Chapter 22: 22

"Are they the S-rank missing ninja of Kumogakure - the Steel and Iron duo?"

The one incharge was obviously taken aback. He looked at the roster for a long time, and after carefully verifying that it was indeed the Steel and Iron duo infront of him, he took a suitcase full of banknotes and handed it to Kisame.

Kisame opened the suitcase, counted the banknotes, and found that the amount was correct, he nodded and was about to turn around and leave.

But at this moment, the one incharge stopped him enthusiastically and said to him:

"My lord, this is your first time as a bounty hunter, right? Would it be convenient for you to leave your name or code number? I will help you to register and issue the certificate. It will be much more convenient for you to come back to the bounty office in the future. Without having to line up again."

Kisame glanced at the man.

He knew that this person was only the one incharge on the surface, but in fact he was just an ordinary businessman and a worker. The real behind-the-scenes boss of the bounty office is someone else and very mysterious.

"Okay. My name is..."

The ghost shark nodded, thought for a while, and made up a name casually, "Oni Taro."

After reporting the name, Kisame walked to the rest area and sat down on the sofa.

"Sorry for the long wait, Oni Taro- dono."

After a while, the man brought a certificate and respectfully handed it to Kisame. Kisame didn't stay for a long time. After taking the certificate, he picked up the box and left.

"Is it him?"

Seeing the back of Kisame, several ninjas sneaked out, looked at each other, and followed.

'Bang.'

Kisame pushed open the secret door of the toilet, and suddenly felt a surge of piss.

So, he came to the urinal, put the suitcase on the ground, and then opened the pants to release.

At this time, two ninjas came over. They stood on the left and right sides of Kisame and blocked him.

Kisame ignored them and continued to do his work, but even after urinating for two minutes, the flow was still turbulent, as if it were endless.

The two ninjas had already finished their work, standing there awkwardly, neither doing nor walking away.

'Is this guy's kidney so good?'

They couldn't help but glance at Kisame, and their expressions suddenly changed, then they silently raised their pants and turned away in inferiority.

Kisame finally finished, washed his hands, picked up the suitcase, and walked out refreshed.

"Don't do it outside the bounty office, follow him for a distance, and look for opportunities to grab the money."

Behind Kisame, the two ninjas and other accomplices conspired in a low voice.

It looks like it's not the first time they've done this kind of thing.

So, these people followed Kisame from a distance, they first walked out of the building, and then walked into an alley.

"Let's do it now!"

Several people rushed into the alley together. Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m

Immediately afterwards, there were several muffled groans and screams, as well as weak pleas for mercy.

Later Kisame came out unscathed. He not only defeated the robbers, but also stole a lot of money from them.

Ten minutes later.

"Let's go." Kisame returned to the inn and urged Yukino and her son to leave.

"Where are we going?" Yukino cautiously and tentatively asked.

"To a more peaceful and safe part of the country."

Another week passed.

A group of three people arrived on the west coast of the Land of Water and entered a prosperous seaside town.

This place is an important port city in the Land of Water. Every day, a large number of merchant ships depart from the dock and conduct trade with major countries through sea routes.

Her mind has changed now.

Yukino has understood that blindly avoiding her own destiny like she used to do is not the way to go. If she can be as strong as a Kisame, she will naturally no longer need to fear anything, and she will definitely get the happiness she wants.

So these days, Yukino has quietly resumed her training and worked hard to practice Ice release Ninjutsu.

"Okay, then I'm leaving."

Seeing that he had nothing to explain, Kisame turned and walked out of the yard.

At this time.

Yukino hesitated for a moment, then suddenly rushed forward and hugged Kisame tightly from behind.

"Kisame-dono, you are really charismatic and a man worth relying on. If you are free, come back to see us, mother and son."

She put her face on the broad back of Kisame and said softly.

After all, she was a married woman, so she is really bold in this regard.

Facing Yukino's offer, Kisame didn't look back, but stayed silent for a while before saying to her:

"But Madam, I'm only twelve years old, and I'm still a child."

As soon as his voice fell, and in the stunned but dull eyes of Yukino, he left.

...

Snow Village.

A mysterious man wearing a headscarf and a face mask, with a slash on the forehead of Takigakure, came to this village.

He is the bounty ninja who believes in money - Kakuzu.

"Am I a step late?"

Kazuku frowned as he looked at the corpses of the villagers lying all over the yard.

During this time, he has been chasing the Steel and Iron duo of Kumogakure.

For him, killing these two people will not only get a high bounty, but also replenish a fresh lightning Heart, thereby further improving his strength and lifespan.

He has devoted several months of time and energy to this, and it is impossible to give up halfway.

But after a few days.

When he came to the bounty office in the Land of Water, he learned that his prey had already been captured by others.

While disappointed, he asked his boss for a name.

'Oni Taro.'

Sounds like a pretty cool guy.

At this time, the so-called Oni Taro had returned to Kirigakure after a few days of trekking.

The Land of Water is covered by seas.

As a typical island country, the Land of Water is somewhat similar to the former British Empire. It controls most of the sea lanes in the ninja world and is the overlord of the sea.

In terms of foreign policy, the Land of Water is also the same as the Britain, and has always pursued a policy of balance of power in the mainland.

For a long time, relying on this offshore balance model, the relationship between Kirigakure and the major Ninja Villages has been pretty good. Even if there are occasional conflicts, it will soon pass.

In this era, although Kirigakure has never formally formed alliances with other forces, it has very close communication with the surrounding Ninja villages, and will send people to Konohagakure and Kumogakure to take the Chunin exams every once in a while.

Sometimes as the host, it invites ninjas from other Ninja villages to come to Kirigakure to exchange and learn together.

There are only three days left until Kirigakure ninjas gathers and departs for Konoha to participate in the Chunin Exam.

'Knock, knock.'

"Why are you here?"

Kisame pushed open the door and saw Terumi Mei and Ringo Ameyuri standing at the door with a smile on their face, and Ameyuri was holding a large box in his hand.

Kisame was a little surprised seeing them.
