8

This sudden encounter is more like an assessment.

He thought about it quickly, and did not choose to use the shark tail lightning whip, but pretended to resist for a while, and finally lost, and was entangled by the Nuibari.

Ashore.

"Yo, fishing success!"

Kuriarare Kushimaru was in high spirits, and with a strong pull on his hand, like pulling a fishing rod, he caught a big living man, Kisame, from the water.

kisame was bound by the Nuibari, and lay wet on the ground, unable to move, like a dead fish.

He raised his head in fear, looked up at the tall Kushimaru Kuriarare, and asked carefully:

"Sir, may I ask what's going on..."

Before Kushimaru Kuriarare could answer, a boy with short black hair and half of his face wrapped in bandages came out of the thick fog.

"My lord, did this guy disappoint you?"

After Zabuza bowed to Kushimaru Kuriarare, he stared at Kisame with a joking look on his face.

"Well, this shark-faced kid has some strength and is qualified to be my subordinate."

Kuriarare Kushimaru nodded, expressing his approval of Kisame. Then, he retracted the Nuibari, untied the shackles of Kisame, and ordered Zabuza:

"Stay here and tell this kid about the rules of doing things under me."

After saying this, Kuriarare Kushimaru flashed and left with a Shunshin.

Disappearing with him, was the dense fog that permeates the surroundings.

"Kisame, we meet again, get up quickly."

Zabuza wasn't smiling anymore.

Kisame struggled to stand up. At this time, he had multiple wounds on his body, all of which were left by the Nuibari, and the wounds continued to ooze blood.

He looked miserable.

"Give me an explanation."

His eyes were fierce, and he questioned Zabuza angrily.

"Don't be angry, Kisame, you have clearly met something good."

Sitting on the stone next to him, and raising his legs, he said slowly:

"As you can see, I have recommended you to Lord Kushimaru Kuriarare. Congratulations on passing this actual combat test, and being honored to be his subordinate. From now on, we will be the companions of a team."

When talking about the word "companion", Zabuza's tone was rather playful.

When Kisame heard these words, his face changed for a while, and finally a few words were squeezed out of his mouth:

"I understand."

"Very good."

Zabuza snapped his fingers crisply and began to talk, "Kisame, I am looking forward to carrying out the mission with you, if we perform well, maybe we will soon be appreciated by adults, so that we can get rid of inferiority. As of now, we have entered Anbu. So, let's do our best together."

"Anbu!"

Kisame was shocked, his pupils contracted, obviously he was shocked.

Zabuza looked in his eyes and was very satisfied with Kisame's response. Next, he explained the rules of the team to the him, and before leaving, he ordered:

"Meet us at the village entrance at six o'clock tomorrow morning, don't be late."

After speaking, he got up and left.

Kisame watched Zabuza's back move away until it disappeared.

His expression returned to that calm like water, without a trace of waves.

Obviously, he had been acting just now.

Kisame was still thinking about how to approach Kuriarare Kushimaru to find an opportunity to attack, but he didn't expect that the other party would take the initiative to come to the door and recruit him as a subordinate.

To be precise, as a senior cannon fodder.

In addition, Kisame has long heard that in the process of performing tasks in the past, Zabuza often has the experience of killing his companions.

There is absolutely no good intentions in this person's recommendation.

However.

They will regret taking him in.

Kisame withdrew his gaze, entered the house, and came to the mirror.

In just a short while, most of the wounds he had deliberately suffered in the battle had healed.

However, Kisame still took out a Band-Aid from the drawer and put it on the wound on his cheek, and also wrapped bandages on various parts of his body, disguising it with the illusion that the wound had not healed.

Then, he stayed at home to rest and recharge.

Early the next morning.

The morning mist at the entrance of the village filled the air, and the flowers and trees along the road were covered with dewdrops. From time to time, the cold wind blows, rolling up the mist, slapping people's faces, making them feel cold.

Most of the people involved in this search operation have assembled. There are hundreds of people, both upper, middle and lower class. Most of them are lower class people from third class families.

Zabuza stood there with his hands across his chest, leaning his back against a big tree, while closing his eyes and rested.

"Kisame, you are here."

After a while, he opened his eyes and looked at Kisame that arrived on time in front of him.

Kisame didn't say a word, and stood next to Zabuza, like a statue that couldn't speak, waiting for the next order.

"Have you seen it, the Demon is forming a team with the Mad Dog. We must stay away from them."

The surrounding ninjas whispered and cast fearful glances at the two of them.

After a while, the leader of this search operation, the long-arrived Heartless duo, finally appeared.

Kisame had already seen Kuriarare Kushimaru yesterday, so he immediately focused his attention on Jinpachi Munashi.

Munashi Jinhachi is a one-eyed man with long braids. Compared with his giant partner, Kuriarare Kushimaru, who is 2.13 meters tall, he is only 1.72 meters tall and looks much petite.

