Chapter 237: 237
In the wooden cabin, Kisame leaned back on the sofa and closed his eyes.
With this place as centre, his perception quickly spread to the entire Kirigakure. He clearly "saw" everyone's movements in the village and what happened in every corner.
Well, this tree house is very good, not only does it have good air and beautiful scenery, but most importantly, it is very hidden from day to day activities, which makes it a very suitable hiding place for him, the mastermind behind the scenes.
The only problem is that this is Tsunade's boudoir, and she probably won't let Kisame live in it, or even allow him to build another tree house next door. In this case, he can only come and meet Katsuyu when Tsunade is not around.
"Kisame-sama..."
At this moment, Katsuyu gently shook his shoulder, and after he opened his eyes, she said worriedly, "Well, the time that I agreed with Tsunade-sama is coming, and she will wake up from her deep sleep soon and take over this body."
"Oh, it looks like I should get away."
Hearing that, Kisame stood up a little reluctantly. Seeing Katsuyu's nervousness, he patted her on the shoulder and said to her, "Don't worry, if Tsunade makes things difficult for you, be sure to tell me. I will teach her a good lesson for you and make sure she will not cause problems."
"Yeah." Katsuyu blushed and nodded.
Seeing this, Kisame laughed. After all, the woman in front of him, although has Katsuyu's soul, her appearance and body is that of Tsunade. Tsunade, who has always been irritable and angry, and has been fighting against him time and time again, is now showing such a shy expression, made Kisame have a very strange feeling.
'What can I say, it's interesting.'
'Crunch.'
Kisame said goodbye to Katsuyu, pushed open the door of the tree house, and left here under the watchful eye of the latter with a smile on his face.
As soon as Kisame left, the smile on Katsuyu's face disappeared. She seemed a little dizzy, took a few steps back staggeringly, and sat down on the sofa. She closed her eyes slowly and fell into a deep sleep.
After a while, the woman opened her eyes again, stretched her big lazy waist, and stood up again.
Tsunade rubbed her forehead and digested Katsuyu's memory while she was in charge of her body while she was sleeping. It was normal at first, nothing special, but soon Tsunade's pupils shrank and froze in place.
'Kisame is back.'
Yes, the guy that Tsunade hated so much had woken up from his two-year hibernation. Moreover, as soon as he came back, he had intimate contact with her, and the two of them hugged.
'Kaka.'
Tsunade's teeth clenched and blue veins burst out on her forehead. She roared angrily: "Katsuyu, what the heck did you do?"
"Tsunade-sama, I'm sorry, I was too excited after seeing Kisame-sama and didn't consider your feelings..." A weak voice came from the depths of Tsunade's heart, and it kept apologizing to her.
"...Forget it, it's not a big deal. I can't understand what made you like him."
Tsunade suppressed her anger as she didn't want to be too embarrassed, but she couldn't help but say, "What's so good about him?"
"He is Kisame-sama, isn't it good enough?" Katsuyu said quietly.
"Hmph, just keep being so obsessed." Tsunade snorted coldly, not bothering to argue with Katsuyu, and picked up an apple, sat on the sofa with her legs crossed, and nibbled it.
"Tsunade-sama, you are actually very happy about Kisame-sama's awakening, aren't you? Why do you pretend to not care?" Katsuyu suddenly asked, as she shared the same body with Tsunade, she can often sense the other's emotions.
"Happy? Where?"
Tsunade frowned, her hands subconsciously exerted force, and with a click, she crushed the unfinished apple. While throwing the apple residue into the trash, she explained, "If I have any reason to say that I am happy that Kisame is back, it would be so that I don't have to worry about the affairs of Kirigakure anymore."
"However, you haven't been too concerned about the village's affairs from the start. You left everything to Elder Genji and Terumi Mei to deal with, didn't you?" Katsuyu whispered.
Tsunade's face twitched as she heard that, and after holding it for a long time, she finally shouted: "Keep quite!"
It was obvious that she was in speechless.
As night fell, a full moon hung high in the dark night sky.
The evening breeze caressed the billions of leaves of the divine tree, causing it to rustle. The moonlight fell from the gaps in the leaves, forming beautiful beams of light, which were projected on Kirigakure's ground.
