'Fuu?'
Hearing this name, Kisame recalled the plot in his mind, and glanced at the baby's short blue-green hair and orange eyes, basically determined—
This baby is indeed Fuu, the seven tails Jinchuriki in the anime. She is a very cute, cheerful and lively girl who is eager to make friends.
At the same time, being able to control the power of seven tails indicates that this child has a high talent for ninjutsu.
"Giggle."
Fuu has shown a lively nature since she was a child, and she is not afraid of others at all. She held Kisame's finger with her small hands and looks at him curiously with wide eyes.
At this time.
'Da da da.'
A burst of footsteps resounding from outside the fence, as the head walked into the yard and returned home.
As soon as he came back, he saw Kisame standing very close to his wife and teasing his daughter there, and looking at three, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
It stands to reason that in this situation, any man who is not extremely angry will at least be very angry.
But he seemed a little absent-minded, because his mind was on the earth grudge that he just got.
When the wife saw her husband coming back, her face changed, and she quickly distanced herself from Kisame. Afraid of him misunderstanding, she immediately explained: "This person said he was your friend..."
She was just halfway through when she was interrupted by him.
"You came to live in my house because you are worried?"
He walked to Kisame and asked with a frown. In his view, the other party was obviously worried that he would not keep his word, so he followed him to the house to monitor him.
"I didn't mean that. However, this is an important transaction, it's better to be cautious. What do you say, leader?"
Kisame responded with a smile.
"Humph."
The head snorted coldly and said to Kisame, "As for the authenticity of the earth grudge, I have to check it carefully. After confirming that the content is correct, I will naturally bring you the Hero water."
Then, he instructed his wife, "Take him to the guest room to stay, and satisfy any request that he has."
After he finished speaking, he strode into the study and went to study eagerly.
After the head hurriedly entered the study, only Kisame and the woman were left in the hall.
"Sister-in-law, may I ask where is the guest room? I'll just go there myself, I don't want to bother you to lead the way."
Kisame noticed that the woman was tired, so he took the initiative to speak.
"Don't call me sister-in-law, it feels weird. My name is Mikiko."
Mikiko glanced at Kisame and said, then walked towards a room next to her, "Come with me, the guest room has not been occupied for a long time, I need to clean it up."
The two entered a room one after the other.
Although the head told Mikiko to meet all of Kisame's requirements, Kisame said that he was not picky and only wanted a bed to sleep on.
Even so, Mikiko insisted on cleaning the room, preparing the bed for Kisame, and the hot water for bathing.
'What a virtuous woman.'
While she was busy, Kisame offered to help take care of Fuu. After all, carrying a little girl while doing housework was not only tiring, but also inconvenient.
Mikiko agreed.
So, Kisame took Fuu and played with the little girl.
After Kisame finished taking a shower, he came out of the bathroom and saw Mikiko bring a plate of fruit and snacks and put it on the table.
She asked Kisame if he had any other requirements, and after confirming that he was satisfied with everything, she breathed a sigh of relief, walked out with the child on her back, and closed the door of the guest room.
As soon as Mikiko left, Kisame laid on the bed, put his hands behind his head, and closed his eyes.
Under his perception, he found that a large number of Taki ninjas were lurking around the courtyard at this moment, forming an airtight encirclement.
It was obviously arranged by the head.
But still, Kisame is not in a hurry to act at all.
The trading conditions he gave were valid until tomorrow morning. Before that, Kisame would not make excessive moves.
Maybe it's because Kisame had been too training for the past few months, and all kinds of things have been going on in a row, he felt a little tired.
Unconsciously, there was a slight snoring sound in the room, Kisame fell asleep.
The sun sets, and night falls.
Inside the study.
"Whoo~"
The head closed the scroll in his hand, leaned back on the chair, and let out a long breath. At this moment, the excitement and joy in his heart appeared on his face, and it was difficult for him to calm down.
After hours of research and repeated inspections, he was 100% sure that this scroll is the Earth grudge that way taken away from the village by Kakuzu.
This secret technique, captures the hearts of other ninjas into the body together with the opponent's chakra nature, so that the practitioner can perform advanced ninjutsu with five basic nature, and by constantly changing the heart, it is even possible to achieve immortality.
After being taken away for decades, today, it finally returned to Takigakure.
His heart kept surging.
He is the current Seven tails Jinchuriki, and with the help of it's power, even among all the Jinchuriki, he is confident that he can reach the top three in strength.
If he learns the earth grudge and masters the advanced ninjutsu of the five basic natures, and combines it with his own tail beast Chakra, his strength will inevitably skyrocket, and he will become the top powerhouse in the ninja world.
No, not just these, if he added Hero Water on top of this, his strength will be too great.
This legendary hero water will only condense once in a hundred years, and once drank, it can increase the chakra in the human body tenfold.
As an ambitious person, the head couldn't help but think about how invincible he would be if he drank the hero water after he successfully trained Earth grudge.
At that time, he will lead the Takigakure to achieve a greatness again and make the entire Ninja World surrender to his feet.
