Chapter 513: ...this is truly something I am willing to do myself!

Seeing this, Samui's face immediately paled in shock. She had not expected Bee's line of thinking to be so stubborn; it seemed that once he had set his mind on something, not even ten oxen could pull him back.

Realizing that her words had caused Bee to develop a serious misunderstanding, Samui immediately wanted to explain, but the topic was far too shameful. Even she herself did not understand why Mizunuki Ryosuke would give her the opportunity to have the three of them received.

Consequently, Samui had no idea where to begin her explanation. Her face grew redder and redder, until, looking like a completely boiled shrimp, she blurted out a sentence she would regret incessantly.

"Don't be like this, Bee, things are not what you think!"

Samui, anxious to the point of tears, explained to Bee before her.

"There is no need for this, Samui!"

"I will always remember your sacrifice for the village!"

"That dignified Fourth Mizukage, actually taking advantage of someone in a vulnerable state—one day, I will not let him off!"

Bee clenched his fists, a raging fire burning in his eyes.

Seeing that her attempt to clarify only made things worse, Samui fell into total despair. She looked at Bee blankly, not knowing what to do.

"It's not like that! The Fourth Mizukage is truly not what you think!"

But things had reached this point, and Samui could only continue to explain to Bee with pale, weak words.

"Hmm?"

"Then what exactly is going on?"

Seeing Samui's expression, Bee seemed to show a hint of wavering, and he asked Samui solemnly.

With the honor of two villages at stake, Bee also felt he should give Samui a chance to explain and should not be so judgmental.

"I, I, I..."

But the problem remained the same: up to this point, Samui was just as bewildered, having no idea what the reason for everything was, let alone where to start explaining.

She couldn't very well say: "I suppose the Fourth Mizukage thought I was pretty, so he gave me special treatment?"

Even if she dared to say it, Bee would absolutely not believe it.

Next, Samui gave an explanation that would be unforgettable for both her and Bee for the rest of their lives.

"The Fourth Mizukage did not force me, and it is absolutely not what you think!"

"It really is my own willingness!"

Driven by some strange impulse, Samui shouted at Bee with a bright red face.

Following Samui's shout, the entire hospital room fell into silence.

"Clatter."

A crisp sound reached the ears of Bee and Samui. The two turned to look and saw a square-faced Cloud Ninja standing blankly at the doorway, looking at Samui with an expression of disbelief.

It was the other member of the Cloud Ninja trio—Karui, who had just gone to the cafeteria to get food.

And the noise just now was precisely because Karui had heard Samui's earth-shattering words and accidentally dropped the lunchbox in his hand.

Karui looked at Samui in disbelief. He had only been away for a short ten minutes; what on earth had happened?

The sheer amount of information revealed in Samui's entire sentence made Karui gasp at how terrifyingly deep the implications were!

At this moment, Bee had recovered from his initial shock, and the look he gave Samui now carried a hint of strangeness.

From Bee's perspective, Samui's cheeks were flushed and her eyes were filled with affection; she was clearly the image of a young girl in love.

What? You ask how Bee knows?

Although he had never been in a relationship, he had seen plenty of pigs run even if he hadn't eaten pork.

Isn't that what all the books say?

Based on this expression alone, I'm afraid anyone who saw it would find it impossible to believe Samui was being coerced; she was practically wearing "mutual consent" on her face.

Although Bee remained indifferent on the surface, countless thoughts had already flashed through his mind.

After all, taking advantage of someone's precarious position is one thing, but mutual consent is quite another.

Since Samui herself is willing to be with the Fourth Mizukage...

Isn't this a massive stroke of good luck! It might be a bit fast, but for Kumogakure, it is truly all benefit and no harm.

Although Bee racked his brains, he couldn't figure out when the two had hooked up—ahem, when they had taken a liking to each other.

But since the event had already "happened," Kumogakure naturally had no choice but to accept it happily.

Soon, two large red characters popped into Bee's mind—Marriage Alliance!

There is no alliance more solid than a marital relationship!

The strength of Kirigakure had already been deeply acknowledged by Bee, and being able to forge a more solid alliance with Kirigakure was naturally something Kumogakure dreamed of.

What's more, the current situation was that all of Kumogakure was waiting for Kirigakure to save them; Bee naturally wouldn't mind the alliance between the two sides becoming even more solid.

And Samui's words were undoubtedly the type where Kumogakure was just getting sleepy and she had proactively delivered the pillow.

Thinking of this, Bee's expression had completely changed. He looked at Samui with a light and breezy air; the face that had vowed to be irreconcilable with the Fourth Mizukage, Mizunuki Ryosuke, had long since vanished without a trace.

"Alright, I understand, Samui."

"You may withdraw first; I have something to discuss with Karui."

Bee said to Samui with a calm expression, as if he had already completely "understood (misinterpreted)" the content of her words.

"Oh, okay..."

Looking at Bee's calm face, Samui mistakenly thought that Bee had "understood" her explanation, so she didn't continue to dwell on it or offer any futile clarifications.

After all, she really didn't know how to explain the most important part!

Just like that, the bewildered Samui was "invited" out of the room, and she even thoughtfully closed the door for Bee.

As for why Bee would send her out at this very "opportune" moment to question Karui alone...

Samui naturally didn't dare to ask too much about that; after all, for a ninja, knowing too many "secrets" is never a good thing.

Kumogakure's confidentiality regulations were no joke. Perhaps Bee had just woken up and had some "urgent business" to inquire about...

Little did she know, a massive misunderstanding had already been deeply buried.

Samui walked through the hospital corridor, recalling everything that had just happened in her mind, and felt more and more that there was no problem.

She said Mizunuki Ryosuke didn't force her and she was willing; there was nothing wrong with that statement at all.

Mizunuki Ryosuke promised to receive them, and she was willing to be received by Mizunuki Ryosuke; wasn't that just a lack of coercion plus her own willingness?

Where was the problem?

As for her so-called maidenly blushing expression just now, please, that was just nervousness mixed with shyness, okay?

After all, Bee's thinking was too profound; as a pure young girl, how could she defend herself without changing her expression?

Just then, Samui suddenly saw a passing ninja cat doctor. ===== CHAPTER 515 =====
