Chapter 314: Mei Terumī's Voluntary Devotion
Kurotsuchi was not a heartless person; she just felt that Mei Terumī was already Akiyama Makoto's ally, but not very well-liked by Makoto.
On Mei Terumī's side, she felt that she understood everything, and at the same time mourned for Ao's experience.
He was implanted with the Hyūga family's Byakugan, which was the original sin for those close to the Hyūga family.
Mei Terumī could only hope that the Cloud Village's subsequent experience would balance Ao's mind a little.
Then the two chatted a lot about what they saw and heard in the Land of Waves, and both felt that they had more understanding of each other and Makoto.
Makoto had powerful strength, and his actions gave people a domineering feeling.
But surprisingly, he wasn't a domineering person. If you felt he was domineering, it only proved that you were his enemy or stood on his opposite side.
After agreeing to be Karin's assistant, Kurotsuchi immediately enjoyed the treatment of a guest.
Mei Terumī felt that she should also change her mentality and find her position by Makoto's side.
But—what should her position be? Being Makoto's subordinate?
However, Makoto said he wanted her—
Or maybe she misunderstood, and Makoto just used these words to express that he wasn't interested in the Hidden Mist Village?
Thinking about it, Mei Terumī felt her body becoming restless.
Kurotsuchi looked at her strangely and said, "You aren't bad at taijutsu, are you? If you feel dizzy, get out early. I don't want to carry you out."
Mei Terumī rolled her eyes, instantly giving Kurotsuchi a feeling of amorous charm.
This feeling made Kurotsuchi shudder, and even show a disgusted expression.
Mei Terumī wasn't angry either. Looking at Kurotsuchi's lively face-making appearance, she felt that the other party was clearly just a child.
And she was already a mature woman.
Being any more mature might be overdoing it.
Perhaps this was also an opportunity to find an answer to a life question for herself.
Who would she be in the future? Mei Terumī couldn't answer this question herself. What if Makoto had the answer?
After bathing, Mei Terumī changed into a yukata provided by the maid and walked barefoot towards the room where Makoto was.
As the door opened, Makoto, who was meditating with his eyes closed to cultivate natural energy, slowly opened his eyes.
A trace of natural energy escaped from his body. Although invisible and intangible, it gave Makoto a strange feeling of merging with the surroundings.
This feeling added an unworldly aura to Makoto, who already looked handsome because of his vigorous vitality.
Mei Terumī didn't find this aura strange.
Having such strength at this age, Makoto naturally should have matching aura.
She took two steps forward and stood in front of Makoto. The yukata only covered the upper part of her thighs. Her slender and beautiful legs were close together, with no gap visible in between, only crystal water droplets rolling down her white jade-like skin.
Mei Terumī was indeed not good at taijutsu, which was also the reason why she could maintain beautiful skin.
Otherwise, relying only on natural beauty, even Tsunade couldn't hold up at her age.
Makoto looked her up and down unceremoniously, and then said with interest, "I didn't expect you to really come—do I look like this kind of person to you?"
Makoto was indeed interested in Mei Terumī, even more interested than becoming the Mizukage, but this was only because Makoto wasn't interested in the Mizukage, not that Makoto was thirsty.
If Mei Terumī threw herself into his arms so straightforwardly, Makoto wouldn't want it.
Not that he didn't dare, but he didn't want a woman with no emotional foundation and self-importance to ruin the relationship between him and the girls around him.
It was okay for Mei Terumī to join, but she must also have some awareness. It depended on whether she could comprehend it herself.
And Mei Terumī's words also surprised Makoto for a few seconds.
"My lord, this is also what I wanted to ask you. If you treat me—what kind of identity will you give me?"
Mei Terumī's finger rested on the yukata. With just a gentle pull, she could display her beautiful body in front of Makoto.
However, her fingers trembled slightly, because although she appeared strong and generous on the surface, she wasn't as straightforward as Tsunade.
On the contrary, Mei Terumī, who had always wanted to find a handsome guy to marry but ended up single, was very innocent in a sense.
She would rather lack than settle for less, and obviously couldn't accept some insufficiently excellent relationships.
Makoto stroked his chin and said, "It seems you really want to give something—then I can let you be the Mizukage, and promise to help you solve the troubles of the Hidden Mist Village, and also let the Hidden Mist Village develop peacefully with other countries."
