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

Swish!

The Kun soared upwards, breaking through the thick clouds, and finally reached the stratosphere, tens of kilometers above the ground. At this altitude, mortals on the ground could not detect its existence, thus avoiding causing a sensational commotion.

A full moon hangs high in the sky, its bright light shining down and illuminating the rolling sea of ​​clouds, creating a magnificent and beautiful scene.

Above the sea of ​​clouds, the Kun soars freely.

It flapped its wings again, stirring up a strong wind that parted the sea of ​​clouds, and its enormous body soared through the sky, flying towards the southwest.

One day later.

The Land of Water, the Hidden Mist Village.

Kisame, along with Mikiko and her daughter, descended from the sky and returned home.

In the courtyard, two toddlers, each a little over a year old, were playing and frolicking, making babbling sounds. It was Kimimaro chasing Haku, circling the courtyard several times, until finally the two little devils tumbled to the ground in a hug.

"Waaah..." Bai sat on the ground and started crying, looking pitiful.

Kimimaro stood to the side, snot dripping down his face, grinning foolishly. Although he was still young, the bloodline limit of the Kaguya clan's Shikotsumyaku had already made his body very strong, and he was no problem falling down once or twice.

"Those two guys are really a headache."

Not far away, the Snow Woman, who was knitting a sweater, saw this scene, sighed, and looked quite helpless.

"Hehe, just thinking about having a little one like this in my belly is really giving me a headache." Next to Yuki-onna, Natsumi touched her lower abdomen and said with a mix of worry and anticipation.

The two women smiled at each other.

Over the past two days, Natsume and Yuki-onna, who live under the same roof, have gotten to know each other.

The two women shared similar fates; both had lost their husbands and, with Kisame's help, arrived in Kirigakure. Furthermore, because they shared the common topic of having children, they got along very well and became good friends.

Seeing that Bai was crying incessantly, Xue Nu had no choice but to put down the sweater she was knitting, stand up, and walk towards her son.

But at that moment, Bai suddenly stopped crying, her big eyes staring unblinkingly at the sky.

Huh?

Following Haku's gaze, the Snow Woman was pleasantly surprised to find that Kisame had returned.

However, along with the surprise came doubt.

This time, Kisame brought back a green-haired woman, who was holding a baby in her arms.

This familiar scene made both Yuki-onna and Natsumi's expressions turn somewhat strange.

Kisame landed on the ground, released the hand that was holding Mikiko, then bent down, stretched out his two arms, and picked up Haku and Kimimaro on either side.

"Are they all your children? This is... Kirigakure?"

Mikiko asked softly, glancing curiously at Yuki-onna and Shiro. What was their relationship with this man?

Upon hearing this, Kisame smiled and shook his head, then said to Mikiko:

"Let the Snow Woman answer these questions for you, and you can also get to know each other while you're at it."

After saying that, he gestured for the Snow Woman to come over, handed the two children to her, and gave her a few brief instructions.

As soon as he finished speaking, Kisame's clone turned into white smoke with a "pop," automatically dissipating due to the depletion of chakra.

"Go play somewhere else."

Yuki-onna handed Kimimaro and Haku a lollipop each, shooing away the two clingy little ones, and then warmly welcomed Mikiko.

Summer also came over, greeted Mikiko, and joined the conversation.

"That's my experience."

Under the curious gazes of the two women, Mikiko nervously recounted her ordeal and said that if her presence here was disturbing them, she would quickly move out with her child and find another place to live.

"Pfft."

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Yuki-onna and Natsumi exchanged a glance and couldn't help but laugh.

"What...are you laughing at? Did I say something wrong?" Mikiko suddenly became even more flustered.

"Don't be nervous, Mikiko. I just suddenly realized that Mr. Kisame really is the savior of us widows."

The snow woman placed her hand on Mikiko's shoulder and said with a smile.

"Yes, it's quite a coincidence."

Summer also explained with a smile, "Sister Yuki-onna, and me, we are actually the same as you. After our husbands passed away, we received help from Lord Kisame and came to Kirigakure."

From their words, Mikiko was surprised to learn that their experiences were remarkably similar to her own.

"Wait. You just said his name is... Kisame?"

Mikiko suddenly realized this, and given that this was Kirigakure, the man's identity became obvious.

Kisame Hoshigaki!

After learning the man's true identity, Mikiko was deeply disturbed and it took her a long time to recover.

Just then, a figure pushed open the courtyard gate and rushed in hurriedly.

"Where's Kisame? Someone saw him come back. I need to talk to him, get him out here!"

Tsunade had a loud voice. As soon as she entered the courtyard, she looked around, but she couldn't even see Kisame. Instead, she saw Mikiko, a stranger.

Tsunade frowned, her gaze sweeping over Fu in Mikiko's arms, then at Natsumi and Yuki-onna beside her. They were both beautiful, and widows with children.

What on earth is Kisame Hoshigaki up to?

