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

After all, in this chaotic world, where could the mother and son possibly escape to?

Based on his memories from his previous life, Kisame wandered through the alleys of the town and soon arrived in front of a tall building.

This is the gold exchange in the Land of Water.

28. Codename: Onimon Sametaro

There are five gold exchange shops in the ninja world, each located within the territory of one of the five great nations.

It is an underground black market where countless amounts of dirty money, secret intelligence, and illicit goods circulate.

Of course, when it comes to the most distinctive business of the gold exchange, it is naturally the posting of bounties.

Here, you can offer a bounty for anyone's head, as long as you can afford it, including the daimyo of the five great nations and the five kage.

Because of his striking appearance, Kisame prepared a black cloak in advance to avoid unnecessary trouble, completely covering his face with the hood.

He entered the building, went to the restroom, and then successfully entered the underground gold exchange through a hidden door behind the toilet.

The streets on the ground were empty and deserted, but here the hall was teeming with people. A large number of samurai, ronin, and bounty ninjas crowded the hall, and all sorts of noises mingled together.

If you didn't know better, you'd think you'd wandered into a farmers' market.

Kisame, relying on his memory, easily found his way to the morgue.

Business here is booming; it's packed with people... no, it's overflowing with corpses.

Several bounty hunters were queuing up in front of Kisame. The process involved bringing out the corpse, having the boss verify and register it, then collecting the corpse and distributing the bounty on the spot.

Generally speaking, the price of most corpses ranges from hundreds of thousands to millions of taels of silver.

It's finally Kisame's turn.

He took out a storage scroll, retrieved the bodies of the Iron Duo, and explained their identities to the boss.

"Are they the S-rank rogue ninja from Kumogakure—the Iron Duo brothers?"

The boss was visibly surprised. He stared at the roster for a long time, carefully verifying the identity of the person before taking out a leather suitcase full of banknotes and handing it to Kisame.

Kisame opened the suitcase, counted the banknotes, found the amount was correct, and prepared to turn and leave.

But just then, the boss warmly called him over and said:

"Sir, is this your first time as a bounty hunter? Would you mind leaving your name or code name? I'll register you and issue you a badge, making it much easier for you to exchange gold at the exchange in the future, without having to wait in line."

Kisame glanced at the boss.

He knew that this man, ostensibly the boss, was actually just an ordinary businessman and employee. The real mastermind behind the gold exchange was someone else, and very mysterious.

"Okay. My name is..."

Kisame nodded, thought for a moment, and casually made up a name, "Kimon Sametaro".

After announcing his name, Kisame walked to the rest area and sat down on the sofa with an air of nonchalance.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, Lord Sametaro."

A moment later, the shopkeeper brought over the identification and respectfully handed it to Kisame. Kisame didn't linger; he took the identification, picked up his suitcase, and left.

"Is it him?"

Seeing Kisame's departing figure, the ninjas exchanged furtive glances and followed him.

Clang.

Kisame pushed open the hidden door to the toilet and suddenly felt a surge of urge to urinate.

So he went to the urinal, put his suitcase on the ground, and then turned on the urinal to release the water.

At that moment, two ninjas also came over, and whether by coincidence or not, they stood on either side of Kisame, sandwiching him between them.

Kisame ignored him and continued to urinate, and even after two minutes, the flow was still surging as if it were endless.

The two ninjas had already finished and stood there awkwardly, unsure whether to leave or stay.

Does this guy have such good kidney function?

They couldn't help but glance at Kisame, and their expressions immediately changed. Then, they silently pulled up their pants, turned around, and left with a sense of inferiority.

Kisame finally finished, washed his hands, picked up his suitcase, and walked out feeling refreshed.

"Don't make a move outside the exchange. Follow him for a while longer and find an opportunity to rob the money."

Behind Kisame, the two ninjas and their accomplices whispered amongst themselves.

It seems this isn't the first time they've done something like this.

