Chapter 271

When Bee woke up again, his still-dazed mind was suddenly stimulated by the scene in front of him.

"What is this furry thing..."

"Is this a cat?!"

A furry head moved back and forth in front of Bee, and a pair of fleshy paws poked and touched him from time to time, seemingly checking his condition.

Bee looked at the furry head in front of him, and his dazed mind suddenly cleared up.

"The patient's condition is recovering very well; with Brother Neko-nosuke's intervention, there won't be any problems."

"Don't worry."

The cat doctor wearing a white coat said to Samui beside him.

"The cat talked!"

Hearing this, Bee instantly became spirited. He looked at the ninja cat doctor beside him with incredulous eyes and subconsciously rubbed his eyes, seemingly wanting to prove that all this was not his hallucination.

"Thank you, doctor."

Samui said with a somewhat strange expression; no matter how many times she saw the Hidden Mist's cat doctor, she found it hard to accept.

Especially when Samui saw the pointed ears on the cat doctor's head flickering "bling-bling," a fiery desire appeared in her eyes.

She seemed very eager to try the feel of those cat ears.

"Meow!"

Seeing Samui's gaze, the cat doctor jumped backward suddenly, looking at Samui vigilantly.

Clearly, this was not the first time he had seen such a gaze; in the past, whenever he saw such a gaze, his pair of ears would suffer a disaster.

"That's the patient's situation!"

"If there's nothing else, I'm leaving!"

Just like that, the cat doctor in the white coat quickly left Samui's side.

"So cute, what a pity..."

Samui's eyes were a bit regretful, she said silently in her heart.

At this time, Bee had completely recovered. He held his forehead, remembering everything after the battle with Zabuza ended.

"Where is this?"

Bee asked Samui beside him while holding his head, struggling to climb up from the bed.

"This is the Hidden Mist's Ninja Cat Hospital."

Samui explained to Bee while helping him up slowly.

"Ninja Cat Hospital?"

Bee muttered to himself, his eyes carrying obvious surprise.

"Yes."

Samui naturally knew what Bee wanted to ask, so she nodded again.

"So that means..."

"The cat just now wasn't a hallucination?"

Bee asked subconsciously, his tone still carrying a bit of surprise.

"Of course."

Samui covered her mouth and giggled; it was indeed very rare for Bee, who was always majestic in the Cloud Village, to show such an expression.

"That cat is a doctor?"

Bee asked again, his expression much calmer this time.

"Yes."

Hearing Samui's answer, Bee sighed slightly.

"Hidden Mist, truly a magical place..."

After finishing his silent exclamation, even Bee, who was always known for being tough and firm, showed a hint of fatigue and confusion in his eyes.

He failed.

He had overestimated himself too much and underestimated the Hidden Mist too much.

The Hidden Mist was too strong, so strong that Bee lost some confidence.

He could tell that Zabuza, who had taken action, probably had a lower status in the Hidden Mist village than the three people watching from the sidelines.

Bee vaguely remembered, especially the handsome man with a feminine appearance, the pressure he brought to Bee was still fresh in his memory.

The people of the Hidden Mist are all monsters...

After this battle, such a deep impression had been left in Bee's heart.

Thinking of this, a helpless bitter smile appeared on Bee's face; now that things had come to this, he could only swallow the bitter fruit of failure.

Since the Fourth Mizukage of the Hidden Mist intentionally didn't want to see them, they had no choice but to head home. Bee decided to bear the consequences of failure.

After all, it was a challenge he had launched as a desperate gamble; now that he had failed, he naturally had nothing to say.

Seeing the bitterness on Bee's face, Samui seemed to think of something, so she hurriedly said to Bee.

"Right, Bee."

"The Fourth Mizukage has agreed to see us!"

Samui hurriedly told Bee this news; the opportunity Bee had sought by fighting the Hidden Mist ninjas to the death had now been obtained.

"What?!"

Bee was shocked; he didn't expect the situation to take such a turn.

"The Fourth Mizukage promised me that day that once you recovered, he would be willing to meet us."

Samui said to Bee excitedly, a suspicious blush flashing on her face.

"How did you do it, Samui."

Bee looked at Samui in front of him excitedly, his expression full of joy.

As the saying goes, "Mountains and rivers may block the way, but there is another village in the shade of willows and flowers." This joy of regaining what was lost made Bee want to climb out of bed directly and go see Mizunuki Ryosuke.

"It's just, it's just..."

Facing Bee's inquiry, the blush on Samui's face became even more obvious.

At this moment, the only thing lingering in Samui's mind was Ryosuke's ambiguous words from before.

It wasn't that Samui was narcissistic, but Mizunuki Ryosuke's various hints all seemed to indicate that the reason he would meet the Cloud trio was because of Samui.

And Mizunuki Ryosuke had no relation to Samui, so why would he favor Samui?

Thinking back and forth, Samui could only find the answer in the mirror.

Although she was still young, the reflection in the mirror already showed that she would definitely be a great beauty in time.

Thinking back and forth, Samui felt that only her own appearance could make Mizunuki Ryosuke look at her differently, thus obtaining these favors.

Otherwise...

She really couldn't think of anything else.

Seeing the red clouds on Samui's face, Bee seemed to think of something, his expression becoming incomparably strange and painful.

As the next generation of Kage cultivated by the village, Bee was naturally not that simple.

Seeing Samui's shy expression, his thoughts had already reached something "deeper."

"Thank you for your hard work, Samui..."

"The village will not forget what you have sacrificed for the village!"

Bee said with a painful face, seemingly mistakenly believing that Samui had adopted some kind of "power-for-sex" transaction to exchange for the Fourth Mizukage's meeting with the three.

"I!"

"It's not like that!"

Seeing this, how could Samui not understand that Bee had misunderstood, so she immediately waved her hands with a red face, trying to curb Bee's stray thoughts.

But for someone as stubborn as Bee, his stray thoughts were like a derailed train; how could they be easily pulled back to the right track?

The more Samui showed such an expression, the more Bee was convinced of his conjecture.

"Don't worry, Samui!"

"I will double the humiliation the Hidden Mist has given the Cloud!"

"One day, I will take all of this back!"

Bee said righteously to Samui; this thought clearly could no longer be considered a derailed train, but had already rushed out of the earth and entered lunar orbit.

"To think that my Cloud would ever rely on selling women to exchange for opportunities?"

Bee lamented in his heart, while looking at Samui with an increasingly painful gaze, as if he were looking at a father and daughter who had been forced to lose their way and support the family.
