Kisame

Tsunade's pupils shrank sharply as Kisame's fist was reflected in her eyes, getting closer and bigger. He was about to blow her head.

At this moment, she was filled fear and felt that Death had come to her.

"Stop!"

The fear of death finally made her cry out for mercy.

Kisame's fist stopped less than a centimeter from the tip of Tsunade's nose.

"I haven't beaten you for a few days, and you suddenly think you're capable of fighting me, don't you?"

Kisame looked down at Tsunade under him, turned his fist into a palm, and slapped her face twice resulting a humiliating expression on her face.

Two snaps, crisp and loud.

"Get off me."

Tsunade stared at Kisame with tears in her eyes, and said through gritted teeth.

"Don't show such an expression, it makes me feel like I'm treating you badly."

While talking, Kisame stood up and retracted his shark tail that was wrapped around Tsunade. For him, occasionally bullying Tsunade is an interesting way to destress.

Who made it that bullying this woman so funny.

Tsunade clenched her fists tightly, the veins on the back of her hands and forehead burst out, and stood up without saying a word.

She originally thought that by learning the Sage mode, she would be able to narrow the gap between their strength, and that she can make him pay for all that she had suffered from him.

However, after fighting Kisame again, she found to her dismay that even if she learned senjutsu, she was still no match for this guy.

Tsunade stared at Kisame's back, her eyes were about to burst into flames, but she didn't dare to attack him again, because she didn't want to ask for trouble.

Just then,

"It was an exciting match!"

Katsuyu's clone said while shaking her pair of tentacles and crawled towards the two of them.

Just now, it witnessed the fight between Kisame and Tsunade. From Katsuyu's point of view, this is undoubtedly a heart to heart exchange, other than that, there is nothing wrong.

"Humph."

Tsunade snorted again, turned her head, and tied her blond hair in a ponytail behind her head, and sorted out her messy clothes.

The scars left by the battle on her body also healed and disappeared during this period, and her snow-white elastic skin was restored.

It can be seen that Tsunade's current physique is very close to that of Senju Hashirama of the past.

"Kisame-sama, don't look misunderstand that Tsunade-sama is very angry with you, in fact, she is very grateful to you. After all, the multi-shadow clone jutsu you gave her saved her a lot of time, it is because of that she can successfully completely train senjutsu this quickly."

Katsuyu approached Kisame and whispered in his ear, not wanting to see the two misunderstand each other.

Of course, it was no surprise that Tsunade heard her whispers.

"Who is grateful to him? I warn you, Katsuyu, don't talk nonsense!"

Tsunade turned around and roared at Katsuyu, causing it to tremble with fright, and quickly hide behind Kisame.

Kisame frowned and narrowed his eyes as he looked at Tsunade, and said coldly, "Don't be disrespectful to the slug sage."

In his heart, sooner or later, Katsuyu will be his woman, how can she be bullied by Tsunade.

"…"

Tsunade's face changed, as she felt the murderous aura from Kisame, so she closed her mouth and stopped talking.

She stood still over there for a long time, hesitated, and finally walked to Kisame, pretended to inadvertently stroke her hair, and said:

"Than...thanks."

This thanks is not only because of the multiple shadow clone jutsu, but also for the Hashirama cells.

It can be said that without Kisame's help, Tsunade could not have reached this point, and hope to become a powerhouse comparable to her grandfather in the future.

Tsunade hates Kisame, but she's not ungrateful. In addition to saying thank you, she also silently recorded this kindness in her heart.

"Yo, the sun must have came out from the west today, and you actually said thank you to me?"

Kisame glanced at Tsunade with a surprised look on his face, and then changed his words, "However, I still say that, since you want to thank me, give me something practical. What do you think?"

"What do you want?" Tsunade asked through gritted teeth.

What Kisame was waiting for was her words.

He rolled his eyes and said with interest: "I remember you saying that you hid the great sword of the Senju clan in the Shikkotsu Forest. Can you take it out for me and let me open it? For a look? I swear, I will just take a look."

Tsunade was stunned when she heard Kisame.

She almost forgot about this matter, but she didn't expect Kisame to remember it all the time.

He was so concerned about the sword, and he said "just take a look", pretending to have no intentions, she doesn't believe it.

However, she can let him have a look.

If this can pay off the kindness given to her, then she would be profiting.

With this thought in mind, Tsunade showed a smile, and immediately said: "Follow me."

She turned and walked in one direction.

Kisame suppressed hid excitement and anticipation and followed behind Tsunade, and came all the way to the back of a hill.

"It's here."

After confirming the surrounding environment, Tsunade looked at the ground, and immediately punched down.

'Boom.'

The ground cracked open and a large hole appeared. Tsunade jumped in, and after a few seconds, she threw a one-meter-high, white-paper-black scroll from inside.

Kisame caught the scroll and recognized at a glance that this was the scroll that Senju Hashirama used to carry behind his back.

"Help me unfold it."

Tsunade said to Kisame, then made a few seals and pressed her palm on the scroll.

With a bang, a giant sword was channeled out of the scroll, with the tip of the sword pointing down and inserted on the ground.

Back then, when Senju Hashirama faced off against his old enemy Madara Uchiha, facing the latter's Gunbai, in order to fight against it, Hashirama used this sword.

Just as the Gunbai is handed down from generation to generation by the Uchiha family, this giant sword also has a great background. It is an ancestral treasure of the Senju clan and has been handed down for hundreds of years.

However, in Tsunade's generation, she was the only one left in the once prosperous and huge Senju clan, and she didn't like to use weapons, only fists.

Therefore, she buried the giant sword and the storage scroll in the Shikkotsu Forest.

If it weren't for the fact that Kisame has a strong interest in this giant sword, it would have been forgotten by Tsunade, buried forever in the ground, and will never see the light of day again.

"This sword... it seems to be a little bigger and heavier. Other than that, there is nothing special about it."

Kisame looked at the Senju sword and muttered to himself, deliberately showing a disappointed expression.

Tsunade really took the bait.

"Hmph, what do you know? The Senju Greatsword's appearance is indeed a little simpler, but as a treasure handed down from generation to generation by the Senju clan, it is not only hard and sharp, but also powerful, it can crush opponents just by its own weight. ."

She snorted softly and said with her arms folded over her chest.

"Oh? So, this is a weapon that suppresses the enemy by its own weight?"

Kisame was surprised, this time it was not pretending. In this way, the Senju Great Sword should be made of some kind of metal with a particularly high density, and "heavy" is its characteristic.

"Times up, you said you wanted to take a look, it should be enough. I will put it away."

As Tsunade spoke, she made a seal, intending to retract the Senju sword back to the scroll.

"Wait."

Kisame immediately reached out to stop her, and his eyes flashed as he, "Can you let me touch this sword, because I'm really curious, how much does it weigh? Don't worry, I will just touch it, and I will never do anything to it."

"Do you think I'll believe you?" Tsunade said coldly.

"The slug sage also heard my words, how about letting it be the witness? You believe in Katsuyu, don't you?" Kisame asked.

Tsunade glanced suspiciously at Kisame, then looked at Katsuyu next to him looking at them with a cute look, and finally nodded reluctantly.

She would like to see what kind of tricks Kisame can come up with.

So, under Tsunade's unblinking gaze, Kisame's pair of large hands reached out to the wide hilt of the Senju Great Sword and held it.

'Really heavy.'

Kisame tried to weigh it, but he couldn't lift it from the ground, it was more than ten times heavier than ordinary weapons.

"Rise."

Kisame let out a low shout and exerted strength again, and finally pulled out the Senju sword from the ground and held it in his hand.

'Swish. Swish.'

He held the giant sword and swung it twice at will, and the air whistled wherever the sword passed, with astonishing power.

"Have you had enough?" Tsunade asked coldly.

"Enough, it's enough." Kisame chuckled and put down the giant sword, intending to return it to Tsunade. But at this moment, he secretly activated the Panda in his mind.

Next second.

'Buzz.'

The Senju giant sword in Kisame's hand suddenly vibrated violently, and the sword body emitted a dazzling glow, as if some incredible change was taking place.

"What is going on?"

Without waiting for Tsunade to ask questions, Kisame opened his eyes wide, with a look of panic, and shouted loudly, "This sword is absorbing my chakra! My power is being drained!"

Tsunade was also confused when she saw the panicked look on Kisame's face. After she came back to her senses, she hurriedly shouted at him:

"What did you do to it? Let go!"

"I can't help it! This sword is linked with me, it is devouring my chakra frantically, help me get it away!"

Kisame roared at Tsunade. As soon as he said that, he knelt on one knee with a bang, cold sweat oozes from his forehead, and his face looked pale and weak.

Excellent acting.

"This…"

Tsunade was completely stunned by Kisame's acting. Looking at the Senju sword, which was getting more and more dazzling, she didn't dare to go forward easily for a while, and could only turn her head to look at Katsuyu beside her and ask it for help.

Katsuyu shook her head quickly, indicating that it didn't see any clues and didn't know what was going on.

At this time.

'Swiiii.'

The Senju great sword in Kisame's hand suddenly turned into a stream of light, and sank into his body along the palm of his hand. Different from the previous swallowing, this stream did not stay in a certain part of his body, but escaped and melted into his cells.

'Ah, comfortable.'

Kisame suddenly felt that his body was full of power, and he also felt that his physique was stronger. The muscles of the chest, abdominals, back and other muscles were visibly enlarged by the naked eye.

"You…"

When Tsunade saw this scene, no matter how stupid she was, she could vaguely guess what happened.

No wonder this guy has always been so interested by the Senju Great Sword. It turned out that he was able to absorb this ninja tool directly into his body and turn it into his own ability!

At this moment, Tsunade understood the secret behind Kisame's strength.

"Asshole!"

After realizing that she had been deceived, she immediately punched at Kisame angrily.

'Snap.'

Kisame raised a big hand and tightly wrapped Tsunade's fist, preventing it from advancing an inch. Then, he raised his other hand, clenched his fists with five fingers and punched hard.

'Boom!'

Tsunade panicked and hurriedly parried, only to feel a powerful force coming from Kisame's fist, and she was knocked out on the spot.

'Thud.'

Her plump body made a graceful arc in the air, and with a plop, she fell into the hot spring in the center of the Shikkotsu Forest and turned into a floating duck.

"It feels really good."

Kisame looked at his fist as his eyes burned bright. After absorbing the Senju Great Sword, it strengthened his muscle density by virtue of the latter's "heavy" characteristics, making his body weight more than doubled.

Now that he weighs almost a thousand pounds, every punch he punches naturally became more and more powerful, and it is difficult for Tsunade to even parry the attack.

When he came to the hot spring, he happened to see Tsunade, all wet, and crawling ashore from the water in embarrassment.

"Are you OK?"

Kisame leaned down and stretched out his big hand towards her, and as far as he could see, he inadvertently enjoyed the blessing to his eyes.

'Snap.'

Tsunade slapped Kisame's hand away, glared at him fiercely, then bypassed him without saying a word, and walked into a small wooden house not far away.

After a while, she changed into dry clothes, packed her things and walked out. Then, she came infront of Kisame again, raised her head and looked directly into his eyes.

"Hoshigaki Kisame, we have settled everything between us. On a private level, I don't owe you anything anymore. I will now return to Kirigakure and help Kirigakure establish a medical ninja system according to the agreement. After that, it is the day we part ways, I hope you don't stop me again."

