The world fasinated Him, pushing Him to explore it's wonders. Years and years of exploration had led Him to the greatest find known to mankind.

Year 7912.

5894 years from the important year of 2018, the year where a new race was discovered. The Axtiz.

5894 years until He was the one to find proof of where they lived. 3593.302 miles below the surface. Hundreds of years of digging.

And yet, His greatest discovery...

Led to his death.

"Mei-Chan, please actually try to kill some people. Or at least injure them."

Mei Terumī. A auburn haired girl with large seafome green eyes. She wore a simple blue shinobi shirt with dark grey shorts and fishnet tights, regular shinobi sandles on her feet.

'Must this insufferable woman be so annoying?' Mei scowled as she was ushered out of the compound.

It had taken her merely minutes to reach the academy, the entire building covered with children. Many teachers had pulled certain students aside as they began to explain how the graduation ceremony would be done.

Kirigakure No Sato. Currently nicknamed Chigiri No Sato. Home of the Kiri no Shinobigatana Shichinin Shū.

"May everyone please gather around for the graduation ceremony." The nineteen year old Mizukage called out, his arms crossed. Yagura Karatachi, the Yondaime Mizukage.

His pupiless pink eyes scanned the crowd before lifting his hook cane and waved it. "May the graduation ceremony begin."

A few students yelled out in shock due to the lack of explanation their Mizukage gave them, earning them their deaths.

Mei disapeared into her own mist, her hands forced into quick hand signs. 'Where does this exam remind me of?'

"Congratulations, Mei-Chan." Niko Terumī greeted her only child with a smile, holding a simple dish of sashimi.

"Thank you, mother."

A bloody hand clutched a hitai-ate as Mei stepped into the house, slipping her sandles off.

"How was the ceremony?" Niko asked as she put down the dish on the table, waiting for Mei to sit.

"Bloody," Mei answered quietly. "Mother," She sat at the table and lifted chopsticks slowly.

"Yes, Mei-Chan?" Niko turned around to continue preparing for her husband to return from his S-rank mission.

"I do not wish to be a kunochi," Niko almost dropped a plate. "I wish to explore."

"E-Explore...?"

"I wish to be an archaeologist." Mei annouced, swallowing a piece of salmon.

It was quiet for a few minutes until Niko spoke up. "No."

Mei nodded slowly, glaring slightly. 'Like a wench like you would stop me.'

"Just make it up to Jounin rank and I will allow you to do whatever you wish," Niko proposed, sighing under her breath.

"Understood." 'Stupid wench.'
