"Changjuro, listen to me, I have seen your progress over the years. Now, you have no problem with your ability to handle the chores in the Ninja Village."
Terumi Mei's eyes softened, she looked at Chojuro, and said with a smile:
"I have always raised you as my biological brother. Even if I don't leave you this time, I will leave you one day. Sooner or later, you will have to face the world alone."
"I……"
Chojuro was lost in thought, not daring to meet Terumi Mei's eyes, and looked down at the ground.
For him.
Terumi Mei was more than just his sister, she was almost like an adoptive mother.
"You should be aware of the responsibility you have on your shoulders now. Go ahead, Chojuro, and face it bravely. You deserve this seat."
As Terumi Mei spoke, she raised her hand to smooth the hanging hair from her forehead, put away the scrolls on the table, and stood up slowly.
In Bai Yu's eyes, Chojuro's eyes kept moving at this moment, and he could tell at a glance that there was a fierce struggle going on in his heart.
This guy has been with Terumi Mei for so long, and he still doesn't have enough self-confidence.
Bai Yu simply added fuel to the fire and said: "Changjuro, if you don't take over the responsibility of the adults in your family, I'm afraid this responsibility will have to fall on the shoulders of others."
Chojuro heard this.
The responsibility falls on someone else.
Doesn't it mean...
Will Kirigakure Island be managed by others?
No!
Over the years, Kirigakure Island has been managed by Chojuro and his family together, making it so beautiful, and the future is promising.
If it were managed by someone else.
Chojuro couldn't believe it.
"No, no, at least I don't want it to be managed by anyone else."
Chojuro looked impatient, his pupils were trembling, and his emotions were instantly ignited.
Terumi Mei sighed secretly, looking at Bai Yu with admiration from the corner of her eye, and couldn't help but praise him in her heart.
Bai Yu secretly raised the corners of his mouth, came to Changjuro, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "So, Changjuro, congratulations, starting from tonight, you will become the new island owner of Kirigakure Island!"
When Chojuro heard this, his emotions rose to a peak, calmed down, and then fell quickly. He hesitated and said: "Can I really do it?"
"Yes! If I say yes, I mean yes!"
Terumi Mei said confidently.
Even though the future Mizukage she recommended had some flaws in her character and strength, she could do it.
at this point.
Bai Yu also agreed.
no way.
Although Chojuro's performance in Boruto is not satisfactory, what can be done in a stage where many old characters are used as stepping stones to belittle him.
Furthermore.
In addition to being a member of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, Chojuro is not a Jinchūriki, and he has no blood inheritance limit. Being able to become a Mizukage is already very good.
Terumi Mei also liked his honest, capable and down-to-earth character.
When Chojuro heard the affirmation from his master and Master Baiyu, who was now standing at the pinnacle of the ninja world, his heart, which was like a lonely boat drifting in the sea, finally stabilized.
"Then let me... give it a try!"
Chojuro's brows softened and he clenched his fists. The tangle in his heart due to lack of confidence was finally resolved, and he reached reconciliation with his past self.
No matter what happens in the future.
It’s not like my lord is no longer in the Ninja world. If something goes wrong in the Ninja Village, it’s not like I can’t ask for help from my lord.
Say it again.
There are Uchiha behind them, and if there is a problem on Kirigakure Island, Master Bai Yu, who is standing at the top of the ninja world, will not stand idly by.
"Bai Yu, I will tell Changjuro some basic things to pay attention to, and then I will go back to the bedroom to pack some things. You wait for a while."
Terumi Mei felt extremely relaxed at this moment. After standing up, she spoke to Bai Yu.
She had been waiting for this opportunity.
After passing on the burden of responsibility to Chojuro, she no longer has to get up early and go to bed late every day. In addition, she does not have to worry about various trivial matters.
although.
Bai Yu needed her to go to the Ninja Alliance Headquarters, but Terumi Mei knew very well that in a place like that, the work was definitely not as tiring as dealing with every detail at the top of the Ninja Village.
"Okay, I'll wait here."
Bai Yu smiled and nodded at the other party, and immediately came to the floor-to-ceiling windows of the Kirigakure Building, quietly admiring the unique scenery of Kirigakure Village.
Although there is no fog in the central area of Ninja Village.
But around Ninja Village.
You can still see the thick fog like a city wall, but compared with before, it is much thinner.
In contrast, today's Kumogakure is more suitable to be called Kirigakure.
Terumi Mei's voice urging Chojuro sounded in his ears. Chojuro was afraid that he would not remember his master's warning, so he immediately took out a pen and paper and hurriedly began to record what the other party said.
