Naruto: I, who didn't want to be hacked to pieces, saved the ninja world.

"Yes! I'm here today to challenge him too!"

Heitu flashed a confident, sunny smile.

"Well... Aoba and Mei Terumi just left not long ago, so I'm afraid you won't be able to challenge him."

Uzuki Yugao gave an apologetic smile.

"Click—"

"Wh...what?"

The smile on Heitu's face froze instantly.

"If you really want to challenge Aoba, you can come back this afternoon after they return."

Uzuki Yugao offered the other party a piece of advice.

However, Kurotsuchi's eyes were lifeless, like a pitiful creature who had made a promise but was suddenly abandoned by his best friend.

"Ugh……"

Uzuki Yugao could only silently complain about Aoba in her heart.

"You go inside first."

……

"Little brother Qingye, this is delicious, you should try some too."

Commercial street.

Shirakumo Aoba and Terumi Mei were holding hands.

Mei Terumi is holding a skewer of dumplings that she has already taken a bite of and handing it to Aoba Shirakumo.

He looked at the spot where Mei Terumi had bitten him, but didn't seem disgusted, and bit back.

It's just a little water; I'll probably have to eat much more in the future.

Judging from their height, the two look like siblings, but they give off completely different vibes.

Mei Terumi's face was filled with childlike excitement and anticipation.

Baiyun Qingye, on the other hand, remained calm and composed throughout.

Shirakumo Aoba looked again at her right hand, which was being held tightly by Terumi Mei.

After thinking about it, I still couldn't break free.

Mei Terumi's hands were soft, and it felt quite comfortable to be enveloped in them.

However, since his hand was being held by her, Mei Terumi fed him almost everything delicious he encountered along the way.

Mei Terumi seemed to enjoy herself immensely, appearing even happier than before.

Buy whatever you see.

Baiyun and Qingye are almost full.

However, judging from this, they do seem to have the feel of a couple.

As the two traveled together, Baiyun Qingye discovered...

The stores they visited today were all stores they had been to before.

The only difference is that before, we walked together as a group, but this time, there were only two of us.

Looks like you've been scouting locations regularly.

Snacks, movies, food, desserts, games.

These are all essential activities for young men and women on a date, and Mei Terumi took Aoba Shirakumo to experience them all.

Mei Terumi, an older single woman who has never been in a relationship, finally got to experience a couple's date without anyone bothering her.

The smile on her face never stopped.

Even the white clouds and green leaves find joy in it.

……

evening.

As the sun gradually slid down the western horizon, the clouds on the horizon were edged with a dazzling gold, surrounding the setting sun.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on Konoha Village, and the surrounding trees were also tinged with a golden color.

"Aoba, do you like me?"

Walking home, gazing at the beautiful scenery before her, Terumi Mei smiled and murmured to herself in a blissful state.

Bai Yun Qingye, who was standing to the side, paused briefly after hearing this, and then answered softly.

"like."

Mei Terumi's lips curled up even higher. "I knew it. What a greedy and lewd little brother of yours."

Baiyun Qingye did not refute.

This is also human nature.

"Aren't you sure you don't want to come to Kirigakure with your sister? As long as you're willing to come to Kirigakure, even if you have a lot of girlfriends, your sister can accept it."

Mei Terumi turned her head and winked at Aoba Shirakumo.

Shirokumo Aoba couldn't help but laugh. "In Konoha, I'm the man who's going to become Hokage. What can I become if I go to Kirigakure?"

"Isn't becoming the Mizukage enough?"

Chapter 218 Clarifying the Relationship

Mei Terumi moved even closer.

"Or is it that my charm as the Mizukage is not as great as your Hokage teacher's?"

Shirokumo Aoba's gaze unconsciously drifted to a certain spot, "It's definitely not as big as the teacher's..."

"you!"

Hard!

Mei Terumi felt her fist harden!

She used to look down on others, but now she's the one being looked down upon.

"Hmph! Being too big is no good either. I'm just the right size. Any bigger and I'd become a burden."

Mei Terumi gave a defiant reply.

Baiyun Qingye didn't expose her, but instead asked, "Then are you interested in becoming the Hokage's wife?"

Mei Terumi froze, "What...what do you mean?"

"Since you want to lure me to Kirigakure, why can't I lure you to Konoha?"

Baiyun Qingye raised her hand and brushed aside the bangs that were covering the other person's right eye.

Its emerald green eyes were like jewels.

The other person's expression at that moment looked somewhat dazed and innocent.

"Mei Terumi, there's no way I'm going to Kirigakure. Why don't you leave Kirigakure and come to Konoha?"

Baiyun Qingye stared intently into the other person's eyes, her expression serious.

Some things should be made clear.

"It seems my honey trap has completely failed."

Mei Terumi pursed her lips, gazing at the white clouds and green leaves.

She knew that it was impossible for the other party to return to Wuyin with her. In fact, she had understood this a long time ago, but now that she had been formally rejected, she suddenly felt a sense of emptiness in her heart.

Bai Yun Qingye remained silent, also waiting for the other party to make the choice he had already guessed.

a long time.

Mei Terumi released his hand, revealing a playful smile, and teased, "Little brother, you don't actually think I've fallen for you, do you?"

"Those were all acts, they were fake, just a way to lure you to Kirigakure with me. As a ninja, the first thing you have to learn is deception."

"I see. I've heard that the more beautiful a woman is, the more likely she is to lie."

A look of disappointment appeared on Baiyun Qingye's face.

"If you feel sad and want to cry, you can still have a hug from your older sister. Consider it a thank you gift for this time."

Mei Terumi opened her arms, wanting to comfort the other person.

Bai Yun Qingye looked at the ravine in front of her and was somewhat tempted.

But he didn't do that; instead, he changed the subject.

“I gave the teacher a suggestion yesterday.”

"Ok?"

Mei Terumi had no idea what else the other party planned to say.

However, she has decided to end this relationship, which has no future.

Although she was a little sad, this was the only boy she had ever met who could make her heart flutter.

“Sunagakure plans to launch a war against Konoha during the Chunin Exams. They have already brought the Tailed Beasts to Konoha. I suggest that you directly annex Sunagakure.”

"what?!"

Upon hearing this information, Mei Terumi exclaimed in surprise, but her expression turned serious. "How could you casually reveal such important information about the village!"

She overlooked the second half of Baiyun Qingye's sentence.

"Because I believe you won't tell anyone."

Bai Yunqingye said frankly.

"you!"
