Only when death approaches do you know what kind of person you are

"Yes, Lord Hokage."

Kakashi picked up the Samehada that had been knocked away, bound it with white bandages, and carried it on his back.

Kisame Hoshigaki:??

I'm not dead yet, so why are they already dividing up my belongings?

"Aoba Yamashiro, come here."

Tsunade called out to a Ninja wearing sunglasses in the distance behind her.

"Yes."

Aoba Yamashiro Body Flicker Technique forward and stood before Kisame Hoshigaki.

Aside from the Yamanaka Clan, he was considered the second most skilled Ninja in Konoha Village at gathering intelligence.

His ability allows him to peer into other people's minds and search their memories.

The restrictions are that the other party cannot strongly resist and he must make contact with the other party.

And the search time is much longer.

The main reason was that Inoichi Yamanaka was not here for the time being, Tsunade's unease made her want to know the information about Kisame Hoshigaki's organization as soon as possible.

With countless broken ribs throughout his body and unable to Hand Seals, Aoba Yamashiro Kisame Hoshigaki could only watch as Aoba Yamashiro placed her hand on his head.

Mr. Itachi, it seems I really have to go first.

You once said that a person can only truly understand themselves when they are about to die.

I'm about to die, and I still don't realize what kind of person I am... Mr. Itachi.

Kisame Hoshigaki did not resist and silently closed his eyes.

They were welcoming death.

His expression was indifferent and cold.

Just like when he was on an escort mission years ago, after encountering the Ibiki Morino squad, the Code Team he was escorting was about to be captured, so he coldly and calmly killed them all.

But as time went on, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.

The other party did not execute him, but simply kept their hand on his head.

"..."

Wrong!

His small eyes widened instantly.

He sensed that someone was spying on his memories!

This guy!

They want to pry into my memories and find out who the leader behind that organization is!

How could I possibly reveal Madara Uchiha's secret to you?

Kisame bit off his own tongue, and blood immediately seeped from the corner of his mouth!

His small eyes instantly became bloodshot.

The intense pain immediately forced Aoba Yamashiro's consciousness, which was peering into his memories, out of the room.

Aoba Yamashiro instinctively took a step back. "Lord Hokage, he..."

"What happened to him? Did he find out the organization's secrets?!"

Tsunade slightly anxious.

Aoba Yamashiro adjusted her sunglasses. "No... it's him, he bit his tongue."

They went to such lengths to prevent information leaks.

What kind of capabilities does that organization possess to win over the hearts of a rogue ninja from Kisame Hoshigaki Mist Village?

Tsunade immediately frowned.

"Preferring death to revealing intelligence is respectable, but—"

Chakra condensed a ball of green chakra Tsunade one hand and placed it on Kisame Hoshigaki.

"I am a medical Ninja, the top medical Ninja in the entire Shinobi World. You, who can't even Hand Seals now, will not be allowed to commit suicide in front of me."

"Mystical Palm Technique!"

A green ball of Chakra spread Kisame Hoshigaki, repairing the frantically multiplying cells at the broken part of his tongue.

"Heh heh... the strongest medical Ninja, huh?"

Kisame Hoshigaki's face was ashen, and he forced a very unpleasant smile.

"You have things you want to protect, and I have things I want to protect. I won't let you die."

It can't be now!

Tsunade's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

She Mystical Palm Technique to repair Kisame Hoshigaki's severed tongue, but Kisame Hoshigaki showed no fear of pain, acting as if his body wasn't his own, and frantically biting at his severed tongue.

His bloodshot eyes revealed that he was enduring immense pain.

The tongue is a very soft part of the human body. Biting it off and experiencing the pain again can leave most people with a lingering trauma after the tongue has been repaired, affecting their chewing ability.

Kisame Hoshigaki's actions are enough to prove how resolute he is.

Upon seeing Tsunade, Tsunade also broke out in a light sweat.

"Aoba Yamashiro!"

"Exist!"

"Go and summon Inoichi Yamanaka, the sooner the better!"

"Yes!"

Aoba Yamashiro was also shocked by Kisame Hoshigaki's actions, but the most important thing now was the information that Konoha needed.

He leaped into the air and sped towards the Yamanaka Clan at incredible speed.

"Is it really necessary for you to go to such lengths for that organization?"

Tsunade was very puzzled.

According to some information she knew, that mysterious organization was composed entirely of rogue ninja from various villages.

The number of rogue ninjas is unpredictable; many are even labeled as rogue ninjas because of their bloodlust and the fact that they have killed many people.

The very organization of such people is dangerous.

She couldn't understand why such an organization would be willing to lose their lives for intelligence.

"Mr. Itachi, it turns out that only when you're about to die can you truly see what kind of person you are."

Kisame Hoshigaki slightly opened his mouth, uttering a sound that was somewhat inaudible.

"What did you say?"

Tsunade frowned.

The other person bit off their tongue, making each sound extremely obscure and difficult to understand.

Since biting off one's tongue to commit suicide is impossible, then --

Kisame Hoshigaki roared inwardly, unleashing his full power as he charged Tsunade!

Tsunade neither dodged nor avoided.

If her Mystical Palm Technique were to break at this moment, Kisame Hoshigaki's cells stopped dividing and regenerating, he would die from excessive blood loss within seconds.

Moreover, she knew Kisame's physical condition very well; his headbutt had virtually no power.

But just then, Kisame Hoshigaki slowly lifted up his broken and dislocated arms!

The severed arms should not have been able to be activated.

But he managed to swing his arms by sheer willpower and the momentum of his body, and then, with sheer willpower, he managed to grab his hands together in mid-air and Hand Seals.

"Water Release: Water Shark Bullet Technique!"

From Tsunade's current perspective, she couldn't see Kisame Hoshigaki Hand Seals at all.

Moreover, she never imagined that someone with broken joints could still perform Hand Seals.

Suddenly, two or three large blue sharks appeared, their gaping jaws wide open.

Tsunade was startled and quickly punched a giant shark to death before jumping back a step.

It was at this moment that the blue sharks that had been roaring at Tsunade changed their target to Kisame Hoshigaki.

"What are you up to!"

Tsunade immediately tried to stop her.

"Puff--"

But when she heard the sound of the shark biting, Tsunade stopped in her tracks.

Kisame Hoshigaki's head had already been bitten off by the great blue shark.

In this situation, she already knew that Kisame Hoshigaki was dead.

Medical Ninja can only heal; Medical Ninjutsu cannot handle matters involving resurrection.

Before long, the Kisame Hoshigaki in front of them was completely devoured by the great white shark.

"Bang."

The two great sharks vanished into smoke.

"Gurgling."

The only sound was the flowing water.