However, this seemingly unremarkable man's frontal combat strength is definitely one of the best among the seven ninja swordsmen.

That's because his use of Shibuki has reached a state of perfection.

This big sword, which was carried on the shoulders by Jinpachi Munashi, had an ordinary blade on one side and a giant scroll on the other side, which could channel countless detonating talismans and possess explosive power.

"Gulp."

Kisame swallowed a mouthful of saliva, as he swept his eyes across Nuibari and Shibuki without revealing any traces. Not only was his mouth dry, but his heartbeat accelerated.

He could feel that the Panda in his mind was stimulating the cerebral cortex and secreting a large amount of dopamine, which made him extremely excited.

His body was longing for these two ninja swords, and he couldn't wait to eat them.

Kisame forcibly pressed the impulse in his heart, turned his eyes away, and calmed himself down.

At this time.

"Is everyone here?" Jinpachi Munashi glanced at the crowd, frowning, as he seemed to be in a bad mood.

As early as three months ago, the Mizukage ordered the Heartless duo to retrieve Pakura's head. But who would have thought that after Pakura returned to Sunagakure, she would not leave the village one step further.

As Sunagakure's hero, she is closely guarded.

The Heartless duo couldn't find a suitable opportunity to assassinate Pakura, and in the end they could only return bitterly.

Seeing the two of them coming back empty handed, the Mizukage naturally didn't give them a good look.

"It's all the fault of that Kurosuki Raiga, who was killed by a woman, making the outside world think that the Seven Ninja Swordsmen are just people with a false name."

Kuriarare Kushimaru sneered, playing with the Nuibari in his hand.

"So, we're going to start killing people this time to restore our reputation. We won't let go of any Suna bastards."

Jinpachi Munashi snorted and exhaled two white breaths from his nostrils.

"In that case, let's get started. Go!"

Kuriarare Kushimaru gave an order, and hundreds of Kirigakure ninjas who were present jumped into the woods making "swish, swish" sounds and launched a massive search and suppression operation.

In the mountains and dense forests of the Land of Water, dangers were abound.

Here, hunters and prey, every moment staged a good show of chasing and being chased.

This time, the Suna ninjas who have sneaked into the Land of Water are more numerous and more cunning.

They broke into pieces and used guerrilla warfare everywhere. In just one week, they destroyed dozens of bridges and dams, causing huge economic losses to the Land of Water.

In order to effectively annihilate the enemy, Kirigakure's search and suppression force was divided into 20 teams, each consisting of four to six people, moving out in a fan shape. Once the enemy was in sight, they would use signal bombs for help.

Three days have passed.

In a remote deep mountain forest, a four person team is slowly searching forward in a "Y" formation.

Kisame and a genin are on the left and the right, located in front of the formation, while Zabuza is in the middle of the command, and finally one person is left behind to guard against attacks from behind.

In this team, the other two are old teammates of Zabuza, only Kisame is a newcomer who has just joined.

As the core of the squad, it is obviously the safest to be in the middle of the formation and be able to retreat.

In contrast, Kisame who is exploring the road ahead may encounter danger at any time.

One day ago.

They found traces of a small group of enemies, so they tracked them all the way to this inaccessible forest, and finally found the enemy's camp under the cover of dense trees.

Zabuza immediately decided to launch a raid to kill all the enemies in the camp.

But this time, Kisame raised an objection.

He felt that something was very wrong. The tracking was too smooth this time, and it was most likely a trap set by the enemy.

"Kisame, your worries are not unreasonable, but we've all come here, so we can't just let them go, right? Why don't you... go and check the situation of the enemy, and the three of us will meet you in the back."

Zabuza showed a malicious smile and gave orders to him.

As soon as he finished speaking, the other two companions also stared at Kisame, with threat in their eyes.

It seems that Kisame has to go even if he doesn't want to go.

"Oh, ok."

Facing the intimidation of his teammates, Kisame sighed, stretched out his right hand and scratched his head, looking rather helpless.

However, just as he was scratching his head, his right hand suddenly swung forward, and suddenly the quicklime hidden in the palm was thrown out!

Zabuza had already taken precautions against Kisame, and with a "whoosh", he jumped back to avoid the attack.

The other two people took a hit, and Lime got into their eyes and screamed.

"Kisame! You dare to attack your companion, do you know what will happen?!"

One of them roared in shock and anger while wiping the lime off his face.

In a team, it is common for the old members to bully the newcomer, and the newcomer generally accepts the adversity, but Kisame attacking his teammates by disagreeing, which is crazy.

When the man's voice fell.

"Puff!"

Kisame had come around behind him like a ghost, and pierced his heart with a kunai.

"As long as I kill the three of you, no one will know about it. Don't forget, it was you who wanted to kill me first, and I was acting on self-defense."

Kisame said with an expressionless face.

"You mad dog, I will kill you!"

The other person saw that his companion was killed, and immediately formed a seal in anger, releasing a high-pressure water gun-like water turbulent wave towards Kisame.
