"Are you all right?"

After Tsunade shattered the flying boulder with one punch, she turned to look at Itachi behind her and Sasuke in his arms.

What surprised Tsunade was that although Itachi was young, he never had much emotional fluctuations in such a dangerous environment, showing maturity and calmness far beyond his age.

As expected of the son of the Uchiha clan leader.

Facing Tsunade's inquiry, Itachi nodded slowly, but because the other party's mysterious attire and unclear appearance made him more vigilant, he subconsciously took two steps back.

His instinct told him that the two people in front of him were not Konoha ninjas.

"Hey, it seems I don't appreciate your kindness." Kisame teased Tsunade.

"Haha, I'm probably scared by you."

Tsunade sneered and retorted on the spot, "I heard from people in the village that every time you go out, you bring back strange widows and children from outside. People who don't know better think you are a human trafficker. Why, these two children Do you also want to take up the idea?"

"I have no interest in them."

Kisame shrugged, pointed to his head, and said in a very disgusting tone, "People in the Uchiha clan are a little abnormal here. The more talented and powerful people are, the easier it is to fall into paranoia. And madness, the closer it is to real mental illness, you can see that guy Obito. If such a guy stays in the village, he is a time bomb, and I don’t want it even if he gives it to me."

In Kisame's view, not only Obito, but also the brothers Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Sasuke in the original work, are also insane.

Especially Itachi, who personally massacred hundreds of ninjas and civilians of his own race, and even refused to spare his biological parents, was simply heartbroken and crazy to the extreme.

"Your point of view is very similar to that of the Second Hokage." Tsunade did not refute Kisame this time, but said this because she thought of her uncle Senju Tobirama.

Hearing Kisame's words, Uchiha Itachi frowned.

The other party's condescending comments about the Uchiha clan made him feel offended and uncomfortable as a member of the Uchiha clan.

However, Itachi also knew that the two people in front of him were not something he could afford to offend. In addition, he also had a younger brother who was only a few months old in his arms. Sasuke's life safety was his biggest concern.

So, while Tsunade and Kisame were arguing with each other over there, he hugged Sasuke tightly in his arms, glanced at him, turned around and ran towards the end of the street.

"I'm right, you scared the kid away, haha."

Seeing Itachi turn around and run away without saying a word, Tsunade slapped Kisame on the shoulder and teased.

"Let him run away. He is still too weak now and has no value for me to use. When he grows up and awakens the Mangekyō Sharingan, it will be time for me to cut the leeks."

Kisame said calmly, watching Itachi disappear into the distance.

at this time.

"Tsunade?! Is that you?"

A suspicious voice suddenly came from behind the two of them.

Hearing this familiar voice, Tsunade was shocked and turned around slowly. Sure enough, she saw a tall white-haired man wearing Hokage robes, looking at her with burning eyes.

The Fourth Hokage, Jiraiya.

To be precise, what appeared in front of Tsunade and Kisame was just a shadow clone of Jiraiya.His true form was currently leading a group of Konoha ninjas in a fierce battle with the rampaging Nine-Tails, trying to seal it away or drive it out of the village.

Jiraiya's shadow clone used the telescope technique inherited from the previous Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, to monitor the activities in the village until he discovered Kisame and Tsunade acting suspiciously.

"Hey, Jiraiya, long time no see."

Before Tsunade could speak, Kisame took off his hood first and greeted Jiraiya with a smile.

"Kakisaki Kisame, it is indeed you."

After Jiraiya confirmed Kisame's identity, his eyes suddenly turned cold. He didn't even bother to reminisce with Tsunade, and asked Kisame in a deep voice, "Did you plan what happened tonight? As a Mizukage , have you forgotten the peace contract with Konoha that you signed with your own hands?"

"Don't get excited yet. If I, Kakisaki Kisame, want to destroy Konoha, why do I have to go to such great lengths? Instead of trying to release the nine-tailed demon fox, why not do it myself, which is quick and convenient. What do you think? "

Kisame said disdainfully, casting a mocking look at Jiraiya.

"..."

Jiraiya was speechless. After calming down, he realized that he had just been impulsive and made a mistake.