Kisame returned to the familiar courtyard and heard the voices of women and children.
Natsuhi, Mikiko, and Kagura are all widowers who were once rescued by him and took their children to Kirigakure. In the past two years, they experienced the Fourth Ninja War that deepened their bond with Kirigakure, and gradually adapted to the life here, and finally became a part of this village.
In the living room, Sara, the Queen of Roran, was playing with the group of children, Haku, Kimimaro, Temari, Kankuro, Gaara, Fu, and Sumaru, the one-year-old child of Natsuhi. As for Yukino, the one that Kisame cares the most, she sat quietly on the sofa with a smile on her face, watching everyone play.
However, if you observe carefully, you will find that there is a faint sadness between her brows. Although she usually tries her best to hide it, she occasionally reveals it inadvertently.
Late at night.
As the adults and children went back to their rooms to sleep, after the lively laughter disappeared, the small courtyard soon became quiet.
'Crunch.'
Yukino pushed open the door, took off her sky blue jacket, revealing the white sweater inside, and walked to the bed in a bit of a loss, and sat down.
Suddenly, in the quiet room where you could hear needles dropping, her shoulders twitched slightly and she let out a low cry. Her helpless and sad look is too pitiful.
In the past two years, she gradually accepted the bad news of Kisame's death and tried to get out of the pain. The focus of her life is on the children, hoping to cultivate them into talents and become great ninjas when they grow up.
But whenever it was night, when the night was quiet, Yukino could not help but think of Kisame, the good times spent together by the two, and the sleepless nights.
At this moment, a pair of powerful arms silently appeared behind her and hugged Yukino.
"Who?!"
Yukino was suddenly startled, her whole body tense, and she subconsciously wanted to call for help. But the next second, a very familiar voice sounded in her ear: "It's me, I'm back."
She turned around slowly, and although the light was dim, she could still see the familiar face.
"Kisame-sama, is it really you?" Yukino asked in disbelief, and reached out to touch Kisame's face.
The scene in front of her was so unreal that she suspected that she was hallucinating or dreaming.
"I'm sorry, I've kept you waiting for so long." Kisame showed an apologetic smile, held Yukino's hand, and told her everything.
After Yukino heard this, she burst into tears again, but this time, she wept with joy.
It was silent all night.
The next morning, Yukino woke up from the bed, subconsciously tilted her head and looked beside the pillow, there was no one there.
However, she was satisfied, she stood up with a smile on the corner of her mouth, and after getting dressed, she walked out of the room full of joy and came to the yard.
"Yukino-neesan, you seem to be very happy today, is there anything special?" Sara noticed that Yukino was a little different from usual, and couldn't help asking curiously.
"Am I very happy?" Yukino asked with a smile.
"Of course, I haven't seen you so happy for a long time. If you have any good news, please share with me, let me have a good time with you." Sara held Yukino's arm like a little girl and asked coquettishly.
"It's... a secret." Yukino smiled mysteriously and said, no matter how Sara slapped her sideways, she stopped talking.
Kisame's return is the most important secret in the village. As far as Yukino knows, apart from her, only the sixth Mizukage Tsunade knows about it. Therefore, she will try her best to keep this secret and won't tell anyone until the day when Kisame takes the initiative to show up.
Kisame is now walking on the street of Kirigakure.
After consoling Yukino the whole night, Kisame is now going to the Medical building this morning without stopping, and found the ward where Pakura is.
This is a luxurious single-person ward. There are Anbu standing outside, who are on guard 24 hours a day, and this situation has been going on for more than a year.
According to Tsunade's orders, Kirigakure will never give up on Pakura. Even if the latter has been in a vegetative state and will be in a coma for five, ten, or fifty years, Kirigakure will always take good care of her until she dies.
'Buzz.'
In the ward, the space suddenly fluctuated faintly. Immediately afterwards, a black door appeared out of thin air, and Kisame's tall figure slowly walked out from inside.
The guards outside the door were completely unaware of his arrival.
Kisame walked to the side of the hospital bed, lowered his head, and looked at Pakura, who was resting on the bed. Due to the tragic burns, her whole body was covered with white bandages, with only half of her face exposed. Although the nurses trimmed her hair regularly, her hair was still very long, and her green hair was like grass.
