The small storm caused by Kisame's "visit" to Konoha did not evolve into a big storm, but soon returned to calm with their departure.
After all, for Konoha, apart from losing some face, there was no loss.
Besides, even if Konoha questioned Kirigakure and Sixth Mizukage Tsunade, they would probably not be able to get a satisfactory answer from Tsunade, and would instead bring themselves shame.
Tsunade is the Goddess of ninjas, and has power over the entire ninja world. No one has forgotten this.
Therefore, after considering it, Minato made a wise choice to deal with this matter in a low-key manner, covering up the news that Kisame and others had come to Konoha.
However, from this day on, under the order of Minato, Konoha has greatly strengthened the protection of Naruto Uzumaki, the son of prophecy, to prevent such a situation from happening again.
And Naruto, after being defeated by Kimimaro with one move and witnessing the latter's terrifying power, was also stimulated, he changed his previous free and lazy temperament, and took the initiative to propose to his father that he will train hard.
In Hokage's office.
"Should we start now? Minato, after all, Naruto is less than five years old, is it a bit too hasty?" Jiraiya asked Minato Namikaze in surprise.
"Jiraiya-sensei, you were not only my teacher, but were also mentioned in the prophecy of the Great Toad Sage, in it you will become the son of the prophecy, that is, Naruto's teacher. Although it is still a little early, please start now and make Naruto strong."
Minato Namikaze stood up, bowed solemnly to Jiraiya, and said his request.
"I understand."
Hearing this, Jiraya nodded solemnly. Whether it was him or Minato Namikaze, both of them firmly believed in their hearts that Naruto would definitely become the savior who saved the world.
As the Great Toad Sage prophesied.
Kamui Space.
The sky is dark, desolate and lonely, so that people living in this world will have a deep loneliness from the bottom of their hearts.
"It has been two months since you became my students, and you must have definitely felt that the past two months have been the most tiring, painful and difficult period in your life. Unfortunately, this is just the beginning, because the next Month, I will carry out further targeted training for the three of you, so that you understand what is training while risking your life."
Kisame looked at the three in front of him and grinned, making them feel creepy.
Hearing this, Haku and Karin looked at each other, and they both saw fear in each other's eyes, as they trembled.
On the other hand, Kimimaro, who was on the side, had something strange going on to him at this time: his forehead was covered in sweat, and his lips became pale. Finally, he couldn't hold it, and fell to the ground with a thud.
"Kimimaro!"
Seeing this scene, Haku and Karin were both shocked and hurried to Kimimaro side, at a loss as to what to do.
Pakura frowned as she squatted down, and checked Kimimaro's physical condition, but she couldn't do anything, and finally she could only turn her attention to Kisame.
"He is suffering from a blood disorder inherited from the Kaguya clan." Kisame didn't seem surprised at all, and said calmly.
"Sensei is right."
Kimimaro spoke with difficulty. Although he did not know how Kisame saw it, he did develop some symptoms recently, which were very similar to the blood disease recorded in the family history.
"Kimimaro, bite me, I can cure you."
Karin rolled up her sleeves and stretched out her arm in front of Kimimaro's mouth, hoping to use her chakra to heal him.
"It's useless, Karin. Not only will your actions not cure him, but it may even worsen Kimimaro's condition. After all, you are both the heirs of the Sage body. ."
Kisame suddenly said, and Karin was so frightened that she quickly retracted her hand.
"What's going on with Kimimaro?" Pakura asked curiously when she heard Kisame say this.
Kisame didn't intend to beat around the bush, so he directly pointed his finger at Karin and Kimimaro, and explained the reason:
"The descendants of the Sage of Six Paths and his younger brother include the five clans of Uzumaki, Kaguya, Senju, Uchiha and Hyuga, the first three inherited the Sage body of the Otsutsuki clan, while Uchiha and Hyuga inherited the eyes, to put it more simply, inherit the power of yang and yin respectively.
However, while these descendants inherited the blood of their ancestors and gained benefits, they also had to bear the dangers brought by this power.
Because people are composed of two parts, the spirit and the body, if one part is too strong and the other part is too weak, it will cause imbalance in the human body, resulting in various symptoms.
