Sarutobi Toru gently stroked the beautiful hair of Mei Terumi, who was massaging his legs, and said, "This war is your best opportunity. You must seize it."
Mei Terumi replied vaguely, "Don't worry. After eating so many White Zetsu Chakra Fruits you gave me and successfully cultivating the Yang God Martial Way, my current strength is definitely the greatest in Kirigakure."
"If you still didn't need the Fourth Mizukage to take the blame, I could pull him from power right now."
Sarutobi Toru shook his head. "Becoming the leader of a village isn't something that can be achieved through strength alone. Otherwise, even if you became Mizukage, the ninja beneath you would only go through the motions."
Mei Terumi gave a soft snort. "Of course I know that. That's why I've already won over quite a few young and promising ninja during this time."
Nodding, Sarutobi Toru had great faith in Mei Terumi's abilities. After all, in the Original Work, she had become Kirigakure's Fifth Mizukage.
As long as Mei Terumi could achieve considerable merit in this war, then, when Uchiha Shisui's Clone stepped forward and abducted Kirigakure's Jinchuriki Mizukage, she could put on a show of turning the tide. Her position as the Fifth Mizukage would then be practically secured.
With his eyes narrowed, Sarutobi Toru finally let out a comfortable sigh under Mei Terumi's exquisite massage techniques. He firmly pressed down on Mei Terumi's head.
After a while, Mei Terumi stood up with a flushed face and disheveled hair, lightly wiping the corner of her mouth. She said confidently.
"My lord, please rest assured. I will help you hold Kirigakure firmly in your hands."
Seeing Mei Terumi's confident expression, Sarutobi Toru felt a few sparks of desire rise in him again and pulled her back into his arms.
