Step… step… step… Feipu, wearing an Akatsuki uniform, walked over, leading Kisame.
Biwa Jūzō and the other two were somewhat surprised to see Kisame.
All four of them, every single one, were elites of Hidden Mist, but they had all left Hidden Mist for various reasons.
Biwa Jūzō, as one of the original Seven Ninja Swordsmen, was the oldest and most senior. Next was Kisame Hoshigaki, a few years younger than Biwa Jūzō.
Then Zabuza and Suigetsu, both of whom were juniors.
Feipu found it a bit amusing to see Biwa Jūzō and the other two. The first, second, and third generations of the Executioner's Blade were all here, weren't they?
And they were all little brats, truly a lineage of succession.
Ding… ding… ding… A series of dinging sounds rang out.
Natsuki then remembered that the fates of these three had been changed by Natsuki, and he now had many Water Style skills.
“Ding! Congratulations to the host for significantly changing the life trajectories of Zabuza Momochi, Suigetsu Hozuki, and Biwa Jūzō.”
“Congratulations to the host for obtaining: Water Style: Water Dragon Jutsu x2, Water Style: Izanami x1 (can be exchanged for a Ninjutsu of the same type).”
Water Dragon Jutsu is useless; I can use it myself. Exchange it, exchange it.
Izanami is a good item. Is it classified under Water Style?
Then I wonder if the little bearded man’s Vapor Incineration is also.
Unfortunately, among the two Water Style Ninjutsu, only exchanging for Izanami is the most cost-effective.
Under Natsuki's choice, the reward became Water Style: Izanami x3.
While Natsuki was checking the rewards, the group began to reminisce.
“Yo, isn’t this Senior Biwa Jūzō? So you’ve joined the Akatsuki too.”
Biwa Jūzō looked at Kisame, very familiar with this excellent junior: “I didn’t expect you to return to Hidden Mist either, Kisame.”
“Hehehe, my teacher specifically told me to make a trip, otherwise I wouldn’t want to come back to this place.”
“Teacher?”
Biwa Jūzō was also seeing Feipu in person for the first time. He didn't know that Feipu and Kisame had such a relationship.
Natsuki, in his Feipu guise, was checking the rewards. Hearing this, he subconsciously pulled out a Hidden Mist forehead protector and dangled it twice.
Biwa Jūzō sized up Feipu, estimating his age, and said:
“I didn’t expect Feipu, who is in the same organization as me, to be an old senior from Hidden Mist.”
However, Biwa Jūzō had no impression of this person; at least he had never seen him in Hidden Mist before.
Swish… Suigetsu suddenly leaped up at this moment, his hand reaching for Samehada, the large sword behind Kisame Hoshigaki.
Kisame Hoshigaki tilted his neck: “Hmm?”
Then he threw a punch, piercing through Suigetsu with a 'poof'.
A hint of a smile appeared on Suigetsu’s face as his hand touched Samehada.
Clang… The large sword Samehada suddenly shook.
Suigetsu was abruptly repelled.
Kisame suddenly realized: “Oh, no wonder you look so familiar. Isn’t this Mangetsu Hozuki’s younger brother, Suigetsu?”
“Why are you still acting like a brat? Aren’t you going to grow up?”
“Damn it!”
Suigetsu was about to speak but was held back by Zabuza behind him.
“Long time no see, Senior Kisame.”
“Oh, brat, after so many years, you’re still this ghostly appearance.”
Zabuza said in a muffled voice: “I didn’t expect to meet Senior Kisame this time.”
“This isn’t like your personality, Zabuza.”
Kisame naturally didn’t know about Zabuza’s psychological changes over the years, only feeling that this person was not like Zabuza at all.
“Clap, clap, clap, clap…”
Feipu clapped his hands: “Save the reminiscing for later. I don’t have time for you to waste.”
Zabuza pulled the sulking Suigetsu behind him; they had no right to speak here.
Biwa Jūzō also agreed, saying: “Our target this time, where is Killer Bee?”
Zabuza and Suigetsu were startled, only then realizing that the mission target was the Eight-Tails.
Feipu took in the expressions of the few people in front of him. It seemed Biwa Jūzō hadn't told these two about the mission.
He took out a map and pointed to it.
“We are here, and Killer Bee is in this vicinity.”
“Let’s go.”
After marking the location, Feipu walked ahead, with Kisame following, full of fighting spirit.
Biwa Jūzō, somewhat bewildered, caught up: “Senior Feipu, you haven’t told us the battle plan yet.”
Feipu waved his hand, his back to him: “No need for a battle plan. This time, Kisame will be the main attacker, and we’ll just assist from the side.”
Biwa Jūzō and Zabuza exchanged glances, their eyes filled with shock and confusion.
Suigetsu scoffed: “Ha, what a joke! That’s the Eight-Tails, Killa…”
Pfft… Zabuza punched Suigetsu’s head into clear water.
“Brat, you don’t get to speak here.”
Zabuza had some understanding of Kisame’s abilities, not to mention Kisame’s teacher was also present.
So he directly shut Suigetsu up.
Suigetsu snorted, very displeased, and picked up a cup to rehydrate… Because there was an Uchiha as an informant.
In a short amount of time, Feipu and the others found Killer Bee, who was walking and rapping.
Swish, swish, swish.
As the sounds of cutting through the air subsided, the group instantly blocked all directions around Killer Bee.
“I finally found you, Eight-Tails, Killer Bee.” Kisame looked at Killer Bee with excitement.
“Yo, I’m in the forest ~ ♪ just relaxing ♬ A few guys ♩, found me huh ♪ yo stupid guys, damn guys.”
Killer Bee was not flustered after being surrounded.
Instead, he sang a bizarre rap, danced exaggeratedly, and even spun around twice before stopping.
Suigetsu couldn't help but complain: “Why is the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki like this?”
Biwa Jūzō snorted coldly: “Don’t underestimate him because of his appearance.”
Zabuza, on the other hand, was calmly observing Killer Bee, trying to figure out the best place to strike.
Feipu saw that there was no one around Killer Bee and felt that this fight might be a bit difficult.
He wondered when Itachi and Shisui would arrive.
Killer Bee was writing and drawing in a small notebook while dancing nimbly.
“Yo, know why ♪ I’m ♬ alone? You guys, stupid guys!”
“♫ ♬ Because that’s how I can surround you, ~ baby ♫!”
“♫ No matter who you are ~ ♪, I’m gonna smash your heads yeah! ♬”
Although he didn't know exactly who was opposite him, seeing their clothes, he knew they were members of the Akatsuki.
Meeting on the battlefield, Killer Bee was alone.
So, after being surrounded, Killer Bee immediately began his Tailed Beast transformation.
He skipped all previous stages and went straight into full Tailed Beast transformation.
With the sound of his body expanding, giant octopus tentacles began to extend from behind Killer Bee.
In a few seconds, he transformed into his Tailed Beast form.
Amidst the frantic surge of Chakra.
Samehada, held by Kisame, trembled wildly.
“It seems you really like this Chakra, then let you eat your fill.”
Whoosh… Whoosh… Kisame, taking advantage of Killer Bee’s transformation, directly threw Samehada like a meteor hammer.
A dull thud.
It was caught by Killer Bee’s tentacles after his transformation!
