Naruto: Starting with the Celebrity of Japan

"Hmm..."

Kisame let out a heavy sigh, his face expressionless.

He was kneeling on the ground, his head covered in haphazardly waving hands. No matter how you looked at it, he seemed to be the one who had been completely defeated.

However, Ranshu knew that Kisame Hoshigaki had not yet used his trump card.

He hasn't used his signature techniques yet, such as Rain Shark, Five Shark, Thousand Shark, and Chakra Absorption Technique.

Although Kisame's fighting power in the original work is mostly due to his sword Samehada, Kisame's own strength should not be underestimated.

"...Not bad, you little rascal..."

Kisame said in a low voice.

"And what did you just say? You have someone important to rescue?"

"Yes, that's why I said to make it quick."

Ranshu said calmly from behind Kisame.

Kisame tossed his head, shaking off Ranshu's hand. Then, as if nothing had happened, he stood up again and turned to face Ranshu.

Kakashi stared at Kisame in shock.

He couldn't believe it. The two of them had almost exhausted their Dao just now, but now they seemed to still have energy left!

Kisame carefully examined Ranshu, and he had already made a deep impression on the boy.

Where is the person you need to save?

Kisame then asked.

"She must be in a bad situation in the north-central region."

"Give up. Juzo Biwa and Suigetsu Hozuki have both gone there. I must say, those two are quite capable. Your teammates will die."

"So I have to hurry and save them."

"Give up. In this world, you can't save everyone. Sometimes, you even have to send your loved ones on their way."

"Then let's change the world."

Luanxiu said stubbornly.

While the two were talking, many ninjas who had gone far away because of Kisame's battle returned to the battlefield. Among them were ninjas from Konoha, as well as Raiga Kurosuki, whose sword had just been taken away.

They crowded around in a noisy frenzy, eager to know the outcome of the battle.

At that moment, Kisame narrowed his eyes as he looked at Ranshu, and asked with a hint of surprise:

"You will never give up?"

He had already tried to persuade Luanxiu to give up several times, but the boy was still so stubborn.

Never.

Luanxiu said decisively.

Kisame anticipated his reply, so he threw the landmine sword, Fang, back to Raiga Kurosuki, and then cleared a path for Ranshu.

"You can leave now."

Kisame said.

Ranshu was somewhat surprised. He thought he was going to waste even more time here, but he didn't expect Kisame to not intend to fight him to the death.

"Go save your companion, otherwise you'll be in such a rush and it won't be as satisfying to fight you."

Kisame wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and chuckled as he spoke.

"Besides, I also want to see how you can change the world. When you're as utterly disappointed as I am, you'll know I was right!"

Ranshu understood Kisame's meaning and smiled slightly.

That's why Kisame is a real man!

In the original work, this guy defected from Kirigakure because he was tired of the life in Kirigakure's ANBU that required him to betray his teammates all the time.

Especially in Kisame's team, there is a very beautiful girl.

However, Kisame had no choice but to kill her to silence her for the sake of his mission.

Before she died, the girl didn't blame Kisame; instead, she gently said to him:

"Your life... must have been very difficult..."

This incident directly led Kisame to heed Obito's persuasion and decide to join the Akatsuki organization to create a new, beautiful world free from betrayal and darkness...

Of course, that's all in the future.

Today, Kisame was moved by the boy who appeared before him!

Just from the rescue of Kakashi alone, it's clear that Ranshu is putting his words into practice!

He no longer agrees with Ranxiu, but he will always uphold Ranxiu's belief in changing the world.

"Next time, I'll definitely fight you to a good time."

Ranshu nodded to Kisame in gratitude.

"Oh right, and Kakashi and the others too..."

Just as he was about to leave, Ranshu remembered the purpose of his visit—to save Kakashi, which was not yet complete.

"If you don't leave now, I'll change my mind!"

Kisame said impatiently.

Knowing that Kisame was going to see things through to the end, Ran Shu smiled and then gave Kakashi a look.

Kakashi instantly understood: because of Ranshu's request, Kisame had promised not to make things difficult for him and his Konoha ninja subordinates anymore.

The thought that Ran Shu had chosen to save him after making an extremely difficult decision warmed Kakashi's heart.

He didn't expect that after following Luanxiu for so long, he still hadn't made any progress and had even dragged Luanxiu down.

"Ms. Ranxiu! It's all my fault—"

Kakashi shouted, his voice trembling slightly.

But Ranshu didn't blame him; he simply interrupted Kakashi and gave him some instructions:

"Let's go, Kakashi. It's not your fault. When the sun rises, let's forget about yesterday!"

After saying that, Ranshu once again unleashed his full power of chakra...

They quickly turned and headed north.

Raiga Kurosuki was shocked to see that Kisame had let his important opponent go.

"Hey! What are you doing?! How can you just let him go like that?! Someone, go and bring him back!"

Kurozuki Raiga shouted orders for his men to stop Ranshu.

But to everyone's surprise, Kisame suddenly turned around and bared his teeth at the Hidden Mist ninjas:

"Hehehe, I want to see how this kid changes the world. Don't ruin my plans!"

Upon seeing the ferocious Kisame, even the Hidden Mist ninja, including Raiga Kurosuki, broke out in a cold sweat.

Despite Kisame's act of disobeying orders, no one actually dared to step past him.

They could only watch helplessly as Ran Xiu left...

Then they could only watch helplessly as Kakashi led his team to retreat.

"Desperate search!"

Raiga Kurozumi could only curse inwardly.

……

The current chaotic show is moving at breakneck speed.

The more arrogant he was with Kisame just now, the more pathetic he is now.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry!"

Luanxiu moved forward quickly, running like the Flash.

Of course, his trip to rescue Kakashi wasn't entirely fruitless.

He gained a powerful temporary ally—Kisame Hoshigaki!

However, Ranshu doesn't know how much of a role Kisame will play in the near future.

In fact, everyone Ranshu has met these past few days—Suzaku, Mei Terumi, and Kisame—will play an important role in the upcoming events!

On the other hand, Luanxiu's trip south yielded new results...

A gray-haired man wearing a thin red shirt and wooden clogs saw Luanxiu running from a distance!

"Oh?"

The man was currently recording the information he had just gathered on a scroll, but clearly...

Currently, chaotic displays are attracting his attention more.

Ran Xiu was consuming his chakra recklessly, using almost all of it to travel.

Upon seeing the Konoha headband that Ran Shu was wearing around his waist, the man exclaimed in surprise again:

"A Konoha ninja?"

"I don't know why... but I always feel like this guy is somewhat connected to Minato... Is it because they look alike?"

"And what's this guy rushing off to?"

The man stroked his chin thoughtfully.

Finally, the man decided to go up and make contact with them in person.

"Never mind, I'll ask him."

"They're rushing so hard, there might really be something important going on!"

"Perhaps I can offer him a little... small help!"
