Matatabi looked at the man in front of him who had punched him a hundred meters away, eyes filled with horror.
That blow just now...
Even with its physical resilience, it had been battered to pieces.
This human being in front of it,
How could he have so much strength?
Isn't it a bit too fierce?
"Who are you?" Matatabi said solemnly.
"The Hokage of Konoha, Takuya," the man said calmly.
"You... you... you're Takuya?!"
Hearing Takuya's words, Matatabi opened its mouth wide and began to panic.
Recently, it had been hearing a lot about Takuya's deeds.
With his own strength, he killed the Tsuchikage, Kazekage, Mizukage, and Raikage, leading Konoha to defeat the ninja coalition.
He even possessed the Mangekyō Sharingan and had awakened the Wood Style Kekkei Genkai.
Such a terrifying person...
It's not something it could provoke.
"Um... Hokage-sama, you were so rude just now," Matatabi said, laying down on the ground submissively before retreating into the body of Yugito.
Seeing this scene, Mei's mouth fell open.
In her impression, tailed beasts were fierce and independent beings.
But in front of this man,
Why was it so well-behaved?
And,
Is he the legendary Fourth Hokage, Takuya?
There's something wrong with my perception!
Mei stared at Takuya's face and couldn't help but become infatuated again.
Being able to come into contact with such a man, her trip to Konoha was really not in vain.
"Hokage-sama."
Yugito, having regained her human form, looked at Takuya and bowed respectfully.
"Come here, what's your name?" Takuya asked knowingly.
"Yugito," she replied nervously.
"Tell me what happened," Takuya said calmly.
He had been working at the Hokage Building when he suddenly felt the tailed beast's chakra and rushed over immediately.
Yugito didn't dare to hide anything and explained everything clearly.
After listening, Takuya nodded.
"Even if the sparring was something both of you agreed on, releasing the tailed beast in the village is still a bit too much."
"As punishment, I will accept Matatabi."
After Takuya finished speaking, he put his hand on Yugito's stomach.
Although he wasn't in a hurry to collect tailed beasts now, he wouldn't refuse such offers.
"Hokage-sama, this is our Tailed Beast of the Hidden Cloud Village!" Yugito exclaimed.
She wanted to escape but found her body was already out of control.
"If you have any objections, let the Raikage come to me," Takuya snorted.
Immediately, he pulled Matatabi out of Yugito's body and sealed it into his own.
"What... what's going on?"
"I'm not dead?" Yugito said with some disbelief.
Jinchūriki losing their tailed beast usually had no choice but to die.
This is a fact recognized by all the ninja world.
Why,
Could she survive after losing her tailed beast?
Could it be,
Is it because of the Hokage?
Looking at Takuya in front of her, Yugito could only think of this possibility.
"Remember, don't cause trouble in Konoha in the future."
"Understood, Hokage-sama," Yugito bowed her head respectfully.
In front of this man who had overturned the entire ninja world, she decisively chose to follow her heart.
"Alright. You may go," Takuya waved his hand.
"Yes," Yugito did not hesitate, immediately turned around, and ran away.
Although she lost Matatabi, the Hokage did not anger the Hidden Cloud Village because of it, which was already the best result.
So handsome!
She, Mei, had finally found the man she had longed for!
After seeing Takuya conquering Matatabi easily, Mei couldn't help but shout in her heart.
Strength and appearance coexisting.
Isn't this the Mr. Right she's been looking for?
Thinking of this, Mei bravely walked up to Takuya.
"Um... Hokage-sama, when did you arrive?" she asked.
"The moment when the power of the tailed beast was unleashed by Yugito," Takuya said calmly.
"Have you seen the battle just now?" Mei asked in surprise.
"That's right."
"What's wrong?" Takuya answered casually, looking at the young but already strikingly attractive Mei.
"Then what do you think of my performance just now?" Mei asked expectantly.
Although she almost died just now, she was already quite skilled compared to her peers.
If she could leave a good impression in Takuya's heart, then maybe she would become Takuya's family in the future.
Mei thought happily in her heart.
The moment she saw Takuya's face, Mei had already thought of the name of their child.
"Although your strength is very good among your peers," Takuya said casually. "However, I only have one evaluation: you still need to practice. After all... this is Konoha."
"...Oh." Mei was a little disappointed at his response.
Originally,
She thought she would be praised.
"But, Hokage-sama, thank you very much for what happened today."
"I'll treat you to dinner," Mei spoke again.
"Alright," Takuya thought about it and agreed.
Anyway, Mei would be included in his future plans, so it would be good to cultivate a relationship now.
"Very good!" Seeing Takuya agree, Mei shouted excitedly.
Immediately,
They went to a newly opened ramen shop - Raku Ramen.
"Hokage-sama, I didn't expect you to be so approachable," Mei said with a smile while eating ramen.
Through recent interactions, she discovered that Takuya was exactly the type of warm man she liked.
His smile was particularly gentle.
His speech and behavior weren't as cold as other strong men.
He was just like a big brother next door.
"If anything happens in the future, please come to me," Takuya said, smiling lightly.
"Really? Hokage-sama, I just have one question," Mei said immediately.
"What is it?" Takuya asked.
"I haven't found a place to live yet. Could I stay at your place?" Mei asked expectantly.
After hearing Mei's words, the smile on Takuya's face didn't change.
"No problem. You can come back with me later," he said.
His future wife had made such a request, so of course, he couldn't refuse.
In this case, let's take Mei to the clan land.
There were plenty of rooms anyway.
"Very good! Hokage-sama, I really appreciate you," Mei said happily.
And so,
Under mutual agreement,
Mei moved into the Senju clan's territory.
