Cherreads

Chapter 353 - 170

"Let's talk from a distance to avoid being caught in the crossfire by those two brothers."

As he spoke, Feng Xu appeared directly in front of Kisame and patted his shoulder.

Kisame was startled by Feng Xu's astonishing speed and quickly retreated.

However, after only two steps, he realized something was wrong.

He had inexplicably arrived in an unfamiliar environment, not the huge open space from just now!

"What did you do?!"

Kisame felt that Feng Xu in front of him was becoming more and more mysterious, more and more unfathomable.

He actually possessed such terrifying instantaneous movement abilities!

Could it be a Mangekyo Sharingan jutsu?

"Don't be nervous, we just moved to a better place to talk," Feng Xu's calm voice resounded.

"What exactly do you want to say?" Kisame's hand gripping Samehada was sweating, and he also sensed Samehada's fear.

Feng Xu looked at the wary Kisame and slowly said,

"You are a true Ninja. I like your loyalty and fearlessness."

"So I want you to join Four Stars Village, join my command. I will give you a real place to belong."

Chapter 205: Friendly Reminder, You Have Two Days Left of Your May Day Holiday

Kisame, who protected information for the Akatsuki Organization and Obito until his death, was a true Ninja.

As long as that loyalty wasn't betrayed, Kisame was absolutely the perfect subordinate.

He was strong, prioritized completing missions, and was absolutely loyal.

Considering these factors, Feng Xu naturally wanted to bring this perfect subordinate under his command.

"You want me to be your subordinate?"

Feng Xu's words made Kisame grin.

He felt a lot more relaxed.

It seemed he wasn't trying to kill him, but rather to recruit him!

He was about to offer a polite refusal with a flattering remark to avoid angering Feng Xu.

Then Feng Xu's voice resounded again.

"Don't be in a hurry to refuse."

"I know your past, and I understand your loneliness and emptiness."

"So everything that person behind you gave you, I can also give you. At the same time, I have even more sincerity; I won't conceal my true identity."

As he spoke, Feng Xu raised his hand and touched his mask.

"Like you, I am also a victim of this hypocritical world, under corrupt and backward rule."

The mask was removed, and his black hair instantly turned golden again.

His azure eyes and familiar face appeared before Kisame.

"It's actually you…"

Seeing Feng Xu's appearance beneath the mask, Kisame's large eyes suddenly widened, filled with disbelief.

"Nine-Tails Jinchuriki!!!"

Kisame never expected that a Nine-Tails Jinchuriki would infiltrate an organization that hunted Tailed Beasts!

And he had already captured all but the Eight-Tails and Nine-Tailed, and he was even going to personally capture the Eight-Tails!

Most importantly… wasn't the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki from the Uzumaki clan?

Why did he have the Sharingan, and had even awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan?

However, if he was the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, it could completely explain why Samehada felt fear.

And that inexplicably familiar feeling he had when he first saw Feng Xu!

Although Kisame's mind was currently in chaos, Feng Xu's appearance had somewhat overloaded him.

But he still managed to force a smile and whispered,

"What exactly are you planning to do?"

"Revealing your true identity to me so easily makes me very uneasy."

Feng Xu put his mask back on, his tone still sincere.

"This is my sincerity, greater sincerity than the guy behind you who calls himself Madara but dares not show his true face."

"I will give you a place to belong, and lead you to find your truth, just like Kakuzu, Sasori, Deidara, and Zabuza."

Feng Xu extended his right hand towards Kisame.

"So… become my subordinate, my comrade."

"I will break the crumbling order of this false world, destroy the arrogance, corruption, and condescension of the Great Ninja Villages."

"Finally, I will bring new life to this world, bring truth."

"And we will be the masters of this new world, masters who are no longer fooled by others, and masters of our own will!"

"Masters of my own will, huh…" Kisame fell into deep thought.

In the past, as a Kirigakure Ninja, he was forced by his superiors to pledge loyalty to the Village's will, constantly killing fellow Kirigakure comrades.

But in the end, his superiors had long betrayed them, selling information to other countries, which conflicted with the will imposed upon him.

This made him not understand who he truly was.

