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

boom!

The next second, the spot where the masked man stood was bombarded by a huge fireball, leaving behind a scorched crater.

However, the masked man seemed to have anticipated this, so he managed to escape to the side beforehand and avoid the danger.

Whoosh whoosh.

After the explosion, several figures descended onto the training ground, protecting Temari and the others behind them. The one in the lead, with long, flowing green hair and wearing a backless dress that revealed a large expanse of fair skin, was none other than the hero of Kirigakure—the Scorching Release: Pakura.

"Lord Yakura!"

Upon seeing Yekura's appearance, the kids were overjoyed and relieved to be saved.

Yekura glanced back at the children; apart from Deidara and Kimimaro, who were unconscious, the others seemed unharmed. She breathed a slight sigh of relief, then looked away and gave an order to the ANBU:

"Surround this man!"

Yekura was very familiar with the Anbu, so she was 100% certain that she had never seen the Anbu ninja wearing the shark mask in front of her before.

In other words, the other party is definitely not from Kirigakure, but is most likely a spy from another ninja village.

"You came pretty fast. What a pity, I was hoping to play with these kids a little longer."

Kisame stared at Yekura and said with a half-smile.

"No matter who you are or what your purpose is, I'm only giving you one chance. Surrender immediately."

Ye Cang said coldly, and counted to three on the spot. Seeing that the other party did not react, he decisively summoned several Scorching Release Fireballs that floated around his body, and flames burst out from his body.

A major battle was imminent.

"stop!"

A clear shout came from above everyone's heads. Then, to everyone's surprise, the Sixth Mizukage, Tsunade, descended from the sky and stood between the masked man Kisame and Pakura.

"Lady Tsunade, you..." Yecang was taken aback.

"Yakura, put away your Scorching Release Fireball. This is a misunderstanding. My bad, I forgot to tell you. The person behind me is a powerful reclusive ninja. I specially invited him back to be the children's ninjutsu instructor."

Tsunade gestured for Yekura to relax, then walked over to the masked man and patted him on the shoulder.

"Lady Tsunade, thank you for getting me out of that predicament."

Kisame winked at Tsunade, or rather, the live slug, then walked past Yekura and stood in front of Temari and the others, looking down at the kids and saying:

"Let me formally introduce myself. I have no name and do not belong to any ninja village. You can think of me as a ghost that wanders outside the ninja world, so my code name is 'Oni' (Demon). At the invitation of Lady Tsunade, from today onwards, I will be your ninjutsu instructor."

Upon hearing this, the little devils looked at each other in bewilderment and fell silent.

"By the way, I just checked your strength, and it's absolutely terrible, which is very disappointing."

Kisame crossed his arms and began to lecture the new students, "In my eyes, you are just a bunch of hothouse flowers, good for nothing but squandering and wasting your talents. But from now on, be prepared, because under my command, you won't be able to slack off anymore."

This is Kisame's plan.

He had almost finished all the important business he needed to do and finally had some free time, so he planned to use the remaining time to give these kids a good workout.

Upon hearing Kisame's "declaration," Temari and the others' expressions changed, with Hinata, who was more timid, showing a tense and frightened look.

“We all saw you bite Deidara and Kimimaro. We saw you bite them.”

Temari mustered her courage and questioned Kisame.

"That was a gift I gave them."

Kisame smiled mysteriously, without explaining much, and immediately got into character, calling out the names of his students one by one as a ninjutsu instructor.

After taking attendance, he looked at the woods outside the training field and called out, "Come out."

As soon as he finished speaking, a few moments later, to the astonishment of Temari and the others, a seemingly honest and unassuming boy emerged from the woods with a nervous expression.

It was Jugo, who was brought back from near Ryuchi Cave by Kisame and Tsunade not long ago.

"Why are you out here again? Didn't I tell you to stay in your quarters?" A member of the ANBU saw Jugo and hurriedly stepped forward to question him.

"I... love nature, and... birds."

As Jugo stammered, he opened his clasped hands, and a small bird spread its wings from his palms and flew into the sky.

"Let him come over."

Kisame gave an order to the ANBU member, then said to Jugo, "You join these kids and train with them."

At this point, almost everyone had arrived.

"Alright, nice to meet you all. That's all for today. Everyone, gather at the training ground at 8:00 AM tomorrow. Anyone who dares to be late or simply doesn't come will face the consequences...."

Kisame delivered another threatening announcement, then glanced at Tsunade before leaving with her under everyone's watchful eyes.

Ye Cang watched the two figures disappear into the distance, his brows furrowing slightly.

Anyone could see that Lady Tsunade and this masked man who suddenly appeared had a close relationship, or even... they were exchanging glances.

It's important to know that besides being the Sixth Mizukage, Tsunade also had another identity: the former Mizukage's wife.

At least in name only, she is the Lady of the Water Shadow.

