Konoha's Ninja Successor

"Click~"

Opening the door to Mizukage's office, Shimura Teru slowly walked in.

Terumi Mei, who was dealing with official documents, raised his head slightly with tired dark circles under his eyes, his eyes full of exhaustion.Apparently Terumi Mei has been under a lot of pressure from work recently, so she probably doesn't get enough sleep.

Beside the table, Chojuro was lying there fast asleep. He had obviously accompanied Terumi Mei until he couldn't stand it any longer. He had indeed fulfilled his duty as a guard faithfully.

The only one who was still in good spirits was Qing. He stood tall and tall behind Terumi Mei, with no trace of fatigue on his face. He was obviously a night owl who was used to staying up late. No wonder his right eye turned white.

Terumi Mei originally thought that a ninja team came back to report on the mission. When she looked up and found that it was Shimura Teru, Terumi Mei's tired and dull eyes regained their energy.

"Yasuo! You're back." Terumi Mei quickly tidied her messy hair and said with a smile.

"Well, I'm back." Shimura Teru nodded.

"Just come back, come to me if you need anything?" Terumi Mei looked at Shimura Teru who was hesitant to speak and said with a smile.

Terumi Mei felt that Shimura Teru's state was a bit strange, but she didn't ask any more questions. After all, she felt much better after seeing Shimura Teru come back.

"It's okay. When I come back, I will definitely come over and let you know about Mizukage."

In the end, Teru Shimura hesitated and did not tell him about leaving the village. After all, he had stayed here for a year, and he was still a little reluctant to part with some people and things in Kirigakure Village. Furthermore, Teru Shimura didn't want to go. Deceiving Terumi Mei.

Shimura Teru decided to wait until the last day to say goodbye to Mei Terumi, hoping that he would be mentally prepared during this period.

Terumi Mei was very keen to realize that Shimura Teru must have something to say to her, but he didn't say it in the end. She was also a little curious. This was the first time she saw Shimura Teru so hesitant in a year of getting along.

"Okay, I won't disturb your work. I'm leaving first." After being speechless for a long time, Shimura Teru turned around and prepared to leave.

"Wait..." Terumi Mei looked at Shimura Teru who was about to leave after saying hello, and quickly stood up to try to persuade him to stay.

However, the intense paperwork made him too tired. In addition, Terumi Mei felt dizzy instantly after standing up so suddenly. His body became shaky and he was about to fall.

"Mizukage-sama!" Ao panicked and tried to hold Terumi Mei, who was about to fall.

"Whoosh!"

Shimura Teru's figure flashed away and appeared next to Terumi Mei in an instant. His left hand slightly touched Terumi Mei's slender waist, stabilizing Terumi Mei's tendency to fall.

"You work so uncontrollably, even if you are a Mizukage, you need to rest properly." Shimura Teru looked at the tired Terumi Mei and said distressedly.

After Terumi Teru stabilized Terumi Mei's body, he took back his left hand that was hugging Terumi Mei's waist. He reached out and pinched Terumi Mei's shoulder and neck. He felt the obvious stiffness. He frowned and pressed his hand to soothe Terumi Mei's stiff shoulder.During the pressing process, green chakra appeared on the hand, restoring the normal blood flow rate in Terumi Mei's body.

"Ah~"

Terumi Mei couldn't help but gasp. Shimura Teru's massage technique was so comfortable that she couldn't help but subconsciously make strange sounds.

Shimura Teru concentrated on relieving the stiffness in Terumi Mei's neck and shoulders, and did not notice anything wrong for a while. After doing all this, Shimura Teru dispersed the medical ninjutsu on his left hand.

When Shimura Teru came back to his senses, he found that Chojuro, who had been dozing next to him, had woken up at some point and was looking at him with an extremely frightened expression and dull eyes.

The "History of Kirigakure" in Ao's hand behind Terumi Mei also fell to the ground at some point. Seeing Shimura Teru look over, Ao then moved his eyes upward, stared at the ceiling and muttered: "Don't be rude." Look, don’t listen to anything inappropriate!”

Zabuza and his party, who led Kimimaro, Minazuki Haku and Kito Suigetsu at the gate, also looked at Terumi Mei and Shimura Teru with strange expressions, as if these two people had some adultery.

Terumi Mei adjusted her somewhat loose clothes with a blushing face. This action made Shimura Teru, who was standing still, even more suspicious.

"Ahem! Don't get me wrong, I'm helping Mr. Mizukage relieve his stiff shoulders, otherwise it would be easy to get the disease." Shimura Teru coughed and explained after seeing their misunderstanding.

"What Lord Yasuo said is absolutely true. I, Qing, firmly believe in you." Qing was the first to express his attitude. If he hadn't seen the flash of lewd expression on Qing's face before, Shimura Teru almost believed it.

"Ah! So that's it. Yasuo-sama is really concerned about Mizukage-sama's health!" Chojuro immediately believed Shimura Teru's words, scratched his head in embarrassment and smiled.

But Chojuro's innocent words made the atmosphere even more awkward.

Terumi Mei blushed and glanced at Shimura Teru, who had an expression of hopelessness, and raised the corners of her mouth slightly. Then she quickly returned to the majestic expression of the Mizukage, looked at Zabuza and others who were coming, and said: "Okay, Zabuza, are you okay?"

After Terumi Mei opened his mouth to save the situation, Shimura Teru breathed a sigh of relief. The atmosphere was even more uncomfortable for him than when he faced Kyuubi alone.

"The Godaime, the list of qualified genin for this ninja school examination has been compiled and recorded here. As you asked, I brought the top three children here." Zabuza respectfully handed over a list booklet .

Submitting the manual is actually not the turn of an ordinary teacher like Zabuza. It is usually delivered by the head of the ninja school. However, the person in charge happens to be Shimura Teru, and Shimura Teru has left the village in the past few days, so This job fell on Zabuza.

"Well, thank you for your hard work." Terumi Mei smiled and nodded to Zabuza. He took the roster with both hands and opened it. The first name that caught his eye was Kaguya Kimimaro. His score ranked first in the genin assessment.

"Kaguya Kimimaro, Minazuki Shiro, and Kito Suigetsu, the three of you have the best grades among the genin. As I promised in the ninja school at the beginning of the year, I, the fifth Mizukage, will personally distribute ninja protection to you. Um, and I will grant you a little wish." Terumi Mei said with a sweet smile.

Minazuki Shiro bowed politely, while Kaguya Kimimaro was still licking the colorful lollipop in his hand with an indifferent expression.

After hearing Terumi Mei's promise, Kito Suigetsu's eyes lit up and he rushed directly in front of Terumi Mei, grinning and said: "Aunt Mizukage, you can fulfill your wish, but you are not allowed to go back on it! My wish is to become a ninja sword There are seven of you, just give me any of the Seven Ninja Swords."

Aunt? !

Terumi Mei's expression darkened, her body trembled slightly with anger, and a strong murderous aura gathered.

Chojuro and Ao both looked at Kito Suigetsu with pitiful eyes, and said to themselves: Boy, you are gone.

Just when Kiden Suigetsu was immersed in the dream that he was about to obtain the legendary ninja sword, he suddenly felt a chill on his neck, and a creepy murderous aura surged towards him.

Onito Suigetsu quickly raised his head and looked at Terumi Mei with vigilance. The veins on Terumi Mei's face were swollen at this time. He kept a scary smile and said: "Ah~ What a bad-mouthed little boy. Don't worry, your sister will give you something before you die." A melting kiss goodbye. Melting, literally.”

Kito Suigetsu looked at Terumi Mei's face that was gradually changing, and the cold sweat on his back almost formed a river...
