Kisame

"Really?"

Yukino suddenly blushed.

In fact, when she saw Pakura for the first time, she thought she was Kisame's new love, and she couldn't help feeling sad and lost.

But now, Yukino's heart was only deeply moved.

At this moment, she felt that she was the happiest woman in the world.

"Pakura, you can stay here temporarily and acompany Yukino. If I have news, I will let you know."

Kisame had thought about it for a while, and instructed Pakura.

After all, it's not very good to let Pakura sleep in the Box of Ultimate Bliss all the time. It's better to let her stay here to accompany Yukino, and this was she can also protect Yukino and Haku.

"Well, ok." Pakura nodded and agreed readily.

In this way, Kisame can safely return to Kirigakure.

Early the next morning.

Yukino and Pakura sent Kisame to the door, watching his back go away.

On the way.

Kisame is now thinking about how to deal with his current boss, Fuguki Suikazan, after returning to Kirigakure.

The mission he received at the beginning was to go undercover in Hozuki Castle to kill Pakura, but now he returned empty-handed, he had to think of a story to fool him.

Two days later, Kisame returned to Kirigakure.

As soon as he returned to the village, he felt the feverish atmosphere of war everywhere. Many people were clamoring on the street to immediately attack the Land of Fire, all the way into Konoha.

After all, the Land of Fire occupies the best piece of land in the ninja world, and its geographical conditions are extremely advantageous, and it has always been coveted by all countries.

Now Konoha is at war with Iwakagure and Kumogakure at the same time, and the local emptiness is a good opportunity for Kirigakure to invade.

However, what is puzzling is that Yagura, the fourth Mizukage, has been doing nothing.

"Hey, that guy in the suit... Isn't that Hoshigaki Kisame?"

"Crazy Kisame? Wasn't he sent to Hozuki Castle as a prisoner? Why did he come back?"

On the street, someone soon recognised Kisame with a look of surprise.

When they came back to their senses, Kisame had disappeared and quietly came to the Anbu base.

After half an hour.

In a secret room, Kisame met his long-lost boss, Fuguki Suikazan.

"Hoshigaki Kisame, what's going on?"

Fuguki Suikazan sat on the chair, holding the Samehada in his right hand, frowned, and asked Kisame in a deep voice.

As long as Kisame's answer does not satisfy him, he will be cut off by the Samaheda on the spot and turned into a headless corpse.

At first Suikazan felt that having Kisame as a subordinate is very unlucky, so he made an excuse and sent the latter to undercover in Hozuki Castle, which was actually equivalent to lifelong exile.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Kisame left Kirigakure, he defeated the Anbu ninja who escorted him and escaped.

After receiving the news, Suikazan was furious, and even announced that Kisame was a traitor and issued a warrant. However, it didn't take long for the news to come from Hozuki Castle, saying that Kisame had arrived at the prison ahead of schedule and was already serving his sentence in prison.

After hearing that, Suikazan had to rescind the wanted order for Kisame embarrassedly.

After more than half a year, there was no movement in the prison, but Kisame suddenly appeared again and returned to Kirigakure.

Facing Suikazan's questioning.

"Sir, I have discovered a shocking secret."

Kisame looked very concerned, and with his superb acting skills, he told Suikazan about what happened in Hozuki Castle in a mixed way.

"After I entered the prison, I quickly found the mission target - Pakura of Scorch release, and figured out the latter's life and habit, and was waiting for the opportunity. But on the night I planned to attack Pakura, she was unexpectedly attacked by the warden. Mui sent someone to kidnap and took her to a mysterious underground laboratory...

There, the chakra in Pakura's body was drained, and she was sacrificed to a strange door. I later learned that the door was actually a treasure handed down from the ancient times to Kusagakure, it's called the Box of Ultimate Bliss...

Later, Hanzo, the leader of Amegakure, who got the information about it, taking advantage of the chaos of the Land of Grass, he led a large-scale invasion on Hozuki Castle. A fierce battle broke out between them. That night, many prisoners died, I managed to escape while taking advantage of the chaos and desperately brought this information back to Kirigakure..."

The story made up by Kisame is very exciting, rich in details, and vivid like a novel. And there are no flaws in the logic, making it hard to doubt.

In particular, words such as "Box of Ultimate Bliss" and "Hanzo" made Suikazan's pupils shrink sharply, and he fell into shock and contemplation for a time.

Suikazan is skeptical about Kisame's words.

But then he thought about it, if Kisame was lying, why would he have to run all the way back to Kirigakure, wouldn't it be good to hide in any place to be at ease?

After all, once Kisame's lies are exposed, there is only a dead end waiting for him.

Is he is really a ninja who is loyal to the village and willing to give everything, even his own life, to complete the task?

Thinking of this, Suikazan released the Samehada in his hand and looked at Kisame with a eased expression..

"Regarding the matter you reported, I will send someone to conduct further investigation. You should go back to Anbu to resume your duties. During this time, follow the seniors of Anbu to familiarize yourself with the department's affairs."

He thought about it for a while, and ordered Kisame.

In Suikazan's eyes, although Kisame is an unlucky guy, his strength is not bad, and he is also very loyal to the village.

Now is the time of war, and his men are short of manpower. People like Kisame can undoubtedly come in handy.

"Yes, my lord."

Kisame bowed to Suikazan and followed another Anbu out of the room.

