Utakata knew Mei Terumi had something to discuss with Uchiha Kazama, so he stood up and left the conference room.
Yugito escorted him out.
As for Kurenai Yuhi, she was already terribly sleepy.
On top of that, Mei Terumi was looking at her.
Clearly, whatever they were about to discuss was not meant for her ears.
A strange gleam appeared in Kurenai Yuhi's eyes. She told Kazama she was heading back, then left as well.
"Mizukage, is there something important you wanted to discuss?"
Uchiha Kazama spoke leisurely.
"Your genjutsu is very powerful, isn't it?"
"I hope... you can help me."
Mei Terumi took a deep breath before speaking slowly.
"Help you?!"
"Well..."
Uchiha Kazama froze.
The request left him utterly baffled.
"I want to enter a genjutsu and see what's in my own heart."
"Just cast a genjutsu on me that lets me look into my heart."
Mei Terumi looked at Uchiha Kazama expectantly.
Uchiha Kazama paused at her words.
"All right."
Nodding, Uchiha Kazama activated his Mangekyō Sharingan.
He pulled Mei Terumi straight into an illusion.
A solemn wedding hall.
Brilliant flowers.
A bride and groom slowly walked inside.
The bride was Mei Terumi.
Her bridal gown made her look even more stunning.
And the groom... was him?!
Kazama felt utterly stunned as he watched the scene.
Mei Terumi... how could she...
Watching Mei Terumi, who had already become immersed in the illusion, Kazama grew puzzled.
With everything Mei Terumi had going for her, if she wanted to...
Wait, wasn't Mei Terumi unmarried in the original story?
Perhaps that was one of her regrets.
With this happening now, was Mei Terumi confessing her feelings to him in a roundabout way?!
As that thought crossed his mind, the scene before his eyes interrupted his musings.
This...
*Was Mei Terumi