Thinking of this, he excitedly stood up from the chair.
The hero water is the treasure of Takigakure. It took a long time of hundred years, and it has just been condensed. How could it be handed over to an outsider.
Yes, he is going to tear up the terms of the deal with Kisame, the exchange of Hero Water for Kakuzu's corpse and the earth grudge.
Not only that, but in order to prevent the opponent from resisting, he also intends to strike first and kill the opponent tonight.
A plan soon formed in his mind.
He quitely walked out of the study, walked through the corridor, and pushed open the bedroom door with a thud, awakening Mikiko from her deep sleep.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing her husband's gloomy expression, Mikiko was frightened and nervous, and hurriedly got off the bed and put on her pajamas.
"That bounty hunter seems to like you very much. He shouldn't have any defenses against you, right?"
He stared at his wife, said something inexplicably, and showed a smile.
Mikiko's expression froze when she heard the words, and she asked in a trembling voice, "What are you going to... let me do?"
From his words, she had realized that her husband was going to force her to do something bad. She was accustomed to submissiveness, she couldn't say the word "rejection", and she didn't dare to refuse.
Ten minutes later.
Outside the door of the guest room.
'Tak tak.'
There was a knock on the door. At the same time, it was accompanied by Mikiko's cautious voice: "Sir, are you asleep?"
After a while, no one responded, only a slight snoring came from the room.
Mikiko looked back, her husband was watching her from behind with cold eyes. She gritted her teeth, opened the door gently, and walked in.
After entering the room, Mikiko carefully closed the door again, so as not to let the light from outside enter the room, so as not to wake up the target.
In the room, under the dim light, Kisame was lying on the bed, sleeping soundly, as if he was having a sweet dream.
Mikiko's heartbeat accelerated, as she walked over step by step, getting closer and closer to Kisame..
Five meters, three meters, two meters.
Finally, she came to the bed, stared at Kisame, slowly raised a hand, that held a sharp knife, glowing with a cold light.
The task her husband gave her was to get close to Kisame and kill the latter while he was unprepared.
However, at the moment of the great opportunity, the knife in Mikiko's hand was slow to fall.
Because she knew that this was killing a person who has done nothing bad to her.
Just as Mikiko's heart was caught in the battle between right and wrong, Kisame suddenly turned over, and then slowly opened his eyes.
After the nap Kisame felt refreshed as it swept away the exhaustion that had been in him for the past few months.
In fact, he woke up long ago, and deliberately did not open his eyes.
Just now, if the knife in Mikiko's hand fell and plunged into his chest, she would already be a corpse at this time.
Fortunately, she is kind enough.
Kisame can understand the difficulties of this woman, so he took the initiative to wake up.
"You, when did you wake up?"
When Mikiko saw Kisame open his eyes, her face turned pale immediately, she took two steps back in fright, and quickly hid the knife in her hand in her sleeve.
"Sister-in-law, what are you doing in my room in the middle of the night?"
Kisame sat up, looked at Mikiko, and asked deliberately.
"I, I was thinking... You haven't had dinner yet, so I came to ask if you are hungry." Mikiko made up a reason in a panic, her voice trembling.
"Oh, Sister-in-law is so kind to me."
Kisame looked like he didn't feel anything suspicious, but he soon noticed Mikiko's uneasiness, so he stood up and walked towards her, and asked suspiciously, "Sister-in-law, why is your body shaking, why are you dressed too lightly in the middle of the night, be careful not to catch a cold."
As he spoke, he took off the cloak hanging from the hanger and put it over Mikiko's shoulders.
"Thank you, thank you."
Mikiko murmured, she didn't expect Kisame to care about her so much. Her heart was both moved and guilty, and her feelings were mixed for a while.
"What?"
Suddenly, Kisame grabbed Mikiko's arm and asked curiously, "Sister-in-law, what are you holding in your hand?"
Mikiko was startled, and the knife slipped from her sleeve, exposing itself to Kisame.
'Its over.
She turned pale and hesitated, not knowing how to explain.
What she never expected was.
"Sister-in-law, you're so kind. You brought a fruit knife on purpose. Are you going to help me cut the fruit?"
Kisame took the knife from Mikiko's hand and smiled, "I'll do this kind of trivial matter myself. Sister-in-law, you've been tired all day and are about to catch cold, take a good rest."
After speaking, he walked to the table, picked up an apple from the fruit bowl, and cut it with a knife.
"You…"
Mikiko stayed where she was. In the situation just now, it was impossible for Kisame to not see her as an assassin, unless he deliberately pretended not to know, and even helped her out of the way.
But why.
Mikiko stared blankly at the man in front of her. Although she had not been in contact with him for less than half a day, and didn't even know his appearance and name, she felt inexplicably that this man was considerate, gentle and caring. A man to depend on.
'He is a good man.'
Such a man must have a gentle and virtuous wife in his family, waiting for him to go back.
Thinking of this, Mikiko took a deep breath and made a decision in her heart.
