'Sage Hoshigaki Kisame.'

Kisame then solemnly expressed his gratitude to Katsuyu.

"Kisame-sama, you were in the critical period of training senjutsu just now, so I didn't disturb you. There is an issue in Kirigakure that needs your attention, so they urgently need you to go back and preside over the overall situation..."

Katsuyu said anxiously.

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Kisame frowned.

He originally wanted to take this opportunity to have a few more words with Katsuyu to improve his powers, but now it seems that it is not the time.

"I see."

Thinking of this, Kisame nodded as he released the jutsu.

'Huuu.'

He fell from the sky, and when he was about to land, he controlled his strength and landed lightly.

Not far away, Tsunade seemed to be shocked by the Laughing Buddha jutsu performed by Kisame.

Seeing this, he walked over and slapped her on the shoulder, and encouraged her:

"Come on, I believe you will be able to complete your senjutsu training. I'm still waiting for you to challenge me. There's something going on in the village, so I won't accompany you. I will go back first."

Tsunade was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted, and rolled her eyes: "Who wants you to accompany me? Get out of here, don't affect my mood."

"Ha ha."

Kisame was not angry, but instead laughed.

He is in a good mood because he learnt Senjutsu.

Kisame put his hand into his pocket, took out a ninjutsu scroll, and then, grabbed Tsunade's wrist and shoved the scroll into her palm.

"Tsunade, don't yell, I won't beat you again. This scroll consists of the multi-shadow clone jutsu. You have to learn it before the second stage, this can save a lot of time."

Kisame said to Tsunade as he released her wrist. He then made a seal in front of her, and disappeared from the Shikkotsu forest with a bang.

Damn, this guy does whatever he wants.

Tsunade rubbed her red wrist with a look of resentment, but then opened the scroll and found that Kisame indeed did not tease her, it was really multiple shadow clone jutsu.

"The relationship between Tsunade-sama and Kisame-sama is really good."

A small Katsuyu climbed onto Tsunade's shoulder and said softly.

Hearing this, Tsunade almost jumped up and quickly denied it: "Katsuyu, don't talk nonsense, how can you tell that I have a good relationship with that bastard? I can't wait to punch him to death."

"Tsunade-sama, as always a tsundere, Hehehe."

The little slug smiled softly, like Tsunade's best friend, and started gossiping seriously, "Although I am not a human, I can see that although you two have been arguing, you are not real enemies. , but like... a man and a woman in love."

When Tsunade heard this, her expression became very strange for a while, she was silent for a moment, and suddenly asked Katsuyu:

"What's your impression of Hoshigaki Kisame? It's just the two of us here, don't worry, I won't tell him."

"Kisame-sama... is very good. He is only fifteen years old, and he is already a Demi-God in the ninja world, and he is even more powerful than Hashirama-sama when he was young, which is really amazing."

Katsuyu couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and her evaluation of Kisame is very high.

Then, it erected a pair of tentacles and asked Tsunade curiously: "Tsunade-sama, do you really... like Hoshigaki Kisame?"

Katsuyu have lived for thousands of years and have no concept of age. But it also knows that in the human world, at the age of Tsunade, she can be a mother to Kisame. If the two are together, they will definitely encounter a lot of resistance from the world.

But if it's true love, what does age matter?

Since the death of her first love, Kato, Tsunade has been depressed for more than ten years. She has been closing herself up and living alone in this cruel world.

This is something that Katsuyu saw with her own eyes.

Therefore, as Tsunade's friend, it also hopes that Tsunade can come out of depression to bravely pursue love, and start a new life.

Tsunade didn't know what Katsuyu is thinking of, if she does she would not know whether to laugh or cry.

"Katsuyu, in fact, Kisame... likes..."

Tsunade looked at the little slug on her shoulder, who was tilting it's head with a innocent look on its face, listening to her words.

She hesitated, but in the end she didn't tell Katsuyu that Kisame is not interested in human women, he likes her.

"Oh, let's talk about it next time."