Indeed, with Inigaki Kisame's strength and acting style, he would not plan so painstakingly until Kushina Uzumaki gives birth, take the opportunity to abduct her and release Kyuubi.

He would just level Konoha.After all, Kisame has done this kind of thing once before, so he is very familiar with it.

"It seems you haven't figured out who the enemy is yet. For the sake of my statue on the Hokage Rock in Konoha, I kindly tell you that it's that guy Uchiha Obito. As for why I appear here tonight..."

Kisame said this and glanced at Tsunade beside him, "This woman has fulfilled the conditions in the peace contract in advance, so I personally sent her back to Konoha. Although Konoha seems very unsafe now, I believe you can protect Tsunade, so I leave her to you."

As the words fell, Tsunade slowly took off her hood, revealing her beautiful face and blond hair.

"You look like you have a lot to say, so I won't be the lightbulb here."

Kisame was very sensible. He patted Tsunade on the shoulder, turned around and left, wandering to another place in the blink of an eye.

Tsunade and Jiraiya were the only two people left on the street, facing each other a few meters apart.

"Tsunade, that's great. I've been worried about you every day for more than a year. Inkisaki Kisame... didn't do anything to hurt you, right?"

Jiraiya took two steps forward, unable to suppress his excitement.

He has been in love with Tsunade since he was a boy and regarded her as the goddess in his heart, and he pursued her hard for a time.It's a pity that after all these years, he has never been able to get Tsunade to open up to him.

When Kisame kidnapped Tsunade from Konoha, Jiraiya was heartbroken, but he could only watch helplessly, unable to do anything.

Now, Tsunade finally returned to Konoha and to him.

"I'm living a very good life in Kirigakure Village. The villagers there are kind and honest, and they respect me very much. As for Inigaki Kisame... let's forget about that guy."

Tsunade sighed as she spoke.

Huh?

Jiraiya thought that Tsunade would be very happy after finally regaining her freedom and returning to her hometown.But judging from her expression at the moment, it didn't seem like that.

However, Jiraiya didn't think too much. He took two steps forward again and opened his arms to warmly welcome Tsunade:

"No matter what, as long as you come back safely now, Konoha will always be your home, and we, the people, have been waiting for you."

What Jiraiya was looking forward to was a hug between old friends.

However, what he didn't expect was that after hearing his words, Tsunade suddenly frowned and took a few steps back.

Konoha will always be your home.

This sentence was so ironic to Tsunade.

Her lover, her brother, and her family all died under the covert manipulation of Konoha's top brass. Even her dead grandfather had his grave dug up and his body taken out for secret research.

In fact, even if Tsunade left Kirigakure Village, she never thought of returning to Konoha.The main reason why she came back was to meet Jiraiya, her former best friend.

But now, when Jiraiya said these words as Hokage, his image in Tsunade's eyes gradually overlapped with those of the former high-level officials of Konoha.

She felt disgusted and sick.

"Tsunade, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

Jiraiya saw Tsunade frowning and retreating, and suddenly stopped in place with some embarrassment, still not realizing that he said the wrong thing.

Tsunade shook her head, her eyes disappointed, and she didn't want to say anything.

Just when the atmosphere between the two cooled down and was about to freeze.

On the other side, Kisame wandered around the Uchiha clan's territory.

In this process.

"Father, mother, woo woo woo..."

From a small alley, a little girl cried, which attracted Kisame's attention.

He followed the sound and found a little girl about five or six years old with long black and shiny hair. She was holding on to the wall and crying as she walked. She looked weak, pitiful and helpless.

When Kisame found the little girl, the latter also saw him standing at the entrance of the alley.

"You, who are you..."

The little girl raised her head and looked up at the tall Kisame who was hidden in the cloak. She instinctively felt a sense of fear and even forgot to cry.

Without saying a word, Kisame took steps towards the little girl.

"Help, help!"

The little girl panicked and quickly turned around and ran away. However, not long after she ran out, cracks appeared in the wall next to her and collapsed with a rumble.

Not only did it block the little girl's escape path, but it also threatened to bury her little body.

Critical juncture.

call out.

A chakra line shot out from Kisame's hand, wrapped around the little girl's waist, and pulled her back, narrowly avoiding the collapsing wall.

boom.

