Naruto: If I ask you to kill Sasuke, you will become a succubus?

But I always think of Naruto.

Whenever I was alone, I would think about the hurtful words I had said and the hurt expression on his face.

Whenever I think about how he will be in pain, wronged, and sad, and that all of this is caused by me, I have to do something to divert my attention.

Maybe Naruto will never forgive me.

Perhaps I have completely severed the deep bond that I spent six years and worked so hard to build.

It's hard to make a relationship, but it's all too easy to destroy it.

I can only pray that Naruto will cheer up soon, forget about me, and then concentrate on training with Master Jiraiya without distraction, and finally become very strong.

His chakra can create life and make my dreams come true. He can definitely change destiny and save the world.

Definitely.

In order to keep myself busy and not have time to think about Naruto, I felt that I was more anxious to sneak into the Hidden Mist Village than Zabuza.

He needed to contact his former subordinates, which would take some time, and I had to urge him once a day, which made him laugh and cry, feeling both angry and amused.

He asked me irritably, "Do you think killing the Mizukage is as easy as buying cabbage on the street?"

Luckily, besides Zabuza, I can also train to take the root.

After a few days, although it was still difficult for him to fight independently, at least he was able to control the nano-poison insects independently.

Bai Yiyan would still go to the black market to purchase intelligence. As Zabuza's plan became more and more perfect day by day, the information we needed about the Hidden Mist Village became more and more accurate.

However, Zabuza was very cautious because some villages would deliberately spread some seemingly false information, which was disguised as very important secret information. Once someone obtained it, they would be targeted by the Hidden Mist Village.

It took us some time to gather the necessary intelligence, and it took Zabuza some more time to determine whether the intelligence was true or false.

Finally, by the time we were ready to sneak into the Hidden Mist Village, Aburame Tone's combat ability had at least recovered to the level of a Chunin.

In addition to the special properties of the nano-poison insects, if they catch the enemy by surprise, Zabuza said that they would definitely be of great use.

Zabuza gave each of us a mask of the Anbu of the Kirigakure pursuit force and a forehead protector of the Kirigakure village.

I tied it on my forehead and looked at myself in the mirror for a long time, but I still felt that it was a little weird.

Fortunately, with the ANBU mask on, it can no longer be seen.

Zabuza said to us, "We will disguise ourselves as a team of ANBU returning to the village after completing a mission. I am your captain, Gaara. Just like before, wrap up the Aburame and bring her in with your sand. However, there is no puppeteer in the Hidden Mist Village. Change your sand into a shape like a broadsword. It doesn't need to be so thin. Hoshigaki Kisame's Samehada is also a round broadsword."

Gaara did as he said and began to adjust the shape of the sand behind him.

He looked at Neji and me carefully again, "As long as Hyuga Neji keeps wearing the mask and doesn't show those byakugan eyes, there won't be much of a problem."

After everything was ready, Zabuza's face showed a very complicated expression, "Then... follow me."

When he turned around and led the way for us, I could see that his muscles were stiff and his whole body seemed to be trembling slightly.

I asked curiously, "Mr. Zabuza, are you afraid?"

"Scared?" Zabuza trembled even more, but he turned his head and grinned at me: "I am... too excited!"

……

Our infiltration process went smoothly. The ninja guarding the entrance and exit of the Hidden Mist Village seemed to be one of Zabuza's accomplices. When we passed each other, I saw him exchange a knowing look with Zabuza.

As we moved away from the gate, I couldn't help but ask, "What will happen to him if we fail?"

Zabuza spat at me, "Don't ask for a beating. You start by saying something so unlucky!"

"Is he risking his life to help you?"

"Yes." Zabuza looked at me deeply and said, "So we must succeed, Chaolu."

Carrying the expectations of others - this is something I am most familiar with.

Sometimes I feel stressed, but more often than not, it makes me more motivated.

Because that makes me feel very valuable, that I am needed, and that I am important.

"I will." I said firmly, "After all, you promised me that you would make me the next Mizukage."

