Kisame

Facing of the other party's questioning, Kisame replied with a smile:

 

"Everyone, don't be nervous, and don't get me wrong. I'm a bounty hunter, and this time I came to Takigakure with the body of the traitor."

 

As soon as he said that, he took out Kakuzu's body from the Box of Ultimate Bliss.

 

"This is…"

 

The Taki ninjas led by their head saw the Taki Shinobi forehead guard with a cut on it, and after carefully recognizing the latter's appearance, someone suddenly shouted in shock, "It's Kakuzu! "

 

Kakuzu.

 

This name made everyone's heart beat violently, thinking of the unbearable past of Takigakure.

 

 

At that time, after Kakuzu killed the senior officials of Takigakure and defected, Takigakure did issue a bounty for him. But as the decades passed, Kakuzu disappeared without a trace, and no one was ever able to find him, let alone kill him.

 

Until now.

 

This is what Kisame planned.

 

Although he came for the Hero water, he did not intend to rob it directly, but take out something equivalent to it and exchanged it with Takigakure.

 

He also didn't want to disagree with them and make a mess that would cause a lot of people to lose their lives.

 

However, the head's response made Kisame narrow his eyes and frown slightly.

 

"Is this really Kakuzu's corpse?"

 

The head frowned as he looked at the corpse on the ground a few times, then looked at the Kisame, and asked with suspicion.

 

Kakuzu defected from Takigakure, around thirty years ago. After such a long time, the people in the village almost forgot about it, and only few people could recognize Kakuzu.

 

Therefore, he had reason to suspect that this suspicious man wearing a mask in front of him forged Kakuzu's corpse and came to Takigakure to get the bounty.

 

Facing his questioning, Kisame expressed his understanding. He then squatted down beside Kakuzu's's corpse, then grabbed one of the corpse's arms and pulled it hard.

 

'Swish.'

 

As the arm was ripped from the corpse, a large number of black wires at the joints of the arm were also exposed to everyone's eyes.

 

"You should be familiar with this kind of black wires, right?" Kisame threw the arm connected to the black wires to him.

 

"This is... Earth grudge." The head was shocked and no longer doubted the identity of the corpse.

 

Earth grudge is a secret technique unique to Takigakure, and it can be said to be the treasure of the village. However, this secret technique has been lost to the village ever since Kakuzu killed all the senior members of Takigakure and took it away.

 

Thinking of this, he stared at Kisame with a greedy look, and asked in a deep voice, "Is Earth grudge in your hands now?"

 

He thought that Kisame would be vague and avoid this question, but the latter nodded directly:

 

"Yes."

 

As soon as these words came out, all the ninjas in Takigakure, including the head, had their eyes lit up and breaths quickened.

 

"Hand it over." He continued, his eyes growing sharper, and his tone was somewhat threatening.

 

As if Kisame was unaware about it, said with a smile:

 

"Earth grudge is the secret technique of Takigakure, and it is natural to return things to the original owner, but before that, let's talk about money first. The bounty is 50,000,000 ryo, and for the earth grudge, for my hard work, I think it's around 50 million ryo, give me a total of 100 million ryo."

 

One hundred million ryo, this number is not something that Kisame asked outrageously.

 

The 50,000,000 ryo bounty for Kakuzu was set by Takigakure itself. As for the Earth grudge, in Kisame's view, this kind of secret technique that can make people immortal, not to mention 50 million ryo, even 500 million ryo is not too much.

 

However, this number changed the expressions of the head of Takigakure and the others.

 

Since the decline of Takigakure, it has been almost isolated from the world. The ninjas in the village cannot receive tasks, and sometimes they cannot even have enough to eat.

 

Now asking them to pay 100 million ryo is simply a fantasy, and even selling the entire village is not enough.

 

But the Earth grudge must be brought back.

 

So, the head signaled at his group of subordinates, and everyone understood, and they all took their weapons and further approached Kisame, and surrounded him firmly.

 

As long as the head gave an order, they would rush up and hack the mysterious masked man to death.

 

"Before you start, I have to remind you."

 

Kisame saw through everyone's intentions, and still said to them calmly, "How do you think I killed Kakuzu? Also, although I came here alone, outside the waterfall, maybe there are companions waiting to meet me?"

 

When he heard the words, the head narrowed his eyes, and immediately made a gesture to signal his subordinates not to act rashly.

 

Indeed, being able to kill Kakuzu, who had practiced the Earth grudge, alone was enough to show the strength of the mysterious masked man in front of him.

 

He is a hard bone.

 

If they force this person to do something, it will definitely be a war. At that time, not only will they suffer a large number of casualties, but if they let this person escape, they won't be able to get back the Earth grudge.

 

Considering these circumstances, the head was no longer aggressive, but slowed down a bit and said to Kisame:

 

"Frankly speaking, we can't take out 100 million ryo. This amount of money is too much. Look, can we take credit first? I promise you as the leader of Takigakure, I will collect this money as soon as possible."

 

"That won't do."

 

Kisame folded his arms and shook his head, rejecting it on the spot. Seeing that the head was about to get angry, he changed his words and said, "However, it doesn't matter if you don't have money, you can exchange other things of equal value with me for Kakuzu's corpse and the Earth grudge. "

 

"So... what do you want?" The head narrowed his eyes, already vaguely guessing the other party's true intention to come to Takigakure.

 

He guessed right.

 

"Hero water."

 

As soon as the ninjas of Takigakure heard these words, they immediately exploded.

 

"No! The Hero water is a treasure that has been passed down for thousands of years. From ancient times to the present, only ninjas called heroes in the village are qualified to take it, and it is absolutely impossible to give it to an outsider."

 

An older Taki Ninja said decisively.

 

Hearing what the man said, Kisame immediately answered: "I killed the S-rank traitor of Takigakure and regained the secret art of Earth grudge for the village. Aren't I a hero of Takigakure? As for you saying that I'm an outsider, that's easy, I can join Takigakure right away."

 

"Uh..." The man was speechless, because what Kisame said seemed to make sense.

 

At this time, another person stared at Kisame and warned:

 

"The Hero water is only born once in a hundred years. Drinking it will make the chakra in one's body soar tenfold, but if you aren't a powerful person like the head, you might not be able to withstand that power, and you would explode on the spot. Even if you get the Hero water, I am afraid you are not qualified to drink it."

 

"You don't have to worry about this. I'm very confident in myself. Although I'm not a Jinchuriki, everyone calls me a human-tailed beast. I can drink a bottle of Hero water without stopping."

 

Kisame seemed to be boasting and showing off, but in fact, he has said it very modestly.

 

"Enough."

 

The head interrupted everyone's quarrel, stared at Kisame with deep eyes, suddenly smiled, and stretched out a hand to the latter, "Deal! The corpse of the traitor Kakuzu along with the Earth grudge Kinjutsu, for the Hero Water, it's a very reasonable deal in my opinion."

 

"Refreshing! In order to show my sincerity, I will hand over the Earth grudge to you first."

 

Kisame smiled back, and took out a scroll from his arms and threw it directly to him.

 

In this scroll, there is the genuine method to train the Earth grudge, but after obtaining this Kinjutsu, Kisame has already left a backup, so it does not matter if the original version is returned to Takigakure.

 

After he took the scroll, the head glanced at Kisame in surprise, because he did not expect the other party to be so generous. Then, he couldn't wait to open the scroll and read it carefully.

 

It is indeed Earth grudge.

 

When he confirmed that this was indeed Takigakure's long-lost Earth grudge, he was overjoyed and hurriedly put the scroll carefully close to him.

 

"Where is my hero water?" At this moment, Kisame asked again.

 

"Haha. My friend, don't worry."

 

When he heard him, the head said to Kisame very enthusiastically, "It will take a little time to collect the Hero water. Why don't you stay in Takigakure tonight, and tomorrow morning, I promise to hand the Hero water to you."

 

Kisame glanced at him with a half-smile, and readily agreed: "Okay, it's up to you. I'm a little tired from running all the way, I will take a hot bath and sleep comfortably."

 

As soon as he finished speaking, he strode past them, pushed the crowd away, and walked towards Takigakure on the shore of the lake.

 

Kisame is not worried that they will cheat him.

 

From the moment the other party accepted his conditions and accepted Kakuzu's corpse and the earth grudge scroll, this hero water was destined to be his possession.

