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

But he immediately remembered a saying: "Deadbeats usually don't lack the money to pay; they just have the money but don't want to pay."

That's exactly the kind of person Tsunade is talking about.

"Never mind where I got the money, where's my necklace?"

Tsunade pressed for details, saying she hadn't seen Kisame wearing that crystal necklace.

"Didn't you say it has a death curse? I'm not stupid, why would I keep something like that around? Of course I'll find a place to hide it."

Kisame was telling a lie with a straight face.

"Where did you hide it? Tell me!"

Tsunade panicked and moved closer to Kisame.

"Hidden in a place you'll never find," Kisame said meaningfully, spreading his hands and deliberately waving his right palm in front of Tsunade.

"You bastard."

Tsunade stood on tiptoe, grabbed Kisame's collar with both hands, and glared at him angrily.

Kisame didn't tolerate her either. With two sharp "slaps," he grabbed Tsunade's arms from both sides with his two large hands, his explosive sword tattoos lit up, and his sewing index finger seemed ready to move.

Tsunade's expression immediately changed, because she had experienced the power of Thread Release and Explosion Release.

Just then.

"Lady Tsunade, Mr. Kisame, time to start filming!"

Not far away, Director Yamamoto shouted to the two of them. Beside him, Prince Fuji was pale and weak, clearly not fully recovered.

Upon hearing this, Kisame released his grip on Tsunade's wrists and took a step back.

"I'll settle the score with you later!"

Tsunade snorted and turned to leave.

Today's filming didn't go very smoothly because neither the male nor female lead were in the right frame of mind.

One was listless, the other was absent-minded.

Kisame, the villain, was quite energetic. Seeing this, director Yamamoto simply changed the shooting schedule on the spot and added several more scenes featuring Kisame.

The last scene of the day is an important plot point.

The gist of the story is that during the initial clash between the good and evil sides, the main villain Kisame defeats the male protagonist, Fuji, and kidnaps the female protagonist, Tsunade, right in front of him.

This scene serves as a setup for the climax where the male protagonist later unleashes his full power and single-handedly infiltrates the enemy headquarters to rescue the female protagonist.

"Oh!"

Kisame used a summoning technique to summon a large shark that was seven or eight meters long. He leaped onto the shark's back and floated on the surface of the water.

Tsunade also stepped onto the water's surface and came aboard the fish's back.

Before filming began.

Tsunade took a deep breath and, adopting a humble tone, said to Kisame:

"I apologize to you, what will it take for you to return my crystal necklace?"

If force doesn't work, try a softer approach. She's determined not to give up and is determined to get her necklace back.

74. A Shocking Change Hidden in the Fog

This was the first time Kisame had ever seen Tsunade so humble.

He thought for a moment and replied:

"After thinking about it, that thing is really useless to me. How about this, leave the necklace with me as collateral, and I'll return it to you for free after filming this movie. But until then, don't bother me all the time, that's my condition."

"...Okay, it's a deal."

Tsunade hesitated before agreeing.

After all, she really had no way to deal with Kisame, so she had no choice but to trust him this once.

Filming begins.

"You can't even protect one woman, yet you want to protect this beach?"

Kisame stood on the back of a shark, looking down at the kneeling Fuji-kun on the shore, and uttered this sarcastic line.

Then, as instructed by the director, he gave a wicked smile and put his arm around Tsunade beside him.

Tsunade gasped and instinctively struggled, but in the process, she ended up having more physical contact with Kisame.

Suddenly.

At such close range.

Looking at Kisame's sharply defined profile and smelling his masculine scent, she inexplicably blushed.

A woman in her thirties is at the age where she is most sexually active, and no matter how celibate she is, she will sometimes be unable to resist the restlessness in her heart.

"Can you stop moving around?" Kisame was dissatisfied with Tsunade's performance, believing that she was deliberately not cooperating.

"Crack!"

Director Yamamoto, holding a megaphone, shouted to Tsunade, "Lady Tsunade, you can't blush! That'll just make it look wrong. You should be sad and tearful, and call out your lover's name with deep affection!"

It's important to understand that this is a touching and pure love story, not a Cuckold movie.

There were no victims or blond-haired people involved.

So, we had to do it all over again.

This time, Tsunade's acting was barely passable.

"Young master, you've worked hard."

After filming ended, Director Yamamoto personally helped Fuji Kimi up from the ground.

Fuji-kun's gaze was somber as he watched Kisame's retreating figure leave the set.

He had to finish this movie, become a screen star, and prove himself to his father. Otherwise, he would have no choice but to go home and inherit his vast fortune.

Therefore, even though he was increasingly annoyed with Kisame, he could only endure it for the time being.

Time flies like an arrow.

Half a month passed like this.

That day, after the film crew finished shooting, it was already very late, and night had fallen.

Kisame was walking home when he suddenly heard a "whoosh" sound coming from a side alley.

He followed the sound and saw a short man, about a meter tall, wearing a cloak and a straw hat, leap out of the darkness and appear in front of him.

It's Hozuki Full Moon.

"Why are you here?" Kisame asked.

Hozuki Mangetsu stretched his body out of the alley, looked around to make sure no one was around, and then stretched out two soft little hands from his cloak to take off the huge triangular hat.

The true form of the white slime, revealing two eyes and a large mouth, is revealed.

Then, he hurriedly said to Kisame, "Boss, something terrible has happened! Something's happened in the village! The Third Mizukage... he's dead!"

Oh?

Kisame frowned and made a downward gesture: "Don't panic, speak slowly."

"It's like this..."

Hozuki Mangetsu quickly told Kisame what had happened in the past two weeks.

original.

After the Third Mizukage returned to the village, he acted very strangely and disappeared for several days, with no one knowing where he went.

When he returned, he was already critically injured and died in his hospital bed two days later.

Upon hearing this, Kisame fell into deep thought.

He guessed that the Third Mizukage must have discovered that he was being manipulated by the Sharingan, and based on the clues, he found the mastermind, Uchiha Madara, but was no match for him and died at Madara's hands.

In the original work, the time and cause of death of this Mizukage were not explained, and he simply disappeared without a trace.

Now it seems that it was most likely Madara Uchiha who did it.

Thinking of this, Kisame looked at Hozuki Mangetsu and gave him a meaningful word of advice:

"Although the Third Mizukage was your teacher, you'd better not investigate his death any further. Just pretend it never happened. Otherwise, you might face death. Do you understand?"

"I see."

Hozuki Mangetsu shuddered, and the liquid on his body flowed like waves.

What's the situation in the village now?

Kisame was silent for a moment, then asked again.

He quickly learned from Hozuki Mangetsu's words—

Elder Yuanshi took charge of the overall situation and kept the news of the Third Mizukage's death a secret. He only released the news within a small circle of Kirigakure's higher-ups, saying that the Third Mizukage was unwell and intended to abdicate in the near future.

In other words, Kirigakure needs a new Fourth Mizukage.

The news sparked a turbulent undercurrent.

Currently, the three individuals who have joined the competition are Suigetsu Hozuki, Yagura Karatachi, and the owner of the Hozuki clan's twin swords, Hiramekarei.

Based on this information and his memories of the original work, Kisame did a simple analysis.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, it's highly likely that Yagura Karatachi will ultimately become the Fourth Mizukage.

Yagura Karatachi was an extremely powerful and talented ninja. This is evidenced by his ability to become a perfect Jinchuriki.

In addition, the Karatachi family behind Yagura is also a powerful and deeply rooted family in Kirigakure.

His appearance and personality made him much more popular in the village than the other two.

These three advantages are the reasons why Yagura Karatachi was able to become the Mizukage.