After she finished saying these words to Kisame, without waiting for him to respond, she turned around and walked to Katsuyu, and told it: "Be careful with Hoshigaki Kisame, that guy is plotting against you."

Then, she cast a seal, turned into white smoke with a "poof", she returned to the ninja world.

"Kisame-sama, Tsunade-sama seems to be angry, don't you want to chase after her and have a look?" Katsuyu asked anxiously.

"It's normal for women to lose temper occasionally, don't worry about her, she'll be fine in a few days."

Kisame shrugged indifferently, not in a hurry to leave at all, he approached Katsuyu and asked her, "I have some questions, I want to ask you for advice..."

He didn't deliberately find a topic to get closer to Katsuyu, but really wanted to ask it for advice, such as how its body evolved into the behemoth it is now, lying in the Shikkotsu forest.

Katsuyu's valuable experience will undoubtedly have great reference value for Kisame to realize his own evolutionary goal.

Then, for the next period of time, Kisame stayed in the Shikkotsu forest, learning from the slug sage, and gained a lot of knowledge from it.

In the process, Kisame now had a clearer understanding of his future goals, and has become more determined to "no longer be a human being", vowing to evolve into a great ultimate creature.

Half a month later.

Kisame bid farewell to Slug Sage temporarily, and returned to Kirigakure from Shikkotsu Forest. After all, according to time, Orochimaru should almost return.

Outside the Mizukage Building.

Kisame didn't see Orochimaru, but met another acquaintance first, a young man with long black hair.

It's Yamato.

"You haven't left yet? It seems that you have made your decision." Kisame stared at the young man in front of him. The latter had experienced too many hardships and ups and downs at a young age, so he exuded a precocious temperament far exceeding his peers.

"Yes, Kisame-sama, I hope to stay in Kirigakure and become a part of this place. Please agree to my request."

Yamato looked solemn and serious, and while speaking he bowed deeply to Kisame.

During his stay in Kirigakure, he found that this place was completely different from the rumored Blood Mist, it implemented a policy of peaceful development.

Although the Land of Water was cut off by various countries due to Kisame killing the Daimyo and Kirigakure was boycotted by the major ninja villages, cutting off all economic and cultural exchanges.

Due to the reunification of the Land of Water by Kisame, which ended the country's perennial civil strife, during this time, Kirigakure not only did not fall into depression, but instead radiated new vitality.

In the village, a thriving and prosperous scene was visible to all.

This place, at least, is much better than the Konoha Root where Yamato once stayed. Compared with the past life of walking in the dark with no light, Kirigakure can even be regarded as a paradise.

Therefore, Yamato finally decided to stay.

"Follow me."

Kisame passed by Yamato, patted the latter on the shoulder and walked into the Mizukage Building.

After entering the office, Kisame sat on a comfortable office chair, and was about to notify Pakura to see him, but unexpectedly there was a click from under him, and the chair was broken by him.

It was only then that he remembered that after swallowing the Senju Great Sword, his weight increased. Ordinary chairs, sofas, and beds could no longer carry his weight.

Kisame then used the wood style to create a new sturdy chair, and then pressed the button on the desk.

After a while, Pakura knocked on the door of the office, and after obtaining the consent, she hurried in.

"Did anyone come to find me during this time?" Kisame asked casually.

"There is a woman who calls herself Sheji, saying she is an old friend of yours. But I saw that she was suspicious, and I couldn't produce any evidence to prove her identity, so I temporarily detained her in the interrogation room and sent someone for 24 hours. surveillance."

Pakura reported.

"Sheji?"( Snake Princess)

When Kisame heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then he showed a smile of sudden realization, and said to her, "Where is she? Take me to see her."

Ten minutes later.

The group of three came to the interrogation room of the Intelligence Department. Through the one-way window, Kisame saw a woman wearing a kimono and sitting quietly on a chair.

She has long straight black hair, fair skin, golden pupils, a small and straight nose bridge, and red lips. She has quite a high class lady temperament.

'Orochimaru.'.

Kisame recognized at a glance that this woman was the so-called "spare body" of Orochimaru. After his reincarnation this time, not only did he put on women's clothes, but he also turned himself into a de facto woman.

"This woman is indeed my friend. She is here to defect to Kirigakure. If nothing else happens, she will be your colleague in the future."

Kisame said to Pakura with a smile.

Hearing this, Pakura responded in a panic: "I'm sorry, Mizukage-sama, it was I who misbehaved and offended your friend."

"It's not your fault, I forgot to tell you about it beforehand, and Oro... Sheji wouldn't mind."

Kisame signaled Pakura not to blame herself, and immediately ordered, "Open the door, I want to chat with her."

"Yes." Pakura hurriedly had the door of the interrogation room open.

Before entering the room, Kisame turned around, pointed to Yamato next to him, and instructed Pakura again:

"By the way, this young man will be your subordinate in the future. You can arrange a place for him and take him with you in the future. His name is... Yamato."

Then, Kisame entered the interrogation room and met with Orochimaru... oh no, Sheji.

"Hello, Kisame." Orochimaru stood up and smiled at Kisame.

"Tsk tsk. I have to call you Sheji from now on, right?"

Kisame circled around Orochimaru, looked at her thoroughly, and joked.

When Orochimaru heard him, he lifted the hair from his ear and responded helplessly: "It's not easy to find a suitable reincarnation vessel. This woman is a loyal subordinate to me, and she voluntarily gave it to me. Her body and aptitude is one in a hundred, so I can still retain most of my power after reincarnation."

"Really, how come I see that you seem to be having fun?"

Kisame pierced through his bullshit, making the latter give out rare blush.

"Actually... being a woman is good too." Orochimaru finally admitted generously. For him, it was a novel and interesting experience.

"Well, let's get back to business."

Kisame put away his playful expression and stopped talking nonsense with Orochimaru, and made two requests to the latter.

First, after Orochimaru came to Kirigakure, he could no longer operate on innocent villagers and ninjas as before, and use them for inhumane human experiments.

Of course, Kisame also know that the progress of science and technology, especially biological science, is often based on a large number of cruel human experiments.

If Orochimaru stops human experimentation, then the latter's development of ninjutsu and scientific research will be stopped. After all, it is difficult to cook without rice.

Therefore, Kisame promised to provide Orochimaru with death-row prisoners in the village and the Land of Water, who were all robbers, bandits, pirates, rebels, and mafia who murdered and sold goods.

In this way, these scumbags who harm others can make a little contribution to the progress of science before they die, which can be regarded as an atonement in a sense.

Orochimaru nodded, accepted it readily, and said respectfully:

"This is your territory, Kisame-sama. I don't have the guts to mess around, I'll listen to you."

"Very good."

Kisame paused for a while, and then raised his second finger, "The second request, except me, don't let anyone else, especially Tsunade, recognize your true identity, can you do it?"

His implication was that he hoped that Orochimaru could remain anonymous from now on. After all, the latter was still Konoha's S-level traitor and had a lot of troubles.

"Of course there's no problem. After all, I'm tired of my previous life, and I've always wanted to change my identity and start over."

Orochimaru readily agreed and promised him, "I will try to avoid contact with Tsunade, and I will never let her see through my identity. From today, there will be no Orochimaru in the world, only the woman in front of you called Sheji."

When Kisame heard this, he looked at Orochimaru and smiled.

Then, after some simple preparations, they hurried up and got down to business.

For Kisame, the threat from Nagato increases every day as time passes. Before the latter fully develops the Rinnegan and attacks Kirigakure, he must complete an evolution to achieve the level of life. The Great Leap.

So for the next few days.

Kisame first arranged an identity and residence for Orochimaru, letting the latter adapt to the life here, and then appointed him as the head of Kirigakure's Science Department.

At the same time, Kisame also inspected the situation of the medical department, and found that Tsunade had already started work, and also accepted Rin Nohara.

Rin was originally a medical ninja, and she has a good talent in this area. In addition, after her tragic encounter was known to Tsunade, she got the sympathy of the latter. So she was accepted as a disciple by Tsunade.

Of course, Nohara Rin's identity needs to be kept secret, except for Kisame, Pakura, Tsunade and Shizune, no one else know about her.

Kisame didn't bother Tsunade too much, and while there was still a little free time, he slipped home and stayed with Yukino for two days.

"Kisame-sama, who is that beautiful woman with dark and long hair?"

On the sofa, Yukino curled up in Kisame's arms, raised her head, and asked curiously and cautiously.

In the past few days, Orochimaru has occasionally come to the door to find Kisame and report some findings to the latter. Every time he came, he would bring some fruit or small gifts, and sometimes he would help Yukino with housework and take care of the two children.

Orochimaru, or Shiji's words and deeds, is like a delicate lady, which left a very deep impression on Yukino.

After several contacts, while she had a good impression of Sheji, she also felt a sense of crisis, and she was vaguely worried that the other party would become her competitor, or even... take her place.

"Why, are you jealous?"

Kisame noticed Yukino's thoughts and asked with a deliberate smile.

"No!"

Yukino hurriedly shook her head in denial. With an embarrassed look on her face, she made a random excuse to change the subject, "I just think that her golden eyes are beautiful..."

"Really? But in my eyes, your sky blue eyes are the most beautiful."

Kisame raised Yukino's chin with his hand and stared at the latter's eyes until her face flushed and turned her head shyly.

"Ah!" She suddenly exclaimed, as she was carried by Kisame on his shoulders and brought into the bedroom.

Next morning, Orochimaru came to visit again, and brought a document to Kisame, which recorded in detail his experience in practicing the Eight Branches jutsu.

"Come on, it's time to start."

Kisame explained a few words to Yukino, and walked out of the courtyard with Orochimaru, walking towards the hidden laboratory in Kirigakure.

'What a coincidence.'

On the way, the two encountered Tsunade who was approaching. She was followed by her two disciples, Shizune and Nohara Rin, who were holding a lot of documents and surgical tools.

"Yo, you are going to work so early. It's really hard for you, Tsunade." Kisame showed a bright smile and took the initiative to greet Tsunade.

"Humph."

Tsunade snorted in response. When she and Kisame were about to pass by, she stopped, glanced at Orochimaru, and said lightly sarcastically, "You are really energetic, I haven't seen you for a few days, and you already found another one. New woman? For your behavior, I am not only feeling sorry for Yukino, but also for Katsuyu."

Hearing this, Kisame was stunned. 

Why did Yukino and Tsunade think he had an affair with Orochimaru? Did he and Sheji really look so close?

Orochimaru was also stunned.

He knew that Yukino was Kisame's woman. But Katsuyu, isn't she the legendary slug sage of the Shikkotsu Forest? Listening to what Tsunade said, could it be that Kisame and the slug sage...

Thinking of this, Orochimaru was horrified, as it was hard to imagine that scene.

After regaining his senses, Orochimaru smiled and bowed a little to Tsunade, and took the initiative to clarify the matter.

But.

Tsunade obviously would not have thought that the enchanting lady in front of her was actually her long-time friend, Orochimaru. She was too lazy to talk nonsense with them, so she walked away.

"Tsunade-sama, wait for us."

Shizune and Nohara Rin hurriedly chased after her, and of course, when they passed by the Kisame, they did not forget to bow to him.

