"I didn't expect to see you two again in this way." Makoto stood up and took off the cat face mask on his face.

After speaking, he hurriedly came to the side of Nonō Yakushi and measured her breath and

pulse. He was relieved to see that she was only in a coma.

"Don't worry, I... I used medical ninjutsu to help her with the emergency treatment, and she

will wake up soon." One of the young girls who had been guarding Nonō Yakushi whispered.

Makoto heard her, he nodded and smiled: "Thank you!"

"No...you're welcome..." Seeing Makoto's handsome face close at hand, the girl's face

flushed and she became speechless.

"We can't stay here for a long time, let's talk at another place!" Makoto picked up Nonō

Yakushi, and faced Mei and Ao on the side.

"Yeah." Mei nodded.

The group left immediately.

Less than two hours after they left, a large number of ninjas rushed to their previous location, but they only found scorched earth and corpses were there.

...

Makoto, Mei Terumi and the others came to a cave to rest.

Makoto, Mei Terumi and Ao sat around the bonfire. The two female ninjas, Yoko and Junko, went to take care of the unconscious Nonō Yakushi.

"I don't know what you two are doing in the land of Lightning?" Makoto broke the silence

first.

The Hidden Mist has always opposed the Land of Lightning, how could they suddenly think of forming an alliance with the Hidden Cloud.

"What did your Excellency come to the Land of Lightning for?" Ao did not answer Makoto's

question, but asked him instead.

However, Ao's attitude is very respectful, after all, Makoto has repeatedly displayed his powerful strength worthy of the moniker 'Imperial Wind Sword'.

"To save someone!" Makoto answered Ao's question and looked at Nonō Yakushi who was lying next to him on the mat.

"What is your relationship with her?" Mei, who had been silent, suddenly said.

Makoto raised his head and saw an inexplicable emotion in the girl's aqua marine eyes.

Mei who saw him looking at her gazed back without the slightest shyness.

It was Makoto who was the first to be defeated and said, "She is called Nonō Yakushi, and

she is the dean of the Konoha Welfare Institute."

Seeing that there was a look of suspicion on Ao's face, Makoto did not hide it, saying:

"She used to be a member of the Anbu. This time she was intimidated by the elders and

forced to perform a spy mission.

I was entrusted by a child in the orphanage to help him bring the dean back. "

"Because of this? You entered the Land of Lightning alone?" Mei eyes showed a curious

look.

Makoto was nothing like the so-called geniuses she had seen in the village.

"It's not just that. I want to accept that child as a disciple, so naturally I have to seek the

dean's consent. As a teacher, the first wish of a disciple must naturally be satisfied.

It just so happened that the village had another mission to patrol the border.

Makoto smiled slightly, and then asked, "What about you? Isn't the Mist Village barely

communicating with the outside world?

How could you suddenly think of forming an alliance with the Hidden Cloud? "

"Something happened in the village, so the top management changed the previous closed

policy." Ao's rhetoric is rather vague.

"The Hidden Leaf Village and The Hidden Cloud Village are the strongest among the current

five great nations. The Hidden Mist wants to change the previous closed policy and seek

allies among the five great nations. Naturally, we have to form an alliance with the two

strongest countries.

So the village sent two envoys to Konoha and Hidden Cloud at the same time.

Although Konoha Village and Hidden Cloud Village are currently in a hostile state, the

Hidden Mist never thought that they could really form an alliance with the two villages at the

same time.

The best result is naturally a successful alliance with one of the villages.

Judging from the result, the have failed to become allies with the Hidden Cloud.

Not only that, they also want to frame the Hidden Rock and make us their enemy. "

According to time, my father and them should have arrived at Konoha. "

Mei spoke straight forwardly, and directly explained the purpose of her trip.

Ao on the side kept winking, but she just turned a blind eye.

Mei pointed to Nonō Yakushi on the side, and then said: "As for saving her, it is a

complete coincidence.

She was hunted down by three ninjas, and we just met.

Knowing that she is a Konoha ninja, thinking about saving her first, it is also considered a

favour for Konoha.

After all, Konoha is naturally the best choice for the Hidden Mist if it is to form an alliance.

But I didn't expect that dozens of Hidden Cloud Ninjas pretending to be Hidden Rock came

behind.

Speaking of which, I also want to thank you for rushing to save us in time.

Without you, even if we could escape the enemy's siege, there would be casualties.

And we would've definitely had to abandon Nonō Yakushi. "

Mei's direct answer, left Makoto unexpected.

But to be honest, he likes real people like Mei very much.

In other words, Mei is also a smart person.

After all, when he returns to the village, he will naturally know that the Hidden Mist has sent

people to the village, including the stubborn like Ao, so it is better to explain the words

straightforwardly.

Of course, maybe Mei did not think so deeply.

But whether she is the former or the latter, Makoto likes both real people and smart people.

Makoto looked at Mei's delicate face and smiled:

"Anyway, you all saved Nonō Yakushi, and we are even now."

"How can you say that? You saved my father, I haven't thanked you for that yet. I didn't expect this time to be the same as last time."

"It may be destined."

"Perhaps."

...

Feeling the natural and harmonious atmosphere between Makoto and Mei's conversation, Ao was a little surprised. Although Mei-sama is gentle and friendly, she is not usually a person who talks a lot. Today, she kept talking.

The dialogue between the two was naturally smooth, just like a long-time friend, sentence

after sentence, he couldn't even interrupt.

"After Yuu-sama was attacked last time, I wonder what happened to the Hidden Mist? Have

your internal problems been solved?" Makoto smiled.

"Since the Fourth Mizukage, he..."

"Cough cough cough cough cough cough!"

Mei subconsciously answered Makoto's question and went along the conversation without

talking when, Ao coughing suddenly made a violent sound.

Mei realized this, and she looked at Makoto angrily because of Ao.

Somehow, she always feels that Makoto has a temperament that makes people feel close.

Although she admits that Makoto's appearance is the type she likes very much, but as the

eldest lady of the Terumi clan, the future Matriarch, she will naturally not be a nympho.

It's just the mysterious temperament of Makoto, and the deeds circulating in the Ninja world,

that made Mei couldn't help but want to know him.

Makoto smiled after suffering from Mei's eye roll.

He just wanted to test it a bit, the girl's reaction made him feel very interesting.

With the wounds that Obito had left in the Hidden Mist, the Mist look for allies like Konoha,

and with Minato still alive, it is likely the alliance would be between them. He just hopes that

if Konoha and Hidden Cloud goes to war, the Hidden Mist will not cause trouble.

"What have you been looking at me for?" Mei's gentle and pleasant voice broke his train of

thought.

It turned out that when he was in a daze, he had been staring at Mei.

"It's nothing, when I think about problems, I habitually look at beautiful things." Makoto explained.

He usually thinks about problems and likes to look into the distance, but at this time in the

cave, Mei and Ao are sitting opposite, so naturally it is impossible for him to stare at Ao.

"There is no wind in the cave..." Mei said and then paused halfway through her words, she suddenly reacted. She put one of her hands on her cheek and looked at Makoto with a weird emotion in her eyes.

Is he talking about me?

Does he like me?

Mei is naturally used to being praised for her talent and looks, but this was the first she reacted like this from a praise.

Maybe he just said this subconsciously, but he meant what he was saying.

It really makes her...

"Ahem..." At this moment, a soft cough came from the side.

Mei came back to her senses and glared at Ao next to her.

Ao looked at her innocently and shook his head again and again.

It turned out that Nonō Yakushi woke up.

"Dean, are you awake?! How do you feel?" Makoto came to the side of Nonō Yakushi.
