The Fifth Mizukage, Mei Terumi, once again signed her name to a cooperation agreement drafted by Uchiha Minamoto.
Uchiha Minamoto took the plan, checked it over, and nodded in satisfaction.
"A wise choice, Fifth Hokage."
Mei Terumi could no longer spare a thought for anything else.
She had only one thought now: to send this lord on his way as soon as possible.
"Now that we've signed... Lord Minamoto, it's getting rather late..."
That was already a fairly obvious hint for him to leave.
But Uchiha Minamoto seemed not to have picked up on her implied meaning at all.
He put away the "Great Love Group Kirigakure Branch Preparation Plan," then changed the subject.
"Oh, right, there's one more thing I almost forgot to mention."
There's more?
Mei Terumi's eyelid twitched again.
I've already signed two unequal treaties. What else could there possibly be?
"It concerns the choice of head for the Great Love Group Kirigakure Branch."
Uchiha Minamoto raised a hand and gestured.
"And you know this person, too."
Mei Terumi instinctively looked over.
There were only three people in the entire open-air meeting room.
Herself, Uchiha Minamoto, and...
Karatachi Yagura.
Mei Terumi's gaze fell on that taciturn figure, and an absurd thought suddenly flashed through her mind.
No.
Impossible.
Absolutely impossible.
"I can tell from your expression that you've guessed it."
Uchiha Minamoto's smile was as brilliant as the sun hanging over Kirigakure at that moment.
"That's right! I've decided! The head of the Great Love Group Kirigakure Branch will be none other than-Karatachi Yagura!"
"???"
Mei Terumi was utterly dumbfounded.
She had never imagined that Uchiha Minamoto would actually appoint Karatachi Yagura as head of the Great Love Group Kirigakure Branch.
Hadn't he said before that Karatachi Yagura had to die?
Mei Terumi's mind raced at that
