There was no sound in response to him.

Kisame seemed to know that someone was around, but after he spoke, no movement came from the darkness.

He smiled silently as his figure disappeared from the spot in a flash, and when he appeared again, he stretched out his hand and grabbed a woman's wrist with a "pop".

"You!"

Pakura's expression changed, she was obviously very careful, but she didn't expect to be found by him.

"It was Tsunade who told you to follow me, right? She ordered you to inquire about the information on my three students, didn't she?" Kisame stared at Pakura and said with a half-smile.

"Who are you?" Pakura frowned, not only did not answer Kisame's question, but instead asked a question in return.

Kisame didn't get angry when he heard that, he instead asked, "Who do you think I am?"

"Let me go first." Pakura said coldly, trying to struggle.

"What if I don't let go?" Kisame teased.

"Then don't blame me." Pakura's eyes focused, and as soon as she finished speaking, the wrist that was caught by Kisame suddenly became hot and red, and the next second it burst into flames.

'Chi Chi Chi.'

Kisame's palm was immediately scorched by the flames, and a puff of white smoke rose.

But just when Pakura thought she could break free from Kisame's grasp, a powerful suction suddenly came from his palm, swallowing the flames she released.

Not only that, the devouring power got stronger and stronger, sucking the burning chakra from her body continuously, her chakra was like a clay toy thrown into the sea, and it disappearing without a trace.

'Not good.'

Pakura was shocked and subconsciously wanted to resist, but it was too late, because she soon felt dizzy and lost her strength because of the rapid loss of chakra.

"I'll give you a suggestion. How about being my spy in the future? Help me find out information about Tsunade's students. I will definitely not treat you badly."

After Kisame controlled Pakura, he tried to turn her against Tsunade.

"Don't think about it! I will never betray Tsunade-sama, you might as well just kill me."

Pakura shouted sharply. Due to the continuous suction of chakra in her body, her face has become a little pale. If this continues, she may be sucked dry by Kisame and become a mummified corpse.

Just when Pakura was about to despair.

"Forget it, how could I have the heart to force you."

Kisame suddenly sighed, then let go of his hand, and under Pakura's suprised expression, he turned and returned to the camp.

Pakura's body swayed and she fell to the ground, as she stared blankly at Kisame's back.

The next day.

The four of them left the camp and moved on.

In the coming days, they traveled most of the Land of Fire. Along the way, Kimimaro, Haku and Karin eradicated all kinds of robbers and traitor, accumulating practical experience, and conducted various training under Kisame's guidance.

Their talent was naturally very outstanding. They are like three sponges, greedily absorbing water, and in the process of continuous expansion, their strength increases rapidly.

Time flies by like a horse.

Before they knew it, two months had passed.

On this day, the four finally arrived at Konoha, they passed through the gate of the village, and came to Konoha's main road.

"Is this Konohagakure? It's so lively and crowded. However, it doesn't seem as prosperous as our Kirigakure."

Haku curiously looked around the surrounding buildings and the passing pedestrians, and came to such an initial impression.

"That's right, our Kirigakure is much more beautiful than Konoha." Karin also nodded and agreed seriously.

Kimimaro didn't speak, and his eyes occasionally gave off a sharp look. Only a powerful ninja could arouse his interest.

Just as the little kids were gushing, Kisame who was walking at the front said without looking back: "If you don't want to cause trouble, don't mention the word Kirigakure again. Don't forget, our current identity is that of a free ninja in the Land of Fire."

"Yes, Sensei."

Hearing this, Haku and Karin quickly responded and closed their mouths.

Ten minutes later, the group of four came to the hot spring street by the Konoha River, found a hotel and got two rooms.

"There are two days off from today, you can move freely in Konoha and have a good rest."

In the room, while Kisame was talking, he distributed pocket money to the three.

As for himself, he took the corpses of the defeated ninjas and went to Hokage building to exchange the bounty.

At the entrance of the hostel.

"Let's go to the commercial street to play. I heard that there are a lot of delicious and fun things there, and there are programs to watch."

Haku and Karin happily said. Although Kimimaro was not interested, he did not disappoint his teammates, he nodded and agreed to go with the two of them.

