Not long after Mabui left, the office door was opened.
However, the person who came was not Mabui, but the Fourth Raikage, who strode in quickly, heading straight for Megumai, temporarily ignoring even the Perfect Jinchuriki, Yugito Nii.
"I am the Fourth Raikage, A! I warmly welcome both of you to join us on behalf of Kumogakure!"
The tall, muscular man in the white cloak was all smiles, his voice booming like thunder, and his direct statement echoed like muffled thunder within the office.
Megumai, holding Seiya, stood up from her seat and greeted him politely, "Raikage-sama, I have heard much about you."
The Fourth Raikage laughed heartily, then quickly composed himself, adopting a gentle expression as he looked at the young Seiya, lowering his voice: "My voice was too loud just now, I hope I didn't frighten the little one?"
Seiya shook his head and greeted him politely, "Hello, Uncle."
"Hello, hello!"
The Fourth Raikage was beside himself with joy, his usually stern face was wreathed in smiles today.
Anyone could see that he was in an unusually excited state.
After exchanging greetings with the child, the Fourth Raikage turned to the main issue:
"Mabui is currently processing your resident permits. Starting today, both of you are a part of Kumogakure!"
Megumai nodded slightly, "It is an honor!"
Seiya imitated her, "It is an honor!"
A boy flowing with Uchiha blood!
The Fourth Raikage stared at Seiya, instinctively wanting to burst into laughter, but he managed to stop himself, changing to a restrained grin so as not to scare the child.
"Since this is your first time here, you must not have a place to live yet. Kumogakure has prepared a house for you; it is rather simple, so please don't take offense. Once Mabui returns with the permits, she will take you to your new home."
"Thank you, Raikage-sama."
Megumai did not refuse.
They certainly needed a place to stay for now, and she could plan to build a suitable home later.
The Fourth Raikage nodded in satisfaction, then thought for a moment, shed his smile, and said solemnly.
"Since both of you have travelled thousands of miles to join Kumogakure, you must hold immense trust and expectation for our village."
"As the Raikage, I solemnly assure both of you on behalf of Kumogakure: Kumogakure is a village founded on martial strength, and rewards must follow merit, and punishment must follow fault! We firmly prevent the phenomenon of driving out meritorious figures!"
"All positions are held by the capable, and the position of Raikage is the same! We will not tolerate the incompetent clinging to power!"
"Please feel at ease living and striving in Kumogakure, where fair treatment is guaranteed! Should you encounter any injustice, you may seek out Mabui or come directly to me for a resolution!"
His words were impactful and highly targeted.
Clearly, he had learned the reason for Megumai's departure from Konoha from Mabui beforehand.
Megumai understood the intention of the Fourth Raikage's statement and knew that his words were genuine.
As a time traveler, even though she had never been to Kumogakure before, she was aware of the village's internal atmosphere, otherwise, she would not have decisively chosen Kumogakure.
While the three were talking, Mabui opened the office door.
"Megumi-senpai, your and Seiya-kun's permits have been registered and processed. You can go to the document office downstairs to update your photos on a convenient day."
As she spoke, Mabui handed Megumai two magnetic cards.
"Thank you."
Megumai took the magnetic cards, only for Seiya to take them from her.
The little guy looked at the cards several times, front and back, then stared at the names on the cards, clearly very interested.
Seeing this scene, the Fourth Raikage again wanted to laugh out loud, but he held it in, his face turning red from the effort.
After a while, he spoke, "Mabui, stop your work for today and first take our two new villagers to their new home, and then help them become familiar with the village environment."
"Yes, Raikage-sama."
Mabui answered, then led the way for Megumai and Seiya, leaving the Raikage Building and heading toward Fourth Generation Street.
The Fourth Raikage waited until Seiya and the others were far away before bursting into deafening laughter.
A sudden blessing from heaven!
It truly is a sudden blessing from heaven!
The Fourth Raikage was so happy that he paced back and forth in the office, finally calming himself down by punching and shattering Mabui's desk.
Since the day he learned that Killer B had become a Perfect Jinchuriki, today was the happiest day of his life.
Yugito Nii and Atsui stood by, listening quietly to the Raikage-sama's thunderous laughter, silently mourning Mabui's deceased desk.
After a long time, the Fourth Raikage finally noticed Yugito Nii and asked with concern, "How was your Tailed Beast Transformation practical training in the Land of Iron?"
"I gained a lot, but there is still a lot of room for improvement."
"Not bad!"
The Fourth Raikage nodded in approval, sizing up Yugito Nii.
"This training has not only solidified your sharpness but also added a touch of composure to you. You should be able to stand on your own in a few more years!"
He then asked, "I just heard that you encountered an encirclement by the Sannin on your way back. How did you manage to survive?"
Yugito Nii immediately recounted the details of the battle.
The Fourth Raikage listened, deep in thought.
"Mangekyo Sharingan... I remember it being mentioned in the First Raikage-sama's memoir. It was an eye only possessed by Uchiha Madara and his younger brother, Uchiha Izuna. The Uchiha have gradually declined over the years, with few talents known throughout the Shinobi world."
"However, about twenty years ago, a genius was born to the Uchiha-one with a natural Three-Tomoe Sharingan!"
"A natural Three-Tomoe?" Yugito Nii exclaimed in surprise, deeply astonished.
The Three-Tomoe Sharingan was the goal that most Uchiha strived for their entire lives. Someone was born with a Three-Tomoe!
Yugito Nii couldn't help but be curious. "Raikage-sama, what is the name of that genius? What is her title in the Shinobi world?"
The Fourth Raikage raised his eyebrows and smiled. "That person is named Uchiha Megumi, now known as Megumai!"
"Megumi-senpai?!"
Yugito Nii was first shocked, then quickly calmed down, feeling that it made perfect sense.
After all, Megumi-senpai possessed an eye like Uchiha Madara's; who else but her could be born with a Three-Tomoe?
The Fourth Raikage said, "Iwagakure and Kirigakure jointly organized over ten thousand Shinobi troops to ambush Konoha's elite forces at Takamagahara, mainly to eliminate her. It seems they failed completely. Megumai's strength has advanced rapidly and is already superior to the Sannin."
"Precisely why I am so happy that Megumai wants to join Kumogakure. She is only in her twenties, with vast room for growth, and will be a top-tier powerhouse in the Shinobi world for the next thirty years, a pillar of the village!"
"However, the condition of Megumi-senpai's eyes is not optimistic; I fear she might not last many years," Yugito Nii poured a bucket of cold water to prevent the Raikage-sama from having overly high expectations.
The Fourth Raikage was unconcerned and laughed.
"Uchiha Madara was also blind once, but he miraculously recovered later! I believe a genius like Megumai, who appears once every fifty years, can find a cure like her predecessor!"
