Ninja World: I, Kisame Hoshigaki, am no longer human!

Half a month passed in this peaceful and happy life without me even realizing it.

In recent days, the Snow Woman's complexion has become noticeably rosier, and her body has regained its fullness.

Kisame also temporarily bid farewell to his identity as a ninja, working hard every day and becoming an ordinary househusband.

one night.

"I'm going back to Kirigakure."

Kisame lay on the bed, looking at the Yuki-onna in his arms, and suddenly said to her.

Upon hearing this, the Snow Woman trembled, not expecting to be separated from the man so soon. But she quickly put on a smile and continued to silently support him as always.

"Let me introduce you to someone."

As Kisame said this, he patted his chest and, to the surprise of Yuki-onna, woke up Yoru-kura, who was sleeping in the Box of Elysium.

"Kisame-san, she is..."

The Snow Woman looked at Ye Cang curiously and asked in a low voice.

"She is Yagura, the Scorching Release user from Sunagakure. We were enemies on the battlefield and also cellmates in prison. I thought she was pretty, so I couldn't bring myself to kill her."

Kisame introduced Yogura to Yuki-onna in a joking tone.

He really wasn't interested in Yekura.

In fact, ever since he devoured the Box of Elysium, Kisame has found that his desire for women has been decreasing, and the same goes for Yuki-onna.

This may mean that he is about to transform into a "non-human".

"You must be Yuki-onna. I've heard Kisame mention you before. You are indeed a gentle and beautiful woman. Did you know that once, in order to retrieve the amulet you gave him, he beat up more than a thousand prisoners and guards in the prison, almost turning the entire Hozuki Castle upside down?"

With a smile and a touch of emotion, Ye Cang began to recount what had happened in prison.

"Oh, really?"

Upon hearing this, Yuki-onna was taken aback and instinctively looked at Kisame. The latter simply smiled, shrugged, and pulled her into his arms.

The Snow Woman blushed instantly.

Actually, when she first saw Yekura, she thought he was Kisame's new love, and she couldn't help but feel sad and disappointed.

But now, the Snow Woman is filled with deep emotion.

At that moment, she felt like the happiest woman in the world.

"Yakura, you can stay here for now and keep the snow woman company. I'll let you know if I have any news."

Kisame thought for a moment and then gave instructions to Yekura.

After all, it's not good to keep Yekura sleeping in the Box of Bliss. It's better to let her stay here to keep the Snow Woman company and protect the safety of the Snow Woman and her child.

"Okay, I understand." Ye Cang nodded and readily agreed.

In this way, Kisame can return to Kirigakure without worry.

Early the next morning.

Yuki-onna and Yotsuya escorted Kisame to the door, watching his retreating figure disappear into the distance.

On the road.

Kisame pondered how he would explain things to his superior, Fuguki, after returning to Kirigakure.

His original mission was to infiltrate Hozuki Castle and kill Yoko, but now he's returned empty-handed and needs to come up with an excuse to get away with it.

Two days later, Kisame returned to Kirigakure.

Upon returning to the village, he felt the pervasive atmosphere of fervent war. Many people were shouting in the streets that they wanted to immediately attack the Land of Fire and march all the way into Konoha's homeland.

After all, the Land of Fire occupies the best piece of land in the ninja world, with extremely superior geographical conditions, which has always been coveted by other countries.

With Konoha currently engaged in battles with Iwagakure and Kumogakure simultaneously, leaving its homeland vulnerable, this presents a perfect opportunity for Kirigakure to launch a large-scale invasion.

However, what's puzzling is that the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi, hasn't made any moves.

"Hey, isn't that guy in the suit... Kisame Hoshigaki?"

"Mad Dog Kisame? Wasn't he sent to Hozuki Castle prison as a prisoner? How come he's back?"

On the street, people quickly noticed Kisame, their faces filled with surprise and doubt.

When they came to their senses, Kisame had already disappeared and quietly arrived at the Anbu base.

Half an hour later.

In a secret room, Kisame met his long-lost superior—Suigazaki Fuguki.

"Kisame Hoshigaki, what's going on?"

The pufferfish demon sat in a chair, holding Samehada in his right hand, his brows furrowed, and asked Kisame in a deep voice.

If Kisame's answer doesn't satisfy him, Samehada will slice off his head on the spot, turning him into a headless corpse.

At first.

The pufferfish demon felt that Kisame Hoshigaki was a very unlucky subordinate, so he found an excuse to send the latter to infiltrate Hozuki Castle, which was actually equivalent to a life exile.

Unexpectedly, Kisame defeated the ANBU ninja escorting him as soon as he left Kirigakure and escaped.

Upon receiving the news, Fuguki was furious and immediately declared Kisame a rogue ninja, issuing an arrest warrant. However, not long after, news came from Hozuki Castle that Kisame had arrived at the prison ahead of schedule and was already serving his sentence.

