Chapter 20 "A Friendship Across Ages"
"..."
Mei Terumi recognized the voice as her own.
Aside from understanding "Uchiha Madara" in the first few sentences, I had no idea who the rest of the descriptions were referring to.
Only the last one...
"What does 'an older single woman who only knows how to spray water' even mean?!"
Mei Terumi lowered her head slightly, her face gloomy, and she gritted her teeth.
"Don't rush, you said it yourself, and besides, I also think there's something wrong with that statement."
Bai Mo had a serious expression on his face.
"Oh?"
Mei Terumi's emerald green eyes lit up immediately. "Then you tell me..."
"You can spray not only water, but also slime and acid mist."
"...So being a 'leftover woman' at an older age is a valid excuse, right?"
Mei Terumi's expression froze again, and she gritted her teeth.
Ok?
Before she could continue to vent her anger, Mei Terumi suddenly froze.
How did the other party know that she knew Lava Release and Boil Release?
She's just a nobody right now, she's never even left the Land of Water.
Is it...
Mei Terumi is now beginning to believe Bai Mo's claims about coming from the future.
Unexpectedly, she later became the Fifth Mizukage and even fought against the legendary Madara Uchiha...
Wasn't Madara Uchiha dead a long time ago?
Bai Mo brought so much information to Terumi Mei that she didn't know what to say first.
After holding it in for a while, Mei Terumi finally released her grip on her lower lip, her red lips slightly parted: "I know you won't tell me how you got back or about your private matters, so tell me how we met in the future, and where you got this thing."
"Is this all you need?"
"Actually, it's nothing. During the upcoming Chunin Exams, the Five Kage Summit will be held, and since all five Kage are gathered, I took a picture with each of them."
"As for this recording, it was originally a video. The Sixth Mizukage went to a meeting, and you, who came with him, had nothing to do. So you chatted with me and decided to go to a bar for a drink, and you dragged me along to drink with you."
I was worried that if something happened, there would be no one to testify, so I recorded a video.
This is the extracted audio.
Ha ha.
Mei Terumi felt like she was about to laugh out loud in anger.
What does it mean to "worry that if something happens, no one will be able to testify"?
She's so beautiful and charming, shouldn't she be worried about what might happen to her?
Hiss—wait.
"You just said you're from how many years in the future?"
Mei Terumi clenched her fists and looked nervously at Bai Mo.
"twenty."
"ah."
Terumi Mei was speechless.
Twenty years from now, will she still be single?
Today was supposed to be a good day. They had gathered together, ready to dispel the genjutsu on the Fourth Mizukage, blow away the blood mist of Kirigakure, and welcome a bright future.
Upon hearing this news, Mei Terumi felt an overwhelming sense of darkness about the future and lost all motivation in life.
"Don't be too sad, this isn't your fault. There are plenty of opportunities to change things now, aren't there? Look, the first place among the five great ninja villages that came to the Land of Water to find you was because we were, after all, close friends despite our age difference..."
"Cough cough cough!!!"
Originally, Mei Terumi's mood had gradually calmed down after listening to Bai Mo's comforting words.
As a result, Bai Mo's words "friendship across generations" made Terumi Mei's vision go black and she almost vomited blood.
It took Mei Terumi quite a while to come to her senses.
"What is that photo you're holding?"
Zhao Mei meditated on what Bai Mo had taken out of the scroll: not only audio tapes, but also photos. He had also mentioned the group photo earlier.
"Here you go, deal with it yourself."
Bai Mo didn't say anything more to provoke Terumi Mei, and simply handed over the photo.
Mei Terumi took a deep breath, took the photo, mustered her courage, and looked at it.
"!"
Even though she was mentally prepared, Mei Terumi almost fainted.
"Boiling Release: Skillful Mist Technique!"
Mei Terumi tossed the photo aside into the air and exhaled a thick cloud of acidic mist.
The Boiling Release, capable of melting Susanoo, instantly turned the photograph into ashes.
Snapped.
After dealing with the photos, Mei Terumi turned around, walked up to Bai Mo, placed her hand on Bai Mo's shoulder, straightened his head, and, under Bai Mo's bewildered expression, said, "Look at me, remember what I look like now, and forget your previous memories!"
At this moment, only one of Mei Terumi's emerald green eyes is visible; the other eye is covered by her long, reddish-brown hair.
She wasn't wearing the strapless dress of the future, but just ordinary Kirigakure ninja attire.
However, the black stockings underneath are as always...
"Well, Lord Mizukage, before you say that, why don't you go and borrow another deity?"
Bai Mo smiled helplessly.
"Don't call me Mizukage, I'm not Mizukage yet. Just call me Mei."
"Give me the recording, and I'll consider hearing your thoughts on the collaboration."
Terumi Mei released Shiramo and then reached for the cassette tape in Shiramo's hand.
Bai Mo did not resist, and released his grip, allowing Terumi Mei to take the tape.
Instead of destroying the tape, Mei Terumi put it away, then her expression returned to calm and serious: "Now, let's talk about the collaboration."
Mei Terumi was actually the youngest of the five Kage in the Fourth Shinobi World War.
After the death of the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, the leadership of Kirigakure was held by Genshi. Mei Terumi only became Mizukage at the Five Kage Summit.
Mei Terumi was directly appointed as the Mizukage by the master without any objections, and her success in resolving the Yagura genjutsu incident today is one of the reasons for this.
Most importantly, Mei Terumi's long-standing love and sense of belonging to the village is evident to all, and she has gained everyone's recognition, which is why she became the Mizukage.
Therefore, when Bai Mo, a person from the future, mentions cooperation with Kirigakure, Mei Terumi will naturally take it seriously.
Therefore, she has now completely put aside the sadness she felt after learning that she was indeed an older single woman and has entered a calm state.
"As for cooperation, firstly, the Land of Waves is currently within our sphere of influence. Once the Blood Mist is dispelled and the Land of Water opens up, all diplomacy can proceed through there..."
The resources of the Water Country are nothing more than seafood and tourism based on sunshine and beaches.
Although I never went there, I was curious at the time, and you gave me some photos…”
As soon as Bai Mo took out the photo, Terumi Mei snatched it away.
It seemed as if they were afraid that her future image would appear on the screen again.
However, this time there were only scenes and passersby and tourists on the screen, which made Terumi Mei breathe a sigh of relief.
"What beautiful scenery, what a relaxing atmosphere. Can the future be this wonderful after the blood mist dissipates?"
Mei Terumi looked at the photo with some emotion.
"Thank you. Knowing this will save me a lot of trouble. I will try to persuade Master Yuan to talk to the Daimyo and encourage Kirigakure in the Land of Water to develop in this direction and cooperate with you."
After regaining her senses, Mei Terumi thanked him sincerely.
Faced with Mei's gratitude, Bai Mo shook his head: "No, I hope you become the Mizukage as soon as possible and gain control over Kirigakure and the Land of Water."
You don't actually think I traveled through time and all the way to the Water Kingdom just to make money through a business partnership, do you?
Will the future remain turbulent?
Mei Terumi sighed softly.
In fact, ever since Mei Terumi began to believe that Shiramo was from the future, she had already had a premonition about this.