"As for you personally, since you will be the Mizukage, you probably won't have the chance to stay by my side all the time."
"I promise you this freedom, but if you become my woman, you must be loyal to me and bear at least one child for me, how about it?"
Mei Terumī's body trembled. Hearing such a topic as having children, even she couldn't help blushing.
She didn't throw a childish tantrum, but looked at Makoto thoughtfully, considering the authenticity of Makoto's promises.
Makoto seemed to have this strength, and willingness to leave offspring with her also meant that Makoto was willing to admit her identity.
It was just that there were already many girls around Makoto. If she got involved—forget it, why should she consider this topic?
What she had to do today was purely a political transaction, which was also the only thing she could offer now.
Why not—just do it?
Mei Terumī bit her lip lightly and pulled her finger down slowly, but she still had a question in her heart and said, "What about Zabuza? How do you plan to arrange him? Won't he be angry if you don't let him be the Mizukage?"
Makoto smiled slightly and said, "Zabuza is actually not suitable to be the Mizukage. He knows this very well himself."
"He is used to killing and knows nothing about governance. Even if he becomes the Mizukage, daily affairs will be handed over to you, and he probably won't be used to it himself."
"What's more, whoever becomes the Mizukage still has to listen to my arrangement. I don't owe Zabuza anything."
In fact, it should be Zabuza owing Makoto.
Makoto helped him fulfill his life ideal, so according to the rules of the ninja world, it was only natural for Zabuza to die for Makoto.
What's more, Makoto let him become the Mizukage. Although this was a means for Makoto to control the Hidden Mist Village, becoming a Kage of a village was already the highest honor a ninja in the ninja world could get.
Even if Makoto changed his mind now and didn't let Zabuza become the Mizukage directly, Zabuza would be at least a consultant-level character. What else could he be dissatisfied with?
Zabuza was a person who understood the times, otherwise he wouldn't stay by Makoto's side to serve.
Only then did Mei Terumī breathe a sigh of relief, and finally pulled down her yukata slowly, revealing her beautiful figure in front of Makoto.
At this moment, she was also a little shy, not knowing where to put her hands and feet, but finally chose to stand quietly in front of Makoto.
"Then, my lord, please let me become your concubine. And in the future, I want to become the Mizukage and bring a brand new future to the Hidden Mist Village."
A smile appeared on the corner of Makoto's mouth. He reached out his hand and pulled Mei Terumī to sit on his lap.
Looking at Mei Terumī's shy appearance, he lowered his head and kissed the mature beauty in front of him.
Mei Terumī trembled slightly but didn't dodge, which was enough to explain her determination.
Unfortunately, only determination, because there was no favorability prompt from the system, but for Makoto, this gain was enough.
Originally in the simulation, it would be a very troublesome thing for him to make Mei Terumī his woman, because this woman was very proud and basically unlikely to yield.
But now it seemed that because of Obito, Mei Terumī led a team to investigate Makoto's reality, but delivered herself to the door.
Currently, Mei Terumī and Makoto had established a purely political alliance relationship, initiated by Mei Terumī. Although this couldn't be called love, at least it saved Makoto the effort of pursuing Mei Terumī.
Makoto waved his hand, the door closed gently, and the room became dim. Mei Terumī moaned softly and lay on Makoto's shoulder.
She closed her eyes, eyebrows trembling, but slowly calmed down and enjoyed the first time in her life.
Facts proved that some things she worried about didn't happen. With Makoto, an old hand, Mei Terumī felt immersed in a joyous ocean until the end. When she opened her eyes, her whole body was lazy.
She looked at Makoto, who was closing his eyes to rest beside her, a smile appearing on the corner of her mouth, and actively kissed Makoto's cheek.
[Ding, more intimate contact with ninja Mei Terumī, simulation attempts +3.]
Makoto also opened his eyes and looked at Mei Terumī with a strange look.
Obviously, the two had done things of the fourth level of intimacy, but the system only gave rewards for the second level of intimacy. Sure enough, is this a political marriage?
But facts proved that breaking through Mei Terumī's defense meant it wasn't far from breaking through Mei Terumī's psychological defense.
This proud woman put down her pride in front of Makoto, also put down all disguises, and gave everything to Makoto.