As Kisame loosened his chakra thread, the little girl fell in front of him. She didn't dare to look at Kisame, and her body couldn't stop trembling.

Terrified.

"What's your name."

Kisame knelt down, took out a handkerchief from his coat pocket, wiped the tears from the little girl's face, and finally asked.

"I, my name is Uchiha Izumi."

The little girl said timidly and slowly raised her head. Surprisingly, the patterns in her eyes turned out to be pairs of magatama.

Was it because he witnessed the death of his parents that he was mentally stimulated and opened the Sharingan?

Kisame guessed this.

But what concerned him more was the little girl's name.

Uchiha Izumi.

If he remembered correctly, the little girl in front of him was Uchiha Itachi's childhood sweetheart. She had always had love for Itachi, but Itachi, who had a cold nature, did not respond.

In the original time and space, on this night of the Nine-Tails Rebellion, Itachi was supposed to have saved Izumi and started a friendship.

Unexpectedly, being interrupted by Kisame, Itachi ran away with his younger brother Sasuke, and the one who rescued Izumi from the collapsed ruins turned into Kisame.

Kisame remembered that on the night of the genocide in the original time and space, Izumi was brutally killed by Obito Uchiha, and the three magatama Sharingan in her eye sockets was dug out, leaving her dead without a complete body.

Poor Izumi, at the last moment of her life, was still crying and calling Uchiha Itachi's name.

Uchiha Itachi is really such a beast.

Thinking of this, Kisame's eyes flashed, he stretched out a big hand to Izumi, and said in a gentle voice:

"Don't be afraid, I will protect you. Now, you can sleep for a while."

In the palm of his hand, there was a Mangekyō Sharingan, which was slowly rotating, releasing a wave of pupil power.

As soon as he finished speaking, Izumi was struck by Kisame's illusion and fell into a deep sleep.

Kisame put Izumi into the Box of Bliss and prepared to take it back to Kirigakure Village.

He had said that the geniuses of the Uchiha clan were all mentally ill, but Kisame also wanted to know whether the stubborn mental illness of the Uchiha clan could be changed.

Uchiha Izumi is a good experimental subject.

"Tsunade's side should be about the same."

After picking up a little Izumi Loli on the roadside, Kisame stood up and walked out of the alley.

If Tsunade was impressed by Jiraiya and decided to stay in Konoha, it wouldn't be a bad thing for Kisame.At least, he no longer has to worry that Tsunade will one day become a Jinchuriki, thus thwarting his pursuit of the Jinchuriki.

After a while, Kisame returned to the previous place, but the situation in front of him was a little different from what he expected.

"I said, I just came back to take a look. The Tsunade of the Thousand Hands Clan no longer exists. From now on, I want to live with a different identity."

Tsunade looked at Jiraiya and said calmly.

"Why, Tsunade? In just over a year, has Kirigakure become more important to you than Konoha? This is the Konoha where we grew up together, with so many beautiful memories of the past. , and the will of fire handed down from the first Hokage, have you forgotten it?"

Jiraiya was emotional and couldn't accept the decision Tsunade made.

When Tsunade heard this, her eyes suddenly became sharp and she sneered: "Don't mention the First Hokage and the Will of Fire in front of me. You are unworthy, Jiraiya the Fourth Hokage."

She deliberately emphasized Jiraiya's identity as Hokage at the end, making the distance between the two widen in that second.

Ugh.

Kisame saw this and shook his head.

Forget it, instead of leaving Tsunade in Konoha and letting her suffer, or letting her wander around the ninja world without a fixed abode, it's better to bring her back to Kirigakure Village.

So, he walked up and said to Jiraiya with a smile:

"You want an answer, don't you? This is the answer."

After saying that, he hugged Tsunade's soft waist, brought her close to him, and showed off to Jiraiya, "Tsunade is already my woman."

Tsunade was stunned for a moment, but after she came to her senses, she did not struggle and curse like usual, but leaned against Kisame's chest without saying a word.

She didn't want to be questioned aggressively by Jiraiya anymore, and she didn't want to be entangled with him anymore.

"you……"

When Jiraiya saw this scene, his pupils shrank, and he felt despair for a moment.

It turned out that this was the reason why Tsunade decided not to return to Konoha.