This is the origin of blood disease. "
After hearing this, the three little seemed to understand something, but Pakura became thoughtful and asked.
"What do you mean?Is Kimimaro's Yang chakra is so strong that without the support of Yin Chakra, it leads to physical disorders and various diseases?"
After thinking about it, she asked Kisame.
"That's right."
Kisame nodded and continued, "As far as I know, the people of the Uchiha clan who awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan will also have symptoms of blood disease. It will cause blindness in both eyes. The reason for this is the same as that of Kimimaro's."
"Sensei, how can we cure Kimimaro's blood disease, please save him!" Haku cried anxiously.
"Yin and Yang reconciliation, as long as you inject yin chakra into Kimimaro's body to form a neutralization with his own yang chakra, it will be good."
Kisame smiled and answered.
"But, where are we going to find Yin Chakra?" Pakura asked with a frown.
"Do you still remember Uchiha Obito? He also awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan, but he could use his abilities frequently without any disease. That's because he transplanted the cells of Senju Hashirama to obtain The power of Yang chakra."
Kisame did not directly answer Pakura's question, but mentioned Obito's name.
Pakura is also a smart person who knows a little bit, and she suddenly realized: "I understand, you will do the opposite, if you want to cure Kimimaro's blood disease, you need the equivalent of the yin chakra, Or the eyes of Uchiha or the Hyuga clan?"
"The equivalent that is opposite of Hashirama cells is the Mangekyo Sharingan of the Uchiha clan."
Kisame smiled slightly, following Pakura's words, he took out a jar.
Inside the test tube, there were a pair of Sharingan.
These are the eyes of Uchiha Fugaku. On the battlefield of the third ninja war that year, after being captured by Kisame, it was used as a backup card. He didn't expect it to come in handy now.
"Are you going to?"
Seeing Kisame take out a jar containing Sharingan, Pakura already guessed what he was going to do.
Sure enough, Kisame walked in front of Kimimaro, but he first told Haku and Karin: "You guys go to the side first, the next picture may be bloody, you should not watch it."
After the two were taken aside by Pakura, Kisame put his fingers into Kimimaro's eyes without hesitation.
"Aaaaaaaa!"
Kimimaro let out two screams in succession, fell into a coma on the spot, and was silent.
After a moment.
"All right."
Kisame clapped his hands and stood up. In the test tube in his hand, the Sharingan were gone, they are replaced by freshly taken Kimimaro's eyes.
The three turned around, only to see Kimimaro with his eyes closed, they have blood around them, looking very terrifying.
"Kimimaro, are you alright!"
Haku and Karin ran to Kimimaro and asked with concern.
"I feel better."
Kimimaro said as he slowly opened his eyes, a pair of scarlet three comma pupils appeared in his eyes.
Looking at Kimimaro's eyes, Haku and Karin were shocked, and their minds fell into a state of daze. That's because Kimimaro unconsciously activated the illusion ability of Sharingan.
Kisame patted the two on the shoulders and woke them up, he then asked Kimimaro, "How does it feel to get a new pair of eyes?"
"Sensei, it's amazing! The Yin and Yang chakra in my body seems to have merged, and some incredible changes have taken place. I feel like I am stronger than ever before."
While experiencing it, Kimimaro replied happily.
In the process, his eyes changed again, finally forming a Mangekyo.
"Be careful to control your Mangekyo Sharingan, if you use Amaterasu, you may burn your teammates to death on the spot."
Kisame reminded.
Hearing this, Kimimaro was so frightened that he quickly turned his eyes aside and closed his eyes tightly.
After Kimimaro gradually got used to the newly transplanted Mangekyo Sharingan and made it return to the state of three comma Sharingan, Kisame continued:
"The pair of eyes I transplanted to you belonged to Uchiha Itachi and Sasuke's father, who is Uchiha's current patriarch, Uchiha Fugaku, and the yin energy it contains can greatly relieve your own blood disease symptoms. But if you want to go to the top and become a truly invincible powerhouse, then you may need to find a pair of more powerful eyes in the future, such as Uchiha's Rinnegan, or the Hyuga Clan's Tenseigan."
"Like Tsunade-sama, right?"
