Chapter 247: 247
In a dilapidated Hut of Kusagakure, what happened here is horrific.
The red-haired woman was lying on the bed and was bitten by a group of zombie-like ninjas, her arms and thighs were covered with rows of tooth marks. She was pale, looking weak and old, but her eyes were still full of tenderness, watching her child in the corner.
In order to end the life of displacement, in order to have a shelter, in order to allow her daughter to live, she has already made up her mind to sacrifice herself.
"Mom..." Karin, who was sitting in the corner, held her knees with both hands with tears streaming down her eyes. Her shoulder was held down by a Kusa ninja expressionlessly, making her unable to move, she could only watch all this.
For a four-year-old girl, it would be cruel to witness such a scene with her own eyes.
Seeing this, Kisame shook his head.
For Karin and her mother, after losing the country, the village, and the clan, the only thing they can beg for is to live on and on, even if they have no dignity, and their status is inferior to that of pigs and dogs.
Having said that, Konoha is really not a humane village.
As the leader of the five great ninja villages, it kept saying that the Uzumaki clan was their most important allies, and even printed the Uzumaki clan emblem on the Konoha ninja's combat uniform. However, when their allies were besieged by other countries and Shinobi Village, Konoha actually sat idly by and chose to betray the Uzumaki clan and let them perish.
If it was during the Second Ninja World War, Konoha couldn't take care of itself, so if it couldn't help the Uzumaki family, it was excusable.
But, after the war, as a victorious country, why was Konoha unwilling to send manpower to search for the survivors of the Uzumaki clan and provide them with shelter?
In the anime, Naruto Uzumaki's parents died to save the village. As the son of a hero, he was not only unloved, but was discriminated against since he was a child; Nagato's parents fled to Amegakure, but were killed by Konoha ninjas. There are also Karin and her mother in front of him, who cannot find shelter in Konoha, and can only be humiliated and tortured in places like Kusagakure.
In this way, Konoha was not wronged at all by Nagato's "Pain".
Coming back from his thoughts.
Kisame's eyes flashed as he strode inside. He unceremoniously stretched out his hand to push the few Kusa ninjas away, and said in a loud voice, "Get out of the way, it's my turn."
However, after he picked up Karin's mother's arm, he frowned and looked disgusted: "Why are there so many tooth marks and saliva, it's too unhygienic. Besides, this woman is about to be bitten to death, she can no longer be used."
After he finished speaking, he sat down beside the bed, looked at Karin, and said to the Kusa ninja behind her, "You, bring me that little girl."
"Please, don't..."
When Karin's mother heard that, a burst of power suddenly erupted, and she firmly grabbed the corner of Kisame's clothes, her eyes full of pleading, "Sir, please bite me, I will definitely heal your wounds. My daughter is still young, please let her go..."
Kisame suddenly turned around, grabbed the woman's arm, and smiled at her, revealing two rows of white fangs, which made her shudder.
But at the same time, she was surprised to find that a warm force was continuously transmitted to her body from Kisame along her arm.
That power is the same Yang Chakra as the Uzumaki Clan.
"You..." She opened her lips slightly, staring blankly at Kisame, her eyes full of wonder.
"Who is this guy? Why do you think you can cut the queue and give us orders?"
At this moment, a Kusa ninja pointed at Kisame and asked with a look of surprise.
As soon as these words came out, the Kusa ninjas in the room quickly discovered that the strange man in front of him was not a ninja from the Kusagakure at all, he actually swaggered into the room and asked the Uzumaki women to treat him.
Also, this guy doesn't look like he's hurt at all.
Therefore, the truth of the matter is obvious, this person is here to find problem on purpose.
After everyone came back to their senses, they all had a fierce look in their eyes and gathered around Kisame, ready to get their hands dirty.
"Who are you, and what is the purpose of coming to Kusagakure?" A Kusa ninja asked sharply.
"Me? Just a passing traveler. I heard that there are women from the Uzumaki clan here. Just a bite from them can recover any injuries, so I came to check it. Is there any problem?"