As soon as the three of them left, Orochimaru's eyes flickered, and he couldn't help but ask curiously:

"Kisame-sama, are you and Slug sage... a couple?"

After asking this question, he thought it was absurd. However, Kisame's answer shocked Orochimaru even more.

"Not yet. But sooner or later, Katsuyu will become my woman."

Kisame's eyes were bright as he announced confidently and domineeringly that it was going to happen in the future. After saying this, he continued to walk forward.

Looking at Kisame's back, Orochimaru was in awe.

Time runs by like a horse.

Three months passed quitely.

During this period, Kisame stayed in the laboratory most of the time. With Orochimaru's help, and with the help of the principle behind the Eight branches jutsu, he developed a similar but more suitable technique for himself.

Orochimaru, after years of research, has mastered the ability of the white snake to regenerate. After that, he used it as a medium to inject it into the Eight branches jutsu, and finally, under the influence of his own obsession, he became a big snake with eight heads and eight tails.

Inspired by Orochimaru, Kisame also began to think about what his "speciality" is.

So far, Kisame has mastered many abilities, and the absorption of various ninja tools alone has brought him more than ten special abilities.

Among these abilities, there are several particularly powerful ones, such as the rebound ability of the Gunbai, the flexibility of the Kusanagi sword, the heaviness of the Senju sword, and the Satori form of the Box of Ultimate Bliss, all of which are comparable to the regeneration ability of the white snake, even more than that.

And not to forget, Kisame has also learned the Sage Mode of the Shikkotsu Forest. It has the ability to absorb natural energy and control the speed of cell division. It can also be used as a medium.

However, Kisame quickly realized that his most powerful ability is not any of the above, but "devour".

This ability was brought to him by the Panda in his mind, and because of it, he was able to reach where he is today and become the Demi-God in the ninja world that no one can defeat.

But recently, Kisame has also discovered that the Panda has not improved him as much as before.

The reason is that the ability of the Panda is only to help Kisame devour all kinds of ninja tools, and there are certain limitations to it.

Kisame realized that even if he devoured Six Paths level ninja tools, he would not necessarily become a Six Paths level powerhouse. After all, those ninja tools were, finally, only created by a powerhouse at the level of the Six Paths level.

Therefore, if Kisame wants to go further, he must find a way to upgrade the Panda.

It must not only help him devour all kinds of ninja tools, but also many other things, and even directly absorb the natural energy of the entire planet like the Shinju tree of the Otsutsuki clan.

Devour, this is the special ability that Kisame chose for himself to step forward.

Now that all the preliminary work has been prepared, the next step is to officially start training and embark on the road of evolution.

Kisame knows that this process is very dangerous and may be full of various accidents, so Kirigakure is not a good place to train.

So, he left Kisame and returned to Shikkotsu forest.

Kisame explained his purpose to the slug sage, and told the latter truthfully that he wanted to abandon this human body and evolve into a higher-level creature.

Hearing this, Katsuyu couldn't help but feel very surprised.

In its view, what Kisame is about to do is crazy and bold, at least in its thousands of years of long life, it has never seen a second person like Kisame.

At the same time, it also has a sincere admiration for Kisame.

After all, he is only fifteen years old this year, and he has already stood at the pinnacle of ninjas. It can be said that he has no opponent in the ninja world, and he is well-deserved as the number one person in the world.

Under such circumstances, Kisame did not settle for the status quo and comfortably be the Mizukage, the Demi-God and the Sage, but took huge risks just to be able to go further.

Even at the expense of the human body.

This kind of fearless spirit deeply shocked and moved Katsuyu.

Therefore, it said to Kisame very solemnly:

"Kisame-sama, no matter what you want, you can tell me, and I will do everything I can to help you."

"I was too embarrassed to speak. Since you said that, then I'm say."

Kisame laughed, revealing two rows of white teeth, and said to Katsuyu, "During my training, I may need to borrow the hot spring of the Shikkotsu Forest. The rich natural energy there may be my chance to success this time.”

"Of course there's no problem. Kisame-sama, I'm looking forward to seeing how you evolve."

Without thinking about it, Katsuyu readily agreed.

So, accompanied by Katsuyu's clone, Kisame came to the hot spring once again, and immediately separated ten shadow clones and began to practice.

According to Orochimaru, he took a lot of detours in the process of training the Eight branches jutsu. Because of constantly experimenting and testing on himself, it has inevitably caused irreparable damage and destruction to his body.

Kisame learned from Orochimaru's lesson.

Compared with Orochimaru, his biggest advantage is that he can use his Chakra that is of tail beast level to unscrupulously use multiple shadow clones jutsu.

Through this jutsu, Kisame can continuously create clones, train in various evolutionary directions, and try to change into different forms.

Even if he fails, he will only lose a part of Chakra, and he will get the experience and memory of failure from the clone, make trial and error, sum up and improve.

Until he finds the right way.

On the shore of the hot spring, Kisame's shadow clones were lined up, separated from each other by a certain distance, and thus began to practice.

This is bound to be a long and difficult process.

Three days later.

A shadow clone of suddenly moved.

Under Katsuyu's astonished gaze, the clone quickly swelled, and soon lost its human form, but turned into a big meat ball.

The meatball continued to expand, from three meters, five meters, and finally ten meters in diameter.

'Shhhhhhhh.'

At the same time, many octopus-like tentacles grew out of the surface of the meat ball and danced wildly in the air.

"What is this... so scary, so ugly."

Katsuyu was startled, she shivered and stepped back for a distance. Obviously, she was not mentally prepared for the alien creature that Kisame had evolved into.

'Could it be that Kisame-sama will become like this in the future?'

Just as Katsuyu was making wild guesses, the meatball suddenly let out a painful roar.

"Roar!"

After this roar, it continued to expand, but instead of maintaining a stable spherical shape, after expanding to a limit, it exploded with a "bang".

It turned into pieces of meat in the sky, mixed with blood rain, and fell to the ground.

Failure.

Kisame's first attempt at evolution failed just like that.

Fortunately, this situation has long been expected. Therefore, the other clones continued to practice and were not greatly affected.

And his main body, after absorbing the clone's memory, created a new shadow clone and let it try again.

In the next few months, Kisame has experienced such failures more than a hundred times...

 In the process of exploring the path of evolution, he has taken detours one after another, and has entered a dead end hundreds of times.

Once, he evolved into a fat-headed fish. The huge head alone took up three-quarters of the entire body. It was difficult to even turn over when lying on the ground. It can be said to be a failure of failure;

Once, he evolved into a big snake with rough skin and thick flesh and sharp fangs. It looked very powerful, but after a contest with Katsuyu's clone, he was defeated by the latter. In the face of the strangling of the big snake, Katsuyu split into countless small slugs and easily managed to escape. Then her corrosive mucus was sprayed from its mouth, killing the big snake on the spot;

Another time, he evolved into a huge bird man with three pairs of wings, capable of soaring at an altitude of thousands of meters, but it unexpectedly affected by the sun, and exploded on the spot under the scorching of the sun.

…

However, although Kisame has encountered so many failures, in general, as he accumulated more and more experience and lessons, each of his evolutions was better than the last.

It is a process of trial and error and continuous improvement.

And so another two months passed.

After thousands of trials and errors, he evolved into various strange creatures such as meat balls, strange fish, bird man, jellyfish, cow and horse, nine-headed dogs, giant slime, etc., with the rich experience accumulated, and a little Good luck, and finally evolved his ideal perfect creature.

Appearing in front of Kisame, at first glance, it looks like a huge whale, with a mouth like an abyss, as if one bite can swallow everything in the world.

However, unlike ordinary whales, this whale is covered with bone spikes like a jungle, two long horns above its mouth, a huge shark fin on its back, and a tail that is not a whale, but that of a snake.

In addition, there are a pair of broad wings on both sides of the whale's body.

It is not so much a whale as it is a fusion of four animals: a whale, a shark, a dragon and a bird.

"This is... Kunpeng?"

Kisame suddenly discovered that this big guy is very similar to a creature named "Kunpeng" in the myths and legends of the past life in his memory.

There is a fish in ocean, and its name is Kun. The Kun is so big that no one knows how many thousands of miles it is; when it turns into a bird, its name is Peng. No one knows how many thousands of miles it's wings is; when it flies, its wings are like clouds hanging from the sky.

This is a creature that resembles a fish but not a fish and a bird that is not a bird. Its size is thousands of miles, and its wings are like clouds in the sky.

That's right, it's Kunpeng.

Just as Orochimaru's obsession with immortality turned him into an Yamato no Orochi, Kisame's subconscious yearning for power and freedom eventually changed him into a creature like "Kunpeng".

'This is it.'

Kisame's eyes burned bright, and he made a decision without hesitation. The Kun is the ultimate creature he wants to evolve into.

With a "bang", Kisame released the shadow clone, and the clone's memory and experience returned to his body. He stood on the spot to digest and absorb, and after a while, he was ready and couldn't wait to start.

Kisame took off his suit, wore only a pair of shorts, and walked into the hot spring full of natural energy step by step.

Then, he slowly raised his hands, made dozens of seals in total, and finally put them together.

'Boom.'

An extremely huge amount of chakra suddenly poured out of his body and escaped to the surface of the water, setting off a huge water wave.

"Roar!"

Kisame let out a painful roar, and the muscles all over his body bulged, as if something ran out of his body. Immediately afterwards, his skin tore, his body swelled, and in an instant he changed into a Kun.

Compared with the kun transformed from the clone, the kun transformed from Kisame's body is ten times larger and nearly 100 meters long, occupying most of the hot springs.

At this time, Kisame can no longer be described as "tailless beast" or "human-shaped tailed beast", he has become a real tailed beast, and it is the most powerful tailed beast. They have to bow their head in front of him.

But this is not enough.

The Kun in Kisame's heart is a Six Paths level creature that surpasses the three holy land sages.

To grow to that point, the current amount of Chakra is far from enough.

Fortunately, in the form of Kun, he perfectly integrated the panda in his mind with the power of the Shikkotsu Forest's Sage Mode, thus forming an unprecedented powerful ability:

Energy devour.

This ability is very similar to the Shinju tree planted by the Otsutsuki clan. Kisame can unscrupulously devour various forms of energy, and absorb all of it by virtue of its own "sea-inclusive" body of Kun.

As long as the energy is continuous, the growth of Kun will not stop.

Kisame firmly believes that one day, he will become a real Kunpeng, a super creature with a body length of several thousand kilometers that spans the sky over the entire ninja world!

'Now, let's absorb the natural energy in this hot spring.'

Katsuyu once said that the source of the natural energy of the Shikkotsu Forest is the hot spring lake formed by the upwelling seawater after the volcanic eruption on the seabed.

The natural energy in these seawaters is much richer than Mount Myoboku and Ryuchi Cave. If it can be swallowed, Kun's power will undoubtedly undergo a qualitative leap.

It even became a Six Paths level creature in one fell swoop.

Thinking of this, Kisame looked at Katsuyu.

"Katsuyu, although you allowed me to use this hot spring, if I devour all the natural energy in the hot spring, it means that the Shikkotsu Forest will no longer a holy place with abundant natural energy. It will become an ordinary island. Can you accept such a result?"

Kisame did not hide anything from Katsuyu and told it truthfully about his next plan.

If he does this, it will cause a lot of trouble to Katsuyu, so Kisame will choose to give up on this place as there are other parts of the ninja world that can give energy needed for evolution if it really inconvenience her.

