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

Soon, the sound of water came from the bathroom, accompanied by Kisame's singing. However, the singing was hardly beautiful or melodious; it sounded more like the wailing of ghosts and wolves.

Yecang frowned and stepped out from behind the curtains.

She suspected that Kisame had already discovered her, which was why he deliberately sang such an unpleasant song to torment her.

Just when Yekura was about to reach his limit with Kisame's singing, he finally finished his shower and returned to his bedroom.

Yecang quickly hid.

Kisame dried his wet hair with a towel, and with only a bath towel wrapped around his waist, he lay on the bed in a starfish position, shirtless.

Mmm, that feels so good.

After two months of living a rough life in the wild, Kisame finally got to sleep in a comfortable bed. He closed his eyes contentedly and took a nap.

When he opened his eyes again, what came into view was Ye Cang, who stood in front of the bed with a cold expression and his arms crossed.

"Is there something you need?" Kisame asked with a smile, his hands behind his head, unsurprised.

Upon hearing this, Ye Cang suddenly stared intently at him and said, word by word, "You are... a... shiki... ghost!"

"Oh, why do you say that? If I remember correctly, the Fifth Mizukage, Kisame Hoshigaki, committed suicide a long time ago, didn't he?"

Kisame feigned surprise.

Stop acting!

Ye Cang let out a soft shout, clenched his fist, and stared intently at Kisame. "I've been secretly observing you for two months. Although your appearance differs from Lord Kisame's, your every word and action is exactly the same as his! You are Kisame Hoshigaki, you are not dead!"

Her tone was very firm, and she was convinced that her judgment was absolutely correct.

Faced with Yekura's revelation, Kisame simply smiled without saying a word. Only when the atmosphere in the room was becoming increasingly awkward due to the silence did he suddenly give a helpless smile:

"You found out."

After he finished speaking, his face slowly changed, revealing his true appearance, which had not been seen by anyone for a long time.

When Ye Cang saw that incredibly familiar face, he froze, standing there motionless.

"What, I admit I'm Kisame Hoshigaki, but you still don't believe me?" Kisame asked with a smile.

"I want to ask you something."

Yekura was silent for a moment, then stepped forward and said, "During the Fourth Shinobi World War, I fell into a coma due to severe injuries and lay in the hospital for over a year. But one day, I suddenly saw someone in my dream."

"That's not a dream, Yecang."

Kisame interrupted her, saying apologetically, "At that time, I had just woken up from a long coma. After returning to Kirigakure, I went to see you in the hospital. I'm sorry, for some reasons, I kept it from you."

Upon hearing this, Ye Cang was startled.

At this moment, she was finally 100% certain that the man in front of her was Kisame Hoshigaki, the man she had once followed.

Before she knew it, two lines of tears streamed down her face.

"Why are you crying? Shouldn't you be laughing at a time like this?" Kisame asked, looking surprised.

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Cang suddenly threw herself into his arms and began to sob.

""

Kisame didn't say anything more, but reached out and gently hugged her, letting Yekura's tears flow like a flood, soaking his chest.

A while passed like this.

"Hmm?" Kisame suddenly frowned and let out a soft exclamation.

"W-what's wrong?" Ye Cang looked up and asked, her eyes red.

"It's Kimimaro. He really went to find Naruto. Something might happen next." Kisame sighed, clearly having anticipated this.

"Naruto Uzumaki? The one who is the son of the Fifth Hokage, the child of prophecy, and the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki of Konoha?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Cang was also taken aback. After regaining his senses, he quickly said, "Then let's go and take a look quickly."

As she spoke, she stood up and noticed that Kisame's chest was covered in her tears. Thinking of her earlier outburst, she blushed and whispered, "I'm sorry."

"It's ok."

Kisame got out of bed, changed his clothes in front of Yekura, and then reverted to his previous appearance. During this time, Yekura also wiped away the tears on her face and resumed her usual stern demeanor.

The two exchanged a glance, left the inn, and headed off in a certain direction.

at this time.

The square in the commercial street was packed with people, many of whom were watching the performance on stage with great interest.

"Brother Kimimaro, where are we going?"

In the crowd, Shiro and Karin followed Kimimaro, panting heavily, feeling quite puzzled.

Because just now, Kimimaro's expression suddenly became strange, and then he hurriedly walked in a certain direction, as if he was looking for something.

"Shiro, Karin, you two go back to the inn first. I have some personal matters to attend to."

Kimimaro turned around and solemnly instructed his two companions, "If the teacher asks, please keep it from him for me, understand?"

Upon hearing this, the two looked at each other, unsure of what to do.

Just then, Kimimaro seemed to sense something and suddenly quickened his pace to break through the crowd. He immediately spotted the backs of several little devils walking and chatting on the street.

