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

However, in her rage, Yekura seemed to have no intention of stopping. The phoenix she had transformed into circled in the air, then aimed at Hozuki Mangetsu once more and swooped down.

"Oh my god, someone's been murdered!"

Hozuki Mangetsu rushed towards the stands, water leaking from his body as he ran, shouting, "Boss, save me!"

Is this guy so scared he peed his pants?

Kisame couldn't help but chuckle at Hozuki Mangetsu's disheveled state. However, he really should have intervened; otherwise, that guy might have been burned alive by the Phoenix.

call out!

A red torii gate descended from the sky, intercepting the burning phoenix, causing it to let out a mournful cry and flutter its wings as it fell to the ground.

As the flames subsided, Yekura lay on the ground, transformed back into a human, except that all her clothes had been burned away.

Turn your head away, don't look.

Kisame tapped Hozuki Mangetsu once, then leaped to Yotsuki's side, took off his oversized suit jacket, and draped it over Yotsuki's shoulders.

213. Yu Yuli, who is seriously ill

Inside the training ground, this battle between ice and fire ended with Yekura crushing Hozuki Mangetsu.

However, when Yekura returned to human form from her phoenix form, she seemed to suffer a backlash from the cursed seal's power, collapsing to the ground. Furthermore, most of her clothes were burned away by her own flames.

Upon seeing this, Kisame took off his suit jacket, wrapped it around her body, and lifted her up in his arms.

Whoosh.

He carried Ye Cang and used the Instantaneous Movement Technique to leave the training ground, returning to her residence shortly afterward.

Inside the room, Yekura was fine after a short rest.

"I'm sorry, I... I think I lost my mind just now."

She spoke in a low voice, not daring to look Kisame in the eye, clearly dissatisfied with her performance in actual combat.

Actually, she hadn't experienced this situation when she practiced alone before, but when she fought Hozuki Mangetsu, she was provoked by him, and coupled with the influence of the cursed seal, she lost her usual composure.

"Don't blame yourself. The essence of the cursed seal is natural energy. It will cause people to go berserk. This is an expected side effect. I believe you will overcome it. After all, you are the Scorching Release: Yōkura, a strong person recognized by me, Kisame Hoshigaki."

Kisame smiled and offered some words of comfort and encouragement to Yekura.

In fact, Pakura's combat strength was even higher than Kisame had anticipated. Currently, within Kirigakure, besides Kisame himself and Tsunade, Pakura could be considered the third strongest, even surpassing Orochimaru.

"Yes, I will try my best..."

Encouraged by Kisame, Yekura responded softly, feeling a warmth in her heart.

"You get some rest, I'm leaving now."

Kisame could tell she was tired, so after saying that, he turned and left.

Just as Kisame stepped out of Yekura's house, he stopped and said to the air with a half-smile:

"Why did you follow me again? Is there something else?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a figure rushed out from the side, grabbed Kisame's leg, and began to wail.

"Boss, that woman beat me up horribly. If word gets out, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep my job as the leader of the secret service. Waaah..."

Hozuki Mangetsu wailed loudly, making Kisame's ears hurt.

"Shut up."

Kisame frowned and said somewhat impatiently, naturally releasing a murderous aura that frightened Hozuki Mangetsu into a sudden silence.

"The reason you lost to her is because she has a magical curse mark that I planted in her body."

Kisame looked down at the trembling Hozuki Mangetsu, considered for a moment, and continued, "Considering that you are a competent captain of the Dark Guard, I will also bestow this cursed seal upon you."

"Really? That's great!" Hozuki Mangetsu's eyes widened in surprise, and he jumped up excitedly.

"Let's go, let's find a place to complete the ritual." Kisame picked up the guy and walked into the alley next door, where Hozuki Mangetsu's painful howls and screams soon came from, and it took a long time for them to stop.

As evening fell, Kisame returned home.

Upon entering, I saw Kimimaro, Haku, Fu, and the newly arrived Temari and Kankuro siblings, who seemed to be quite familiar with each other and were chasing and playing around in the living room.

Karura and Natsumi, both pregnant women, sat on the sofa watching their children play, occasionally revealing a knowing smile.

In the kitchen, Mikiko and Sara were helping Yuki-onna prepare dinner. The three of them chatted and laughed as they worked, getting along very well.

"Lord Kisame is back."

Karura and Natsumi instinctively stood up to greet Kisame when they saw him. Kisame nodded to them and made a downward gesture, indicating that they should sit back down on the sofa.

Then he went into the kitchen, greeted the three women inside, and then put on an apron to help cook.

Soon, everyone enjoyed a sumptuous dinner.

"Sister Yuki-onna, let me wash the dishes and tidy up. You've been busy all day, go and get some rest."

After the meal, Sarah offered to wash the pots and pans and clean the house, seemingly having forgotten her former identity as the Queen of Loulan.

"Sarah, let me help you," Mikiko said with a smile, already starting to clear the table of dishes.