Facing Kisame's sincere question, Katsuyu also responded sincerely:

"Kisame-sama, I said that I would do everything I can to help you, so how can I break my promise. Besides, although I am the owner of the Shikkotsu Forest, I only discovered this place by chance thousands of years ago and just stayed here. The natural energy here does not belong to me, of course you can take it at will."

"Thank you, Katsuyu. If that's the case, then I will have it."

After he finished saying this, he opened his mouth and swallowed hundreds of tons of hot spring water into his belly in one gulp.

In his opinion, absorbing natural energy by soaking is a little slower, and it is better to use a more simple and crude method—since natural energy is contained in water, he will take all the seawater into his stomach.

'Gollum, gollum.'

After swallowing hundreds of tons of seawater rich in natural energy in one breath, Kisame felt like he drank a high-strength liquor, as if all the internal organs were on fire, and the violent energy rampaged in the body.

Absorbing so much natural energy at one time, is something that not even Katsuyu can do so, but Kisame can withstand it with the Kunpeng physique.

He slowly closed his eyes, his huge body sank to the bottom of the lake, and most of the functions of his body went into a dormant state, only the energy in his abdomen was surging with activity along with bursts of thunderous sounds.

Kisame's body gradually digested the natural energy and turned it into a part of himself.

Katsuyu watched all this silently.

In the past three months, it has witnessed Kisame growing step by step, going through hardships and difficulties, and finally succeeded in evolving.

When Kisame turned into Kunpeng, Katsuyu was greatly shocked, because it could feel an ancient and prehistoric aura coming from his body, even an extraordinary creature like her that had lived for thousands of years couldn't help but tremble.

Although Kisame's current body is only 100 meters, and in front of the 400-meter-long Katsuyu, he is only a little guy, but it knows that the potential of the former greatly exceeds it. Kisame's evolution has just begun start.

However, when Kisame said that he could devour all the natural energy in the hot spring, Katsuyu did not believe it.

It has lived here for so long, growing from a small slug to the current giant, absorbing natural energy for thousands of years, and the energy concentration in the hot spring has not become thin.

As it's body size is approaching the limit, the speed at which Katsuyu absorbed natural energy has become very slow, almost stagnant.

In contrast, even if Kisame can devour the natural energy without limit, how long will it take him to drain the hot spring lake?

A hundred years? A thousand years? Or ten thousand years?

This question was quickly answered by Kisame.

Because the speed at which Kisame absorbed natural energy is much faster than it imagined.

Every time Kunpeng wakes up from a deep sleep, it opens its mouth like a black hole, swallowing hundreds of thousands of tons of seawater into his belly, and then falls asleep. After a day or two, after absorbing the energy, Kunpeng will wake up again and swallow more seawater.

Week after week passed by.

During this process, Kunpeng's body also expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye. In less than a month, it's body length of 100 meters reached 200 meters, and it became twice its original size.

At this time, the hot spring lake could no longer accommodate Kunpeng's huge size. So it simply dived down and reached the depths of the sea, which is wider and closer to the underwater volcano.

It is also a place where natural energy is more concentrated.

"Incredible."

Katsuyu was stunned. At this speed, in just a few years, Kisame will probably be able to absorb all the natural energy of the Shikkotsu forest, and its body length will spread to more than a thousand meters.

What is even more frightening is that Kisame at that time is still not feeling full, and there was still a lot of room for growth.

Time passed day by day.

Before he know it, Kisame had been in Shikkotsu Forest to train for half a year.

In the past six months, the entire ninja world has been surprisingly calm, and no major events have occurred.

However, this quiet is more like a calm before a storm. Konoha and Mount Myoboku, Nagato and Akatsuki of Amegakure, Kumogakure, Iwakagure, and Kirigakure on the sea side...

 All forces are secretly accumulating strength, and maybe they will ignite the fuse at some point and, rekindle the war in the ninja world.

On this day, Tsunade came to Shikkotsu Forest after a long period of absence.

"Tsunade-sama, long time no see, did you come here because you missed Kisame-sama?"

A clone of Katsuyu appeared in front of Tsunade. It knows that Tsunade has served as the medical head of Kirigakure for the past six months, and has been busy establishing a medical ninja system and cultivating talents.

"Missing him? What a joke. That guy didn't move for so long, and he didn't send any news back. It just made some people worried, so they asked me to find out what's going on."

Tsunade said casually, looking left and right.

It is true that Kisame has been in retreat for a long time this time. After a long time, Yukino, Pakura, and even Orochimaru and others in the village began to worry.

However, she also has to discuss about the medical department when she finds Kisame. After all, the latter is the Mizukage and the head of a village, so she can't ignore him completely.

"So, where is that guy? Could it be that he failed while training some forbidden jutsu and died suddenly."

Tsunade didn't see Kisame's figure, so she couldn't help but guess viciously.

"…"

Katsuyu shook her head helplessly and pointed to the hot spring lake with her tentacles, and signaled to Tsunade, "Kisame-sama is there."

'Oh?'

Hearing that Tsunade strode to the lake with high heels, and was surprised to find that the water level had dropped by several meters, showing signs of drying up.

Moreover, in her perception, the natural energy here is obviously not as strong as before.

"Katsuyu, what's going on?"

Tsunade turned around, frowned and asked Katsuyu.

Before Katsuyu could answer, a rumbling sound suddenly came from under the water, attracting Tsunade's attention again. She turned her head to look again, she was startled and took two steps back with a look of horror.

That's because a huge fish head floated out of the water, like a towering hill, casting a huge shadow.

'What is this?'

Just when Tsunade was in shock, the fish head opened its mouth talked to her:

"Tsunade, why are you here?"

"You, are you... Hoshigaki Kisame?!"

Tsunade's eyes widened, her voice stuttered, as she couldn't believe her guess.

"Tsunade-sama, what you see is only a part of Kisame-sama's body. Most of his huge body is hidden under the water, and his body shape is close to my body..."

Katsuyu stepped forward and explained it in detail to Tsunade.

"This lunatic..."

When Tsunade learned that Kisame had abandoned the human body and turned into the monster in front of her, she couldn't help but murmur, and couldn't come back to her senses for a long time.

After half an hour.

Under Tsunade's surprised eyes, Kunpeng opened his mouth wide and spat out a wet man from its mouth.

This is a clone created by Kisame using Senjutsu Chakra. It has 30% of the strength of his body and can last for several months.

"Let's go, I'll go back to Kirigakure with you. After all, I've been in retreat for half a year, so it's time to go back and have a look."

Kisame put on a suit and said to Tsunade.

Although he has abandoned the human form, it is more convenient for him to be a human being when he is active in the ninja world.

In addition, Kisame is sending his clone back to the ninja world this time for a very important purpose.

Under the hot spring.

Kunpeng, with a body length of nearly 400 meters, is like a fortress, quietly floating in the dark deep sea. Its eyes were closed, it's tail swayed gently in the sea water, and from time to time a series of huge blisters spit out from the vent.

At the bottom of the sea, the crust is broken, and the red magma overflowed continuously, rising to the sea surface, bringing a lot of heat and water vapor, and... rich natural energy.

Kunpeng, bathed in natural energy, developed and grew at an astonishing speed.

But unfortunately, the natural energy here is not endless. With the slowdown of submarine volcanic activity and using of natural energy, the concentration of energy is becoming thinner and thinner.

At this rate, in at least three to five years, or at most ten years, the natural energy of Shikkotsu Forest will be depleted.

Kisame realised this problem.

He has also done calculations and felt that If he wants to evolve into a Six Paths level creature, even if he devours all the natural energy of the Shikkotsu Forest, it may not be enough.

After all, although the Shikkotsu Forest is one of the three holy lands, it is only a small island after all. And the Shinju tree planted by the Otsutsuki clan back then absorbed the natural energy of almost the entire planet. Kaguya, who ate the fruit of the divine tree, has the power to change the world. She herself is the source of all chakra in the ninja world.

Therefore, Kisame clearly realised that he can't sit still and not take any action, he must take active actions and go to other places in the ninja world to find more energy.

The first thing that came to his mind was Mount Myoboku and Ryuchi Cave, which were as famous as the Shikkotsu Forest.

If the natural energies of these two places can be devoured, there is a high probability of him reaching the threshold of the Six Paths level.

But the problem is that both the White Snake Sage and  Gamamaru are real ruthless characters. The former is his enemy and she personally trained her successor, Nagato to deal with him.

It is still too early for him to think about the idea of fighting the two holy land.

But fortunately, as someone who is familiar with the plot, Kisame tried hard to recall the plot during this period of time, and sorted out a lot of valuable information.

In the ninja world, in addition to the three holy lands, there are some unknown places or mysterious items that also contain powerful energy.

Kisame can think of a total of four places.

Hero Water of Takigakure, Ryumyaku in Roran, Meteorite in Hoshigakure, and The Stone of Gelel.

The purpose of his clone this time was to collect these four things and bring them back to the Shikkotsu Forest for Kunpeng to devour. In this way, his hopes of hitting the Six Paths level are even greater.

Ten minutes later, Kirigakure.

"Please don't tell anyone else about what you saw in Shikkotsu Forest. After all, it involves my biggest secret."

Kisame and Tsunade pushed open the gate of the small courtyard, walked in side by side, as Kisame said to Tsunade.

Kunpeng is his biggest trump card. Once the evolution is completed, it means that Kisame has opened up a new path that only belongs to him outside the ninja system.

Before he achieves this goal, he must not be known by the enemy, so as not to change.

"What if I wanted to say it?"

Tsunade responded nonchalantly, habitually contradicting Kisame.

Hearing her, Kisame stopped.

"Then I can only kill you in advance." He said with a smile, sounding like he was joking.

But as soon as the words fell, Kisame suddenly burst out with terrifying murderous aura, and before Tsunade could react, he stretched out his hand like lightning and strangled her neck.

Tsunade was lifted off her feet off the ground, by Kisame's hand. Her face was flushed because she couldn't breathe, her plump body was shaking violently in the air.

'This guy is serious.'

Tsunade felt the powerful power from Kisame's hand, and seeing his cold and ruthless eyes, she finally realized the seriousness of the problem.

"Youu…"

She struggled hard, trying to form a seal to resist, but Kisame saw through her mind and exerted strength again on his hand, which suddenly made Tsunade roll her eyes again and again, and her consciousness quickly became blurred.

Just as Tsunade was about to be strangled to death by the sudden attack—

"Kisame-sama, Tsunade-sama! What's going on...?"

An exclamation came from the door.

Yukino stood at the door with a panicked look on her face, her hands on her chest at a loss, obviously frightened by this scene.

Hearing her question, Kisame smiled at her and comforted her: "It's okay, I'm just playing with Tsunade."

After he said this, his eyes flashed and let Tsunade go.

'Thus.'

Tsunade sat on the ground and covered her neck with her hands and coughed violently.

She coughed for a while, then breathed heavily, her chest heaving violently, it took a long time for her to recover, and her complexion finally returned to normal.

But her expression is still a look of lingering fear.

At this time, Kisame bent down, reached out to her with the big hand that had pinched her neck just now, and kindly pulled her up: "It's cold on the ground, don't sit for too long."

Tsunade said nothing, still sitting on the ground motionless, she raised her head and glared at Kisame.

