The sunlight passed through the treetops and dappled the female ninja's body, coating her with a soft halo and causing Kisame Hoshigaki's long-closed heart to tremble slightly.
Since childhood, Kisame Hoshigaki has always been isolated from the crowd because of his special appearance. No one wants to talk to him, and no one wants to be friends with him.
Her name seems to be Terumi Rei, a Terumi Clan ninja who was promoted to Chunin at the age of eighteen." Kisame Hoshigaki's other party's information came to mind.
"No need." Kisame Hoshigaki didn't care about this concern and just said indifferently, "Please don't get too close to me.
Although he was rejected, Terumi Rei was not angry. Instead, he sat next to Kisame Hoshigaki, took out his own rice balls and other dry food, and started eating by himself.
Dry Persimmon Ghost Palm paused slightly while looking at the kettle.
The two of them just sat side by side with a slight distance apart, which was an experience that Kisame Hoshigaki had never had before.
Several other ninjas glanced here curiously, and couldn't help but look confused when they saw that the two of them were just sitting together eating without any more communication.
For the captain of this mission, Kisame Hoshigaki, they both respect and fear him because of his appearance, so no one is willing to say a few words to the captain.
After lunch, everyone rested for a while, and Kisame Hoshigaki ordered Qichen to continue its patrol mission.
Six Kirigakure Ninja followed behind Kisame Hoshigaki, flying quickly among the treetops of the coastal forest, but deliberately keeping a certain distance.
Kisame Hoshigaki has long been accustomed to being isolated every day.
"Captain Gansaki!" Suddenly, Terumi Rei, who had a pair of bright and attractive big eyes and long brown hair, accelerated in parallel with Kisame Hoshigaki.
Kisame Hoshigaki, whose name was called, turned his head slightly and looked at Terumi Rei, who had taken the initiative to talk to him twice, with his small shark eyes and remained silent.
"What I just said can be done after the mission is over." Terumi Rei looked at Kisame Hoshigaki with a little anticipation.
Kisame Hoshigaki, who is not good at communicating with others, was approached by a girl for the first time in his life, and this time he didn't even know how to refuse.
Land of Water A coastal port in southwest China.
On a merchant ship of a shipping company under the name of Gato Company, Menma carrying Samehada and Kubikiribōchō found Orochimaru who was continuing to lure the abducted orphans.
"Is it solved?" When Orochimaru saw Asura come back, he asked the children to go back to their cabins to rest and prepare to set sail for their new home.
Then he looked at Asura. The snake pupils under his long hair looked at the two Ninja Blades that Asura was carrying with great interest.
"This is Seven Ninja Swords part two of Kirigakure."
"Sure enough, you weren't hurt at all. Kirigakure's bunch of trash are nothing more than that." Orochimaru was not surprised that Asura returned safely.
Even when he escaped from Konoha, he was seriously injured.
And Asura was able to make a big fuss in Konoha and then retreat completely, which shows how powerful it is.
The last time Shinobi World fought, Orochimaru fought against Kirigakure Ninja. He also had a deep understanding of Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist's strength.
At this time, he saw Asura returning carrying two Ninja Blade. He couldn't help but become interested. He stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, and said to Asura, "I heard that Kirigakure and Seven Ninja Swords each have their own characteristics, among which Samehada and Kubikiribōchō are the most distinctive. If you don't mind, can you study them for me?"
Research on ninja tools is not Orochimaru's specialty, but Orochimaru also has some accomplishments in ninja tools. For example, he used Nine-Tails Chakra to develop Mecha-Naruto and Mecha-Kurama, which at least have the combat effectiveness of Elite Jonin.
"Let's wait and see when you can mass-produce Three-Tomoe Sharingan." Menma did not agree to Orochimaru's request and went straight to the depths of the room.
"Bite off more than you can chew, Orochimaru." Menma added this as he passed by Orochimaru.
"Heh." Orochimaru didn't take it seriously.
He wanted to understand all the unknowns in this world so much. This thirst for knowledge was the source of motivation that prompted Orochimaru to find the method of immortality.
Menma took out a Storage Scroll and sealed Samehada and Kubikiribōchō inside.
In this way, when he needs it, he can channel it through Storage Scroll.
The Seven Ninja Swords Sealing Scroll controlled by the Hozuki Clan is just a similar Storage Scroll. It neither signed Summoning Contract with Seven Ninja Swords nor can it be channeled through other means.
For example, during the Fourth Ninja World War, the seven Ninja Swordsmen who were reincarnated from the dirty earth only had four Ninja Swords, all of which were channeled by Onito Mangetsu using the sealing scroll. The other three Ninja Swords were not included because they were used by their successors.
The ship was about to leave duty. Orochimaru was very satisfied with this trip to Hidden Mist. He looked at Asura who was sitting quietly in the room with his vertical snake eyes, but he still couldn't see through the mystery behind the white Three-Eyed Fox Mask.
Later, Orochimaru also left the cabin to see how the children he abducted were doing.
The commotion outside the cabin is getting louder and louder, more and more passengers are boarding the ship, and the ship is about to set sail.
Menma unfolded Mind's Eye of the Kagura and explored the surrounding situation.
Although he defeated the only three remaining Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, it is not ruled out that Obito will send White Zetsu to follow him, or even continue to ask Yagura to send Kirigakure Ninja to die.
Menma also knew that Obito had been weakening Kirigakure's strength, suppressing each ninja clan, and created Bloody Mist Policy to avenge his Lin.
So after he killed Biwa Juzo and Suikazan Fuguki, he did not pursue the fleeing Hozuki Mangetsu. Returning with a living Hozuki Mangetsu might accelerate the internal conflicts within Hidden Mist.
"Huh?" After opening Mind's Eye of the Kagura, Menma quickly discovered several chakra fluctuations dozens of kilometers away.
"What a huge chakra." Among them, the person at the front of this ninja team has the strongest chakra fluctuations, which is comparable to the amount of chakra of Tailed Beast.
But this chakra was not the Tailed Beast Chakra that Menma was familiar with. It was just an ordinary ninja chakra, but it was very huge. Menma couldn't help but think of Kisame Hoshigaki, who was called "Monster Without a Tail".
"Is it sent by Obito?" Menma remembers that the Kisame Hoshigaki rebellion should have happened after Itachi Uchiha joined Akatsuki.
Because Itachi Uchiha's first teammate after joining Akatsuki was Biwa Juzo, and after Biwa Juzo died, he became Kisame Hoshigaki.
After thinking for a while, Menma decided to meet Kisame Hoshigaki.
After all, in the original plot, Kisame Hoshigaki is also a real man full of tragedy.
He has been walking in the dark to protect Kirigakure's secrets, and even silenced Kirigakure Ninja when he was surrounded by hostile ninjas. In the end, he found out that his boss was a traitor and betrayed Hidden Mist's information to neighboring countries. Kisame's belief in protecting the village collapsed.
At this time, Obito manipulated Fourth Mizukage Karatachi Yagura to appear in front of him, calling himself Uchiha Madara. He explained to him how to create a peaceful world without war and killing, "Eye of the Moon Plan", and invited Kisame to join.
And Kisame is also the only one among Akatsuki who is loyal to Obito, or Uchiha Madara, and has been working hard for the peaceful world created by "Eye of the Moon Plan".
Even though he was defeated by Might Guy and others in the end, after being captured, in order not to leak the information about Uchiha Madara and Akatsuki, Kisame Hoshigaki chose to channel a shark and bite himself to pieces.
Such a real man, Menma really wants to attract him.
