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

Tsunade pondered for a moment, then a slight smile suddenly appeared on her lips…

216. The Nine-Tailed Fox's Chaos

What are you talking about?

Just as Kisame and Katsuyu were discussing the Jinchuriki selection, Tsunade suddenly walked out, crossed her arms, looked at the two of them, and asked with a half-smile.

"You're awake?" Kisame's gaze sharpened. Tsunade had woken up much faster than he had expected.

"Thank you for your Hero's Water. I feel great now, like I'm twenty again."

Tsunade walked over, patted Kisame on the shoulder, and unusually put her arm around his neck before leaning against him as if Kisame were her best friend.

"Now that you have absorbed the Hero's Water, it's about time you went back."

Kisame noticed that Tsunade was acting strangely, so he said something without making a sound, bid farewell to the slug, and turned to leave.

"Wait, you still haven't told me what you and the slug were talking about. It sounded like... something about Jinchūriki? And you even mentioned my name, did I hear you correctly?"

Tsunade persisted, even though she already knew, her burning gaze still fixed on Kisame and Katsuyu, determined to force them to tell her themselves.

She was a little angry.

Kisame and Katsuyu had clearly been discussing this for a long time, but they had never mentioned it to her, making her feel like an outsider.

"Lady Tsunade, um..."

Under Tsunade's watchful gaze, the slug appeared flustered and frightened, about to reveal the entire "Jinchūriki Plan"—

Swish.

Kisame pulled Tsunade over and said to the slug, "Tsunade and I have something to do, so we'll be leaving now."

As soon as he finished speaking, he ignored Tsunade's struggles and forcibly dragged her away from the Shikkotsu Forest.

After returning to Mist Shadow.

"Let me go, you bastard!"

Tsunade finally broke free from Kisame's grasp, rubbing her reddened wrist as she glared at him angrily.

"Alright, you can leave now. By the way, since my main body 'Kun' is at a critical moment of evolution and cannot be disturbed, I have already told the Living Slug that the Wet Bone Forest will be closed for a period of time. During this period, you cannot go there."

Kisame waved his hand at Tsunade, looking like he couldn't wait to get rid of her.

Unexpectedly, Tsunade's rebellious streak kicked in.

"You think I'll just leave because you tell me to? I'm not leaving today, hmph!" Tsunade stood rooted to the spot, determined to stand up to Kisame.

"You changed your mind so quickly? Can't you tell I'm deliberately trying to provoke you? You're too easy to fool."

Kisame resumed his usual banter with Tsunade, but halfway through his sentence, he suddenly paused, then muttered to himself, "Could it be true, as Team 7 said, that this woman stayed behind and even became the Sixth Mizukage?"

"What are you muttering about? Team 7, the Sixth Mizukage?"

Tsunade's ears twitched as she heard Kisame talking to himself. She immediately frowned and pressed him for an answer, wanting to know what kind of mystery he was up to now.

"Yes, you heard me right. If you decide to stay in Kirigakure, I will make you the Sixth Mizukage."

Kisame suddenly looked directly at Tsunade and said something meaningful to her.

Upon hearing this, Tsunade gave a disdainful sneer:

"Do you think I'd believe that? Besides, I don't care about the title of Mizukage. And if you give me the position, what will you do there?"

"Me? I was already dead by then, probably within the last year or two."

Kisame chuckled, then uttered something startling.

"What...are you saying?" Tsunade asked in astonishment.

She believed that no one in the world wanted to kill Kisame more than she did, but Tsunade also knew that Kisame's vitality and power had long been incredibly strong, even surpassing her grandfather Hashirama Senju.

She couldn't imagine who or what force in the entire ninja world could kill Kisame.

Just then, Tsunade's pupils suddenly contracted, because she remembered the prophecy she had heard from Mount Myōboku in the Konoha meeting room more than a year ago.

The Great Toad Sage once said that he saw Kisame Hoshigaki's future in his dream—this man would one day fall into a dead end and eventually commit suicide.

"Could the prophecy be true?" Tsunade murmured to herself.

"What prophecy?"

This time it was Kisame's turn to be surprised, and he asked with a look of astonishment.

"Why did you say you would die?" Tsunade didn't answer Kisame's question, but stared at him and asked him in return.

"A group of ninjas from the future told me this. The details are rather complicated, so I won't go into them. What, so you already knew I was going to die?"

Kisame narrowed his eyes slightly. Seeing that Tsunade's gaze was somewhat evasive, he pondered for a moment and then speculated, "The prophecy you mentioned should be related to that old toad on Mount Myōboku, right?"

