"You… you know me?"

Mei Terumi's face shifted, growing more serious.

For so many years, Kirigakure had been isolated from the outside world.

Though she might be somewhat known within Kirigakure, no one beyond the village had ever heard her name.

Now, Uchiha Haru spoke it aloud in person—there could be only one conclusion.

He had come for her.

But why had Uchiha Haru suddenly found her?

"Don't be afraid, I mean no harm," Haru said lightly.

No harm?

Mei Terumi frowned slightly.

More than ten days ago, the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi, had warned that Kirigakure would face a tremendously powerful adversary—Uchiha Haru.

If anyone saw a strange ninja around the village, they were instructed not to engage, but to report immediately for countermeasures.

Unexpectedly, she had encountered him today.

If the Fourth Mizukage's warning was true, then with Haru's strength, it would be effortless for him to kill her.

Yet, now that he stood before her without attacking, only one reason came to mind.

She was useful to him.

"What do you want?" Mei Terumi asked, voice steady but resolute.

"If you intend to use me to harm the Hidden Mist Village, I would never agree—even at the cost of my life!"

She had lived in the Hidden Mist Village since childhood, filled with affection for everything within it.

Though Kirigakure's current state was far from ideal, she would never allow its destruction.

This was her home—and she would protect it.

"Is it really bad for the Hidden Mist Village?"

Haru chuckled softly, his eyes calm as they met hers.

"Do you know what the shinobi world now calls your Kirigakure?"

"The Village of the Bloody Mist."

"For years, the Hidden Mist Village has been shrouded in darkness, chaos, and bloodshed. Not only shinobi but ordinary civilians have suffered—wives separated from husbands, children torn from families."

"If I truly wished to destroy the Hidden Mist Village, I could lurk in the shadows and fan the flames of chaos. Everything I wanted would unfold naturally."

"But that is not my intention."

Hearing his words, Mei Terumi's expression darkened.

For so long, the village had anguished in darkness.

Those bloody scenes unfolded before her eyes, too close to ignore.

Why would anyone need to frame the Hidden Mist Village now?

"What exactly do you want? And why do you need me?"

Mei Terumi asked cautiously.

Haru nodded approvingly, recognizing the sharp mind destined to become the Fifth Mizukage.

In just a few exchanges, she had already grasped his intent.

"Utilize? Perhaps 'cooperate' is a better term."

He met her gaze steadily. "Mei Terumi, tell me—do you want to change Kirigakure's current state?"

She blinked in surprise, not expecting such a direct question, but slowly nodded. Yes, she did want that.

Of course, she wanted it.

Anything to make Kirigakure better.

"Good. I will help you."

"I will help you take control of the Hidden Mist Village and become its Fifth Mizukage."

Haru's voice was calm but carried absolute confidence.

He spoke such a shocking statement as though it were nothing more than an ordinary fact.

Yet Mei Terumi's face held no joy; instead, her wariness deepened.

Mizukage.

Of course she wanted to be one.

Just as every young and promising ninja in Konoha dreamed of becoming Hokage, becoming Mizukage was her aspiration.

But to achieve it with the help of Uchiha Haru?

Why would he help her?

Was he planning to control the entire Hidden Mist Village through her?

Or did he have some other purpose?

Countless concerns flashed through her mind.

Yet outwardly, she remained composed.

"No need for that."

Aware of the potential risks, Mei Terumi declined Haru's offer.

"To become Mizukage, I will rely on my own strength, not the aid of others."

"Besides, our Fourth Mizukage is still in his prime. I doubt there will be a successor for at least another decade."

"Is it premature to even talk about Mizukage succession now?"

"Heh."

Haru chuckled.

"The Fourth Mizukage?"

"Mei Terumi, you're smart—you must have sensed something strange about the Fourth Mizukage."

"To be honest, the current Fourth Mizukage is no longer the man he once was."

"The one who holds that title now is merely a puppet, controlled by someone else's illusion."

"What!"

Mei Terumi's expression hardened as she scolded, "You're talking nonsense!"

