Kisame felt relieved after hearing her promise.

He believed that the "warning" given to Tsunade just now was unforgettable.

Although Yukino was very curious about what happened between the two, she also knew that it would be better not to ask about some things, and it would be better if she acts like she didn't see them.

In contrast, she is more concerned about Kisame.

"Kisame-sama, I'm so happy to see you come back safely." She stepped forward, took Kisame's arm, and rested her head gently on her chest.

"I was in the wrong this time. I was too addicted to training, so I haven't contacted you for so long. I wanted to report that you are safe. You are worried unnecessarily."

Kisame put his arms around Yukino as he touched her hair, and said apologetically.

The two entered the house together.

"Kisame-sama, you must be hungry, I'll go to the kitchen and get you something to eat." Yukino went to get an apron as she spoke.

"I'm became hungry when you said that."

Kisame touched his stomach, and the corner of his mouth suddenly curled up, "But what I want to eat now is not the food you cook, but you."

As soon as he finished speaking, he strode forward, he picked her up and walked into the bedroom.

It was a long night.

Early the next morning, Kisame walked out of the room refreshed and found that Pakura had been waiting quietly in the living room.

He went into the kitchen, put on his apron, and made egg pancakes for breakfast. He first gave one to Yukino, who was resting in the bedroom, then came to the dining table with two plates, and said to Pakura:

"Have you eaten breakfast yet? Let's eat together. It's not too late to talk about anything."

"Yes."

Pakura replied softly, walked to the dining table, and ate food.

After breakfast.

Pakura came to the study room with Kisame, and reported to him the major and minor things that happened in the village in the past six months, as well as important information about the ninja world.

"Um."

While listening, Kisame nodded slowly, and then asked, "How is the situation over the Science Department? Is there any suspicious behavior from Sheji?"

When he left Kirigakure earlier, he specifically told Pakura to monitor Sheji (Orochimaru)'s every move.

"No. In the past six months, she spent most of her time going back and forth between the laboratory and the dungeon. Although she was cruel to those death row inmates and did a lot of human experiments with them, she did not harm other people in the village."

Pakura reported truthfully. Although she was curious about Sheji's origin and identity, she, like Yukino, didn't ask if she knew she shouldn't.

"I see."

Kisame nodded, and then asked Pakura some other things, such as Yamato's current situation, and her own situation.

During this process, Kisame suddenly discovered something strange about Pakura.

"Your hair…"

He noticed Pakura's short green hair, which didn't look like a wig, but was exactly the same color as her hair before she lost her hair.

"My hair is growing back."

Facing Kisame's gaze, Pakura lowered her head and explained with a blushing face, "In the past six months, I have completely assimilated the monster cell in my body. Therefore, I can now control my own power perfectly, and my own fire will not burn my hair now."

"So that's what happened."

Hearing that Kisame was relieved. He originally fed the monster cell to Pakura, hoping to stimulate the potential in her body, so that she would have the power to change her fate.

Later, after the Hozuki Prison Incident, Pakura was rescued by him, and since then she has followed him, which can be considered to have avoided the tragic fate in the anime in disguise.

But now it seems that Pakura is not willing to be mediocre, but has been practicing hard all the time, and unknowingly, she has grown into a Kage-level powerhouse.

Thinking of this, Kisame said to Pakura with some guilt:

"You've worked hard. Since you've been by my side, you've always worked tirelessly and silently, always faithfull and perfectly executed all the tasks I gave you, and never complained. And I, I ignored you. "

"Kisame-sama gave me a second life, and it is my honor to serve you."

Pakura still lowered her head and said.

After a moment of silence.

"If there's nothing else, I'll leave first." Pakura pushed her short hair behind her ears, picked up the Anbu mask on the table, and was about to turn around and leave.

"Wait."

Kisame stopped her and waved to her, "Come here."

"?"

Although Pakura was curious, she still walked towards Kisame. Unexpectedly, as soon as she came to him, Kisame's eyes flashed, and he pulled Pakura into his arms and hugged her.

"What!"

Facing Kisame's unexpected behavior, Pakura subconsciously exclaimed. After the initial panic, though, she didn't try to struggle, but quickly calmed down.

She was lying on Kisame's chest, her face and ears were red, her whole body was tense, and she waited silently with nervousness and anticipation.

It's no secret that she likes Kisame.

However, what happened next did not develop as Pakura imagined.

'Swish.'

A pair of sharp fangs popped out of Kisame's mouth, and then he aimed at her snow-white neck.

"Hiss!"

Pakura sucked in a breath of cold air, and a sharp pain hit her. She felt a huge and strange energy being injected into her body from Kisame's teeth, making her whole body's blood seem to boil.

She subconsciously hugged Kisame, leaving scratches on his back with her hands and fingers, trembling violently, but she endured all the pain without a word.

Because she knew that Kisame must have his reasons for doing this, and most of it is not a bad thing for her.

Fortunately, this severe pain didn't last long, otherwise Pakura would have fainted from the pain.

After a few seconds.

'Puff.'

As Kisame pulled out his teeth from Pakura's body and raised her head, she finally stopped being tormented by the pain, and relaxed all of a sudden, sweating profusely in his arms.

Pakura then fell into a deep sleep.

They stayed like that for a while.

