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

After listening to Kisame's story, Tsunade was deeply moved and her lips parted slightly; she even forgot to breathe.

In her view, his plan was undoubtedly crazy, but also great and exciting.

At that moment, she genuinely admired this bastard.

While the ninja world's mortals, including Nagato, Jiraiya, and Obito, were still fighting over resources such as tailed beasts, the Rinnegan, and forbidden techniques, Kisame had already given up on competing with them and instead set his sights beyond Earth, aiming at the sun billions of kilometers away.

He walked far ahead of everyone else.

253. The Kitten and the Tiger

The surface of the moon.

Under Tsunade's watchful gaze, Kisame clasped his hands together and slowly separated another "Kisame" from his body, exactly the same as the original.

This is not a simple shadow clone, but a permanent separation of one's soul and body, a clone technique that will never disappear. No matter how far apart the original and the clone are, they can sense each other and share vision, touch, and memories.

Then, Kisame's true form soared into the sky, rapidly expanding as it reached mid-air, quickly losing its human form and transforming into a Kun that was over 500 meters long.

The Kun, floating in the universe, cast a huge shadow on the moon's surface, causing Tsunade and the descendants of Hamura to look up in awe. Then, it slowly opened its abyss-like maw, emanating a powerful force of spacetime.

buzzing.

A massive black door, over 100 meters in diameter, appeared in the sky above the moon. On the other side of the door was a place millions of kilometers away, far from Earth and the moon, and much closer to the sun.

then.

The Kun let out a loud "whale song," a sound that was ethereal and far-reaching, carrying far into the depths of space. It flapped its enormous wings, swung its long dragon tail, and plunged into the black door, disappearing without a trace.

With Kun's current power, the maximum distance it can travel in a spatial jump is ten million kilometers. It would need to make about ten jumps, and including the time for rest in between, it would take at least a month to reach the vicinity of the sun.

As for what happens after that, using the sun's energy to train and reach Kisame's goal will take even longer.

It may be calculated in years.

Therefore, Kisame separated a part of his soul and body to return to Earth with Tsunade to handle various affairs in the ninja world.

"Alright, let's go back."

After watching the Kun fly towards the sun, Kisame withdrew his gaze and said to Tsunade.

"Hmm." Tsunade nodded, walked to the few Hamura descendants she had controlled with her psychic orbs, gave them the order to stay here and monitor outer space, and then returned to Kisame's side.

As a black portal taller than a person opened, the two entered hand in hand, and in the next instant, they disappeared along with the portal.

Hidden Mist Village, two hundred meters above the ground, at the top of the Divine Tree.

Swish.

Kisame and Tsunade emerged from the black door and landed on the Divine Tree.

"What's wrong with you?" Kisame took a few steps forward, but found Tsunade still standing there, her expression somewhat blank.

It turned out that she had intercourse with the live slug.

At Kisame's call, her eyes gradually regained their clarity. Although she still looked like Tsunade, her inner temperament had changed drastically.

"Lord Kisame." When the slug met Kisame's eyes, she immediately blushed, like a shy little girl.

Her voice was gentle, and her manners were very ladylike, creating a strong contrast with the boisterous, irritable, and easily angered Tsunade.

"interesting."

Kisame smiled slightly, feeling quite puzzled.

The same woman, who was arguing with him one moment and always had a sour face in front of him, was incredibly arrogant. But the next second, she would completely change her personality and become a gentle and quiet lady, shy in front of him and obedient to him.

The most interesting thing is that, although the woman who hates him and the woman who likes him don't appear at the same time, they share the same memories.

Kisame was also curious to know what would happen if the relationship between him, Katsuyu, and Tsunade continued to become entangled.

That's something to look forward to.

"Lord Kisame, what are you thinking about?" Katsuyu came to Kisame's side and asked curiously.

"It's nothing, I just think you're very beautiful."

Kisame maintained his smile and naturally extended an arm to put it around Kuma's shoulder. Kuma trembled, but did not resist; instead, she lowered her head shyly.

Living as a human female was an unprecedented and novel experience for a slug thousands of years old. Similarly, it was her first time experiencing love, and she thoroughly enjoyed this beautiful emotion, becoming completely immersed in it.

And so, Kisame, embracing the live slug, walked along the path formed by the intertwined branches, vines, and green leaves into the depths of the sacred tree.

The village has been peaceful lately, with nothing to worry about, so Kisame and Katsuyu stayed in the cabin and began living a life of their own.

They chatted, cooked, and cleaned the house together, and watched TV on the sofa. In the process, they gradually deepened their understanding of each other, and their two passionate hearts drew closer and closer.

A gentle evening breeze blows, and the stars and moon hang high in the sky.

A beautiful night.

The next morning, Tsunade rubbed her eyes and slowly woke up.

"Huh?" She suddenly realized that she was on the sofa, curled up in Kisame's arms like a kitten.

Why is this happening?

Her eyes widened instantly, she screamed, and jumped up from the sofa.

"You're so noisy and startling me first thing in the morning. If you had even half the gentleness and understanding of a live slug, you wouldn't still be a spinster at forty."

Kisame, who had been woken up, said while yawning.

Tsunade ignored him and quickly checked her clothes, finding them intact and not disheveled. Then, she covered her forehead and absorbed the memories of the slug from the past day.

"Don't be nervous. Slug and I just watched a few movies together last night, and then I fell asleep on the sofa. Nothing like what you're imagining happened."