"How did you know?" Tsunade's expression changed.

"Sigh, when those future ninjas told me I was going to die, I didn't quite believe it. Now it seems I'm doomed."

Kisame sighed, but judging from his expression, he didn't seem worried at all.

"You seem quite calm." Tsunade was even more surprised and suspicious of Kisame's reaction, wondering what he was thinking.

"I look forward to that day."

Kisame smiled slightly, left those words behind, and turned to leave with a rather nonchalant air.

"Where are you going?" Tsunade caught up and asked.

"According to the intelligence I have, a major upheaval is about to occur in Konoha Village, and I'm naturally going to go and watch the excitement."

Kisame said mysteriously, but when Tsunade asked him what the great upheaval was, he remained tight-lipped and refused to say a word.

"I want to go with you."

Tsunade, unable to suppress her curiosity, offered to travel with Kisame.

“Okay, but I need to call one more person. It’ll be a trio this time.” Kisame nodded and looked in the direction of the Science Department building.

"Who?"

"The Snake Princess".

……

A few days later.

October 10th, Konoha 48th year.

This day marked the birth of Namikaze Minato's wife, Uzumaki Kushina, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, who gave birth to the prophesied son, Uzumaki Naruto.

In the original timeline, on the same day, Obito Uchiha took advantage of Kushina's weakened state during childbirth to infiltrate Konoha, steal the Nine-Tails, and use his Sharingan to control the Nine-Tails to wreak havoc within the village.

This event is historically known as the Nine-Tailed Fox's Rebellion.

Because Kisame had a significant impact on the history of the ninja world, he was unsure whether Obito would cause trouble like in the original story and attack Konoha.

However, that night, it turned out that Obito was not idle after all, and just like in the original story, he took revenge on Konoha.

Under the bright moonlight, a giant fox demon was wreaking havoc in Konoha Village, causing terrible destruction.

"That's... the Nine-Tails?!"

On the hillside outside the village, Tsunade saw this scene. At first, she was shocked, then she turned to look at Kisame beside her, frowning and silently questioning him with her eyes.

"Don't look at me like that, it wasn't me. Don't forget, I signed a peace treaty with Konoha, and there's still a statue of me on the Hokage Rock."

Kisame shrugged helplessly and, without keeping anyone in suspense, directly stated a name, "According to the information I have, it's Uchiha Obito."

“Obito? He’s really persistent. He’s always hated Konoha and enjoys creating death and chaos.”

The snake princess beside Kisame sighed softly.

"Let's go, let's get closer and take a look." After saying this, Kisame took the lead and walked towards Konoha Village.

On the street, Tsunade and Hebihime walked on either side of Kisame, the three of them side by side.

They were all wearing large cloaks and hoods that covered their faces, making them look very suspicious. Under normal circumstances, Konoha ninjas would have come up to question them long ago.

However, the ninjas of Konoha are obviously too busy right now.

Everywhere you looked, there were collapsed buildings and flames shooting into the sky. Villagers screamed and fled in all directions, and many others were trapped under the rubble, already lifeless.

This was a huge disaster for Konoha.

In order to deal with the rampaging Nine-Tails, most of the village's elite ninjas rushed to the center of the battlefield. In addition, only a few genin squads were left to search for the wounded in the ruins or to lead the villagers to underground shelters.

call out.

Suddenly, a kunai flew from the front, striking Kisame and his two companions at incredible speed.

Snapped.

Kisame calmly grabbed the kunai in his hand, but he also noticed that a thin steel wire was attached to the end of the kunai, extending all the way to the street corner.

next second.

Whoops!

A blazing flame emerged from the other end of the steel wire and quickly spread along it, like a roaring fire dragon, attacking the three of them once again.

Fire Release: Fire Dragon Technique.

It's a very clever ninjutsu, with decent speed and power, but unfortunately it's meaningless against an enemy like Kisame.

Without Kisame making any move, a wall of water rose up from beneath his feet. This wall of water spun rapidly, not only resisting the fire dragon's erosion but also launching several high-pressure water jets from within, retaliating against the attacker.

boom!

The wall in front of her was blasted down by the water jet, and a petite figure escaped somewhat disheveled. After barely regaining her footing, her gaze sharpened, and she confronted Kisame and his two companions on the street.

She was a girl of about twelve or thirteen years old, with short purple hair and wearing a black fishnet-like inner layer, which was very eye-catching.

Huh?

The moment Kisame and the other two saw the girl's face, their expressions changed, because they all recognized her.

Mitarashi Red Bean.
