The Great Hall of Kirigakure

Mei Terumi, the Fifth Mizukage, sat at the head of a grand table in the Great Hall of Kirigakure. The air was thick with tension as representatives from the other Ninja villages gathered around her, each with their own agendas and interests.

The room was adorned with banners and symbols of Kirigakure, reminding all who enter of the village's power and history. Mei herself was dressed in her traditional Mizukage attire, exuding an air of authority and strength. As the meeting was about to commence, she looked at those who had gathered with a cool, calculated gaze.

The representatives from the other villages took their seats around the table, their faces a mix of curiosity and suspicion. There was a moment of silence as they waited for Mei to speak, their eyes fixed on her, waiting for her to make the first move.

Mei, her face betraying no hint of emotion, rose from her seat and addressed the gathering. "Representatives from the Ninja villages, I thank you for coming today." Her voice was clear and commanding, echoing through the chamber. "We have important matters to discuss."

The representatives nodded in acknowledgement, their attention focused on Mei. They were keenly aware of the importance of this meeting and the potential implications for their own villages. One of the representatives, a tall, muscular man from the Hidden Sand village, raised his hand, seeking permission to speak.

Mei nodded and gestured for him to speak. "You may." She said, her gaze never leaving his face.

The representative from the Hidden Sand village spoke up, his voice booming through the room. "Mizukage Terumi, we appreciate your invitation to this meeting, but we come with some concerns. The recent tensions between our villages have not gone unnoticed, and we want to ensure that there is no further escalation of conflict."

Mei nodded, her expression not revealing anything. "I understand your concerns. Kirigakure is committed to maintaining peace and stability in the Ninja world. I invited you all here today to discuss ways to promote understanding and cooperation, preventing any more conflicts from arising."

She then briefly glances at You standing by next to the representatives of the hidden rain clan “Who are you?”
