"I advise you not to act rashly."

Pakura suddenly appeared behind Yamato with a kunai to his neck. As long as Kisame gave the order, she would take the boy's life.

"Pakura, don't scare the kid, step back."

Kisame waved his hand and instructed Pakura to move back. Pakura silently put away her Kunai and moved to the side.

"You are the fifth Mizukage Hoshigaki Kisame."

After Pakura moved to a corner, Yamato, who had been staring at Kisame, suddenly said, as he finally recognized him.

"That's right, I am Hoshigaki Kisame, and the mysterious person who fought with you in the Land of Rain that day. Welcome to Kirigakure, this is my office."

Kisame spread his hands and admitted generously.

Yamato's expression changed. He knew how terrifying the man in front of him was, as the other party defeated the entire Konohagakure by himself, and indirectly led to Danzo and Orochimaru's defection.

Thinking of this, Yamato clenched his fists and took a deep breath, he then asked Kisame, "Where is Danzo-sama?"

"Yo, what a loyal little guy. At this time, you are still thinking about that old dog, Danzo. Whether it's Orochimaru, who experimented on you, or Danzo, who took you in later, they just treat you as a tool to use, and you can be thrown away at any time. Don't you understand this truth now?"

Kisame persuaded Yamato earnestly, and finally threw an olive branch to the latter, "Forget about your Danzo-sama, and follow me in the future, how about it?"

"Aren't you going to use me as a tool too?"

Yamato said coldly, and asked back on the spot.

Hearing this, Kisame smiled and stood up from the chair. He passed Yamato, patted the latter on his shoulder, and said: "Follow me."

Yamato hesitated for a while, but still followed, wanting to see what kind of chicken soup will Kisame sell him. Besides, he also doesn't have the ability to defy him.

The two walked out of the Mizukage Building and passed through the streets of the Village, and finally came to the back mountain, a wide open space.

"You have successfully transplanted Hashirama cells into your body, and you can use Mokuton. You can be considered a genius. You think that the reason I am recruiting you is to use your Mokuton, right?"

Kisame looked down at Yamato with a smile on his face.

Yamato didn't say a word, but his expression was clearly saying—isn't it?

Kisame became silent, and in front of Yamato, he formed a series of seals and pressed his palm to the ground.

'Rumble.'

In the midst of a loud noise of the ground shaking, a big tree broke out of the ground and grew wildly at an astonishing speed. It grew to a height of 100 meters in just ten seconds, and finally evolved into a wooden golem.

"…"

Yamato was stunned as he stared up at the 100-meter-high wooden golem, and his heart was shocked like never before.

He is too shocked to speak.

"Little devil, see clearly, this is the real Mokuton. Those Mokuton you have mastered, in my eyes, are just kids playing house, and they are useless."

Kisame turned to Yamato and looked down at him, and sneered unceremoniously.

"Then, why..."

Yamato murmured. He didn't understand, since he was just a waste, why didn't Kisame kill him directly but instead spare his life?

"Because I am not a person who kills innocent people. On the contrary, I have always cherished talents the most."

Kisame squatted down and looked at Yamato with a level-headed look, and joked, "Kid, although I can't expect you to be of much use, but by letting you stay in the village, it should be pretty good for you to do greenery and repair houses in the future ."

"…"

Yamato was at a loss for words again, apparently struck by Kisame's words.

"Anyway, I won't force you to stay."

Kisame stood up and patted Yamato on the shoulder again, and instructed him, "You can live in Kirigakure for a while, if you're not used to it and still want to find your Danzo-sama, that's up to you. But if you figure it out, you can also come to me, and I will teach you real Mokuton."

After saying that, Kisame left Yamato, who was looking at him with a surprised face and walked away alone.

He could see that Yamato had darkness in his heart due to the tragic experience in his childhood, so he was controlled by Danzo and worked for the latter.

If the dark thoughts in Yamato's heart can gradually disappear, he will naturally stay and become a member of Kirigakure.

If he still insists on going his own way and joins Danzo again, then the next time they meet, Kisame will no longer appreciate his talents.

He gave Yamato a chance to start over, but only once.

After Kisame left.

Yamato raised his head and looked at the 100-meter-high wooden golem in front of him, and once again deeply felt how small his Mokuton was when compared to Kisame.

As the Chakra escaped, the wooden golem infront of Yamato gradually disappeared, and a path leading to the depths of the woods appeared in his field of vision.

As long as he is willing, he can immediately set foot on this path, escape from Kirigakure, and regain his freedom.

'But what about after that? Do I really want to find Danzo-sama?'

At this moment, Yamato felt a little hesitant in his heart.

Perhaps he was shaken by Kisame's words, or perhaps it was because deep in his heart he was not so determined to be with Danzo.

Although Yamato is young, he is not stupid. He is delicate and sensitive in his heart, and can make judgments on many things like an adult.

In the end, Yamato did not go down the path to the forest after a intense battle in his heart.

He turned around and returned to Kirigakure.

He intends to follow Kisame's advice to stay in this place for a while, think carefully, and sort out his heart. After that, the final decision will be made.

'The issue regarding Yamato can be put aside for now.'

Kisame has not forgotten that there is one more person in his body, Nohara Rin, who has been sleeping the longest. If she doesn't wake up anytime soon, she may really become a vegetable.

Before awakening Nohara Rin, Kisame first found Shizune and to borrow a set of clothes.

"You want my clothes... for what?"

In the room, Shizune who was cornered by Kisame, looked like a frightened little white rabbit. She was very resistant to this unreasonable sudden request made by Kisame.

