Chapter 44: Chapter 44: The Little Thoughts of the Hozuki Clan Leader
Along the way, Suigetsu was very excited when thinking about the fight with Zabuza Momochi.
Kaito didn't want to discourage Suigetsu's enthusiasm, he just hoped that Suigetsu would still be able to smile by then.
To be honest, Kaito was still somewhat interested in the fight between Zabuza Momochi and Suigetsu.
Although Suigetsu is a chatterbox, he didn't make Kaito feel bored along the way. After all, Kimimaro is a completely taciturn person.
Kimimaro will never speak unless you ask him.
The three of them were traveling very quickly, and Kaito would occasionally speed up the pace.
So, within a few days, everyone was already standing at the gate of the Mist Village.
"Mist Village, I miss it so much."
Hozuki Suigetsu looked at the gate of the Mist Village in front of him and couldn't help but sigh.
At this time, Kimimaro, who was standing by, also raised his head and looked around. In Kimimaro's memory, his impression of the Mist Village was only that of his childhood.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Two sounds of wind came from the direction of the gate!
Then two men wearing Mist Village ninja uniforms appeared in front of Kaito.
"Elder, you are back."
The two ninjas spoke respectfully after seeing Kaito
Kaito nodded slightly and asked curiously.
Kaito : "Are Ringo and the others back?"
"Not yet, Elder."
After hearing what Kaito said, one of the ninjas quickly spoke up.
Kaito nodded. It seemed that Ringo and the others had encountered some trouble. Ranmaru's bloodline limit was very strong in terms of assistance.
However, Ringo and Utakata are both very strong
Watching the figures of Kaito and the other two gradually disappear, the two ninjas slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Who are those two people following the elder?" a ninja asked curiously.
"I don't recognize the one in white. As for the other one, he seems to be from the Hozuki clan... I remember now, it's Hozuki Suigetsu!"
"No wonder it feels familiar. It looks like the village is going to be lively during this period." Another older ninja's frown suddenly relaxed and he chuckled.
Mizukage Office.
Mei Terumi blinked her eyes and looked at Hozuki Suigetsu, who looked a little frightened, and Kimimaro, who had an expressionless face, standing in front of her.
After a while, Mei Terumi raised her head and looked at Kaito who was lazily sitting on the sofa.
Mei : "You mean these two guys, one is the long-lost Hozuki Suigetsu of the Hozuki clan, and the other is the only remaining descendant of the Kaguya clan who has been exterminated."
It's fine for Hozuki Suigetsu, but what about Kimimaro? Wasn't it said that his clan was exterminated back then?
Mei Terumi was a little confused. Kaito went out and brought back two people, and the identities of these two people were somewhat special.
Kaito shrugged and suddenly asked.
Kaito : "The base of the Kaguya clan should still be there, right?"
Mei Terumi was slightly stunned, then nodded and said.
Mei : "The people of the Kaguya clan are warlike by nature, so their base is not arranged inside the village, but in a remote location far from the main gate of the Mist Village."
Kaito : "In that case, I'll leave Kizuki to you. Come on, Kimimaro. Let's go and take a look at the base of your Bamboo Clan." Kaito smiled softly, stood up and called out to Kimimaro.
A glimmer of color appeared in Kimimaro's eyes. Is this the base of our Kaguya clan?
Everyone has a root deep in their heart, regardless of experience or circumstances.
Especially for Kimimaro now, he needs a place to rely on deep in his heart.
Kaito could learn from Orochimaru and turn himself into Kimimaro's support, but Kaito disdains to do so.
It's not just because Kimimaro is the descendant of his former best friend.
Moreover, people like Kimimaro can be said to be the only few blank spaces left on the gray-black paper of the entire ninja world.
Isn't it sad for people like Kimimaro to live in such a world?
Mei Terumi watched Uto take Kimimaro away, and a gleam of light flashed in her eyes.
Lord Kaito seems to think highly of the young man named Kimimaro, but then again, this is also normal.
"Um... well, Lord Mizukage, how about I go with you to the Kaguya Clan's base to take a look?"
Hozuki Suigetsu looked at Kaitou who left him without hesitation and his face turned bitter.
After hearing what Suigetsu said, Mei Terumi looked down at the three ninja swords on the table, and a smile appeared on her face involuntarily.
"No need , let's save the trouble for later."
Mei Terumi waved her hand and spoke with a chuckle.
Seeing the smile on Mei Terumi's face, Suigetsu couldn't help but feel a chill on her back, and suddenly realized that coming back was a wrong decision.
Ding! Ding!
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Then, a middle-aged figure walked in slowly.
Seeing the person walking in, Suigetsu trembled all over, and was so scared that he seemed to be slightly hydrated.
"The head of the Hozuki clan, I greet the Mizukage-sama. I would like to trouble the Mizukage-sama regarding the matter of Suigetsu."
The head of the Hozuki clan spoke respectfully to Mei Terumi, with a hint of gratitude in his tone.
Mei Terumi narrowed her eyes slightly, chuckled and shook her head.
The chief of the Hozuki clan in front of her did not express his gratitude as an individual ninja, but as the Hozuki clan. Obviously, this was more than just a simple thanks.
"I didn't contribute much to this matter. If anyone wants to thank someone, it should be Lord Kaito." says Mei
The voice faintly entered the ears of the Hozuki Chief, and a look of surprise appeared on his face, but there was no change in his eyes.
Before coming, he already understood most of the situation and naturally knew that Suigetsu was brought back by Lord Kaito.
But even though he knew it, he still had to show it, otherwise how could he establish a relationship with the Mizukage in front of him.
In the past, the Hozuki clan had always lived in isolation from the world, but now the situation in the entire Mist Village is different from before.
The Mizukage Terumi Mei in front of them is no longer the Mizukage that everyone could control before. Now standing behind Terumi Mei is Lord Kaito
The fact that Lord Kaito lives with Mei Terumi is no secret in the entire Mist Village.
With his eyes, he could naturally see that Mei Terumi seemed to have a blind admiration for Lord Kaito. Of course, there might be something else in it.
Although Lord Kaito's seniority is frighteningly high, if you really count his age, he is actually not that old. After all, the period when he was sealed was a blank period.
In this case, it is better to invest early. Compared to Lord Kaito, the Mizukage Mei Terumi in front of us is much easier to approach.
