"It was your Hidden Mist Village that drove Zabuza away."
"Now it's your Hidden Mist Village that wants Zabuza back."
"It was Hidden Mist that branded Zabuza a rogue ninja."
"And now you're the ones pardoning Zabuza."
"It was also you who sent ninja after Zabuza to kill him."
"And I, Naruto Uzumaki, was the one who ultimately saved Zabuza."
Naruto rattled off a whole string of words in one breath, leaving Terumi Mei utterly bewildered.
Terumi Mei lightly bit her lip. "What do you want to do?"
"As long as the Mizukage kisses Kakashi, I'll allow Zabuza to stay in Hidden Mist Village."
Naruto grinned mischievously after saying that.
Kakashi was stunned.
Terumi Mei was stunned.
"Bullshit! What the hell are you talking about?" Ao beside them could no longer endure it.
"Hahahaha." Zabuza Momochi laughed instead. It was rare for him to laugh.
"Naruto, that request is way too strange. Why me?" Kakashi darted over to Naruto's side, asking whether Naruto was plotting something.
Naruto looked at Kakashi with disdain. A grown man afraid of being kissed by a woman? That was downright embarrassing for Konoha.
Terumi Mei lowered her head in thought. Hidden Mist Village's foundations were extremely weak now; the current Hidden Mist Village was practically a ruined village.
And kissing Kakashi cost her nothing, yet it would allow Zabuza to return to Hidden Mist. This was simply a huge bargain.
Ever since becoming Mizukage, Terumi Mei always put the village's interests first when making decisions. Sacrificing herself a little was not something she could not accept.
For the sake of the village, Terumi Mei decided to make that sacrifice.
"Fine." Terumi Mei agreed to Naruto's request without the slightest hesitation.
"What?" Kakashi was dumbfounded. He had thought Naruto was merely joking, never expecting Mizukage Terumi