Tsunade sighed, shook her head, took off her coat, and walked to the hot spring not far away.

Anyway, with her there, Kisame will not be able to mess around, and maybe after a while, his crazy fantasy about "cross-species love" will subside.

Until then, it is better not to let Katsuyu know about it, lest it be bothered.

.....

Kirigakure.

"Elder Genji, something bad happened! The Daimyo messenger is leaving the village early this morning, and Terumi Mei is trying desperately to persuade him, but it won't take long. You should go and have a look."

A Kiri ninja hurried into the office with this bad news.

Hearing him, Elder Genji's face couldn't help but change, he quickly stood up, and rushed to the hotel where the ambassador of the Daimyo stayed with a cane.

As soon as he arrived outside the hotel, he saw a group of people in the lobby on the first floor, walking towards the door. The leader was the Daimyo messenger holding a fan.

"Sir, why are you leaving suddenly? Is your stay unsatisfactory? If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them. We will correct them immediately and try our best to meet your requirements."

Terumi Mei followed the messenger with a very humble attitude, for fear of making the other party unhappy.

"Hmph, this kind of shabby hotel is not a place for people like me to live at all. The air here is moldy and damp, just like the basement. It's really unbearable. If I don't leave, I'll get sick sooner or later."

The Daimyo messenger looked disgusted and covered the lower half of his face with a fan, as if he was allergic to the air in Kirigakure.

"However, this is already the best hotel we have here."

Terumi Mei said in a low voice with an aggrieved face.

As Elder Genji's assistant, her mission for the past few days was to take care of the daily life of the envoys of the Daimyo Palace and others. As a result, she was harassed in every possible way and used as a maid.

For the sake of the village, she endured silently.

Just when Terumi Mei was helpless, Elder Genji finally came to the rescue and said to the Daimyo envoy with a smile on his face:

"Sir, you haven't seen the Mizukage yet, why are you in such a hurry to return to the Daimyo Palace?"

"Smelly old man, aren't you too embarrassed to ask me?"

The Daimyo envoy showed a sneer, "My lord has already given Kirigakure a chance, but you didn't cherish it and wasted my time. Since Mizukage is hiding and dare not see me, I'll go back and report to the Daimyo, you guys just wait. The army of the Land of water will press down on the territory, razing Kirigakure to the ground."

Facing this threat from him, the faces of everyone present in Kirigakure changed greatly.

"Lord Messenger, if the war between Daimyo Palace and Kirigakure breaks out, it will not benefit both parties, and will only cause a lot of unnecessary casualties. Moreover, once the Land of Water falls into civil strife, it will be coveted by other great powers and Ninja Village... "

Terumi Mei is still struggling, trying to convince the Daimyo messenger.

However, before she could finish her words, she was slapped by the ambassador, leaving five red fingerprints on her face, which caused a burning pain for a while.

"A little girl is also making noise here."

The messenger looked disdainful, and after speaking, he pushed Elder Genji away and walked towards the door of the hotel.

"Elder Genji, what should we do now, do I lead someone to tie up these guys first, and wait for Mizukage-sama to come back?"

Mangetsu looked at the back of the messenger and said eagerly as he could no longer bear this arrogant guy.

"Mangetsu, don't be impulsive. Once you do that, there's really no going back."

Elder Genji quickly stopped Mangetsu.

After all, the messenger in front of him came on behalf of the Daimyo of the Land of Water.

Based on this alone, Daimyo has enough reasons to dispatch a large army to destroy Kirigakure.

At this time, the Daimyo messenger had walked out of the hotel's door.

However, as soon as he came out of the door, he felt darkness in front of him, and he was caught off guard and bumped into a person head-on.

"Are you blind?"

The Daimyo messenger was hit, and yelled at the person who stood infront of him.

He then looked up and found that it was a man nearly two meters tall, whose body was like a mountain, blocking the door of the hotel.

The two looked at each other, and the man suddenly grinned wide, showing a bright smile at the ambassador, and the two rows of sharp fangs shone with a cold light.