 

'I hope these guys from Takigakure doesn't plan die. If they dare to play tricks or even break the contract, I can kill them with peace of mind.'

 

Kisame smiled and unknowingly crossed the wooden bridge over the lake and entered Takigakure Ninja Village.

 

"Where is the leader home?" He grabbed a random villager and asked.

 

"There, over there." The villager was frightened by the terrifying aura, pointed to a house not far away, and said while trembling.

 

"Thanks."

 

Kisame smiled, revealing two rows of fangs, then swaggered across the street, pushed open the door the house and walked in.

 

'Huh?'

 

As soon as he entered the yard, he saw a woman in plain clothes, she had a beautiful face and a good figure and was doing laundry there.

 

On her back was a less than one-year-old baby with short green hair, which looked like the head's child.

 

Then, this woman should be Ye Feng's wife.

 

"Who are you? Why did you suddenly break into my house?"

 

When the woman saw Kisame, coming in wearing a mask, she was so frightened that she threw away the clothes she was washing, and took two steps back in horror.

 

"Sister-in-law, don't be afraid. I'm a friend of your husband. I was invited by him to stay at your house for one night and I will leave early tomorrow."

 

Kisame approached the woman with a familiar tone.

 

Looking at the woman up close, he realized that although the other party was beautiful, her brows were full of fatigue, her face was covered in sweat, and she looked extremely haggard.

 

It looks like she worked too hard to do housework alone with a child.

 

"Tsk tsk." Thinking of this, Kisame shook his head.

 

"Why are you shaking your head...what are you doing, why are you staring at me?" The woman felt uncomfortable being watched by Kisame, so she asked through gritted teeth.

 

"That guy is going too far, to let a woman who just gave birth to a child do so much housework, I feel sad for you."

 

Kisame said.

 

The woman was startled when she heard the words, and then murmured: "I am the woman in the family, these things are what I should do..."

 

Before she finished speaking, Kisame suddenly rolled up his sleeves, picked up the clothes in the basin and wringed them dry, and said, "Sister-in-law, I'll help you."

 

The warm hearted Kisame is online again.

 

When the woman saw this scene, she was stunned for a moment, and she felt an inexplicable emotion in her heart. However, when she came back to her senses and found that Kisame had picked up a piece of clothing again, she hurried up.

 

That's her underwear.

 

"No." The woman blushed slightly, trying to grab the clothes from him.

 

"It's okay, sister-in-law, go and take a rest and wipe your sweat." Kisame didn't care, and continued to wring the clothes and hang them to dry.

 

Then, he probably thought that washing clothes like this was too slow, so he simply made a seal.

 

Under the surprised eyes of the woman, he made a big water pool, wrapped all the clothes in it, and rolled and stirred it. After that, Kisame used his chakra to create heat and quickly dried the moisture in the clothes.

 

This magical technique not only made the woman look dumbfounded, but the little baby on her back also open eyes wide, danced, and made a sound of "ah woo ah woo" from the small mouth.

 

"...Thank you." The woman whispered to Kisame.

 

"It's just a little effort, sister-in-law doesn't need to be polite."

 

While talking, Kisame stretched out a finger, teased the baby on the woman's back, and asked curiously, "This child is so cute, is it a girl? What's her name?"

 

"Her name is... Fuu, she's my daughter."

 

When the woman saw the child giggled at Kisame, she was also infected by this atmosphere and showed a smile.

 

The tall, eccentric masked man in front of her, while intimidating, was actually surprisingly approachable and considerate.

 

Thinking of this, the woman's tense nerves finally relaxed, and her attitude towards Kisame became gentle.

 

'Fuu?'

 

Hearing this name, Kisame recalled the plot in his mind, and glanced at the baby's short blue-green hair and orange eyes, basically determined—

 

This baby is indeed Fuu, the seven tails Jinchuriki in the anime. She is a very cute, cheerful and lively girl who is eager to make friends.

 

At the same time, being able to control the power of seven tails indicates that this child has a high talent for ninjutsu.

 

"Giggle."

 

Fuu has shown a lively nature since she was a child, and she is not afraid of others at all. She held Kisame's finger with her small hands and looks at him curiously with wide eyes.

 

At this time.

 

'Da da da.'

 

A burst of footsteps resounding from outside the fence, as the head walked into the yard and returned home.

 

As soon as he came back, he saw Kisame standing very close to his wife and teasing his daughter there, and looking at three, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

 

 

It stands to reason that in this situation, any man who is not extremely angry will at least be very angry.

 

 

But he seemed a little absent-minded, because his mind was on the earth grudge that he just got.

 

When the wife saw her husband coming back, her face changed, and she quickly distanced herself from Kisame. Afraid of him misunderstanding, she immediately explained: "This person said he was your friend..."

 

 

She was just halfway through when she was interrupted by him.

 

"You came to live in my house because you are worried?"

 

He walked to Kisame and asked with a frown. In his view, the other party was obviously worried that he would not keep his word, so he followed him to the house to monitor him.

 

"I didn't mean that. However, this is an important transaction, it's better to be cautious. What do you say, leader?"

 

Kisame responded with a smile.

 

"Humph."

 

The head snorted coldly and said to Kisame, "As for the authenticity of the earth grudge, I have to check it carefully. After confirming that the content is correct, I will naturally bring you the Hero water."

 

Then, he instructed his wife, "Take him to the guest room to stay, and satisfy any request that he has."

 

 

After he finished speaking, he strode into the study and went to study eagerly.

 

After the head hurriedly entered the study, only Kisame and the woman were left in the hall.

 

"Sister-in-law, may I ask where is the guest room? I'll just go there myself, I don't want to bother you to lead the way."

 

Kisame noticed that the woman was tired, so he took the initiative to speak.

 

"Don't call me sister-in-law, it feels weird. My name is Mikiko."

 

Mikiko glanced at Kisame and said, then walked towards a room next to her, "Come with me, the guest room has not been occupied for a long time, I need to clean it up."

 

The two entered a room one after the other.

 

Although the head told Mikiko to meet all of Kisame's requirements, Kisame said that he was not picky and only wanted a bed to sleep on.

 

Even so, Mikiko insisted on cleaning the room, preparing the bed for Kisame, and the hot water for bathing.

 

'What a virtuous woman.'

 

While she was busy, Kisame offered to help take care of Fuu. After all, carrying a little girl while doing housework was not only tiring, but also inconvenient.

 

Mikiko agreed.

 

So, Kisame took Fuu and played with the little girl.

 

After Kisame finished taking a shower, he came out of the bathroom and saw Mikiko bring a plate of fruit and snacks and put it on the table.

 

 

She asked Kisame if he had any other requirements, and after confirming that he was satisfied with everything, she breathed a sigh of relief, walked out with the child on her back, and closed the door of the guest room.

 

As soon as Mikiko left, Kisame laid on the bed, put his hands behind his head, and closed his eyes.

 

Under his perception, he found that a large number of Taki ninjas were lurking around the courtyard at this moment, forming an airtight encirclement.

 

It was obviously arranged by the head.

 

But still, Kisame is not in a hurry to act at all.

 

The trading conditions he gave were valid until tomorrow morning. Before that, Kisame would not make excessive moves.

 

Maybe it's because Kisame had been too training for the past few months, and all kinds of things have been going on in a row, he felt a little tired.

 

Unconsciously, there was a slight snoring sound in the room, Kisame fell asleep.

 

The sun sets, and night falls.

 

Inside the study.

 

"Whoo~"

 

The head closed the scroll in his hand, leaned back on the chair, and let out a long breath. At this moment, the excitement and joy in his heart appeared on his face, and it was difficult for him to calm down.

 

After hours of research and repeated inspections, he was 100% sure that this scroll is the Earth grudge that way taken away from the village by Kakuzu.

 

This secret technique, captures the hearts of other ninjas into the body together with the opponent's chakra nature, so that the practitioner can perform advanced ninjutsu with five basic nature, and by constantly changing the heart, it is even possible to achieve immortality.

 

After being taken away for decades, today, it finally returned to Takigakure.

 

His heart kept surging.

 

He is the current Seven tails Jinchuriki, and with the help of it's power, even among all the Jinchuriki, he is confident that he can reach the top three in strength.

 

If he learns the earth grudge and masters the advanced ninjutsu of the five basic natures, and combines it with his own tail beast Chakra, his strength will inevitably skyrocket, and he will become the top powerhouse in the ninja world.

 

No, not just these, if he added Hero Water on top of this, his strength will be too great.

