The Mizukage's Office.
Mei Terumi sat at her desk.
As she surveyed everything around her, it all felt unreal.
A few days ago, she had still been a missing-nin from Kirigakure.
Now, in the blink of an eye, she had become the Fifth Mizukage.
That change in status felt like a goddamn dream.
Beside her, Obito teased her with a smile.
"How does it feel, Lady Mizukage?"
Mei Terumi gave Obito an indifferent glance.
"Need something?"

Mei Terumi nodded slightly.
"Do whatever you want... I'll clean up after you."
Obito nodded.
"Great, thanks."
Ten minutes later.
A man with dark blue hair and a sharklike face appeared.
He strode into the Mizukage's Office.
Blue skin, sharp teeth, golden eyes.
This was none other than Kisame Hoshigaki, the powerhouse known as the "Tailless Tailed Beast."
Kisame sounded a little puzzled.
"Fifth Mizukage, you wanted to see me?"
He didn't understand why the newly appointed Mizukage had suddenly summoned him alone.
And there was a strange man standing beside her.
Not only was he wearing a long robe in this sweltering weather, but he also had an eerie white mask