"Tsunade-sama, are you alright?" Yukino trotted over and slowly helped Tsunade stand up.

"...I won't say anything."

Tsunade was silent for a while, made a promise to Kisame, then gritted her teeth and turned away.

Kisame felt relieved after hearing her promise.

He believed that the "warning" given to Tsunade just now was unforgettable.

Although Yukino was very curious about what happened between the two, she also knew that it would be better not to ask about some things, and it would be better if she acts like she didn't see them.

In contrast, she is more concerned about Kisame.

"Kisame-sama, I'm so happy to see you come back safely." She stepped forward, took Kisame's arm, and rested her head gently on her chest.

"I was in the wrong this time. I was too addicted to training, so I haven't contacted you for so long. I wanted to report that you are safe. You are worried unnecessarily."

Kisame put his arms around Yukino as he touched her hair, and said apologetically.

The two entered the house together.

"Kisame-sama, you must be hungry, I'll go to the kitchen and get you something to eat." Yukino went to get an apron as she spoke.

"I'm became hungry when you said that."

Kisame touched his stomach, and the corner of his mouth suddenly curled up, "But what I want to eat now is not the food you cook, but you."

As soon as he finished speaking, he strode forward, he picked her up and walked into the bedroom.

It was a long night.

Early the next morning, Kisame walked out of the room refreshed and found that Pakura had been waiting quietly in the living room.

He went into the kitchen, put on his apron, and made egg pancakes for breakfast. He first gave one to Yukino, who was resting in the bedroom, then came to the dining table with two plates, and said to Pakura:

"Have you eaten breakfast yet? Let's eat together. It's not too late to talk about anything."

"Yes."

Pakura replied softly, walked to the dining table, and ate food.

After breakfast.

Pakura came to the study room with Kisame, and reported to him the major and minor things that happened in the village in the past six months, as well as important information about the ninja world.

"Um."

While listening, Kisame nodded slowly, and then asked, "How is the situation over the Science Department? Is there any suspicious behavior from Sheji?"

When he left Kirigakure earlier, he specifically told Pakura to monitor Sheji (Orochimaru)'s every move.

"No. In the past six months, she spent most of her time going back and forth between the laboratory and the dungeon. Although she was cruel to those death row inmates and did a lot of human experiments with them, she did not harm other people in the village."

Pakura reported truthfully. Although she was curious about Sheji's origin and identity, she, like Yukino, didn't ask if she knew she shouldn't.

"I see."

Kisame nodded, and then asked Pakura some other things, such as Yamato's current situation, and her own situation.

During this process, Kisame suddenly discovered something strange about Pakura.

"Your hair…"

He noticed Pakura's short green hair, which didn't look like a wig, but was exactly the same color as her hair before she lost her hair.

"My hair is growing back."

Facing Kisame's gaze, Pakura lowered her head and explained with a blushing face, "In the past six months, I have completely assimilated the monster cell in my body. Therefore, I can now control my own power perfectly, and my own fire will not burn my hair now."

"So that's what happened."

Hearing that Kisame was relieved. He originally fed the monster cell to Pakura, hoping to stimulate the potential in her body, so that she would have the power to change her fate.

Later, after the Hozuki Prison Incident, Pakura was rescued by him, and since then she has followed him, which can be considered to have avoided the tragic fate in the anime in disguise.

But now it seems that Pakura is not willing to be mediocre, but has been practicing hard all the time, and unknowingly, she has grown into a Kage-level powerhouse.

Thinking of this, Kisame said to Pakura with some guilt:

"You've worked hard. Since you've been by my side, you've always worked tirelessly and silently, always faithfull and perfectly executed all the tasks I gave you, and never complained. And I, I ignored you. "

"Kisame-sama gave me a second life, and it is my honor to serve you."

Pakura still lowered her head and said.

After a moment of silence.

"If there's nothing else, I'll leave first." Pakura pushed her short hair behind her ears, picked up the Anbu mask on the table, and was about to turn around and leave.

"Wait."

Kisame stopped her and waved to her, "Come here."

"?"

Although Pakura was curious, she still walked towards Kisame. Unexpectedly, as soon as she came to him, Kisame's eyes flashed, and he pulled Pakura into his arms and hugged her.

"What!"

Facing Kisame's unexpected behavior, Pakura subconsciously exclaimed. After the initial panic, though, she didn't try to struggle, but quickly calmed down.

She was lying on Kisame's chest, her face and ears were red, her whole body was tense, and she waited silently with nervousness and anticipation.

It's no secret that she likes Kisame.

However, what happened next did not develop as Pakura imagined.

'Swish.'

A pair of sharp fangs popped out of Kisame's mouth, and then he aimed at her snow-white neck.

"Hiss!"

Pakura sucked in a breath of cold air, and a sharp pain hit her. She felt a huge and strange energy being injected into her body from Kisame's teeth, making her whole body's blood seem to boil.

She subconsciously hugged Kisame, leaving scratches on his back with her hands and fingers, trembling violently, but she endured all the pain without a word.

Because she knew that Kisame must have his reasons for doing this, and most of it is not a bad thing for her.

Fortunately, this severe pain didn't last long, otherwise Pakura would have fainted from the pain.

After a few seconds.

'Puff.'

As Kisame pulled out his teeth from Pakura's body and raised her head, she finally stopped being tormented by the pain, and relaxed all of a sudden, sweating profusely in his arms.

Pakura then fell into a deep sleep.

They stayed like that for a while.

Kisame hugged Pakura and carefully placed her flat on the sofa, then squatted down and looked at her neck

Above Pakura's collarbone, a black flame pattern appeared.

This is the curse mark.

In the anime, the curse mark is a jutsu developed by Orochimaru inspired by the White Snake sage, imitating the latter's method of injecting natural energy into ninjas with fangs.

Simply put, the curse seal is a simplified version of the sage mode.

Although the Orochimaru of this time and space has not yet met Jugo, and developed the curse mark by studying the latter's physique, similar ideas have already sprouted in his heart.

Kisame had previously discussed this issue with Orochimaru, and got a lot of inspiration and data from the latter.

Different from Orochimaru, Kisame is a real sage, and his understanding of the sage mode is higher than the former.

Therefore, during his retreat in the Shikkotsu Forest, with his own abilities and Katsuyu's assistance, he was able to study this Curse mark relatively smoothly.

Now, he gave Pakura the first one as a reward.

The appearance of the curse seal is related to the chakra of the host, so after it fuses with Pakura's chakra, it finally forms a flame pattern.

"Um…"

At this moment, Pakura let out a light hum, slowly opened her eyes, and woke up from unconsciousness.

"How do you feel now?"

Kisame asked with concern, and informed Pakura of the principles, effects, and usage of the curse mark.

"I feel... that Kisame-sama's energy is surging in my body, as if there is life, making me full of vitality, as if there is endless power."

Pakura got up from the sofa, lightly touched the curse mark above her collarbone with her hand, and answered with a look of disbelief.

"What you feel is my sage chakra."

Kisame said with a smile, and instructed Pakura, "Go back to get used to it for a while, and don't worry about it during this period. When you are ready, try to activate it again and see how it works."

His plan was to test it on Pakura first. If the effect of the curse mark is good, then he could select more good seedlings in Kirigakure and inject the curse mark into them one by one.

At that time, Kisame will be able to have a powerful curse mark army.

Kisame has long heard that Konoha sent a lot of ninjas to Mount Myoboku to learn senjutsu in an attempt to build an sage force.

However, no matter how much Mount Myoboku helped Konoha, the rigid requirements for cultivating sages were there, and it was destined that very few people would return after learning.

But the curse mark is different.

Although it can only be regarded as the beggar version of the sage mode, the power is only a fraction of the latter, but it is more universal, even a ninja with ordinary qualifications can use the power of the curse mark.

In the anime, Orochimaru developed many curse marks imitating senjutsu and used them on his disciples or subordinates, and the two most powerful ones were undoubtedly the curse mark of the heaven and the curse mark of the earth.

But in Kisame's eyes, these two curse marks are only half-baked.

As a real sage, with his deep understanding of sage mode and his own huge Chakra, the curse mark he developed is more than one grade stronger than Orochimaru's version.

Kisame named it the curse mark of the Kunpeng.

He has already made a list, including Terumi Mei, Ringo Ameyuri, Yamato, Kimimaro, and Haku. These geniuses from Kirigakure are the second batch of candidates for the Kunpeng's Curse mark after Pakura.

In the future, with the birth, cultivation or absorption of more geniuses, this list will be further expanded until Kisame has created a sage force strong enough to sweep the ninja world.

At that time, he may not need to go into action, Konoha and Akatsuki will be wiped out by this force.

'Huh?'

While Kisame was thinking about the future, he suddenly found that Pakura, who was standing in front of him, seemed a little lost.

"What's wrong with you, is the curse mark making your body uncomfortable?" he asked.

"No, nothing like that Kisame-sama."

Pakura said quickly, then made an excuse and hurriedly withdrew.

Kisame sighed.

He was not the honest person who didn't understand the ways of the world. He is aware of Pakura's feelings, but he hadn't thought about it for a while, so he don't know how to respond appropriately.

'Forget it, I will put this in the back of my mind.'

Kisame stood up and set off to the Kirigakure's Science Department.

Half a year ago, since he appointed Orochimaru as the Head of Science department, the latter moved the entire department building next to the prison in Kirigakure.

The basement of the building is the laboratory, which is directly connected with the prison next door through the tunnel, so that it is convenient to receive death-row inmates at any time.

After Kisame came here, he walked in the dark and cold underground passage, and heard the screams of the prisoner from a distance, which was horrifying.

Walking through the passage and entering the laboratory, he saw Sheji in a white coat and gold-rimmed glasses, who had just finished handling an experimental subject and was carefully washing her hands by the sink.

"Who?"

Several ninjas from the Science Department noticed that a stranger was approaching, and looked at the door one after another, shouting sharply. However, when they found out that the visitor was actually the Mizukage, they immediately looked terrified and quickly bowed and apologized.

"Okay, you all go out, I'm going to talk to Sheji alone for a while."

Kisame waved his hand and said lightly.

"Yes."

Hearing him, they withdrew respectfully.

However, after they left the laboratory, they glanced at each other, and then quietly looked back at Kisame and Sheji, and talked a lot while walking away.

In the eyes of the ninjas in the Science Department, Sheji is not only a talented scientist with knowledge and imagination, but also a beautiful and elegant woman.

This mysterious woman, within half a year of coming to the Science Department, with her knowledge and charm, convinced everyone, and many people secretly admired her.

But there have always been rumors about Sheji, that she is Mizukage's woman, so no one dares to hit on her no matter how bold they are.

Kisame's ears moved slightly, and all their discussions were heard by him.

"Looks like you're very popular."

He said casually while looking at the equipment in the laboratory, as he walked over to Sheji.

Orochimaru does have a powerful personality. Although he has transformed into a Sheji, his charm has not decreased at all, but has increased. He can easily win over a group of loyal subordinates who are willing to give everything, even their life, for him.

"Kisame-sama, don't make fun of me. Long time no see, I'm very happy to see you come back safely."

Sheji's eyes flashed, and she gave a half-bow and showed a charming smile.

This smile can be said to be 100% lethal to other men. But for Kisame who knows her, it has no effect.

