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

Sixteen-year-old Hongdou is at the age of physical development and youthful beauty. She has long, tied-up purple hair and wears a white lab coat over a semi-transparent black mesh bra, highlighting her alluring curves.

This bold and sexy style of dressing is undoubtedly very attractive to Kabuto, who is just entering puberty. In addition, Anko has a free-spirited personality and likes to tease him, which makes him unable to resist and often makes him blush.

"Ugh, how boring."

At this moment, Mitarashi Anko complained as she raised her hands and yawned widely.

Upon seeing this, Dou stopped what he was doing and was stunned for a moment.

"Hey kid, you've been spying on me again! Tell me, what's on your mind? Let me guess, it must be some really filthy thoughts!"

Hongdou suddenly jumped up from the chair and pressed Dou relentlessly with her questions, causing him to retreat in a panic.

"I...I didn't..."

Faced with his aggressive senior sister, Dou stammered and blushed as he denied it.

"Still lying. Hmph, I'm going to tell Nonou-senpai that you spied on me. I bet she'll be very disappointed in you when she finds out, right?"

Red Bean's eyes darted around, and she came up with a brilliant idea to threaten Dou.

"Senior sister, no, I beg you." Upon hearing this, Dou immediately broke out in a cold sweat, her voice trembling with tears.

"Sigh, whatever, I'm just too soft-hearted. But..."

Hongdou sighed, appearing magnanimous, then changed the subject, saying, "It's simple for me to forgive you, but you have to do something for me."

"What is it?" Dou asked cautiously.

"so……"

Hongdou leaned close to Dou's ear and whispered something to him, then patted her junior brother on the shoulder, "Do you understand?"

"I...I understand." Dou agreed and ran out of the lab as if fleeing to help Hongdou with errands.

"What an idiot."

Watching Dou's departing figure, Hongdou chuckled, then returned to her chair, lay down comfortably again, and began humming a little tune.

interesting.

Kisame witnessed the entire event that took place in the laboratory, a slight smile playing on his lips.

In the original work, Kabuto Yakushi lived in darkness from his youth. Especially after being tricked by Danzo and forced to kill Nono with his own hands, this genius boy completely fell into darkness. For the next ten years, he was constantly maneuvering between various forces, living the life of a double agent or even a multi-agent.

He even became a major villain, launching the Fourth Shinobi World War almost single-handedly, before being hastily defeated by the protagonists, ending his sinful and tragic life.

However, it now seems that after Kabuto came to Kirigakure, although he still worked under Snake Princess (Orochimaru), his personality and fate seemed to have unknowingly taken a completely opposite path to the original story.

Kisame is quite looking forward to seeing what Kabuto will become in the future.

As for Mitarashi Anko, this girl who acts like a big sister and likes to bully her junior brothers, perhaps she should be taught a lesson.

Thinking of this, Kisame quietly emerged from the darkness and said to Mitarashi Anko from behind, "It's not a glorious thing to bully juniors by relying on seniority and strength."

"Who?!"

Hongdou was startled and jumped up from the chair like a cat with its fur standing on end, turning around with a look of surprise and doubt.

What appeared in her field of vision was a tall man, but his appearance was shrouded in a blurry shadow, making it impossible to see his facial features.

Is it an illusion?

"Hmph, what a sneaky fellow. He doesn't even dare to show his true face, yet he has the audacity to lecture me."

Red Bean sneered, and without saying a word, she raised her hand and threw several shuriken that flew out and attacked Kisame.

"hehe."

Kisame chuckled, his figure flashed and disappeared from the spot. When he reappeared, he had silently arrived on Anko's back and locked her body with a pair of thick, iron-like arms.

"What do you want? Let me go!"

Anko struggled desperately, but Kisame's right arm tightened around her neck, making it hard for her to breathe. In desperation, she opened her mouth and bit down hard on Kisame's arm.

But this bite almost broke her teeth, because the other person's arm was harder than steel.

"It's not good to bite people randomly. It's time for me to bite you back."

As Kisame said this, he suddenly lowered his head and bit down on Anko's left collarbone, leaving a dark sage magic mark there.

"..."

Hongdou felt a sharp pain coming from her collarbone, and her eyes rolled back as she fainted from the pain.

Kisame released his grip, letting Anko collapse to the ground, and watched as the cursed mark on her neck slowly disappeared until it completely merged into her body and even her wounds healed.

His purpose in coming to the medical department was to plant a cursed mark on the Snake Princess's disciple while she was away. In this way, Kisame could use Mitarashi Anko as a pawn to monitor the Snake Princess's movements at any time.

After completing this task, Kisame did not linger and disappeared into the darkness once more.

after awhile.

Clutching a bunch of snacks, he jogged back to the lab, sweating profusely.

Senior Sister Hongdou especially loves desserts. The thing she threatened him to do was actually just to make Dou spend his own pocket money to run errands for her, buying glutinous rice balls and red bean paste.

"Senior sister, I'm so sorry, the line at the store you like to go to is too long, and it was a lot of trouble for me to buy it back."

As Dou walked toward Hongdou, he nervously explained, but when he got closer, he found Hongdou lying on the ground, unconscious and in pain.

"Senior sister, what's wrong? Wake up!"

Dou quickly threw down the snacks and vigorously shook the red bean, and it actually worked.

"What... happened just now? I think I was attacked," Red Bean murmured, her head throbbing with pain. She couldn't remember anything that had happened after Kabuto left.

She subconsciously touched the area above her left collarbone, where the skin was perfectly intact, without any teeth marks or scars.

Did you accidentally fall asleep and have a nightmare?