After this blunder, the pufferfish demon had no choice but to awkwardly cancel the arrest warrant for Kisame.

Half a year passed like this. There had been no movement from the prison, but then Kisame suddenly reappeared and returned to Kirigakure.

Faced with the pufferfish demon's questioning.

"Reporting to you, sir, I have discovered a shocking secret."

Kisame, with great seriousness and superb acting skills, recounted the events that occurred in Hozuki Castle prison to Fuguki in a mix of truth and fiction.

"After entering the prison, I quickly located my target—Yakura, the Scorching Release user—and figured out her daily routine, preparing to strike when the opportunity arose. But on the very night I planned to make my move against Yakura, she was kidnapped by the city lord, Muwei, and taken to a mysterious underground laboratory..."

There, Pakura's chakra was drained, and she was sacrificed to a strange door. I later learned that the door was actually a priceless treasure passed down from the ancient Kusagakure village, called the Box of Bliss…

Later, Hanzo, the leader of Amegakure, somehow heard the news and, taking advantage of the chaos in Kusagakure, led a large-scale invasion of Hozuki Castle, resulting in a fierce battle with Mui and his men. That night, many prisoners died, and I barely managed to escape in the chaos, desperately bringing this information back to Kirigakure…”

Kisame's story is brilliant, rich in detail, and as vivid as a novel. Moreover, it has no logical flaws, making it hard to doubt.

The words "Box of Paradise" and "Hanzo" in particular caused the pufferfish demon's pupils to shrink sharply, and he was momentarily stunned and lost in thought.

Fuguki was skeptical of Kisame's words.

But then I thought, if Kisame was lying, why would he have gone all the way back to Kirigakure? Wouldn't it have been better for him to just hide somewhere and live a carefree life?

After all, once Kisame's lies are exposed, he will only face death.

Could it be...?

Is Kisame Hoshigaki truly a ninja who is extremely loyal to the village and willing to give everything, even his own life, to complete a mission?

Thinking of this, the pufferfish released Samehada from its grasp, and its gaze towards Kisame softened considerably.

"Regarding the matter you reported, I will send someone to conduct a further investigation. You should return to the Dark Division and resume your duties. In the meantime, learn from the senior members of the Dark Division and familiarize yourself with the department's affairs."

He thought for a moment and then gave the order to Kisame.

In the eyes of the pufferfish demon, although Kisame was an unlucky guy, he was still quite strong and loyal to the village.

It's wartime now, and he's short-handed, so someone like Kisame would definitely be useful.

"Yes, my lord."

Kisame bowed to Fuguki and then followed another ANBU member out of the room.

"As an ANBU ninja, how can you parade around in clothes like this? Come with me."

The ANBU member glanced at Kisame's suit and was very displeased. He led him to get a set of ANBU combat uniform and mask and ordered Kisame to change into them.

Kisame obtained a shark mask, and his code name in the Dark Organization was "Shark".

He glanced at the secret chamber where the pufferfish demon resided.

He didn't choose to kill the pufferfish demon and steal Samehada directly in the room just now because he was waiting for a better opportunity.

Kisame was waiting for Madara Uchiha to make a move.

He realized that he might be able to use a strategy of using one enemy to defeat the other, causing the pufferfish demon and the clown to fight each other, while he could simply sit back and reap the benefits.

A sinister plan gradually took shape in Kisame's mind.

118. Drive away the tiger to devour the wolf

Kisame has been back in Kirigakure for some time now.

After successfully overcoming the pufferfish demon, he lay low as an ANBU member for some time, gathering information about the village's current situation.

Kisame's two former teammates, Mei Terumi and Ringo Ameyuri, have both been promoted to Chunin. However, he only observes them from the shadows and does not reveal his identity to them.

After all, Kisame's next move is going to be very dangerous, and there's no need to involve them.

Compared to Mei Terumi and Yuri Amami, Kisame actually cares more about someone else.

Hozuki Full Moon.

Since returning to the village, he has not found any trace of Hozuki Mangetsu, and the monster cells have not detected anything. It's as if that guy has vanished into thin air.

Kisame sensed something was amiss.

So he began his search in the mountains and forests surrounding Kirigakure.

Three months have passed in the blink of an eye.

The Third Shinobi World War had now entered its most intense phase.

In the early stages of the war, the once ambitious Kumogakure (Hidden Cloud Village) of the Land of Lightning launched a massive southward offensive, simultaneously attacking Sunagakure, Iwagakure, and Konoha, seemingly poised to flatten the entire ninja world.

However, as it turns out, Cloud Shadow Village overestimated itself.

The Cloud Village army suffered a setback on the Sunagakure battlefield, being repelled by the Fourth Kazekage Rasa using Magnet Release, marking the failure of this invasion war.
