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

309. Kaguya, the Hidden Mist Ninja (Part 2)

This isn't the first time Kisame has done something like this.

Yekura knew that Kisame had always had a hobby: like a gold prospector, he would search for young geniuses from all over the ninja world and bring them back to Kirigakure to train them.

From the earliest Haku and Yamato, to the later Temari siblings, as well as Karin, Hinata, Jugo, and others, they are all like this without exception.

In fact, Kisame often brings back not only young geniuses, but also their mothers...

Therefore, when Yekura learned from Kisame that he had found another genius girl, she was not surprised or taken aback, but was only curious about her appearance.

With two horns on her head, pale skin, and long blue and white hair that was over a meter long, along with her magnificent jeweled robe, this girl exuded a noble and mysterious aura.

Then, Yekura heard the other person's name.

"Kaguya Otsutsuki..."

She murmured the name, first pausing in surprise, then her eyes narrowed, her expression gradually turning to astonishment.

Is this Otsutsuki the same Otsutsuki she knows?

Thinking of this, Ye Cang couldn't help but ask curiously, "Lord Kisame, could this Kaguya be a descendant of the Sage of Six Paths, Hagoromo Otsutsuki?"

"no."

Kisame smiled and shook his head, no longer keeping her in suspense, and said directly, "She is the Sage of Six Paths' mother."

what? !

Upon hearing this, Ye Cang thought he had misheard for a moment, but after regaining his senses, his eyes widened.

She had indeed heard the story of Kaguya from Kisame.

Back then, the Sage of Six Paths and his brother joined forces to fight their mother Kaguya, sealing her physical incarnation—the Gedo Mazo—on the moon, where it was guarded by his brother Hamura and his descendants. They also divided her chakra into nine tailed beasts, which were scattered throughout the ninja world and guarded by Hagoromo and his Ninshu disciples for generations.

Yekura also knew that Madara Uchiha, Obito, Nagato and his group had used the Rinnegan to steal the Gedo Mazo from the moon and attempted to collect all the tailed beasts in order to implement the Eye of the Moon Plan, which seemed to be vaguely related to the resurrection of Kaguya.

However, their plot was exposed by Kisame, and not only did it fail, but Kisame and Tsunade also took the Gedo Mazo and all the Tailed Beasts back to Kirigakure.

Could it be that Lord Kisame used the chakra of the golem and the tailed beast to revive Kaguya?

I know what you're thinking.

Kisame, observing Yekura's changing expression, explained at the opportune moment, "Don't worry, the Kaguya Otsutsuki you see now is no longer so dangerous after my intervention. As you can see, she is just a twelve-year-old girl, innocent and confused."

"...I understand, Kisame-sama."

Although shocked, Yekura nodded, bowed to Kisame, and quickly began to act, secretly keeping an eye on Kaguya as instructed.

Kaguya glanced back at the Mizukage Building.

She couldn't see through the man who called himself Kisame Hoshigaki. All she knew was that his strength far surpassed hers, even more so than she had been at her peak.

So now, it seems that there is only one path in front of her: to obediently follow orders.

Realizing this, she gently shook her head and walked towards the bustling Mist-Hidden Street ahead.

The streets were lined with shops of all kinds, selling a dazzling array of goods. The streets were bustling with pedestrians, a truly vibrant and prosperous scene.

Kaguya's appearance in the crowd quickly attracted the attention of many Kirigakure villagers.

Wherever she went, many people stopped what they were doing or stopped talking, turning around to look at this beautiful girl with a unique appearance and temperament with surprise and curiosity.

Why... is everyone looking at me?

Feeling somewhat uncomfortable under the gaze of the surrounding crowd, Kaguya stopped in her tracks, a puzzled expression on her face.

not good.

Seeing this, Yekura immediately tensed up, worried that Kaguya might do something dangerous if she got upset.

Just as she was about to intervene, Kaguya suddenly started moving again, taking another step forward.

That's because Kaguya didn't sense any malice in the villagers' gazes. On the contrary, perhaps because she was wearing a ninja headband, most of those gazes were kind and friendly.

Suddenly, a sweet aroma wafted from the street and entered Kaguya's nose.

Huh?

Curious, she walked into a snack shop and saw several skewers of five-colored meatballs on a plate. They looked beautiful, smelled delicious, and looked very tasty.

Perhaps because she hadn't eaten in a long time, Kaguya swallowed hard, then involuntarily reached out, picked up two skewers of dumplings, and brought them to her mouth.

The warm meatballs melt in your mouth, soft and sweet.

good to eat.

Kaguya's eyes widened, and before she knew it, she had eaten all the dumplings on the plate.