So he had this kind of fetish? That's really perverted.

Mikiko was startled by Tsunade's sharp gaze and dared not meet her eyes. So, she lowered her head and whispered to the snow woman beside her:

"Is this woman also a widow brought back by Lord Kisame? She seems a bit difficult to get along with. What should I call her?"

"Uh..." Upon hearing this, the Snow Woman was stunned for a moment, unsure of how to respond.

As far as she knew, Tsunade did indeed have a lover named Dan Kato, who died on the battlefield years ago. Moreover, Tsunade was indeed brought back to Kirigakure by Kisame.

However, strictly speaking, Tsunade had just begun a romantic relationship with Dan Kato and was far from getting married, so she shouldn't be considered a widow.

Although Mikiko's voice was very soft, Tsunade still heard it.

"What did you say? I'm...a widow?"

She immediately flew into a rage and strode towards Mikiko.

Seeing this, Yuki-onna quickly stepped in front of Mikiko and pleaded with Tsunade, "Lady Tsunade, this is a misunderstanding. Mikiko didn't mean to say that..."

Mikiko realized she had said the wrong thing and quickly bowed to Tsunade to apologize.

"Humph."

Tsunade gave a soft snort, and that was that. She couldn't possibly make things difficult for a poor widow with a child.

When she learned that Kisame had only returned as a shadow clone and that it had already disappeared, she stopped arguing, turned around, and hurriedly walked out of the courtyard.

As the head of the medical department, she has a lot to do.

"call."

After Tsunade left, the three women in the courtyard all breathed a sigh of relief.

"Lady Tsunade is truly an amazing female ninja; her aura is so powerful. I wonder what kind of man is worthy of her."

Mikiko watched Tsunade's departing figure with these thoughts.

"Perhaps, in the entire ninja world, only Kisame-sama can remain calm and composed in front of Tsunade, chatting and laughing as he pleases," Natsumi guessed from the side.

Upon hearing this, the Snow Woman covered her mouth and chuckled, then took Mikiko's hand and said to her:

"There's a spare room upstairs. Let me show you. You can stay here comfortably from now on. Let's call each other sisters, so please don't be shy."

"Thank you, Yuki-onna-neechan." Mikiko felt a warmth in her heart, and tears welled up in her eyes.

"However, if Mr. Kisame brings another widow back, we might not have enough rooms here."

The snow woman then jokingly said something that made Natsume and Mikiko both smile knowingly.

at the same time.

Thousands of kilometers away, deep in the desert of the Land of Wind.

The Land of Wind is the largest of the five great nations in terms of land area, but deserts and Gobi deserts cover more than 90% of its territory, and its natural resources are less than one-tenth of those of the Land of Fire.

In the vast desert, only a few oases are suitable for human habitation, including Sunagakure, one of the top five ninja villages.

Six months ago, Sunagakure was destroyed by Nagato single-handedly, completely erased from the map of the ninja world, and became history.

Only a very small number of Sunagakure villagers survived that catastrophe and eke out a living in some corner of the world.

The ancient kingdom of Loulan, which Kisame was searching for, was a small country with a small population located deep in the desert west of the Land of Wind, and had virtually no presence in the world.

However, according to the intelligence he obtained and his memory of the original plot, the ancient kingdom of Loulan was destroyed by war a few years ago and is now in ruins.

Beneath those ruins lies a sealed dragon vein, which is Kisame's target for this journey.

This is the history:

Beneath the ancient kingdom of Loulan lies a vast energy known as the Dragon Vein. The queens of this kingdom throughout history possessed the ability to manipulate the Dragon Vein.

Several years ago, a traitorous ninja named Centipede came to Loulan and persuaded the then-queen to break the seal on the dragon vein, using its power to develop and expand Loulan.

However, after some time, the queen saw through Centipede's ambition and stopped assisting him, resulting in her being killed by Centipede.

At this time, Konoha Village received this information.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Third Hokage at the time, ordered Minato Namikaze to lead a four-person team consisting of Choza Akimichi, Shiki Aburame, and Kakashi. After infiltrating the ancient kingdom of Loulan, they engaged in a fierce battle with the puppet army controlled by Centipede.

Finally, Minato Namikaze successfully defeated the Centipede and sealed the Dragon Vein once again before returning to Konoha.

Unfortunately, the people of the ancient Loulan Kingdom were unable to return to a peaceful and happy life because the kingdom had attracted the attention of the Wind Kingdom.

So, shortly after Minato Namikaze and the others left, the Land of Wind launched a war and destroyed the small country in one fell swoop, turning it into complete ruins.

The endless desert is like a vast yellow sea that stretches to the horizon, with countless sand dunes rising and falling in jagged shapes.

A gust of wind swept across the land, pushing waves of sand forward like an invisible hand peeling away layer after layer of desert.

Above the vast sea of ​​sand, clouds covered most of the sky and moved slowly, casting huge shadows on the undulating sand dunes.

Suddenly.
