Chapter 332 332 A Different World
"This... is the other Ninja World?"
Looking at the familiar yellow sand still filling the sky after exiting the tunnel, the group said in surprise.
"Of course it's another Ninja World!" Sora replied: "We came to a Ninja World, not a different dimension. Arriving from Roran in the Land of Wind of one world to Roran of another world, it's perfectly normal to have yellow sand everywhere, isn't it?"
"That's true!" Hearing Sora's words, everyone understood.
"Then where do we go now?"
Kushina looked at Sora: "Although I'm also very curious about another world, to understand it, we need a goal, right?"
"A goal?" Hearing Kushina's words, Sora pondered: "Let's go to Kirigakure first!"
"Kirigakure is always our base. Going to Kirigakure first makes everything easier to discuss." Sora said.
"OK, I have no problem with that!" Pakura nodded.
Besides Kirigakure, they could also go to Sunagakure, but the problem was… it's an unfamiliar Sunagakure.
Pakura acknowledged she wasn't as capable as Sora at keeping things under control.
And if Sora returned to Kirigakure, he could keep everything under control no matter what!
"Then let's go to Kirigakure." Kushina also had no objections.
"Follow me!"
Sora casually opened a Garganta.
Everyone followed Sora into the Garganta.
Meanwhile, in the Land of Water, Kirigakure, the Mizukage Building.
The brand new Fifth Mizukage, the older sister version of Mei was handling administrative affairs.
Looking at the mountain of paperwork before her, Mei felt like giving up.
She slammed the pen down heavily and began to vent: "Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, damn you and your whole family! You're gone, but this mess you left behind is too difficult!"
"I'm already 29. I'm going to miss my marriageable age. What will I do if no one wants me in the future? I won't be able to get married!"
"Wah wah wah, how infuriating! The most infuriating thing is, I have to deal with all this stuff!"
"Elder Genji? Get him here. I'm going on strike!" Mei complained miserably.
"Uh, Mizukage-sama, calm down, calm down!" Looking at Mei, Chojuro and Ao nearby tried to persuade her.
"Elder Genji is already over a hundred years old. Having him handle documents would kill him." Ao advised patiently: "And besides, I'm still here helping you, Mizukage-sama."
"That's true enough!" Mei shook her head miserably: "But these things are just too troublesome!"
"Current Kirigakure is so weak! Why does reviving Kirigakure's greatness have to fall on a weak woman like me?"
"I really wish a heroic man would descend from the sky and reverse Kirigakure's decline in one go!"
Holding her face in her hands, Mei looked at the ceiling, dreaming a beautiful dream.
"Ah..." Looking at this version of Mei, Ao sighed.
Although he very much wanted to burst Mei's bubble and make her sober up-
Reason told Ao that Mei was indeed very tired. If she wanted to relax for a while, let her relax.
Because, during the Bloody Mist's many years, Kirigakure had truly bled itself dry!
The Kekkei Genkai Clans were almost completely wiped out. Current Kirigakure could be said to have Mei as its sole remaining pillar!
And Mei also understood this.
In Kirigakure, which prioritized survival of the fittest, for a mere woman to ascend to the Mizukage's seat meant one terrifying thing.
Kirigakure's strong men really had all died out!
Current Kirigakure was trash. If anything happened to Mei, it could immediately fall out of the ranks of the Five Great Ninja Villages!
"The burden is heavy and the road is long!" Sighing, Mei began handling administrative affairs again, casting aside her earlier wishful thinking.
She herself understood that hoping god would bestow a strong man upon her was laughable just to think about.
However, Mei did not know-
Today, God was determined to play a joke on her!
Just as Mei was about to continue handling affairs-
Crrack!
A black fissure appeared in the Mizukage's office!
An ominous aura emanated from it!
"Protect Mizukage-sama!"
Seeing the Garganta, Ao and Chojuro immediately stepped in front of Mei!
"Hmm? What is that?"
Mei looked at the Garganta, also very puzzled.
This seemed to be some kind of Space-Time Ninjutsu, looking very strange.
But regardless of what Space-Time Ninjutsu it was, that wasn't important.
What was important was...
Mei looked at the Garganta, feeling absolutely no sense of threat!
'Moreover, I even felt... very close to it. Why was that?'
Mei was puzzled!
Then, she witnessed movement from the Garganta again!
Sora stepped out. Behind him, Pakura, Kushina, and Kaguya followed in turn.
Arriving in the Mizukage's office and seeing Mei, Pakura and Kushina were first stunned, then immediately greeted her: "Yo, Mei, you're here!"
"Huh?" Hearing the familiar address from these people, Mei froze!
"Um, you are...?" Mei asked tentatively.
