Hello guys
Thank you for supporting me Although I was relaxing these days, I felt compelled to write a chapter for you all as a way to express my gratitude for your support.
Next week I will formally come back and started uploading new chapters
________
It has been a week since the third regiment ship set sail for the Hidden Mist Village.
In the past week, Yukina had received medical treatment from the medic-ninjas on the ship, and she was instructed to rest her legs for a week.
Currently, Yukina could feel that her legs had completely healed and she was no longer in pain.
She smiled brightly at the thought and said to herself, "This is excellent. Now I can train and do some more missions. I can't wait to participate in another mission; it will be so much fun fighting against other shinobi from other villages."
When Yukina contemplated fighting against shinobi from other villages, she smirked evilly and suddenly burst into loud laughter.
The nearby genins began to back away from her out of fear when they heard her laughing aloud and saw her evil smirk.
When Zabuza heard Yukina laughing loudly, he turned his head and began to approach her calmly.
He frowned when he looked at Yukina's eyes her eyes looked like the eyes of someone plotting an evil scheme so he asked Yukina, "hey Yukina what kind of scheme you are plotting this time?'
Yukina frowned upon hearing this. She turned to Zabuza and asked, "What kind of nonsense are you talking about this time, Zabuza?"
Zabuza scoffed when he heard this and replied to Yukina, "Your face looked like someone plotting an evil scheme, woman."
When Yukina heard this, she unsheathed her katana and said to Zabuza with a very sharp tone that scared all the genins that were watching, "Are you saying my face looks funny, you no-eyebrows freak?"
Zabuza's eyes twitched when he heard this. He then started unsheathing his katana slowly while saying to Yukina, "That's it. I am going to cut you in half now, woman."
Suddenly they both heard loud laughter not far away. The duo turned their heads and they saw Mei walking elegantly towards them.
Mei smiled elegantly at Zabuza and Yukina, saying, "You kids are too hilarious and a handful, just like my aunt said."
Yukina and Zabuza turned their heads toward Mei in confusion and Zabuza asked her, "Who is your aunt, Mei-senpai?"
Mei giggled when she heard Zabuza's question and she answered him, "My aunt is Ema Terumi; she is the one who trained you both in ninjutsu at the advanced training camp."
Both Zabuza and Yukina were surprised when they heard this, and in the next moment Zabuza exclaimed loudly in shock, "Holy shit, that old hag is your aunt."
Mei burst out into laughter when she heard this: "HAHAHAHAHA, kid, you are so funny. You better be careful and not let my aunt hear you saying that she is an old hag or she will kill you in the most painful way possible."
When Zabuza heard Mei's words, he trembled in fear as he recalled his training under Ema at the advanced training camp.

Flashback
"Faster, you moron, do it again. Are you a turtle?"
"SMACK, SMACK, SMACK, SMACK."
"AAAAHHHHH."
Ema was whipping Zabuza's back with a water whip at every mistake he made in the hand seal sequence while yelling at him at the same time.
"Damn you, you sadistic bitch." Zabuza yelled back at Ema while she was using her water whip to whip his back.
Ema just laughed loudly and said to Zabuza, "I will keep whipping your back with my water whip until you can execute the hand seals to my liking, little man. Get used to it."
"SMACK, SMACK, SMACK, SMACK."
"AAAAAHHHHHH."
End of Flashback

Zabuza trembled in fear when he remembered his training under Ema.
Mei raised her eyebrows when she saw Zabuza trembling in fear and she asked Yukina, "Yukina-chan, what's wrong with your friend?"
Yukina looked at Zabuza and laughed out loud when she saw his terrified expression. "HAHAHAHAHA! I never thought that Ema sensei left this deep impression on you, Zabuza."
Zabuza yelled hatefully at Yukina after hearing her comment and said, "Shut up, Yukina. You haven't experienced how sadistic that woman was or how painful her water whip was."
Mei giggled when she heard what Zabuza said and she told Yukina and Zabuza, "You two are so much fun to be around; we should hang out more."
Yukina smiled and nodded her head, but Zabuza turned around and blushed.
Mei then noticed that the port was not far away and she instructed Zabuza and Yukina, "Alright, you two, we will arrive at the port shortly. You two should get ready to disembark the ship."
After hearing Mei's words, both Zabuza and Yukina noticed that the port was not far away, and they quickly prepared to disembark from the ship.
When the third regiment ship arrived at the port, all the Hidden Mist Shinobi, Kotaro, and all the Chana clansmen disembarked the ship, and they started walking towards Kiri calmly.
It only took them twenty minutes for them to arrived at the village gate then Mei told the genins, "you all go to the mission department to receive your payments I and the chunins will go and debrief Mizukage-sama about the mission. Please remember to write your report about the mission; you must submit it to the Mizukage by tomorrow.
Yukina and the rest of the genins nodded their heads to Mei, then they quickly walked towards the mission department to receive their payments.
Mei then turned to Kisame, Ao, Rangetsu, Kotaro, and Shiro and said to them, "Alright, let's go and meet the Mizukage now. Shiro-dono, please instruct your clansmen to wait outside the Mizukage tower."
Shiro nodded in agreement and he followed Mei's instructions, after which they all used shunshin to travel toward the Mizukage tower.
Only Fuguki and Nangetsu stayed behind and Nangetsu asked Fuguki, "Fuguki-sama, what are your plans now?"
Fuguki scoffed when he heard Nangetsu's question. He turned around and started walking away while answering Nangetsu's question, "I will visit the Yuki clan and give that fool Yukitaro his final warning."
Nangetsu smirked in amusement when he heard the response and thought to himself, "Well, things will be interesting very soon. I better go and report everything that happened in the mission to the clan head. I know he will want to hear everything that happened, especially the death of all the Yuki clan clansmen in that mission."
After making up his mind, Nangetsu used shunshin to quickly travel toward the Hozuki clan mansion.