"Naruto, I heard you got beaten up by Sasuke again? As the son of the Hokage, don't you feel ashamed?"

A blonde girl looked at him with disdain.

The little brat she was mocking had short blond hair, blue twin eyes, wore dark green goggles, and a white T-shirt.

He had been strolling leisurely with his hands behind his head and a lollipop in his mouth when he heard the blonde girl, Yamanaka Ino, laughing at him. His face froze and he stopped in his tracks.

"Damn it, didn't Sasuke promise me he wouldn't tell anyone? I was careless last time and he ambushed me, that's why I lost the match!"

Naruto Uzumaki blushed, trying to defend himself, his face full of indignation as he shouted, "Don't tell me where Sasuke is, or I'll definitely go find him and get my revenge, and beat him up!"

Although his voice was loud, he clearly sounded somewhat guilty.

So that's Naruto Uzumaki? I'm so glad to finally meet you.

Kimimaro stood not far behind the group, watching Naruto's back, and silently said to himself.

294. Naruto, you've disappointed me so much.

The reason Kimimaro was able to find Naruto in the vast Hidden Leaf Village was simple: Kurama (the Nine-Tails) led the way.

Kurama, the strongest of the nine tailed beasts, was originally an unruly being, but was forcibly split in two and separated into two different worlds.

It was extremely unhappy.

Kurama has been plotting to reunite with his other half and become a complete Kurama again.

Therefore, as soon as Kimimaro arrived in Konoha, it became active, constantly tempting him to find Naruto, defeat him, and steal the other half of the Nine-Tails.

Kimimaro's eyes flashed, and he was about to walk towards Naruto when he heard Haku and Karin calling out from behind him.

The two were worried about Kimimaro, so they disobeyed his orders and followed him.

"Brother Kimimaro, we are comrades in the same squad, have you forgotten? So don't even think about abandoning us and acting alone. No matter what dangers or difficulties we may face, we will face them with you."

Haku walked up to Kimimaro and said stubbornly.

Karin nodded earnestly, like a chick pecking at rice.

"Ok."

Kimimaro had no choice but to reluctantly agree. However, he emphasized that the following matters were his private affairs, and he hoped to handle them himself, asking the two of them to refrain from interfering.

at the same time.

Naruto had just uttered his threat to get revenge on Sasuke when a chubby boy with brown hair next to him quickly said, "I know where Sasuke is. He's at Training Ground Number Three every day at this time, practicing ninjutsu with his brother, Itachi Uchiha!"

"Uh..." Naruto's face stiffened upon hearing this, finding himself in a difficult situation.

"Choji, can you shut up and just focus on eating your potato chips?"

Beside him, the small-eyed boy Nara Shikamaru held his forehead, feeling helpless about his companion's low emotional intelligence.

"Naruto, why does your face suddenly look so pale? Are you scared?" Yamanaka Ino asked with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Naruto jumped up as if his tail had been stepped on, shouting:

"Who says I'm afraid? Come on, today I'll knock that guy Zuo Zhu to the ground right in front of you, and show you the true power of the Child of Prophecy!"

After saying that, he exhaled two puffs of hot air from his nose, clenched his fists with a murderous look on his face, and walked towards the training ground.

"Yay, this is going to be interesting!" Ino clapped her hands happily after successfully stirring things up, and quickly caught up with Naruto, pulling the chubby Choji along with her.

"Sigh, how boring." Shikamaru sighed, lazily put his hands in his pockets, and followed.

Not far away, Kimimaro and his two companions witnessed this scene.

"Is that guy Naruto Uzumaki, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki of Konoha Village?"

Bai was taken aback and finally understood why Kimimaro had suddenly lost his composure and acted rashly.

"Is that blond guy Naruto Uzumaki one of my clansmen?" Karin murmured, watching Naruto's retreating figure, a strong curiosity growing in her heart about this child of prophecy.

So the three of them followed Naruto and the others, passing through the streets of Konoha, and finally arrived at Training Ground No. 3 outside the village.

"Naruto."

Nara Shikamaru, who was lagging behind, suddenly took two quick steps forward and patted Naruto on the shoulder.

"Shikamaru, you're trying to persuade me not to act impulsively, right? You should just give up. I, Naruto Uzumaki, will definitely defeat that Uchiha Sasuke today and show you who the real genius is."

Naruto said with great conviction.

"I did not mean that"

Shikamaru was speechless. He pointed behind them and said, "What I want to say is that someone has been following us since the beginning."

Oh?

Upon hearing Shikamaru's words, Naruto, Ino, and Choji all turned around and, sure enough, saw three unfamiliar kids following them from a distance.

"Have you guys seen these guys before?" Ino frowned and nudged Choji next to her with her elbow, but the latter just kept stuffing potato chips into his mouth.