 

This legendary hero water will only condense once in a hundred years, and once drank, it can increase the chakra in the human body tenfold.

 

As an ambitious person, the head couldn't help but think about how invincible he would be if he drank the hero water after he successfully trained Earth grudge.

 

At that time, he will lead the Takigakure to achieve a greatness again and make the entire Ninja World surrender to his feet.

 

Thinking of this, he excitedly stood up from the chair.

 

The hero water is the treasure of Takigakure. It took a long time of hundred years, and it has just been condensed. How could it be handed over to an outsider.

 

Yes, he is going to tear up the terms of the deal with Kisame, the exchange of Hero Water for Kakuzu's corpse and the earth grudge.

 

Not only that, but in order to prevent the opponent from resisting, he also intends to strike first and kill the opponent tonight.

 

A plan soon formed in his mind.

 

He quitely walked out of the study, walked through the corridor, and pushed open the bedroom door with a thud, awakening Mikiko from her deep sleep.

 

"What's wrong?"

 

Seeing her husband's gloomy expression, Mikiko was frightened and nervous, and hurriedly got off the bed and put on her pajamas.

 

"That bounty hunter seems to like you very much. He shouldn't have any defenses against you, right?"

 

He stared at his wife, said something inexplicably, and showed a smile.

 

Mikiko's expression froze when she heard the words, and she asked in a trembling voice, "What are you going to... let me do?"

 

From his words, she had realized that her husband was going to force her to do something bad. She was accustomed to submissiveness, she couldn't say the word "rejection", and she didn't dare to refuse.

 

Ten minutes later.

 

Outside the door of the guest room.

 

'Tak tak.'

 

There was a knock on the door. At the same time, it was accompanied by Mikiko's cautious voice: "Sir, are you asleep?"

 

After a while, no one responded, only a slight snoring came from the room.

 

Mikiko looked back, her husband was watching her from behind with cold eyes. She gritted her teeth, opened the door gently, and walked in.

 

After entering the room, Mikiko carefully closed the door again, so as not to let the light from outside enter the room, so as not to wake up the target.

 

In the room, under the dim light, Kisame was lying on the bed, sleeping soundly, as if he was having a sweet dream.

 

Mikiko's heartbeat accelerated, as she walked over step by step, getting closer and closer to Kisame..

 

Five meters, three meters, two meters.

 

Finally, she came to the bed, stared at Kisame, slowly raised a hand, that held a sharp knife, glowing with a cold light.

 

The task her husband gave her was to get close to Kisame and kill the latter while he was unprepared.

 

However, at the moment of the great opportunity, the knife in Mikiko's hand was slow to fall.

 

Because she knew that this was killing a person who has done nothing bad to her.

 

Just as Mikiko's heart was caught in the battle between right and wrong, Kisame suddenly turned over, and then slowly opened his eyes.

 

After the nap Kisame felt refreshed as it swept away the exhaustion that had been in him for the past few months.

 

In fact, he woke up long ago, and deliberately did not open his eyes.

 

Just now, if the knife in Mikiko's hand fell and plunged into his chest, she would already be a corpse at this time.

 

Fortunately, she is kind enough.

 

Kisame can understand the difficulties of this woman, so he took the initiative to wake up.

 

"You, when did you wake up?"

 

When Mikiko saw Kisame open his eyes, her face turned pale immediately, she took two steps back in fright, and quickly hid the knife in her hand in her sleeve.

 

"Sister-in-law, what are you doing in my room in the middle of the night?"

 

Kisame sat up, looked at Mikiko, and asked deliberately.

 

"I, I was thinking... You haven't had dinner yet, so I came to ask if you are hungry." Mikiko made up a reason in a panic, her voice trembling.

 

"Oh, Sister-in-law is so kind to me."

 

Kisame looked like he didn't feel anything suspicious, but he soon noticed Mikiko's uneasiness, so he stood up and walked towards her, and asked suspiciously, "Sister-in-law, why is your body shaking, why are you dressed too lightly in the middle of the night, be careful not to catch a cold."

 

As he spoke, he took off the cloak hanging from the hanger and put it over Mikiko's shoulders.

 

"Thank you, thank you."

 

Mikiko murmured, she didn't expect Kisame to care about her so much. Her heart was both moved and guilty, and her feelings were mixed for a while.

 

"What?"

 

Suddenly, Kisame grabbed Mikiko's arm and asked curiously, "Sister-in-law, what are you holding in your hand?"

 

Mikiko was startled, and the knife slipped from her sleeve, exposing itself to Kisame.

 

'Its over.

 

She turned pale and hesitated, not knowing how to explain.

 

What she never expected was.

 

"Sister-in-law, you're so kind. You brought a fruit knife on purpose. Are you going to help me cut the fruit?"

 

Kisame took the knife from Mikiko's hand and smiled, "I'll do this kind of trivial matter myself. Sister-in-law, you've been tired all day and are about to catch cold, take a good rest."

 

After speaking, he walked to the table, picked up an apple from the fruit bowl, and cut it with a knife.

 

"You…"

 

Mikiko stayed where she was. In the situation just now, it was impossible for Kisame to not see her as an assassin, unless he deliberately pretended not to know, and even helped her out of the way.

 

But why.

 

Mikiko stared blankly at the man in front of her. Although she had not been in contact with him for less than half a day, and didn't even know his appearance and name, she felt inexplicably that this man was considerate, gentle and caring. A man to depend on.

 

'He is a good man.'

 

Such a man must have a gentle and virtuous wife in his family, waiting for him to go back.

 

Thinking of this, Mikiko took a deep breath and made a decision in her heart.

 

She walked quickly to Kisame, grabbed his arm, and took him to the back door.

 

"Sister-in-law, what's wrong?"

 

Kisame continued to play stupid, biting the apple while asking vaguely.

 

"Don't eat it."

 

Mikiko suddenly said in a low voice, snatched the apple from Kisame's mouth, and said to him with a serious face, "Listen to me, my husband has already planned to break the contract, and you definitely won't be able to get what you want. Not only that, but he also sent me to take your life..."

 

As she spoke, she observed the changes in his eyes through the mask on his face. But to Mikiko's surprise, the other party was surprisingly calm after hearing her words.

 

As if he already knew it.

 

"So what?" Kisame asked in a normal tone.

 

 

"Go through the back door, escape from Takigakure as quickly as possible, and never come back. I will try to stall my husband as much as possible to buy time for you."

 

Mikiko expressed her thoughts.

 

"But if your husband knew that you let me go on purpose, what would he do to you?" Kisame asked again.

 

"At this time, don't pretend to care about me. I'm his wife, and I'm sure I won't lose my life at most I will be beaten."

 

Mikiko said anxiously.

 

"I won't leave." Kisame became stubborn and determined not to escape.

 

"Why, are you willing to die?" Mikiko felt that everything was incomprehensible.

 

"No, I just don't like scumbags who use their wife as a tool. Mikiko, you shouldn't mind if I kill your husband, right?"

 

Kisame looked at Mikiko with bright eyes and asked.

 

'Is this fool actually planning to kill her husband for her?'

 

Mikiko's mind went blank under Kisame's gaze. When she came back to her senses, she hurriedly said to him:

 

"Don't be arrogant, you are not his opponent! My husband is the seven tails Jinchuriki, and besides him, you have to face the siege of hundreds of ninjas from Takigakure..."

 

"So your answer is, that you don't mind."

 

Kisame interrupted Mikiko, and then turned around and strode towards the door under her blank gaze.

 

'Boom.'

 

Kisame kicked the door open, and saw the head standing in the hall at a glance, looking gloomy.

 

The two looked at each other.

 

"Mikiko really missed, it seems that she shouldn't have been counted on in the first place."

 

He shook his head, disappointed with his wife. As for whether Mikiko in the room is dead or alive at this time, it is not his main concern.

 

What he cares most about is that the man in front of him must die.

 

So, he snapped his fingers crisply, and figures jumped over the wall and appeared in the yard, encircling Kisame again like they did in the day.

 

"Are you sure you want to do this?"

 

Kisame asked with a half-smile, not seeming to care about the fact that he was in a desperate situation.

 

"You are too greedy, you tried to get the Hero water. A guy like you, who is too greedy but has no self-knowledge, will die sooner or later. Why don't I send you out sooner?"

 

The head solemnly found a reason, not wanting to talk too much nonsense with a dead person, and gave an order as soon as he finished speaking.

