A strong thunderbolt from the envoy paralysed them.

Kakashi held on and looked up at the man in front of him in horror. His strength is simply unfathomable.

"Do you still need proof?"

The man folded his arms and looked down at the embarrassed Konoha ninja, showing a playful smile.

This man is none other than Kisame himself, who disguised himself with the transformation technique. After all, there are many experts in Konoha. If he wants to successfully kidnap Hinata, instead of being killed like the envoy in the anime, it is naturally the safest for Kisame to take action himself.

"I'm sorry, lord messenger, it was us who offended you just now."

After confirming his identity, Kakashi bowed. Because he knew that Kumogakure and Kirigakure had a high probability of forming an alliance, the situation was very unfavorable for Konoha.

Whether it is Raikage or Tsunade, they are characters that Konoha can't afford to offend.

Under such circumstances, signing a peace treaty with Kumogakure is the most important thing for Konoha, and there is no room for loss.

"Forget it, I have a lot to do, so I don't care about you."

Kisame waved his hand, his eyes flashed, and he instructed Kakashi, "In order to complete the task entrusted by Raikage-sama I have been rushing for three days non-stop, and now I am tired and hungry, quickly find me a place to eat and sleep."

"This is natural, you have worked hard lord envoy."

Kakashi hearing that made a gesture of invitation, "Please come with me, we have prepared a hotel for you, with food and hot water."

Kisame followed Kakashi and walked towards the village.

'Um?'

Not long after he entered the village, he felt a peeping gaze, he glanced calmly and suddenly found a figure hidden on the corner of the street, who was watching his every move.

It's Uchiha Fugaku.

Fugaku's eyes were deep, he slowly stepped back, and soon disappeared into the darkness.

'It seems that the patriarch of Uchiha can't wait to save his son?'

Kisame retracted his gaze, smiled slightly, and suddenly had an idea in his mind. Maybe, kidnapping Hinata doesn't require him to do it himself, someone can do it for him...

After arriving at the hotel.

"Lord messenger, this is your room. I wish you a good night's sleep. I will come back tomorrow morning and take you to the Hokage building to meet the fifth Hokage."

As Kakashi spoke, he opened the door for Kisame.

"Ah, very good."

Kisame was very satisfied with his accomodation, he strode into the room and immediately closed the door with a "bang".

"What an arrogant guy."

The Konoha Ninja, who was with Kakashi, said with a sullen expression.

"You guys stay here and report to me as soon as this guy makes any movement. Remember, don't confront him head-on, understand?"

Kakashi instructed the two Konoha ninjas with a serious look. The two nodded and stood at the door.

"Shisui, do you have anything to say?"

Kakashi looked at Uchiha Shisui next to him. What made him feel a little strange was that Shisui seemed a little restless today and spoke very little.

"Oh, no. Kakashi, you arranged it very well, I have nothing to add." Shisui came back to his senses and replied.

The two left the hotel together, returned to Hokage's office, and informed Minato of the Kumogakure envoy.

Late at night.

'Splash.'

In the bathroom of the hotel room, there was a sound of water running, as Kisame hummed a song while taking a shower, feeling very relaxed and happy.

"It's really horrible."

At the door, the two Konoha ninjas standing guard frowned and complained, feeling very upset. Obviously, Kisame didn't realize that he was tone-deaf and didn't have the slightest talent for singing.

Just then, there was a sudden sound of footsteps at the end of the corridor.

"Who?"

The two Konoha ninjas became alert, shouted sharply, and pulled out a kunai from their waists on the spot.

In order to receive Kumogakure messenger, all the rooms on this floor were booked, and there was only one guest in the entire floor. No one should be here at this time.

Under the sharp gazes of the two, Uchiha Fugaku walked through the dark corridor and came to the door.

"Fugaku-sama, why are you here?"

The two were stunned for a moment, as they did not expect that the visitor would be the patriarch of the Uchiha clan, the chief of the police force, and Uchiha Fugaku, a member of the Konoha elders.

This is a man second only to Hokage.

"I heard that the Kumogakure messenger arrived, so I went to the police department to recruit some elites. You have worked hard, and the next security shift will be handed over to the police department. After all, this is our responsibility."

