Kisame looked very happy after receiving Hinata Zou's reply. After taking a deep breath, he returned to the temporary camp.
Although the requirements of the mission were outrageous, he still had a vague yearning to become a Mizukage in his heart.
Which ninja villager doesn't want to be the leader of the ninja village?
Hinata Zou is not the only one who has such thoughts. Although Kisame is not good at words, he can also detect the delicate thoughts of his subordinates.
They intentionally or unintentionally want to participate in the Mizukage campaign.
In this way, he became a Mizukage and they could be reused.
The rest soon ended and the team set off again.
On the way back to Kirigakure Village, Shennong tried to escape several times, but was discovered by Samehada, who fiercely devoured the chakra in Shennong's body.
After experiencing the baptism of natural energy for many years, it has become the strongest ninja sword.
In desperation, Shennong had no choice but to look at Kisame and said: "Kissame is all from the same organization, we can talk."
"Samekiss..."
Kisame ignored Shennong, and instead let Samehada continue to extract Shennong's chakra, keeping him in a weak state at all times.
After repeating it several times, Shen Nong showed a sinister look and said, "Aren't you afraid that I will find Akatsuki's spy in Kirigakure?"
After hearing this, Kisame slowly stopped, smiled, shook his head and said, "You are a member of Akatsuki, no one will believe what you say."
With that said, Kisame continued on his way.
Shen Nong's face suddenly stiffened. He didn't expect Kisame, who usually had thick eyebrows and big eyes, to have such a cunning side.
With Kisame's current status in Kirigakure Village, and if he captures an Akatsuki member like him, even if he tells the truth, he will be treated as a slander.
Even if there is a misunderstanding, the surrounding Anbu will become Kisame's supporters.
Now, the only one who can save him is Orochimaru, but Orochimaru is still lurking in Tian Country.
Carefully recalling the experiences of these days, Shennong felt a little regretful about leaving the Akatsuki organization. It seemed that all the difficulties started from there.
Not long after, the ANBU team arrived at Kirigakure.
Having experienced two turmoils, Kirigakure had long been guarded by jounin, and he soon saw the returning ANBU team. They seemed to have brought prisoners and trophies with them.
"Notify Yuanshi and the elders...that members of the Akatsuki organization have been captured."
With these words behind him, Kisame led his team towards the ANBU base, leaving behind the jonin who were looking at each other.
"Kissame-sama really captured the Akatsuki members?"
"Kissame-sama captured the Akatsuki members and their henchmen!"
"Kissame-sama defeated the Akatsuki organization and captured an official Akatsuki member alive!"
…
The rumors became increasingly outrageous and quickly spread throughout Kirigakure Village, becoming a hot topic at the moment.
At a time when the life and death of the Fourth Mizukage and the Six-Tails Jinchuuriki are unknown, the news of capturing the Akatsuki members alive is undoubtedly a shot in the arm for Kirigakure.
Even if the rumors are false, even if they only capture peripheral members of the Akatsuki organization, they will still choose to believe it.
Inside a building.
Mei Terumi was sitting on the tatami, with a fashionable male model magazine in her hand, listening to her subordinates report on the situation in the village.
"Qing, what do you think of the current situation?"
Saying that, Terumi Mei looked at Ao in the wheelchair beside her, her face darkened a bit.
After being attacked by a masked man for the second time, her deputy Ao lost the ability to become a ninja and could only provide a reference for her.
Qing thought seriously for a while and said: "No matter whether the behavior of capturing Akatsuki members is true or false, given the current situation, we must admit this, otherwise it will shake the hearts of the village."
"I understand." Terumi Mei nodded.
At this time, Qing said again: "But ANBU Chief Kisame, spreading the news at this time is not a small deal."
Terumi Mei frowned after mentioning Kisame.
Kisame had the experience of defecting. Although it was most likely the fourth generation ordered it, defection is defection. If it weren't for the scarcity of talents in the village and the guarantee of the fourth generation, he would never have become the ANBU minister.
Previously, Master Genshi had just given the requirements to become Mizukage candidates, and Kisame had brought back the Akatsuki members.
It's hard to tell whether this was intentional or not.
Originally, there were not many ninjas in the village who could defeat Akatsuki members. This condition for becoming a candidate was almost set up for her, but Kisame took advantage of it first.
After a pause, Qing said again: "Terumi Mei, it's time to go to the Mizukage Tower for a meeting."
Terumi Mei nodded slightly. No matter what Kisame had in mind, he would have to attend the meeting to find out.
However, even if Kisame participates in running for Mizukage, she will not use underhanded methods secretly.
Firstly, the election for the Mizukage must be fair and aboveboard, and secondly, the strength of the village has been weakened to the extreme and there is no room for internal fighting.
Not long after, Terumi Mei arrived at the Mizukage Building with Ao and Chojuro.
The rebuilt Mizukage Building has a gorgeous appearance, but the interior decoration is extremely simple, just like the current Kirigakure.
There were not many confessions in the conference room, and there were even fewer confessions from the younger generation. Most of them were retired elders. Although they were once elite jounin, it was hard to say how much strength they could exert, and they had very little say.
After all, not all ninja villages are controlled by the elderly.
Looking at the entire Kirigakure, the only ninjas who can truly be considered the mainstay are Terumi Mei, Kisame and a few other jounin.
As soon as the people arrived, Kisame said: "According to the interrogation along the way, we got some unfortunate news. Lord Yagura and Jinchuuriki Yugao are likely to be dead!"
As soon as it came up, it was heavyweight information that made the elders' heads feel slightly dizzy.
In this way, Kirigakure lost the Jinchuuriki and the Fourth Mizukage. Compared with those small ninja villages, the advantage was the number of ninjas.
As for the accuracy of the news, not many people doubted it. After all, the Akatsuki organization did not kidnap the jinchuriki for tea and dinner.
Although it is difficult to accept, it is true.
At this time, Genshi, who was holding a cane, looked at Kisame and asked slowly: "Little Kisame, is there any other good news?"
Since being saved by Kisame last time, Genshi's impression of the former has become much better. After all, he is his savior.
It is precisely because of Genshi's favor that Kisame was able to continue to serve as the ANBU minister after the fourth generation was kidnapped.
The founder of the Ninja Village was not the Mizukage, but his status was slightly higher than that of the Mizukage.
Kisame nodded slightly and continued: "According to the interrogation of Shennong, the reason why the Akatsuki organization did not destroy Iwagakure Village was because there were traitors in the organization, and the traitors were Shennong and Orochimaru."
By this time, Kisame had almost taken the initiative to reveal information about the Akatsuki organization.
"In other words, Shennong is no longer a member of the Akatsuki organization? But the internal strife in the Akatsuki organization is indeed good news."
The elders talked a lot. They expressed regret that it was difficult to obtain information about Akatsuki after Shennong left the Akatsuki organization, and they were also glad that there was internal strife in the Akatsuki organization.
Overall, I am more happy than worried.
After all, the strength shown by the original Akatsuki organization was too terrifying. There were several members with Kage-level strength alone.
