Sunny and cheerful Konoha Genin

"I'm Uchiha Yukina."

Yukina said this in a flat tone, while raising her eyes and looking at Mei Terumi calmly.

"Oh?"

Mei Terumi narrowed her eyes slightly, and a barely perceptible smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

interesting……

In an instant, she understood the other person's eyes.

It was the look of a predator declaring its territory, with a hint of warning at the same time.

Rumor has it that the Uchiha clan is easily swayed by emotions, becoming irritable and aggressive.

But now it seems that the little girl in front of him named Yuina is not like that.

Is it because of Toru Ito?

If it was him, then this would make sense.

Thinking of this, the look in Mei Terumi's eyes quickly turned into a subtle smile.

"Hello, I'm Mei Terumi."

Mei Terumi spoke with a slight smile in her eyes. Her voice was low and magnetic, with a hint of intimacy in her tone.

"Thank you for your hard work, you two came a long way."

"You didn't encounter any trouble on the way?"

"Um..." Hearing Mei Terumi ask this, Qing looked a little embarrassed, so he quickly leaned over and whispered about the bandits he had encountered before.

"Huh?" A hint of surprise flashed across Terumi Mei's face.

"How could such a thing happen?"

"But the bandits on our side close to the land should have been cleared out long ago."

"Could it be from the sea?"

A large area of ​​Kirigakure Village is close to the sea.

This is why the entire country is shrouded in white fog filled with water vapor for a long time.

"I don't know. I was thinking that the Anbu might have relevant records."

"Well, you go and be responsible for the investigation." Mei Terumi nodded solemnly.

The appearance of bandits is nothing in itself, but the things in the hands of those wandering ninjas can easily cause chaos!

It can make ordinary ninjas consume their lives, and gain the combat power to compete with or even surpass that of jonin for a short period of time...

If this terrible potion were to spread.

Mei Terumi has already imagined what kind of chaotic scene there will be at that time!

"Ok!"

Qing nodded heavily.

"Then I will be leaving first, Lady Terumi Mei."

"Go."

Qing disappeared in a flash.

"Then please follow me, both of you."

Mei Terumi looked at Ito Toru and the other person, and a smile reappeared on her face.

"Your accommodation has been arranged."

As she spoke, she moved closer to Ito Toru.

However, before he could take a few steps, Yuina blocked his way.

"Ms. Terumi Mei, you just need to lead the way. We can keep up."

"Oh~ That's it."

Mei Terumi shrugged, as if she didn't care at all: "Then the two of you follow me."

"Hmm?" Yukina looked a little confused.

Just now she saw a hint of amusement in Mei Terumi's eyes.

It made her feel quite strange.

"What are you thinking about, Yuina?" Ito Toru poked her arm: "Let's follow."

"……it is good."

So the two of them followed Mei Terumi and walked slowly on the streets of the Hidden Mist Village.

"Ito, is there anything going on between you and her recently?"

"What could possibly happen between me and her?"

"I don't know. I just have an indescribable intuition."

"..."

"What's that look in your eyes?"

"Nothing, I just feel... Yukina, sometimes you tend to think too much. Relax a little, we are not on a battlefield now."

"Is that right?"

Hearing him say this, Yuina thought for a moment and realized that she was too nervous.

Apart from the Chunin Exam, Toru Ito was basically in Konoha Village and on the battlefield. How could he have any connection with the Kirigakure Anbu Mei Terumi?

"But the way she looks at you is very unusual."

"Who here looks at us in a normal way?"

Ito Toru spread his hands and said, "Look at those villagers on the street. If it weren't for Mei Terumi leading the way, they would probably rush up and fight us to the death."

"In a village like this, you can't think about things in the usual way."

Yukina looked around and saw that the villagers of the Hidden Mist Village were looking at her unfriendlyly.

After all, Kirigakure lost the battle with Konoha this time, and the cost of defeat must be borne by all the citizens of the Land of Water.

Apart from anything else, the increased taxes alone are several percent higher than usual.

Now that Konoha's ninjas have come to the Hidden Mist Village as the victorious nation, it would be strange if they were treated well...

"Makes sense."

Yukina nodded slightly.

"Then why did you agree to come here?"

She asked curiously, "It's so unfriendly here."

"We can't keep being hostile forever."

Ito Toru shrugged helplessly: "Peace requires an opportunity. I'm not bragging, but I think there is no one more suitable than me."

"Then do you think I will be a burden to you?"

"No, of course not!"

Ito Toru smiled slightly and reached out to ruffle Yuina's hair: "It's always different to have companions and not have companions."

"I feel very relieved if you come with me."

"You're lying." Yukina blushed and muttered softly as she broke free from Ito Toru's hand: "There are so many people on the street! Don't touch my head!"

"Okay, okay~"

She heard flirting voices behind her, and Mei Terumi clenched her fists unconsciously.

His expression wasn't as friendly as before, but since his back was turned towards them, they couldn't see it.

What a couple!

Mei Terumi cursed inwardly.

They actually showed affection behind my back.

You really treat me as a tour guide, don't you?

No, we can't let Toru Ito get away with it like this.

"Hahahahaha!"

When Toru Ito was still turning around and chatting with Yuina, he suddenly felt something soft bumped into, which made his heart skip a beat. He quickly stopped and turned to look forward.

In front of him, Mei Terumi's pretty face was slightly red, like a ripe peach, and her eyes were full of love as she looked at him.

"I-I didn't mean it!"

Almost subconsciously, Toru Ito raised his hands and spoke the classic words.

Next to her, Yuina's face darkened, her original smile suddenly disappeared, and her eyes showed signs of turning red.

"It's okay, I know you didn't mean it, I was just being presumptuous because I remembered there's a delicious snack bar nearby."

Mei Terumi said this while blinking her eyes.

The tenderness in those eyes almost made tears come out.

???

Why did you suddenly do this?

Ito Toru felt a chill on his back.

There was a faint scent of tea wafting in the air.

"Is...really? What kind of snack bar is that?"

He wanted to change the subject quickly.

The look in Yuina's eyes next to her seems to be ready to kill!

"You'll know when you get there. Come with me. As a local, I have to treat you well."

Mei Terumi gave a mysterious smile.
