Konoha: From the moment I was adopted by Tsunade

Chapter 124 Mei Terumi Practices Repaying Kindness

"It's still the same."

Natsume witnessed the entire process of Sasuke Uchiha awakening his Sharingan.

Although Itachi Uchiha's Tsukuyomi was absent, the outcome remained unchanged.

He is, after all, a reincarnation of Indra's chakra.

The talent is quite good.

Even activating the first tomoe feels slightly out of place.

After knocking Sasuke Uchiha unconscious, the Anbu ninjas took him to the ninja hospital.

The unusual behavior she had just witnessed made her somewhat worried.

Moreover, Hiruzen Sarutobi had instructed that his safety must be guaranteed.

Natsume looked away and did not follow.

He turned around and went home.

Kurama Yakumo is sleeping on the sofa.

Because we've been waiting for so long.

Tsunade and Shizune have both disappeared.

Natsume touched his chin.

As a high-ranking member of Konoha, Tsunade was most likely at the Hokage Building at this time.

He had neither the interest nor the right to participate in the discussion.

But the outcome was inevitable.

The Uchiha clan has been wiped out.

Hiruzen Sarutobi doesn't have much room for maneuver.

Uchiha Itachi was listed as a rogue ninja, and Shimura Danzo was punished for his disobedience.

All that's left is to arrange the funeral.

However, this humiliation will only strengthen Danzo Shimura's resolve to become Hokage.

Before long, a storm of public opinion will sweep through Konoha.

The Land of Water.

Hidden Mist Village.

Mei Terumi is practicing her voice.

Because Natsume said she wanted to hear a song, but she was a novice, she could only ask a famous songstress from the Land of Water.

The songstress taught her a method for vocal training.

Singing as they walk.

Keep your body relaxed, but not truly relaxed; rather, be relaxed on the outside but tense on the inside.

When singing, one must maintain a steady breath and keep the resonance of the voice in the correct position.

It's not about focusing your strength on your throat; you need to move your whole body.

If you can keep practicing your voice for two or three hours and still have a clear voice afterward, then you can consider it a success.

Mei Terumi has been training hard for some time to repay her debt of gratitude.

The effect is indeed quite good.

From being tone-deaf at the beginning, he has now become quite good at it.

Because she was worried about being noticed, she always practiced at night in the Mizukage's office.

Suddenly, applause broke out.

Mei Terumi suffered cardiac arrest.

Oh no, if people find out that the seemingly dignified and serious Mizukage is actually doing this kind of thing in private...

Her prestige will surely plummet.

Just as she was even considering whether to silence them, she discovered that the person who came was Natsume.

"You...you did that on purpose, didn't you?"

Terumi Mei breathed a sigh of relief and asked.

"Intentionally? What do you mean, intentionally?"

Natsume leaned back on the sofa in a very relaxed and comfortable position, looking at her still shaken appearance, and laughed, "Are you that afraid of being seen?"

"I am the Water Shadow."

Mei Terumi pursed her lips; she was definitely doing it on purpose.

"What's wrong with the Mizukage? The Mizukage can have a normal life too."

Natsume said meaningfully, "Like singing, dancing, sports, and romance."

"What nonsense are you spouting? How could the Mizukage possibly do those things?"

Mei Terumi's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and she hurriedly reached out to tuck a few stray strands of hair behind her ears.

Her subconscious actions gave her a unique girlish charm.

"But you were just singing."

Natsume looked at her and said.

That's because of your deal.

Mei Terumi quickly said, "It wasn't something I wanted to do."

"What do you want to do?"

Following her words, Natsume asked.

Terumi Mei was stunned.

She hadn't thought about that.

From childhood to adulthood, she seemed to have been preparing for the role of Mizukage.

That's all.

I only got into singing because of Natsume.

Mei Terumi pursed her lips, ultimately skipping the topic and asking, "Why did you come over so late at night?"

"Listen to you sing."

Natsume answered without hesitation.

"Not today."

Mei Terumi's pupils dilated slightly. "I'm not ready yet."

She absolutely cannot allow herself to make mistakes or not do things perfectly.

Especially in front of Natsume.

cough.

The main issue is that it involves a 700 million loan, so we can't be careless.

"Your chamber of commerce representatives have arrived."

Mei Terumi abruptly changed the subject again, saying, "The opening of the shipping route is underway and is expected to be completed within three months."

"Hard."

Natsume didn't expose her clumsy acting and smiled, "After the air route is opened, we will still need your Kirigakure to provide long-term protection."

"That's no problem."

Mei Terumi, who had always wanted to make money off him, continued, "When are you planning to go to the Land of Whirlpools?"

"Maybe next time."

Natsume stood up, stretched, and said, "Since I can't listen to the song, I won't disturb your practice."

Mei Terumi hesitated, unsure of what to say.

Natsume, who had walked to the window, suddenly stopped and waved to her.

"What's wrong?"

Mei Terumi walked over with a puzzled look on her face.

"Don't move."

Natsume said with a serious expression.

Mei Terumi nodded subconsciously.

Then, she saw Natsume gradually approaching, the distance between them constantly shrinking, as if it were about to become negative.

Instantly, her heart began to pound uncontrollably, and even her body trembled slightly as she wanted to escape.

That excessively handsome face expanded in her vision until it finally stopped at a distance of about one centimeter.

"what!"

Natsume's regretful voice rang out.

The warm breath he exhaled landed on her snow-white neck, making her feel a little itchy.

"He really is shorter than you!"

Natsume, deeply affected, muttered to himself.

"..."

Terumi Mei's eyelashes trembled slightly.

That's it?

I thought you were up to something.

For some reason, she still felt a faint sense of disappointment.

But after Natsume's reminder, she finally realized that the guy in front of her was just a boy, not a mature man.

Judging from his appearance, he's probably only a teenager.

They're way too young.

Standing next to her, people would only mistake them for siblings, not lovers.

"Looking at you up close, you're even more beautiful."

Natsume took the opportunity to scrutinize the girl in front of him.

Because of his height, all he could see were smooth skin.

At the same time, you can also smell a faint body fragrance.

Mei Terumi's body stiffened instantly.

In the quiet Shuiying office, her somewhat rapid breathing could be heard.

Her face flushed slightly, she stepped back, looked away, and said softly, "Thank you for the compliment."

"You're welcome."

Natsume waved his hand, looking somewhat uncomfortable.

Men are most sensitive to length.

For example, height.

Mei Terumi was considerably taller than him.

That's normal, though.

Natsume is still a teenager and will grow taller.

He remembered that Mei Terumi's official height was 1.74 meters, which was indeed quite tall, taller than many boys.

In comparison, Tsunade is a bit shorter, only 1.63 meters tall.

However, being tall has its advantages.

The two offer different user experiences.

"Okay, I'm leaving now."

Natsume sat on the windowsill again and suggested, "Since you're already learning to sing, why don't you learn to dance too?"

Without waiting for her reply, he immediately disappeared.

"???"

Mei Terumi stood there, speechless for a long time at Natsume's increasingly audacious advances.

So, should I learn to dance?

Third update.