 

'Whoosh whoosh.'

 

In an instant, the Taki ninjas rushed towards Kisame.

 

Facing the swarming enemies, Kisame sighed helplessly and said leisurely: "The people who have no self-knowledge are you."

 

Then he moved a step ahead.

 

'Booooio.'

 

As Kisame's shoes landed, a circular chakra wave, centered under his feet, instantly spread to the entire yard.

 

Next second.

 

'Rumble.'

 

Under the horrified eyes of Taki ninjas, a large number of trees emerged from the ground and spiraled upwards, piercing the bodies of everyone before they could react.

 

'Puff puff.'

 

Dozens of ninjas from Taki Ninjas were instantly swallowed up by the wood forest summoned by Kisame. Their chests were pierced by trees one by one, and their bodies were suspended in the air with their feet off the ground.

 

The only one who survived the disaster was the head.

 

He sensed something was wrong in time, and at the critical moment, a pair of green wings grew out of his back and rose into the sky.

 

The pair of wings was transformed by him after borrowing the chakra of the seven tails.

 

'What kind of ninjutsu is this?'

 

After rising to the air, he broke out in a cold sweat looking at the strange forest on the ground.

 

'Did the other party use this method to kill Kakuzu?'

 

Kisame raised his head, looked at Ye Feng in the air, and declared his death: "It's your turn next."

 

"You won't get to do that."

 

The head shook his head, took out two things from his arms, and held them in both hands.

 

In one hand is the Earth grudge scroll he got from Kisame. In the other hand, there is a gourd filled with the Hero water, which swayed gently.

 

"This is the hero water you want, but it's more important to me."

 

He proudly shook the gourd in his hand to Kisame, and said with bright eyes, "After I drink it, I will get a huge chakra, which will balance with the seven-tails in my body and become a perfect Jinchuriki.And after that, I will use the power of Earth grudge to target the Five Kages and collect their hearts!"

 

This is his ambition.

 

"Oh? So, your target is Amekage Nagato, Hokage Jiraiya, and Mizukage Hoshigaki Kisame and others?"

 

Kisame pretended to be surprised and played along with him.

 

"Of course! When these so-called demigods and sages have their hearts taken away by me, and even their powers are absorbed by me, I will become the strongest in the whole ninja world. At that time, Takigakure will also achieve greatness and will be above the five great Ninja villages!"

 

He raised his hands high with a look of frenzy on his face.

 

"What a great dream, admirable!"

 

Hearing this, Kisame couldn't help but applaud, cheering for him, while reminding kindly, "Also, I want to congratulate you, I am one of your targets, you can come and take my heart now ."

 

'What's does he mean?'

 

Kisame's words stunned him for a moment. After he came back to his senses, his expression changed dramatically. He stared at Kisame's mask and asked sharply, "Who are you?!"

 

Without waiting for Kisame to answer, he suddenly turned around, flapped his wings violently, and fled without looking back.

 

Because he knew that no matter whether the opponent was Nagato, Jiraiya, or Hoshigaki Kisame, he could not compete at this time.

 

Therefore, he resolutely chose to escape, intending to find a safe place to drink the hero water, and then come back after becoming a perfect Jinchuriki.

 

The pair of dragonfly-like green wings behind him fanned faster and faster, allowing him to quickly pass through the lush branches and leaves of the big tree and fly to a height of more than 100 meters.

 

However, before he could breathe a sigh of relief, a figure had already caught up with him.

 

Kisame also released his pair of black wings and flew faster than him, and appeared behind the latter in the blink of an eye.

 

"?!"

 

The head was taken aback and looked terrified.

 

The ability to fly is his greatest advantage. After all, there are not many ninjas in the entire ninja world who can fly to the sky. Moreover, with the help of the seven tails power, he can fly fast and high that even real birds can't catch up with him.

 

Therefore, he thought that as long as he flew to the sky, he was an invincible existence.

 

But his luck was really bad, because he encountered Kisame who could fly, causing his biggest ace card to disappear.

 

He was really panicked at this moment.

 

"Aren't you going to take me out? Why did you run away first?"

 

Kisame's teasing voice sounded behind him, looking like a hunter playing with his prey.

 

The head's eyes turned cold, and he suddenly turned his head, opened his mouth and sprayed a large piece of scale powder at Kisame.

 

Scale Powder technique!

 

These scale powder comes from the seven tails. They permeate the air, not only can block the enemy's sight, but also contain paralyzing toxins, making the enemy unable to move.

 

"Whaa?"

 

Kisame let out a light hum, as if it was unprepared, and was instantly enveloped in scale powder and coughed inside.

 

For the head, this was a great opportunity to reverse the situation, but cautiously, he had no plans to fight back, but continued to flee while Kisame was poisoned.

 

'Whoosh.'

 

Soon, he escaped from Takigakure and ran into the depths of the forest.

 

Ten minutes later.

 

In a dense forest, he hid in a bush. He held his breath, trying to hide his breath, his eyes staring at the dark night sky.

 

Suddenly, a figure flew from a distance and hovered over the woods for a while. Fortunately, the other party did not find him in the end and continued to fly away.

 

'I finally got rid of this difficult guy.'

 

He breathed a sigh of relief, and his nerves were no longer tense. The reason why he fled without fighting, and even abandoned his wife, was because he had already guessed the identity of this mysterious masked man from the ninjutsu performed by the other party.

 

Hoshigaki Kisame.

 

It was a man who single-handedly reversed the situation of the Third Ninja War and beat Konoha from invincible to kneeling position, begging for mercy.

 

He is the new Demi-God of the ninja world, recognized as the pinnacle of ninjas.

 

He is not yet ready to face such an enemy. In fact, Hoshigaki Kisame was the last on his hunting list.

 

Until then, he needs to be patient. He will one day avenge himself.

 

"What are you thinking about here?"

 

Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded from behind him again, causing he to stand up with chills all over his body in an instant, and a gust of cold air shot from his tailbone to the head.

 

In the next second, a wooden vine rose from him's feet, entangling him.

 

"Roar!"

 

At this moment, an inhuman roar came from his throat. A terrifying chakra fluctuation erupted from his body.

 

'Snap!'

 

The wooden Vine around him was instantly shattered. Not only that, the power gushing out of him also shocked Kisame back a good distance.

 

At this moment, he entered the half-tailed beast form. He became a half-human, half-beast existence, with dark red chakra wrapped in his body, and seven tails growing behind him.

 

But Hisen knew that with this, he was still no match for Kisame, so he wanted to run away subconsciously right from the start.

 

However, when he saw that Kisame was holding a gourd in his hand, swaying towards him, and pretending to drink the hero water inside, he finally couldn't bear it any longer.

 

It turned out that Kisame took away the Hero water when he tied him with the wooden vines just now.

 

"Roar!"

 

He roared again, and rushed towards Kisame like a madman. The seven tails behind him shot out like lightning and attacked the latter one after another.

 

Insect bites!

 

Facing the head who was provoked, the corner of Kisame's mouth curled up.

 

Although he got what he came for, the Hero water, it would be better if he could also get the chakra of seven tails.

 

Therefore, he stretched out a hand and Kusanagi Sword suddenly shot out from the palm, and instantly extended forward more than ten meters, collided with the seven tails Jinchuriki, who was rushing forward.

 

The seven tails Jinchuriki couldn't get close to Kisame at all, and was pushed out by the Kusanagi sword, and even with the seven-tailed chakra body protection, the tingling sensation from the sword tip was still unbearable to him.

 

'Bang bang bang!'

 

He flew out at a faster speed, breaking more than a dozen trees along the way, and finally knocked a big hole out of the mountain wall with a bang, sinking deep into it.

 

'What kind of monster is this guy?'

 

He struggled to climb out of the hole, watching Kisame come step by step, feeling terrified in his heart. He never imagined that even if he entered the state of half-tailed beast mode, he still would not be Kisame's enemy.

 

'Is this the strength of the number one person in the ninja world?'

 

 

'It seems that the only way to survive is to use it and fight to the death.'

 

 

Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated and closed his eyes. The next second, when he opened his eyes again, the eyes were not that of a man, but that of a monster.

 

As a chakra wave shot straight into the sky, a monster with a height of tens of meters appeared on the ground under the night sky. It was a huge beetle with a gray-black upper body and a turquoise lower body, with six wings and a tail.

