Terumi Mei moved a little closer, "Or is it that my charm as Mizukage is not as good as that of your Hokage teacher?"
Aoba's gaze subconsciously looked towards a certain place, "Indeed not as big as teacher's..."
"You!"
It hardened. Terumi Mei felt her fist harden.
In the past it was always she who looked down on others, she never expected to be looked down on by someone else now.
"Hmph! Being too big isn't a good thing either, mine is just right, any bigger would become a burden," Terumi Mei stubbornly retorted.
Aoba did not expose her, instead he asked back, "Then are you interested in becoming the wife of the Hokage?"
Terumi Mei was stunned, "You... what do you mean?"
"Since you want to lure me to Kirigakure, why can't I lure you to Konoha?", Aoba raised his hand and brushed aside the bangs covering her right eye.
The emerald green eyes were like gemstones.
At this moment, her expression seemed a little dumbfounded.
"Terumi Mei, I could never go to Kirigakure. Would you consider leaving Kirigakure and coming to Konoha?", Aoba looked into her eyes, expression serious.
Some things ought to be made clear.
"Looks like my beauty trap has completely failed," Terumi Mei pursed her lips, staring at Aoba.
She knew that he could never go to Kirigakure, actually she had understood this long ago, but now that she was formally rejected, her heart suddenly felt empty.
Aoba said nothing, likewise waiting for her to make the choice he had long guessed.
After a while, Terumi Mei let go of the hand holding his, revealing a playful smile, teasingly said, "Little brother, you wouldn't really think I've fallen for you, right?"
"Those were actually all acts, fake. Just methods to lure you to Kirigakure. As a ninja, the first thing to learn is deception."
"I see, I've heard before that the prettier a woman is, the better she is at lying," Aoba's face showed a disappointed expression.
"If you're sad and want to cry, Oneesan's embrace can still be lent to you oh, just as thanks for this period of time," Terumi Mei opened her arms, wanting to comfort him a bit.
Aoba looked at the cleavage in front of him, indeed a little tempted.
But he didn't do so, instead changed the topic, "Yesterday I gave teacher a suggestion."
"Hmm?", Terumi Mei didn't know what he was about to say.
But she had already decided to cut off this impossible-to-have-result relationship.
Though a bit sad, this was the rare boy who could move her heart.
"Suna plans to take advantage of the Chunin Exam to launch war on Konoha, they've already brought the Tailed Beast to Konoha. I suggested to teacher to directly annex Sunagakure."
"What?", Upon hearing this information, Terumi Mei first cried out in surprise, then her expression turned serious, "How can you casually say such important village information?"
She ignored the latter part of Aoba's words.
"Because I believe you won't speak of it," Aoba said frankly.
"You!", This trust made Terumi Mei feel happy inside, but also a bit angry.
How did she not notice before, this brat actually has a bit of a love-struck brain.
Good thing he was tricked by her, if some other bad woman had tricked him, wouldn't Konoha be doomed.
"In the future, no matter how good the relationship is, such important information must never be said, understand?", Terumi Mei said seriously.
"But I've already told you."
"I'll act as if I never knew anything."
Looking at Terumi Mei's tsundere appearance, Aoba laughed again, "I like you even more."
A flush of red flashed across Terumi Mei's cheeks, feeling a bit lost in her heart, "I will definitely become Mizukage in the future, and if you're unwilling to join Kirigakure, then we're impossible..."
Aoba interrupted Terumi Mei's words, "If Kirigakure became part of Konoha, would that be okay?"
"You! What are you saying...", Upon hearing this, Terumi Mei angrily wanted to question him, but when she saw Aoba's incomparably serious expression, her voice paused.
After all this time together, this was the first time she saw him show such a serious expression.
"Are you serious?"
"If just annexing Kirigakure isn't enough, then I'll unify the whole ninja world. By then, would you truly fall for me?", Aoba's gaze became fiery. [T/N: SIMP! Just kidding]
Terumi Mei couldn't help but open her eyes wide.
Under the setting sun the boy slightly raised his head, and that burning yet confident gaze seemed to scorch her heart.
She didn't know if he could really do it, but this Aoba clearly moved her heart even more.
She subconsciously asked, "For me?"
"Mm, for you...", Aoba's words only got halfway out.
Terumi Mei's mind was in a mess.
Although his words about annexing her village made her very angry.
But when he said he wanted to unify the ninja world for her, her love-struck brain was about to act up.
This kind of contradictory feeling left her not knowing what expression to put on.
Even more so not knowing how to respond to him.
She hadn't expected this little brother's feelings for her to be so fiery, she was a bit overwhelmed.
She couldn't help but feel a bit regretful, had she known she wouldn't have tried any beauty trap.
"As long as you come back to Kirigakure with me...", But before she could finish, Aoba acted and interrupted her.
"Mm!", Terumi Mei's pupils instantly dilated, the expression on her face completely froze.
After the shock in her eyes, next came panic, then a blur, on her soft pink lips came an experience she'd never had before.
Her body slightly trembled, then began clumsily responding to him.
"Believe me," When their lips parted, Aoba's face was full of determination.
Terumi Mei was slightly stunned, when she came back to her senses she gently stroked her moist pink lips, forced herself to stay calm and said, "This soul-melting, heart-burning kiss is my gift to you."
"Confident boys are indeed very heart-moving, but talk of unifying the ninja world, better not say it again, or the entire ninja world will be your enemy, even me...", After saying this, Terumi Mei once again revealed a charming smile, then turned around to leave.
As if by doing so, she became the active party.
Only as she turned around, Terumi Mei's cheeks instantly flushed red.
At the same time, she didn't forget to stick out her pink tongue, lightly licking the corner of her lips.
Her gaze became a bit dreamy again, as if savoring that taste.
'So this is how it feels...'
Just that her first kiss was gone, in the future she surely won't be able to marry out. Then she noticed the burning gaze behind her. Her cheeks turned even redder.
"I'm going back first!", Terumi Mei didn't look back, used Body Flicker Technique to escape the scene.
Aoba saw this, just smiled. Did not follow, but slowly walked back.
