Mizukage... close to death?
To be honest, upon hearing this news, Kisame felt... somewhat numb.
He couldn't understand his boss's thoughts or the seemingly endless operations.
The only thing he could do...
Was quietly watch and appreciate this little girl's performance...
"Mizukage is close to death?"
Pain raised an eyebrow, not dwelling on it for long. He directly looked at the girl.
"Then you should hurry and leave the Land of Water... As for everything else, don't worry about it."
As the Mizukage of the Mist, once he died, the entire village would undoubtedly go into a state of alert.
Nagato had never considered that the girl might tell a lie...
At that moment, he wanted her to leave quickly. That was all.
As for other matters, such as capturing Tailed Beasts, that was not the girl's concern.
Konan wouldn't agree to that either.
"Okay!"
"I'll go back with Mr. Kisame right now!"
"Safe travels, Lord Pain!"
Qingchuan quickly waved his hand and said.
Pain frowned again, feeling something strange.
Why did he have the impression that the girl was trying to drive him away?
Was it an illusion?
Suddenly.
In the Land of Rain, Nagato furrowed his brow.
The distance was too far; his chakra control had reached its limit.
Though he was risking a temporary loss of contact, Pain could still remain for a while.
But unless it was a special situation... Nagato didn't want to expose Pain's secrets.
Thus, using the last of his chakra, he focused on Pain and looked back at the girl once more.
"Come back quickly...
"Konan is also waiting for you."
With that, Pain vanished in a cloud of smoke...
In the meantime.
Qingchuan's respectful demeanor instantly vanished, his brows raising as he snapped his fingers.
"Everyone gather!"
"Let's go!"
Aiming in a specific direction.
Qingchuan directly grabbed Haku's little hand, preparing to leave.
"Uh... where are we going?"
Kisame, coming back to his senses from his numbness, asked in confusion.
So...
Where were they headed?
After the girl spouted a lot of nonsense with her eyes wide open...
What was the goal, exactly?
Kisame was puzzled.
"Of course, we're going back to the base! Silly!"
Qingchuan rolled his eyes.
Seriously... should he not be very smart?
Was he too dumbfounded from the earlier scare that he didn't understand such a simple point?
However.
Upon getting the answer, Kisame's expression was clearly even more bewildered.
"But we're not heading in the direction to leave the Land of Water, little sister."
"Are you lost?"
As soon as he asked, Kisame felt a bit foolish.
A girl who could find this place without alarming the Mist couldn't possibly be clueless.
Yet they were indeed not heading toward the exit of the Land of Water...
Kisame suddenly thought that his brain was overloaded.
So tiring.
"Poor child, staying too long in the Land of Water has clearly dulled your mind."
Qingchuan stared at Kisame for a long time.
Finally, he could only sigh, filled with pity...
"Just follow quietly, and wait until I have the Mizukage dead."
"I'll take you back to the base right away, okay?"
Kisame's face went stiff.
So,
The Mizukage was in poor health and supposedly close to death.
Was that the meaning?
Kisame's heart grew numb once again.
However, Samehada on his back seemed to perk up.
Clearly thinking that Qingchuan was talking to it.
In this way, Qingchuan's little team slowly set off, albeit stumbling.
And, of course, their target was the notorious culprit behind Bloody Mist, Yagura!
Zabuza Momochi proved to be reliable.
At the appointed time, Zabuza indeed appeared in that park.
However, this time, Zabuza clearly wanted to keep his distance from somewhere.
Hiding behind a large tree, he waited quietly, appearing somewhat anxious.
His fingers nervously tapped against the tree trunk, occasionally looking back.
As if someone were chasing him.
"Didn't expect Mr. Zabuza to be quite punctual!"
Suddenly, that familiar voice rang out, accompanied by two figures Zabuza recognized all too well, alongside another familiar, even more recognizable, strong man!
"What are you doing here?!"
Both Zabuza and Kisame exclaimed in surprise.
The two were already acquainted.
As members of the Mist's silent killing special unit, Kisame had often interacted with Zabuza.
"I see, so you have a former member of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen as an ally; no wonder you're so confident, little girl."
Zabuza coldly fixed his gaze on Kisame, his voice laced with mockery.
Kisame shrugged, responding indifferently.
"Mr. Zabuza is quite impressive too."
Qingchuan smiled.
In his spiritual sensing, many auras were rapidly approaching!
Moreover, their strengths were not weak; the strongest one was even faster than Kisame!
It must be Yagura!
"A buy one get one free team; trading with Mr. Zabuza is always a delightful experience."
Qingchuan said slowly.
Zabuza had indeed fulfilled his promise.
Though Qingchuan didn't know how he achieved it.
However.
Yagura was drawn over!
And there were those two familiar auras behind him... Mei Terumī and Hōzuki Mangetsu had also followed!
Not to mention how many other upper ninjas were also present!
Qingchuan felt somewhat excited.
With his spiritual energy heightened, he slowly looked in the direction of the approaching group.
"Kisame, keep an eye on the little guy and that bandaged man.
Once I'm done here...
"Before we leave, remember to break that bandaged man's legs!"