 

 

At this moment, he took a huge risk and released the monster that had been sleeping in his body for a long time, so that this flying giant insect, next only to Nine-Tails and Eight-Tails, reappear in the world.

 

However, the seven tails, who had just regained her freedom, did not even have the time to show off her might, when several huge red torii gates descended from the sky and pressed down on it.

 

'Boom! boom! boom!'

 

Several torii gates pressed on its head, body and tail in turn, pinning it to the ground, and no matter how hard it struggled, it couldn't move.

 

Senpo Mokuton seal.

 

This is one of the powerful Mokuton seals of the first Hokage, which is specially used to restrain huge tailed beasts and seal their chakra.

 

At this time, the mask on Kisame's face had fallen off at some point, and a black sage mask appeared on his face.

 

'Whoosh.'

 

Kisame jumped and rose to the air, taking advantage of the seven tails being suppressed by the seal, he slapped its forehead with his palm.

 

Kuo'an!

 

As the word "seat" appeared in the palm of Kisame's hand, transmitting a sealing force to seven tail's body, the irascible beetle soon quieted down and fell into a deep sleep.

 

The next was something easier to handle. Kisame skillfully opened the Box of Ultimate bliss and put the unconscious seven tails into his body.

 

So far, in this trip to Takigakure has not only had he successfully obtained the Hero water, but also unexpectedly harvested seven tails, which can be said to be a bumper harvest.

 

He can now set off for the next target.

 

 

But Kisame thought for a while, and still looked in the direction of Takigakure.

 

After a few minutes.

 

Kisame returned to Taki Ninja Village again.

 

In the village, the lights were bright and the voices were loud. All the villagers ran out and gathered in the open space outside the house where the fight started.

 

Kisame saw at a glance Mikiko, who held her child tightly in her arms and fall helplessly to the ground. Hundreds of angry villagers surrounded her, pointing and cursing at her.

 

 

In the eyes of these villagers, the bounty hunter who came to the village during the day killed almost all Taki Shinobi, and even the head was hunted down, and his life and death were unknown. But it was too suspicious that Mikoko was safe and sound.

 

It happened that another villager saw that Mikiko and the bounty hunter had a close relationship, and they were doing laundry together in the yard during the day.

 

So everyone suspected that this woman colluded with the enemy and betrayed the village.

 

Despite Mikiko's various explanations, not many people believed her words. If it wasn't for her being the village chief's wife, the villagers would have tortured her long ago.

 

"Get up, stop pretending to be innocent and pitiful!"

 

A villager stepped forward, grabbed Mikiko by the hair, and forcibly pulled her from the ground.

 

There were tears in the corners of Mikiko's eyes, and she endured the pain without saying a word, just trying her best to protect her child, as Fuu was frightened and burst into tears.

 

Seeing that the pair of orphan and widow were about to be brutalized by the irrational villagers, with a bang, a long sword fell from the sky and instantly cut off the arm that was holding Mikiko's hair.

 

"Whaaa!"

 

The villager suddenly let out a scream and fell into a pool of blood.

 

Under the frightened eyes of the rest of the villagers, Kisame descended from the sky like a devil, and the moment his pair of black wings moved, a strong wind blew the villagers up and down.

 

"Get out of here!"

 

He let out a low shout, like a tiger roaring, instantly frightening everyone.

 

They screamed and scattered, fleeing in all directions.

 

After a while, in the entire Takigakure, only the mother and daughter infront of Kisame were out on the street.

 

"Your husband is dead."

 

Kisame stared at the woman and spoke slowly.

 

Mikoko was shocked, but not too sad, she instead felt a sense of relief. Obviously, this woman had an unhappy marriage, and for her, it seemed like hell.

 

Seeing the woman's expression, Kisame suddenly thought of something in his heart, so he continued to say to her:

 

"I'll give you two choices. First, you name a place yourself, and I'll take you mother and daughter there, and leave some money for you to start a new life. Second, follow me, come back to my village, where a new life begins."

 

"I choose the second one."

 

To Kisame's surprise, Mikiko answered without hesitation without any hesitation. She stared Kisame with very firm eyes.

 

"You don't even know who I am or where my village is. Why do you trust me like that?" Kisame asked curiously.

 

"I don't care, and I don't need to know." Mikiko still staring at him.

 

"Ok."

 

Kisame didn't say much, but turned around and looked at the towering tree more than 100 meters high on the island in the heart of the lake.

 

"As part of the divine tree, it would be a bit of a waste to stay here like this."

 

Kisame muttered to himself.

 

Anyway, the Hero water and the seven tails are taken by him, so let's do a little bit more and move this big tree too.

 

After all, it is the people of Taki Shinobi who are not trustworthy.

 

Kisame has peace of mind.

 

So he asked Mikiko to take the child back a little, and then walked to the lake step by step.

 

So here comes the question.

 

How to move a big tree that is more than 100 meters tall and weighs several thousand tons, and where to place it?

 

Kisame has the Box of Ultimate bliss, but there is no way to put this huge tree in it.

 

It seems that only the main body can be used.

 

Thinking of this, he turned around and instructed Mikiko: "There will be a big creature appearing later, no matter what you see, don't be afraid."

 

"Yes." Mikiko nodded.

 

Then, Kisame took a deep breath, raised his hands, and slowly formed the hand seals of the summoning jutsu.

 

"Haa!"

 

With a clear shout, he pressed his palm to the ground, and almost all of the chakra in this body was instantly poured into the Summoning jutsu.

 

After a few seconds.

 

In the dark night sky, a space crack with a diameter of several hundred meters appeared, and a huge creature with a body length of 400 meters appeared.

 

Kunpeng has come.

 

....

 

Under the vast darkness of the night, above Takigakure, a giant beast with a body length of 400 meters floated quietly.

 

It has a whale-like body, a long dragon tail, and a pair of eagle-like wings. Every time the pair of wings flapped, there was a strong wind, blowing the leaves of the big trees below.

 

'Thump.'

 

On the ground, Kisame's clone knelt on one knee, panting violently, and looked very weak. After all, the amount of chakra required to summon a creature with a body length of several hundred meters from the remote Shikkotsu Forest to Takigakure is simply unimaginable.

 

His clone, which has one-third of the body's chakra, was almost hollowed out.

 

After Mikiko recovered from her daze, she saw Kisame kneeling on the ground, and hurriedly walked up to him and asked with concern:

 

"Are you OK?"

 

As she spoke, she pressed against his body and helped him stand up.

 

Under their gaze, Kunpeng in the air lowered it's head and slowly opened its abyss-like mouth.

 

'Buzz.'

 

A terrifying suction force emanated from its mouth, covering the 100-meter-high towering tree on the island in the center of the lake.

 

'Rumble.'

 

In an instant, the ground of the entire Takigakure shook violently, as if a tenth magnitude earthquake had occurred. The lake also set off a wave of waves, forming a tidal wave that rushed towards the shore.

 

"What!"

 

Mikiko let out an exclamation and tried her best to hug the child in her arms tightly.

 

At this moment, Kisame stretched out an arm and wrapped it around her waist. Then, a pair of black wings grew out of his back, and took Mikiko and her daughter to the sky.

 

After reaching the middle of the sky, Mikiko was shocked again.

 

In her horrified eyes, Takigakure's thousand-year-old tree was uprooted together with countless mud, water, and gravel, and it slowly rose into the air.

 

What a magnificent sight this is.

 

In the end, the big tree was swallowed by Kunpeng under the pull of suction, and disappeared.

 

The next itinerary is left to the clone body to complete.

 

Kisame glanced at the mid-air Kunpeng, considering that this clone body would not last long, he transferred the star meteorite, the hero water and the seven-tails he had obtained before inside Kunpeng's stomach.

 

Then, Kisame took Mikiko and her daughter and flew eastward along the route he came.

 

And his main body, Kunpeng, flapped its wings and swept up into the sky with gust of wind.

 

'Swish!'

 

Kunpeng soared up, broke through the thick clouds, and finally came to the stratosphere dozens of kilometers above the ground. At this height, mortals on the ground could not perceive its presence, avoiding them the feeling of terror.

 

A full moon hangs high in the sky, and the bright moonlight scatters, shining on the rolling sea of clouds, looking magnificent and beautiful.

 

Above the sea of clouds, Kunpeng flies freely.

 

It flapped its wings again, and the strong wind that set off separated the sea of clouds, and its huge body roamed the sky and flew toward the southwest.

