CHAPTER 163: CHAPTER 163: LITTLE GIRL, YOU WILL REGRET THIS SOONER OR LATER!

Finally, they had entered the Land of Water, drawing ever closer to Kirigakure.

Along the way,

Zabuza had inquired numerous times about how to assassinate the Mizukage, hinting more than once about the helper the girl had mentioned.

Yet, the girl remained vague, smiling and deflecting his questions.

Her air of mystery,

ironically, made Zabuza feel more reassured.

Indeed, the relationship between them was quite fragile;

he could easily betray her during their operation.

That she harbored this concern only made her seem a bit more reliable.

Nonetheless, it was a tad bewildering...

How could such a young girl be capable of pulling off something so unimaginable?

And her astonishing strength...

Zabuza glanced at the girl, who barely touched the ground in her movement,

and a flicker of astonishment appeared in his eyes.

"What a freak."

He cursed inwardly.

But just at that moment, the girl turned her head suddenly,

her smile unwavering as she tilted her head, fixing her gaze on him.

"Mr. Zabuza, if you speak ill of someone behind their back,

you might just get chopped into pieces."

Qingchuan smiled.

Zabuza’s eyes widened in shock, but he forced himself to regain his composure,

averting his gaze from the girl.

"Quickly speak your plan... we are almost entering the surveillance perimeter of Kirigakure."

He spoke hurriedly, uncertainty apparent in his tone.

Qingchuan turned his head, sensing the situation ahead with raised brows.

There were indeed quite a few people.

Even after being worn down by Tobi, Kirigakure was still one of the Five Great Shinobi Countries.

A direct assault would clearly be unwise...

Fortunately, he had a very loyal partner.

"The plan? Just focus on your own tasks."

Qingchuan continued with an air of mystery.

As for a real plan...

It was simply to draw the Mizukage out or create an opportunity for Zabuza to see him.

But stating this outright might lead Zabuza to consider abandoning the mission entirely.

Qingchuan also couldn’t be bothered to concoct a dependable strategy...

Considering he was preparing for a head-on confrontation with Yagura,

assassinating the Mizukage would inevitably involve direct conflict.

So, he could only trick Zabuza into putting in his effort...

"What do I need to do?"

Zabuza perked up, curiosity piqued regarding how this "freak" intended to carry out the assassination of the Mizukage.

"All you need to do is ensure you can see the Mizukage... of course, luring him out would be even better."

Qingchuan said nonchalantly, as though it were trivial.

"As for anything else, don’t worry about it."

"With your level of skill, just cheering him on will suffice."

While coaxing Zabuza, Qingchuan was also giving him a dose of harsh reality.

Zabuza’s expression darkened immediately.

But after some consideration, he realized he likely couldn’t overpower this girl,

and though angered, he gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement.

"Alright... then how should I notify you...?"

His voice trailed off.

To Zabuza’s astonishment, the girl suddenly vanished into thin air, leaving no trace!

He immediately scanned the surroundings.

Nothing...

His face darkened further.

Zabuza slammed his fist against a nearby tree, a mix of humiliation and fury burning in his eyes!

"Damn it!"

He suddenly found himself at the entrance of a public restroom in a park.

Digging into his pocket, he pulled out a few sheets of toilet paper, stuffing them in!

He had held off for so long,

and that little girl’s blade had been so close; thankfully, he managed to hold back.

Zabuza felt a small sense of relief.

Meanwhile, Qingchuan felt disgusted...

Here he was, preparing to assassinate the Mizukage, yet he still found the time to use the restroom?

No wonder he couldn’t make any major progress!

This was just... too unreliable!

Qingchuan was fuming internally...

He glanced at the distant building,

already feeling the urge to burst in and wreak havoc everywhere!

However...

At that moment, he spotted a small figure rummaging through a trash can nearby, drawing his attention.

It was a child...

disheveled but appearing quite clean.

Even while searching through the trash, they were careful not to dirty their clothes.

Most importantly,

the child’s features were remarkably delicate, akin to that of a little girl.

But the contour that resonated with Qingchuan’s memories allowed him to recognize the little one instantly:

Haku.

A boy.

A fellow comrade.
