With anxiety gnawing at her, Terumi Mei was escorted from the prison camp to the main camp by the Konoha Shinobi.
She was well aware that the girl she had seen before, someone of her age, seemed to have an unusual relationship with Hatake Tatsuya, the monster who had alone killed the Mizukage and Seven Ninja swordsmen of Mist. Remembering this, she couldn't help but wonder if recalling the past was a form of self-inflicted torture.
"Here, please come in!" Might Guy, taking charge of leading the way with his characteristic energetic youth, walked to the entrance of Tatsuya's tent. He stopped, making a "please" gesture toward the tent curtain, indicating that Terumi Mei could enter.
The fear of death had made Terumi Mei momentarily disregard this Bushy brow weirdo in green tights. Swallowing her saliva, she endured the tingling fear and walked into the camp.
"Oh, so big!" She hadn't seen what was going on in the camp. A familiar exclamation reached her ears. Turning, she saw the girl she had helped Ringo to kidnap in the previous battle staring at her with wide-open eyes filled with surprise and envy.
Following her gaze, Terumi Mei lowered her head slightly. For some inexplicable reason, a newfound confidence emerged, and she flaunted her impressive B-cup size. It had almost reached the average level for adult women, and Terumi Mei was confident about the immeasurable future possibilities. Women who looked down and couldn't see their feet were stunning, and she was still very confident about this.
"You're 'Rin,' right? My name is Terumi Mei, so please save me." Terumi Mei quickly scanned the surroundings but didn't spot the figure that had scared her. Leaning towards Rin, she greeted her actively.
"Uh... hello," Rin responded unskillfully, struggling to adapt to Terumi Mei's familiar behavior.
"Hey, Rin, do you want me to teach you?" Terumi Mei glanced at Rin, who seemed flat and whispered in her ear. Rin's face suddenly flushed with embarrassment.
Terumi Mei certainly had her thoughts. When that monster is not around, establishing a good relationship with Rin might be a strategy to avoid the fate that befalls the enemy or spy Kunoichis especially if they possess a unique bloodline limit.
"Really?" Rin resisted the embarrassment, looking at Terumi Mei's reason for confidence again, and almost displaying the word "envy" on her face.
"Don't worry, I will teach you; just wait a moment; you have to save me first~" Terumi Mei hugged Rin's shoulders, and the orange atmosphere filled with warmth.
Three minutes later,
"It's not enough just to eat and drink; you need to combine regular exercises like this," Terumi Mei said as she began to demonstrate for Rin herself. Despite Rin's face already being red and hot enough to boil water. However, after being stimulated by Mei's presence, she temporarily let go of her shame and started to note down the tips.
"What are you two doing?" Tatsuya's voice rang suddenly.
In a second the duo lost their souls. Seeing that the two girls were so scared that they fell to the ground. As soon as I came back, I saw two bratty girls... Not to mention, when did your relationship become so good? Did you forget this was the girl who attacked you?
The curtain of the tent cannot be locked, so are you not afraid of being seen? Tatsuya almost thought he had died and transmigrated again, traveling to a certain isekai world.
"No, it's not that! Master Tatsuya, I, we just, just—"
Rin's eyes were watering quickly, trying to explain, but the truth was just as difficult to tell. Saying what they were doing was a social death!
"Forget it; anyway, this also shows that you seem to get along well." Tatsuya sat down and looked straight at Terumi Mei. Although her personality is a lot more open-minded than Rin's, she is still the 12-year-old girl in the final analysis. Terumi Mei blushed when she was seen by a man and bowed in fear and shame head silently.
"You girls are getting along huh?" Tatsuya spoke again. This made the two girls raise their heads again. Although the duo didn't know why Tatsuya asked this question, they nodded subconsciously.
Although Terumi Mei approached Rin with a purpose in the beginning, after chatting for a while, she was also attracted by her pure and innocent personality and couldn't help but want to establish a friendly relationship with her. This is why Obito is willing to destroy and create a world for Rin.
Rin took the initiative to intervene. "Master Tatsuya, please don't do anything to Mei. She hurt me before because we were in a different position."
"What's the hurry? I didn't want to kill her." Tatsuya cocked his fingers and said, "Terumi Mei, you will follow me back to Konoha in the future, and you will form a team with Rin. From now on you shall protect Rin."
The two girls fell to the ground again as soon as these words came out. "Then, excuse me, are you poaching me from the mist?" Terumi Mei has no idea why Tatsuya did this.
"You can understand it any way you want. It's too much trouble to explain. After all, I can't go to the bathroom with that girl." Tatsuya was too lazy to explain that Uchiha Madara and Black Zetsu might try to kidnap Rin again, and it was useless to say it. Just let these girls guess for themselves.
The reason for this arrangement is equivalent to assigning Terumi Mei as Rin's bodyguard during this war period.
Tatsuya couldn't realistically keep Rin constantly by his side. While Terumi Mei's current strength may not be sufficient, in the event of a sudden situation, she can serve as an alarm bell.
Bringing up the toilet matter again, Rin just wanted to find a hole to jump into.
"Minato, Kakashi, and Obito to save the life of this girl I have worked very hard. I will let you pay back this favor in the future."
Tatsuya curled his mouth, stroked Mei's head with one hand, and couldn't help but feel, "This is so troublesome!"
"I will too pay this debt in the future," Rin muttered quietly in her heart.
