Kisame stared at Tsunade as he said:

"You are the one who got the half of the Nine-Tails, and you deserve the most credit, don't you? I said I wanted to pay you, so I won't break my word."

"Aren't you afraid... that I would away?"

Tsunade smiled as she asked, "Or do you want to use this half nine tails to completely tie me to Kirigakure?"

"At least you are still a ninja of Kirigakure, aren't you? Don't worry, I am different from Konoha here. If I can't keep you, it means that Kirigakure is not good enough."

Kisame smiled and promised Tsunade generously.

However, what he didn't expect was that even though he offered such attractive conditions, Tsunade still shook her head in the end.

"I refuse. As for the so-called remuneration, I don't need it either."

Tsunade said decisively, indicating that Kisame doesn't need to persuade her anymore.

"Why?" Kisame was puzzled. He gave Tsunade half of the Nine-Tails, and she had no reason to refuse.

"Because, I've been thinking about one thing recently, and that is...whether or not I should become Katsuyu's Jinchuriki, to help it leave the Shikkotsu and be free."

Tsunade blinked at Kisame, and said seriously, "If I become a Nine-Tails Jinchuriki man, it means that I can no longer help Katsuyu, right?"

After she finished speaking, she laughed, turned around and walked away leaving a astonished look on Kisame's face.

Kisame watched Tsunade walk away, and it took a long time for him to come back to his senses.

'Was what this woman said just now an excuse for refusing to be the Nine-Tailed Jinchuriki, or was it a smoke bomb deliberately set to make fun of me?

She isn't be serious, right?'

Thinking of this, Kisame became terrified.

After he calmed down, he vowed to himself that he would never let Tsunade approach Katsuyu again. No matter what tricks she has, Kisame will not let her succeed.

Now back to the question of the candidate of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

Although Tsunade is the ideal candidate in Kisame's heart, he also considered the situation that she would refuse, so he also prepared a second candidate.

That person is... Kimimaro.

As the last genius of the Kaguya clan, Kimimaro's aptitude is beyond doubt. Being able to be properly trained by Orochimaru in the anime with the curse of the earth, and selected as a reincarnation container, it is enough to illustrate Kimimaro's for value.

In fact, as far as Kisame knows, like the Uzumaki and the Senju clan, the Kaguya clan and the Konoha's Hyuga clan are also distant relatives, and the ancestor of the two clans is the younger brother of the Sage of Six Paths - Otsutsuki Hamura.

Therefore, Kimimaro is also a descendant of Sage, and in terms of blood, he is no worse than Naruto Uzumaki.

It is a pity that Kimimaro died early in the anime due to his blood disease.

Since the Kekkei Genkai of the Kaguya clan is very similar to Otsutsuki Kaguya's "All- Killing Ash Bones", Kisame speculates that—

The so-called blood disease is probably because the Kaguya clan cannot bear the toxicity of the Ash Bones, so it has caused a backlash against themselves.

As long as a problem is found, there is hope for a solution.

If Kimimaro can also be like Tsunade, his body strengthened to the extent that it is closer to the Otsutsuki clan, then his blood disease can be cured without treatment.

At that time, Kimimaro will be able to have a good fight with Naruto Uzumaki.

Kisame is very optimistic about Kimimaro. This guy has a strong and calm personality, which can be said to be the opposite of Naruto, who is naughty and lively.

The future fight between these two will be very exciting.

After confirming the candidates for the Jinchuriki of the major tailed beasts, it is time to take action.

A month later.

In the dead of night, most of the villagers in Kirigakure are asleep, and the village was completely silent.

However, in those dark corners that cannot be seen, at intervals, there are the Kiri Anbu patrolling and standing guard, fully alert.

Under such strict guard, any disturbance inside or outside the village could not be concealed from Anbu's eyes.

Such strict guards is said to be very rare in Kirigakure in the past two years, and the reason is very simple—

In a secret room in the village, the sealing ceremony of Jinchuriki is going on.

In the room, Terumi Mei, Gaara, and Temari, from left to right, lay flat on three operating tables in turn, with their eyes closed and are asleep.

