Sunny and cheerful Konoha Genin

"hey-hey……"

Facing Toru Ito's puzzled gaze, Mei Terumi did not show any weakness. Instead, she smiled with a strange smell.

"Hello, little brother. Is that your sister next to you?"

As she spoke, she blinked and leaned closer to Ito Toru without leaving a trace.

I have to say that Mei Terumi’s eyes are indeed beautiful, and she is also a little beauty in appearance, but she has successfully interpreted a feeling that is... difficult to describe with her unique temperament.

Hey, hey, hey…what’s this strange feeling?

The corners of Ito Toru's mouth twitched slightly. The ramen in front of him no longer tasted good, and his stomach churned slightly.

I feel like I'm a beautifully dressed young girl being approached by a shirtless, fat-faced uncle...

And Qing, who was next to Mei Terumi, no longer dared to face it and turned his head away silently.

Please forgive me, Mizukage-sama!

He prayed silently in his heart: I have tried my best!

As for the young Konoha ninja opposite him, he could only express his deep sympathy.

"Ok?"

Karin, who was concentrating on eating noodles, had a strange feeling of being a woman. She immediately gave up eating and turned her head to look over here!

"She's not my sister, she's my friend."

Ito Toru's answer made Karin smile in her heart.

"hey-hey……"

She lowered her head again and concentrated on eating her noodles, and suddenly she was full of confidence in Toru Ito.

My brother Ito would never be attracted to a woman like you!

"Hey, you're a friend."

When Mei Terumi heard Ito Toru's answer, her heart skipped a beat, but soon, a stronger desire to conquer her arose: "Then, can I be your friend?"

"I haven't had the chance to introduce myself yet. My name is Mei Terumi, and the one next to me is Ao, my childhood friend. I've always treated him like an older brother. We're from the Hidden Mist Village, and we're going to take part in the Chunin Exam tomorrow."

"If you are free, you can come to the examination room to see how I am doing. Well, as a friend, you will also take the exam. I will take good care of her."

As Mei Terumi spoke, she glanced at Karin provocatively. When she found that she didn't respond, she suddenly felt a little upset.

However, Qing was even more frustrated than her. Before he could stop her, Mei Terumi had already revealed all the information she had!

"..."

Qing could only turn his grief and anger into appetite and drank the soup in big gulps, forming a subtle symmetry with Karin who was concentrating on eating noodles on the other side.

"My name is Ito Toru and she is Karin."

Out of politeness, Ito Tetsuya introduced himself with a smile: "I am a ninja from Konoha, and I will also take the exam tomorrow."

Although Mei Terumi acted quite presumptuous, Toru Ito immediately understood after hearing her name.

So you are the older single female Mizukage...

With this kind of pick-up technique that makes people's eyes go dark, it's no wonder you have been single for so long!

Who did you learn this from?

At the same time, Toru Ito also paid more attention to Qing who was concentrating on eating noodles beside her.

He did not forget that this guy later turned one of his eyes into a white eye!

Qing still has both of his original eyes.

In other words... the battle to seize the Byakugan hasn't happened yet?

Toru Ito silently wrote down this information.

Maybe it will be useful later.

It's such a waste to give that precious eye roll to this guy.

At the subsequent Five Kage Summit, if Yamanaka Feng had not been thinking about retrieving a Byakugan for Danzo, he would have probably been killed alone!

"Ah~ That's such a coincidence."

When she heard that Toru Ito was also going to take part in the Chunin Exam, Mei Terumi suddenly became excited.

"You know what? I heard that this year's Chunin Exam will be a one-on-one match. Only the winner can enter the next round. There are about 200 people participating, but there are only 32 places for promotion to Chunin."

"That's it..."

Ito Toru nodded thoughtfully.

Did she even know the rules? It seems that Mei Terumi's status in the Hidden Mist Village is already very high...

"Cough cough!"

Qing next to her finally couldn't help coughing twice, signaling Terumi Mei not to reveal any more information.

"If you have a sore throat, go outside and cough. Don't disturb everyone here."

Mei Terumi glared at Ao, then turned around and faced Ito Toru with a cute and slightly greasy smile: "How are your strengths, little brother? Do you want me to help you improve your strength? My ninjutsu is pretty good too."

