Kawasaki placed a palm on the female mist ninja, and the dark four-symbol mark shrank back into his hand.
The female ninja instantly regained her mobility.
"Where are you taking me?"
The female Mist Ninja could tell that the guy in front of her was not one of the people from Konoha.
Kawasaki has deactivated his transformation technique and is still dressed in his Land of Wind outfit.
He was also wearing a large gray cloak and a straw hat.
Kawasaki took off his straw hat and threw it aside, revealing his true face.
Despite Kawasaki's minor fame, his portrait is not ubiquitous.
Therefore, the female ninja did not recognize him.
Where I take you? That's up to you.
Kawasaki slightly raised his chin.
"What do you mean?"
"Do you hate Kisame Hoshigaki for killing you?"
The female mist ninja's expression subtly changed, as if she had thought of something. She sat down by the campfire with her knees drawn up, her eyes somewhat vacant.
"For ninjas like us, obedience is our duty. If you don't save me, I will also die."
"What is there to complain about?"
"Tsk tsk..."
Kawasaki clicked his tongue with interest, remarking that sometimes fate is truly wondrous.
Kisame Hoshigaki never expected to encounter such a woman.
"I'm very interested in Kisame Hoshigaki. I think he's a talented person and I want to recruit him. Can you help me persuade him?"
Kawasaki greatly admired Kisame Hoshigaki, who spent his life pursuing peace and yearning for a better life.
Ultimately, he even sacrificed himself, summoning sharks to devour him in order to preserve intelligence.
If possible, Kawasaki hopes to change everything...
The female mist ninja was somewhat surprised, pointing to herself in disbelief: "Me?"
Kawasaki understood why she was surprised.
He explained, "Believe it or not, if I hadn't saved you, Kisame Hoshigaki would have remembered your death for the rest of his life."
The female ninja stared wide-eyed in surprise, then her cheeks flushed.
She hurriedly covered her face: "How could this be?"
"Besides, Brother Hoshigaki wouldn't betray Kirigakure."
Hey girl, are you alright? Didn't Kisame just stab you?
Why do you still seem so devoted to him?
Brother Hoshigaki, will you become Brother Kisame next time?
In Kawasaki's eyes, this kind of fate was simply like the God of Love welding the two of them together with steel bars.
Kawasaki said helplessly, "Don't worry about this. Your Fourth Mizukage has been controlled by the enemy using genjutsu. Kirigakure is finished."
"What...?"
The female ninja, who had been blushing just a moment ago, suddenly stood up upon hearing the news.
Kawasaki casually tossed the scroll he had already read to her.
The woman, Wu Ren, took a look.
"This is our cipher department's route map!"
The female mistress was shocked; they were on a top-secret mission.
Before they even left the Land of Water, the information was leaked.
Kawasaki shrugged: "The one who betrayed your information was the controlled Mizukage."
The female ninja was struck hard.
"The tyranny of the Water Shadow over the years!"
Kawasaki nodded, confirming, "Yes, it was the person who controlled him who did it."
"Really...really?"
The female ninja's voice trembled slightly.
Kawasaki chuckled and said, "What good would it do me to lie to you?"
Despite being somewhat disheveled, the female Mist Ninja, an elite member of the Cipher Department, began to think as she worked.
Back then, the Fourth Mizukage seemed to have changed overnight.
The village's management became extremely harsh, with families possessing bloodline limits being ruthlessly suppressed.
Many of the elite Kirigakure ninja either died or fled.
Even the once-renowned "Demon Man"
Zabuza also defected not long ago.
It seems that this is most likely true.
A sudden wave of desolation washed over the female Mist Ninja. In the past two years, all her relatives and friends had perished in this bloody Mist Ninja coup.
But little did anyone know, it was all just a scam.
"What's your name?"
The female ninja looked up at Kawasaki, her expression rather dejected: "My name is Kyoko, Kurita Kyoko."
Do you still have family?
Kawasaki asked casually.
Apricot gently shook her head.
Kirigakure was originally a village that produced many talented ninjas, but Obito's actions caused it to lose countless elites.
"That's perfect. You can help me persuade Kisame, and then you can both work for me. People from the same hometown can also take care of each other."
Kawasaki felt like one of those coal mine owners who tricked people into working illegally.
I originally planned to test the sand pad's effect first, but now I'm stuck with a "burden" (something I don't know), so I'll have to wait until the time is right to try it out.
.....
Kisame Hoshigaki walked towards the village with a somewhat bewildered expression.
He had to protect his fellow villagers as they carried out their missions, but he also had to kill them with his own hands when they faced arrest.
Kisame's life was extremely difficult, as he played the role of a guardian.
On one hand, there was the executioner carrying out the death sentence, and his worldview was completely distorted.
And Kyoko Kurita, the woman I only had a brief encounter with.
His dying words were: "May 5.4th, your life must have been very hard."
This sentence caused Kisame Hoshigaki's mental state to begin to collapse.
In this hypocritical ninja world, the so-called outstanding ninjas are nothing more than murderers who betray their comrades.
They are willing to give their lives for the village, yet they cannot find their own stance.
Kisame Hoshigaki wandered alone, and before he could return to report, he was unfortunately intercepted on his way.
"You are one of the subordinates of the Watermelon Mountain Fugu Demon."
The Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi, appeared on the road that Kisame Hoshigaki would inevitably pass through.
"Lord Mizukage, I am Kisame Hoshigaki."
Kisame Hoshigaki bowed respectfully.
Since his assassination attempt a few years ago, Yagura Karatachi has rarely made public appearances and is exceptionally strict with his subordinates.
I never expected to meet you here today.
"Your superior, Suigetsu Hozuki, is colluding with an enemy country and has leaked intelligence."
"What...?!"
Kisame Hoshigaki was greatly shocked.
The man who ordered me to kill my comrades to prevent the intelligence from being leaked actually sold the intelligence to the enemy country himself.
Yagura said with a cold expression, "Suikyouyama Fuguki is extremely cunning. Only you have a chance to get close to him."
"Kill him the moment you get the chance!"
Kisame Hoshigaki mechanically agreed.
"Yes, Lord Mizukage."
After giving the order, Yagura coldly left.
Kisame Hoshigaki stood there for a long time, then looked up and continued walking towards the village.
.....
Inside Kirigakure Village.
After reporting to Mei Terumi, Kyoko Kurita handed over the scroll of documents in her hand.
After reading it, Terumi Mei's face turned ashen.
After all, no one can easily accept the fact that their village leader has been controlled by illusions.
"Please come in, Mr. Kawasaki."
Mei Terumi rubbed her temples. No wonder the Mizukage hasn't made any public appearances in recent years, especially in places where Ao has been.
