Chapter 1036

~7 min read 1,370 words

The blinding sunlight at the base entrance made Su Xiao squint his eyes. If an ordinary person were in a dark environment for a long time, such blinding sunlight would certainly cause permanent visual damage, but Su Xiao's eyes adapted to the strong light very quickly.

Carrying Samehada on his back and the Eight-Tails jinchuriki on his shoulder, Kisame stood at the base entrance, his full mouth of shark teeth particularly conspicuous. Behind Kisame stood a young girl.

This girl's build was slightly delicate, aged around 18 or 19. Roughly estimated, this woman's height was around 1.6 meters, and when she stood behind Kisame, who was a full 1.95 meters tall, she appeared very petite.

The girl behind Kisame noticed Su Xiao observing her. She tilted her head and also looked at Su Xiao. A few strands of hair slid from her ear to her cheek, and those black eyes were very bright, like two black gemstones.

"Eh?"

The girl was quite surprised; looking at her appearance, it seemed she had seen Su Xiao before.

At this moment, the girl had somehow obtained an Akatsuki uniform. Combined with her short hair hanging to her neck and those eyes like black gemstones, she appeared both pure and energetic, with a sense of mystery, though this sense of mystery was very hard to detect.

"Kisame, where did you get this from?"

Su Xiao spoke. He recognized who this 'girl' was. This girl might already be an adult, but those clear eyes made one feel she was very energetic. They last met in the Land of Iron; this is a worker girl.

When they first met, this worker girl was being hunted by samurai of the Land of Iron, while Kisame was capturing the Eight-Tails jinchuriki. How could the two have met? And listening to Kisame's tone, the two seemed to be well-acquainted.

"Met while capturing the Eight-Tails jinchuriki in the Land of Iron. I searched for a long time before finding this guy."

Kisame pointed at the Eight-Tails jinchuriki, Killer Bee, on his shoulder. Actually, Kisame being able to capture the Eight-Tails jinchuriki was thanks to Su Xiao. In the original work, when Kisame fought the Eight-Tails jinchuriki, Kisame's weapon, 'Samehada', suddenly rebelled.

Or rather, it wasn't that Samehada rebelled, but that the one fighting at the time was not Kisame himself, but a clone formed by Bai Jue. The appearance was exactly the same as Kisame, and it could use Kisame's abilities. Of course, this Bai Jue clone was controlled by Kisame. As for Kisame himself, he was hiding in a place no one would think of: inside his ninja sword, Samehada.

Doing this could reduce risk, but it also had drawbacks. When Kisame wanted to control the Bai Jue clone to capture the Eight-Tails jinchuriki Killer Bee alive, Samehada suddenly 'rebelled', the reason being that it preferred the Eight-Tails' chakra, or rather, between Bai Jue and the Eight-Tails, Samehada preferred the Eight-Tails' chakra.

The situation at the time made Kisame somewhat troubled. He was originally just tentatively trying to capture the Eight-Tails jinchuriki. If he couldn't capture him, he would just keep hiding inside Samehada, letting the Eight-Tails jinchuriki take Samehada away, which would allow him to gather intelligence and also find a better opportunity to capture the Eight-Tails.

However, the opportunity at the time was better than Kisame had imagined. Killer Bee was already very weak, so Kisame broke the fusion with Samehada and suddenly appeared. This suddenly appearing second Kisame made Killer Bee pause for a moment; he immediately thought it was a clone.

The situation at the time was that Samehada had 'betrayed' Kisame and was being held in Killer Bee's hand. Now that the real Kisame appeared, Samehada immediately attacked Killer Bee. This is a sword that possesses self-consciousness, or is more like a type of artificial organism.

After Killer Bee felt something was wrong, he immediately tried to retreat. His rap master was nearby, and Killer Bee was afraid Kisame would kill his rap master.

Kisame was not outstanding in terms of speed, but his endurance in battle was strong. The two began a chase. After a long time, they arrived at the coastal area near the Land of Iron. After traveling a distance on the sea, Killer Bee would be able to return to the territory of the Hidden Cloud Village.

Ninja can travel on water after gathering chakra to the soles of their feet, but if it is a long-distance journey on the sea, most ninja cannot do it; they don't have that much chakra.

As the Eight-Tails jinchuriki, Killer Bee's least lacking resource is chakra. Although Kisame is also famous for his chakra volume, if he continued to exhaust himself like this with Killer Bee, the first to collapse would definitely be him, because he relies on absorbing the enemy's chakra through Samehada to be able to squander chakra freely.

Just as Killer Bee was about to escape, another pursuit unit arrived. This pursuit unit was a large group of samurai hunting down a girl. Coincidentally, Kisame recognized this girl, and he knew this woman had an ability very suitable for hunting down enemies.

Therefore, Kisame helped the black-eyed worker girl deal with the pursuers, and the worker girl assisted Kisame in hunting down Killer Bee. The result was that just as Killer Bee arrived at the seaside, he was caught up to by Kisame and ultimately defeated.

As for why it is said that Kisame being able to capture the Eight-Tails jinchuriki was thanks to Su Xiao, it is because Su Xiao killed the Fourth Raikage. In the original work, the Fourth Raikage went to support Killer Bee, and the two brothers joined forces to instantly kill that Bai Jue clone that looked like Kisame.

Kisame briefly narrated the process of his capture of the Eight-Tails.

"I originally wanted to take the opportunity to infiltrate the Hidden Cloud Village, but compared to infiltrating the Hidden Cloud Village, capturing the Eight-Tails jinchuriki directly was more important."

Kisame looked slightly tired and somewhat travel-worn. It was no wonder he would be like this; he had chased the Eight-Tails jinchuriki almost across the entire Land of Iron.

"The correct choice."

Obito also agreed with Kisame's approach.

"As for the newcomer you are introducing, which ninja village is she a rogue ninja from?"

Obito is now the leader of the Akatsuki organization. If Kisame recommends a newcomer, he still needs his approval. Of course, this is just a formality. This is no longer the era when Nagato led the Akatsuki organization. Obito knows his status as leader himself; the only person in the Akatsuki organization who can completely obey his orders is Bai Jue. If he wants to command Kisame, he needs a reasonable excuse.

"A rogue ninja from the Hidden Leaf. She is a sensory type. Her combat strength is not strong, but she possesses a very special Kekkei Genkai."

Hearing Kisame mention a Kekkei Genkai, Obito's eyes lit up. The Akatsuki organization is currently in urgent need of manpower.

Through the few words between Kisame and Obito, Su Xiao obtained some intelligence. First, this worker girl is not entering the Naruto World for the first time. During her last entry into the Naruto World, she became acquainted with Kisame and even unlocked a personal favorability system.

As for the worker girl's identity as a 'sensory-type ninja', this is not strange. Most workers choose to master some auxiliary abilities to seek protection from contractors. Workers without auxiliary abilities need to spend Paradise Coins to find someone for protection.

But what is puzzling is that this worker girl actually entered the Naruto World twice. There are two possibilities: one is that she is very unlucky, and the other is that she is not a worker at all and has other purposes.

The second possibility is not high; after all, the span of entering an open world is not small. Planning for so long, could it just be to disguise herself as a worker and infiltrate Akatsuki? And very few contractors disguise themselves as workers when entering a derived world; that would attract a lot of trouble.