After watching the three little jumping away, Kisame smiled slightly, turned around, put his hands in his pockets, and walked gracefully onto main road.

Revisiting Konohagakure after a long time, he walked leisurely through the bustling crowd and walked towards the Hokage Building in the center of the village.

After half an hour.

Kisame walked out of the Hokage building with a suitcase full of banknotes. The money may not be worth mentioning in his eyes, but they were earned by the three kids, and they are meaningful to them.

However, he just walked a few steps when he heard a loud shout from the side:

"Get out of the way!"

Kisame looked at the source and found that it was a figure in a green tights, rushing towards him as if he was rushing to die.

It's Might Guy.

Kisame could have easily avoided, but he pretending to be caught off guard, and deliberately collided with Guy.

'Boom!'

The two collided head-on and both fell to the ground. Kisame's suitcase was even opened, and the banknotes inside were spilled and scattered all over the floor.

"It hurts"

While covering his chest, Guy got up from the ground. When he saw Kisame knocked to the ground and the banknotes all over the floor, his expression changed and he quickly bowed:

"I'm so sorry!"

After speaking, he immediately helped Kisame up, and then hurriedly helped the latter pick up the money on the ground.

"Guy, I already said that I don't want to compete with you. You ran so fast in the village, it's only a matter of time before you bump into someone else."

At this moment, a young man with white hair and a black mask also ran over from a distance, and shook his head helplessly, while helping Guy pick up the money.

It's Kakashi.

Fortunately, the banknotes that fell on the ground were not blown away by the wind. With the joint efforts of the three, all the money was recovered.

"Brother, I'm so sorry! My friend and I were in a running competition. I ran too fast just now and couldn't stop immediately and accidentally hit you. You're not injured, right? Do you want me to take you to the hospital?"

After returning the suitcase full of banknotes to Kisame, Guy apologized to the him again, and his attitude was very sincere.

"I'm fine, just be careful next time. After all, not everyone's body is as strong as mine."

Kisame grinned, patted his firm chest, then turned around and strode away.

"Huh, I thought I was going to get into trouble, but luckily this guy didn't care." Guy watched Kisame go away, feeling relieved and looked happy.

Kakashi frowned and said nothing.

"What's wrong, Kakashi?" Guy asked curiously, noticing his friend's expression.

"I don't know why, but I always feel that the person is a little strange."

Kakashi said in a deep voice, then shook his head again, "Maybe I'm thinking too much."

Kisame returned to the hostel.

'Cree.'

He pushed open the door and entered, and as soon as he entered the room, he sensed an extremely obscure aura that was hiding in the room. But he just smiled slightly, pretended not to know, put down the suitcase and walked into the bathroom.

'Crrrr.'

In the bathroom, there was soon the sound of water, accompanied by Kisame's singing. It's just that the singing is not really beautiful, it's like a ghost crying wolf howl.

Pakura frowned and walked out from behind the curtain.

She suspected that Kisame had discovered her, so he deliberately sang such an ugly song to torture her.

Just when Pakura was unable to endure Kisame's singing, he finally finished taking a shower and returned to his bedroom.

Pakura quickly hid.

Kisame used a towel to dry his wet hair, and only had a bath towel around his waist. He lay down on the bed with his upper body naked.

'Mmmm, so comfortable.'

After sleeping in the wild for two months, he finally slept in a comfortable big bed. Kisame narrowed his eyes contentedly and took a short nap.

When he opened his eyes again, he saw Pakura standing in front of the bed with an indifferent expression and her arms crossed.

"Is something wrong?" Kisame was not surprised, instead he put his hands behind his head, and asked with a smile.

Hearing that Pakura suddenly stared at him with bright eyes, and said to him word by word: "Yes, you, are, Hoshigaki, Kisame!"

"Oh, why do you say that? If I remember correctly, the fifth Mizukage Hoshigaki Kisame had already committed suicide, right?"

Kisame pretended to be surprised.

"Stop acting!"

Pakura snorted softly as she clenched her fists, and stared at Kisame, "I've been watching you secretly for two months. Although you and Hoshigaki Kisame have different appearances, your words, deeds, and actions, are exactly the same as him! You are Hoshigaki Kisame, you are not dead!"

