Chapter 265: Chapter 265: Sakumo Hatake Assassinating the Third Mizukage



Tsunade's face began turning red, and Minato wisely decided it was best to leave early.

So, he volunteered to take Nawaki home to rest.

Can you be any more cowardly? Takuya thought, rolling his eyes. As if Tsunade would actually eat you alive.

But Minato, pretending not to notice, hoisted Nawaki up and vanished from the room in an instant.

Tsk!

No doubt about it—he really is the fastest man in the shinobi world. When Minato decides to leave, he's gone in a flash.

"Feeling jealous?" Tsunade raised an eyebrow.

Takuya rolled his eyes again, "Yeah, right, as if you could learn the Flying Thunder God technique. We're on the same level, so let's not compare, okay?"

The Flying Thunder God technique, before all the legends started sprouting up, was practically like having a cheat code.

If Takuya had the talent to learn it, he'd gladly do so. But unfortunately, it wasn't within his grasp, which was just frustrating.

The opportunity was right there, but he simply couldn't learn it.

"By the way, I've heard people have been sending you flowers at the logistics department every day recently. What's it like, being chased after?" Takuya teased.

"Don't even mention it. It's a nightmare," Tsunade grumbled. "It's attracted a whole bunch of gossip, people whispering nonsense behind my back."

Just thinking about it put her in a foul mood.

After Nawaki got injured and she took over managing the logistics department to stop the higher-ups from meddling too much, Tsunade hadn't gone to the front lines during the war. This, of course, meant Kato Dan, who had never gotten over her, lost his chance.

In his pursuit of her, Kato tried everything he could, but Tsunade wasn't interested.

Taking a long gulp of her drink, Tsunade clenched her fist, venting, "I warned him last time- if he sends me anything again or asks me out for dinner, I'm going to punch him. He's been quiet for a while now, though. Maybe he finally gave up."

Despite chasing after her for years, which Tsunade had to admit showed perseverance she admired, there simply was no spark between them.

Meanwhile, in the Mizukage's office in the Village Hidden in the Mist, Yagura asked nervously, "Lord Mizukage, are you really alright?"

"I'm fine. I'll be done in a bit," the Third Mizukage replied from his spot on the toilet.

Yagura, who had been ordered to keep an eye on the Mizukage to prevent any more of his previous violent, mad fits, smiled weakly. "But you've been in there for two hours, my lord. Are you sure you're feeling well?"

After recovering from his earlier erratic state, the Third Mizukage had returned to normal, no longer going on murderous rampages.

However, now that he seemed to spend a concerning amount of time in the bathroom, Yagura had his doubts. It was strange, to say the least.

The Mizukage had taken to spending hours in the restroom, and Yagura couldn't help but overhear him muttering, cursing under his breath, "Why can't I go?"

Yagura had no idea if the Mizukage was constipated, but he was too scared to call the medical team to check on him.

"I'm fine, really. In fact, I feel younger than ever. Go ahead and rest; I'll be out soon."

"...As you command, my lord," Yagura hesitated but eventually decided to leave.

Guarding a restroom for days on end wasn't what he'd signed up for, and he had his own doubts about the situation.

The Third Mizukage's health seemed to be improving at an unnatural rate, given that he was supposed to be an old man, once drained by illness.

Yagura was growing increasingly suspicious with every passing day.

What Yagura didn't know was that the Third Mizukage was actually being controlled by Tobi, who had fused his body with Zetsu cells, which led to the bizarre changes in his condition. The Mizukage's biological functions had been altered, which is why he was having such a hard time in the bathroom.

Meanwhile, Sakumo Hatake, who had already infiltrated the Village Hidden in the Mist, was busy gathering intel.

During his mission, he discovered a shocking piece of information-the Third Mizukage had recovered.

Deciding to investigate further, Sakumo made his way to the Mizukage's office.

Sakumo, known for his skills in stealth and disguise, rivaled even Orochimaru in this area. After making sure his disguise was flawless, he successfully avoided the Mist's ANBU and infiltrated the Mizukage's office building-specifically, the restroom.

At that moment, the Third Mizukage was still struggling with his bathroom issues. There's an old saying, "Silence can be unsettling." That was exactly what happened when Sakumo slipped into the bathroom only to find the Mizukage sitting on the toilet.

Both men froze.

Neither had expected to encounter the other in such a situation.

For a moment, they simply stared at each other in shock.

It seemed like it was time to fight.

Why is my luck always this bad? Sakumo couldn't help but wonder.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

He felt frustrated at not sensing the Mizukage's presence in the restroom beforehand. He had

to admit he'd been careless this time.

What he didn't know was that the Mizukage's body, enhanced by Zetsu's cells, had become adept at hiding its presence.

Well, now that I've been discovered, I guess it's time to fight, Sakumo thought, dropping his disguise. He pulled out his White Fang short sword, which crackled with lightning chakra, and

lunged at the still-sitting Mizukage.

White Fang's Blade-Quick Draw Slash!

To make things worse, the Mizukage, who was still adjusting to his new body after being

controlled by Tobi, instinctively reacted like Zetsu rather than himself.

His first thought wasn't to fight back but to pull up his pants and flee.

BOOM!!!

A huge explosion rocked the second floor of the Mizukage's office, startling the Mist Village's ANBU who immediately rushed to the scene.

The explosion was like pouring water into a boiling pot of oil-the entire Mist Village was in

an uproar.
