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

Ordinary people hate ninjas, especially those who possess bloodline limits.

Years later, when Bai grew up, he accidentally revealed the ability he inherited from his mother.

The Snow Woman's husband, with tears streaming down his face, killed her with his own hands and then tried to kill his own son. Young Haku, in a state of utter despair and rage, unleashed the power of Ice Release, killing his father and all the villagers present.

Then, he fled the snow village and lived the life of a homeless child, fighting with wild dogs for food, until he was discovered by Zabuza Momochi.

This is a tragic story.

Such tragedies occur almost daily in the Land of Water and in other parts of the ninja world.

Kisame decided to rewrite the story.

So he quietly crept up to the vicinity of the Snow Woman's family's residence, hid in the woods, and began to spy on them.

27. The Widow Snow Woman

In a farmhouse courtyard.

A handsome, sunny-looking young man is playing a game of lifting his newborn son high in the air, immersed in the joy of becoming a father for the first time.

Beside them, a beautiful woman with long black hair looked at the father and son with a gentle expression.

Besides happiness, her eyes occasionally flashed with a deep sense of worry and unease.

On that day, Yuki-onna sensed that there were ninjas fighting outside the village. Out of concern, she quietly approached the battle site to find out what was going on.

As a result, she had just arrived near the woods when she witnessed Kisame successively killing the Steel Duo. She was then discovered during her retreat and fled in panic.

After two days of anxious waiting, Kisame indeed came knocking on their door.

Although it was still unclear what the man's true intentions were, the Snow Woman looked at her husband and son before her, her gaze gradually hardening.

She wants to protect this family.

"What a loving family!"

Kisame, hiding behind a large rock in the woods, saw this scene and immediately came up with a plan.

He squatted down and placed his left hand on the snow, revealing the spray tattoo on his arm.

A surge of chakra rapidly approached the courtyard along the snow-covered ground.

More than ten seconds later.

Chi Chi Chi.

The snow beneath the feet of the Snow Woman and her family suddenly melted, evaporating into white steam.

Where the snow melted, a black "explosion" character emerged from the ground and grew brighter and brighter, as if something bad was about to happen.

"what is this?"

The snow woman's husband was startled and quickly backed away with his son in his arms, but it was too late.

boom!

An explosion occurred, and a blinding flash of fire engulfed the father and son.

"careful!"

Just then, the Snow Woman let out a cry of surprise and used her bloodline limit ability almost without thinking.

An ice wall appeared out of thin air in front of the three of them, blocking the explosive attack.

"Snow Woman, you..."

The man was still in shock after being rescued.

He looked at his wife, who had suddenly become a stranger to him, and at the icy aura emanating from her palms. His expression gradually turned into horror and fear.

"It's not what you think, listen to me..."

The Snow Woman's expression changed drastically. In desperation, she grabbed her husband's collar and pleaded with him to explain.

However, the man seemed to have seen a ghost, pushed her away, abandoned his son, and ran away.

"noob……"

The snow woman quickly hugged the child tightly and checked him repeatedly to see if he was injured.

She looked out into the woods and shouted, "What exactly do you want?"

But no one responded.

Ten minutes later.

The Snow Woman's husband returned home, but he was accompanied by villagers from the Snow Village armed with weapons.

In the courtyard, the helpless mother and son were surrounded by villagers with indifferent expressions.

thump.

The Snow Woman, holding her child, knelt before her beloved husband, weeping and pleading with him:

“This child is innocent; he did not inherit my abilities.”

Knowing she was doomed, her only wish before dying was that her child could escape the cursed fate and grow up as an ordinary and happy person.

“This woman is lying! We cannot keep this child; he will surely bring disaster and death to our Snow Village.”

"Yes, both the mother and the child deserve to die."

"Hurry up and do it!"

The villagers looked at the mother and child as if they were monsters, their eyes filled with hatred and fear, while urging the snow woman's husband to make a move.

"Snow Woman, I'm sorry..."

Two streams of hot tears flowed from the man's eyes. His hand trembled as he raised the knife, and then…

With a single slash, it came down.

"No!"

Deep in despair, the Snow Woman let out a scream, and a burst of violent Ice Release chakra erupted from her body.

She is a mother, and she wants to protect her child.

Puff puff puff puff.

Countless ice spikes shot out from the Snow Woman's body, and along with her husband, all the villagers present were killed, falling down like wheat being harvested.

Blood stained the ground of the courtyard, flowing slowly and mingling with the white snow.

Unparalleled in beauty.

The Snow Woman knelt on the ground, holding her child, her whole body trembling uncontrollably, immersed in immense sorrow and pain.

I don't know how much time passed.

Crunch. Crunch.

Kisame emerged from the forest, stepping through the snow, and walked step by step to the Yuki-onna.

"Are you here to kill me too?"

The snow woman raised her head expressionlessly, and an ice spike appeared out of thin air, shooting towards Kisame's face.

Click.

Kisame reached out and grabbed the ice spike, squeezing it hard until it shattered.

"Shall we continue?"

He asked with a smile, expressing his willingness to have a battle with the Snow Woman and experience the power of her Ice Release ninjutsu.

The Snow Goddess's expression shifted several times before she finally said softly with a look of dejection, "Let's do it."

She knew how powerful Kisame was. She also knew that resistance was futile, and that she could not possibly defeat this powerful man.

However, clinging to her last glimmer of hope, she raised Haku with both hands, presented the child to Kisame, and pleaded:

"Please don't kill this child. He must have a bloodline limit. If he's properly nurtured, he can become your helper, or even your tool. Please... let him live."

“I never said I wanted to kill you and your child.”

Kisame took Haku, who was crying incessantly, from Yuki-onna's hands and said to her, "My family, like yours, is a lowly family in Kirigakure, and we are also on the verge of extinction. I, Kisame Hoshigaki, sympathize with you."

"Then why did you do this to me? I just want to live a peaceful life."

The snow woman stared intently at Kisame, then suddenly raised her voice.

The happiness she once had was completely destroyed by this man in one day, and he said it was out of pity.

What's the logic behind this?

"Too naive."

Kisame shook his head. "Even without my intervention, your son's bloodline limit will eventually be exposed when he grows up. At that time, you and your son will still be doomed. After all, you just saw the attitude of your husband and those villagers, didn't you? I'm not trying to harm you, but to save you."

He spoke these words slowly, each one piercing to the heart.

"..."

The Snow Woman was speechless, and only a long silence remained.

One week later.

In the Land of Water, in an ordinary, remote town, three travelers arrived.

The three people were a man and a woman. The man was tall and brave, and the woman was gentle and beautiful. They were holding a newborn baby in their arms, and they looked like a family of three.

They are naturally Kisame and Yuki-onna, mother and son.

After walking through the empty streets, the three of them found a hostel, went in, and asked for a room to stay in.

"Wait here for me a moment, I'll go collect the bounty."

Kisame bought some food, milk powder, and baby diapers, gave the Yuki-onna some instructions, and then left, closing the door behind him.

The snow woman opened the window and watched Kisame's figure walk out of the inn and gradually disappear at the end of the street.

After hesitating for a long time, she finally gave up on running away and decided to stay and wait for him.