"What have you been busy with recently, are there any new scientific research results?"

Kisame didn't talk nonsense with Sheji, and asked directly, as if the leader was reviewing the work of his subordinates.

"You're here just in time. Allow me to tell you about my progress in genetic technology."

Sheji made a gesture of invitation, and brought Kisame to a row of giant glass containers that were as tall as one person and filled with green nutrient solution. There were some babies floating in them. They were all curled up and seemed to be sleeping soundly.

Sheji explained to Kisame that these babies were not snatched from elsewhere, but clones produced by asexual reproduction using her own cells using biotechnology.

And her purpose of making so many clones is to test the latest genetic modification technology on them.

To put it simply, Sheji has used a large number of death row inmates for experiments in the past six months, and gradually explored the threshold of genetic modification technology.

This is a technology that can genetically modify ordinary people to gain other abilities. It is more perfect than forcibly implanting other people's cells (such as Hashirama cells), and it can be said that the ability of others is truly inherited into their own blood.

This is incredible.

Once her research is successful, ordinary people can also obtain various excellent genes through modification, such as powerful body, intelligence, and even Kekkei Genkai.

Sheji said excitedly that this is a technology that can benefit hundreds of millions of people in Kirigakure and the Land of Water, and use it to create a beautiful new world where everyone is like a dragon.

However, Sheji also admitted that this technology is still in its infancy, and there is still a long way to go.

Even if it is optimistically estimated, it will take at least ten years, or even longer, to solve various problems and hidden dangers, to truly get out of the laboratory, and benefit ordinary people.

"It's for a great cause."

After listening to her, he spoke highly of what Sheji was doing, and encouraged the latter to continue to work hard. He said that Kirigakure and he will provide her with all support within their ability.

"Kisame-sama, I will not disappoint you."

Sheji made a promise with burning eyes.

In the past, she was Orochimaru who was full of ambition and obsessed with the pursuit of power, but after experiencing the beating of fate, she seemed to have changed her mind and became enlightened.

Now, she no longer pursues that illusory immortality, but focuses on the present, trying to use her knowledge and technology to do something that can make the world a better place.

It can also be regarded as a kind of repentance and compensation for the wrongs done in the past.

"By the way, Kisame-sama, have you succeeded in your training this time?"

After Sheji reported her work to Kisame, she suddenly asked.

Half a year ago, she shared her experience in learning the Eight branches jutsu to Kisame, and helped the latter to improve the evolution plan. Now that Kisame has returned, what is the result?

Kisame shook his head, and said gloomily:

"Unfortunately, I failed. And after failing to evolve, I was attacked by my own Chakra, resulting in a great decrease in strength. You should have discovered this, right?"

"How could this be..."

Hearing that, Sheji suddenly showed a surprised look, as if she couldn't believe that Kisame would fail.

But in fact, she has sensed from just now that although the chakra in his is still huge, it is indeed much weaker than before.

"Keep working. I'm a little tired, so I'll go back to rest first."

Kisame seemed to be a little tired, and after giving Sheji a few simple instructions, he turned and walked out of the laboratory.

Sheji stood in place, watching Kisame's back gradually fade away, until the footsteps of the other party completely disappeared in the underground passage.

For a moment, her eyes flickered, thinking of something.

Kisame returned to the ground, and the corners of his mouth slowly curved up.

The words he said to Snake Ji just now were a bait.

He wanted to see if Sheji would move and become restless again when she learned that his strength was greatly damaged. Once she starts to do something, Kisame will not hesitate to attack and kill her.

After all, he has now successfully completed his evolution and no longer needs Sheji's help. Rather than keeping this unstable factor, he might as well remove the problem to avoid future troubles.

Of course, Kisame is not a ruthless person, so he gave Sheji, or Orochimaru, a chance.

It depends on whether the other party can grasp it.

After inspecting the science department, Kisame went to the next place - the medical department.

He was not worried or dissatisfied with Tsunade, on the contrary, he recognized Tsunade's ability and character very much, and believed that under her leadership, the medical department of Kirigakure would grow rapidly.

So, instead of going to Tsunade's office to find her, he found Rin Nohara in a ward after asking two little nurses.

Nohara Rin is sitting by the bedside, checking on a patient's recovery after surgery. She asked the other party's various questions earnestly, and recorded them. She was so focused that she didn't notice Kisame's arrival.

"Mizukage-sama."

It was the patient who discovered Kisame first and tried to get up from the hospital bed with a look of panic. Nohara Rin hearing that, turned around and saw Kisame, and also stood up in panic.

"Don't get up, take a good rest."

Kisame made a downward gesture, indicating that the patient did not need to salute him. Then he looked at Nohara Rin and said to her, "Come with me."

Then he walked out of the ward.

Rin felt uneasy, but followed up nervously.

The two came one after the other and came to a temporarily idle ward. After Rin entered the room, Kisame snapped his fingers, and the door closed with a "click" and locked.

"Mizukage-sama, may I ask if I can do anything for you?"

Facing the powerful Kisame, Rin asked cautiously, her voice stuttering.

"Am I that scary?"

Kisame laughed mockingly at himself. He clearly hadn't done anything yet, yet he frightened the little girl like this. It seems that his image of the villain has already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and he doesn't know if Tsunade instilled it in Rin.

"Mizukage-sama, I'm sorry, I..." Rin was even more frightened and didn't know how to answer.

"Okay, don't apologise, don't be afraid. I'm here this time to ask about the three tails in your body."

Kisame no longer teased her, and directly explained the situation.

The three tails was implanted by Madara Uchiha into Rin's body, and Madara controlled the three tails to some extent.

But after Madara died, the seal he left on Rin would inevitably loosen over time. If the three tails took the opportunity to run wild, Rin and the people around her would be in danger.

Nohara Rin is a trump card that Kisame prepared for Obito, so there is no way he would let her die inexplicably.

Facing this question, Rin was stunned for a moment, then calmed down and quickly replied:

"Kisame-sama, since half a year ago, the three tails has been restless in my body. It often tries to influence my mind and even seize control of my body. Fortunately, Tsunade-sama has strengthened the seal for me, and suppressed the three tails strength, it did not dare to harass me more often anymore."

After saying these words, she hesitated for a while, and finally lifted her clothes and showed the sealing technique on the lower abdomen to Kisame.

'Oh?'

Kisame looked at it, and recognized it at a glance, it was the seal of the wood style.

With Tsunade's current strength, even if Kyuubi is in front of her, I'm afraid he has to be honest, and it's not a problem for the mere three tails.

However, although Tsunade can help Rin suppress the Chakra of the three tails, so that the latter cannot be a demon, but there is no way to go further and help Rin completely solve the big trouble in her body.

Kisame came today, not only to solve the problems that plagued Rin, but also to turn the trouble named three tails into a Ace and become a power that Rin can master.

Thinking of this, he waved to Rin, then patted the hospital bed next to him, and said to her, "Come here, lie on this."

"…Yes."

Rin murmured, walked to the bedside and lay down slowly.

"Close your eyes and don't think about anything. Next, I'll enter your body and have a friendly conversation with that guy. After today, you won't have to worry about it anymore."

Kisame said as he smiled at Rin, and then stretched out a big hand and placed it on her lower abdomen.

"OK."

Rin stilled her body, obeyed Kisame's order, and closed her eyes.

Next second.

A powerful chakra burst out from Kisame's palm of, blasting a gap in the wood seal jutsu left by Tsunade. Immediately afterwards, his consciousness entered Rin's body.

It was a dark space, the ground was full of puddles of water, and the air was filled with a damp, musty smell.

'Da da da.'

Kisame stepped on the stagnant water, walked step by step to the depths of the darkness, and soon came to a huge cage.

This cage is made of thick wood, from which Kisame perceives Tsunade's familiar chakra.

At this time.

In the sealed space within Nohara Rin's body, behind the huge wooden prison.

A pair of scarlet eyes lit up in the darkness and a behemoth appeared, a large turtle with three tails covered in gray thorns.

The three tails, Isobu.

"Who dares to disturb my sleep?"

The three tails said angrily, and after seeing Kisame, he asked in a puzzled tone, "Why is there another person? What about the blond woman from last time, and the white-haired old man from previous time?"

The blonde woman in its mouth was obviously referring to Tsunade. As for the white-haired old man, it is naturally Madara Uchiha.

"Hey, human, I want to ask you something!"

Seeing that Kisame didn't answer its question right away, the three tails became very angry, and two icy chills spewed out of his nostrils, and the temperature drop a bit across the cell.

Facing the irritable three tails, Kisame raised his head, squinted his eyes and looked at the former for a while, and then he said calmly:

"Let me introduce myself, I'm the fifth Mizukage Hoshigaki Kisame. If I remember correctly, you were bought by Kirigakure at the first Five Kage meeting back then. The ruler of Kirigakure is your master , so in other words, I am your current master..."

"What did you say? I am not a pet of you humans!"

Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by the three tails. Furious, it slammed into the pillars of the prison with its huge and hard head, making a muffled "bang bang", making the cell crumble a bit.

However, Kisame simply ignored the three tails's protest, and continued to say:

"Listen, big turtle. I now order you as your master, from this moment on, stop all your disruptive behaviors immediately, I want you to lend your power to Nohara Rin, and do your best to help her become a perfect Jinchuriki. Do you understand?"

"Boy, you are dreaming!"

Hearing this, the three tails stopped destroying the prison, and sneered, his tone full of contempt.

As a tailed beast, most human beings are like ants in its eyes, especially the little girl named Nohara Rin, who is so weak and pitiful that it has never been in its eyes.

To ask it to lower itself and lend Chakra to Nohara Rin is simply a nonsense and an impossible thing.

"It seems you don't agree."

Kisame shook his head, sighed and said, "Since this is the case, there is no other way. Remember, I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it yourself."

After saying this, he walked straight to the prison under Three tails shocked and angry eyes, and put one hand on the pillar. In the next second, with a sound of clicking, a large number of cracks appeared on the surface of the pillar, which meant that the sealing jutsu left by Tsunade was being disintegrated.

After a while, the seal, which was blocking the three tails from escaping, collapsed suddenly under Kisame's Chakra.

"I am free?"

The three tails was stunned when he saw this. Although it doesn't know why Kisame did this, since the seal has been lifted, this place can no longer trap it.

However, just as the three tails was about to kill Kisame and escape from Nohara Rin's body—

Kisame standing opposite to it suddenly showed a stern smile, and then swelled and deformed, and in just a few seconds, he became a real behemoth.

Whale body, shark fins, eagle wings, dragon tail.

Kunpeng, appeared.

Even though this clone only has one-third of his total Chakra, that is not comparable to a tailed beast like three tails, the Kunpeng is something that exceeded the three tails imagination.

"What the.. What are you...what?"

The three tails looked at the Kunpeng that more than five times its size in horror. From its body, it felt a terrifying force that made his soul tremble with fear.

It must be known that, it is a tailed beast, and it is the existence at the top of the food chain in nature. But now, the three tails felt for the first time that it had become prey.

Facing the suppression from Kunpeng, the big tortoise was terrified and subconsciously retreated.

The next second, Kunpeng is opened its abyss-like mouth and activated the power of devouring, an irresistible strong suction force came out of Kunpeng's mouth and enveloped the three tails.

