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

Tsunade nodded, unsuspecting. After all, the Fuji Prince wasn't her employer, so it wasn't her place to worry about him.

Not to mention, she also really disliked that guy.

Tsunade simply waved to a hotel staff member, signaling them to come and exchange the coins from the slot machine for bills. During this time, she said with a disdainful expression:

"That guy came up to me with a bottle of expensive wine, trying to pick me up and even wanted to invite me to a secret rendezvous on the hotel rooftop. He was really overestimating himself! After I rejected him without hesitation, he went upstairs with a dark face."

Thank you.

Kisame got the information he wanted, then walked straight into the elevator and pressed the button to go to the rooftop.

One minute later.

Prince Fuji leaned against the rooftop railing, drinking alone in the evening breeze, his cold eyes surveying the masses on the streets of the seaside town.

Just then, footsteps came from behind Fuji-kun.

"Is everything taken care of?"

He didn't turn around, but asked calmly.

"It's all done, now we just need you," a voice said.

Upon hearing this, the young master Fuji was startled and turned around abruptly.

He sobered up instantly.

Instead of two Jonin bodyguards, Kisame Hoshigaki, who should have been dead at that moment, appeared before him.

How can this be? !

Two elite Jonin from the Land of Fire, who had served as members of the Twelve Guardian Ninjas, were unable to defeat a Chunin from the Hidden Mist Village who had only recently been promoted.

This was a situation that Fuji no Koji had never anticipated.

What do you want?

He calmed down and shouted at Kisame.

He was a nobleman from the Fuji family, whose influence was strong in the five great nations. He had power, status, and money. How could he possibly be intimidated by a ninja?

however.

Before Fuji-kun could finish speaking, Kisame, who had been several meters away just moments before, was suddenly right in front of him.

Looking down at him from above.

Kisame raised his right index finger and placed the icy fingertip on Fuji's forehead, instantly making the latter's hair stand on end.

"How dare you..." Young Master Fuji wanted to say something more.

But the next second, Kisame shot out his sewing needle-like index finger, piercing through the latter's brain.

With a bang.

Prince Fuji fell to the ground, his expression frozen, a mixture of anger, fear, and terror, but mostly astonishment.

He never understood why Kisame dared to kill him, even until his death.

Kisame crouched down and examined Fuji's corpse.

There was one thing he never understood.

Logically speaking, in a world where extraordinary powers exist, the extraordinary beings should be high above and rule over ordinary people.

But in the Naruto world, powerful ninjas willingly obey a group of ordinary daimyo who only know how to play mahjong.

In the original work, Tsunade, the Fifth Hokage, was still humble in front of the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, and was even lectured by the latter to his face, who threatened to destroy Konoha at the slightest disagreement.

Those who are in power and wealthy, being ordinary people, always act arrogantly when facing ninjas.

They don't even have basic respect.

How exactly did this irrational phenomenon come about?

Kisame thought and thought, and the reasons were nothing more than "status", "bloodline" and "origin".

In this world, there is a deeply ingrained and entrenched hierarchy and concept of superiority that has persisted from ancient times to the present.

Faced with the mortal aristocracy who rode on their heads, neither the former samurai nor the ninjas who later replaced them seemed to have considered resisting.

Or even replace it.

But now, times are changing, because Kisame Hoshigaki has arrived.

He would never acknowledge such a ridiculous notion as bloodline theory.

He only recognizes might; whoever has the bigger fist gets to decide.

No matter what your name, wealth, or nobility, do you have the guts to stand in front of me, Kisame Hoshigaki, and take a punch from me?

Kisame picked up the corpse of Prince Fuji.

With a whoosh, he was thrown over the railing and fell off the rooftop.

A few seconds later.

boom!

Prince Fuji fell from the sky in freefall, landing headfirst at the hotel entrance with a dull thud.

The crew members attending the celebration banquet in the lobby were all drawn to the view and turned to look.