Kisame said with a smile, and held up a disc, which was none other than the movie he and Tsunade had filmed, "Bay Shark".

"Hmph, I bet you wouldn't dare, otherwise I'd blow your head off."

Tsunade snorted coldly, finally letting out a sigh of relief. But she also realized that although Kisame and Katsuyu hadn't crossed the line this time, if things continued like this, they would eventually reach that point.

She didn't object to Katsuyu and Kisame being together, but the way Katsuyu and Kisame were together was by using her body. This troubled Tsunade greatly, and... made her feel ashamed.

Kisame saw through Tsunade's thoughts, and after a moment's thought, he stood up from the sofa and said to her:

"Don't worry, I'll be careful and won't do anything to your body. I, Kisame Hoshigaki, would never force a woman in this way. Katsuyu and I are soulmates; I can distinguish her soul from your body. And to be honest, I'm not interested in an old lady like you."

The first few sentences were fine, but the last sentence, with the word "old auntie," was a perfect landmine, severely touching Tsunade's sensitive spot.

"You bastard, get out of my house!" She clenched her fists and roared at Kisame through gritted teeth.

"The tigress is back again. She's not cute at all. I still prefer the kitten from last night." Kisame shook his head and slipped out of the treehouse before Tsunade's face twitched and she completely lost it.

However, he didn't go far. Instead, he circled the treehouse, looked it over, and cleared out a space next to it.

As Kisame performed his magic and formed hand seals, a large number of trees approached from all directions and quickly formed a new treehouse, standing side by side with Tsunade's wooden house.

boom!

Hearing the commotion, Tsunade stormed out of the door, confronted Kisame, and pointed at the treehouse, demanding, "What do you mean?"

"Fine, you won't let me stay in your house, but can't I build my own cabin and be your next-door neighbor? This place is perfect for me to hide in, so that I, who have faked my death, can hide here safely and play the role of the mastermind behind the ninja world."

Kisame said with a surprised look, and then explained why he wanted to stay here.

"I don't care, this tree is so big, there are plenty of places for you to hide. I don't want to see you here." Tsunade frowned, still relentless.

"Don't forget, I brought this big tree all the way back from Takigakure, not you. If you're unhappy, you can move it; I don't mind."

Kisame refused to back down and instead insisted that Tsunade move out. He felt that the location and scenery here were superb, making it the perfect place to live in seclusion.

"you……"

Tsunade was speechless for a moment. She had neither the right nor the strength to defeat Kisame, so she could only say coldly, "I'm not leaving, hmph."

As soon as she finished speaking, she turned around and went back to her treehouse, slamming the door shut.

Kisame shook his head, walked into the newly built treehouse, counted what furniture and daily necessities he needed, and decided to go to the village to buy them later.

That day, he spent some time setting up the treehouse and then settled in.

For the next few days, Kisame didn't see Katsuyu. Perhaps it was because Tsunade was angry and unwilling to lend her body to Katsuyu again for a while, constantly on guard against Kisame, her neighbor, not wanting him to take advantage of her vulnerability.

Kisame was too lazy to engage in power struggles with Tsunade, so he temporarily shifted his attention to some village affairs.

His current greatest interest is continuing his "Nine Jinchūriki" plan.

Currently, Kirigakure has gathered all nine tailed beasts, four of which are sealed away, and they have yet to find suitable jinchūriki.

However, before taking this step, Kisame plans to optimize the existing Jinchuriki candidates.

As we all know, the fate of a Jinchuriki and a Tailed Beast are intertwined; the death of one inevitably leads to the death of the other. However, the Tailed Beast can be reborn in the wild after several years.

Extracting the Tailed Beast from the Jinchuriki's body will also lead to the Jinchuriki's death.

However, don't forget that Kisame has now become a Six Paths level powerhouse. Although he is not yet as powerful as the Sage of Six Paths back then, with his abilities, performing a tailed beast transplantation surgery while preserving the Jinchuriki's life is not difficult.

Kisame plans to transplant the three-tailed Isobu from Rin Nohara's body into Haku's body.

Haku, a genius of the Yuki clan, possesses the Ice Release Kekkei Genkai, which perfectly complements the abilities of the Three-Tails, Isobu. The combination of the two will surely bring a powerful and perfect Jinchūriki to Kirigakure.

With that thought in mind, Kisame left the treehouse and quietly sneaked into the village.

Half an hour later.

In the misty outskirts, inside a training ground.

"drink!"

Several childish voices rang out in succession, followed by the sounds of fists and feet colliding, and the metallic clang of kunai and shuriken striking each other, creating a lively atmosphere.

Kisame arrived silently outside the training ground like an invisible ghost. Looking through the barbed wire fence, he immediately saw Kimimaro, Haku, Temari, Kankuro, and Gaara, the five little guys, earnestly conducting combat training in the open space.

The oldest among them, Temari, is over five years old, and the youngest, Gaara, is three. Although they are not yet old enough to enroll in the Ninja Academy, the little ones are already stronger than most of the students there.

On the one hand, because they are all geniuses, their talents and potential far exceed those of ordinary people, and they cannot be viewed with ordinary eyes.

On the other hand, it was also because they had an excellent teacher—Ye Cang.

At this moment, Ye Cang stood to the side with his arms crossed, looking very serious. He stared at the disciples with a cold gaze, observing and analyzing their performance, and occasionally reprimanding them.

Not long ago, after she woke up from her sickbed, she quickly became the teacher of several little ones at the request of the Snow Woman.