 

After one day.

 

The Land of Water, Kirigakure.

 

Kisame descended from the sky with Mikiko and her daughter, and returned home.

 

In the yard, two little guys over a year old were playing and fighting, making babbling noises. It was Kimimaro who was chasing Haku, and turned around the yard for several times. Finally, the two little guys collided and fell to the ground together.

 

"Woooooo..." Haku sat on the ground, crying, looking pitiful.

 

Kimimaro was laughing beside him, looking silly. Even though he was still young, the Kekkei Genkai of the Kaguya clan had already made his body very strong, and it was nothing for him even if he fell one or two times.

 

"These two guys are really worrying me."

 

Not far away, Yukino who was knitting a sweater saw this scene and sighed, looking rather helpless.

 

"Giggle, the thought of having such a little guy in my stomach is really giving me a headache." Beside Yukino, Natsuhi touched her lower abdomen, and said with some worry and anticipation.

 

The two women smiled at each other.

 

In the past two days, Natsuhi and Yukino, who lived under the same roof, got to know each other.

 

The fate of the two is very similar. After the death of their husband, they came to Kirigakure with Kisame's help. Moreover, due to the common topic of having children, the two chatted very speculatively and got along very well, and they have become very good friends.

 

Seeing that Haku was crying non-stop, Yukino had to put down the sweater she was knitting, stood up, and walked towards her son.

 

But at this moment, Haku suddenly stopped crying, and his big eyes stared into the air without blinking.

 

'Huh?'

 

Yukino followed Haku's line of sight and was surprised to find that Kisame had returned.

 

However, in addition to surprise, there are also shock.

 

Because this time, Kisame came back with a green-haired woman who was holding a baby in her arms.

 

This familiar scene made Yukino and Natsuhi feel a little weird.

 

Kisame landed on the ground, let go of the hand that was holding Mikiko, then bent down, stretched out two arms, and hugged Haku and Kimimaro from left to right.

 

"Are they your children? This is... Kirigakure?"

 

Mikiko asked in a low voice, and at the same time glanced at Haku and Kimimaro curiously. What is their relationship with this man?

 

Kisame hearing that, shook his head with a smile, and said to Mikiko:

 

 

"These questions, let Yukino answer you, and you can get to know each other that way."

 

After he finished speaking, he motioned for Yukino to come over, hand over the two children to her, and briefly explained in a few words.

 

As soon as he finished speaking, Kisame's clone turned into white smoke with a "poof", and it was automatically released because the chakra in it was exhausted.

 

"Go and play."

 

Yukino handed a lollipop to Kimimaro and Haku, sent the two entangled little guys away, and then warmly received Mikiko.

 

Natsuhi also came over, greeted Mikiko, and joined the chat.

 

"That's my experience."

 

Under the curious gazes of the two women, Mikiko nervously recounted her experience, and said that if she her living here disturbs the two of them, she would quickly move out with her child and find another place to live.

 

"Pfft."

 

Unexpectedly, when Yukino and Natsuhi heard her, they couldn't help laughing after looking at each other.

 

"What are you... laughing at, did I say something wrong?" Mikiko suddenly became more embarrassed.

 

"Don't be nervous, Mikiko. I just suddenly found out that Kisame-sama is really the savior of us widowers."

 

Yukino put her hand on Mikiko's shoulder and sighed with a smile.

 

"Yeah, this is too much of a coincidence."

 

Natsuhi explained with a smile, "Yukino, and I, are actually the same as you. After the death of my husband, I got help from Kisame and came to Kirigakure."

 

From their mouths, Mikiko was surprised to learn that their experiences were surprisingly similar to her own.

 

"Wait. You said just now that his name is... Kisame?"

 

Mikiko suddenly realized this, and since this was Kirigakure, Kisame's identity can only be one thing.

 

Hoshigaki Kisame!

 

After learning the man's true identity, Mikiko couldn't calm down for a while, and it took a long time for her to recover.

 

At this moment, a figure pushed open the gate of the small courtyard and rushed in in a hurry.

 

"Where's Kisame, someone saw him coming back. I have something that he needs to look, let him come out!"

 

Tsunade said in a loud voice and looked around as soon as she entered the yard, but she didn't even see Kisame's shadow, only Mikiko who was an unfamiliar face.

 

Tsunade couldn't help frowning, her eyes swept away from Fuu in Mikiko's arms, and then glanced at the Natsuhi and Yukino next to her, each more beautiful than the other, but they were all widows with children.

 

'What the -&£6- is this guy, Hoshigaki Kisame doing?

 

So this is his habit? Really perverted.'

 

Mikiko was taken aback by Tsunade and didn't dare to look directly at the other person's sharp eyes. So, she lowered her head and whispered to Yukino beside her:

 

"Is this sister also a widow who was brought back by Kisame-sama? She doesn't seem very easy to get along with, what should I call her?"

 

"Uh..." Yukino was stunned when she heard this, not knowing how to answer.

 

Because as far as she knew, Tsunade did have a lover named Dan Kato, who died on the battlefield at an early age. Moreover, Tsunade was indeed brought back to Kisame by Kisame.

 

However, in a strict sense, Tsunade had just started a romantic relationship with Kato, and was far from getting married, so she should not be considered a widow.

 

Although Mikiko's voice was small, Tsunade could still hear it.

 

"What did you say? I'm... a widow?"

 

She suddenly became furious and strode towards Mikiko.

 

Seeing this, Yukino quickly stood in front of Mikiko and pleaded with Tsunade: "Tsunade-sama, this is a misunderstanding, Mikiko didn't say that on purpose..."

 

Mikiko also realized that she had said something wrong, and hurriedly bowed to Tsunade to apologize.

 

"Humph."

 

Tsunade snorted lightly, there was nothing she could do. There was no way she could really embarrass a poor widow with a child.

 

When she learned that Kisame came back was just a clone, and that it had disappeared, she no longer entangled with them, she turned around and walked out of the yard in a hurry.

 

As the head of the medical department, she has a lot of work to do.

 

"Huuu."

 

After Tsunade left, the three women in the courtyard all breathed a sigh of relief.

 

"Tsunade-sama is really an amazing ninja. Her aura is too strong. I don't know what kind of man is worthy of her."

 

Mikiko sighed as she watched Tsunade leave.

 

"Perhaps, in the entire ninja world, only Kisame-sama can calm down and laugh in front of Tsunade." Natsuhi guessed on the side.

 

When Yukino heard her, she covered her mouth and smiled, then she took Mikiko's hand and said to her:

 

"There is still a vacant room upstairs. I will take you to see it. You can live here in peace in the future. We are like sisters, so please don't treat us like outsiders."

 

"Thank you, Yukino." Mikiko's heart warmed, and there were faint tears in her eyes.

 

"However, if Kisame-sama brings back another widow, we probably won't have enough rooms here."

 

Yukino said jokingly, which caused both Natsuhi and Mikiko to smile.

 

At the same time.

 

Thousands of kilometers away, deep in the desert of the Land of Wind.

 

The Land of Wind is the country with the largest land area among the five major countries, but the desert occupy more than 90% of the land. Compared with the Land of Fire, the natural resources are less than one-tenth of the latter.

 

In the vast desert, only a few oasis areas are suitable for human habitation, among which is Sunagakure, one of the top five Ninja villages.

 

Half a year ago, Sunagakure was destroyed by Nagato alone, it was completely wiped off from the ninja world, and has since become history.

 

Only a very small number of Suna ninja survived the catastrophe and survived in some corner of the world.

 

The ancient country of Ronan that Kisame is looking for is located deep in the desert west of the Land of Wind. It is a small country with a small population and basically has no sense of existence in the world.

 

However, according to the information he got and the memory of the anime, the ancient country of Ronan was destroyed by war a few years ago, and now it is in ruins.

 

Under the ruins, the Ryumyaku is buried, which is Kisame's goal for this trip.

 

The history of the ancient city was:

 

In the underground of the ancient country of Ronan, there has always been a huge energy hidden, called Ryumyaku. All the queens of this country have the ability to manipulate Ryumyaku.

 

A few years ago, a traitor named Mukade came to Ronan and persuaded the queen at the time to release the seal of Ryumyaku and use its power to develop Roran.

 

However, after a period of time, the queen saw through Mukade's ambition and stopped assisting him. As a result, the queen was killed.

 

At that time, Konoha got this information.

