Chapter 64: 64
Early the next morning.
Kisame reported to the Mizukage Building.
He had previously represented Kirigakure in the Chunin Exam, and won the first place. It is reasonable to say that there will be rewards and promotions after returning to the village, such as promotion to Anbu or something.
But who would have thought that the third Mizukage to suddenly die.
In addition, with regarding to the death of Fuji, Kisame doesn't know if he will held accountable for it.
Kisame came out of the Mizukage Building.
He was told to go back and wait for news, saying that he would be assigned a task later.
As a result, there was no movement for several days.
Kisame was not in a hurry, so he stayed at home alone, exercising and practicing from morning to night every day.
After absorbing the Hiramekarei, his strength greatly increased, and he is almost equal to the collection of the seven ninja swordsmen. Once there is any situation, as long as he wants to leave, no one can keep him in the Blood Mist.
Kisame was confident in himself.
Soon a week passed.
After Kisame finished exercising, he jumped into the river in front of the house to take a bath. When he plunged into the bottom of the water, dived for a while, and emerged from the water again, he found that
A few Kirigakure Anbu wearing gray soft armor and masks were standing on the shore looking at him.
"Congratulations, Hoshigaki Kisame, your strength has been recognized by the top of the village. From today, you are a member of our Anbu."
One of them looked down at Kisame and announced to him.
'Wosh.'
Kisame stood up from the water, and as his mountain-like body approached several Anbu ninjas. A strong sense of oppression that was so close at hand made them change color and retreat subconsciously.
These people are old people from Anbu, and it is reasonable to say that they want to give the newcomer Kisame some pressure, but when they meet at this moment, they are deterred by Kisame's momentum.
When they came back to their senses, they all felt a little ashamed.
A female Anbu coldly said: "Put on your pants, Fuguki Suikazan wants to see you."
'Oh?'
Finally the day has come.
When Kisame heard these words, he was calm on the surface, but he was happy inside. In the anime, when Kisame joined Kirigakure Anbu, his immediate boss was the Fuguki Suikazan.
Kisame entered his house, changed clothes, and then followed a few people to the village.
Anbu, whose full form is "Ansatsu Senjutsu Tokushu Butai", was created by Konoha's second Hokage Senju Tobirama.
Each Anbu member of Ninja Village is an excellent ninja carefully selected from the village.
Their main responsibility is to protect the Kage and prevent foreign enemies from invading the ninja village, and sometimes they are also responsible for tasks such as reconnaissance of the enemy and assassination.
Generally speaking, Anbu is a shadow directly belonging to each village, but the reality is often more complicated.
Take Kirigakure as an example.
Fuguki Suikazan is a veteran of Anbu for many years. In the process of competing for the position of the fourth Mizukage this time, he made a compromise with Yagura and let the latter take the position.
The other party offered him the condition that he could retain control of Anbu.
This "Mist Hidden Danzo" is currently the most powerful person in the village, except for Mizukage Yagura and the Elder Genji.
The group soon came to the Anbu base.
The others stayed at the door, and the female Anbu took Kisame to see Fuguki Suikazan.
In a dimly lit room, the huge body of Suikazan was like a mountain of meat, sitting on a large chair. The bandaged Samaheda was leaning against the chair.
"Sir, Hoshigaki Kisame is here." The female Anbu bowed respectfully and reported to Suikazan.
"Okay, you go back first, I have something to talk to him alone." Suikazan waved his hand, signaling the Anbu Ninja to go back.
Soon there were only two men left in the room.
"Fuguki-sama."
Kisame stood on the spot and bowed to the other.
He is 1.92 meters tall, which is already very tall, but in front of the 2.5-meter tall giant, he still looks like a child.
Suikazan's huge body contains amazing chakra, it's no wonder he can control Samaheda.
"Hoshigaki Kisame."
Facing the Kisame, Suikazan showed a cold attitude, and frowned as soon as he opened his mouth to ask, "What happened with regards to the death of Fuji-dono?"
"It's my dereliction of duty, I didn't protect Fuji-dono." Kisame lowered his head and replied.
Suikazan sneered when he heard the words.
"In my opinion, not only is he not well protected, but there is a serious suspicion of you murdering the employer."
He picked up a stack of documents, which recorded the tasks that Kisame had performed in the past, and after looking at it twice, he asked coldly, "As a ninja, this is not the first time you have killed your employer, you know the consequences of doing so, right?"
"I don't understand what the lord is talking about."
Kisame pretending to be stupid. As long as he is not completely exposed, he will not admit it.
"Hmph, your mouth is quite hard."
Fuguki snorted coldly, threw the document aside, and shouted at Kisame in a deep voice, "Whether you did it or not, the Fuji family is putting pressure on the Daimyo of the Land of Water, and the Daimyo has found Kirigakure again, demanding that you must be executed and given an explanation for them."
When it came to the word "execution", Fuguki Suikazan's voice was cold, which suddenly lowered the atmosphere in the room to freezing point.
Kisame finally raised his head, looked at Suikazan, and stopped pretending.
'Since the Samaheda is right in front of him, why don't he just bring it away, right now?'
Kisame quickly weighed in his heart.
Suikazan has the Samaheda in his hands, and he has Kage-level strength. In addition, this is the Anbu base, and there are groups of Anbu ninjas outside the door...
If he is forced to take action, the risk is still too great.
Although Kisame's strength swelled, his mentality has not swelled, and he is still cautious as always. Fighting head on with the entire Kirigakure Anbu, is not in line with his style of fighting. As he likes to sneak attack and plot.
Once he miss the chance, he will be doomed.
'Then... figure out a way to escape?'
