Kisame

On her body, now there is a black word "Explosion".

After Kisame completed the seal, the word suddenly became dim, and soon completely disappeared from Kushina's skin and was hidden in her body.

This is a flexible use of Shibuki's ability.

The word "Explosion" he left in Kushina's body has a very weak amount of chakra, which is not lethal, but was extremely difficult to detect.

It can only be used as a mark.

Using this mark, Kisame can sense Kushina's whereabouts as long as she is within a range of five kilometers.

When he comes to Konoha next time, it will be very convenient if he wants to take her as a hostage.

Kisame could feel that Kushina was about to wake up.

He wouldn't kill her here, because that would likely wake up the Nine-Tails again, after all, if the Jinchuriki is damaged the tailed beast will act because they both will die at the same time.

Moreover, after killing Kushina, Kisame will not get any benefit, he will only gain the mortal enemity of Minato.

For him, the most important thing now is to go to Hozuki Castle and get the Box of Ultimate Bliss.

Thinking of this, Kisame threw Kushina by the river and jumped into the River.

After less than ten seconds.

Swish.

Namikaze Minato came again, took the unconscious Kushina in his arms, and carefully checked whether the latter was injured or not.

In fact, he has always followed Kisame from a distance, waiting for an opportunity to rescue his lover.

When he sensed that Kisame's chakra had left, he appeared for the first time.

"Well…"

Kushina who laid in Minato's arms woke up slowly, with blank and confused eyes, trying to recall what happened before she became unconscious.

"How are you?"

Seeing that she was safe and sound, Minato finally breathed a sigh of relief and asked with concern.

"I'm fine."

Kushina opened her mouth and answered, and suddenly opened her eyes with a look of surprise.

"What's wrong?" Minato quickly asked.

"It's the nine tails, it says..."

Kushina exchanged thoughts with the nine tails in her body, and then looked at Minato Namikaze with a serious expression, "I was subdued by the enemy in a state of half-tailed beast. Nine tails was very afraid, because It sensed the Chakra of the first Hokage from that person."

She has never seen Nine Tails like this since she knew it, full of fear.

"What?!"

Hearing this, Namikaze Minato was shocked.

At this time, another figure hurried to the river.

It's Jiraiya.

Minato quickly told his teacher about this.

After listening to this, Jiraya's brows were furrowed, and his expression became more serious than ever.

He pondered for a moment, and then ordered Minato:

"It's a big deal, you quickly bring Kushina back to the village, and report the matter to the third Hokage. I'll go track the enemy myself."

"Teacher be careful, the other party's methods are very strange."

Minato nodded solemnly, and described the appearance of Kisame to Jiraiya, as well as the latter's ability to fire a ball of chakra from his mouth, and pointed out that the enemy most likely escaped along the river.

Summoning jutsu!

After forming a seal, Jiraiya pressed his palm to the ground and summoned a three-meter-tall toad, ordering it to jump into the river.

Then, he stepped on the back of the toad and went down the river.

One person and one toad quickly disappeared in the lower reaches of the River.

Minato took Kushina with him, and used the Flying Thunder God to returned to Konoha.

After an hour.

Hokage Office.

The third Hokage kept smoking his pipe, with a lot of thoughts.

Just now, he had learned about the whole thing from Minato Namikaze and Uzumaki Kushina.

An unknown enemy has invaded Konoha, most likely targeting the Nine-Tailed Jinchuriki. The most shocking thing is that the other party used the Wood release Sealing Technique of the first Hokage.

This has been personally confirmed by the nine tails in Kushina's body - it has rich experience in being suppressed by the first Hokage, and is familiar with the latter's chakra.

The situation is critical.

He immediately ordered to protect Kushina closely. And ordered all the Anbu to dispatch, unite with other ninjas in the village, and search for any suspicious person.

For a time, the atmosphere of the entire Konoha Village was unprecedentedly tense, as if it had entered a state of war.

The third Hokage suddenly remembered something.

At the beginning, when the Second Ninja War was inextricable, in order to end the war, he consulted with the senior officials of Konoha and ordered to secretly study the cells of the first Hokage in an attempt to gain the power of Mokuton.

However, in the course of human experiments that lasted for several years, a large number of innocent people died, and the research on Hashirama cells has still not made any progress.

After several heavy discussions, he had to stop the research.

