Soaked in water, Fuguki turned back then said these two words to Masahiko one by one. At that very moment, Masahiko felt like he has pushed his luck too much.
âIâm afraid this is important if I donât want to expose my identityâŠâ
Although he felt that it was probably good for him⊠since heâs a shark, Masahiko still said, âYou have to be carefulâŠâ
Before finished speaking, Masahiko watched a thunderbolt struck Fugukiâs back. The big fat guy trembled, and he, Masahiko, could swear to god that he smelled grilled fish. Apparently, Water and Thunder is terrible news for a shark.
Masahiko took two steps back and murmured, âIt has nothing to do with meâŠâ
âElder!â Kisame hurriedly stepped forward.
The big fat man waved his hand to stop Kisame, then turned his head around mechanically, âYou two bastards! Are you deliberately targeting me?â
He wanted to earn some easy money, and now these two are throwing Ninjutsu at him? This is to get rid of competitors in advance, right?
Looking at the others, even the kids werenât injured, which made anger burn in his heart, but this time Masahiko didnât smell grilled heart.
At this time, many peopleâs eyes, including Ao, were locked on him.
He immediately rushed to him, âFuguki-Dono, I donât think that the other elders are intentionally targeting you.â
It was indeed, unintentionally. And Ao could confirm that because they were still fighting, and even though there was big movement, nothing came at him.\n
Fuguki took a deep breath and tried to calm himself, but he still felt aggrieved.
âElder, should we change the place?â Kisame suggested.
âNo, we will stay here, but go and watch that catâs guy. I donât like him. These mere attacks can do anything to me!â Fuguki glared; of course, he couldnât change the place. Otherwise, people will start mocking him. How is he going to fight for the Mizukage position when he canât even stand his ground fighting to candidates fighting?
âYes!â
âŠâŠ
Ten minutes later.
âSharked-Face bro, your Elder is really unlucky. You might not have a future following him.â
âShark, bro, I think you better go help him. He seems really tired.â
âSharku-SanâŠâ
âShut up!â
âOkay!â
Masahiko smiled and watched Fuguki brutally getting sieged. The audience was no longer watching the battle in the center of the venue but the Fat Shark blocking one Ninjutsu after another.
This kept going until Aoâs voice emitted throughout the venue, âAmeyuri Ringo-Sama wins!â
Everyone shook their heads, realizing that it was over and Fuguki was no longer gonna get hit.\nâWonderful, really wonderful battle!â
âThank You for the protection, Fuguki-Sama!â
âThe one million Ryo was really worth it!
âI wish you victory tomorrow!â
Hearing these praises, the gasping heavily Fuguki turned around and glanced at the back. All the wealthy businessmen, including Masahiko holding his cat, looked grateful.
Looking back at the center of the field, the defeated Triangle head was in a coma, but Ringo looked better than him. After all, she was relatively resistant to Water Release.
âDamn this.â He cursed secretly, not knowing who he should get angry at, and finally locked his eyes on Masahiko, who really made lose it earlier.
Masahiko smiled slightly, but then suddenly disappeared inside a group of the wealthy businessmen who gathered around to pay Fuguki in gratitude, and left with his cat. He hasnât watched the good part yet, so he doesnât want to get exposed for the time being.
Kisame sighed, looking in the direction that Masahiko took as he left, then shook his head and walked to Fuguki⊠Although there was something wrong with Masahiko, he didnât believe that he had anything to do with what happened to Fuguki. Maybe heâs really that unlucky?
Leaving the scene, Masahiko was unscathed, and the even cat in his arms was still sleeping.
âNo, itâs just because this guy is a really heavy sleeper,â Masahiko muttered.
Many people left with him, and they mostly were ninjas. Thus, Masahiko, who was holding a cat, naturally attracted their attention.
It took Masahiko a long time to realize the gazes of everyone. Looking around, he noticed that most of them looked embarrassed by how he looked. After all, they were two S-Ranked ninjas fighting. This is really disgraceful.
Looking at his neat clothes again, Masahiko aid with a smile, âFuguki-Sama is powerful. I only spent two million Ryo and watched a great battle unscathed. Itâs worth it.â\n\nEbizo sighed deeply, âElder Uzumaki MasahikoâŠâ
Chiyo waved her hand, âHe should be the one who took the missing supplies. That was the only time he participated in the war, and he usually doesnât like participating in wars. He wonât do more.â
âWhat if he joins the warâŠâ
âNo matter what the consequences are, I will bear it all!â Chiyo said solemnly.
âŠ..
In the early morning the next day, Masahiko simply ate some food, held the fat cat in his arms, and headed to the field again, but this time, there was something in his hand; a scroll.
This time he entered the venue smoothly. He watched the battle with a cat in his arms and left unscathed, and now heâs a celebrity.
Looking left and right, Masahiko quickly found the unique face of Kisame.
Fuguki wasnât there. Itâs estimated that he wonât come early on the day of the battle.
Masahiko rushed to Kisame and opened the scroll in his hand. Kisame saw him coming and couldnât help but say, âHow dare you come again?â
Tara~
A banner with the words âFuguki-Sama Must Winâ appeared in front of Kisame.
âCome on, Sharked-Face Aniki, pul up this banner with me.â