Under the strong suction like a black hole, the desperate three tails couldn't even form any sort of resistance, and it's huge body floated off the ground and flew into Kunpeng's mouth.

The three tails was swallowed by Kisame.

Tailed beasts are actually not living beings, their essence is a mass of chakra.

When the nine tailed beasts combine together, they become ten tails's chakra. This chakra can be combined with the Gedo Statue, and the real ten-tailed can be resurrected.

Due to their own characteristics, tailed beasts are almost immortal. They can only be sealed in most cases. Even if they are killed by human ninjas, they can be reborn in the wild after a period of time.

This is the confidence behind the three tails arrogance.

Unfortunately, it encountered Kunpeng.

The Kunpeng incarnated by Kisame, by virtue of its ability to devour energy, can be said to be the nemesis of all tail beasts. In Kisame's eyes, there is not much difference between the tail beast and the natural energy, it is just his food.

After swallowing the three tails, in a short while, the chakra of this tailed beast was absorbed by Kunpeng. If this continues, the three tails will soon disappear completely from this world, and there will be only eight tail beasts left in the world.

At this moment, Kunpeng suddenly opened his mouth slowly and spat out the three tails, who was covered in gastric juices.

This is not because Kunpeng is experiencing indigestion, but because Kisame deliberately saved three tails's life, after all, the latter's life has been tied to Nohara Rin. If the three tails died, Rin would probably die too.

'Boom.'

The three tails fell to the ground. At this time, its size has shrunk in, and it is only half of what it was before.

Under Kisame's coercion, it was so frightened that it retracted its head and limbs into the turtle shell, shivered, and no longer looked like it was before.

Kisame changed back to human form and landed in front of it.

'Dong dong!'

Kisame knocked the tortoise shell and said lightly: "I have taken half of your chakra as a punishment for your disrespect. Now, answer my previous question again, or your other half will become a part of me."

After he finished speaking, he showed a wicked smile.

'Swish.'

Hearing that, the three tails head protruded from the turtle shell, and said with an extremely terrified:

"Kisame-sama, please don't devour my chakra. I will follow your order and help Nohara Rin wholeheartedly and help her become a perfect Jinchuriki."

As long as it thought of the experience in Kunpeng's stomach, the pain of being forcibly deprived of Chakra is simply unforgettable, and it never wants to experience it again.

The three tails had already deeply realized how terrifying the man in front of him was, he was definitely the most terrifying human being he had ever seen.

"Very good. Wouldn't it be better if you promised me earlier? You wouldn't have suffered a little to know the truth, right?"

Kisame nodded with satisfaction, and said a few words with a half-smile, which made the big turtle regret it's previous actions.

But in fact, Kisame's purpose this time was to devour half of three tails Chakra. Regardless of its attitude, this outcome will not change and is predestined.

Moreover, for Kisame, this is only the beginning.

His bigger plan is to find the nine tail beasts scattered all over the Ninja world in turn, and devour all or part of their chakra. At that time, it is equivalent to swallowing a ten tails in disguise.

In other words, Kisame has a total of three preparations for his growth.

Right now, his body is absorbing natural energy in the Shikkotsu Forest;

This clone is going out to find various huge energy sources all over the Ninja world, such as Ryumyaku and Gelel's stone veins;

In addition, coupled with the plan to hunt the nine tail beasts.

With such a three-pronged approach, Kisame firmly believes that the Kunpeng he transformed into will become a Six Paths level creature one day in the future.

Coming back to the present.

Kisame looked at the three tails, who was crawling on the ground in front of him, and said lightly again:

"Remember what you said just now. If I find out that you have acted dishonestly, or deliberately lazy, treating Nohara Rin badly. I will not give you a second chance. Do you understand?"

"Understood!"

The three tails nodded again and again. This time, it really understood.

Kisame didn't say anything more, turned around and left.

His consciousness retreated from Nohara Rin's body.

"Okay, you can open your eyes now."

Beside the hospital bed, Kisame said to Rin. The latter hearing that and slowly opened her eyes, but the tension and unease in her expression still did not fade away.

At this time, Kisame's hand that was placed on Rin's stomach made a gentle wiping action. The seal that Tsunade left before was wiped away by him.

Immediately afterwards, he re-seals, leaving a new seal on Rin's lower abdomen.

In this way, once Three tails tries to break the seal, or someone tries to break the seal, he can immediately perceive it and take corresponding actions.

After doing that, Kisame explained to Rin:

"You must be curious about what did I do after I entered your body. Don't worry, the three tails will no longer be your trouble in the future. If you don't believe it, you can try to communicate with its chakra now."

When Rin heard that, she was in shock and tried to do what Kisame said.

Sure enough, the big tortoise who either ignored her or yelled at her fiercely in the past turned out to be surprisingly docile at this time, with a very good attitude.

"Mizukage-sama, what did you do? Did you tame this tailed beast in my body?" Rin raised her head in disbelief and asked Kisame carefully.

"You guessed it right. There's only so much I can do for you."

Kisame nodded, looked at Rin, and said earnestly, "I know that it is not your own will to become the three-tailed Jinchuriki, you are forced, and you are the victim of a conspiracy. But you should also understand that it is done, whether you accept it or not, you and the three tails can't be separated again in this life, unless you die. So my advice to you is - accept the status quo, and use the power of this tailed beast to arm yourself and make yourself stronger."

After listening to Kisame's words, Rin was silent for a moment, showing an expression of serious thought, and finally nodded solemnly:

"Yes! Mizukage-sama, thank you for your kindness, I will definitely live up to your teachings."

She knew that Kisame did this for her own good. Rin was deeply grateful for this.

"Then that's much the better."

When Kisame heard her, he looked at Rin and smiled. Rin's tense body was finally relieved and no longer stiff.

At this time.

"Rin, are you in there? What did that guy do to you?"

Outside the door, Tsunade's shout came suddenly. Immediately afterwards, with a "bang", the door of the ward was kicked open, Tsunade and her other disciple Shizune appeared at the door.

Ten minutes ago, Tsunade was going to send Rin to run errands, but couldn't find her anywhere. After asking the nurse, she learned that Rin was taken away by Kisame, and don't know what happened to her.

Although Tsunade did not take Rin Nohara as a disciple for a long time, but the latter's talent was deeply appreciated by her, and her character was also deeply loved by her. In her heart, Rin and Shizune were both her beloved disciples.

Therefore, when she heard that Kisame had taken Rin, she felt bad, and hurriedly took Shizune to look around. Until just now, she felt that the seal she left on Rin had been cracked, and finally locked the position and moved to her in one breath.

Sure enough, as soon as Tsunade kicked the door, she saw Rin lying on the hospital bed with her clothes lifted. And Kisame's big hand was placed on Rin's lower abdomen, and he seemed to be doing something indescribable.

"You bastard, let her go!"

Tsunade was instantly furious, raised her fist and rushed towards Kisame.

Rin was stunned as she watched Tsunade rush over. After she came back to her senses, she hurriedly shouted, " Tsunade-sama, you misunderstood! Kisame-sama is here to help me. He subdued the three tails in my body!"

'Um?'

Tsunade was startled, but she couldn't stop the attack in time, and already rushed in front of Kisame.

Kisame's reaction was quick, he reached out and grabbed Tsunade's wrist with a swoosh, blocking her punch. Then he pulled back and let Tsunade turn in a circle, defusing her momentum, and let her fall directly into his arms.

'Boing.'

The two bumped into each other.

"What do you think you are doing by running to my arms in such a hurry? Rin and Shizune are watching. Doing in front of children, what a bad influence you are."

Kisame felt the softness of Tsunade's body, smelled the fragrance of the woman who was close at hand, and teased her as soon as he opened his mouth.

Tsunade's face flushed in a flash, and she quickly struggled to move out from Kisame's arms.

She snorted coldly, and instead of picking up on Kisame's words, she looked at Rin who was on the side, changed the subject and asked, "Rin, what's going on?"

Nohara Rin glanced at Kisame, seeing that there is no objection, so she told Tsunade truthfully what had just happened.

' That's what happened.'

Tsunade hearing her finally calmed down. After all, she was too nervous and thought too bad about Kisame.

In fact, before that, she also tried to communicate with the three tails in Rin's body, but that guy relied on it ability to share his life with Rin, had no fear, and didn't agree with her.

In desperation, she could only help Rin strengthen the seal and put The three tails into a deep sleep.

Now it seems that the wicked still need the wicked to grind it.

'I don't know what method he used. Anyway, he made the three tails to be obedient, and he was willing to lend his power to Rin to help her grow.'

Thinking of this, Tsunade hesitated again and again, but reluctantly said: "Thank you."

"If you're so reluctant, you don't need to thank me, don't force yourself."

Kisame patted Tsunade's shoulder, and strode out of the ward under her resentful eyes.

He didn't go to the office or go home, but after he came outside, he soared into the sky with his wings on his back.

Time to hunt.

At an altitude of one thousand meters, Kisame flew, and in less than half a day, he left the Land of Water.

He has already made a plan for this "treasure hunt":  he will first go to Hoshigakure in the Land of Bears to get the star meteorite, then go to the Takigakure to get the Hero Water, and then go to the ruins of the ancient country of Roran to explore the Ryumyaku. The last is the Gelel's Stone vein, because he don't know the specific location, he can only search it randomly.

The Land of Bears is located in the southwest of the Land of Water, separated by a sea.

Not long ago, due to Kisame killing the Daimyo, the major countries announced that they would cut off diplomatic relations with the Land of Water at the same time. Although the Land of Bears is a small country, it may be to show its sense of existence and followed suit in a high-profile manner. Not only did it break off diplomatic relations with the Land of Water, it even announced a series of sanctions against the Land of Water.

Moreover, the leader of the Hoshigakure in the Land of Bears, among the many small Ninja villages in the Ninja World, is the only one who dares to call himself the title of "Kage", claiming to be as famous as the Kages of the Five Great Ninja Villages.

This shows that although this country is small, its ambitions are huge.

And the reason why Hoshigakure is so crazy is because of a meteorite, which is a treasure that the five major Ninja villages have coveted for a long time.

Kisame recalled the plot and sorted out some information.

More than two hundred years ago, a meteorite fell from the sky and fell near the Hoshigakure 

At that time, the first Kage of Hoshigakure accidentally discovered that this mysterious meteorite has the power to activate chakra, which means that it can be used for training!

So, after some secret research, he finally developed a secret jutsu called Mysterious Peacock Method.

But later, during the third HoshiKage period, the Mysterious Peacock Method was suddenly banned from practicing.

That's because the third HoshiKage found that although the star meteorite increases the chakra of the ninja, it will also have huge side effects on the practitioner's body.

There are gains and losses.

Many ninjas in the Hoshigakure, while rapidly gaining powerful strength, have suffered damage to their health, and even lost their lives in the worst case.

According to Kisame, this star meteorite has a high probability of coming from the moon in the sky. To be more precise, it used to be a part of the ten tails, and it accidentally fell off and fell into the ninja world, so it has such a huge energy.

However, the ten-tails chakra is definitely not something that mortals can withstand, which is why ninjas who practice the Mysterious Peacock Method die in large numbers.

This meteorite is his target.

Before he knew it, he had already leaped over the sea and came to the territory of the Land of Bears.

There was a long and narrow valley below, stretching across the ground for dozens of miles. Passing through this valley, he reached a place that is not far from Hoshigakure.