Their clothes were lifted up, revealing their abdomens, which had been engraved with dark seal technique patterns, emitting bursts of black light.

This means that the six-tails, the one-tail, and the seven-tails have entered the three bodies respectively.

After a period of observation, their breathing was steady, their chests rose up and down, and all vital signs were normal—this showed that the implantation of the tailed beasts went smoothly.

"Everyone, you've worked hard."

Kisame turned around and thanked everyone who participated in the operation.

In addition to him, Sheji and Tsunade, as well as several confidants of the two to assisted in this operation.

The whole process was carried out smoothly.

"Only the nine tails is left."

Sheji smiled as she licked her lips. Over the years, whenever she felt excited and anticipating, she would subconsciously lick her lips with her tongue.

"So, who is the candidate for the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki?"

Tsunade wiped the sweat from her forehead and asked as she stared at Kisame. The identity of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki has been kept secret, even she and Sheji don't know.

"Let the others go out first."

Kisame gave an order, and when there were only three people left in the room, he said to the two, "Follow me."

As soon as he finished speaking, he walked to the wall and pushed it, opening the secret door of another secret room.

There, the floor of the entire secret room was covered with complex sealing techniques, illuminated by the candlelight in the room. In the middle of the ritual hall, Kimimaro with short white hair lay there quietly, sleeping soundly.

"It turned out to be this little guy..."

After Tsunade and Sheji recognized Kimimaro, they both showed a surprised look. Obviously, this person was chosen beyond their expectations.

"Is there anything special about this kid?"

Tsunade asked curiously. Because she knew that Kimimaro was the choice after she rejected the Kisame.

This shows that in Kisame's eyes, Kimimaro's's future potential is not much worse than hers.

"That little guy seems to belong to the Kaguya clan. Although his Kekkei Genkai is not bad, isn't it a bit sloppy as the candidate of the Nine tails Jinchuriki?"

Sheji hesitated for a while, but still raised her objection.

From her point of view, Kimimaro may find it difficult to withstand the chakra of the Nine-Tails, he can't harness and exert the power of the Nine-Tails.

"He's still very weak and unremarkable. But trust me, one day in the future, Kimimaro will surprise you."

Kisame looked mysteriously at them and didn't reveal much. Then he urged the two of them to work together with him to complete the final and most difficult nine-tail sealing.

Around dawn.

The operation was finally completed, and the huge chakra of the nine tails was stuffed into Kimimaro's small body, which made the sleeping little guy frown, as if he had a nightmare.

"You go back to rest first. By the way, only the three of us know about Kimimaro being the Nine tails Jinchuriki, so keep it a secret."

Kisame instructed the two, and after watching them leave the secret room, he turned around and stared at the sleeping Kimimaro.

The current Kimimaro is indeed too fragile. If the nine tails deliberately tossed in his body, it may take the life of this kid at any time.

So, Kisame put his hand on Kimimaro's abdomen and let his consciousness enter the latter's body, ready to beat the nine tails.

In the dark space, Kisame and the nine tails looked at each other across an iron fence.

"Human, I will take my revenge sooner or later."

Nine tails grabbed the iron fence with its pair of claws, and let out a low growl at Kisame, and it could be heard that its heart was full of hatred and anger.

As the strongest tailed beast, it was forcibly divided into two. At this time, he felt weaker than ever before, and all of this was due to the man in front of him.

"Don't be rude, you are not qualified to threaten me, understand?"

Kisame said lightly, obviously not paying attention to the nine tails.

"Human, you are so arrogant, so arrogant that you don't know how much weak you are."

Kyuubi narrowed his eyes and said slowly to Kisame, "You do have some strength, but compared with the Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara back then, you are still a bit worse. However, even those two people cannot escape death, but I am immortal, so I you human beings are ants to me."

"I agree with some of your views."

To Kyuubi's suprise, Kisame nodded, agreeing with some of its remarks.

"In this world, there is nothing more important than living a long life, and this is one of the goals I have always pursued."

Kisame sat on the ground with crossed legs, and stared at the nine tails, as if he was chatting with an old friend, "You are right. No matter how powerful a human being is, it will only last for decades, as their lifespan is too short. It is short-lived and easy to be killed life. Unlike you, even if you are killed, you can be reborn in the wild and have almost eternal life, because your essence is a mass of chakra, a kind of energy body."

