The information on the members of Akatsuki's organization was handed to Hanzo, the most notable of them was the leader Yahiko, and the other two core members - Konan and Nagato.

"They so young, they don't even look fifteen years old."

Hanzo couldn't help but sigh, and when he saw Nagato's information and photos, he even showed a look of surprise, "The child with red hair is actually a remnant of the Uzumaki clan. And these strange eyes..."

He didn't know about Rinnegan, but the intuition of being a top powerhouse made him feel a strong hidden threat from Nagato's eyes.

"Send someone to watch them first, and continue to collect more intelligence."

Hanzo pondered for a moment, then cautiously issued an order.

Soon, all the subordinates withdrew, leaving Hanzo alone in the office.

He stood up and looked at the rain outside through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows of the office.

Young Hanzo was a hero who dared to challenge the Five Ninja Villages by himself. His wish is to facilitate the peace talks between the five countries, so as to realize the peace and unity of the ninja world.

However, the hero also has a time of twilight.

Hanzo is 55 years old this year, his body is inevitably aging, and the fire of faith in his heart is gradually extinguished. Many people are beginning to doubt whether he is still qualified for the title of "Demi-God".

Does this man still have dominance?

In the midst of these discussions, the elderly Hanzo became more and more anxious, more and more greedy for power, and always suspected that someone was trying to harm him.

He arranged for himself a 24-hour rotating escort, often suppressing new forces within the Land of Rain, and spared no effort to suppress all individuals and groups that might threaten his dominance.

But that alone is not enough.

In Hanzo's heart, he longed to return to his youth, longing to return to the peak of his strength one day.

Therefore, when he accidentally heard that there is a magical Box of Ultimate Bliss in Kusagakure, which can grant any wish, he couldn't help but be moved.

After years of intelligence gathering.

Hanzo became more and more convinced that the legendary Box of Ultimate Bliss really existed, and was hidden in the Hozuki Castle.

So, he sent Scarface to go undercover and confirm the news.

Hanzo is determined to get the Box of Ultimate Bliss.

Once the information comes back, he will go there in person.

…

Hozuki Castle, solitary cell.

In the dead of night.

This is the second day that Kisame was in confinement.

In the dark, he sat cross-legged, trying to condense chakra. But the Heavenly Prison technique on his body was activated instantly, turning into a chain of burning flames, burning his body.

Kisame ignored it and still forcibly completed the seal.

A wall of water rose slowly, covering his body, and quickly extinguished the flame chain.

If Kisame continued to maintain the chakra, it would take a few minutes to remove the Heavenly prison, but he did not do so in order not to arouse unwilling vigilance and suspicion.

For Kisame, even if he doesn't use ninjutsu, he still has the abilities he gained from ninja swords; and he can still use his pure physique.

After all, his physical strength is strong enough, and Unlimited style is very suitable for use in places like prisons.

During confinement.

Kisame's heart is still like water, he continues to exercise and meditate every day, and eat and sleep on time.

Three days later, when he came out of the confinement room, not only did he show no signs of depression, his eyes were bright and his body and spirit were in excellent condition.

The prison guards looked at each other in dismay, and discussed in private that this kid, Hoshigaki Kisame, is not an ordinary person.

Kisame was then taken back to his cell.

"It's you?"

As soon as he returned to the cell, he found that his new cellmate was an old acquaintance.

That's right, it's the scarface of Amegakure.

"Kisame-sama, you're back."

Scarface greeted him with a flattering face. He complimented and flattered Kisame, and massaged his back while speaking to please him.

He acted like a loyal little brother.

Kisame learned from the other party's mouth that Scarface was placed in the same cell as him after bribing the prison guards.

The reason is also very simple.

Scarface has long known that Kisame is a ruthless person, so he wants to rely on the latter, hoping to get his protection, so as to survive in this cruel prison.

"Kisame-sama, my name is..."

"I'm not interested in your name, I will call you Scarface." Kisame said, accepting his allegiance.

But there was some vigilance in his heart, as he always felt that the other party was a little too enthusiastic.

Soon two days passed.

On the night of the third day, before the lights in the cell went out.

Scarface finally couldn't hold back, revealing his true purpose in approaching Kisame.

"What did you say, jailbreak?"

Kisame narrowed his eyes.

"Kisame-sama, please be quiet..."

Scarface hurriedly made a shush gesture, looked nervously outside the cell, and was relieved to find that no one else heard it.

