Chapter 515

In the hospital room, Bee looked at the wooden-faced Karui before him, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.

The "matter" concerning Samui and the Fourth Mizukage, Mizunuki Ryosuke, was, after all, of great importance.

Bee still needed to figure out exactly what had happened during the time he was unconscious in the hospital.

And to figure out what had happened, Bee had to find a "third party" who could view the problem from an objective perspective to explain everything; he couldn't just listen to Samui's one-sided story.

The "third party," of course, could only be the other member of the Cloud Ninja trio—the famous Magnet Release ninja of Kumogakure, Karui!

Because he possessed the special Kekkei Genkai "Magnet Release," Karui could also be considered one of the core members in Kumogakure.

Although Karui's development of Magnet Release was very inefficient, it still gave Karui a level of strength in the Ninja World that was better than some but worse than others.

Because of this, the Magnet Release ninja Karui still held some prestige in Kumogakure; even Bee, the son of the Third Raikage, had always been relatively respectful toward Karui.

Plus, Karui's reputation in Kumogakure had always been good; even the Third Raikage had praised him as "loyal and reliable."

If it weren't for this, the task of guarding the son of the Third Raikage on a diplomatic mission to Kumogakure would never have fallen to him.

From any angle, the best person for Bee to verify the matter regarding Samui and the Fourth Mizukage was the ninja accustomed to silence before him—Karui!

"Karui, Samui, she..."

"What exactly is going on?"

Although Bee's tone was somewhat hesitant, his attitude was very serious as he asked.

Hearing this, Karui, who had a square face, was somewhat silent.

He, of course, knew "what matter" Bee was asking about.

Looking at the silent Karui, a hint of depth flashed in Bee's eyes.

Although Karui hadn't said anything, in this situation, it was as if he had already said everything.

This eerie "silence" was the best explanation at this moment.

Sometimes, silence is the best answer.

After a long while, Bee let out a long breath.

"Alright, I understand..."

Afterward, he said in a low voice, then closed his eyes.

As Bee slowly closed his eyes, Karui, who was beside him, was somewhat bewildered.

He looked at Bee before him blankly, but soon he seemed to understand something as well, and simply fell silent.

Although he vaguely felt that something was wrong, since Bee, the decision-maker, had already determined the facts, what need was there for him to continue speaking?

Being talkative wasn't his personality anyway.

Thus, the situation gradually developed in an eerie direction...

To understand everything, let us cut the scene to Karui's perspective.

Karui was, of course, aware that the Fourth Mizukage would meet with them after Bee's condition improved.

After all, unlike Bee, who was fighting Zabuza at the time, Karui happened to be right beside Samui when she made the request to the Fourth Mizukage and witnessed the entire process.

As a warrior, Karui didn't think much of it, only secretly rejoicing that their group's goal had been achieved without any danger.

Afterward, Bee fell into a coma following the battle, and Karui and Samui were responsible for taking care of him.

Up until just now, Karui hadn't thought much about it.

As time approached noon, Karui went to the hospital cafeteria to get food for Samui; Karui was quite satisfied with the food at the Kirigakure Ninja Cat Hospital.

Just as Karui was returning to the hospital room door with the lunchbox, Samui's shout exploded in Karui's ears like a bolt from the blue.

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

"It really is my own willingness!"

Samui's voice still lingered in Karui's mind, unable to dissipate for a long time...

At that time, the terrifying "amount of information" contained in that sentence directly caused the plate in Karui's hand to drop to the ground.

In an instant, countless "details" he had previously ignored flooded into Karui's mind.

At this moment, he seemed to suddenly understand why the Fourth Mizukage, who had been avoiding them, had suddenly agreed to meet them.

Karui also recalled that on that evening, Samui had invited him to watch the night view of Kirigakure together, but he had refused at the time.

If Karui remembered correctly, Samui had returned very late that day, and her face was full of exhaustion.

And even more terrifyingly, Karui vaguely remembered that when Mizunuki Ryosuke agreed to Samui, he had mentioned something about having dinner with Samui.

In an instant, all the information was "connected" by Karui, combined with the sentence Samui had shouted at Bee.

·· Seeking flowers ··

Basically, Karui had already "hammered home" everything.

The "motive," "time of the crime," and "testimony of the parties involved" were all there; what else was there to say?

And the reason he didn't say a word when Bee asked him was, of course, because he was constantly "sorting out the details" and "organizing his language" in his mind.

But before he could think of how to say it, the impatient Bee seemed to have already determined something and closed his eyes.

And in Karui's eyes, he naturally wouldn't think that Bee had taken his "silence" as an answer.

He hadn't even said anything yet, okay!

In his eyes, Bee's behavior was, of course, because Bee himself was already "certain" about this matter, and thus didn't need him to say anything more.

Seeing Bee so certain only reinforced Karui's belief in his own conjecture, and thus there was even less need for him to explain anything.

Everything completed a closed loop right here.

Samui chased after the cat doctor at the Ninja Cat Hospital for a long time, seemingly wanting to reach out with her "evil claws" to satisfy her own "evil desires."

But facing the cat doctor's agile movements, Samui lost track of it in the hospital after just a few tries.

Although she didn't get her wish, Samui wasn't disappointed, but instead secretly began planning how to arrange the remaining time in Kirigakure.

Suddenly, she recalled the girl she had met on the streets of Kirigakure that night.

"I really don't know when I'll be able to meet her again."

Samui sighed in her heart, a hint of gentleness flashing in her eyes.

That was a young girl who looked like Snow White, her white clothes whiter than snow, her eyes filled with affection; not only was her personality gentle, but she was also enthusiastic toward others—she was simply a girl symbolizing perfection.

This girl, who looked like snow, had taken her to visit all the shopping streets of Kirigakure in the shortest possible time; although she was a bit exhausted, it was the most fun Samui had ever had.

This was also the first time Samui knew that "shopping" was so physically and mentally draining.

Thinking of this, Samui seemed to think of something funny and couldn't help but smile.

But what she didn't know was that, perhaps very soon, she would never be able to smile again. ===== CHAPTER 517 =====

But what she did not know was that, perhaps very soon, she would no longer be able to laugh.