Her tone was firm, she confident that her judgment would never be wrong.

Facing Pakura's observation, Kisame just smiled without saying a word. When the atmosphere in the room was about to become awkward due to the silence, he suddenly smiled helplessly:

"You caught me."

After speaking, his face slowly changed, revealing a true face that she hadn't seen in a long time.

"You" Pakura was stunned when she saw that very familiar face, and stayed where she was.

"Why, I admit that I'm Hoshigaki Kisame, but you don't believe me?" Kisame asked with a smile.

"I want to ask you something."

Pakura was silent for a moment, then said, "During the Fourth Ninja War, I fell into a coma due to serious injuries and lay in the hospital for more than a year. But one day, I suddenly saw a person in a dream."

"It's not a dream, Pakura."

Kisame interrupted her and said apologetically, "At that time, I also just woke up from a long slumber. After returning to Kirigakure, I went to see you in the ward. I'm sorry, for few reasons, I've been hiding from you."

As soon as these words came out, Pakura was shocked.

At this time, she could finally be 100% sure that the man in front of her was Hoshigaki Kisame, the man she once followed.

Unconsciously, two lines of tears flowed from her eyes.

"Why are you crying, shouldn't you be happy at this time?" Kisame looked surprised.

As soon as he finished speaking, Pakura suddenly threw herself on top of him, sobbing loudly.

"Waaaaa"

Kisame didn't speak any more, and stretched out his arms to hug her gently, letting Pakura's tears burst like a flood and wet his chest.

They were like that for a while.

"Huh?" Kisame suddenly frowned and let out a light hum.

"What, what's wrong?" Pakura raised her head and asked with red eyes.

"It's that Kimimaro really went to Naruto Uzumaki, something may happen next." Kimimaro sighed, obviously expecting this.

"Uzumaki Naruto? Isn't he that the Son of the Fifth Hokage, the Son of Prophecy, and the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki of Konoha?"

Pakura was also taken aback when she heard that, and after recovering, she said quickly, "Then let's go over and take a look."

Saying that, she stood up, only to find that the Kisame's chest was full of her tears. Thinking of her gaffe just now, she couldn't help blushing and whispered, "I'm sorry."

"It's ok."

Kisame got out of bed, changed his clothes in front of Pakura, and then changed back to his previous appearance. During this, Pakura also wiped the tears from her face and returned to her usual unsmiling appearance.

The two looked at each other, walked out of the hostel, and rushed in a certain direction.

At this time.

The square of the commercial street is full of people.

"Kimimaro, where are we going?"

In the crowd, Haku and Karin panted behind Kimimaro, feeling very puzzled.

Because from the beginning, Kimimaro's face was not quite right, and then he hurriedly walked in a certain direction, as if he was looking for something.

"Haku, Karin, you go back to the hotel first, I have a personal matter to deal with."

Kimimaro turned around and warned his teammates with a serious face, "If Sensei asks, please help me hide it from him, ok?"

The two heard the words and looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a while.

At this moment, Kimimaro seemed to have felt something in his heart, and quickly stepped through the crowd. At a glance, he saw the backs of a few kids, walking on the street talking and laughing.

"Naruto, I heard that you were beaten by Sasuke again? Don't you feel ashamed as the son of the Fifth Hokage?"

A blond girl looked contemptuous.

The kid she laughed at had short yellow hair, a pair of blue shorts, dark green goggles, and a white T-shirt.

He originally put his hands behind his head, with a lollipop in his mouth, and walked leisurely. Hearing the mockery of the blond girl Yamanaka Ino, his face stiffened and he stopped.

"Damn, didn't that Teme promise me not to tell anyone about this? I was careless last time. I was attacked by him, and accidentally lost!"

Uzumaki Naruto blushed and tried to defend himself, his face was full of dissatisfaction and he shouted, "Where is that teme? I will definitely defeat him."

Although his voice was loud, it was filled with shame.

'I finally get to meet you, Uzumaki Naruto.'

Kimimaro, who stood not far behind them, watched Naruto's back, and said silently in his heart.
