"What are you doing?"
Kisame beckoned to the stunned Ame Anbu, and urged, "Hurry up, it will be bad if you delay the trip."
The Ame Anbu looked at each other for a while, and had to accept this situation.
Under Kisame's threat, they could only obey the order and escort him to Hozuki Castle together.
The team set off again.
But just after they walked a short distance, they were stopped by another person.
It is Jiraiya.
He revealed his identity, and politely asked Ame Ninja about some things, such as whether they saw any suspicious person near Kusagakure or not.
As the famous Konoha Sannin, Jiraiya's face is quite useful.
Hearing the words, they looked at Kisame sitting in the prison cart in unison.
'Oh?'
Jiraya followed their line of sight, and after seeing the prisoner's appearance, he couldn't help frowning, as he felt that the latter was a little familiar to him.
"You are... Kirigakure's Hoshigaki Kisame? The one who won the first place in the last Chunin exam?"
He looked surprised and finally remembered him.
"Yes Jiraiya-sama." Kisame nodded to Jiraiya.
"What's going on?" Jiraiya asked with a puzzled face. Why was the ninja of Kirigakure being escorted by Amegakure?
Kisame told his story again and gave an explanation.
Although Jiraya felt that it was strange, he was not free now, and other Shinobi village affairs were not his turn to take care of, so he hurriedly left.
He went straight to Kusagakure.
Kisame watched Jiraiya go away.
He realized that Jiraiya was probably following him all the way, but he failed to see through his identity and passed by him, the "Konoha invader".
Kisame withdrew his gaze and told the Ame ninja to continue on the road.
His current strength has reached the Kage level, enough to rank among the first-class powerhouses in the ninja world. But for Kisame, this is not enough.
The Konoha Ninjas that he has come into contact with in the past few days, Kushina's Adamantine Chains, Namikaze Minato's Flying Thunder God Technique, and Jiraiya's toad sage Technique
It can be said that one is stronger than the other.
Therefore, Kisame is desperate to become stronger, preferably devour the Box of Ultimate Bliss before the Third Ninja War engulfs the world.
Only then can he truly possess the power to change his life against fate.
At that time, no matter whether the opponent is a Jinchuriki or Konoha Sannin, Kisame can calmly press him.
Thinking of this, Kisame looked forward.
'Hozuki Castle, here I come.'
Two days later.
Jiraiya made a big circle outside, and finally returned to Konoha with nothing.
He walked into Hokage's office, reported the situation to the third Hokage, and unexpectedly found that Tsunade and Orochimaru were also there.
After half an hour.
Konoha Sannin, left the Hokage Building together and came to the pub where they usually go.
In the room.
"By the way, do you still remember the first place in the last Chunin exam more than three months ago?"
Jiraiya asked them suddenly, because he remembered Kisame whom he saw in the prison van that day.
"You mean Hoshigaki Kisame from Kirigakure?"
Orochimaru looked at Jiraiya in surprise, not understanding the latter's intention to suddenly mention this.
Tsunade frowned even more, put down the wine glass in his hand with a "bang", and said dissatisfiedly:
"Why do you mention that guy? He is bad luck."
Obviously, Tsunade was very upset.
Because, the shameless bastard had blamed her for Fuji's death, and had to prove her innocence.
So she naturally hated Kisame.
"I met him in Kusagakure as a prisoner. He was sent to Hozuki Castle. It is said that he deliberately killed his employer. It seems...that's what happened in the crew you were filming before?"
Jiraiya also explained the reason and asked Tsunade curiously.
"Is that so?"
Hearing this, Tsunade was stunned for a moment, then she couldn't help laughing, and gloating over his misfortune, "I am really happy!"
Under the surprised eyes of Jiraiya and Orochimaru, she picked up the wine bottle on the table and poured it into her throat.
Unjust is doomed to destruction.
Kisame has done so many dirty things, and finally got his retribution.
The more Tsunade thought about it, the happier she became, and the more she drank happily.
"Pity."
Orochimaru sighed faintly and muttered.
He heard that Hozuki Castle is a place where there is no return, a forgotten corner of the ninja world.
He is not feeling pity for Kisame, but for the Totsuka sword inherited by the Hoshigaki family.
Orochimaru has been obsessed with the Totsuka Sword since the last time he met Kisame in the alley late at night.
Of course, he also thought about whether Kisame was deceiving him or not, so he investigated it and the information about the Totsuka Sword from the other party's mouth was false.
It's an outright lie.
But what makes Orochimaru feel strange is that how did Kisame know the existence of the Totsuka Sword, and why did he deceive him?