"Our Fourth Mizukage is the Three-Tails Jinchūriki. Who could possibly control him?"

"Stop with the nonsense—I don't believe a word of it!"

"Oh?"

"Is that so?"

Uchiha Haru said calmly, "Think carefully about when the Fourth Mizukage began to change. I have no reason to lie to you."

"You can believe me or not. Right now, it's you who needs me, not the other way around."

"Now, you can leave at any time and discover the truth for yourself. During this process, I promise not to interfere until you've uncovered everything. When you need my help, you can come back to find me."

Mei Terumi was still deep in thought when the figure before her vanished in the blink of an eye.

Uchiha Haru—who had just stood in front of her—disappeared completely.

She remained frozen, still clutching her kunai, as if the encounter had never happened.

Only her pounding heart and lingering fear proved that it was real.

She exhaled slowly, brows furrowed tightly, her mind tangled with indecision.

Three choices lay before her.

The first: dismiss everything as an illusion and ignore it completely—pretend it never happened and that it had nothing to do with her.

But she quickly discarded this option.

How could she simply turn a blind eye to what had just occurred right before her eyes?

She couldn't.

The second choice: report the encounter with Uchiha Haru to the Hidden Mist Village, so the village could prepare for the powerful enemy.

After that, whatever happened would be out of her hands; she would do whatever the Fourth Mizukage ordered.

As a shinobi of Kirigakure, this seemed the most reasonable choice.

After all, why trust an outsider over her own Mizukage?

It made sense—at least on the surface.

Yet Mei Terumi hesitated.

Finally, she chose the third option: investigate the Fourth Mizukage's situation herself to see if Haru's claim was true—that the Fourth Mizukage was controlled by someone else.

She had her reasons.

When Yagura Karatachi first became Mizukage, Kirigakure was not the "Village of the Bloody Mist" that the outside world now called it.

Instead, it was stable, harmonious, and prosperous—everything seemed to be moving in a better direction.

Then, during the Third Great Ninja War, the Fourth Mizukage's temperament suddenly changed, and everything shifted.

At first, few thought much of it.

People change—especially after a brutal war like that.

So although the Fourth Mizukage's changes were dramatic, no one doubted him.

Even after a series of dark and brutal policies were enacted, suspicion was minimal.

The Fourth Mizukage was powerful—and as the Three-Tails Jinchūriki, who in the shinobi world dared to challenge him? It was simply unthinkable.

But now, Haru's words rang in Mei Terumi's mind.

Though it seemed impossible, could the Fourth Mizukage truly be controlled by someone else?

That thought lingered, urging her toward a final decision.

She wanted to find out for herself.

But testing the truth didn't mean accepting Haru's help.

For Mei Terumi—and for Kirigakure—whoever controlled the Fourth Mizukage was an enemy.

And the sudden appearance of Uchiha Haru was no guarantee of goodwill.

Raised in Kirigakure—the "Village of the Bloody Mist"—Mei Terumi was no naive girl.

She was talented, level-headed, and capable, even at a young age.

She knew how to act in dangerous situations and what the right choices were.

Kirigakure's affairs should be solved by its own people—not reliant on outsiders.

Only then could the village's fate truly be in its own hands.

After deciding, Mei Terumi exhaled deeply and picked up the scattered kunai.

Then she began walking toward the village.

If she wanted to test Haru's claims, she had to see the truth with her own eyes.

Of course, her abilities alone wouldn't suffice.

She needed a trustworthy ally—someone capable enough to help.

Still, she hoped it was all just her imagination.

If the Fourth Mizukage truly was controlled by another, Kirigakure—and perhaps the entire shinobi world—faced a catastrophic upheaval.

As she hurried to the village entrance, Mei Terumi glanced back.

Her mind was still clouded with doubts.

Uchiha Haru.

She was a smart woman.

She would never underestimate a clever man like him.

He obviously understood what she was thinking—and what choice she might make.

Yet he had left the decision entirely to her and promised not to interfere.

Was he truly confident she would come back to him when she needed help?
