Uchiha Itachi had reprimanded him.
Yet Kisame Hoshigaki actually took his words to heart.
Though he was deeply unwilling,
he still bowed in apology and said:
"Sorry, Village Chief of Hidden Jun Village. I was wrong."
Ye Chen raised an eyebrow slightly and said:
"With just an apology and nothing tangible, it's hard for me to believe you're sincere!"
Kisame Hoshigaki was already unwilling. How could he possibly accept this wholeheartedly?
He immediately wanted to snap back.
But then he saw the unfriendly look on his partner's face.
Kisame Hoshigaki froze briefly, and his anger actually vanished just like that.
After a moment's hesitation, he reached back into his loose black robe and began searching.
Ever since Uchiha Itachi arrived, Kisame Hoshigaki had returned to his original form.
Strangely enough, there was no telling what material the loose black robes worn by the Akatsuki were made of.
Earlier, when Kisame Hoshigaki fused with his weapon, Samehada, his body had rapidly expanded, yet it had not torn his black robe apart.
Now that he had returned to his original form, the black robe had not even been stretched out of shape. It was truly unusual.
Kisame Hoshigaki rummaged inside his black robe for a while, then extended his pale hand and tossed something toward Ye Chen.
An entirely crimson object flew toward Ye Chen.
Sensing no danger, Ye Chen casually caught it.
The object landed securely in Ye Chen's palm.
He opened his hand to look. A tadpole-shaped piece of crimson jade lay quietly there.
Ye Chen's eyes lit up, and information about the jade appeared before him.
