Chapter 188: Konan: Are You Going to Make Me Cry Again?

Finally,

after a long silence,

Kisame Hoshigaki forced a smile onto his face.

"I never expected that to be the truth."

"That world of illusions sounds rather nice."

If he was going to be deceived either way, spending his life happily in an illusion did not seem so bad.

[Ahahahahaha...]

Tsunade and the others looked stunned as they read the