"As an Anbu ninja, how can you show off in this kind of clothes? Come with me."

The Anbu glanced at Kisame's suit, and was very displeased. He took him to get a set of Anbu's combat uniform and mask, and ordered Kisame to put it on.

Kisame got a shark mask, codenamed "Shark" in Anbu.

He glanced at the back room where Suikazan lived.

When he was in the room just now, he didn't choose to kill Suikazan directly and grab Samaheda, in order to wait for a better time.

Kisame is waiting for Uchiha Madara to make a move.

He realized that maybe he could use a tactic to drive away the wolf and reap the benefits as the fisherman.

A sinister plan gradually took shape in Kisame's mind.

.........

It has been a while since Kisame returned to Kirigakure.

After successfully fooling Suikazan, he rested for some time as Anbu to find out the current situation in the village.

His two former teammates, Terumi Mei and Ringo Ameyuri, have now been promoted to Chunin. However, he only watched them secretly, and did not take the initiative to show his identity to them.

After all, what Kisame will do next will be very dangerous, and there is no need to involve them.

Compared to Terumi Mei and Ameyuri Ringo, what Kisame cares more about is actually another person.

Hozuki Mangetsu.

Since he returned to the village, he has not found any trace of Mangetsu, and the monster cell in his body doesn't show any response. As if that guy disappeared out of thin air.

Kisame felt that the situation was strange.

So, he started a search in the forests around Kirigakure.

In a flash, three months passed.

The Third Ninja War had entered the white-hot stage at this time.

In the early days of the war, the once ambitious Kumogakure, the Land of Lightning, went south to attack Sunagakure, Iwakagure and Konoha at the same time, and had the potential to push the ninja world down.

However, it turns out that Kumogakure overestimated itself.

Kumogakure's army was first frustrated on the battlefield of Suna, and was repelled by Rasa, the fourth Kazekage, whose Kekkei Genkai is Magnet release, which declared the failure of this invasion.

Then, in the frontal battle with Iwakage, in order to let his comrades escape, the third Raikage Raikage fought against Iwakagure's army of 10,000 ninjas by himself. After fighting for three days and three nights, he died of exhaustion.

Soon after, in the process of fighting against Konoha, the A and Bee combination of Kumogakure who were in the limelight was overwhelmed by Konoha Village's "Yellow Flash" Namikaze Minato, and could only withdraw first and temporarily come to an end.

At this point, as the initiator of the Third Ninja War, Kumogakure was defeated across the board, and had to stop and withdraw in a dreadful manner.

However, with the sad exit of Kumogakure, the war did not end.

Because in the past few months, the war has spread to every corner of the ninja world unknowingly.

It seemed that Iwakagure has been accumulating power for many years. After defeating Kumogakure and killing the third Raikage, their morale was boosted for a while, and soon it assembled a large army and aggressively invaded the territory of the Land of Fire 

Kirigakure, which had been watching the fire from across the bank, finally couldn't hold back, and sent troops across the sea to fight against Konoha.

During these months.

When the ninja world was hot and many geniuses became famous, Kisame still played the role of an ordinary Kiri Anbu.

After a long search, he finally found Mangetsu's trail.

To the southwest of Kirigakure, in a big mountain 100 kilometers away.

Kisame walked in the woods, searching carefully.

In this place, he sensed the existence of monster cells, which means that Mangetsu is nearby.

Shortly after Kisame found a hidden cave.

He sneaks in quietly.

Passing through a dark and long corridor, Kisame came to the depths of the cave and found a spacious underground secret room.

"Ah! It hurts... Please forgive me, ah..." In the secret room, someone screams, mixed with begging for mercy rang.

This familiar voice was indeed from Mangetsu.

Kisame hid in the darkness, tried his best to hide his breath, and looked into the secret room.

He saw a mass of white slimes, imprisoned in a translucent glass container as high as one person. The outer wall of the container is covered with some kind of mysterious sealing technique, constantly emitting a strange red light.

Under the red light, the slime in the container seemed to be scorched by the strong sunlight, melting like snow, unable to gather strength.

There was only one mouth left that didn't melt, and it kept crying and begging for mercy.

The one who Mangetsu is begging for mercy is a strange person with a white body, especially a face, which has no facial features, but a swirling shape.

White Zetsu.

Kisame recognized the identity of the other party at a glance. It was the most special-looking one among Zetsu's clones, and possessed great power.

White Zetsu is Uchiha Madara's subordinate.

"Oh, it's useless for you to beg me, who made you so curious to find this place, and was caught by us? But then again, your body is even more amazing than mine, even Madara. It's unbelievable that I can't kill you."

White Zetsu pouted and looked at Mangetsu in the container through the glass with a look of surprise.

'So that's what happened.'

From the chatter of the chatterbox White Zetsu, Kisame quickly figured out what was going on.

Mangetsu has never given up the investigation of the death of the third Mizukage. Later, he finally found clues and found the hiding place of Uchiha Madara, the mastermind behind the scenes.

As a result, he was no match for the opponent and became a prisoner.

In this cave, Kisame only saw White Zetsu, but did not find any trace of Gunbai. 

'What is this going?'

He frowned, carefully recalling the plot in the anime.

Back then, after the Battle of the Valley of the End, Madara Uchiha escaped from Konoha by feigning death and went underground to hide.

According to his speculation, Madara's hiding place is actually impossible to be near the Kirigakure.

There are two reasons for it.