"You, who are you..."

The Daimyo envoy trembled, and his aura immediately weakened a bit. When he saw this man, he instinctively had a kind of fear, as if being stared at by a ferocious beast.

"I'm the Fifth Mizukage Hoshigaki Kisame, I heard that you are looking for me?"

The man said, his voice sounded unexpectedly young, even a little immature.

As soon as he heard that the other party was Mizukage, the Daimyo messenger was startled at first, but after regaining his senses, he immediately became headstrong again.

"Hoshigaki Kisame, right? You finally dared to come out? Do you know that your actions have already angered Daimyo-sama, and you and the entire Kirigakure are in danger..."

With one hand on his hips, he pointed at the Kisame's nose with the other, and started scolding him.

Kisame narrowed his eyes when he heard that the Daimyo of the Land of Water was very dissatisfied with him, and asked Kirigakure to negotiate with Konoha again to strive for more benefits for the Daimyo Palace.

"It turned out to be such a trivial matter, why make such a move."

Kisame interrupted the chattering Daimyo messenger and said meaningfully, "Don't worry, Messenger, I will immediately leave for the Daimyo Mansion. After seeing the Daimyo, I will have a cordial and friendly negotiation with him to resolve the matter satisfactorily."

"It's for your own good."

The Daimyo messenger snorted coldly, and wanted to continue his scolding, but he felt that the other party's eyes exuded malicious intentions, which made him feel a little nervous.

Thinking of this, he didn't want to stay in Kirigakure for a moment, so he shouted sharply at Kisame:

"Get out of the way! I have to rush back to Daimyo Palace first and report to Daimyo. If I am delayed, Kirigakure will not be able to take this responsibility."

"Wait."

Kisame smiled and stopped the Daimyo messenger.

"What else is there?" The Daimyo envoy frowned, feeling bad, so he looked a little sullen.

"Did you hit my subordinate just now?"

Kisame looked down at the Daimyo envoy, asked with a half-smile, and beckoned Terumi Mei to come over.

"Tsk tsk."

After seeing the bright red palm print on Terumi Mei's face, he stretched out his big hand to touch it, shook his head and said, "You really beat such a beautiful girl. Are you even a human?"

As he spoke, a warm chakra passed from his palm to Terumi Mei's face, causing the redness and swelling on her face to subside a little.

"Mizukage-sama, I'm fine." Terumi Mei's heart warmed, and there were faint tears in her eyes.

When the Daimyo envoy heard Kisame scolding him, how could he bear it, he jumped up on the spot and cursed back:

"What's wrong with me beating her? You ninjas are just a bunch of despicable things. When I beat you people, I think my hands become dirty."

As a nobleman of the Daimyo Palace, the messenger, relying on the nobility of his own bloodline, looked down on Kisame and others from the bottom of his heart.

But the next second, he paid the price for what he said and did.

'Snap.'

Without saying a word, Kisame raised his big hand and slapped the messenger in the face.

Under this force, the man was suddenly pulled off the ground like a spinning top, and rotated several times in mid-air, and finally fell to the ground in a daze.

"How dare you!"

Seeing this, the followers of the Daimyo messenger scolded Kisame one after another, but before they stepped forward to help him, Kisame released his aura with just one look, scaring the group to the point where they couldn't move.

"Hoshigaki Kisame, you are finished! I am the envoy of Daimyo Palace. You dare to treat me like this, the Daimyo will never let you go!"

The Daimyo envoy laid on the ground, covering his face in pain and shouted in pain.

'Ha ha.'

Kisame gave a stern laugh, he grabbed his collar and lifted the latter like a chicken.

"Don't worry, you will return to the Daimyo Palace. It's just that what the Daimyo sees will be your corpse."

After Kisame finished saying, he exerted force on his hand,

'Cliik',

and then he broke the neck of the Daimyo messenger.

The man was terrified and horrified, and just like that, he lost his breath and couldn't rest his eyes.