Bai Yu didn't pay attention to its content, but focused his eyes on the peaceful streets of Ninja Village and the modern street lamps.
Ten minutes later.
Terumi Mei left the office and went to the bedroom to pack up her personal belongings.
Bai Yu and Changjuro were left in the office.
Chojuro looked around and then hesitantly said: "Sir Baiyu, I went to the headquarters of the Ninja Alliance. I hope you can be kind to my master."
Bai Yu smiled awkwardly and replied: "Don't worry, your adults will take care of themselves. Of course, the salary she receives in the Ninja Alliance will not be low."
Changjuro shook his head and sighed: "That's not what I meant. My lord, she has always wanted to get married..."
moment.
Terumi Mei packed her bag, sealed all the items she wanted to bring into the scroll, and returned to the office again, just in time to interrupt Chojuro.
She smiled softly at Bai Yu and said, "Let's go, I've already packed it up."
"Okay!" Bai Yu immediately opened the door to space.
Chojuro reluctantly looked at Terumi Mei and Bai Yu, but he also knew the heavy burden on his shoulders now, and finally showed his strength and said: "Sir, take care of yourself."
"Well, you should also take care of yourself. Don't panic when encountering problems. Just follow our usual methods of dealing with them. If there is something you can't solve, go directly to Uchiha for help."
Terumi Mei said bluntly.
Normally, there would be no incidents in Ninja Village that Chojuro couldn't handle.
Once an incident occurs that exceeds Chojuro's ability to handle, Uchiha will intervene immediately.
Therefore, there is no need to worry about the safety of Kirigakure Island now.
Bai Yu took Terumi Mei into the space gate.
The two disappeared into Mizukage's office.
In the void space.
Terumi Mei then remembered something and sighed: "I forgot to tell Chojuro. Ask him to pay attention to several piers near the island in the near future."
"Oh? What's wrong?"
Bai Yu asked.
"It should be fine, but based on my observations these days, those docks may be targeted by pirates." Terumi Mei replied.
"Have pirates been rampant recently?"
"Well, all the major ninja villages have been preparing for the future war recently. As a result, the rebel ninja forces that have fled from the major ninja villages in recent years have grown and grown at sea, turning into powerful maritime forces."
Terumi Mei sighed.
In the past, when Kirigakure Village was still healthy, and before the Blood Mist, ninjas would be regularly dispatched to clean up pirates near the island.
It's not that Kirigakure couldn't do these things after joining the Uchiha Ninja Village.
Terumi Mei is still paying attention to pirates, but after Kirigakure is reborn, if he catches everything, he will be unable to catch anything.
"Isn't this just a coincidence?" Bai Yu said with a smile: "The batch of chunin that have just been admitted to the major ninja villages are lacking training partners."
In Bai Yu and Tsunade's plan.
From the beginning, this group of chunin was to be used to clean up the rebellious ninja left behind in the ninja world and the pirates around the ninja world.
Bai Yu was afraid that they were not strong enough.
certainly.
He was also afraid that among the pirates there would be a guy wearing a straw hat who would claim to be the Pirate King at any time.
Didn't think much about it.
When the two of them reappeared, they were already in Enkage's office in the Uchiha Ninja Village.
The two walked out of the space door.
Juan and Fu suddenly became excited and exclaimed: "Sister Terumi Mei!"
Bai Yu secretly cursed in his heart, it's not an exaggeration for you two to call her aunt.
Terumi Mei squinted her eyes and smiled, with sweet dimples appearing on her face. She hugged the two little girls into her arms and asked softly: "Not bad, not bad, Fu has grown a lot taller, and the curls are getting more and more mature." "
In front of Bai Yu's maid group, Terumi Mei really has a big sisterly demeanor.
But her emotional intelligence is very high. She will not ask the two girls how they are practicing as soon as they meet. Instead, she will directly praise them.
Terumi Mei lived in Bai Yu's house for a while, and her status was still very high in the minds of Juan, Fu and others.
After all, the title of strong woman and former Mizukage destined her to be extraordinary among the women in the ninja world.
Especially Kurotsuchi, who vowed to be a Tsuchikage in the future, admired Terumi Mei who had already become a Mizukage.
I just want to be a shadow.
Only then did I realize how difficult this road was.
Terumi Mei also saw the three little ones Temari, Kankuro, and Gaara, and immediately greeted them with a smile, and the three of them returned the greeting.
"Okay, everyone is here, Zhisui, let's serve the food!" Bai Yu teased.