"Senior sister, are you alright?" At this moment, Dou's call brought Hongdou back to reality, and she saw that he looked worried.

"What could possibly happen to me?" Hongdou said irritably, patting her bottom and standing up from the ground.

Seeing that Hongdou was alright, Dou breathed a sigh of relief and handed her the meatballs and red bean paste he had bought. "Senior sister, I bought all the meatballs you wanted. Eat them while they're hot."

"I don't want it, you eat it." Hongdou shook her head.

"Why?" Dou looked bewildered, completely confused. These were all things that his senior sister loved to eat.

"I have a toothache."

Hongdou said softly, covering her cheek with her hand, feeling a sharp pain in her teeth. Whatever the reason, she decided to eat less, or even give up, sweets altogether.

Even Kisame himself didn't expect that he would unintentionally help Mitarashi Anko break her sweet tooth, thus preventing her from gaining weight as she got older...

256. Tequila and Karin, mother and daughter

Where is that guy?

After Tsunade completed the tailed beast transplant surgery on Pakura and Yamato, she found Kisame's operating room, pushed open the door, and only saw Nohara Rin and Haku fast asleep.

Kisame has disappeared without a trace.

After checking on the two and confirming that there was nothing wrong, Tsunade woke them up.

Half an hour later, Tsunade returned to the treehouse but did not find Kisame there.

"That guy disappeared without a word, he's really something. But it's probably for the best, out of sight, out of mind."

Tsunade muttered to herself, then plopped down on the sofa. Perhaps the two major surgeries had taken a toll on her energy, for she quickly closed her eyes, tilted her head, and drifted off to sleep.

Meanwhile, Kisame had already crossed the sea and the Land of Fire through a spatial portal and landed in the Land of Grass.

He used his transformation technique to slightly change his appearance, disguising himself as an ordinary tourist, and headed towards his destination, Kusagakure.

His first destination was Karin Uzumaki.

During the Second Shinobi World War twenty years ago, the Uzumaki clan was wiped out as the Land of Whirlpools was conquered. Since then, only a few survivors of the clan remain, scattered throughout the shinobi world, mostly living a life of constant hiding and wandering.

For example, Nagato fled to the Land of Rain with his parents, but they still couldn't escape the war and watched helplessly as his parents were killed by Konoha ninja. However, he was lucky enough to be discovered by Jiraiya, who took good care of him and allowed him to spend a relatively fulfilling and happy childhood.

In comparison, Karin's fate was far more tragic than Nagato's.

From as far back as she could remember, she wandered from place to place with her mother, and because of her red hair, she was ostracized and discriminated against everywhere. Later, the mother and daughter finally settled down in Kusagakure, thinking it was a new beginning, but unexpectedly, they were used as human medical kits by the Kusagakure ninjas.

To protect her daughter, Karin's mother sacrificed herself, being bitten hundreds and thousands of times by the ninjas of Kusagakure, and dying after her chakra was drained. Her death was extremely tragic.

Although her mother's death granted Karin the status of a genin in Kusagakure, her fate remained unchanged; she was merely a tool used by the villagers to treat their wounds.

In the original story, Karin also participated in the Chunin Exams as a member of Kusagakure, which was also the first time she met Sasuke, Naruto, and others. Later, she encountered Orochimaru, who discovered her talent and she became Orochimaru's experimental subject.

It could be said that among the descendants of the Uzumaki clan, Naruto Uzumaki, who seemingly suffered many setbacks and discrimination from a young age, actually had the best life. Karin, on the other hand, was the truly pitiful one.

Like Naruto and Nagato, Karin possesses a vast amount of chakra. Injured individuals can recover their chakra and heal their injuries simply by biting her skin. Furthermore, her sensory abilities are exceptional; she possesses the Kagura Mind's Eye of the Uzumaki clan, allowing her to sense all enemies within a radius of tens of kilometers.

Therefore, in Kisame's view, Karin was a very suitable candidate for Jinchūriki. With her qualifications, she should be able to control the Eight-Tails, Gyūki.

He estimated that Karin and her daughter should have arrived at Kusagakure by now, and if he was lucky, he could find them by taking a stroll around there.

However, to Kisame's surprise, on his way to Kusagakure, he encountered several groups of bandits who blocked his path, and the attacks were almost relentless.

Is this place really that chaotic?

Kisame quickly learned the reason.

He had encountered another band of robbers, and this time there were over a hundred of them, a formidable force. They had just robbed a caravan, killing many civilians, and were now counting their spoils in the middle of the road.

Kisame's appearance attracted the other party's attention.

The bandit leader was a tall, dark-skinned, one-eyed burly man. His sinister gaze fell on Kisame, and he quickly frowned. His intuition, honed through countless battles, told him that this man was not to be trifled with; he was a ruthless character.

"Who are you? State your name." The one-eyed man asked Kisame this question, and secretly gestured to his men to surround Kisame.

"If I'm not mistaken, you're not ordinary bandits, but... prisoners from Hozuki Castle Prison, right? I've heard that it's where ninjas from various ninja villages who have committed serious crimes are imprisoned; it's a stronghold for evildoers."

Kisame stroked his chin and asked in return.

The moment he saw these people, they seemed familiar. Then he suddenly remembered that many of their faces were guys he had bullied when he was in prison in Ghost Lantern City.

The one-eyed man's two henchmen exchanged a glance and approached Kisame from the left and right. As they drew their weapons, they sneered and threatened Kisame:

"Now that you know who we are, why don't you obediently hand over all the money you have, then kneel down and beg for mercy? Maybe our boss will be in a good mood and spare your life."
