Konoha and Kirigakure's Handsome Men Showdown

Seeing that she couldn't get any information out of Nara Shikamaru, Mei Terumi didn't care and continued to follow him around, asking questions every now and then.

Those who could answer the questions about Nara Shikamaru were answered one by one; those who couldn't were simply given the same explanation as before.

The two sides maintained a seemingly warm conversation as they arrived at the Konoha Research Bureau, which had been rebuilt countless times.

"This is the Konoha Research Bureau, the place within the Shinobi Alliance responsible for analyzing the Ōtsutsuki."

Mei Terumi was very interested in the Research Bureau and immediately asked if she could go inside for a visit.

But this was rejected by Nara Shikamaru.

"I regret to Mei Terumi, that entry is permitted only with Lord Orochimaru's permission."

That's a real shame.

Mei Terumi took a deep look at the building in front of her, thinking to herself that she would report this matter to the Mizukage when she returned.

The image of Mizukage appeared in her mind. Although his features were very handsome, unfortunately, Yagura was not the type of man Mei Terumi had in mind.

Her ideal man is someone with a handsome, cool appearance, like the Uchiha.

Well, if we could really bring back an Uchiha man, my Mizukage would probably be very happy.

Mei Terumi recalled her nth blind date. Although he was very handsome, the hairstyles of the men in the Kaguya Clan were really hard to describe, so the blind date ended in failure.

"Yo, Kakashi, back from your mission?"

A passionate voice rang out from not far away.

Mei Terumi instinctively looked in the direction of the sound.

"The kappa has become a spirit?"

Upon seeing the owner of the voice, Mei Terumi's first thought was, "Has Konoha developed to such a futuristic level? Why am I seeing a green-skinned kappa wandering the streets?"

Well, it's so-so.

On the other side, Kakashi shrugged, pointed a thumbs-up at Naruto and the other two behind him, and answered the kappa's question.

A tightly bound man, foaming at the mouth and bound by ropes, was being dragged by Naruto.

"What did this guy do wrong?"

Only then did the kappa reveal its true face, exposing its entire appearance to Mei Terumi.

This is... what a...

Teeth are such white things; even from a great distance, you can see the reflection of the other person's teeth.

That being said, Mei Terumi was more interested in Kakashi, who was standing next to the other party.

Although he was wearing a black mask, it couldn't hide his handsome aura.

Mei Terumi believed that the face beneath the mask must be breathtakingly handsome.

Kakashi, Kakashi...

Could it be Hatake Kakashi, the only son of the Fourth Hokage, Hatake Sakumo?!

Mei Terumi immediately realized the other person's identity.

"That guy, well, how should I put it..."

Kakashi was about to explain when he suddenly turned to the side and looked at the deepest part of the street corner.

The next second, Yellow Flash appeared, Minato paused briefly, smiled and nodded at Kakashi, and then immediately disappeared from his sight.

A strangely shaped Kunai landed at the entrance of the Research Bureau. Mei Terumi felt a blur before her eyes, and then saw a man who looked even more handsome than Kakashi appear next to the Kunai. He pushed open the door and rushed inside.

"Who is that...?"

Mei Terumi no longer cared about Kakashi; all her attention was focused on Minato.

She didn't need to say anything more; just from this unique way of making his entrance, she knew that this person must be Minato Namikaze.

Why, why is it that every single man in Konoha, except for a very few pufferfish, is breathtakingly handsome?

In contrast, his own Kirigakure was filled with either the strangely dressed Kaguya Clan, oddballs like Kisame Zabuza, who, although half-covered his face, didn't look as ordinary as Kakashi.

After much deliberation, it seems that the only truly decent man in Kirigakure is their own Mizukage, who never seems to grow up.

"Don't think like that, Mei Terumi- nee. Hozuki Mangetsu is quite good-looking too."

Ringo Ameyuri had been following behind Mei Terumi without saying a word, suddenly spoke up, revealing what Mei Terumi was thinking.

"Mangetsu...?"

Mei Terumi wasn't surprised that her thoughts had been guessed, and instead followed Ringo Ameyuri, recalling what the Mangetsu looked like.

Well, compared to the previous anthropomorphic creatures, Hozuki Mangetsu can definitely be compared to the handsome men of Konoha.

It's a pity she's a bit young; she needs to mentally prepare herself for a younger man type.

Ultimately, it's all Yagura's fault for giving me endless work, which prevented me from having a proper relationship.

"Yuri, that Mizukage of ours is no good."

Mei Terumi's sudden remark almost made Nara Shikamaru, a person with such a strong personality, lose his composure.

Seriously, girl, is it really okay to discuss your Mizukage like this in front of someone from out of town like me?

Are all people from other villages this eccentric?

The thought of having to receive envoys from several other villages made Nara Shikamaru feel like he was going to die.

This sense of relaxation is also a characteristic of the Nara Clan, and it's something you absolutely must experience.