After Fugaku said these words, he raised his hand and several Uchiha ninjas from the police force appeared behind him.

"But... we are also ordered to stay here and not leave at will. If something happens to the Kumogakure messenger, we can't bear the responsibility."

Hearing that, the two looked at each other and replied with some embarrassment.

"Why? Are you questioning the capabilities of the police department?"

Fugaku frowned as he stared at the two of them, exuding a suffocating pressure.

Before the two could answer him, his eyes quietly turned into the Sharingan, and they quickly rotated, releasing a wave of power.

The next second, the two Konoha ninjas who were standing guard were shocked, their eyes became dull, obviously they had been hit by an illusion. Immediately, they fell down softly.

"Stay here, no one is allowed to approach. Including Shisui."

Fugaku coldly instructed the Uchiha ninjas behind him.

"Yes." They agreed in unison, watching Fugaku open the door and walk into the hotel room.

The sound of water in the bathroom gradually decreased until it stopped completely. Then, after a rustling sound, Kisame walked out of the bathroom with nothing but a bath towel.

"Who are you?"

After seeing Uchiha Fugaku, he first pretended to be surprised, and then said with dissatisfaction, "I thought Konoha would arrange two beautiful kunoichi to entertain me and spend the night with me, why is there a man here with a a stinky face? It's really bad luck."

After speaking, he sat down on the sofa opposite Fugaku and stared at him with a provocative gaze.

"I'll only give you one chance to answer my question. Where is Itachi Uchiha?"

Fugaku looked at Kisame with a blank expression, as his Sharingan spun menacingly, making people dare not look directly at him.

When Kisame heard that, he laughed as he leaned back, cocking his legs, and asked Fugaku with a smile that was not a smile:

"Are you the Hokage, what qualifications do you have to talk to me? Why should I answer your question?"

"That's it."

Fugaku sneered, too lazy to talk nonsense with Kisame, and once again launched the genjutsu via Sharingan.

He himself had awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan, and the pair of Sharingan transplanted later belonged to the Uchiha Kagami. Although it was not comparable to the Mangekyo, with Fugaku's usage, it also reached a state of perfection.

Even a Kage-level powerhouse would not dare to look him in the eyes, otherwise, he would fall into an illusion and be at his mercy.

So when Fugaku found out that the arrogant Kumo messenger in front of him did not evade his gaze, he did not hesitate to launch an illusion, intending to directly control the other party and interrogate Itachi's whereabouts from his mouth.

After that, he will erase the memories of Kumo Ninja and the two Konoha Ninjas at the door, so that when they wake up, they can't remember anything.

This should have been a perfect move.

However, what Fugaku didn't expect was that when he activated the genjutsu, the Kumo messenger sitting on the opposite side had nothing but an inexplicable expression on his face.

"Why are you staring at me so intensely? Do you think staring at me like that can make me scared?"

Kisame sneered unceremoniously.

"…"

Failing to succeed, Fugaku's momentum was suddenly weakened by a lot, his face was blue and white, and he was speechless.

Half an hour later.

"You... make an offer. Itachi Uchiha, who was taken away by Kumogakure...is my son. What do you want to let him go?"

Fugaku finally realized that the Kumogakure messenger in front of him was not a soft persimmon that he could handle, and his strength was above him.

Therefore, for the sake of his son, he could only humble himself and make a request to the other party.

"It turns out that you are here for this, you should have said so earlier."

Kisame acted as if he suddenly realized, pretended to think for a while, and then responded with some embarrassment, "Before I set off, Raikage-sama did tell me that if in this trip Kumogakure and Konoha successfully signed a peace treaty, it is not impossible to consider releasing Uchiha Itachi, but…"

"But what?"

Fugaku asked quickly.

"However, I'm not going to let Uchiha Itachi go, especially after you broke into my room in the middle of the night and tried to threaten me. In fact, when I meet the Hokage tomorrow, I plan to tell him what happened tonight. Because I am very curious about how he will react. In addition, because of such an unpleasant thing that happened tonight, I will also reconsider whether to agree to Konoha's request and whether it is necessary to sign a peace treaty with you."

Kisame said casually.

Every time he said a word, Fugaku's face became ugly. In the end, the patriarch of the Uchiha clan was covered with cold sweat that oozed from his forehead.