Kisame calmed down and had the intention of retreating. He glanced at the Samaheda in front of him, thinking in his heart that he could only find opportunities later.
So, under Suikazan's gaze, his face changed several times, and finally he pretended to be frightened and pleaded with the other party:
"Then... Fuguki-sama, what are you going to do with me?"
Suikazan narrowed his eyes.
"To be honest, you are a rare genius. It's really a pity to kill you like this. So the death penalty can be avoided, so I decided to send you to Hozuki Castle to serve your sentence, so as to give the Fuji family an explanation."
He spoke slowly and pronounced Kisame's sentence.
'Hozuki Castle?'
When Kisame heard these words, he was stunned for a moment, but he quickly remembered what kind of place it was.
First of all, Hozuki Castle and the Hozuki clan of Kirigakure have nothing to do with each other.
The so-called Hozuki Castle is a small island near Kusagakure, surrounded by the sea, and the island is named after Hozuki fruit.
The Hozuki Castle is a prison entrusted by major countries to be built near Kusagakure, which is specially used to detain criminal ninjas!
In various countries and ninja villages, as long as there are ninjas who commit serious crimes against the principles, they will be escorted to Hozuki Castle.
The person in charge there is good at sealing, and can put the Sky Prison Control Seal that bind chakra into the body of the criminal ninja, restricting the prisoner to condense chakra, so that he cannot use ninjutsu and becomes no different from ordinary people.
In this way, the criminal ninjas are brutally suppressed and controlled.
Moreover, if the prisoner tried to escape, the seal in his body would turn into a chain of flames, burning him alive.
Since its establishment, Hozuki Castle has been widely praised. No matter what kind of criminals they are, they can change their minds after arriving there.
Basically a go-to place.
Similar to the legendary hell.
Suikazan has been observing Kisame's reaction, and the latter's performance after hearing the sentence is much calmer than he thought.
'Yes, Not Bad.'
Suikazan nodded his head slightly, and it seemed that he was not mistaken.
So, he calmed his tone a little and continued to say:
"Hoshigaki Kisame, don't be too fast to despair. Don't forget, you are now a member of the Anbu of the Kirigakure, and my subordinate. I am sending you to Hozuki Castle this time, not to rot prison, but as an undercover."
'Undercover?'
"I beg your lord to make it clear." Kisame pretended to be attentive.
"I recently got a classified intelligence. According to the intelligence, there was an unexplained civil unrest in Sunagakure. During this civil unrest, the one who killed Kurosuki Raiga, Kushimaru Kuriarare and Jinpachi Munashi, Pakura of the Scorch release, committed a serious crime and has been sent to Hozuki Castle to serve her sentence."
Suikazan slowly said an astonishing news, and then instructed Kisame, "Your mission is to go undercover to that prison, and find a way to kill Pakura, and get rid of this enemy for Kirigakure."
'Sunagakure civil unrest, Pakura serving prison?'
After listening to these words from Suikazan, Kisame roughly guessed that the third Kazekage should have disappeared.
To be precise, the strongest Kazekage in history was secretly killed by the 16-year-old Sasori, leaving Sunagakure into a leaderless situation.
What happened over there must be similar to the recent incidents in Kirigakure, and it was nothing more than a show of power and profit.
Kisame thought that he could change Pakura's fate.
Now it seems that it has indeed changed, but it has become worse.
She went straight into the prison.
It seems that she must have had something very unpleasant with others in Sunagakure.
Back to this task.
On the surface, letting a newly promoted Chunin go to Hozuki Castle as a prisoner, whether it is to go to prison or assassinate the enemy village elite Jonin Pakura, is almost like sending him to death.
But if Kisame does not agree, there is no need to go to prison, and he will be killed on the spot here.
"What else do you not understand about this task?" Suikazan tapped the armrest of the chair with his fingers and asked.
"I will obey your arrangement, and will definitely complete the task to the death."
Kisame said in a firm tone and bowed deeply.
The reason why he agreed to Suikazan's idea was not to delay, nor to save Pakura,
He suddenly thought of something in Hozuki Castle.
Compared with that thing, even the Samaheda in front of him, the ninja sword that is most suitable for Kisame, in his eyes, this moment is worth nothing.
"Okay, as expected of my favorite ninja."
Suikazan nodded with satisfaction, and with a clapping of hands, several Anbu ninjas appeared out of nowhere and walked towards Kisame with shackles.
It seems that these people have already set up an ambush, but fortunately he did not rashly fight.
Kisame consciously stretched out his hands, was shackled, and was escorted down.
He will be imprisoned in Kirigakure's temporary cell, and will be sent out of the village early tomorrow morning to go to Hozuki Castle.
Seeing Kisame being escorted away, Suikazan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, he really appreciates Kisame, especially now that there is a shortage of talents, and it is even more necessary to cultivate such a young talent into a confidant.
Even in the face of the accountability to the Fuji family, as long as he is willing, there are ways to keep Kisame.
However, after looking carefully at Kisame's ninja career, he found that this person is good everywhere, but he is a little... bad for his superiors.
His previous superiors lost their lives for various reasons, which is really a bit evil.
After thinking about it, Suikazan dared not keep such an unlucky guy by his side, so he came up with this method.
At night, the moonlight is as cool as water.
The pale moonlight shone through the small window into the temporary cell in Kirigakure. Anbu ninjas patrolled back and forth outside the cell and closely guarded it.
In the cell, a heavy-handed prisoner, Hoshigaki Kisame, is being held.
Being in prison, it is impossible for other people to be happy, but Kisame is extremely excited.
He can't wait to put on a pair of wings and immediately fly to Hozuki Castle to be a prisoner.
Because, there is something there that makes him desperately desire.
Its name is the Box of Ultimate Bliss.