Yuki-onna still felt something was amiss, that the guests shouldn't be doing these things, but Kisame put his arm around her shoulder and said, "Sara is right, you should get some rest. Come on, let's take a hot bath together, and I'll give you a good massage to relax."

After saying that, Kisame, under the watchful eyes of all the women in the room, took the blushing Yuki-onna into the bathroom.

Sarah watched the two figures disappear into the bathroom, and after realizing what had happened, a blush crept onto the girl's face.

The other women, who were already married, exchanged glances and smiled knowingly.

Silent all night.

After a long and arduous journey, Kisame returned to Kirigakure and finally settled into a peaceful and happy life.

Keep a low profile and bide your time.

These four words encapsulate Kisame's strategy for the next few years.

Now, his true form—the Kun—slumbers at the bottom of the Wet Bone Forest, absorbing the enormous energy he has plundered from all directions, growing and transforming at an astonishing rate every day.

His clone, on the other hand, was stationed in Kirigakure, fulfilling his duties as Mizukage while also enjoying the pleasures of an ordinary life.

In the height of summer, the weather is hot and dry.

As evening fell, Kisame, wearing only shorts, lay on a chair in the shade of a large tree in the courtyard, enjoying the cool evening air. He snapped his fingers, and many rainbow-colored bubbles of varying sizes appeared out of thin air in front of him, looking quite beautiful.

"Eeya, eeya."

Several toddlers, around one or two years old, were chasing after the bubbles, running around and having a great time.

At this moment, Yuki-onna came out of the house, carrying two drinks and some sliced ​​watermelon, and placed them on the small table next to Kisame.

She wore a loose white shirt, but it still couldn't hide her voluptuous figure. Since Kisame returned, Yuki-onna's complexion had been getting better and better, and her fair face often radiated a rosy glow.

Kisame's heart skipped a beat, and amidst Yuki-onna's exclamation of "Oh dear!", he pulled her close and embraced her.

"Kisame-san..."

The snow woman blushed, but did not resist. Instead, she quietly leaned against Kisame's chest, enjoying this sweet moment together.

Feeling the softness in his arms, Kisame gazed leisurely into the distance.

As dusk fell, the setting sun was about to disappear below the horizon, and a brilliant sunset painted the entire sky. A gentle evening breeze rustled the leaves and brought a refreshing coolness to the air.

Everything seemed so peaceful and beautiful.

Looking back two or three years ago, Kisame was just an unknown Kirigakure genin, living in a dilapidated wooden house by the river outside the village, carrying out extremely dangerous missions time and time again, without any trustworthy companions or friends, and not knowing when he would die.

In the blink of an eye, he had become the Mizukage, unified the Land of Water, and gained a large number of loyal subordinates and trustworthy friends.

And there's a gentle and beautiful woman like Yuki-onna by my side.

I wish I could have this kind of life forever.

Kisame withdrew his gaze and vowed in his heart that he would not let anyone ruin everything, whether it was Nagato, Obito, Madara Uchiha, Mount Myōboku and Ryūchi Cave, or the Ōtsutsuki clan... no matter who it was.

"Kisame-san, what are you thinking about?"

The snow woman wrapped her arms around Kisame's neck, her sky-blue eyes fixed on him, and asked curiously.

"It's nothing. I was just thinking that it's getting late and I should do my evening exercise."

Kisame smiled slightly, and as soon as he finished speaking, he stood up with Yuki-onna in his arms and walked towards the bedroom.

the next morning.

Several women went out shopping together, so Kisame stayed home to take care of the children and the little devils.

Just then, Ye Cang, whom they hadn't seen for several days, suddenly showed up at their door.

"What's wrong?" Kisame asked, as he was holding Temari in one arm and playing with a toy in the other.

"I don't know if I should bother you with this. Ringo Ameyuri, do you remember this ninja?"

Yecang hesitated for a moment before saying a name.

Oh?

Upon hearing this, Kisame immediately pictured a girl with long, reddish-brown hair tied in a vertical braid, small, sharp teeth, and a face like a small apple.

"Of course I remember her, she was my teammate back in my genin days. What happened to Yuri Amegawa?" Kisame's tone and expression became serious.

"She's sick and has been hospitalized for some time, but her condition hasn't improved. Even Lady Tsunade seems helpless. Yuri probably doesn't have much time left. Would you... like to go see her?"

Yekura reported on Yuri's condition, which, in short, was very worrying.

Kisame also learned from her that Mei Terumi, as Yuri's good friend, had also rushed back to Kirigakure from the capital early this morning and was currently by Yuri's bedside.

"I understand, I'll be right there."

As Kisame spoke, he walked up to Yekura and handed her the temari he was holding. "Before I get back, I'll leave these little ones at home in your care. If any of them misbehave, just discipline them. These kids are quite naughty."

"Yes."

Yekura took Temari, and was met with the curious gaze of her innocent, large eyes, leaving her momentarily at a loss. Then, Kimimaro and Shiro each grabbed one of her legs, further disorienting her and making her appear extremely flustered.

Kisame smiled knowingly upon seeing this, then turned and left.