"Oh? Human, it seems that you have done a lot of research on tailed beasts."

Kyuubi couldn't help being surprised when he heard these words, but then he snorted and laughed, "But, even if you know the secret of the tailes beast, what can you do? You can never be like me."

"You think too highly of yourself, Nine Tails."

Kisame shook his head and calmly revealed the biggest secret about Kyuubi, "Hundreds of years ago, the Sage of Six Path sealed the Juubi's body on the moon, and divided its chakra into nine parts, which then created nine-tailed beasts. And you demon fox is just a part of the ten-tailed chakra, am I right?"

"You, what did you say?!"

Hearing that, Kyuubi grabbed the iron fence with his claws, and his pair of demon fox eyes stared at Kisame, terrified to the extreme.

Kisame is right.

The Sage of Six Paths created the nine tailed beasts and stored them in his bodies, the original Jinchuriki.

During his lifetime, he founded the Ninshu and traveled around the world with a group of apprentices to restore the desolate land affected by the Ten tails.

During this process, as long as a suitable place for releasing the tailed beast is found, the Sage of Six Paths will build an ancestral hall there to the tailed beast.

Kyuubi still remembers that when it was a little fox, the Sage of Six Paths released it and the other eight tailed beasts one day, made them form a circle, called their names one by one, and said:

"My time is numbered. Remember, you will always be together, even if you are on separate sides, and one day you will be one, with your own names and who you once were. Unlike when you were in me, you will get the right guidance to understand what real power is."

At that time, the Nine Tails, apart from crying because of the death of the Sage of Six Paths, was ignorant and did not have a deep understanding of the words left by the latter before his death.

Until now, after being reminded by Kisame, the nine tails suddenly remembered.

Nine tails only know that it was created by the Sage of the Six Paths, and has always been proud of it, believing that he is unique and a great creature above mortals.

But now it has learned that it and the other eight-tailed beasts are actually only part of a guy named "Ten-tails", which was separated from its body by the Sage of the Six paths.

This terrifying fact overturned all of its cognition of himself, which is why it was so shocked.

After a while, it calmed down a little and asked Kisame sharply:

"How did you know this? Do you think I would believe this kind of lie that sounds like it's made up?"

"Believe it or not, I'm just telling the truth." Kisame looked at Kyuubi with a half-smile with his hands spread.

Nine tails was very reluctant to believe in Kisame, but if what the man in front of him said is false, why can his words match the last words of the Sage of Six Path when he is about to die?

Those last words are known only to the nine-tailed beasts.

"Tell me, what exactly is the ten tails, and who are you?" Thinking of this, the nine tails continued to ask Kisame.

"None of that matters now."

Kisame was too lazy to answer Nine-Tails' question, he stood up from the ground and said to i, "You just need to know that I will become a creature as powerful as Ten-Tails, or even better than Ten-Tails. At that time, you will understand that it is not me that is small, but you, the demon fox."

Kisame's ambition once again shocked the nine tails, but it didn't believe that Kisame could do it, so it disdainfully said: "With just you?"

"What you see now is just a clone of me. My real body is sleeping somewhere in the ninja world at this time. It draws an incomparably huge amount of energy, and when it wakes up after completing its final evolution, It will become the second ten tails like creature in the world."

Kisame exuded strong confidence, and while speaking, the phantom of a behemoth quietly appeared behind him.

That is…

Kyuubi's pupils shrank immediately. It saw a phantom of a strange creature with a whale body, shark fins, eagle wings, and dragon tail. The other party obviously had no substantial power, but it exuded a terrifying coercion, like the king of beasts roaring in the forest.

And it seems to have become an ordinary fox, waiting for its fate to be preyed on by tigers and reduced to its food.

At this moment, the hair on Kyuubi's body stood up, and a cold chill permeated its whole body, from tails to head.

It has never been so afraid in its life.

It wasn't until this moment that Nine Tails finally realized that what Kisame said just now was definitely not ignorant self-bragging, but something he was about to do.
