Chapter 407 - Tsubaki
Chapter 407 – Tsubaki
"Open the door," Kakashi said.
"Yes, commander."
Hearing this, Hyuga Taiga inserted the prepared key into the cell's keyhole.
With a creaking sound, the iron cell door slowly opened.
The sound is not loud, but in the empty prison, it seemed very abrupt.
Hearing the sound, Mizuki, who seemed to be sleeping, raised his head and looked at the door.
Seeing Kakashi, Mizuki was taken aback for a moment. He didn't expect to see this famous Shinobi here.
"Hey, Mizuki."
"Kakashi-sama? Why did you come here?" Mizuki said as tried to sit up from the bed.
Although he already had gray hair and wrinkles on his face, it did not affect his actions.
At least, there is no big problem to move like a normal person.
Mizuki and Kakashi have never met like this before, so Kakashi didn't know much about Mizuki.
Most of his impression of Mizuki comes from the original work, as well as the information on the Anbu.
But Mizuki has long heard of Kakashi.
After all, Kakashi is very famous and the reason Mizuki entered the prison is also because of Kakashi's student, Naruto Uzumaki.
"I'm just curious, so I come here and take a look. I didn't expect that you are also one of Orochimaru's abandoned subordinates. It is really interesting." Kakashi said with a smile.
Originally, Kakashi thought Mizuki was just a person who yearned for Orochimaru unilaterally.
But seeing the current situation, he knew Mizuki has met Orochimaru before, and he even got another alternative Cursed Seal from Orochimaru's hands.
Or, it is Orochimaru's most crude Cursed Seal.
Hearing Kakashi's words, Mizuki's expression turned ugly.
After all, being abandoned is not a glorious thing.
"Kakashi-sama, if you just come here to ridicule me, your reputation would go down." Mizuki sneered.
"Don't worry, I'm not that bored. I just come here to confirm something," Kakashi said.
"What?"
Mizuki was taken aback. Before Mizuki could react, Kakashi's hand was already pressed on Mizuki's body.
A huge force pressed on Mizuki's shoulder, making him unable to move, and even could not speak.
Hyuga Taiga didn't understand what is going on at this moment. 'What does commander want to do with this guy? Is there any value in this guy?'
However, Hyuga Taiga obviously will not ask these questions.
In his eyes, as long as it is done by Kakashi, it is right.
At this time, a young and beautiful woman arrived in Mizuki's cell.
The woman was carrying a rice box and it seemed she has come here to visit Mizuki.
Seeing that Mizuki was restrained by Kakashi, the woman was shocked.
"What are you doing!"
As she said that, the woman rushed over, trying to stop Kakashi.
But with the Hyuga Taiga here, how could this woman succeed.
Hyuga Taiga attacked one of the woman's tenkketsu points, making her drop down.
The lunch box in her hand also fell on the ground, and in a flash, a fragrance spread out.
"It is forbidden to obstruct Anbu's work." Hyuga Taiga said coldly.
"What!"
After hearing this, the woman finally realizes that Kakashi and Hyuga Taiga are indeed wearing Anbu's uniform, 'But why did they come for Mizuki?'
The woman's eyes were full of anxiety and she shouted: "What do you want to do with Mizuki? Mizuki is already an ordinary person."
The woman said with a hint of crying. If an average person sees such a scene, they would be already feeling bad at this moment.
Unfortunately, this woman met Hyuga Taiga.
This guy didn't pity this woman at all, so he doesn't feel bad at all.
But at this time, Kakashi retracted his Chakra.
"Don't worry, I didn't do anything to Mizuki. I just wanted to confirm something. So, who are you? Why are you here?" Kakashi asked.
As soon as Kakashi retracted his Chakra, Mizuki regained his mobility.
Hyuga Taiga said: "Commander, this woman is Tsubaki, Mizuki's fiancée. She came here to look after Mizuki every day."
"Commander?" Hearing Hyuga Taiga's words, Tsubaki was shocked. She obviously did not think that the identity of the person in front of her is so high.
Hearing this, Kakashi looked at Tsubaki thoughtfully. He couldn't think that someone like Mizuki would have such a person who so infatuated with him, and was willing to come here and take care of him every day.
Sure enough, the power of love is really great.
Kakashi picked up the lunch box Tsubaki had dropped on the floor, and the the fragrance became more intense.
Kakashi looked inside, and saw that it was actually ramen from Ichiraku.
'So, is this the so-called delicacy that Fūjin and Raijin said?'
Kakashi smiled secretly in his heart. He didn't expect that ramen from Ichiraku would be so tempting now.
And this ramen seems to be the Seafood Catfish Noodles that was originally created by him.
'Such a taste is indeed tempting.'
These thoughts flashed through Kakashi's mind, and then, he handed the lunch box to Tsubaki, who was still lying on the ground, and said, "Tsubaki, right? Sorry to make you drop your lunch box. Mizuki is fine, so don't worry. Taiga, let's go."
"Yes!" Hyuga Taiga replied.
The two left immediately, and then Tsubaki got up quickly.
Hyuga Taiga did not use much power in his attack, so Tsubaki was only temporarily paralyzed and it did not cause any damage to her body.
After all, this is Konoha. Those who come are all companions from the same village, so it is bad if he is ruthless.
Tsubaki hurriedly ran to Mizuki's side and whispered: "Mizuki, are you okay?"
Mizuki has already recovered at this time and said coldly: "I'm okay, but I don't know what Kakashi has done to me."
"It's fine as long as you're okay. Come on, let's eat, this is the ramen from Ichiraku I bought for you. Fortunately, although the soup was spilled a little, the ramen is still okay." Tsubaki said softly.
Seeing this, Mizuki felt his heart softened.
Mizuki felt he is really lucky to have such a fiancée.
Even if he did something bad to her before, she still didn't leave him.
"Tsubaki, my body will only be able to hold on up to five years. You don't have to wait for me anymore. Find a good man to marry. I think Iruka is good." Mizuki muttered. His white long hair blocked his face, making people unable to see his expression.
Hearing this, Tsubaki smiled and shook her head, and then, she said: "Mizuki, I have decided to be with you in this life. Even if you only have five years of life left, I will always guard you and will never change. As for Iruka, I only regard him as a friend. So don't say anything like that anymore. Come on, let's eat."
Mizuki's heart twitched fiercely. For a while, he didn't know what to say.
Looking at the steaming noodles in front of me, tears flowed silently.
Tsubaki didn't notice it because Mizuki's face is blocked by his long hair.
"Mizuki…" Seeing Mizuki did not move, Tsubaki could not help but call.
"I'm okay, Tsubaki, thank you."
Mizuki said as he took the bowl of ramen, and then, he ate it all in just a few bites.
People would only understand the goodness they once had when they are at the end of their lives.