Was he an enemy or a friend? What were his goals and stance? Where was his future? Where was his place to belong?

He couldn't know any of this, only feeling emptiness and falsehood.

Especially this emptiness and falsehood reached its peak when he discovered that the Fourth Mizukage was also being controlled.

It was then that the person controlling the Fourth Mizukage, who called himself Madara, gave him support.

The Eye of the Moon Plan, a plan that could create a true dream world unique to each person, a place to belong.

Even if no one could understand his feelings when he killed his comrades.

And no one could understand his feelings after diligently completing a mission, only to find that the mission had long been betrayed, and his efforts were a joke.

But in the dream world, all of this would be resolved, becoming beautiful, and even past events would be changed!

So he yearned for this beautiful world.

He also wouldn't betray Obito, who believed in him, described this plan to him, and gave him a place to belong.

Thinking of this, Kisame already had his answer.

"If I had met you before I met Mr. Madara, perhaps I would have joined you and found a place to belong."

"But now I'm sorry, I'd rather see the world Mr. Madara spoke of, and I will not betray Mr. Madara."

"What a pity…" Although he knew this would be the outcome, Feng Xu was still a little disappointed.

"Since you've made your choice, you must understand what your fate will be, right?"

"Of course."

Kisame grinned and nodded, his eyes firm and unwavering: "But I still want to thank you for your regard and trust."

"No need for thanks, I don't have a habit of accepting thanks from dead people…"

Swish!

As the words fell, a pitch-black bone palm suddenly appeared from behind Feng Xu, striking towards Kisame.

Kisame had already anticipated it and retreated to dodge.

But Feng Xu's bone palms were not just one.

Another bone palm also appeared instantly, striking towards the direction Kisame dodged.

Unable to dodge further, Kisame could only hold up Samehada to block.

However, at the moment of contact, Kisame strangely turned into a puddle of clear water scattered on the ground.

It was a Water Clone!

"A meaningless struggle."

Accompanying Feng Xu's voice, a pitch-black pupil power rapidly rose and covered him like a raging fire.

In an instant, a huge half-body Susanoo with flesh and blood was constructed.

The next second, the house-sized fist slammed down heavily.

Boom!

Countless huge shattered rocks flew up from the ground.

The surrounding hundred meters of land instantly cracked and collapsed, revealing Kisame, who was hiding underground through Earth Release: Underground Projection Fish Technique.

At this moment, Kisame had already fused with Samehada, transforming into a half-human, half-shark appearance.

At the same time, beside him was a summoned shark.

Seeing that he had been discovered, Kisame quickly stuffed the scroll in his hand into the shark's mouth.

He knew he was doomed and couldn't escape, so he had to get this last piece of information to Obito.

However, just as he was about to put the scroll into the shark's mouth to transmit it,

His body inexplicably lost control, and the hand holding the scroll directly tore it apart!

"What's going on?!"

Before Kisame could be shocked, a pitch-black long sword pierced through his chest and abdomen, almost splitting him in half!

Immediately, a large amount of crimson blood continuously gushed from his mouth and wounds.

His fused form with Samehada also instantly withdrew, returning to his human form.

"Tajikarao."

"A Mangekyo Sharingan jutsu."

Feng Xu's voice resounded in Kisame's ear.

"Next life, remember not to be so stubborn, and remember to be flexible."

...P.S.: Happy May Day, iron buddies and rail buddies!

Chapter 206: Sasuke: Your Genjutsu, I've Already Seen Through It!

On the huge open ground.

Two tall figures stood silently opposite each other.

However, this silence lasted only a short while before Sasuke broke it first.

"Finally, we meet again, my foolish brother… Itachi Uchiha!"

Meeting again, Sasuke no longer had the impulsiveness and recklessness he had more than a year ago.

Instead, he calmly raised his hand towards Itachi.

With a cold and eerie voice, he calmly spoke of the future that was about to arrive.

"Today, you will pay for your crimes…"

"You will die a miserable death at the hands of me, the avenger!"

The moment the word "hands" landed.

A piercing screech resounded!

On Sasuke's raised palm, wild lightning flashed and crackled.

The next moment.
