Chapter 123: Mei Terumī Practices Repaying the Favor

"It's still the same."

Natsume witnessed the entire process of Sasuke Uchiha awakening the Sharingan.

Although the Tsukuyomi[b]Tsukuyomi[/b] of Itachi Uchiha was absent, the result remained unchanged.

After all, he was the reincarnation of Indra's chakra.

His talent is quite good.

It's just that there's a bit of disharmony in awakening the one - tomoe Sharingan.

After the Anbu ninja knocked Sasuke Uchiha unconscious, he took him to the ninja hospital.

The abnormality Sasuke had just shown made her a little worried.

Moreover, Hiruzen Sarutobi had ordered that his safety must be ensured.

Natsume withdrew her gaze and didn't follow.

She turned around and went home.

Yakumo Kurama was sleeping on the sofa.

Because she had waited for too long.

Tsunade and Shizune had disappeared.

Natsume stroked her chin.

As a high - up in Konoha, Tsunade was probably in the Hokage Building at this time.

She had no interest and no qualification to participate in the discussion.

But the result was destined.

The Uchiha clan had been wiped out.

Hiruzen Sarutobi had little room for maneuver.

Itachi Uchiha would be listed as a Rogue Ninja, and Danzo Shimura, who had disobeyed, would be punished.

What was left was to arrange the funeral.

But after suffering such a grievance, Danzo Shimura would be even more determined to fight for the position of Hokage.

It won't be long before a storm of public opinion sweeps through Konoha.

Land of Water.

Kiri Village.

Mei Terumī was doing vocal exercises, namely practicing singing.

Because Natsume had said that he wanted to listen to songs, and she was a novice, so she had invited a famous singer from the Land of Water.

This singer taught her a way to practice singing.

Sing while walking.

Keep the body relaxed, but not really relaxed, but rather relaxed on the outside and tense on the inside.

The intonation and breath control should be steady, and the voice resonance should be kept in the correct position.

Don't put force on the throat; instead, the whole body should be in motion.

If her voice was still clear after two or three hours of vocal exercises, it would be considered a success.

Mei Terumī had been practicing hard for some time to repay the favor.

The result was actually okay.

From being completely tone - deaf at the start, she can now sing in tune.

Because she was worried about being noticed, she always practiced in the Mizukage's office at night.

Suddenly, applause rang out.

Mei Terumī's heart missed a beat.

Oh no, if people found out that the seemingly dignified and serious Mizukage was doing such a thing in private.

Her prestige would surely plummet.

Just as she was even considering whether to kill the person, she found that it was Natsume.

"You... did you do that on purpose just now?"

Mei Terumī let out a sigh of relief and asked.

"On purpose? What do you mean by on purpose?"

Natsume leaned back on the sofa in an extremely relaxed and comfortable manner. Looking at her panicked expression, he laughed and said, "Are you really that scared of being seen?"

"I am the Mizukage."

Mei Terumī curled her lips. He was definitely doing it on purpose.

"So what if you are the Mizukage? The Mizukage can also have a normal life," Natsume said meaningfully, "For example, singing, dancing, exercising, and falling in love."

"What are you talking nonsense? How could the Mizukage do the things you mentioned?"

Mei Terumī's heart suddenly gave a heavy thump. She nervously reached out and tucked a few strands of hanging hair behind her earlobe.

This instinctive gesture made her exude a unique sense of girlishness.

"But you were just singing," Natsume said, looking at her.

"That was because of your deal," Mei Terumī quickly replied. "I didn't want to do it on my own."

"What do you want to do?" Natsume followed up with a question.

Mei Terumī was stunned.

She had never thought about this question.

From childhood to adulthood, she seemed to have been preparing to be the Mizukage. Other than that, she was good at nothing.

She only started singing because of Natsume.

Mei Terumī pursed her lips slightly and finally skipped the topic. "What did you come here for so late at night?" she asked.

"To listen to you sing," Natsume answered without hesitation.

"Not today," Mei Terumī's pupils dilated slightly. "I'm not ready yet."

She absolutely didn't allow herself to make mistakes or do things imperfectly.

Especially in front of Natsume.

Cough.

Mainly because it was related to a 700 - million loan, she couldn't be careless.

"People from your chamber of commerce have already come," Mei Terumī abruptly changed the topic again. "The construction of the shipping lanes is underway and is expected to be completed within three months."

"Thanks for your hard work," Natsume didn't expose her poor acting and smiled. "After the lanes are opened, we'll need your Kiri to provide long - term protection."

"No problem with that," Mei Terumī wanted to make money with his help anyway. She continued, "When are you planning to go to the Land of Whirlpools?"

"Next time," Natsume stood up, stretched, and said, "Since I can't listen to you sing, I won't disturb your practice."

Mei Terumī wanted to say something but didn't know what to say.

Natsume, who was walking towards the window, suddenly stopped and waved at her.

"What's up?" Mei Terumī walked over in confusion.

"Don't move," Natsume said seriously.

Mei Terumī instinctively nodded.

Then, she saw Natsume getting closer and closer. The distance between them kept shrinking, as if it was going to become negative.

In an instant, her heart started pounding uncontrollably, and her body even trembled slightly. She wanted to run away.

His extremely handsome face kept getting bigger in her sight and finally stopped about a centimeter away.

"Ah!" Natsume's regretful voice rang out.

Oh...!

The warm breath he exhaled wafted onto her snow - white neck, tickling her.

"I'm actually shorter than you!" Natsume said to himself, feeling extremely frustrated.

"..."

Mei Terumī's eyelashes fluttered slightly.

That's it? I thought you were up to something!

For some reason, she felt a faint sense of disappointment.

But thanks to Natsume's reminder, she finally realized that the guy in front of her was just a teenager, not a mature man.

Judging from his appearance, he was probably only in his teens.

He was way too young.

Standing with him, people would only think they were siblings, not a couple.

"Looking closely, you're even more beautiful," Natsume took the opportunity to examine the girl in front of him.

Due to the height difference, all he could see was smooth skin.

At the same time, he could catch a faint whiff of her body fragrance.

Mei Terumī froze instantly.

In the silent Mizukage's office, the sound of her slightly rapid breathing could be heard.

Her face blushed slightly. She kept some distance and looked away, saying softly, "Thanks for the compliment."

"You're welcome."

Natsume waved his hand, feeling a bit uncomfortable.

Men are most sensitive about length.

Take height, for instance.

Mei Terumī was considerably taller than him.

But it was normal.

Natsume was still in his teenage years and would still grow taller.

He recalled that Mei Terumī's official height was 174 centimeters. She was truly tall, even taller than many guys.

In contrast, Tsunade was a bit shorter, standing at only 163 centimeters.

However, being tall had its own advantages.

The experiences varied.

"Okay, I'm leaving."

Natsume sat back on the windowsill and suggested, "Since you're already learning to sing, why not learn to dance as well?"

Without waiting for her reply, he disappeared immediately.

"???"

Mei Terumī stood there, stunned and speechless for a long time at Natsume's audacity.

So, should she learn to dance?