"This is the reason why Hoshigakure can survive for two hundred years, and has not been destroyed by other Ninja Villages and robbed the meteorite."

Kisame landed from a high altitude, looked down at the valley under his feet, and muttered to himself.

It was because this stretch of valley was filled with yellow miasma, full of poison.

"Chirp."

A bird passed by Kisame, flapping its wings and tried to cross the valley, but it inhaled poisonous gas and struggled while falling into the deep valley.

Not even a bird can fly across, let alone a human being.

In fact, if looked closely, anyone will find that at the bottom of the valley, a large number of bones of animals are faintly visible, which is enough to show that this is a forbidden area for life.

Hoshigakure, not only sits on the treasure named star meteorite, but also has a Kage. For a long time, he has been provoking neighboring countries and Ninja Villages, and there is no limit to his actions.

However, due to the existence of this valley surrounding them with poisonous gas, the Hoshigakure has a natural barrier that can prevent the invasion of other Ninja villages.

Konoha, Suna and Kirigakure who were "sanctioned" by Hoshigakure not long ago, all had the idea of destroying it, but when the ninjas of the major Ninja villages came to this valley of death, they had to stay away and can only go back in vain.

Therefore, Hoshigakure was safe and sound, and survived independently to this day.

Until Kisame arrvied.

This little valley can't stop him, after all, he can fly. Even if he can't to fly, with the inhuman steel body he cultivated, if he swaggered through the valley, there is a high probability that he will be fine.

After crossing the valley and continuing to fly forward, Kisame saw a huge crater in the distance.

This crater is very spectacular. It is the largest one Kisame has ever seen, with a diameter of more than 300 meters and a depth of more than 100 meters. At the bottom center of the big pit, there is a tall building of earth red colour, which is a years old at first glance.

It is the place where the meteorite has been worshipped in Hoshigakure for two hundred years and the ninjas in the village can practice.

Kisame's plan is very simple, just walk in, see the meteorite, take it and leave.

Of course, considering that he is now a Demi-God of the Ninja World, the ruler of the Land of Water, and a perfect sage in the hearts of hundreds of millions of people, if he engages in robbery in an open and out manner, the matter will spread out, and the impact will be somewhat bad.

Therefore, Kisame put on the cloak and mask again, and temporarily transplanted Obito's Sharingan and the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan.

'Whoosh.'

He jumped off the edge of the big pit, and after a few ups and downs, he came to the building.

'Huh?'

After he arrived, Kisame found that the defense force here seemed to be very lax. Although Hoshigakure had never been invaded by foreign enemies, after all, it was an important place in the village, but there was not even a guard.

He didn't encounter any obstacles, so he swaggered open the door and walked in, passed through the courtyard, and soon came to the main hall where the meteorite was worshipped.

Here, Kisame understood why.

Because the base that should have been enshrined with meteorites was empty at this time, with only a thick layer of dust.

Star meteorites have been stolen, and it was not recent.

Seeing this, Kisame frowned slightly. Just then, he noticed someone in the next room.

'Creak.'

Kisame opened the door and saw a dozen ninjas at a glance. The oldest was only about 20 years old, and the youngest was even in his early 10s, but all of them had no youthful vitality and were all lying on the hospital bed.

"Cough cough..."

These people kept coughing, coughing up black blood from their throats, all of them looked miserable, and some people even fell into a coma, their situation unknown to all.

Kisame saw through the bodies of these Hoshigakure ninjas, and he found that the tenketsu points in their bodies were disordered, and the chakra was activated to the limit, making the body unable to withstand it.

This is the symptom after being irradiated by a meteorite.

Kisame just glanced at them and knew that these people were no longer saved, so they were thrown here by other villagers to die - this is the price mortals paid for stealing the power of the Ten Tails.

He walked to the nearest patient, grabbed the latter's collar, lifted him from the bed, and asked in a deep voice:

"Hey, you aren't dead yet, right? Tell me, who stole the meteorite."

The man was frightened by Kisame's aura, and quickly replied with a horrified expression: "It's the Jonin couple, Natsuhi and Hotarubi from the village. They stole the meteorite and were expelled from the village by the Kage."

'Oh?'

When Kisame heard these two names, he frowned, recalled the plot again, and finally remembered.

During the third HoshiKage period, there appeared a genius female ninja in Hoshigakure called Natsuhi.

With her super talent, she practiced the Mysterious Peacock Method to the extreme, but in the process, she discovered that meteorites can cause huge damage to the human body.

Her husband, Harutobi, was a victim who was seriously ill from the radiation of the meteorite and died soon.

Under such circumstances, in order not to let the power of the meteorite hurt more innocent villagers, they made up their minds to steal the meteorite from the village and seal it up.

It seems that Kisame is a step late.

But according to his speculation, the couple must not have run far away, maybe they are near Hoshigakure.

After all, they are seriously ill and are not far from death, they can't stand the long journey. Besides, if the two left the Land of the Bear with the meteorite, it is estimated that they will be targeted soon.

So, they can only stay and hide.

However, although it is said that the Land of Bears is not big, it is not small either. It is definitely not easy to find them in the vast crowd.

Unless he finds the third HoshiKage.

This person must know where the husband and wife are, because as far as Kisame knows, he deliberately let them go.

Thinking of this, Kisame released his hand and threw the terminally ill Ninja of Hoshigakure back to the hospital bed. For this uninvited guest who suddenly broke in, all the patients in the room looked at him in panic at this time.

"Look into my eyes."

Before Kisame left, he used his chakra and said to a group of patients. Immediately afterwards, he used his Sharingan to create a deadly illusion.

In an instant, all the patients who looked at Kisame were shocked, and then they slowly closed their eyes with smiles on their faces, as if they had entered a sweet dreamland.

Kisame, ended the suffering of these people in advance and let them die in bliss.

'Creek.'

He pushed open the door and went straight to Hoshigakure.

As night fell, the lights in Hoshigakure were sparse, and many villagers had fallen asleep.

A figure, bypassing all the guards, silently sneaked into HoshiKage office.

"Who?!"

An old man who was working at a desk suddenly raised his head and found in horror that a mysterious man wearing a cloak and a mask appeared in his office.

This person is the third HoshiKage. He has lived for more than 100 years and is the longest-lived person in the entire Hoshigakure.

"For the sake of the lives of your subordinates, I advise you not to call anyone, otherwise there will soon be more than a dozen corpses in this office."

Kisame saw through his intention and said lightly, "You don't need to know who I am, just know that I am here for the star meteorite."

When the HoshiKage heard these words and quickly calmed down. He shook his head and said solemnly, "Unfortunately, you are late. The meteorite has been stolen by traitors of the village, and its whereabouts are unknown."

"You're talking about Natsuhi and Harutobi, aren't you? Didn't you let them go on purpose, HoshiKage?"

Kisame looked at HoshiKage with a sharp look in his eyes, and as soon as he said this, the latter's expression changed.

Yes, he deliberately let go of the husband and wife.

Because, he discovered the drawbacks of cultivating the Mysterious Peacock Method at an early age. He wanted to stop this in the village many times, but as HoshiKage, he hesitated for a long time and never made up his mind.

Until the couple stole the meteorite, HoshiKage realized that the opportunity was coming, so he expelled the two on the grounds of protecting the village.

In this way, he can justifiably stop the villagers from practicing the Mysterious Peacock Method, after all, the meteorites are gone.

"I do not understand what you are saying."

Faced with Kisame's questioning, Hoshikage tried to pretend to be confused.

It's a pity that it was dismantled by Kisame in the next second.

"You could have ordered someone to kill them and get the meteorite, but instead of doing so, you used two people to take the meteorite away from the village. Your purpose, like the husband and wife, is to protect the villagers and let them leave the village. So that they are no longer harmed by meteorites, right?"

Kisame not only dismantled his lie, but also revealed the latter's true intentions in one go.

HoshiKage was shocked when he heard this, and he stood up as he shivered and said, "You, who are you?"

"Don't care who I am, old man. Have you ever thought that even though you want to stop practising the Mysterious Peacock Method, but will those who have tasted strength give up easily? To solve this matter once and for all, you have to rely on me, a Kind man. I came to help you out of the sea of misery."

Kisame didn't hold back and laughed out loud.

Ten minutes later.

Kisame quietly left Hoshigakure and flew above the night sky.

After "persuading" HoshiKage painstakingly, he got the information he wanted.

To the southeast, in the mountains fifty kilometers away, there is a hidden cave. According to him, the couple and the star meteorite are hidden there.

'Swiii.'

Kisame looked in their direction, flapped his wings and galloped away.

…

In the distance, the outlines of the mountains loomed in the darkness.

Kisame came to the sky above the place HoshiKage said. Although he didn't find the cave immediately, he heard a lot of movement in the woods below.

There are ninjas fighting.

Kisame looked down and found that more than a dozen ninjas of unknown origin were besieging a woman.

The woman has long red hair and delicate facial features. She is a beautiful woman, and her body emitted strong chakra fluctuations, indicating that she is at least a Jonin .

She is the genius of Hoshigakure, once in a hundred years genius, Natsuhi.

"Hand over the star meteorite!"

The group of ninjas besieging Natsuhi shouted sharply, pressing her step by step.

"You want to take away the meteorite, but unfortunately you don't have that ability."

Natsuhi said coldly and quickly formed hand signs, a substantial purple chakra appeared on her body, and formed into a beautiful peacock's tail behind her.

This is the Mysterious Peacock Method.

Its principle is to combine the energy absorbed by the ninja from the meteorite with their own chakra, and then transform it into peacock tail feathers behind the caster to exert a powerful force.

However, from Kisame's perspective, the Peacock tails behind Natsuhi are more than ten.

"Haaa!"

Natsuhi let out a clear shout, and as her hands clasped together, the tail behind her turned into beasts. These chakra-shaped beasts, with their teeth and claws, roared and charged towards the enemy.

After a series of screams.

Under the gorgeous ninjutsu counterattack in by Natsuhi, all the enemies fell to the ground one after another, and no one was spared, turning into cold corpses.

"Humph."

Natsuhi snorted softly, put these corpses into the big pit she had dug a long time ago, and buried them. Then she raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead and breathed a sigh of relief.

Neither she nor the ninjas who fought her were unaware that Kisame was right above their head and was watching all this.

The one-sided battle with a huge disparity in the numbers of the enemy has ended soon, with the final winner is the one with fewer people. This shows how much of a genius Natsuhi is

"These guys are really persistent."

After Natsuhi buried them, she muttered to herself. Ever since she and her husband, Harutobi, took the star meteorite out of Hoshigakure, many covetous people chased after them.

This is the sixth batch of enemies she has killed.

There is no other way, the temptation of meteorite to ninjas is too great. Almost everyone knows that this meteorite contains an incomparably huge amount of energy. As long as they can get it, they can get a powerful force that surpasses all living beings.

But if they want to get that power, they have to pay the price with thei life.

This meteorite has made countless people crazy.

Fortunately, this is the Land of Bears, and there is a valley full of poisonous gas, which isolates the passage from the outside world. Otherwise, if the five Ninja villages get the news, after they send the elite troops, Natsuhi will not be able to resist alone.

She rested in place for a while, and after regaining some energy, she looked around vigilantly, until she confirmed that no enemy was hiding in the dark, she turned and walked into the depths of the woods.