Then, he pulled Kisame to the corner and said to the latter in a low voice:

"I know that you came to Hozuki Castle to repent of your crimes religiously, and you never thought about escape. But unfortunately, this prison is not the place of redemption you imagined, but a place where prisoners are used for human experiments. It's a terrible place. What's even more terrible is that the city lord here is inactive, and it is likely that he has already set his sights on you."

After finishing speaking, Scarface also showed some evidence, which he collected from everywhere after he entered the prison.

'This guy is not easy either.'

Kisame looked at the evidence, and was more vigilant about the scarface in his heart.

But he continued to pretend on the surface, from a look of doubt to shock, and his face changed greatly after reading all the evidence, and he believed Scarface's words.

Of course, in fact, Kisame has long been clear about the situation in Hozuki Castle.

After a moment of silence.

"What's your plan?" Kisame pretended to be solemn and asked Scarface in a low voice.

"Kisame-sama, I have figured out the structure of the prison these days, and found two feasible escape routes. When the prison guards change shifts, we each choose a route to escape separately, which can greatly increase the chance of successful escape. It makes sure at least one person escapes this hellish place."

Scarface took out a hand-drawn map from the sole of his shoe and showed his carefully prepared escape plan.

According to Scarface, as long as one of the two can escape and tell the whole Ninja world about the dark things that happened in Hozuki Castle, the senior management of Kusagakure, headed by Mui, will be finished.

At that time, with the closure of this prison, both of them can be saved.

Moreover, by virtue of the achievement of exposing the dark truth of Hozuki Castle, he may be able to avoid the crime of prison.

"When are you going to act?" Kisame looked like he is moved by the proposal.

"Tonight is the best time. The longer we delay, the greater the risk." Scarface said firmly.

"Ok!"

Kisame's eyes were full of light, and decisively decided on the escape plan.

Late at night.

The prison was silent, except for the occasional sound of the prisoner snoring.

Scarface and Kisame never slept, and when the guards changed their shifts, they finally started to act.

Scarface crept to the door of the cell, opened his mouth and spit out a piece of wire, then put it into the lock, and fiddled for a while.

A click.

In less than ten seconds, the cell door was opened.

"Let's go."

Kisame escaped with Scarface, and quickly passed through the cells to the end of the aisle.

According to the plan in advance, the two escaped separately.

However, after Scarface escaped for a distance, Kisame stopped and waited patiently.

Soon.

From the other direction of the prison, there was a sharp shout from the prison guards, and then the lights came on, and a piercing alarm sounded.

'Swish.'

Scarface formed a seal, and jumped to the ceiling of the aisle, and his figure quickly became transparent, becoming an invisible.

Amegakure is best at raising the ability of every ninja to the limit, and has developed many unique moves, especially the assassination technique.

As Hanzo's left hand, Scarface is one of the best.

He is proficient in detection, infiltration, and assassination.

"Quick, someone escaped!"

A group of prison guards, armed with batons and guns, hurried across the aisle, not finding anyone above their heads.

Scarface fell silently to the ground.

The Heavenly Prison jutsu that he should have had on his body has been quietly lifted at some point.

Scarface has been preparing for this undercover mission for a long time, and has repeatedly studied the confinement technique, and finally came up with a way to deal with it.

"Hope that idiot can hold off a little longer."

He sneered, hoping to take advantage of Kisame attracting the attention of most of the prison guards, and climbed to the outer wall of the prison like a gecko, and silently moved towards the tallest building in Hozuki Castle.

In it laid Mui's office.

This was Scarface's plan all along.

There are two reasons why he chose Kisame as the victim.

The first is because of Kisame's perverse character and strong strength.

Only when such people escape from prison can they make enough noise to give Scarface a chance to sneak into the depths of Hozuki Castle to find the Box of Ultimate Bliss.

The second reason is purely personal grudges.

On the way to Hozuki Castle, Kisame hijacked the prison cart, bullied him badly along the way. And Scarface can only endure the humiliation because of his task.

Now it's finally time for revenge.

Is that really what's happening?

The answer is no.

Because, as soon as Scarface's left, Kisame turned back.

After he separated from Scarface just now, he temporarily suppressed the Heavenly Prison technique in his body, and used Chakra to create two clones.

Among them, one clone transformed into scarface and swaggeringly escaped from prison; the other returned to the cell and slept obediently.

As for Kisame, he activated the "change" shoulder pattern on his right shoulder, and turned into an unfamiliar appearance.

Then, he used the explosion seal that he had secretly left on the sole of Scarface's shoes in the past two days, and after sensing the latter's whereabouts, he followed quietly.