"Don't be so stingy."

Kisame smiled, bypassed Shizune to open her closet and turned it over.

"Hey, why are your clothes all black and gray, and they're all long shirts and trousers, that's too conservative. Isn't there a pink skirt or something?"

Kisame asked curiously while pulling out a gray ninja suit.

Shizune's face suddenly changed, she trotted over while lowering his head with a blushed and stood in between Kisame and her wardrobe. If he digs down again, he will dig out her underwear.

"Don't worry, I don't want your underwear."

Kisame saw the reason why Shizune was shy, and walked aside with the gray suit.

Under Shizune's puzzled gaze, he urged Chakra again and released a young girl with short brown hair from the Box of Ultimate bliss.

Nohara Rin slowly opened her eyes.

"I...where am I?"

She murmured, feeling confused.

Memories flooded in with a sharp headache.

Nohara Rin suddenly remembered that she was kidnapped by Kirigakure Anbu and was taken to a cave. There, someone planted a restraint in her heart and sealed Three tails into her body.

She was later rescued by a guy in a suit with a shark face, but he took her clothes, leaving her with only underwear and leggings.

After that, he pressed his hand on her shoulder and she was sucked into a mysterious space by an unknown force and fell into a coma.

After realizing it, Rin remembered that the shark face who rescued her was Hoshigaki Kisame from Kirigakure. The other party once came to Konoha to take part in Chunin exam, and he also defeated Obito and won the first place in that exam.

Rin doesn't know how long she was unconscious in the mysterious space but she finally woke up.

After regaining her memory, she rubbed her forehead and raised her head to look around. The next second, she saw Kisame smiling at her.

"It's you!"

She exclaimed, fear appeared on her face, and she curled up subconsciously.

"Don't be afraid, I'm not a pervert. I took your clothes just to use its smell to fool Kakashi and his ninja dogs."

Kisame said helplessly, and threw the clothes in his hand towards Rin.

Shizune, who was on the side widened her eyes as she walked to Nohara Rin's side and squatted down, calling out Rin's name in surprise.

"Are you... Shizune?"

Nohara Rin who quickly recognized Shizune, and also widened her eyes in surprise and delight. The two are about the same age, they knew each other at the ninja school, and they both had dreams of becoming medical ninjas, so they became friends.

Neither of the two girls thought that they would meet again in such a way here.

Kisame came over and crouched down beside Rin, and smiled at her.

"What are you doing?"

Rin shrank back in fear. Shizune, who was beside her summoned up her courage and stared at Kisame, warning him not to mess around.

"Someone planted a seal in your heart, I have to check if it's still there or not."

Kisame then stretched out his hand and pressed it on Rin's chest, passing Chakra into her body, and felt it.

The seal has disappeared.

'Madara Uchiha is indeed dead.'

"Okay, no problem. Congratulations on keeping your life."

After Kisame checked Rin's body, he stood up and instructed Shizune, "You inform her about what happened, I won't disturb you girls anymore. Please dress her well, and I'll let her go. Yukino must have made something to eat."

Kisame then pushed open the door and strode out.

In the room.

"Shizune, what's going on?" Nohara Rin asked with a bewildered look, holding Shizune's shoulders.

"Rin, that's a long story."

Shizune helped Rin up and sat down by the bed. After she helped Rin change her clothes and listed what happened to the latter, she told Rin what happened in the ninja world while she was in a coma.

When Rin heard that Kisame who saved her life turned out to be the fifth Mizukage, she couldn't help being shocked.

What shocked her even more were the things that Kisame did after that, it included defeating Konohagakure, kidnapping Tsunade and Shizune, and killing the Daimyo of the Land of Water.

Kisame from Shizune's mouth is an extremely terrifying devil. Once he starts staring at you, don't even think about escaping from his palm.

After an hour.

Kisame came to the room again and met with Nohara Rin.

"Excuse me, can I go back to Konoha?"

Although Rin didn't hold any hope, she still cautiously asked him. Because she really misses her hometown and misses her good friend Kakashi.

"Unfortunately, no."

As expected, Kisame rejected Rin's fantasy. And, he has a very reasonable explanation for it.

"Don't forget, you have the three tails in your body, which is Kirigakure's tailed beast. That is to say, whether you like it or not, you are already the Jinchuriki of Kirigakure."

Kisame pointed out this ruthless and cruel fact to Nohara Rin.

How could Kirigakure's Jinchuriki be given to Konoha?

When Rin heard him, her face turned pale, and her big eyes became dull.

Shizune, who was standing next to her also sighed, she put his arms around Rin's shoulders, and comforted her softly.

The fate of Jinchuriki is relatively miserable, as they will even be locked up in the village and lose their personal freedom.

And once you become a Jinchuriki, there is no turning back.

Rin clearly knew that even if she could forcibly strip the three tails out of her body and return it to Kirigakure, she would die because of it.

This is an unsolvable dilemma.

Thinking of this, Rin couldn't help but show deep despair on her face.

"Don't be so pessimistic. You must know that the once beautiful Konoha Village in your impression is not real. Tsunade chose to come to Kirigakure with me because hse saw through the darkness of Konoha. Otherwise, who can force her?"

When Kisame saw her despair, he showed his warm-hearted nature and comforted Nohara Rin.

'Speaking of Tsunade, I don't know how she has been doing recently, and whether her training is still going well or not.'

So, Kisame told Shizune: "I have to go to Shikkotsu Forest to see Tsunade's situation. I hope she doesn't have any troubles during this time. I'll leave Rin to you, take care of her."
