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

Kimimaro drew his bone sword, turned it into bone, and returned it to his body. Then he reunited with Haku and Karin.

"Brother Kimimaro, you're injured."

With her sharp eyes, Karin immediately noticed the wound on Kimimaro's abdomen. It seemed that the rogue ninja, Hiiro, who had once been a Jonin of Konoha, still posed a considerable threat to him.

"Bite me quickly, my chakra can heal you."

Without thinking much, Karin stretched out one of her snow-white arms, letting Kimimaro bite her.

"Karin, I'm fine. Don't forget, I have the Nine-Tails inside me. It's time to collect some rent from it."

Kimimaro rarely showed a smile, and as he spoke, the wound on his abdomen healed rapidly.

clap clap clap!

Just then, applause came from the woods, and Kisame, who had been watching from the shadows, finally appeared.

"Not bad. The three of you performed better than I expected, and you deserve praise."

Kisame walked up to the three kids, first acknowledging their performance in the battle, then changed the subject, "However, there is still a lot of room for improvement."

Under his command, Kimimaro performed a spell and hand seals, storing the corpse of Huo Lan into a storage scroll.

"Remember, we are no longer ninjas of Kirigakure, but free bounty hunters. Our goal is to collect the corpses of rogue ninjas or bandit leaders like Higanbana and bring them to Konoha to make a fortune in bounties."

Kisame gave these instructions to the three little devils, and then the four of them left the forest and continued their journey.

As night fell, the team camped in the wild.

After a day of intense fighting, the three kids were exhausted and went to their tents early to fall into a deep sleep.

Kisame stood up, left the camp, and walked into the darkness.

"Come out."

After walking several dozen meters, he suddenly stopped and spoke.

293. An Encounter in Konoha

Silence. Nothing was heard.

Kisame seemed to know that someone was nearby, but after he spoke, no sound came from the darkness.

He smiled silently, his figure flashed and he disappeared from the spot. When he reappeared, he reached out with lightning speed and grabbed a woman's wrist with a "snap".

"you"

Ye Cang's expression changed. She had been extremely careful, but she hadn't expected that the other party would still discover her whereabouts.

"Was it Tsunade who ordered you to follow me? She commanded you to gather information about my three disciples, didn't she?" Kisame stared into Yekura's eyes and said with a half-smile.

"Who exactly are you?" Yecang frowned, not only refusing to answer Kisame's question but also asking it in return.

Kisame wasn't angry at that, and retorted, "Who do you think I am?"

"Let me go first," Ye Cang said coldly, trying to struggle.

"What if I don't let go?" Kisame teased.

"Then don't blame me." Ye Cang's eyes turned cold. As soon as she finished speaking, the skin on the wrist that Kisame had grabbed suddenly turned scorching red, and the next second it burst into flames.

Chi Chi Chi.

Kisame's palm was immediately scorched by the flames, and a puff of white smoke rose from it.

But just when Yekura thought she could break free, a powerful suction force suddenly came from Kisame's palm, swallowing up all the flames she released.

Not only that, the devouring power grew stronger and stronger, continuously absorbing the Blazing Release chakra within Yekura's body, which then disappeared into the opponent's palm like a mud ox sinking into the sea.

not good.

Yekura was shocked and instinctively tried to resist, but it was too late. She soon felt dizzy and lost her strength due to the rapid loss of chakra.

"Here's a suggestion: how about you become my spy from now on? Help me gather information about Tsunade's training of her disciples. I promise I won't treat you unfairly."

After Kisame took control of Yoru, he began to try to win her over.

"Don't even think about it! I would never betray Lady Tsunade. You might as well just kill me."

Ye Cang shouted sharply. As her chakra was being continuously drained, her face had turned pale. If this continued, she might be drained dry by this man and become a dried-up corpse.

Just when Yekura was about to despair.

"Never mind, how could I bear to force you?"

Kisame suddenly sighed, then released his grip and, amidst Yekura's astonished expression, turned and returned to the camp.

Yecang swayed and collapsed to the ground, staring blankly at Kisame's retreating figure.

the next day.

The four travelers left the camp and continued their journey.

Over the next period of time, they traveled through most of the Land of Fire. Along the way, Kimimaro and his companions eliminated various bandits and rogue ninjas, accumulating practical experience, while also undergoing various ninja training under Kisame's guidance.

The three kids were all exceptionally talented. They were like three sponges, greedily absorbing water and expanding rapidly as their strength grew.

