Uzushigakure, Soul Society Court.
Rukia suddenly reported, "Lord Soul King, a human girl has smuggled herself in from the direction of the Land of Water. According to the patrol, she seems to have come to become a Shinigami?"
A look of surprise flashed in Chihiro's eyes.
"Land of Water? Hasn't it been sealed off by Hollows? How did she get here?"
Ever since taking over the Land of Water, Chihiro had implemented a closed-door policy for it.
Of course, it wasn't openly declared.
It was merely having Hollows completely surround the borders of the Land of Water, preventing entry and exit.
He hadn't expected there would still be capable individuals in the Land of Water who could escape under the Hollows' blockade.
"Do you know her name?"
Rukia lowered her head and said, "Mei Terumī."
Chihiro's eyes widened slightly.
"Mei Terumī?"
A familiar face of a mature woman subconsciously appeared in his mind.
Isn't this the future Fifth Mizukage?
Why did she come to the Uzushigakure?
And to apply to be a Shinigami?
What kind of situation is this?
The Fifth Mizukage voluntarily delivering herself?
Chihiro's eyes flickered slightly.
Talent that delivers itself, it would be a waste not to take it.
Since Mei Terumī can become the Fifth Mizukage in the future, it proves that her potential is not low.
It's highly possible she's Captain-level.
Suddenly, he remembered Terumī Teru.
Both are from the Terumī Clan; he wondered if they had any relation.
A hint of mischief flashed in Chihiro's mind as he instructed, "Have Terumī Teru run an errand and bring her over."
"Yes!"
A moment later, Terumī Teru arrived at the border of the Uzushigakure, looking bewildered.
He didn't understand why Lord Soul King had suddenly named him as a guide.
When he reached the designated location, a small girl with resolute eyes stood quietly.
A sense of closeness flashed subconsciously in Terumī Teru's heart, but he quickly felt it was inexplicable.
He didn't know why he had this feeling.
He quickly shook off the unnecessary thoughts and walked over.
"Mei Terumī?"
Terumī Teru asked, feeling a slight emotion in his heart.
She has the same surname as him.
The little girl was slightly startled, and her eyes looking at him seemed to hold some excitement, surprise?
What's going on?
"Fa—Father!"
"Huh?"
Terumī Teru froze on the spot.
He, a Bachelor, when did he have such a big daughter?
He gave an awkward laugh and said, "Little friend, you've got the wrong person, haven't you?"
The little girl stubbornly shook her head, "Impossible!"
Then she pointed at him and then at herself, seriously stating, "You, Terumī Teru, are my father! I, Mei Terumī, am your daughter!"
Terumī Teru was stunned. This little girl's words really sounded like it could be true?
Could she really be his daughter?
But why couldn't he remember?
At this moment, Mei Terumī suddenly asked in confusion, "Father, aren't you dead?"
Terumī Teru's face darkened. This was definitely not his daughter! Absolutely impossible!
Mei Terumī also seemed to feel that what she said was inappropriate, and she awkwardly said, "Ahaha. I heard it from others, those people really were lying to me!"
To ensure authenticity, Mei Terumī pretended to angrily wave her small pink fists.
Terumī Teru said helplessly, "Forget it, come with me."
Mei Terumī's eyes immediately lit up, and she quickly followed.
She hadn't forgotten what she had painstakingly come to the Uzushigakure for!
That was to become a Shinigami, to exterminate all Hollows, and save the Land of Water!
On the way, as they walked, Mei Terumī asked, "~ Father, have you become a Shinigami?"
Terumī Teru replied, "Firstly, I am not your father. Secondly, I am indeed a Shinigami!"
"So amazing!"
Mei Terumī's eyes were filled with admiration. Her father had been gone for so long, and it turned out he had become a Shinigami!
"Then why doesn't Father return to the Land of Water?"
Terumī Teru asked in confusion, "Why should I return?"
Mei Terumī was stunned, then said, "The Land of Water is where our home is!"
"Nonsense, the Uzushigakure is my home!"
Mei Terumī: "…"
Good news: her father wasn't dead.
Bad news: his head was messed up.
She opened her mouth, wanting to say something more.
But she was quickly awestruck by the appearance of the Soul Society Court!
"So, so beautiful!"
And everywhere were righteous Shinigami!
Those people in the Land of Water said these Shinigami were invaders, but clearly these Shinigami had been fighting Hollows and rescuing them from the Hollows' grasp!
If these Shinigami were really invaders, bad guys, then how could her father be serving as a Shinigami in the Uzushigakure?
And even look proud of it!
Therefore, there were bad people among the populace of the Land of Water!
She clenched her fists and secretly vowed: once she achieved success in her studies in the Uzushigakure, she would definitely spread the justice of the Shinigami to every corner of the Land of Water!
Let those ignorant people know the greatness of the Shinigami! 2
"Alright, that's Lord Soul King's residence ahead. You can go by yourself. When you reach the entrance, someone will naturally meet you."mortar
"Wait!" Mei Terumī called out to Terumī Teru, who was about to leave, and asked, "Where should I find you after I'm done?"
Terumī Teru paused. He hadn't intended to answer. But a voice kept speaking within him. Zero
He hesitated slightly, but still said, "If you manage to stay, come find me at the Ninth Division."⑷
"Okay!" Umbrella
Mei Terumī responded clearly, then walked in with determined steps. 5
Terumī Teru gave a wry smile. This little one, could she really have been his daughter in a past life? 6
(For money) He is surnamed Terumī, and she is also surnamed Terumī. 4
Hiss—
On the other side, Mei Terumī, led by Rukia, walked towards the main hall.
Along the way, Mei Terumī was still thinking.
Lord Soul King?
He must be the leader of the Shinigami, right?
Then he must be a very good person!
Just then, Rukia's voice rang out.
"Lord Soul King, the person has been brought."
Mei Terumī subconsciously stopped and looked up.
A handsome young man with bright red hair met her eyes.
So, so handsome!
Mei Terumī's heart skipped a beat, and she screamed inwardly.
Mom! I'm one step closer to my dream!
Marrying a handsome man was her dream since childhood!
Now, it was the first time she was so close to her dream!
Chihiro was also observing her.
Emerald green eyes, long reddish-brown curly hair that crossed like a pine tree, her right eye covered by hair, pink lips, and fair skin.
Hmm… he hadn't expected Mei Terumī to be dressed so fashionably at such a young age.
The only pity was that her physical advantages hadn't developed yet.
Chihiro estimated her age to be around seven or eight.
Even younger than Kushina.
Hiss—
One could only say she truly lived up to being the woman who would become the Fifth Mizukage in the future.
To be able to evade the Hollow's blockade at such a young age.
She truly is an excellent talent!
However, this excellent talent, his Uzushigakure would gladly accept.
Since she's already here, she shouldn't think about leaving.
After all, the current Land of Water belongs entirely to the Uzushigakure.
Chihiro composed himself and asked, "Do you have any requests for coming to the Uzushigakure?"
Mei Terumī was still immersed in Chihiro's beauty, and upon hearing this, she blurted out instinctively, "Marry you!"
Chihiro: "???"
