The Land of Water, Kirigakure.
Mei stood on the cliff, quietly looking at the village covered in the thick mist.
The thick morning mist shrouded the village, making it a little unreal.
"It's almost ten years," Mei murmured.
Ten years is not only the time she is becoming the Mizukage, but also the time she is waiting for Kakashi.
"Ten years, I didn't expect time would move so fast." Mei sighed faintly.
She now understands why Kakashi said to wait for him for ten years in the first place.
There have been too many things happening in these ten years.
No one could have imagined that the Fourth Shinobi World War would start in such way and end in such way.
"It's been ten years, did that bastard Kakashi still want to marry me or not? After the Fourth Shinobi World War, he hasn't even seen me once!"
Mei got angrier the more she thought about it.
As she got older, she became more and more sensitive to things like marriage.
During the ten years when a woman's youth was the most precious, Mei was waiting for Kakashi.
This kind of affection is absolutely impossible to describe in ordinary words.
In the past ten years, they have only met for few times, and only accompanied by lovesickness.
When Mei was complaining, a figure suddenly appeared behind her.
The white robe fluttered in the wind.
Kakashi scratched his head a little embarrassedly when he saw this. He did not expect that after using Hiraishin no Jutsu (Flying Thunder God Technique) to come over, he would hear such complaints.
The familiar smell got into Mei's nose. She was stunned for a moment, and then turned around.
The familiar face made Mei very happy.
But then she coldly snorted, turn her head away, and said, "Hmph! You still know about coming here?"
"That, Mei, I'm sorry, there are a lot of things going on recently. As you know, the Shinobi World War has just ended, and I just became the Hokage. There are a lot of things to do. So..."
"I don't want to listen to your reasons!" Mei said overbearingly with her arms crossed.
Seeing that Mei was a little angry, Kakashi didn't know what to say for a while.
As a normal man, it is really difficult for him to deal with such a situation.
The place fell silent for a while.
Mei was even more angry when she saw this.
'What, you haven't come to look for me for so long, and now you come here, you didn't speak. It's too much!'
"Hokage-dono, can you tell me what do you want? If there is nothing, I will leave now."
Mei said lightly, and then turned and leaves.
But in fact, she was saying in her heart: 'Hurry up and stop me.'
Finally, under Mei's inner call, Kakashi spoke.
"That, do you want to have breakfast together?"
Mei was speechless when she heard this. 'Is it time to say this?'
But after thinking about it, Mei still said, "Hmph, okay. I happen to be hungry too."
Kakashi smiled, stretched out his right hand, slightly took Mei's hand, and then whispered in her ear, "Let's go then. To my house and eat. I have gotten it ready."
The hot air exhaled from Kakashi's mouth gently touched Mei's ear, and in an instant, Mei's cheeks were stained with a slight blush.
Before Mei could react, there was a wave of space fluctuations, and the two disappeared from the cliff.
And when the two disappeared, Ao had just arrived to look for Mei.
"That is... Kakashi?" Ao said with surprise.
"Where did he take Mizukage-sama to! It's too much!" Ao said angrily.
But after thinking about it, Ao seems to understand something. In the end, he can only sigh and turned away.
'I am afraid that the Mizukage of our Kirigakure will soon be changed.'
Kakashi's house.
The snow covered the roof.
The cherry blossoms in the garden are still in full bloom.
In the living room, Kakashi and Mei appeared quietly.
The dinner table was filled with all kinds of breakfasts, all made by Kakashi early in the morning.
"Mei, I made all of these for you, all the things you like." Kakashi said with a smile.
Mei looked at the breakfasts at that table, her heart moved slightly.
"Hmph, then I'll have a taste."
Although good cooking skills may not make a girl like you, it can definitely increase a girl's affection towards you.
If the girl likes you in the first place, then good cooking will make her want to marry you on the spot.
At this time, Mei felt that it would be nice to have such a perfect breakfast everyday in the future.
"Mei, I know that in these years, I have been unfair to you, so I specially took a day off. Today, we can have a good date." Kakashi said with a smile.
"Hmph, that's good."
Mei said with satisfaction after eating the homemade sandwich on the table.
Kakashi put his right hand on Mei's cheek, touched it lightly, and wiped the stain from the corner of her mouth.
Originally, Kakashi wanted to rub Mei's hair, but thinking that girls didn't seem to like it, he changed direction abruptly.
Mei was very happy with Kakashi's doting.
On this day, they looked at the beautiful scenery on the mountains of the Land of Earth, watched dolphins dance on the sea of the Land of Water, admired the magnificent scenery of clouds and thunder on the cliffs of the Land of Thunder, and watched mirages in the desert of the Land of Winds.
Finally, they went to the vast forest of the Land of Fire.
The day passed quickly.
The sun sets and all that remains is the crescent moon.
The crescent moon hangs high in the sky, and there are two figures under the moon.
At the Hokage Rock, Kakashi and Mei sat on the ground, watching Konoha's prosperity from a distance.
Mei snuggled in Kakashi's arms, and her face is full of smiles.
They've never dated like this.
She can reach whatever scenery she wanted to see in an instant, and she can eat whatever she wanted to eat easily.
It's as if she can get anything she wanted.
And these are the gifts given to him by the man in front of her.
"Mei, do you like it here?" Kakashi said softly.
Mei gently nodded and said, "I like it very much. Compared to Kirigakure, Konoha seems more peaceful."
"Then are you willing to wake up in a place like this every day, and the first person you see is me?"
Mei was stunned when she heard these words, and looked at Kakashi blankly.
'This sentence is...'
At this moment, there was a loud sound from the distance.
The gorgeous fireworks flickered in the moonlight, and the sky seemed to be shining like the day again.
At that moment, it seemed as if there were only two people in this world.
The light of the fireworks shone on the faces of the two.
"Mei, will you marry me?"
After the ten-years promise ended, Kakashi finally said the words that should have been said long ago.
And Mei has waited for this sentence for too long.
When this moment came, Mei felt like she was dreaming.
Tears welled up in an instant, filling her eyes, but they did not flow down.
Under the moonlight and fireworks, she gently spoke the word she had prepared for many years.
"Yes."