He had been busy for a long time that night, first going to Iwagakure, then to Kumogakure, then to his own home, and finally to Kirigakure.
Busy till now.
The time has reached eleven o'clock in the evening, which is the prelude to the nightlife.
"The food is ready. I'll ask the store to send someone to deliver it."
Shisui replied with a smile. As he spoke, he walked to his desk, opened a drawer, took out an enhanced radio, a model of a future mobile phone, and started dialing.
This is the result of research and development by Orochimaru and Amado, ultra-long-range radio equipment.
Itachi, who was usually silent, took the initiative and said, "Let me take everyone to the rooftop!"
He deliberately smiled, but obviously, he looked better without a smile than with a smile.
"Okay." Bai Yu looked at Fu and Juan and asked, "Aren't you going to call Xiang Rin, Kurotsuchi, and Qian Na?"
Fu shook her head and said, "We called them before we came to the office. One of them shouted that they wanted to sleep, one wanted to learn how to be a shadow, and the other was studying sealing techniques. None of them wanted to come."
"Haha, they don't know that you will be back tonight, but we will tell them tomorrow, and they will definitely cry to death by then."
Juan laughed loudly: "Especially Xianglin, I can already imagine her crying and saying she regretted not coming tonight."
"All right."
Bai Yu shrugged, and immediately led everyone to follow Itachi's footsteps to the rooftop of the Uchiha Building.
Come to the roof.
The sea breeze blows.
Looking out from inside the Ninja Village, you cannot see the sea. All you can see are the tea mountains surrounding the Uchiha Ninja Village.
I want to see the sea.
We can only get out of this mountain and go to A mustard port.
When the former Kirigakure Village launched a large-scale attack on the Uchiha Ninja Village, Chayama played a very important defensive strategic role.
Bai Yu looked around the rooftop.
Above is an iconic architectural decoration that looks like flames. Bai Yu doesn't know what materials the architects used.
But now looking from the outside.
The top of the Uchiha Building is like a burning flame, which is very spectacular and unique.
There is a large round table and many seats in the central area of the rooftop.
These were not prepared suddenly.
You can see it.
During the days when Bai Yu was away from Ninja Village, Shisui and the others often came to the rooftop to enjoy the breeze, kill boring time, or just relax.
"You guys sit down first. I've never been to the rooftop here before. I'll look around!"
Bai Yu said with a smile to everyone around him.
Finished.
He then came to the edge of the rooftop alone and looked at the entire Uchiha Ninja Village from top to bottom.
Compared to when there were only a few lights at night in the Land of Tea, today's Uchiha Ninja Village can be described as thousands of lights.
Street lights are also installed on the tea mountain.
If there was a city that never sleeps in the ninja world.
That must be the current Uchiha.
In terms of status in the ninja world.
Uchiha's influence has reached an unprecedented level.
above the economy.
The combination of technology and ninjutsu has made Uchiha an exporter of various practical equipment in the ninja world, and controls all aspects of the economic lifeline of major ninja villages.
This is also a big reason why the Ninja Alliance can be established so easily.
In the original book, it was after Obito declared war on all the ninja villages that the major ninja villages gave up their estrangements and formed a ninja coalition.
And now.
Bai Yu only needs one sentence to form a ninja coalition.
Thinking.
He took advantage of the time before the supper was delivered, and his consciousness escaped into the spiritual world and came to the white mist space, overlooking the space that had become much deserted since the jinchūriki were cleared away.
"Luo Sha, get out of the queue!" Bai Yu's teasing voice echoed above the thick fog.
At this time, Luo Sha, who was lying in the corner meditating, was interrupted from his thoughts. He looked up with inertia, but did not see the familiar pair of eternal kaleidoscopes.
But he still stood up slowly.
moment.
Luo Sha only felt that she was surrounded by thick fog, and her whole person seemed to be isolated. Danzo and others around her disappeared.
At this time, Bai Yu materialized himself, came to Luo Sha, and said calmly: "I told Gaara and the other three that you are not dead yet."
Luo Sha was immediately shocked, a little surprised, and a little scared. After thinking about it, he calmed down and said guiltily:
"The way I am now is no different from death."
Bai Yu shook his head and said: "There is still a difference. You have seen real death with your own eyes. It means entering reincarnation, and all memories of previous lives will be erased."
"What do you mean when you tell me this?"
After all, Luo Sha was still a seasoned veteran, so how could she not understand Bai Yu's thoughts of finding him alone.
Bai Yu smiled and said:
"Write a letter to each of the three children. You think about the content first, and when the time is right, I will let you out to write."
Some people died, but not completely...