In short.
In Orochimaru's eyes, Hoshigaki Kisame is by no means an ordinary Kirigakure Chunin, but a man full of mysteries, making him unable to see through.
However, he should never see Kisame again in his life, after all, the latter went to that prison.
Thinking of this, Orochimaru shook his head and stopped thinking about him.
In the Land of Grass.
In a vast inland sea, the wind and waves are turbulent, and a small boat followed the waves and moved forward with difficulty.
Several Ame Ninjas were lying on the boat, clinging to the edge of the boat, for fear of accidentally falling into the water.
Their eyes were filled with resentment, as they stared at Kisame's back at the bow of the boat. The latter stood there with his hands behind his back, his feet seemed to be rooted, and he was not afraid of the wind and waves.
In the past two days.
After Kisame joined the team, he began to eat and drink, and he ate so much that it was enough for five people.
The rations of the Ame ninjas were "borrowed" by Kisame, and everyone were hungry because of this.
Even more so.
Kisame lies in the prison car every day, just like a lord in the sedan chair, and after few hours, he will order everyone to stop.
Because he has to get out of the prison car, move his muscles and bones, walk around, and even take a hot bath.
This is not like he is going to jail, instead he is clearly traveling.
The original prisoner, Scarface, was also driven out of the prison car by Kisame, he was wearing handcuffs and shackles, and walked behind the team.
But fortunately for them, they will soon reach the destination of this trip.
'When we go to that place, he will be the one who cries.'
Two hours later.
In the far sea, an island rised above the sea, forming a steep and imposing cliff. On the cliff, there is a group of tall buildings.
That is Hozuki Castle.
"Be careful!" The Ame Anbu grasped the edge of the boat even more.
That's because, around the island, there are many giant sharp rocks emerging from the bottom of the water, forming invisible whirlpools nearby.
If you accidentally fall into the water, even a ninja can easily be swept away by the undercurrent and lose his life.
No wonder it is said that Hozuki Castle is a natural prison.
The team finally got ashore.
The team walked on the dirt road and went straight to Hozuki Castle.
The road is lined with large sour berries, red fruits, green leaves, swaying in the wind.
They are Demon fruit.
These Demon fruit will be blown in the prison from time to time by the strong wind from the sea. Ordinary red fruit is fine to eat, but after eating the white variant, it will make people paralyzed all over the body, and the effect will only subside after a day.
As a result, the prisoners on the island will try their best to get the white ghost fruit, eat it, and sneak into the medical cell to enjoy the air conditioning and hot water there.
"My stomach is a little uncomfortable, you guys wait for me here."
Kisame made an excuse, jumped out of the prison car, and walked behind the tree by the roadside.
He collected some white berries, stored them in a storage scroll, and swallowed the scroll in his stomach.
After entering the Hozuki Castle, this kind of white ghost fruit is a hard currency in the prison.
After doing this, Kisame returned to the prison car.
For the said prison car, the wheels had been removed when crossing the sea, leaving only an iron cage.
The Ame Anbu had no choice but to stand around the iron cage, lift Kisame who weighed more than 200 kilograms, and walk towards Hozuki Castle step by step.
Soon, their shoulders became unbearable, and their waists were too tired to straighten up.
"Kisame-sama, do you want to... come down for a walk?"
After walking for a while, the Anbu leader finally couldn't help himself and asked.
"No, I'm a felon who committed a serious crime. It's very dangerous. People like me must be locked in a prison van."
Kisame rejected the other party's good intentions, and sat cross-legged with his arms folded, with a righteous appearance.
When they heard these words they could only grit their teeth and continue to lift.
Finally, the group arrived in front of the gate of Hozuki Castle and saw this icy steel prison up close.
Scar face was ashen at the moment, his eyes were full of despair and fear, and his whole body was shaking.
On the other hand, Kisame showed a smile from the heart, and his eyes were full of hope and expectation, as if he had arrived home.
'Crunch.'
The door that was several meters high slowly opened.
In the open space at the entrance of the prison, several prison guards are counting the inmates who just arrived today.
There are more than a dozen guards around, staring at the prisoners like falcons, and if they find someone dishonest, they will shoot with their guns.
With the arrival of Scarface and Kisame, today's batch of prisoners will be all there.
'Boom.'
The Ame Anbu unloaded the iron cage, and after completing the handover with the prison staff, they passed in front of Kisame with a sneer and left in a hurry.
Although they want to see Kisame cleaned up, no one wants to stay in such a gloomy place for a long time.
Behind the prisoners, the door slowly closed.
