I Punch the Tailed Beast Ball - Chapter 363

“Good job on completing the mission. I have high expectations for you. You have the potential to inherit my Samehada. Keep working hard.”

In a poorly lit underground room, Fuguki Suikazan praised Kisame with a deep voice.

Kisame remained indifferent, showing no expression of joy despite the praise from Fuguki Suikazan.

“Completing the Mission? I just killed all my comrades.” Kisame said casually, refuting what Fuguki Suikazan said.

Fuguki Suikazan smirked and said, “The Mission that fails, is your comrades’ mission. Your Mission is to eliminate anyone who might leak the information about the village, so your mission is accomplished, and you did it well. They failed.”

“Leaking information, huh.” Kisame revealed a sarcastic smile.

The look on Kisame’s face made Fuguki Suikazan upset. He was Kisame’s superior and the leader of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, and that was Kisame’s response after he praised him?

Fuguki Suikazan was indeed the leader of Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, as he was the only one left.

“Kisame, don’t forget that you manage to get this far because of me!” Fuguki Suikazan didn’t sound pleased.

Kisame was like a sharp sword in his hands. If this sword didn’t listen, no matter how sharp it was, he would toss it away.

However, just as Fuguki Suikazan was thinking about how to make this disobedient subordinate disappear from this world Kisame swiftly made hand seals, triggering the traps he had set up in advance! Four big chains bound Fuguki Suikazan’s hands and feet, restricting his movements.

Then, without wasting time like explaining his skillful technique and how to turn the tables like a villain in a movie, he swiftly stabbed Fuguki Suikazan’s heart with his sword.

Spurt!

“You…” Fuguki Suikazan’s eyes widened, looking at Kisame in disbelief.

He failed to comprehend why his tool suddenly became disobedient and betrayed him.

“If you kill me, you will die too, and it will be even more…” Spurt! Spurt!

Before Fuguki Suikazan could finish his words, Kisame quickly stabbed him two more times, sending Fuguki Suikazan flying.

At this point, dying was no longer a concern for Kisame.

Or rather, in Kisame’s eyes, he had already died when he killed the brown-haired girl with cheerful smile.

Despite killing his superior, Kisame felt nothing for some reason.

“Maybe I’m already used to killing my comrades.” Kisame self-deprecatingly smiled, taking Samehada from Fuguki Suikazan.

‘Kisame-san, you must be tired of living like this.’ The voice of the brown-haired girl echoed in Kisame’s ears for some unknown reason.

‘In this world full of lies, who can live at ease?’ Whether it was a reply to the words in his ear or a self-consolation, Kisame said silently in his heart. Then he prepared to leave the underground room.

After going out, he couldn’t return to Kirigakure. No matter how despicable Fuguki Suikazan was, he was still the leader of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, a person with a high standing in Kirigakure. So, there was no other path for him but becoming a missing-nin.

Kisame didn’t know where to go after leaving the Land of Water. Perhaps the Fire Country? The scenery there was good.

He could also live quietly in some unknown small country and end it all when he didn’t want to live.

“Not bad.”

At this moment, a voice suddenly entered Kisame’s ears.

Kisame quickly picked up Samehada he had just obtained and cautiously looked towards the source of the sound.

The person showed no intention of hiding their identity, slowly emerging from the dark corridor and revealed his face.

“The Fourth Mizukage?” Kisame looked in surprise at the figure emerging from the darkness.

Surprisingly, it was the Fourth Mizukage. This was something Kisame hadn’t expected.

Kisame couldn’t help but grip the Samehada in his hand tighter. After all, he had just killed the only member of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist in Kirigakure.

Kisame didn’t know much about the Fourth Mizukage. He had only seen him a few times in some large-scale operations and heard about his infamous policy that was enforced recently in the village.

One thing that Kisame was certain of was that the Fourth Mizukage was very strong. On top of being a Mizukage, he was also a Jinchuriki.

“Don’t worry, I won’t lay a hand on you. After all, you’ve eliminated a big threat to Kirigakure.” Instead of Fourth Mizukage attacking Kisame, the Fourth Mizukage began to talk about Fuguki Suikazan.

“This guy has leaked our information to other countries, and even if you didn’t kill him, someone else would have gone after his head.”

“Now the Samehada is yours, and you have become my subordinate.” The Fourth Mizukage gave Kisame an offer.

“Become your subordinate? What makes you think I won’t kill you just like how I killed that guy?” Kisame did not show any fear just because he was up against the Fourth Mizukage. 

For someone who wasn’t afraid of death, there was nothing to fear.

But the Fourth Mizukage didn’t seem angry at all. Instead, he continued, “I can trust you. You’ve been doing dirty work for the village for so long, and after experiencing this betrayal, you should know that this world is full of lies. I can take you to a real world.”

“This is a world filled with lies. I knew that after killing my comrades. But what do you mean by the real world?” Kisame felt there was something off about the Fourth Mizukage.

Then, another figure walked out from the corridor, but Kisame couldn’t see that figure clearly as that person was behind the Fourth Mizukage.

“Let me free you from the false pain. You’ve been doing the dirty work of killing comrades for your whole life. This time, fight as my comrade.” The mysterious person spoke.

“You seem to know a lot about me. Who are you?” Kisame looked at the mysterious person cautiously, speculating about the relationship between the mysterious person and the Fourth Mizukage.

Suddenly, the mysterious person’s eyes turned red, a color that even the darkness couldn’t conceal.

Kisame was stunned. That characteristic was too obvious—it was the renowned Sharingan!

More importantly, Kirigakure didn’t have Sharingan.

Upon remembering Sharingan’s abilities, Kisame quickly guessed the truth.

The man in front of him had used Sharingan to manipulate the Fourth Mizukage!

Now, Kisame felt that killing Fuguki Suikazan was not a big deal. After all, this person had controlled the Fourth Mizukage.

“Indeed, this world is full of falsehood and lies,” Kisame said.

Even the Fourth Mizukage was a fake. Was there any hope for Kirigakure?

“However, the power of your eyes is strong enough to control the Fourth Mizukage. Who are you?” Kisame asked.

“I am Madara Uchiha,” Obito said without hesitation.

Kisame looked at Madara with a mocking expression.

Although Madara was undoubtedly strong enough to control the Fourth Mizukage, everyone knew that Madara had died long ago.

“Believe it or not, it’s up to you to decide.” Madara then walked out and revealed himself.

“This world is filled with falsehoods and lies. I want to create a real world. This plan is called Eye of the Moon…”
