Chapter 25 - 25: People In Water Country Have Poor Eyesight


The ship arrived in the Country of Water.

On the way, Zabuza did not test Uehara Naraku again so he is not sure whether the name of Hoshigaki Kisame in his mouth was real.

If it is not Hoshigaki Kisame, is it Hozuki Mangetsu?

But Hozuki Mangetsu is a genius and has a high chance of becoming the fifth Mizukage. Would he be willing to take the risk in assassinating the fourth Mizukage?

Out of the three current Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Hidden Mist, Momochi Zabuza still believes that only he wants to assassinate the fourth Mizukage Yagura, Hozuki Mangetsu and Hoshigaki Kisame seem to be very loyal. If he got it wrong, then they might destroy his plan.

After they arrive in the country of water, Zabuza took the initiative to speak: “I can only help you provide information of Hoshigaki Kisame whereabouts. I will not take you to see him and even if I take you to him, you won’t believe me.”

“Well, Zabuza-sama reputation is worrying.”

Uehara Naraku frowned and nodded, regardless of Zabuza’s ugly expression he continued softly: “Then let’s make an appointment for our next meeting! The time is three days later, and the location is here!”

“Okay.”

He agreed to his proposal.

Momochi Zabuza is willing to help, not because he is afraid to die, but because he saw Uehara’s strength and wanted to take advantage of it.

Hoshigaki Kisame is a ninja who is most loyal to the fourth Mizukage in the entire Kirigakure. If Uehara can occupy Hoshigaki Kisame, Zabuza can immediately start the assassination plan of the Mizukage.

In the entire Kirigakure, only the idiot Hoshigaki Kisame is willing to protect the Mizukage Yagura.

It’s a rare opportunity.

“Then I wish us a happy cooperation.”

Uehara Naraku said to Zabuza and stretched out his hand.

Zabuza glared at him and did not shake hands with him instead he said in a cold voice: “We are not cooperating, I just provide you a piece of information.”

“That’s a pity…”

Uehara Naraku sighed and said with a faint expression: “Before parting, I want to remind you that although I like tricking people, I don’t like others to trick me.”

“…I know.”

Zabuza slowly answers and secretly cursed in his heart, this kid looks young but he’s not easy to trick!

Uehara Naraku is not worried that Zabuza will lie to him. Even if this guy brought a group of ninjas to encircle him, Uehara is confident enough to escape. As long as he is invincible with Sacred Moment skill, he can use mayfly to sneaked into the ground and escaped.

There are still three days before their next meeting. Since I have come to the Country of Water, then I have to complete some missions before returning.

In Water Country, the two most popular characters are Terumi Mei and Haku. Uehara Naraku can meet the five generations of Mizukage in the future. So, he wanted to try finding Haku who has Ice Release Kekkei Genkai.

The current Haku should be wandering and begging in the streets of Water Country, carefully hiding his identity as a descendant of Ice Release Kekkei Genkai.

His range of activities is a bit large.

Uehara Naraku looked at the simple mission related to Haku on the system panel, and he started looking for the dirtiest, messiest, and worst places in Water Country for three days. In the end, he found no trace of Haku.

Uehara Naraku left the garbage dump in a daze and decided to temporarily give up searching Haku and wait for Zabuza. Suddenly, brown hair came out of his sight.

The teenager slowly raised his head following the strands of brown hair and saw a gentle face young female ninja with long brown hair. She looked at Uehara with a smile, spread out her palms, and like magic, a pack of biscuits appears.

The woman bent down, give the biscuits in her hand, and said: “Little guy this is for you, hurry up and eat it!”

“Ok?”

Uehara Naraku is full of question marks.

This young woman with long brown hair is the next Mizukage Terumi Mei. Uehara Naraku did not expect to meet her at this time and place.

The question is why is Terumi Mei giving him cookies?

Uehara Naraku tilted his head and looked at the two ninjas behind Terumi Mei. One of the ninjas has flushed face and looking at the female ninja with admiration: “Ahhhhh…Terumi-sama is so gentle to poor people!”

The other ninja’s face was a little hard to say: “If it weren’t for Terumi-sama’s ability which is too scary, many people in the village will surely admire her!”

The air suddenly fell silent.

“Shut up, you’re so noisy!”

The originally gentle Terumi Mei when heard the slander of one of her subordinates become furious, she turned around and kicked that person away.

Terumi Mei coldly glanced at another ninja who had become sweaty, she snorted coldly. She then fiddled with her long hair and turned her head again at Uehara Naraku, her face recovered the gentle and pleasant appearance.

The speed of her face change is shameful!

The brown-haired female ninja seemed to feel that her behavior was a little outrageous, she walked towards Uehara Naraku with her tall figure. She took Uehara’s arm then put the cookie in his palm and rubbed his head affectionately.

“Little brother, don’t be afraid, sister is a good person!”

Terumi Mei showed a warm motherly smile, squatting down, and softly said: “Are you hungry for a long time? These are all for you, hurry up and eat it!”

“…”

Uehara Naraku listened to her urging and slowly stuffed a biscuit in his mouth, his head was blank. Could it be that he was so handsome that attracted Terumi’s attention?

Seeing the teenager eating the biscuits, Terumi nodded with satisfaction, and continued softly: “Little guy, do you… have a home?”

“…”

Uehara Naraku shook his head in silence, and then he nodded again. It seems that Akatsuki is also his home, right? Whether it’s Konan or Pain, they are very good to him.

“I know.”

Terumi Mei patted his head she didn’t know what he’s thinking right now, she sighed and said, “Don’t go picking food in the garbage dump. If you have trouble in the future, you can go to Kirigakure and find Terumi Mei, it’s my name remember it okay?”

“…remember”

Uehara Naraku took a bite of the biscuit, and his face gradually became unsightly.

How did this woman come up with the thought that he’s picking food in the garbage dump? He is a rich man with assets of 100 million exploding tags!

“That’s good.”

Terumi Mei nodded in satisfaction then turned around and took her men away: “Okay, let’s go.”

One of the ninjas praised her: “I have never seen Terumi-sama so gentle! If the people in the village can see half, no even one-tenth of Terumi-sama’s kindness to that little guy just now, many people will surely line up to woo Terumi-sama!”

“Huh, there is no good man in the village!”

Terumi Mei raised her head disdainfully, her voice gradually faded away but Uehara could still hear them vaguely: “Don’t you think that little guy is so interesting? a stray kid looking for food in a garbage dump but his clothes are so rough but kept very clean…”

“…”

Click!

Uehara Naruko squeezed his palms abruptly and suddenly used force to crush the biscuits in his palms into pieces. This woman’s eyesight was so bad, how did she discover that the fourth Mizukage were affected by illusions, and how did she become the Mizukage in the future?

SWISH!

When Uehara Naraku’s depression was still in his heart, a figure suddenly rushed in front of him, grabbed the broken biscuit in his hand, and ran away quickly!

“…”

Uehara Naraku was stunned, then glanced at the gobble stray not far from him, and couldn’t help twitch the corner of his eyes.

Are the people in the Water Country so insightless?

Someone dared to rob his things!
