The Land of Water, Kirigakure.
Mei stood at the highest point of Kirigakure, looking into the distance.
That is the direction of Konoha.
Suddenly, a figure landed behind Mei and said respectfully.
"Mizukage-sama, there is news from Konoha that the Anbu Commander, Hatake Kakashi has left Konoha temporarily and disappears."
Mei's eyebrows moved slightly, and then she said, "Oh? Even the Godaime Hokage doesn't know where he is going?"
"Yes, it is said that nobody knew about Hatake Kakashi's actions this time, and as soon as he left Konoha, his trace disappeared completely, presumably he left using the Hiraishin no Jutsu (Flying Thunder God Technique)." Ao said.
"Really? I understand. Is there anything else?" Mei asked.
"Mizukage-sama, Momochi Zabuza has been promoted to Anbu Captain in Anbu. He has proved his Ability. Should we place him at the long-vacant Anbu Commander's position?"
"This matter will be discussed some time later. After all, it hasn't been long since Zabuza returned to Kirigakure. The Anbu Commander's position is more important than Anbu Captain. Even if I don't worry about it, other people won't be relieved," Mei said.
"Yes! Mizukage-sama."
"By the way, how is the boy named Chōjūrō after he took the Hiramekarei?" Mei asked.
"Chōjūrō's talent is good, but his personality is very flawed, he is too introverted, but his strength is acceptable." Ao replied.
"In that case, transfer him to Zabuza's team and sharpen his character."
"I understand!"
"Is the orphaned boy of the Yuki Clan, Haku still following Zabuza?"
"Yes, Mizukage-sama, Haku has a strong bond with Zabuza. It is probably not easy to separate them."
"In that case, you don't have to do anything as long as the Yuki Clan's Kekkei Genkai is still in the Kirigakure. Right, have you found that Hōzuki Suigetsu?" Mei turned around and asked.
"Not yet, according to our information, it seems that it he has been taken away by Orochimaru. And Orochimaru's whereabouts are uncertain, and also his strength is powerful, so it is not worthwhile to offend Orochimaru for that Hōzuki Suigetsu," said Ao.
"Okay, then we should let this matter go for the time being. Has the Academy in the village completed with reference to Konoha's?"
"Everything is ready, it's already in the implementation phase."
"That's good, after all this is done, we can be relaxed for a while." Mei said with a smile.
Since taking over the Godaime Mizukage's position, Mei has been under great pressure.
After all, the Yondaime Mizukage has left a lot of mess, and it is not an easy task to fix it.
However, after several years of hard work, it can be said that Kirigakure is almost back to normal again.
"It's all thanks to Mizukage-sama's wise leadership." Ao said respectfully.
"Well, Ao, you are too serious, you should laugh more occasionally." Mei said jokingly.
"This... I am afraid it is very difficult to do it," said Ao.
"You are really boring. Okay, you can go back, I will stay here for a while."
"Mizukage-sama, I am afraid that is not appropriate."
"Don't worry, this is Kirigakure, and I am the Mizukage. Do you think I will be in danger here?" Mei said helplessly.
Ao thought for a while, and felt that what Mei said was reasonable, so he gave up the idea of asking Mei to go back.
"Then, this subordinate will retire first."
"Yeah, just go."
Seeing Ao finally left, Mei said with a grin, "This Ao is really getting more and more wordy!"
"Haha, Ao is doing all of that for you. After you became the Mizukage, he was very busy and no one knows how much he did for you."
A familiar voice rang in Mei's ears, and Mei was stunned.
Immediately, Mei feels a warm embrace on her back.
"Mei, long time no see."
The gentle voice rang in Mei's ear, with a unique pampering tone.
Mei turned around excitedly and hugged the man in front of her.
"Kakashi, you bastard! It took you so long to come to meet me!"
The corners of Mei's eyes are slightly moist, and her small fist tapped Kakashi's chest lightly, with surprise and anger on her face.
"Sorry."
Apart from apologizing, Kakashi had no other words to speak at this time.
He really owes Mei too much.
At this time, he had too many concerns and could not be together with Mei.
As if feeling the guilt in Kakashi's heart, Mei also stopped complaining.
Hugging Kakashi, Mei leaned her head on Kakashi's chest and said, "I know you have a lot of concerns right now. I'm already very happy that you can come to meet me."
"Thank you," Kakashi said distressedly.
This is not what a girl would have said.
But for Mei to say this to him, Kakashi is feeling a little bit distressed.
"Fool, why should you say thank you?" Mei said with a smile.
Her smile is very sweet, which makes people feel sweet in their heart when they saw it.
After a long absence, Mei felt that she seemed to love the man in front of her even more.
There is such a girl who likes him this much, so what else can Kakashi ask for?
What Kakashi can do at this time is to hug Mei tightly.
After a long time, the two finally finished their hug and changed places.
On a boulder above the cliff, the two cuddled together.
Mei leaned on Kakashi's shoulder and said, "Kakashi, I heard that you left Konoha temporarily, where are you going?"
Kakashi's arm stiffened slightly and he said, "I'm going to a certain place."
Mei frowned and raised her head. She looked directly into Kakashi's eyes, and then said: "Is it dangerous?"
Kakashi smiled bitterly, 'Hah, it seems that I can't hide anything to Mei.'
'As expected, I am not a person who is good at lying to Mei.'
Looking at Kakashi's expression, Mei has already got the answer.
"Do you really have to go?" Mei said, biting her lip.
Kakashi nodded and said: "Yeah, I must go."
"I will accompany you!" Mei said determinedly.
"No, you still have Kirigakure, you are the Mizukage of this village, so how can you leave. Don't make trouble." Kakashi refused.
"But..."
"Hey, I promise you, I will definitely come back."
Kakashi fondly touched Mei's hair, and said softly: "You have your responsibility and I have my responsibility. Don't give up these responsibilities lightly."
"Then you must come back!"
"Sure, I swear." Kakashi said with a smile.
"How long?"
"Up to three years."
Mei was feeling a little bit reluctant. Didn't that mean she wouldn't be able to see each other for three years? How cruel it is.
Mei could not help but feel a pain in her heart when she heard this.
Immediately, as if a certain determination was made, Mei rushed towards Kakashi and kissed Kakashi's thin lips.
Kakashi was taken aback, and then immediately hugged Mei tightly.
After a long time, the lips parted, and there was an inexplicable sense of feeling between the two.
Mei's face was slightly red, and she whispered in Kakashi's ear: "Kakashi, shall we change the place?"
Kakashi looked at the blush on Mei's face and understand what she meant.
A beautiful lady's invitation, naturally, can't be refused.
Grabbing Mei's hand, Kakashi immediately used Hiraishin no Jutsu (Flying Thunder God Technique) and disappeared from that place.
In a hotel somewhere in the Land of Craftsmen, Kakashi and Mei suddenly appeared.
The two kissed each other, and then continue to the next step.
The young bodies collided with each other, accompanied by bursts of high-pitched screams.
There was no word for the night, only the emotional men and women are in harmony, and then they fell asleep...