As she spoke, she tried to reach out and hold Ito Toru's hand as if nothing had happened: "Come, let me check the quality of your chakra."

Ito Toru retracted his hand, leaving her empty-handed.

"That's totally unnecessary. Your ramen will get cold if you don't eat it now."

"Ah, that's true."

Mei Terumi was not embarrassed after her attack failed. Instead, the light in her eyes became even hotter.

This is a principled little brother! He is really different from those people outside!

That's what it feels like!

This is true love!

In the past, Mei Terumi, who lived in the Hidden Mist Village, had pursued boys of the same age, but they always agreed easily, which made her feel bored. So almost at the same time as they agreed, she got tired of them and left decisively.

And now, Ito Toru's rejection made Terumi Mei feel an even stronger desire to conquer!

This boy has to agree!

"Ito, I'm full..."

Karin touched her belly and said in a contented tone as if she was acting coquettish.

"That's good, let's pay the bill, boss."

Toru Ito touched Karin's head lovingly, then wanted to pay the bill and leave.

When she heard that Toru Ito was leaving, Mei Terumi suddenly became anxious.

"Hey~ How can I let you pay? Boss, I'll pay for all of them!"

She shouted loudly, looking very proud.

? !

Qing next to him was also anxious. Mei Terumi sounded generous, but she would definitely have to lend him money when the time came!

It would have been fine if it was just two bowls of noodles, but the girl named Karin ate more than ten bowls!

This must be over a thousand taels!

You can’t create mountains of gold and silver like this!

I finally completed a few B-level tasks last time and saved up some money. Am I going to bleed a lot of money now?

"This won't work, Terumi."

Ito Toru definitely couldn't let Mei Terumi pay, otherwise the matter would be over, so he explained: "We just met, if possible, you can treat us to a meal next time."

When Mei Terumi heard that there would be a chance to have dinner together next time, her eyes lit up and she immediately forgot everything.

"Okay! It's a deal then!"

Toru Ito and Karin paid the bill and left. Qing felt relieved and his liking for Toru Ito increased a lot.

"This guy is unexpectedly a good person."

He sighed.

"Right? I've always had good taste!"

Mei Terumi finished the noodles in just a few bites and licked her lips with satisfaction. Her emerald green eyes seemed to emit the light of a predator.

After Toru Ito and Karin walked out of Ichiraku Ramen, they took a walk outside to digest their food.

"Brother Ito, that girl just now..."

Karin asked with some concern: "What do you think of her?"

After she finished eating, she secretly used Kagura's mind's eye to sense Mei Terumi, and then discovered that there were two different types of chakras in her body!

Is a very powerful person!

Faced with such a Mei Terumi, Karin suddenly felt pressured and wanted to ask Toru Ito for his opinion.

"I'm just a strange ninja I just met. He's a little silly."

Ito Toru didn't know what Karin was thinking. He thought she was a little nervous about fighting such an opponent tomorrow, so he smiled and replied, "You don't have to worry too much. She should be one of the stronger ones in the Hidden Mist Village. We will never meet someone like her. Besides, we can just surrender!"

"After all, we are not the main actors in this Chunin Exam."

"Oh……"

Karin nodded as if she understood, but soon became happy again!

It seems that Brother Ito really doesn't have any further thoughts about that girl!

Happy!

It was now completely dark, and the two walked along the street for an unknown amount of time.

Karin felt very happy.

She had never felt as safe and peaceful as she did now in her life.

“It would be nice if there were more days like this.”

Karin couldn't help but say, "Such a peaceful and carefree life..."

“…That day will come.”

After a moment of silence, Ito Toru smiled.

"Eh? Could Ito-brother also have such naive thoughts?" Karin tilted her head and looked at him.

“Hahahaha…it’s not a naive idea.”

Ito Toru looked up at the full moon in the sky: "The night will pass, and the sun will rise."

As long as I can survive long enough, I can wait for the protagonist to save the world!

His determination became stronger.

"Oh……"

Karin seemed to understand, but she felt that Brother Ito was handsome in a different way!