After a moment of silence.

As the identity of the deceased was confirmed, chaos and uproar erupted in the crowd.

"Most of his head was smashed..."

Shizune examined Fuji's body, frowning as she muttered, "In this state, even a god couldn't save him."

Tsunade came over and took a look. Sure enough, her hemophobia had flared up again. Shizune quickly helped her to the side and she lay down on the sofa to rest.

Just then.

Kisame stepped out of the elevator and rushed to the scene with a solemn expression.

"hateful."

He slammed his fist on a nearby pillar, saying with a look of self-reproach, "I am Prince Fuji's bodyguard, and I should have protected him, but I failed in my duty. I must return to Kirigakure immediately to accept my punishment."

"Kisame-san, what exactly is going on?"

Director Yamamoto, who was standing nearby, snapped out of his daze and quickly pulled Kisame aside to ask him why. Judging from Kisame's expression, he clearly knew why the young master Fuji had fallen from the building.

Kisame glanced at Tsunade, sighed, and then slowly spoke:

"When Fuji was rejected by Lady Tsunade after confessing his love, he went to the rooftop to drink alone. In a moment of despair, he jumped off the building and committed suicide. Unfortunately, I was too late. Alas."

He hadn't finished speaking.

"puff!"

Tsunade, who was drinking water to calm herself down, suddenly spat it out, choked herself, and coughed incessantly.

How can this be blamed on her?

Tsunade wasn't stupid. As soon as Kisame said those words, she knew that he must have killed Fuji and was now trying to frame her.

She braced herself, ready to confront Kisame in a fit of rage.

He stepped forward first, grabbed Tsunade's wrist, and whispered in her ear:

"Lady Tsunade, Prince Fuji's two bodyguards are dead. Once the autopsies are performed, they'll find the high-grade sleeping potion you concocted in their blood, which will be very disadvantageous for you. I saw their bodies at the nightclub on the next street; you'd better go and deal with it quickly."

Upon hearing this, Tsunade's eyes widened in surprise.

"Dried persimmon, oni, shark!"

She gritted her teeth and roared angrily, her rage at Kisame even overpowering her hemophobia. A powerful gust of air erupted from her body, shattering the surrounding tiles.

Seeing that things were not going well, Kisame retreated rapidly before Tsunade's punch could land, and then used the Body Flicker Technique repeatedly.

In the blink of an eye, they vanished without a trace.

81. Fleeing overnight

on the way home.

Kisame realized that although he had disguised Fuji's death as suicide and deliberately framed Tsunade, forcing her to clean up his mess.

But the truth will come out sooner or later.

So, after returning to the seaside villa, he immediately explained the situation to the Snow Woman and instructed her to quickly pack her things, take the child, and prepare to flee.

The two left the seaside town overnight.

The next day, Kisame and Yuki-onna disguised themselves and went to another town, where they rented a secluded courtyard to stay.

Kisame bought a large amount of supplies in town and stored them at his temporary residence. Then, using his Explosion Release and Line Release techniques, he set up a large number of traps around the yard.

After doing all this, he instructed the Snow Woman, "Wait for me here for a few days. I need to go back to Kirigakure."

"Yes, Bai and I won't go anywhere. We'll stay here and wait for you to come back."

The snow woman nodded seriously, grasped one of his large hands with both of hers, and said with a worried look in her eyes, "Mr. Kisame, you must be careful."

"Do not worry."

Kisame smiled at her, then turned and left the courtyard.

……

Two days later.

Kisame returned to Kirigakure.

The first thing he did after returning to the village was not to report to the Water Shadow Building, but to notify Hozuki Mangetsu and ask him to come see him.

A wooden house by the river, Kisame's home.

"Boss, you're finally back!"

As soon as Hozuki Mangetsu entered the room, he took off his cloak and hat, revealing his white slime form, and began to act out a crying scene while hugging Kisame's leg.