"Why look at me like that? Is there anything strange about me?"
Mei Terumī was apprehensive. Makoto made her very happy, but she didn't know how her performance was.
Makoto smiled and shook his head, saying, "No, you are very good. You are the most voluptuous woman next to Sister Tsunade."
Mei Terumī wanted to laugh subconsciously, but then her smile stiffened.
She struggled to sit up, looked at Makoto in shock and doubt, and said, "The Sister Tsunade you mentioned—is the new Hokage?"
"That's right."
Mei Terumī opened her mouth wide, looked at Makoto in disbelief, then felt a burst of shame and anger, which finally turned into helplessness.
Her hand placed on Makoto's chest, imagining the legendary Sannin also intoxicated by Makoto, she chuckled.
"So that's how it is. Now I understand."
"Our understanding of your intelligence is still too little. It probably won't be long before your power becomes so strong that a single ninja village can't shake it."
"Besides the Hokage, you don't intend to let go of Kurotsuchi either, right?"
Looking at the enlightenment in Mei Terumī's eyes, Makoto didn't intend to say too much, after all, the favorability between the two wasn't enough.
He just shrugged and replied, "If Kurotsuchi is interested in me, I won't refuse."
Makoto didn't lower his voice when saying this, causing the shoulders of a girl shrinking in the shadows outside the room to tremble slightly.
She had been here for a while, intending to proactively help Karin call Makoto for dinner, but she heard the joyful symphony belonging to adults.
Kurotsuchi was scared and wanted to run away, but recognized that it was Mei Terumī's voice.
Not long ago, she said that Makoto liked her instead of Mei Terumī, but now Mei Terumī seized the opportunity first—no, proved her wrong.
Angry, Kurotsuchi just squatted down, seemingly wanting to get back at them, but more of an indescribable unwillingness in her heart.
And now, because of Makoto's words, Kurotsuchi's unwillingness disappeared, transformed into a mellow excitement, making her want to work hard to do something now.
She stood up and left stealthily. When she arrived at the dining room, she met the eyes of Temari and Karin.
"Where is Makoto-kun? Did he fall asleep?"
Temari asked curiously, and Karin also looked at Kurotsuchi.
Although Kurotsuchi being Karin's assistant was stipulated by Makoto, she and Karin were familiar with each other, and the two could already be called friends.
Kurotsuchi could only say awkwardly, "Um, Mei Terumī is in Makoto-kun's room. They—"
Kurotsuchi blushed. Karin and Temari looked at each other and saw the look of "sure enough" in each other's eyes.
As early as seeing Mei Terumī's appearance, they guessed this day would come, just didn't expect it to be so soon.
It wasn't that they thought Makoto wouldn't let go of any girl, but Makoto had already told them the importance of Mei Terumī.
In a sense, the importance of Mei Terumī to the Hidden Mist Village was equivalent to the importance of Temari plus Gaara to the Sand Village.
Pulling such a woman into Makoto's family was obviously something Makoto was determined to get.
"Wait, why aren't you angry? Isn't Makoto-kun your boyfriend? Or do you acquiesce that Makoto can flirt around?"
Temari laughed out loud, and Karin also found it funny.
Then, under Kurotsuchi's surprised gaze, Temari said, "Um, although Makoto-kun calls me his girlfriend, actually I am also Makoto-kun's captive, it's just that I chose to become Makoto-kun's person."
"I am an orphan saved by Makoto-kun. Between becoming Makoto-kun's subordinate or family member, I naturally chose the latter."
Then Karin continued, "Actually, Makoto-kun's real girlfriends are all in Konoha, busy with missions. They haven't come yet."
Kurotsuchi held her head, looking confused, and then asked, "How many girlfriends does this guy Makoto have?"
"This question—is a bit complicated."
Temari stretched out her fingers and chanted names one by one. Before she finished chanting the names, Kurotsuchi ran out screaming.
Watching Kurotsuchi's back disappear, Temari said lazily, "Is this really okay? Will it ruin Makoto-kun's good deed?"
Karin said calmly, "We don't need to worry about this kind of thing. Anyway, Makoto-kun will solve it."
"What's more, after seeing Makoto-kun's excellence and realizing that she has a chance, can Miss Kurotsuchi really let go?"
