Be neighbors with Mizukage

Mist Ninja Village is part of the Kingdom of Water. It is located deep in the mountains and close to the sea.

The Mist Ninja Village is covered in thick fog all year round and is isolated from the outside world, making it appear very mysterious.

Starting from the third generation Mizukage, the Mist Ninja Village began to implement cruel rule and was known as the Blood Mist Village.

The Blood Mist Era was very terrifying. Not only did the holders of the Blood Succession Limits be persecuted, but the entire village was ruthless and indifferent. In the graduation exam of the Ninja Academy, the students had to kill each other, and only those who survived could graduate.

This simply destroyed humanity. Among the graduates of Zabuza Momochi's class, he was the only one who graduated alive. He killed all his classmates. This also caused his mind to become twisted and he had the idea of ​​​​rebellion from the village.

However, he is still a child now.

"Smelly brother, why do you want to chase me? I like handsome boys. You have too many muscles. You must be a very rude person."

"Senior Terumi Mei! I really, really admire you. The way you lift your hair is deeply imprinted in my soul. I dream of you every night when I sleep. I will definitely express my love in the most gentle way.

Yes. Please date me!"

"Ugh~"

Terumi Mei almost vomited after hearing such disgusting words.

As the most charming and powerful genius student at the Ninja Academy, Mei Terumi has always been favored by all kinds of boys.

It takes three years to study at the Ninja Academy. Terumi Mei is already in her last year and is about to face her graduation exam.

I originally wanted to prepare for the exam during this period, but I didn't know that this junior named Zabuza Momochi kept pestering me.

If you were handsome, I could try to date you, but what's wrong with your muscles? You run up to me all day long and take off your shirt, showing off your disgusting muscles. You even make random gestures with a knife, saying

I will become a powerful ninja and protect me in the future.

You know I only like handsome guys, so what's going on with you?

Tsk tsk tsk

"It's so perverted..."

Terumi Mei looked at Momochi Zabuza with disgust, thinking that he was an idiot.

He was so frightened that he trembled all over.

Just then, a call came from afar: Hello! Cutie Terumi Mei!

"Oh, Juuzang-sensei~

How many times have I told you, don't call me that.

I am charming, not cute."

Terumi Mei muttered and looked at the young man walking in the distance with a complaining expression.

Momochi Zabuza stood aside and didn't dare to say a word. He didn't have the guts to be presumptuous in front of the teacher. His back was straight and his face was serious, but he was actually panicking inside.

Loquat Juzo, one of the first Seven Ninja Swordsmen, uses the decapitating sword. His strength is much stronger than the average jounin.

He is now the teacher responsible for educating Terumi Mei.

Every time he sees Loquat Juzo, Momochi Zabuza can't help but take a second look at his beheading sword.

Then I fantasized in my heart: It would be great if you could give me this knife. It would be very cool to play with.

"My dear Terumi Mei, the graduation exam is coming soon. How are you preparing? I don't want my beloved disciple to die."

Terumi Mei rolled her eyes at him and didn't want to pay attention to him. She just said not to yell like that.

Hum~

"With my strength, I am definitely the best among this class of graduates. I haven't found anyone who can compete with me yet. It's just..." Terumi Mei suddenly felt a little frustrated and lowered her head.

"Just what? You don't seem happy."

"A lot of people will die again! A lot of people die in the graduation exam every year!

Why? I really don’t understand why the senior management of Mist Ninja Village designed such a policy!

We are obviously partners who get along day and night, but we have to kill each other."

"Hey! Shut up! You can't talk about this here!" Loquat Juuzang was startled. Even a person of his status did not dare to discuss this matter casually.

The atmosphere in Mist Ninja Village is very tense now, and it has always been under high pressure.

The Third Mizukage and those who support him are very cruel. Anyone who questions the village's policies will be killed.

Loquat Juzo glanced at Mochi Zabuza with a very sharp look. Mochi Zabuza was so frightened that he trembled and said: Don't worry, teacher, I didn't hear anything.

"Go home!"

Um?

"Are you talking about me?"

Loquat Juuzang glared at him again.

"yes!"

Mochi Zabuza ran away quickly, not daring to offend Mr. Juzo again.

Terumi Mei saw this and was almost not amused. Her originally sad mood also eased a bit.

Teacher Juzo, you are such a good person~

This is Mei Terumi’s thoughts from the bottom of her heart.

In fact, it was not just her, but even Uchiha Itachi later thought so.

"There are a lot of people here, and there are quite a few eyeliners from the Third Mizukage. Let's go to the river and talk."

"Yes! Teacher Juuzang"

…

There are many rivers in Mist Ninja Village, so they found a secluded place outside the village.

The two of them walked slowly along the winding river, and the water mist here was very heavy. If they were not close, they would not be able to see each other's faces.

"Teacher, do you know? People outside call us the Blood Mist Village. They are very afraid of us because we even kill our companions."

"Yes, since the Sandaime came to power, many changes have taken place in the Mist Ninja Village. People with blood inheritance limits will be in danger of extinction."

Upon hearing this, Terumi Mei's expression suddenly changed, and her eyes were filled with fear.

Loquat Juuzang noticed the change in this little cutie's mood and patted her shoulder, "Hahahaha, don't worry, I already knew that you have blood inheritance limits."

"Teacher Juuzang!" Terumi Mei became even more frightened. She looked up at the other party. She was worried whether Teacher Juuzang would strictly enforce the rules and hand her over.

"I won't tell anyone about your bloodline."

"Why help me, teacher"

"Because you are my student."

…

The two walked for a long time by the river and talked openly about many things about the Mist Ninja Village.

"Terumi..."

"Stop! Don't call me that!"

"All right."

Loquat Juzo looks aggrieved, while Terumi Mei is arrogant. It’s awkward no matter how you look at an adult being brutalized by a child.

It’s as if Terumi Mei is the teacher.

"The purpose of letting the companions kill each other is to give the Mist Ninja Village a sense of crisis, and to select the best elites through strict and cruel training. This is the original intention of the Third Mizukage."

"But in this case, the vitality of the village will die. Even if one of the best people is selected among a hundred people, the other 99 will be sacrificed. What if their potential has not been discovered? This will

A lot of talent is being wiped out.”

"I think so too."

"Also, the continued tension will make the people in the village feel nervous and depressed. They will not have a real sense of belonging to the Mist Ninja Village. Over time, a large number of people will defect from the village."

…

Terumi Mei's words resonated with Loquat Juzo. It was the first time he saw such a young child say such words.

Terumi Mei said all the things that Loquat Juzo had suppressed in his heart for a long time and did not dare to say. It seemed that people in the Kiri Ninja Village were already panicking.

The current tranquility is just a sign before the storm is coming!