"Thanks for your hard work."
Kisame held Pakura's hand and whispered. At the same time, through physical contact with her, Kisame also sensed her tenketsu and chakra in her body.
'So that what happened.'
Kisame immediately found out that reason why Pakura fell into a coma and failed to wake up. This is actually not a bad thing, she is actually accumulating energy in her deep sleep.
The flame phoenix she incarnated on the battlefield of the ninja world has a special ability, every time she burns her life, it is full of danger and huge opportunity. As long as she can survive, she can be resurrected from the ashes and have a second life.
This is Phoenix Nirvana, a special ability born from Pakura's bloodline evolution.
Even without any outside help, sooner or later, she will wake up younger, more energetic, and stronger.
Of course, a little help from Kisame would greatly speed up the process and make Pakura wake up many years earlier.
Kirigakure needs her, and the villagers need this heroine.
So, Kisame put his broad palm into the quilt, pressed it on Pakura's lower abdomen, and injected a huge amount of pure life energy into her. That is the life force of Kunpeng.
Soon, Pakura, who was lying on the hospital bed frowned, her body trembled violently, and she seemed to be experiencing some kind of great pain in her deep sleep.
'Sizzle.'
The lights in the room also began to flicker, attracting the attention of the guard outside the door.
"What happened?"
The guards looked surprised, and after recovering, they rushed into the ward with the nurse on duty. Kisame has long disappeared.
"Pakura-sama, she..."
A nurse walked quickly to Pakura, and after checking the latter's physical condition, she couldn't help covering her mouth, feeling surprised and delighted.
Because, as she lifted the bandage on Pakura's body, she saw that the dead skin under the bandage was rapidly falling off at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in its place was new skin that was as white, soft and rosy as a baby.
A few minutes later, Pakura's eyelids trembled slightly, and after several times, she finally slowly opened her eyes.
"Am I... dead? Where is this?" She looked around blankly, as if awakening from a big dream.
"Pakura-sama, you are awake!"
The nurse wept with joy and held Pakura's hand excitedly, her excitement was beyond words.
The guards on the side were also overjoyed, and hurriedly sent one person to the Mizukage office to tell Tsunade the good news.
In less than half an hour, the news that their hero Pakura woke up spread throughout Kirigakure.
For a time, most of the ninjas and villagers put down their work and rushed in from all directions, holding bunches of flowers in front of the hospital, waiting excitedly.
As Pakura changed into a brand new ninja suit and walked out of the building with the help of a nurse, she was immediately drowned out by the oncoming cheers like a tsunami.
While Pakura was in a coma, after some consideration, Tsunade decided to reveal the former's true identity. Although this woman used to be a ninja village that was hostile to Kirigakure, the villagers didn't care about it, because after the things she did for Kirigakure, she only had one identity left, and that is Kirigakure's hero.
Pakura, surrounded by flowers and applause, felt as if she is in a dream, she walked the distance in a trance, and finally entered the Mizukage building and came to the Mizukage office.
"Congratulations, I knew you would wake up."
Tsunade stood up from the chair, left the desk, came to Pakura, patted her on the shoulder, and showed a bold smile.
Pakura already knew at this time that after she fell into a coma, it was Tsunade who turned the tide to save Kirigakure and became the story of the sixth Mizukage. In addition, it was Tsunade who used her superb medical skills to save her life.
Therefore, Pakura bowed to Tsunade with deep respect, and said softly, "Tsunade-sama, thank you very much."
"Pakura, don't be polite to me. You are an amazing ninja."
Tsunade looked at Pakura and admired her from the bottom of her heart. She had to admit that the guy Hoshigaki Kisame has great vision. The ninjas he cultivated, including Terumi Mei, Ringo Ameyuri, and Hozuki Mangetsu, are all geniuses with great potential.
Especially Pakura, not only has a strong strength beyond the Kage level. She also has a unique personality and state of mind, and is a candidate who can be qualified for the Kage of any village.
That bastard, Kisame, although has a very bad character, he does exude a special charm, which makes the geniuses like Pakura be loyal to him and willing to follow him with all his heart.
Even Katsuyu is fascinated by him.