Kimimaro hearing what Kisame said, immediately understood what the latter meant, and thought of Tsunade.
Tsunade is very similar to Kimimaro. As a member of the Senju clan, she inherited the sage body of the Otsutsuki clan, and later obtained the Tenseigan, so she become the number one person in the ninja world.
Kisame smiled and said no more.
The second stage of training, as Kisame said, started soon.
Since he and Tsunade agreed not to use the power of the tailed beast in the competition his main goal is to help the three continue to develop their own Kekkei Genkai.
"Peng! Peng!"
Kisame split into two shadow clones, and one of them took Haku, whereas the other took Karin out of Kamui space, to their destinations.
Then, he instructed Kimimaro:
"You have mastered the Shikotsumyaku relatively well, so for the next period of time, you will stay here, learn the use of the curse mark with me, and adapt the power of Sharingan, until you have full control."
After arranging for Kimimaro to start training, Kisame said to Pakura:
"Please go back and report to Tsunade, disclose some information appropriately, and help me spy on the information of her disciples, okay?"
"Um."
Pakura nodded and was sent out of the Kamui space by Kisame.
After one day.
In the Land of Water, two strangers came to a village covered by heavy snow all the year round.
"Remember this place?"
Kisame pointed to the deserted deserted village in front of him and asked Haku, who was standing next to him.
"This is Snow Village, this is where my mother and I used to live."
Haku did his best to keep his inner peace and replied.
As soon as he came back here, the past flooded Haku's mind like a tide.
At this moment, he remembered his childhood, and also the scene where his mother, Yukino, had to kill his father and the villagers with her own hands in order to protect him.
This is the tragic fate of the Yuki clan.
"If one day, the fate of the Yuki clan falls on you and your mother again, do you have the confidence and strength to protect her?" Kisame asked again.
"I will definitely protect my mother from being hurt by anyone, I swear." Haku said without hesitation, with a firm expression on his face.
"Very well, remember this resolution of yours, because you need it to get through the next month."
When Kisame heard the answer he wanted, he took Haku away from the Snow Village and continued north.
Two days later, the two came to the territory of the Land of Snow, a wasteland of ice and snow.
"Understand the truth of the ice release and merge with the snow and ice in the world, only then can you survive. Otherwise, you will be buried in this snow field forever."
Kisame said and then disappeared.
"Sensei!"
Watching Kisame leave with blank eyes, after experiencing the initial panic, he gradually calmed down.
Knowing his teacher's character, Haku knew that this is not a joke.
So, there is a real possibility that he will die.
So, facing the snowstorm and the endless desolate snow field, Haku started on his road to survive in the wilderness while recalling Kisame's words.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Another Kisame's clone brought Karin to an island above the sea, which is the ruins of the Uzushiogakure.
Looking around, there are ruins and destruction everywhere. The once prosperous and lively Uzushiogakure has now become an uninhabited ruin and together with the Uzumaki clan, it has been forgotten by the world.
"Karin, do you know why the Uzumaki Clan perished?" Kisame asked.
"Mom said that it was because everyone was afraid of our power and worried that the Uzumaki Clan would use the sealing technique to control the tailed beasts and create weapons of war, so they united to destroy Uzushiogakure."
Karin whispered as her eyes darkened.
"So, is that why you've been afraid to use your power?"
Kisame continued to ask. He had already seen that Karin had been restraining herself subconsciously all the time, as if the power of the Uzumaki Clan is a sin.
"Sensei, I.." Karin was unable to respond.
"Karin, remember that the sin of the Uzumaki clan is not because they are born strong, but because they are not strong enough. There is only one original sin in this world, and that is weakness."
Kisame stared at Karin with a deep gaze as he said this.
Then, he took Karin to the shrine in the Uzushiogakure. In the main hall, there are piles of white bones everywhere. It can be imagined how many people of the Uzumaki clan died tragically here.
Seeing all this with her own eyes shocked Karin even more.
"Karin, you are born with a great power, but you need courage and determination to wake it up. For the next month, live in this ruin, listen to the voices of those who have died, and bear their will to change. Be strong."
After saying that, Kisame left Karin in a daze and turned to leave.
