Under the leadership of Terumi Mei, Raizel easily entered the hidden Village of Kirigakure without any interrogation.
Judging from the respectful attitude of the ninja at the door, Terumi Mei's status seems to be quite high!
Unlike Konoha, Hidden Mist Village is shrouded in cold mist all year round, and the visibility is no more than ten meters, people here can not see the sun even if they want to.
The architectural style of Mist is not much different from Konoha, However, compared with Konoha's one big land, Mist Village is basically divided into various small islands with smooth drainage, and spiral buildings.
Raizel carefully looked at all the buildings along the way, keeping them in his mind as much as possible. Here is where he will live for a year.
Along the way, the mist ninja kept saying hello to Mei, as she kept nodding with a smile.
"Oi Mei, Who is this man", asked the newly arrived man, "I sense a huge chakra in him"
Seeing that person's face, Raizel immediately recognized him, one of the seven swordsmen of mist, the current owner of the famous sword Samehada. And the man who barely managed to escape from getting killed by Ghost through sheer luck.
Fuguki Suikazan of the mist..!!
There is also the shark-faced ninja behind him, Raizel did not know who it is. But that chakra though..!! For the first time in his life, he was seeing someone who is not a Jinchiruki yet rival his own's chakra density. There was so much chakra inside that shark-faced ninja's body that it can even change the terrain from a simple Jutsu.
"Senpai. He is a beggar I brought from the streets, I have had my eyes on him for some time. He is clean. I think he is like us"
Fuguki looked at the beggar Raizel before showing a hint of sadness, "I wonder how many we lose every day"
Raizel was genuinely confused.
Terumi Mei sighed, "I understand you Senpai, but we gotta do what we can. Protecting one ours is already the best we can do at this point"
Fuguki nodded
"Well, senpai, if there is nothing wrong, then I will take my leave first"
As soon as Mei and Raizel was out of sight, he yelled
"Okay, she is gone you perverts, what else are you looking at, go and do your work! Remember, what we are doing is highly illegal, if Mizukage found that we are secretly harboring and protecting the bloodline users we all will be dead meat, do not slack"
"Yes sir!", Came the unified voice.
The sharked face Kisame grinned.
...
'Something is wrong in this village. What did they mean by protecting one of their own', He looked at Mei's back.
Mei is probably the only person who is helping him without any condition. He can tell that because he is very sensitive to chakra and emotion. But... he is Ghost, the leader of the assassination and infiltration squad.
If one day, they were to fight, he would not hesitate to kill her. No matter how good she is to him. And he is sure that she will do the same. They are enemies, and this is nothing but an act.
After going round and round, the two finally arrived at the location where the bloodline users secretly live.
He looked at the innocent villagers. There is surely something off in here. All of them had huge chakra inside of them; probably all of them are bloodline users as well.
'What's the point of hiding them? what is going on in this locked nation?'
"You will live here from now on", when they got home, Mei quickly get into the kitchen to cook something but soon realized that he has fallen asleep.
She smiled and covered him with a quilt. He opened his eyes to look at her back which was walking away. He closed his eyes again.
He stands in a dark place, a place filled with dead bodies, It was a chaotic scene of the people he killed, his body was covered in blood.
"Raizel"
He jolt and woke up from the nightmare; as he looked outside to see it was even darker than the original. It's so hard to tell in these situations.
'Focus'
The first thing to catch his attention was the smell of food. He looked ahead to see Mei was preparing dinner in her apron, pots and pans were clinking non-stop.
"Go and wash, and then come and eat..!!"
"Yes..!!", Raizel responded softly, and shook his head, 'Concentrate'
He went to the bathroom and washed thoroughly.
...
"Hurry up and have dinner, why are you bathing for so long!", Mei yelled at him.
"Coming..!!"
Drying himself up he wore his clothes on and made his way to the dining room.
Mei sighed as she looked at him, "Do you boys take so much time to bathe?"
"It was my first time... bathing in clear water", Raizel said as Mei looked at him with pity in her eyes
"How long have you been sleeping on the streets", Mei asked with sad eyes
"I don't know, but I don't remember living anywhere other than the streets since I was born."
Mei closed her eyes before opening them again, "It's alright, this is your home now", she reached out her hand to touch his cheek before pushing on the chair...
Raizel blushed and looked down, "Thank you for your kindness..."
Mei gave him a smile before sitting back in her seat.
...
~~Thirty minutes later~~
After the meal was over, Raizel cleaned up the table, then washed the dishes, and sorted them out.
"Alright, we need to get you a house, and check your background for precaution"
He looked at her without a care.
She laughed, "It's nothing serious, we have to make sure that you are no spy from Mizukage or other nations. This is our territory, it's easier to trap the spies and kill them. Leaving that aside, we also have to figure out why you have such a huge amount of chakra in your body. I am very much assured that you are like us"
"Like... us?"
She smiled and nodded, "That's right. Like us, the bloodline users", she ruffled his hair, "That is why I took you in"
"What if I am not... one of you guys..?!"
"It would not matter. You can live here all the same. Cheer up, who knows maybe you are some secret prince or something. Alright enough of this, we have an important task to complete"
"Huh?"
She grinned, "It's time to go shopping and buy clothes!"
She stood up and dragged him.
"W-wait"
He hardly balanced himself between all this dragging, it's time to go shopping.
