Chapter 463 The Young Kisame, the Butterfly Effect of Amegakure
"Lord Ishikawa, I am Kisame Hoshigaki, a Chunin from Kirigakure. I am here on the orders of the Mizukage to take care of your meals, lodging, and travel arrangements for the next few days."
At the Hidden Mist Inn, a shark-faced boy knocked on the door with neither humility nor arrogance, but his shark-like eyes inadvertently swept over the large sword Samehada leaning against the corner of the room with a fiery gaze.
He really wanted that big sword!
"It's you. Looks like I really don't have much luck with women..." Ishikawa muttered with disappointment upon seeing the person who had arrived.
He had initially thought that Kirigakure would send a female ninja to act as a guide, but given the protagonist's current status, it should at least be Mei Terumi herself coming.
Then something interesting happens, and a melodramatic love-hate relationship unfolds!
Unexpectedly, the result was Kisame, a shark-faced straight man.
Okay! He was definitely overthinking it...
"You know me? Lord Ishikawa." Kisame asked in surprise when he saw Ishikawa acting as if they were old friends.
Such a powerful guy, how could I not have any impression of him if I had met him before?
Kisame felt more admiration than hostility towards Ishikawa.
A man who can subdue Kirigakure—this powerful ninja is not someone he can despise or look down upon!
"Yes, we encountered each other in the battle when you used the Three-Tails to launch an attack. You and that young Chunin from the Hozuki clan were quite outstanding..." The door next to her suddenly opened, and Nohara Rin came out to explain concisely.
Although Ishikawa did not participate in the last battle, that did not prevent her from using it as an excuse.
"I see, Lady Rin..." Kisame suddenly realized and politely greeted Nohara Rin.
He's just a Chunin from Kirigakure now, while Rin Nohara is the renowned Konoha Third Ninja, the Violent Rose, and now the Jinchūriki of the Three-Tails, so she has to be respected.
The painful lessons of the village had not yet faded, and he could not allow the other party to find any fault with him.
“Let’s go, show us around first.” Ishikawa nodded to Rin, creating a shadow clone to guard the Six-Tails Jinchuriki, then looked meaningfully at Kisame, “If you satisfy me, I might as well give you this greatsword, Samehada.”
This is a future tailless tailed beast. It wouldn't be bad to use this to plant a seed in Kirigakure!
"Really??" Kisame's pupils contracted upon hearing this, and he was overjoyed, his face showing an expression of disbelief and surprise.
Those are the Seven Ninja Swords of the Hidden Mist, weapons that can cost a village dearly. Would they really give them to him so easily?
"That depends on your performance, pressure, Masne~" Ishikawa smiled calmly, giving the other person a meaningful look as he walked out of the hotel.
Seeing this, Nohara Rin smiled sweetly and quickly followed, walking alongside him!
This is a rare treat for just the two of us, we definitely need to explore it properly...
Kisame, acting as the tour guide, immediately got into character, walking around and introducing the local customs and culture of Kirigakure while answering the villagers' various questions, all amidst their diverse gazes.
While Ishikawa and his companion strolled leisurely, gathering information about Kirigakure, the discussion at the Mizukage Building finally came to an end at night.
"Then it's decided. We'll use 1 billion ryo to redeem the Six-Tails and the six ninja swords. We'll send a contract directly to the Fourth Hokage, stipulating that the compensation will be paid in installments over ten years!"
The Fourth Mizukage, Shikuro, slammed his fist on the table, making a final decision, and had no intention of negotiating with Ishikawa.
Firstly, this matter concerns the diplomacy between the two countries, so Ishikawa cannot make the decision on his own and will definitely consult the Hokage.
Another issue is that this guy and the Three-Tails Jinchuriki are too arrogant, and he's worried that if he talks to them, they'll try to bargain!
"Lord Mizukage, I still suggest a twenty-year installment plan. This will alleviate the village's financial burden and ensure twenty years of peace between the village and Konoha. If any unforeseen events occur during this period, we can also suspend compensation to minimize losses!"
An elder from the Mist Village stood up and suggested that they should still try to persuade them.
"Of course I know that, but Konoha definitely won't agree if it takes too long. Rather than getting bogged down in a dispute and having them raise the price, it's better to cut our losses decisively!" The Fourth Mizukage shook his head and refused, disagreeing with the decision.
If he could, he would like to pay in installments over twenty years, but now that the Hidden Mist Village is in its most dangerous moment, it is no longer in a position to continue maneuvering and fighting for its interests.
Just wait, as long as he gets the Six-Tails back, he'll have a way to protect the village.
Isn't it just a Jinchūriki?
He, the Fourth Mizukage, Shikoku, risked becoming the Jinchūriki of the Six-Tails so that he could also contribute to the future of the village.
"Yes, Lord Mizukage..." Seeing that Shicang was determined, everyone, including Master Yuan, reluctantly agreed.
Meanwhile, in Amegakure Village.
"You want to join Amegakure? Sorry, my village doesn't accept wandering ninjas." Hanzo looked at the three young men opposite him and refused them without even thinking.
Although these three guys are very strong and defeated his most capable Jonin subordinates, their appearance is still too suspicious!
The wandering ninjas are incredibly strong; I would never believe they weren't mentored by someone.
At this critical juncture, with nations locked in a delicate balance, it is the perfect time for Amegakure, which is surviving in the cracks, to reclaim lost territory and secure its dominance. It is imperative to prevent spies from gaining any advantage!
"Lord Hanzo, we are not some wandering ninjas, but native ninjas born in the Land of Rain." Seeing Hanzo refuse, Yahiko immediately became hot-blooded and pointed to his headband, shouting.
“Although Yahiko took this from the corpses of Amegakure ninjas, we should still be considered Amegakure ninjas,” Nagato followed up, his raised head and exposed right eye causing Hanzo’s pupils to shrink abruptly.
"That eye..."
Hanzo stared intently at Nagato's right eye, and was overjoyed to see that legendary eye.
The Rinnegan! It's actually the Rinnegan of the legendary Sage of Six Paths!!
Could this be their chance to rise again?
"Tell me, who is your teacher? What is your purpose in joining Amegakure? If your answers satisfy me, I may consider letting you join Amegakure." Taking a deep breath, Hanzo's eyes flashed with a sharp light as he questioned.
If the other party is not worth cultivating, then he can only take those eyes!
"Jiraiya, our teacher is Jiraiya, one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha." Without hesitation, Yahiko quickly responded with excitement upon seeing Hanzo concede.
They didn't even notice the fleeting killing intent in Hanzo's eyes...
"We joined Amegakure to revive Amegakure and avenge Konoha," Nagato continued, lifting his bangs to reveal his scarlet left eye with three tomoe. "My left eye was taken by a Konoha ninja!"
"Jiraiya? Revenge on Konoha? Sharingan??"
For a moment, Hanzo was taken aback by the series of nonsensical changes.
However, none of that matters. What matters is that the other party's goals align perfectly with his interests!
"Welcome to Amegakure. From today onwards, you are Amegakure's Jonin!"
Amidst the tense and anxious anticipation of Yahiko and the other two, Hanzo remained silent for a moment before suddenly nodding solemnly in agreement to the application.
"Thank you, Lord Hanzo! Please guide us in the future!!" Yahiko and the other two said in unison, their hearts pounding with excitement.
Finally, they are about to begin pursuing their dreams...