Kisame hugged Pakura and carefully placed her flat on the sofa, then squatted down and looked at her neck

Above Pakura's collarbone, a black flame pattern appeared.

This is the curse mark.

In the anime, the curse mark is a jutsu developed by Orochimaru inspired by the White Snake sage, imitating the latter's method of injecting natural energy into ninjas with fangs.

Simply put, the curse seal is a simplified version of the sage mode.

Although the Orochimaru of this time and space has not yet met Jugo, and developed the curse mark by studying the latter's physique, similar ideas have already sprouted in his heart.

Kisame had previously discussed this issue with Orochimaru, and got a lot of inspiration and data from the latter.

Different from Orochimaru, Kisame is a real sage, and his understanding of the sage mode is higher than the former.

Therefore, during his retreat in the Shikkotsu Forest, with his own abilities and Katsuyu's assistance, he was able to study this Curse mark relatively smoothly.

Now, he gave Pakura the first one as a reward.

The appearance of the curse seal is related to the chakra of the host, so after it fuses with Pakura's chakra, it finally forms a flame pattern.

"Um…"

At this moment, Pakura let out a light hum, slowly opened her eyes, and woke up from unconsciousness.

"How do you feel now?"

Kisame asked with concern, and informed Pakura of the principles, effects, and usage of the curse mark.

"I feel... that Kisame-sama's energy is surging in my body, as if there is life, making me full of vitality, as if there is endless power."

Pakura got up from the sofa, lightly touched the curse mark above her collarbone with her hand, and answered with a look of disbelief.

"What you feel is my sage chakra."

Kisame said with a smile, and instructed Pakura, "Go back to get used to it for a while, and don't worry about it during this period. When you are ready, try to activate it again and see how it works."

His plan was to test it on Pakura first. If the effect of the curse mark is good, then he could select more good seedlings in Kirigakure and inject the curse mark into them one by one.

At that time, Kisame will be able to have a powerful curse mark army.

Kisame has long heard that Konoha sent a lot of ninjas to Mount Myoboku to learn senjutsu in an attempt to build an sage force.

However, no matter how much Mount Myoboku helped Konoha, the rigid requirements for cultivating sages were there, and it was destined that very few people would return after learning.

But the curse mark is different.

Although it can only be regarded as the beggar version of the sage mode, the power is only a fraction of the latter, but it is more universal, even a ninja with ordinary qualifications can use the power of the curse mark.

In the anime, Orochimaru developed many curse marks imitating senjutsu and used them on his disciples or subordinates, and the two most powerful ones were undoubtedly the curse mark of the heaven and the curse mark of the earth.

But in Kisame's eyes, these two curse marks are only half-baked.

As a real sage, with his deep understanding of sage mode and his own huge Chakra, the curse mark he developed is more than one grade stronger than Orochimaru's version.

Kisame named it the curse mark of the Kunpeng.

He has already made a list, including Terumi Mei, Ringo Ameyuri, Yamato, Kimimaro, and Haku. These geniuses from Kirigakure are the second batch of candidates for the Kunpeng's Curse mark after Pakura.

In the future, with the birth, cultivation or absorption of more geniuses, this list will be further expanded until Kisame has created a sage force strong enough to sweep the ninja world.

At that time, he may not need to go into action, Konoha and Akatsuki will be wiped out by this force.

'Huh?'

While Kisame was thinking about the future, he suddenly found that Pakura, who was standing in front of him, seemed a little lost.

"What's wrong with you, is the curse mark making your body uncomfortable?" he asked.

"No, nothing like that Kisame-sama."

Pakura said quickly, then made an excuse and hurriedly withdrew.

Kisame sighed.

He was not the honest person who didn't understand the ways of the world. He is aware of Pakura's feelings, but he hadn't thought about it for a while, so he don't know how to respond appropriately.

'Forget it, I will put this in the back of my mind.'

Kisame stood up and set off to the Kirigakure's Science Department.

Half a year ago, since he appointed Orochimaru as the Head of Science department, the latter moved the entire department building next to the prison in Kirigakure.

The basement of the building is the laboratory, which is directly connected with the prison next door through the tunnel, so that it is convenient to receive death-row inmates at any time.

After Kisame came here, he walked in the dark and cold underground passage, and heard the screams of the prisoner from a distance, which was horrifying.

Walking through the passage and entering the laboratory, he saw Sheji in a white coat and gold-rimmed glasses, who had just finished handling an experimental subject and was carefully washing her hands by the sink.

"Who?"

Several ninjas from the Science Department noticed that a stranger was approaching, and looked at the door one after another, shouting sharply. However, when they found out that the visitor was actually the Mizukage, they immediately looked terrified and quickly bowed and apologized.

"Okay, you all go out, I'm going to talk to Sheji alone for a while."

Kisame waved his hand and said lightly.

"Yes."

Hearing him, they withdrew respectfully.

However, after they left the laboratory, they glanced at each other, and then quietly looked back at Kisame and Sheji, and talked a lot while walking away.

In the eyes of the ninjas in the Science Department, Sheji is not only a talented scientist with knowledge and imagination, but also a beautiful and elegant woman.

This mysterious woman, within half a year of coming to the Science Department, with her knowledge and charm, convinced everyone, and many people secretly admired her.