If his attack on Kumogakure messenger tonight is exposed by the other party, it may not only lead to the failure of the peace treaty between the two villages, but also because of his impulse, the Uchiha clan will also face a huge crisis.

Thinking of this, Fugaku's heart was filled with regret. In order to save his son this time, he made a fatal mistake because of ill-consideration.

Seeing Fugaku's expression, Kisame smiled slightly, knowing that he had completely grasped Fugaku.

Next, it is time for him to make conditions.

"Alas, I came here for peace. So, after thinking about it, I decided to give you a chance reluctantly. As long as you do one thing for me, not only will I not tell what happened tonight, but I will also return your son to you."

Kisame looked at Fugaku and raised a finger.

"What do I need to do?"

Fugaku asked hurriedly, as if grabbing a life-saving straw. He knew that he was being manipulated by the other party, but he had no choice.

"Have you heard the name Hinata Hyuga?" Kisame suddenly asked.

"Hinata Hyuga? She is the eldest daughter of the patriarch of the Hyuga clan, the same age as my youngest son Sasuke, who just turned four years old this year."

Fugaku was stunned for a moment, then replied with a frown. At this moment, his intuition has vaguely guessed what the other party wants him to do.

"If you want to save your son Uchiha Itachi, then exchange him with Hyuga Hinata." Kisame said with a smile on his face.

"But, she is the daughter of Hyuga Hiashi..." Fugaku said subconsciously.

"So, is your answer no?" Kisame narrowed his eyes, and the smile on his face disappeared instantly, making Fugaku feel a lot of pressure.

"Why do you want Hyuga Hinata? Is this also what your Raikage wants?" He asked Kisame under pressure.

"You have so many questions, my patience is exhausted."

Kisame shook his head, stood up from the sofa, and then waved his hand under Fugaku's surprised eyes, immediately a dark space door in front of the latter.

Then, Kisame put his hand inside and took out Uchiha Itachi, who was in a coma.

"Itachi!"

Seeing his son, Fugaku's pupils shrank instantly and stood up excitedly.

However, the next second, Kisame threw Itachi back again and closed the door.

"Tomorrow I'm going to see the Fifth Hokage, sign a peace treaty, and I will leave for Kumogakure in the morning at the latest. Before that, you can always take Hyuga Hinata in exchange for your son. But remember, If you don't do that, then when I leave Konoha, this will be the last time you see Uchiha Itachi in your life."

Kisame threatened Uchiha Fugaku with a calm tone.

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly raised a hand and released a strong airflow from the palm of his hand, which shook Fugaku who was caught off guard and flew out.

'Boom.'

Fuyue slammed open the door, and under the surprised eyes of several Uchiha ninjas outside the door, he slammed into the wall of the corridor, like a painting hanging there, slowly sliding down.

With another bang, the hotel door closed automatically.

"Patriarch, what's the matter?" The Uchiha ninjas hurriedly helped Fugaku and asked in surprise.

Fugaku didn't speak, he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and stood up from the ground. Afterwards, he used his Sharingan to erase the memory of the two Konoha ninjas standing guard, and took a deep look at the hotel door.

"Let's go."

He left without looking back.

The Uchiha ninjas looked at each other in dismay. After coming back to their senses, although they were confused, they could only follow the patriarch and leave.

In the room, Kisame lay on the bed, put his arms behind his head, and the corners of his mouth curled up.

Asking Uchiha Fugaku to kidnap Hyuga Hinata will not only keep him out of the way, but also provoke the hatred between Uchiha and Hyuga clan, making Konoha's two giants like fire and water.

One stone two bird.

The fun is about to begin.

The next morning, when Kisame woke up slowly, dressed in a hurry, and walked out of the door, he found that Kakashi was already waiting in the corridor.

"Lord Messenger, did you sleep well last night, were you disturbed?" Kakashi asked respectfully.

"Hahaha, the bed in the hotel is very soft, and I slept soundly. However, it would be more perfect if I had two beautiful chicks to accompany me for the night."

Kisame laughed and walked outside the hotel.

"Lord messenger, wait for me." Kakashi quickly caught up, but before he left, he glanced at the wall directly opposite the door of the room.

The slight cracks on it made Kakashi frown quietly.