It was somewhat inappropriate for Tsunade to be so close to other men, given that Kisame Hoshigaki had only been dead for less than two years.

Furthermore, she noticed that Tsunade sometimes acted strangely, her personality suddenly changing drastically from usual, which puzzled Yekura.

What exactly happened to Lady Tsunade?

Ye Cang couldn't understand it, so he could only look away and shake his head.

She glanced at Deidara and Kimimaro, who were lying unconscious beside her, and suddenly a thought struck her. She asked Temari, "What happened when the masked man bit them?"

After receiving the reply, Yekura's eyes flashed, and he reached out with both hands to touch the places where Deidara and Kimimaro had been bitten, and closed his eyes to sense them.

She sensed a very familiar power within them. That power had once resided within her in the same way.

It's Sage Chakra.

Is it...

Yekura suddenly opened her eyes, her expression gradually turning to surprise.

Kisame and Katsuyu returned to the treehouse together.

"Lord Kisame, I'm about to hand over my body to Lady Tsunade," the slug said with some reluctance.

"Don't rush, let her wait a little longer."

Kisame reached out and put his arm around the slender waist of the live slug, and stood with her by the window, quietly admiring the scenery outside. They lingered there tenderly for a while.

The two enjoyed this peaceful sweetness.

"Have you gotten enough of the bargains?" Suddenly, a familiar voice rang out coldly, bringing Kisame back to his senses.

"Ugh, what a buzzkill."

Kisame looked down and saw that Tsunade had gone to work, so he shook his head and turned to leave.

"Hmph." Tsunade watched Kisame's departing figure and snorted coldly as always. However, she herself did not notice that in addition to disgust, there was also a strange meaning on her face.

Kisame put on the shark mask and returned to Kirigakure, where he toured the territory that was actually his.

The first place he went to was the Water Shadow Building.

When the Mizukage Tsunade is busy with other matters, most of the village's daily affairs are now handled by Mei Terumi, whom she has appointed.

This Six-Tails Jinchuriki from Kirigakure gradually won widespread praise and the respect of the villagers thanks to her strength, beauty, and abilities.

Many people, even privately, believe that Mei Terumi is the most promising candidate to succeed Tsunade.

In the office, Mei Terumi was intently working at her desk, her expression serious as she processed various documents. Her best friend, Yuri Ringo, was keeping her company, although the latter mostly lay listlessly on the sofa, eating lollipops.

Ok?

Suddenly, Mei Terumi looked up at the window with some confusion.

Just now, she seemed to feel a gaze upon her.

"What's wrong?" Yu Yuli noticed her best friend's unusual behavior and asked curiously.

Mei Terumi stood up, walked to the window and looked around, then turned back, shook her head and said, "It's nothing, maybe it's just my imagination."

On the opposite rooftop, Kisame's figure slowly appeared, smiled slightly, and turned to leave.

Next, he went to the medical department.

The people in charge here now are Tsunade's two disciples—Shizune and Rin Nohara.

They have both become capable medical ninjas, and together they work to maintain the smooth operation of the Hidden Mist Medical System.

To Kisame's surprise, Queen Sara, whom he rescued from the Kingdom of Loulan, also seemed to be very interested in medical ninjutsu and showed some talent for it.

The last queen of Loulan has put aside her glorious past and now works as an ordinary medical ninja, following Shizune and Rin Nohara to learn diligently.

After leaving the medical department, Kisame also went to the science department.

In recent years, Snake Queen has remained secluded, spending most of her time locked in the laboratory, engrossed in scientific research, and has produced many results.

Of course, she would occasionally take some time to teach her two disciples, Mitarashi Anko and Kabuto, and nurture them into talents.

Finally, Kisame returned to that familiar little courtyard.

Of the four women living here, Natsumi from Hoshigakure and Karura from Sunagakure have changed their identities and officially become Jonin of Kirigakure.

Meanwhile, Mikiko from Takigakure stayed at home with Yuki-onna, taking care of a group of children of all ages.

That night, Kisame sneaked into Yuki-onna's room, gave her a big surprise, and stayed overnight.

the next morning.

Training Course.

"Gaara, Haku, Deidara, Yamato, Temari, Karin Uzumaki, Kimimaro, Hinata, Jugo, and Suigetsu Hozuki, who just joined temporarily. Hmm, exactly ten people. From this moment on, you no longer need to go to the Ninja Academy, because I am your teacher."

After Kisame finished calling the roll, he crossed his arms and addressed the ten little devils in front of him.

"Excuse me, how can we graduate and become ninjas if we don't go to the ninja academy?"

Kankuro raised his hand, frowning as he asked. He didn't like this teacher very much, and before anything even started, he was already thinking about escaping the other's "clutches."

"You're in quite a hurry, kid."

Kisame gave Kankuro a meaningful look, then snapped his fingers, summoning a shadow clone in front of a group of little devils.