So, these people followed Kisame from a distance, walked out of the building, and then turned and twisted their way into a small alley.

"Now's the time! Make your move!"

The group rushed into the alley.

Immediately afterwards, several muffled groans and screams were heard, along with weak pleas for mercy.

Kisame emerged unscathed, having not only defeated the group of robbers but also robbed them of a considerable amount of money.

Ten minutes later.

"Let's go." Kisame returned to the inn and urged Yuki-onna and her son to leave.

"Where are we going?" the Snow Woman asked cautiously, tentatively.

"Go to a more peaceful and safer place in this country."

……

Another week has passed.

The three of them arrived at the west coast of the Water Kingdom and entered a bustling seaside town.

This place is an important port city of the Water Kingdom. Every day, a large number of merchant ships depart from the docks to trade with major countries via sea routes.

As such an economic powerhouse, its public security is naturally top-notch, ranking among the best in the entire Water Kingdom.

However, the cost of living here is also very high, and prices are expensive, making it unaffordable for most families.

After Kisame arrived, he spent lavishly, directly spending over 15 million taels to buy a detached villa with a courtyard by the sea.

If one day he stops being a ninja, this will be a good place to retire.

before that.

"You and your child will live here from now on. I'm going to buy some daily necessities."

He gave the Snow Woman some instructions and then went out to shop.

Watching Kisame's departing figure, Yuki-onna felt as if she were dreaming. Only now did she finally believe in his good intentions.

The next few days.

Kisame furnished the villa with some furniture, appliances, and fitness equipment, and also opened a savings account for Yuki-onna, giving her a sufficient amount of living expenses.

It was evening.

A gentle sea breeze blows, and the setting sun casts its rays.

yard.

"Hmph, hmph."

Kisame, shirtless and covered in sweat, completed his daily fitness training.

Yes, I'm much stronger now.

Kisame looked in the mirror, nodded in satisfaction, then pushed open the French windows and entered the room.

As soon as he entered the house, he saw that the Snow Woman had just finished taking a bath and was coming out of the bathroom, gently drying her wet hair with a towel.

Kisame was stunned for a moment.

However, he was stunned not because of the snow woman's beautiful face or voluptuous figure, but because he discovered that her originally black hair had turned white, like snow.

The snow woman noticed Kisame's gaze and blushed.

She quickly explained to him that her long white hair was too eye-catching, and that she had dyed it black to avoid disaster and live in anonymity.

"very beautiful."

Kisame commented truthfully, "With such a beautiful mother, it's no wonder she could give birth to a beautiful boy like Haku who is even more beautiful than a woman."

"Kisame-san, why don't you go take a shower first? I'll go prepare dinner."

The snow woman quickly dried her hair and smiled at Kisame.

"it is good."

Kisame nodded, turned and walked into the bathroom.

A few more days passed in this peaceful manner.

After settling the Yuki-onna and her child in, Kisame prepared to return to Kirigakure.

After all, he had been away from the village for almost a month, and the Chunin Exams were about to begin, so he needed to go back to the assembly point.

Before leaving, he gave the Snow Woman a scroll that could summon sharks, instructing her to contact him if anything happened, and that if she encountered danger, she could escape to the sea by riding the summoned sharks.

"Kisame-san, I don't know how to thank you."

The Snow Woman took the scroll, her gaze as gentle as water.

After spending these days together, she discovered that beneath Kisame's cold and fierce exterior lies a polite, considerate, and warm soul.

"If you really want to thank me, then raise your child well. Someday in the future, I may need him to serve me."

Kisame glanced at the white figure in the cradle.

Haku has a high level of talent and is an extremely rare Ice Release ninja. Once he grows up, as long as he can withstand the modification of monster cells, he can unleash the full potential of his Ice Release bloodline limit.

"It is Haku's honor to fight alongside a man like Kisame."

The Snow Maiden smiled gently, genuinely happy for her son.

Her views have changed.