However, he has always suspected that Danzo, who was in charge of this research at the time, did not obey his orders, but continued to carry out cruel human experiments behind the scenes.

Even his most proud disciple, Orochimaru, is likely to be involved.

Thinking of this, he sighed deeply.

He let Orochimaru join the root and become Danzo's subordinate. The original intention was to let this disciple monitor Danzo and check and balance his power.

Unexpectedly, Orochimaru got closer and closer to Danzo, and further and further away from his teacher.

He knew that Danzo had a unique set of criteria for selecting and cultivating root ninjas.

Obviously, Danzo had insight into Orochimaru's inner weakness, and the latter gradually fell into darkness.

Maybe it's time to have a good "talk" with Danzo and Orochimaru.

He had to figure out who sent the Mokuton ninja who invaded Konoha, and did it have anything to do with the Root?

In the end, this matter may turn into a bloody storm.

…

While the Konohagakure was in chaos, Kisame, who was the initiator, had already fled to the Land of Grass.

He returned to his original appearance and entered Kusagakure.

Hozuki Castle is located on a small island near Kusagakure, surrounded by the inland sea on all sides and isolated from the world.

Kisame has never been there and doesn't know the route, but he has his own way.

After staying two days in Kusagakure, Kisame finally saw an Anbu team.

The Anbu team was escorting a prisoner with a scar on his face in a prison cart. Because Scarface resisted the rule of Hanzo, the leader of Amekagure, he was arrested by the latter and sent to Hozuki Castle to serve his sentence.

The Anbu team went out of the village after a brief rest in Kusagakure and headed straight for Hozuki Castle.

Kisame followed all the way, not being too far or too near.

The team escorting the prison van disappeared at the corner of an intersection.

Kisame walked over the intersection.

'Whoosh whoosh.'

Several Ame Anbu appeared from all directions and surrounded him with weapons, apparently having noticed this suspicious man for a long time.

"It seems that the prisoner's accomplice appeared, and he dared to hijack the prisoner van alone."

The leader sneered and said.

The scarred-faced prisoner in the prison car was confused because he didn't know Kisame at all.

"Everyone, you have misunderstood."

Kisame hurriedly raised his hands in surrender and showed a friendly smile, "I'm not here to help him escape, I'm here to join you."

When this statement came out, everyone was shocked.

"What do you mean?" The Anbu leader asked with a frown.

"I'm from Kirigakure, and I was sent to the Hozuki Castle for a serious crime. But the Anbu ninja who escorted me had something to do, so they went back halfway. They told me to report to the prison myself, but I am not familiar with the route, so I wanted to hitch a ride..."

Kisame reported his home with a smile on his face, and explained the cause and effect.

'Hitch a ride to jail?'

This reason is really unheard of, it let the Ame Anbu stare for a long time.

The question is, who would be so idiot to believe such nonsense?

They have never heard that prisoners will go to jail by themselves, and that too to a notorious prison like Hozuki Castle.

Unless they are impatient to live, no one would go there on their own.

"Go ahead and take down this suspicious guy!"

Thinking of this, the Anbu leader, gave an order to his companions.

Hearing this, Kisame shook his head and sighed, saying to himself:

"Why don't people believe me, do I really look like a liar who tells lies?"

When his voice fell, he had no choice but to take action, justified self defense.

Three minutes later.

A familiar scene was played out again.

Like the Kirigakure Anbu who once escorted Kisame, these Ame Anbu were all knocked down by Kisame, rolling on the ground and wailing.

Kisame didn't play too hard, after all, he still had to count on these people to send him to prison.

However, he left an explosion seal on every Ame Ninja's body, and demonstrated the art of explosion for them on the spot.

'Boom!'

A large bluestone that was as tall as a person was blasted away by Kisame.

This scene made them sweat hard and give up the idea of continuing to resist.

Under their fearful gazes, Kisame went straight to the prison van and opened it.

"Thank you for this..."

Scar who was in the prison car looked ecstatic, and was about to thank Kisame for his life-saving grace, but was pushed into the corner of the prison car by the latter.

"Brother, move aside."

Kisame stretched out his hand and pushed the scar face away, and went straight in. His huge body suddenly filled more than half of the prison cart.

Facing Kisame's behavior of "dove occupying a magpie's nest", Scar face could only curl up in the corner, and his whole body was attached to the pillar of the prison cart, making it difficult to even turn around.

He could hardly breathe in there.
