204

The babies born on Kirigakure side are indeed inferior to Konoha's "luxury lineup", but there are also rare geniuses such as Gaara and Sumeru.

It is worth mentioning that Yukino had summoned the courage to ask Kisame to have a child for them.

Kisame had no objection to it, and readily agreed, though the two of them had been busy for a whole year, they were not able to conceive.

At first, Yukino thought it was her own problem, but after looking for Tsunade worriedly, the latter pointed out unceremoniously, "It's Hoshigaki Kisame's fault."

It turned out that Kisame had lost his fertility in the process of continuous evolution in recent years.

In other words, compared with ordinary people today, he can no longer be regarded as the same species, so the phenomenon of reproductive isolation has occurred.

After Kisame learned the news, he was not disappointed in his heart, because he had always regarded things like reproduction as a dispensable, and it was regarded with indifferent attitude.

It's just that Yukino was disappointed, and Kisame felt very guilty about it, and didn't know how to make up for her.

Unexpectedly, Yukino quickly turned around and smiled to comfort Kisame. She said, on the bright side, at least in the future, they can enjoy the life to the fullest.

Kisame also felt that it made sense, so according to Yukino's intentions, he lived an increasingly shameless life with her.

While continuing to enjoy life, Kisame did not forget to do business.

The bottom of the lake of Shikkotsu forest.

Kunpeng's absorption of natural energy was much faster than Kisame expected. He originally expected it to take three to five years. Now it seems that it can be completed in advance with one year left.

In other words, after a year, Kisame would become the legendary Six Paths level creature.

On this day, Tsunade, whome he had not seen for a long time, came to the Mizukage Building and knocked on the door of the office.

"Come in." Kisame's permission came from inside.

'Crunch.'

Tsunade pushed the door open and entered, she frowned as soon as she entered, because she found that all the curtains in the office were drawn and it was pitch black inside.

Because Kisame rested his back on the sofa, turned on the projector, and is watching a movie with relish.

"Oh? You came just in time."

Seeing Tsunade, Kisame waved to her and said with great interest, "Remember the movie we made before, that "Shark on the Beach". Although Fuji'd death caused the movie release to be delayed, Director Yamamoto still copied the film and sent me a copy. It's pretty good."

Tsunade was stunned for a moment when she heard that, and was a little curious in his heart. She walked to Kisame without saying a word, and sat down on the sofa with her legs crossed.

Just as Kisame said, she came at the right time. She saw that the plot just progressed to the scene where the arrogant villain played by Kisame defeated the protagonist Fuji, and took her, the heroine, into his arms.

Kisame on the screen showed the iconic villain smile, while Tsunade in his arms, while struggling, blushed slightly and looked very shy.

"Tsk tsk, our acting skills are really indistinguishable, each has its own merits..."

Kisame seeing this scene commented from a professional point of view.

But Tsunade's face darkened, she got up and walked to the projector, turned off the power with a snap, then walked to the window again, and opened the curtains with a "swoosh".

The autumn afternoon sun rays came in, filling the office floor with a golden hue.

"What's wrong?" Kisame looked surprised.

Tsunade walked in front of Kisame, looked down at him sitting on the sofa, and said in a cold tone: "I have already established the medical ninja system you requested in Kirigakure. I will take Shizune with me in the morning tomorrow and leave Kirigakure."

'Oh?'

Kisame was a little surprised because he didn't expect Tsunade to work so efficiently. It seems that she has worked overtime for more than a year. It can be said that she has really put in her hard work.

"Are you in such a hurry to leave? Why don't you stay in Kirigakure for a while? You know, you can stay here as long as you want." Kisame pretended to be hold her back.

"Hehe, who wants to see you all day long."

Tsunade smiled contemptuously, antagonist to Kisame as always.

"Okay, it's up to you. But let me take the liberty to ask, where do you plan to go in the future, will you return to Konoha to meet your old lover Jiraiya?"

Kisame laid back indifferently, leaning on the sofa and asked lazily.

"I repeat, I have nothing to do with that lascivious guy, stop gossiping."