Time flies like an arrow.

Before we knew it, two months had passed.

On this day, the four travelers, weary from their journey, finally arrived at Konoha Village. They passed through the village gate and came to the main road of Konoha.

"Is this Konoha Village? It's so lively, with so many people. However, it doesn't seem as bustling as our Kirigakure Village."

Bai curiously looked around at the buildings and observed the passersby, forming this initial impression.

“That’s right, our Kirigakure is much prettier than Konoha.” Karin nodded in agreement, speaking with a straight face.

Kimimaro remained silent, his eyes occasionally flashing a sharp light; only skilled ninjas could pique his interest.

Just as the kids were whispering amongst themselves, Kisame, who was walking at the front, said without turning his head, "If you don't want to cause trouble, don't mention the name Kirigakure again. Don't forget, we are now free ninjas within the Land of Fire."

"Yes, teacher."

Upon hearing this, Shiro and Karin quickly responded and shut their mouths.

Ten minutes later, the group of four arrived at the hot spring town along the Konoha River, found an inn, and booked two rooms.

"You'll have two days off starting today. You're free to move around Konoha Village and relax."

Inside the room, Kisame was giving pocket money to his three disciples as he spoke.

As for himself, he took the corpses of the rogue ninja and the bandit leader to the Konoha mission posting office to exchange for the bounty.

At the entrance of the hostel.

"Let's go to the shopping street. I heard there are lots of delicious food, fun activities, and shows to watch there."

Haku and Karin excitedly suggested it. Kimimaro wasn't particularly interested, but not wanting to spoil his companions' fun, he nodded and agreed to go with them.

After watching the three little devils skip and hop away, Kisame smiled slightly, turned around, put his hands in his pockets, and leisurely walked onto Ichiraku Avenue.

Returning to the familiar place, he strolled leisurely through the bustling crowd, heading towards the Hokage Building in the center of the village.

Half an hour later.

Kisame walked out of the Hokage Building carrying a briefcase full of banknotes. This money might not be worth much in his eyes, but it was earned by Kimimaro and the other two through hard work, and it meant a lot to the kids.

However, he had only taken a few steps when he heard a loud shout from the side:

"Get out of the way!"

Kisame turned around and saw a figure dressed in a green bodysuit rushing towards him as if in a hurry to be reincarnated.

It's Matt Kai.

Kisame could have easily dodged, but a thought struck him, and he pretended to be caught off guard, deliberately bumping into Might Guy.

boom!

The two collided head-on and fell to the ground. Kisame's briefcase was smashed, and the banknotes inside spilled out, scattering all over the floor.

"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!"

Might Guy, clutching his chest, scrambled to his feet. When he saw Kisame lying on the ground, and the pile of banknotes, his expression changed drastically, and he quickly bowed.

I'm so sorry!

After saying that, he immediately helped Kisame up and then hurriedly helped the latter pick up the money on the ground.

"Kai, I already told you I don't want to compete with you anymore. You're running so fast in the village, it's only a matter of time before you bump into someone."

Just then, a young man with white hair and a black mask ran over from a distance, shaking his head helplessly as he helped Kai pick up the money.

It's Kakashi.

Fortunately, the banknotes that fell to the ground were not blown away by the wind, and with the combined efforts of the three, all the money was retrieved.

"Sir, I'm so sorry! My friend and I were having a running race, and I was running too fast and couldn't stop in time, so I accidentally bumped into you. Are you alright? Would you like me to take you to the hospital?"

After returning the briefcase full of cash to Kisame, Might Guy apologized to him again, his attitude very sincere.

"I'm fine, just be more careful next time. After all, not everyone is as strong as me."

Kisame grinned, patted his firm chest, and then turned and strode away.

"Phew, I thought I was going to get into trouble. Luckily, this guy didn't hold it against me." Kai watched Kisame's retreating figure, breathed a sigh of relief, and looked relieved.

Kakashi frowned and remained silent.

"What's wrong, Kakashi?" Guy noticed his friend's expression and asked curiously.

"I don't know why, but I always felt that person was a bit strange."

Kakashi said in a deep voice, then shook his head, "Maybe I'm overthinking it."

Kisame returned to the inn.

crunch.

He pushed open the door and entered the room, immediately sensing an extremely subtle presence lurking inside. However, he merely smiled slightly, pretending not to notice, and after putting down his suitcase, went into the bathroom.

Splash!
