"Is it too small?"
["Hehehe~"]
"My lord, perhaps we could connect to the three holy lands?"
"Is that still too young?"
Upon hearing this, Naruto paused, then continued to think along those lines.
"The three holy sites?"
"Shikkotsu Forest, Ryuchi Cave, Mt. Myoboku."
Naruto frowned.
Suddenly he said:
"Perhaps, it was once connected to the ninja world?"
"That's certainly possible."
Naruto glanced at the somewhat unfamiliar figure beside him.
Kisame Hoshigaki.
[good. ]
Naruto is also quite interested in this one.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have let him leave that day.
"What's wrong, Naruto-sama?"
Kisame Hoshigaki smiled.
Naruto looked away.
Watching the sun set in the distance.
[He asked, "Kisame, do you have any brothers or sisters?"]
["Hehehe~"]
"No, there isn't."
"I have no relatives or friends."
"I've been alone since I can remember."
Upon hearing this, Naruto couldn't help but glance at him again.
[It lingered for a moment at the gills on his neck.]
[people? ]
[Have I always been a fish since I can remember?]
[Looking at Kisame Hoshigaki's appearance.]
Naruto felt that if Kisame Hoshigaki said that, it wouldn't seem out of place.
On the contrary...
["interesting."]
"It seems there are indeed many things about this ninja world that we don't know."
Kisame Hoshigaki's smile also faded considerably.
Because Naruto's gaze just now was very obvious and intense.
Therefore, Kisame Hoshigaki naturally guessed what Naruto was thinking.
He gave a bitter laugh.
"To be honest, I'm telling you..."
"I think about this problem sometimes."
Why am I different from other people?
"But every time I think about it..."
"It makes me think of the Hozuki clan and the Kaguya clan."
"Compared to them."
"The only thing that seems to set him apart from ordinary people is his unusual appearance."
"And then there are those innate... fish-man features."
Naruto listened quietly.
[He did not interrupt Kisame Hoshigaki.]
Gradually.
Kisame Hoshigaki's voice became much softer.
Clearly, he said everything he could say and think of.
Naruto's lips curled slightly.
He wore his signature gentle smile.
"Aren't you going to keep making things up?"
"Actually, what you just said wasn't bad."
"It can evoke people's sympathy."
Kisame Hoshigaki: "..."
He wasn't embarrassed at all.
He smiled and then said nothing more.
After all, this is something he's not really good at.
Seeing that Naruto seemed somewhat lost, he had no choice but to speak up.
Naruto shook his head.
"Let's wait a little longer."
"Afterwards, you will travel with me to the Land of Water."
"Go to the location in your memory that feels like your birthplace."
"That's hard to say."
"It feels like we're back in the water."
Kisame Hoshigaki grinned.
Naruto wasn't surprised.
[Kisame Hoshigaki can breathe underwater like a fish; he knows that.]
Furthermore, it can fuse with Samehada.
This is what surprised Naruto.
[even. ]
[Naruto believes.]
[The so-called Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.]
They should be called the Six Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.
[The Samehada on Kisame's back.]
[The Seven Ninja Swordsmen, or perhaps one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, Samehada.]
[It's likely that he has a deep connection with Kisame Hoshigaki.]
Otherwise, before Kisame Hoshigaki, there was no such thing as Samehada.
[There are also ninja swords that absorb chakra and fuse with their host.]
Samehada isn't even really a ninja sword; it's more like...
[A certain creature.]
[...]
He shook his head, clearing his mind of the jumbled thoughts.
He hasn't entered the Kamui Tsukuyomi space yet.
Naruto believes he hasn't even reached the pinnacle of this ninja world yet.
[I rashly entered the world of Kamui Tsukuyomi.]
If the version of myself in that world were stronger than the version of myself now, then I'm doomed.
[Nowadays.]
Naruto is not alone.
No, it should be said that Naruto was no longer a person a long time ago.
He also has things and people he cherishes.
We cannot allow our carelessness to plunge the entire ninja world into danger.
[This causes everything that one cares about to suffer.]
This is something Naruto doesn't want to see.
That's why I haven't gone to the world of Kamui Tsukuyomi yet.
[His intuition told him so.]
Entering it will bring you many incredible things.
"Judging by the time, it's about time."
Naruto suddenly said something.
Kisame Hoshigaki stood to the side, somewhat embarrassed.
[This Lord.]
Why does it feel like my thoughts are jumping around so fast?
Perhaps it's because I have many things on my mind and think quickly, so I solve one problem and jump to the next.
Kisame Hoshigaki knew, in any case, that he couldn't keep up with this master's train of thought.
[They could only obediently wait quietly to the side.]
However, Kisame Hoshigaki finally understood why this person had spared him upon their first meeting.
[So it turns out she was interested in her own background.]
It's a bit strange to say I'm interested in the body.
However, even after all these years, Kisame Hoshigaki himself still doesn't understand what happened.
[certainly. ]
If it were this esteemed person who were to take action.
Kisame believed that the answer would come soon.
[...]
Tobirama Senju: "Speaking of which, Kisame, your existence is indeed something to be curious about."
Tobirama Senju: "I have never heard of a clan similar to yours."
Kisame Hoshigaki: "I'd like to know the answer to that too."
Kisame Hoshigaki: "I have absolutely no idea what the answer is."
Uchiha Izuna: This world is too small.
Uchiha Izuna: The location of the summoned ninja beasts...the three sacred lands?
Uchiha Izuna: Could it be that there are many undiscovered islands overseas?
Uchiha Izuna: And the three holy lands are the best among those ninja beasts?
Tobirama Senju: "That's very likely."
Kisame Hoshigaki: "..."
Kisame Hoshigaki: "So I'm a summoning beast?"
...
[at the same time. ]
[The Moon, its surface.]
Inside a dilapidated palace.
Dozens of figures walked out mechanically.
"It's the feeling of pure white eyes..."
"They've finally appeared."
"I've finally waited for you to grow up."
"A pure white eye..."
["Hehe~"]
"From this perspective, the ninja world created by the Sage of Six Paths wasn't entirely a failure."
"The princess with the pure white eyes."
"Go and bring her back."
[Click click click—]
[After a strange sound.]
[Inside the palace.]
Dozens of figures flew out of the palace riding strange "birds."