Tsunade glared at Kisame, looking very angry.

In fact, her heart was full of emptiness and confusion at this time. Because she didn't know where to go and what to do next.

Ever since she learned the truth about Konoha's top management's use of Hashirama cells for human experiments and the suppression of the Senju family, Tsunade has long been completely disappointed in Konoha, so she can't go back.

In contrast, Kirigakure has changed a lot in the past two years, and has developed very well, here the civilians and ninjas in the village respect her very much.

Perhaps even Tsunade herself didn't realize that, before she knew it, she had developed some feelings for this village and the people here.

Unfortunately, the only thing that made her feel uncomfortable was Kisame.

With the pride in Tsunade's bones, it is impossible for her to take the initiative to say that she wants to stay here in front of Kisame, not to mention that Kisame doesn't seem to have a strong interest to keeping her here.

So, whether it was out of self-esteem or simply hating Kisame, she had to leave.

So Tsunade didn't say anything, and took off the medical head ID tag from her neck, took off her white coat, and put it on the desk.

Then, she strode on high heels and walked out of the office.

"Wait."

Kisame moved and appeared at the door blocking Tsunade in front of him.

"Is there anything else?" Tsunade frowned and stared at Kisame with a displeased expression.

"I just want to thank you for your dedication to Kirigakure in the past two years. As Mizukage, I have to give you a parting gift no matter what. I can't let you leave empty-handed."

Kisame said with a smile.

"No need." Tsunade didn't intend to appreciate it, she replied coldly, and wanted to bypass Kisame and go out the door.

However, Kisame was very persistent, he kept blocking the door with his strong body, and continued:

"Don't be too hasty to refuse. The thing I want to give you is in the Shikkotsu Forest, you might as well see it first. In addition, you haven't visited Katsuyu for a long time. It has been talking about you recently and misses you very much."

Hearing what Kisame said,Tsunade then remembered that she hadn't been to Shikkotsu forest in a long time due to overwork.

So, her brows finally eased, and nodded reluctantly. She reluctantly accepted Kisame's invitation.

Ten minutes later, the two came to the Shikkotsu Forest.

"What is that?"

Tsunade was surprised when she appeared there, because she saw a towering tree more than 100 meters high in the open space beside the hot spring lake.

The trunk of that big tree was thick enough to be hugged by dozens of people, and the branches and leaves were even more lush, covering most of the Shikkotsu Forest, making the once barren Shikkotsu Forest full of lush greenery.

Yes. Although it was late autumn at this time, where the trees were yellow and withered, the leaves of this big tree did not turn yellow or fall at all, but were evergreen throughout the year.

Just as Tsunade raised her head and looked at this magnificent tree, Kisame came up and said:

"I moved this big tree a year ago from Takigakure. Hey don't look at me like that. I didn't rob it. It's the ninjas of Takigakure who doesn't follow their deal. They attacked me in the middle of the night and tried to kill me. After I was forced to fight back, I took this big tree."

"Hump."

Tsunade rolled her eyes and snorted, having heard enough of Kisame's nonsense.

"You may not believe it when I say it. But this tree has a deep connection with the bloodline of your Senju clan and the Mokuton."

Seeing Tsunade's disapproval, Kisame said mysteriously,

Tsunade was stunned for a moment as she looked at Kisame with eyes full of suspicion, but her interest was obviously aroused by Kisame.

"Come with me, I will show you something good." Kisame smiled and walked towards the big tree first.

Soon, the two came to the feet of the big tree one after the other, and at such a close distance, they could more intuitively feel how spectacular it was.

'Clik.'

Kisame snapped his fingers, and a tree hole as tall as a person automatically appeared on the trunk of the big tree, extending all the way to the depths of the tree.

Seeing Kisame stride in, Tsunade frowned, and followed closely behind. She wanted to see what the good things Kisame was talking about.

Passing through the long tree hole, the two finally came to the heart of the tree - here is a wooden cave with wall lamps.