"Little girl, eat slowly, be careful not to choke. You have excellent taste. I've been making dumplings for thirty years, and they're the most authentic and delicious in the entire Hidden Mist Village. Everyone calls me the Dumpling Sage."

The shop manager, wearing a white chef's hat, watched Kaguya with a smile, not forgetting to boast about his signature dish.

However, before he could finish showing off, he discovered that Kaguya had finished the sweet dumplings and then turned around and left.

"Hey, wait a minute, you haven't paid yet. Young lady, even though you're very pretty, you can't just eat and drink for free."

Point Guard Here

The store manager snapped out of his daze and quickly chased after her, grabbing Kaguya's arm as if worried she would run away.

Ok?

The moment the other person touched her body, Kaguya almost reflexively turned her head sharply, and a large number of veins appeared on both sides of her eyes.

In that instant, she activated her Byakugan and unleashed a powerful aura upon the store manager.

thump.

The store manager immediately collapsed to the ground in terror, his face turning ashen and appearing to be in great pain, as if he were about to die at any moment.

Fortunately, Kaguya quickly realized what was happening and released the pressure.

Oh, right, you have to pay for food.

With that thought in mind, she took out the banknotes Kisame had given her and handed them to the shopkeeper.

Seeing that the other person didn't react at all, as if they were stunned, she said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."

After saying that, he dropped the money, turned around quickly, and left.

Whoosh.

Kaguya hadn't gone far when Yekura appeared on the street and helped the trembling shopkeeper to his feet.

"Are you alright?"

"Lord Yecang, I'm alright. Thanks to your timely appearance, you saved my life."

When the shopkeeper saw that the person in front of him was Yekura, a hero from Kirigakure, he was immediately excited and forgot all the fright he had just experienced.

No, this won't do; problems will arise sooner or later if we continue like this.

Yekura frowned as she watched Kaguya's departing figure. After thinking for a while, she decided to take the initiative to approach her and personally act as Kaguya's tour guide.

However, when Yekura caught up with Kaguya, she found that the latter had arrived at the foot of the Divine Tree and was looking up at the towering tree that reached into the clouds.

Was this tree also planted by Kisame Hoshigaki? Why does it feel so familiar?

Kaguya tilted her long, white neck back and stared intently at the tree. She quickly realized that it must have been separated from the divine tree from back then.

She couldn't help but take another step and walk towards the sacred tree.

How to do this?

Upon seeing this scene, Yecang hesitated for a moment, unsure whether to step forward and stop it. Just as she was feeling conflicted, Kisame's thoughts suddenly echoed in her mind.

"stop!"

Two ANBU ninjas appeared out of nowhere, blocking Kaguya's path and asking her sternly, "Are you a ninja from Kirigakure? What's your name?"

"I want to go up to this big tree and take a look."

Kaguya did not answer their questions, but instead pointed to the top of the Divine Tree and said calmly.

Why is this little girl so dull?

The two secret agents exchanged a glance, both quite surprised.

However, considering how cute and adorable she was, one of the ANBU stepped forward, frowning as he patiently explained to Kaguya:

"This sacred tree is the residence of the Sixth Mizukage, the God of Shinobi, Tsunade. No one except her and her disciples may enter or leave at will, understand?"

Upon hearing this, Kaguya immediately showed a look of disappointment and slowly lowered her hand.

She hadn't forgotten her current predicament. If she did anything that Kisame Hoshigaki couldn't tolerate, he would immediately throw her into that dark space, where she would be accompanied by a loneliness worse than death.

Kaguya turned around without saying a word and prepared to leave.

As soon as she turned around, she saw a green-haired woman walking towards her.

"Her name is Kaguya, and she's a disciple recently taken in by Lady Tsunade. Let her go up."

Yekura glanced at Kaguya, then gave instructions to the two ANBU members.

"Yes, Lady Yekura."

The two quickly bowed and stepped aside to make way for Kaguya.

"Thank you...." Kaguya looked up at Yekura and said the three words with some surprise.

"Go ahead, it's Kisame-sama's permission." Yekura leaned down and whispered in Kaguya's ear, in a voice only the two of them could hear.

"She...she took flight!"

Amidst the horrified expressions of the two ANBU members, Kaguya's feet left the ground, and she floated up, flying towards the Divine Tree.

Her figure quickly disappeared into the overwhelming green foliage.

Kaguya followed the quiet path formed by vines and branches, step by step, towards the depths of the sacred tree. More than ten minutes later, an exquisite treehouse appeared before her.

Is this the abode of the ninja god they speak of?

Kaguya thought to herself, but she couldn't sense any presence in the house. She walked to the window, stood on tiptoe, and looked inside. The living room and bedroom were empty; as expected, no one was there.

He's probably not home.