 

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was the third Hokage at the time, ordered Minato to lead the team and formed a four-person team with Shibi Aburame, Choza Akimichi, and Kakashi. After sneaking into the ancient kingdom of Roran, they fought fiercely with the puppet army controlled by Mukade.

 

In the end, Namikaze Minato successfully defeated Mukade, sealed the Ryumyaku again, and returned to Konoha.

 

It is a pity that the people of the ancient country of Roran have not been able to return to a peaceful and happy life, because this country has attracted the attention of the Land of Wind.

 

So not long after Minato and others left, the Land of the Wind launched a war, destroying this small country in one fell swoop, completely reduced to ruins.

 

The endless desert is like a yellow sea with no end in sight, countless yellow sands spread to the sky, and zigzag sand dunes rise and fall one after another.

 

A gust of wind swept across the ground, and waves of sand were pushed forward, like an invisible hand, peeling off the desert layer by layer.

 

Over the vast sandy sea, clouds covered most of the sky and moved slowly, casting huge shadows on the rolling sand dunes.

 

suddenly.

 

"Bang!"

 

As the clouds rolled violently, a behemoth poked its head out of the sea of clouds.

 

On the ground dozens of kilometers below it, under the shadow of the dunes and mountains, there is a ruin full of broken walls.

 

'Roran Ruins, here I come.'

 

Surprisingly, however, there are still signs of ninja activity near this site...

 

In the depths of the desert, stands an abandoned building complex.

 

Those buildings are very distinctive, long and slender, like towers standing in rows, forming a unique landscape in the endless and monotonous desert.

 

This is the ruins of the ancient country of Roran.

 

This country once prospered because of the Ryumyaku buried in the ground. At one time, the population increased sharply and it was prosperous. But it also attracted the attention of the great powers, was attacked by the army of the Land of wind, and quickly perished.

 

Today's Roran contains only the eternal desolation and loneliness.

 

Above the sky, after Kunpeng probed into the clouds, he did not fully appear, but slowly opened his abyss-like mouth.

 

A figure emanated from its mouth, and it was a new clone.

 

The next second, his clone flew towards the Roran ruins below, while his main body, Kunpeng, returned to the sea of clouds.

 

Kisame's plan is very simple, that is to use the clone to enter the Roran ruins, find the Ryumyaku and open its seal, and finally let the Kunpeng come down and absorb the power of Ryumyaku on the spot.

 

Thirty kilometers, twenty kilometers, ten kilometers...

 

Kisame got closer and closer to the ground. During this process, he closed his eyes and could feel that there was an incredible energy flow a hundred meters below Roran, like a dazzling sun, emitting a dazzling light, making it difficult for him to concentrate on it for a long time.

 

That is the Ryumyaku, which contains almost infinite chakra, powerful enough to distort time and space.

 

However, Kisame soon discovered that he was not the only one who was interested in this Ryumyaku.

 

Outside the ruins of Ryumyaku, a ninja squad of dozens of people set up a tent and stationed here.

 

Kisame secretly watched them.

 

Although none of these people wore ninja uniforms or forehead guards, Kisame could still identify that they were ninjas from Sunagakure.

 

Because he saw a sandy yellow short-haired woman in the crowd with a big belly, holding a little girl and a little boy with each hand.

 

That woman is the wife of the deceased fourth Kazekage, Karura.

 

The two-year-old girl and one-year-old boy beside her were her eldest daughter Temari and her son Kankuro. As for what she was carrying in her stomach, it was naturally her youngest son Gaara.

 

It seems that when Nagato leveled Sunagakure and slaughtered the villagers, a small number of survivors escaped and kept the last fire for Sunagakure.

 

In the camp, except for Karura, most of the other Suna ninjas were very busy. They kept going in and out of the Roran ruins, as if they were looking for something.

 

"Karuru-sama."

 

At this time, a young ninja with a bandaged head and a red mark on the right face walked out of the ruins, came to Karura, and bowed to her.

 

"Baki, how's the situation inside?" Karura asked with a kind smile.

 

Baki, although he has just turned eighteen years old, has long been promoted to Jonin due to his outstanding performance on the battlefield. The most important thing is that he is loyal to the fourth Kazekage.

 

So, when Nagato invaded Sunagakure, Baki was tasked with protecting Kazekage's widow and children.

 

In the past six months, the group has been wandering in the Kand of Wind, avoiding numerous trackers and killing pursuers along the way, and finally successfully escaped into the depths of the desert and found the Roran ruins.

 

Baki and others came here, on the one hand, to find a safe refuge, but more importantly, to find the legendary Ryumyaku.

 

Then, use its power to take revenge on Nagato and Amegakure!

 

Facing Karura's question, Baki's face darkened, and he replied with some self-reproach: "My lord, I'm sorry, I still got nothing today."

 

"It's okay, Baki."

 

Hearing that, Karura patiently comforted her subordinate, "Actually, even if you find the Ryumyaku, I'm afraid there is no way to open it. I heard that only the Queen of Roran can unlock the seal of the Ryumyaku and release its power, but where are we going to find the Queen?"

 

Her implication was to persuade Baki to give up.

 

After all, from the very beginning, finding the Ryumyaku was the idea of Baki and others. As a woman who has lost her husband and a mother of three children, Karura's only wish is to give birth to her little son safely, and she doesn't want any extravagance.

 

What Karura didn't expect was that.

 

"Karura-sama, according to the latest information we have obtained from our investigation, the last queen of Ronan is called Sara. Not only did she not die in the war, but she is likely to have been hiding in the ruins. Our people have already searched the ruins. In sometime, I believe she will be found soon."

 

Baki said with bright eyes, showing a firm determination.

 

'Oh?'

 

When Kisame, who was hiding in the dark heard this, it made him raise his eyebrows.

 

Without making any noise, he quietly bypassed the Suna camp and sneaked into the Ronan ruins in secret.

 

Half an hour later, deep in the ruins.

 

Kisame appeared alone and as the leather shoes stepped on the ground, crisp footsteps echoed in the empty street.

 

Although the buildings on both sides of the street are dilapidated, it can still be vaguely seen that they used to be resplendent. The former Roran, at the peak of its development, was no less prosperous than the capital of the Land of Wind.

 

Kisame seemed to walk forward aimlessly, but in fact, he had already sensed an unfamiliar chakra wandering around here.

 

The owner of that chakra seems to have discovered Kisame's arrival, and has been monitoring him in the dark, playing a game of peekaboo with him.

 

'Click.'

 

Suddenly, a crisp sound came from the corner of the street, and it sounded like someone stepped on the dead branches of trees that had fallen to the ground.

 

It was a girl with long dark red hair, looking sixteen or seventeen years old, young and beautiful.

 

'Oops.'

 

The girl glanced at the dead branches under her feet, then looked forward again, and found that Kisame was facing her, looking at her with a smile.

 

She didn't have time to think, she turned and ran, and soon disappeared into the depths of the ruins.

 

Ten minutes later.

 

"Hu~hu~"

 

The girl hid behind a statue in the park, panting with fear, looking back from time to time to make sure the enemy was not following.

 

She is the last queen of Roran, the daughter of Seramu, the previous queen, who was killed by the minister because she saw through the conspiracy. After that, the army of the Land of Wind arrived, destroying Ronan completely. Only Sara survived under the desperate protection of her subordinates.

 

In the former prosperous Roran Kingdom, now she is the only one left.

 

Although she is a queen, she has no subjects. Despite this, in the past few years, Sara has still adhered to the duties of the Queen of Ronan through the ages—

 

She lives alone in the ruins, guarding the Ryumyaku.

 

If nothing else, this lonely and long life will continue until Sara's death, until she also dies and leaves this world decades later.

 

But recently, a group of uninvited guests came from outside.

 

Sara speculated that those people came for the Ryumyaku, so she carefully hid in the dark, monitored them for more than two months, and used various means to interfere and prevent those people from approaching the Ryumyaku.

 

She grew up here, and is familiar with every corner of the street, so she was able to use the terrain, and narrowly escaped the search of the Suna ninja several times.

 

Just like this time.

 

Thinking of this, the corners of Sara's mouth curled up, revealing a smug smile.

 

After all, she was an adolescent girl, and it was too boring to stand alone in this ruin for several years. Well now, these guys who came to find the Ryumyaku have added a lot of fun to Sara's boring life.

 

However, it turned out that Sara was too happy.