The wooden cave is very empty, and there is almost nothing. The most noticeable thing is a fist-sized hole above the ceiling. Drops of translucent liquid continue to flow out, all of which are caught by a gourd hanging below.

Kisame took the gourd, shook it in his hand, nodded and said, "Well, it's going to be full soon."

"What's in here?"

Tsunade was clearly curious, but she asked casually.

"The Hero water. It is the essence of this big tree that only flows out every hundred years, but in the Shikkotsu Forest, the natural energy is a hundred times more intense than the outside world, so it doesn't take that long, and one year is enough to fill it."

While talking, Kisame handed the gourd to Tsunade, "It is said that after drinking the hero water, the chakra in the human body can skyrocket more than ten times."

This bottle of hero water can help Tsunade's bloodline evolve into a real Sage body faster.

"If there is such a good thing, why didn't you keep it with yourself?"

Tsunade narrowed her eyes as she looked at Kisame suspicion instead of taking the bottle.

"The chakra in my body is too huge, and the effect of the hero water on me is already minimal. After you drink it, it should not increase tenfold, but I estimate that doubling the amount of chakra is not a problem. ."

Kisame said truthfully.

Tsunade then took the gourd. After hesitating for a while, she raised her neck and drank it in front of Kisame.

"So hot…"

Soon, she felt hot and dry, and a surging chakra rushed through the tenketsu in her body, flooding and flowing like a river.

The blue steam escaped from Tsunade's body, making her look as if she had opened the eight gates.

"Why do I feel... dizzy..."

She staggered, barely standing still as she grabbed Kisame's collar and questioned him.

"Oh, I almost forgot to tell you that this hero water also has side effects, and it is somewhat poisonous, but with your sage body, it shouldn't be a problem to contain it."

Kisame said as if he just remembered this.

"You..." Tsunade's eyes widened, as the toxins in the Hero Water attacked her nerves, causing her to faint on the spot.

Fortunately, Kisame was quick-witted and hugged Tsunade, not letting her face touch the ground.

'Really soft, softer than Yukino.'

Kisame sighed in his heart.

As a gentleman, he didn't take the opportunity to take advantage of Tsunade, but hugged her with one hand, made a seal with the other, and a wooden bed rose from the ground. Then, Kisame put Tsunade on the bed, leaving her here to absorb the chakra of the hero water, and then walked out of the wooden cave.

After a long time.

In the wooden cave, Tsunade woke up.

"Well..." She let out a groan, stood up with her hand on her forehead, and got off the bed.

Although she was still dizzy, she could also feel that the Chakra in her body had indeed doubled as Kisame said.

'Where is that guy?'

She frowned and walked out of the cave.

However, just when Tsunade walked to the entrance of the tree hole, she suddenly heard Kisame and Katsuyu talking about something not far away.

She suddenly stopped, instead of showing up infront of them, she secretly listened to them talking.

And the content of the conversation between the two surprised Tsunade.

Kisame said that he has been looking for a suitable "Jinchuriki" candidate for Katsuyu this entire year, so that the latter can be sealed inside a human ninja like a tailed beast.

The purpose of doing this is to help Katsuyu leave Shikkotsu Forest and gain freedom.

What surprised Tsunade even more was that the candidate that Kisame and Katsuyu were discussing was her.

"No, Tsunade is not suitable. That woman is short-tempered and irritable, often yelling at others, and you are gentle, demure, and understanding, you are two extremes. If you live inside her, you will definitely be bullied by her, I can't see such a thing happen."

Kisame argued righteously.

Over the past year, he came to the Shikkotsu forest when he has nothing to do. On the one hand, it is to observe the situation of his main body "Kunpeng", and the other purpose is to get close to Kisame and enhance the relationship between each other.

Kisame's effort was not in vain.

The relationship between him and Katsuyu now is that they are more than friends but less than a lover. If he work harder, maybe he can achieve a positive result.

Under such circumstances, it is impossible for Kisame to allow Tsunade to ruin his good deeds.

It's a pity that Kisame didn't know that he erred because Tsunade had heard what he said just now.