Although Zabuza was wearing a mask and I couldn't see his expression, I felt that he must be smiling.

Maybe it was because the atmosphere around him was a little lighter, or maybe it was because his posture was a little more relaxed...

Anyway, I just felt that he must have laughed.

Gaara suddenly asked, "What if Zabuza lives to be eighty or ninety?"

I was stunned: "Huh?"

Neji also said, "Indeed. It would be better to discuss a definite time. For example, after becoming the Mizukage, he can retire at the age of forty, or after serving as the Mizukage for five years, he can give up the position to Asaka. This would be better."

Zabuza: “Huh?”

Bai Ye smiled: "By then, Mr. Zabuza will be old, and it would be nice for him to abdicate and enjoy a peaceful life."

"Hey, Shiro! Which side are you from?!"

"The Wave Country is a great place to retire, former Mizukage," I also joked, "After you retire, how about going to the Wave Country to spend your remaining years? I will visit you often."

"What?! I haven't even become the Mizukage yet, but I've already become the ex?!"

As we go deeper into Kirigakure, if our flaws are discovered, we will surely face a fierce battle.

But if the situation becomes more and more dangerous and we become more and more nervous, our bodies will become stiff and our minds will go blank. It is better for us to talk and laugh, maintain a certain sense of relaxation, and stay calm and rational.

"arrive."

Zabuza bypassed the center of the Hidden Mist Village and took us to a remote, rarely visited place.

Zabuza's informant in the Hidden Mist Village revealed that the Fourth Mizukage, Karotachi Yagura, had become increasingly withdrawn and strange in recent years, and he often recuperated in a hot spring villa in the mountains.

I whispered, "It's so foggy here..."

Zabuza seemed to grin silently: "It won't be difficult for that guy from the Hyuga family, right?"

Neji remained silent, but I thought he must have opened his Byakugan.

Gaara whispered, "There is another Ao in the Hidden Mist Village who possesses the Byakugan. It would be best if we could kill him as well."

Zabuza said directly: "If he comes to get in the way now, I will of course support killing him. But if I become the Mizukage, I don't want the Byakugan of the Hidden Mist Village to be taken away by you. Asaka will become the next Mizukage in the future, and that will also be her Byakugan."

Neji said calmly: "She has me, that's enough."

"Tsk." Zabuza said unhappily, "Have you found the location of Karatachi Yagura?"

Ningci said: "Found it."

"Very good," Zabuza drew out the beheading sword behind him: "It's better to strike first... It's best to succeed before the opponent can react!"

We quickly approached the direction of the current Mizukage and soon rushed into the room, where we saw a figure lying on the bed.

Zabuza rushed to the front and slashed with his sword. Someone in the corner was forced out of the shadows by his sword and uttered a light "Huh": "You actually knew I was here?"

The figure on the bed disappeared with a "bang", obviously some kind of clone technique.

Looking at the man in front of me, I hesitated: "Who is the Fourth Mizukage, Karatachi Yagura?"

Zabuza said in a deep voice: "The short guy is Yagura Karatachi. I have never seen this weird guy wearing a mask before."

A man who was obviously an adult was wrapped in a black robe and had an orange swirling mask on his face. In front of him stood a boy who looked to be a minor.

No matter who comes, at first glance they will probably think that the man is the Mizukage's age.

But...he is a bit secretive.

The man said, "That beheading sword, if you don't cut it off...? I didn't expect you to come back again."

I stared at his mask—the orange, swirly one.

Very similar to the Ah Fei mentioned in the scroll!

But such masks are not unique. If I see a mask and think he is Ah Fei, what is the difference between seeing a mask of Kirigakure ANBU and thinking he is Bai?

I asked, "Who are you?"

"Me?" The man's voice revealed absolute confidence and ease. "If you knew my identity, you would definitely die here today. Ah, but it doesn't make any difference. You will definitely die here today anyway."

Zabuza sneered: "Then let's give it a try!"