 

"Hello."

 

Just when Sara thought she had gotten rid of her pursuers, a voice suddenly came from the side.

 

Sara was shocked and looked with a look of astonishment, only to realize that—

 

Kisame quietly appeared in the park at an unknown time, sitting on a bench a few meters away from Sara and greeted her.

 

Without saying a word, Sara turned around and ran in the other direction, but just after she ran a few steps, she tripped over the chakra wire under her feet and fell on the grass.

 

Kisame walked to Sara, stretched out a hand to the girl, and said again:

 

"Don't be nervous, I'm not in the same group as those Suna ninjas, I'm here to help you."

 

"Help me?"

 

Sara stared at Kisame with a wary expression on her face, instead of taking his hand, she frowned and said coldly, "I don't care who you are, you are not welcome here, and I don't need anyone's help."

 

"No, you need my help."

 

Kisame corrected Sara's thoughts on the spot and explained to her, "I know that you are the Queen of Roran, guarding the Ryumyaku here. But you don't know that Ryumyaku's energy is very unstable, and it is very likely to cause space-time confusion, thus Summon people from the future era or from other worlds. Once that happens, there will be a series of chain reactions that will bring disaster to this world. Have you thought about this?"

 

"You... Who are you, why are you talking nonsense here?"

 

Sara was shocked, not only because the other party revealed her identity in one sentence, but also because of the sensational remarks made by him.

 

"I am a peace loving person dedicated to maintaining the balance of power in this world."

 

Kisame smiled and said inexplicably, "As for whether I am talking nonsense, when you bring me to the Ryumyaku, I will naturally prove it to you, little girl."

 

"Don't even think about it!" Sara hearing that and immediately refused without hesitation.

 

Taking advantage of Kisame's inattentiveness, she suddenly got up from the grass and fled into the distance.

 

Kisame looked at Sara running away, and followed her with his hands in his pockets.

 

Sara's good luck seems to have run out today.

 

She had just escaped from the park, and before she had time to catch her breath, she ran into a group of Suna ninjas head-on.

 

"Catch her!"

 

The Suna ninjas were overjoyed and immediately formed an encirclement formation. After a moderate battle, Sara was quickly captured.

 

The Roran Queen was bound by the Suna Ninja with chains and held back.

 

Kisame witnessed all this, but he did not take action, but watched Sara being taken away by Sun ninja.

 

Since someone plays the role of the villain, he can save some effort, he just need to be a oriole, and easily pick the fruit at the last moment.

 

Sara was brought to Karura by the Suna ninja.

 

"Your Majesty, please forgive their rudeness, I apologize to you."

 

Seeing that Sara's neck was bruised by the chains, Karura couldn't bear it, and hurriedly ordered Baki, who was beside her, to release the shackles for the girl.

 

"Hmph, don't be hypocritical. It's me who was unlucky to fall into your hands. Even if you want to kill me, I will never give you Ryumyaku."

 

Sara turned her head to the side and said stubbornly.

 

"Really? Don't worry, we have many ways to get you to speak." Baki sneered, and winked at a few Suna Ninjas, indicating that they could use other means.

 

Seeing this, Karura frowned, and again ordered Baki: "Don't torture her."

 

At her request, the Suna Ninja did not torture Sara, but interrogated her with illusion, and soon learned the location of an underground passage from her mouth.

 

According to Sara, Ryumyaku is at the end of that passage.

 

After getting this information, all the Suna Ninjas were extremely excited and couldn't wait to get the power of the Ryumyaku and take revenge on their enemy.

 

So, they immediately escorted Sara towards the location of the underground passage.

 

Shortly after.

 

Everybody came to a dilapidated palace. Stepping into the collapsed gate, through the hall covered with marble but full of cracks, under Sara's guidance, who was controlled by illusion, they entered a room deep in the palace.

 

'Rumble.'

 

When Sara opened a secret mechanism, the dark grid on the floor slowly rose, and a deep tunnel suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

 

Karura was pregnant, and with two children, it was very difficult to move, so it was impossible for her to enter the tunnel.

 

"I'll wait for you here. Be careful when you go down."

 

She told Baki feeling very worried about the mission.

 

"Karura-sama, don't worry, we will be extremely cautious while obtaining the Ryumyaku."

 

Baki nodded solemnly, and instructed a few Suna ninjas to stay and take care of Karura and her two children here.

 

Under Karura's gaze, Sara was the first to get into the tunnel, followed by Baki and others, and the group quickly disappeared into the depths of the tunnel.

 

"Karura-sama, please rest for a while."

 

A Suna kunoichi, supported Karura, walked to the sofa that was wiped clean next to her, and let her sit down. The other two ninjas were playing with Temari and Kankuro.

 

Karura glanced at her two children, then leaned on the sofa with a smile, closed her eyes, planned to take a nap, and patiently waited for the good news from Baki and others.

 

But at this moment, a sudden change occurred.

 

'Swish!'

 

A sword light roamed the room, attacking the Suna ninjas, and while screaming, they fell down one by one.

 

The reason why these people were defenseless was because the one who attacked them turned out to be the most trustworthy companions.

 

The murderer is a young ninja named Yura.

 

'Boom!'

 

As the two ninjas collapsed in shock, the hot blood spurting from their necks splattered on Temari and Kankuro, causing the two little kids to burst into tears.

 

"Yura, you..."

 

Karura opened her eyes wide, stood up from the sofa, and looked at the murderer who suddenly defected and murdered their companions in horror and anger.

 

Yura, like Baki, is a young Jōnin from Sunagakure, and his strength is quite good.

 

However, Kagura and the others would never have imagined that this person had been controlled by the Sasori of Red Sand with "Red secret technique" and became the latter's subordinate and a spy.

 

In the anime, when the Deidara and Sasori invaded Sunagakure to capture the one tails, it was Yura who led the way for them and killed all the defending ninjas.

 

"Yura, why are you betraying the village, and who are you working for?"

 

Karura stood up from the sofa and shouted sharply, her indigo blue eyes were full of anger.

 

In the face of her questioning, Yura calmly wiped off the blood on the Shinobi sword, and responded with a sneer:

 

"It's okay to tell you, my boss is Sasori of the red sand. And he has secretly joined Amegakure not long ago and became a member of the Akatsuki organization. In other words, the person I really serve is the son of prophecy, The owner of the eye of reincarnation, Rinnegan, - Nagato-sama."

 

"Shameful traitor."

 

Karura clenched her fists, and yellow sand rose from under her feet and condensed in front of her.

 

"Karura-sama, don't try to struggle, how could you, a pregnant woman, be my opponent. Be careful of the child in your belly."

 

Yura pretended to care, and continued without fear, "By the way, I have already passed the information gathered here to Sasori-sama, and within half an hour, he will come here with the ninjas organized by Akatsuki. At that time, you, Baki and all the other Suna ninjas, will die."

 

Hearing this, Karura's expression changed drastically.

 

Because she knew that Yura's words were not that of an alarmist. Once the people of Akatsuki's organization come here, with the present combat power of Suna Shinobi, it is impossible to be the thei opponent.

 

At that time, the last living members of Sunagakure will be wiped out, and even the Ryumyaku will fall into the hands of the Akatsuki.

 

Thinking of this, Karura felt a deep despair.

 

She is most desperate for her three children. The oldest is only two years old, and the youngest has not yet been born. They didn't even have time to grow up, and when they haven't even looked at this beautiful world, they were about to die in this desert of ruins.

 

As if he could see Karura's thoughts, Yura's eyes flashed, and he made a condition to her:

 

"Karuru-sama, for the sake of your usual kindness to me, I can let you and your child leave, but in exchange, you have to give me something."

 

As he spoke, he moved towards the door.

 

"What?" Karura asked, frowning.

 

"The tea pot that sealed the one tails."

 

Yura stared at Karura with bright eyes, his greedy gaze wandered around her, "That thing must be on you, right?"

 

The one tail is the only tailed beast owned by Shayin Village. The first Jinchuriki was a monk.

 

But a year ago, the monk passed away due to his old age. The one tail, who was freed from the shackles of the Jinchuriki, ran rampant in the village many times, and finally the Kazekage Rasa attacked and sealed him in the tea kettle with a magnetic release.

 

After Sunagakure was destroyed, the tea kettle disappeared together with the village. According to Yura's conjecture, the person most likely to know where it is is undoubtedly Karura, the widow of Kazekage.
