Chapter 48: The Mizukage Has Arrived!


"Well, I don't know much about stuff like that, but..."

Naruto looked up at him.

"If it's just to you, what have you got to lose?"

He smiled and started walking away.

"Thanks for everything, Teuchi!"

He held up his hand, opened it wide, and switched it around so his thumb pointed up.

I knew amazing things would come out of that boy...

BACK TO KOKUKOZU

Both Kokukozu and Shimokaton were drenched in sweat, panting heavily with every step.

Kokukozu decided to wear his Kage hat for shade.

"Ah! Welcome Mizukage,"

Bellowed a large man wearing white robes.

Along with that, he wore a large, gray, bowl-shaped hat with a hole at the top where some of his white, spiky hair stuck out of; the rest stuck out of the bottom of the cup, which laid gently around his neck.

His hair covered his eyes as well.

"Glad you could come!"

He smiled wide.

"Hey, Waizu-Senpai, I see you're doing a fine job as commander of the Land of Lava."

Kokukozu smiled as well.

Shimokaton showed no sign of happiness and did not greet the friendly, elderly man.

"Uh...is anything the matter, young man?"

He ignored him, turning his head the other way.

"Don't mind him, he's just a bit homesick."

"Ah, well don't worry young man, it won't be too long."

Assured Waizu.

"Oh, but before we do anything Mizukage, I must make sure nothing behind your eyepiece is considered a weapon, we had some problems at the last meeting, and we don't want it to reoccur, so..."

Kokukozu nodded and uncovered his eye.

"Oh, my..."