In the Mizukage's office
Mei, Kisame, Ao, Rangetsu, Kotaro, and Shiro entered the Mizukage's office, and Mei started reporting to the Mizukage about their invasion.
After she finished the report, she took out a small storage scroll. She opened the scroll and started executing a series of hand seals.
"PUFF."
When Mei completed the hand seal sequence, a large scroll appeared in a white puff of smoke.
She grabbed the big scroll and handed it to the Mizukage Mei then said to him, "Stored inside this scroll are all the valuables we looted from the Sea Spirit Village, Mizukage-sama."
The Third Mizukage nodded his head in satisfaction when he heard the news and he complimented Mei and the others, saying, "You all did well; you should be proud of yourselves."
Mei and the Chunins smiled when they heard the Mizukage praising them.
The Third Mizukage then looked at Shiro. He smiled at him and said, "Shiro-dono, I am really pleased that you accepted my invitation. I promise that I will treat you and your clan fairly, unlike that fool Kaza."
"However, I will need to put your clan on a probation period. The probation period will last for six months."
"The village will construct a new compound for your clan. Once the construction is complete, your clan will be able to relocate to the new compound. In the meantime, you and your clansmen will stay in the Terumi clan compound. The village will cover all the construction costs of the new compound."
Shiro was surprised when he heard this and when the Third Mizukage saw Shiro's surprised expression, he chuckled and started explaining his reasoning.
"We are treating your clan this way because your clan assisted with the invasion mission. I told you that I will not treat your clan unfairly, and I am a man who keeps his promises."
Shiro smiled upon hearing this. He bowed his head respectfully to the Third Mizukage and said, "Thank you, Lord Mizukage."
The Third Mizukage nodded his head and continued, "Since your reputation is known throughout the Elemental Nation, you will receive the rank of a jounin, but the shinobi in your clan will need to be evaluated by our jounin commander."
Shiro nodded his head in understanding and replied to Mizukage, "I understand, Lord Mizukage. I don't have any problem with this arrangement."
The Third Mizukage nodded and continued, "When your clansmen want to participate in missions, the Terumi clan Shinobi need to accompany them until the probation period is ended."
Shiro nodded and responded to the Mizukage, "We accept this arrangement, Mizukage-sama."
The Third Mizukage was pleased and he nodded his head. He then said to Shiro, "Good. The last thing I need to tell you is that you need to send a portion of your clan's younger generation to attend the Ninja Academy."
Shiro narrowed his eyes upon hearing those words but nodded his head stiffly to the Third Mizukage and stated, "I understand, Lord Mizukage. I will send a portion of my clan's younger generation to attend the Ninja Academy."
The Third Mizukage smiled upon hearing the reply and nodded his head. He then looked at Kotaro and said to him, "As for you, Kotaro, your situation is quite complicated."
Kotaro was confused when he heard the statement and he asked the Third Mizukage, "What do you mean, Mizukage-sama?"
The Third Mizukage sighed and he started explaining, "Let's just say what you did before you went rogue with the Daimyo's daughter makes it difficult for me to help you."
Kotaro rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment when he heard this and the Mizukage continued, "You will receive the rank of a Chunin like I had promised but your probation period will last a whole year and you will be under the supervision of the Hozuki clan in this probation period."
Kotaro nodded his head in acceptance when he heard this and the Mizukage continued, "When you participate in a mission, you will need to be accompanied by the Hozuki clan members in the probation period. That's all I can do for you for now, Kotaro."
Kotaro smirked when he heard the news and said to the Mizukage, "I have no problem with that, Lord Mizukage."
The Third Mizukage nodded his head in satisfaction. He then handed Shiro a Jounin vest and handed Kotaro a Chunin vest.
He then said to them, "These are your new vests. Congratulations on your new ranks and welcome to the Hidden Mist Village."
Kotaro and Shiro smiled upon hearing what the Mizukage said, then the Third Mizukage looked at Mei and Rangetsu. "Mei, I informed your father of my arrangement for the Chana clan earlier today. He is waiting for the arrival of the Chana clan clansmen. Escort the Chana clan to the Terumi clan compound."
Mei bowed respectfully and replied to the Mizukage, "As you wish, Mizukage-sama."
The Third Mizukage then said to Rangetsu, "Rangetsu, I also informed your clan leader about Kotaro's arrangements. I want you to escort him to the Hozuki clan mansion and introduce him to your clan."
Rangetsu nodded his head and he bowed to the Mizukage. He then replied to him, saying, "As you wish, Mizukage-sama."
The Third Mizukage then waved his hand dismissively and said, "Good, you all may leave."
Then they all bowed respectfully and left the Mizukage's office.