Seemingly seeing the doubts in Haruna's eyes, Kisame smiled and came up with an explanation that he had made up a long time ago:
"You should know that Tsunade-sama is the last member of the Senju clan. During the reign of the evil third Hokage Sarutobi Hidden, not only did he sit and watch the allies of the Uzumaki clan be exterminated, but also carefully planned an extermination of the Senju clan. When it was revealed, Tsunade-sama left Konoha in a fit of anger and joined Kirigakure. Over the years, she has never forgotten the Uzumaki clan, and kept in mind the generations friendship between Uzumaki and Senju, so she sent people like me to work to look for the survivors of the Uzumaki clan in the world. So, come with me, to Kirigakure and be under Tsunade-sama's protection."
As he spoke, he stretched out a large hand in front of Uzumaki Haruna.
"Great, great...Thank you Tsunade-sama, thank you..."
Uzumaki Haruna muttered to herself, excitedly incoherent, and held Kisame's hand tightly, with tears flowing uncontrollably.
Since the Uzumaki clan was exterminated in the Second Ninja World War, Haruna Uzumaki has grown from a little girl to a mother in 20 years. It was a dangerous life, full of humiliation and endurance, without dignity and joy.
Therefore, when she learned that such days were finally over and that she could start a beautiful new life in Kirigakure, the joy and yearning in her heart could not be described in any language.
Karin was still young, and although she didn't understand what happened for a while, she couldn't help but feel happy when she saw the happiness her mother had never had.
Kisame was satisfied with their reactions.
His impromptu performance easily gained the loyalty of the mother and daughter, and the rest can be explain in a few words to Tsunade after returning to Kirigakure, and let her play the trick together.
Twenty years ago, Tsunade, as a member of the Senju clan, could only watch the demise of her allies, the Uzumaki clan, and her heart must be full of guilt and self-blame. When Kisame brings back the mother and daughter, she might even thank him.
Kisame noticed that Karin had been staring at him timidly, so he smiled and stretched out his other hand, touched her cheek and said:
"Karin, it's so sad for ninjas like us who have lost their hometown. But don't worry, as long as you stay with me, no one will ever hurt you again. I promise."
Then, he leaned forward and hugged Haruna and Karin with his two big hands. At the same time, the life energy in his body spewed out again, like a blanket emitting a soft white light, wrapping the mother and daughter duo.
"Um"
They couldn't help but let out a comfortable hum, the scars on the body surface and the fatigue in the body were quickly swept away, and their body felt energetic and full of energy like never before.
"Before returning to Kirigakure, I have to inconvenience you."
After healing their wounds, Kisame explained the situation to them in a few words. After getting their nods, he immediately put them in the Box of Ultimate Bliss.
"I saved another widow with a child."
Kisame said to himself, then stood up and left Kusagakure.
After successfully finding the Uzumaki Karin, there is only one goal left for Kisame - to find a suitable person for the four-tails. That person must be able to perfectly use the lava power like a volcanic eruption.
A day later, Kisame entered the territory of the Land of Stone and wandered outside Iwagakure.
'Hm?'
From outside the village, he saw from a distance that fire and smoke were coming from somewhere in Iwagakure. It seemed that some buildings had been blown up, and the air was filled with the smell of sulfur.
Kisame performed the transformation technique, disguised himself as an inconspicuous passerby, came to the vicinity of the explosion site, and heard the comments of many villagers.
"This isn't the first time, right? That stinky little brat, Deidara, has repeatedly created terror in the village and blew up so many houses. That too just for fun? What a lunatic."
"Since Onoki-sama's death, Deidara has become more and more arrogant and even unscrupulous. If it weren't for him being Onoki-sama's disciple, he would have been beaten to death long ago already."
"I heard that the fourth Tsuchikage Biwa-sama was furious and couldn't bear it anymore with regards to Deidara. He has already driven him to live outside the village. I hope this kid can reflect on it and be a new person, alas."
""
Hearing the chatter of the villagers, the corners of Kisame's mouth curled up.
That's right, his second target is the genius boy of Iwakagure, the disciple of Onoki, and also a member of Akatsuki in the anime - Deidara.
