Mei Terumī's eyes widened, and she quickly covered her cherry-like mouth, her earlobes turning red instantly.
After all, she wasn't her future self yet, lacking that inherent mature charm.
Oh no, I accidentally spoke my mind!
Mei Terumī was on the verge of tears.
Especially after seeing Chihiro's strange gaze, her heart grew even more anxious.
On the first day of her interview, she left a frivolous impression on the boss.
What should I do!
Chihiro sighed inwardly, remarking that the children of the Ninja World were indeed quite precocious.
Thinking about romance at such a young age.
However, this was also related to the low average lifespan of Shinobi, which Chihiro understood.
He didn't deny Mei Terumī, but instead smiled, "Then you'll have to work hard, there are quite a few women eyeing me."
Rukia subconsciously lowered her head.
Mei Terumī hadn't expected Chihiro to say that, and her embarrassment immediately vanished, her favorability towards him shooting up!
She said with a firm tone, "I will work hard!"
Chihiro smiled, then reminded her, "Besides that, don't you have anything else?"
Mei Terumī looked bewildered for a moment, then remembered her true purpose for coming to the Uzushigakure.
Beauty is misleading!
Mei Terumī sighed inwardly, then seriously said, "I'm here to apply to be a Shinigami!"
Chihiro wasn't surprised that Mei Terumī knew the Uzushigakure was the Shinigami's nation.
After all, those in the Land of Water who knew the truth hadn't held back in promoting the Shinigami of the Uzushigakure.
Although it wasn't positive promotion.
Thanks to them, the Uzushigakure had good recognition in the Land of Water, and they also contributed to the prestige value on the System Panel.
Chihiro asked curiously, "Why do you want to become a Shinigami?"
He truly couldn't understand why this future Fifth Mizukage would suddenly decide to become a Shinigami.
And he also knew that, under the deliberate propaganda of certain individuals, the image of the Shinigami of the Uzushigakure was not positive in the minds of most Land of Water citizens.
Mei Terumī's actions would likely be seen as treason by them.
However, they probably wouldn't care about a little girl.
Mei Terumī felt a momentary daze, and scenes of those monsters devouring the people of the Land of Water appeared in her mind.
Then she thought of the image of a Shinigami, clad in a shinigami uniform, purifying a Hollow with a single slash.
She clenched her small fists, her eyes resolute, and said, "Only by becoming a Shinigami can I drive those monsters called Hollows out of the Land of Water!"
Chihiro suddenly understood.
As expected of the future Fifth Mizukage, she already cared deeply for the Land of Water at such a young age.
It's just that in the original story, it was to fight against the Fourth Mizukage, who had turned the Kirigakure into the Village of the Bloody Mist and was controlled by Uchiha Obito's Mangekyo Sharingan.
Now, however, it was for the Hollows that brought calamity to the Land of Water.
But… er'㈨±Si 0⑷℃㈢◆〉㈤∪〓⒍④transit"△Qｕn:
Chihiro's eyes looked strange.
Hollows were also his Troop Types.
Expelling Hollows, wouldn't that be resisting him?
And she wanted to learn Shinigami water techniques from him to expel his subordinates?
Although this feeling was a bit subtle.
Chihiro had no intention of refusing Mei Terumī.
After all, she was a talent with a high probability of Captain-level potential, and he couldn't let her go.
Moreover, once she became a Shinigami, his mark would already be etched into her Soul.
Chihiro wasn't worried that Mei Terumī would turn against him if she ever learned the truth about the Hollows.
"In that case, then stay in the Uzushigakure."
Mei Terumī said in surprise, "Really?"
Chihiro smiled and nodded, then took out one of the few shinigami transfer scrolls.
Mei Terumī was a living person, not in a Soul state, so another shinigami transfer scroll had to be used.
He couldn't possibly ask Mei Terumī to commit suicide and gamble on that fifty percent chance, could he?
Mei Terumī dazedly took the shinigami transfer scroll, suddenly feeling a sense of unreality.
She had thought this journey to become a Shinigami would be very difficult.
But she hadn't expected this handsome older brother to be so accommodating.
He just listened to her simple reason, didn't doubt her intentions, and generously allowed her to become a Shinigami.
Didn't he ever consider if this might be a plot by other countries to steal the Uzushigakure' Shinigami power?
Mei Terumī gripped the shinigami transfer scroll tightly, her eyes filled with determination.
Absolutely, absolutely, must not betray this trust!
Chihiro was unaware of Mei Terumī's thoughts at this moment.
Waving his hand, he instructed Rukia to take her to an empty room for the transfer.
Although Mei Terumī didn't know why she had to go to an empty room just to write a name.
She still obediently followed.
A moment later, Mei Terumī walked out, her face flushed.
She now understood why they needed an empty room.
At the same time, her mind was buzzing, as if the door to a new world had been opened.
Chihiro routinely asked her if she wanted to go to the academy or join a squad.
Mei Terumī thought for a moment.
She wanted to gain fighting strength as quickly as possible and then fight Hollows, so she decisively abandoned the idea of going to the academy.
Then she remembered her father telling her previously to look for him in the Fourth Division, so she asked, "Can I join the Fourth Division?"
Chihiro nodded, then notified a member of the Fourth Division to come and take Mei Terumī back.
Whether by coincidence or intention, the person who came was none other than Terumī Teru.
Mei Terumī instinctively cried out, "Father!"
Terumī Teru awkwardly scratched his face and whispered, "I told you I'm not your father!"
He then bowed toward Chihiro and took his leave.
Chihiro looked thoughtful. So that's it, they are father and daughter.
However, people who become Souls after death forget their memories of their lives before coming to Rukongai.
Conversely, those who use the shinigami transfer scroll do not forget their memories.
It seemed the father and daughter would need a long time to recognize each other.
Before leaving the door, Mei Terumī secretly looked back at Chihiro one last time.
After they had walked far away, Mei Terumī whispered, "Father, what do you think about me marrying Lord Soul King as his wife someday?"
Terumī Teru stumbled in shock, his eyes filled with fear as he looked at Mei Terumī.
Are kids nowadays really this bold?
At the same time, immediately after sending Mei Terumī off, news suddenly arrived from the Technical Development Bureau.
"Did something happen in the Land of Lightning?"
Ever since Chihiro arranged for Aaroniero to go to the Land of Lightning, the situation there had been under surveillance by the Technical Development Bureau.
Chihiro hadn't planned on letting Aaroniero and the Land of Lightning fight to the death.
After all, Aaroniero's strength wasn't sufficient for that, and Aaroniero also had a fatal weakness.
That was his glass jar head.
