"I'm honored." Kisame smiled slightly, holding Samehada and continuing his attack.

"Wait a minute!" Morino Ibiki suddenly called out, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes, and he snapped his fingers slightly.

The chains binding Zabuza and the others rapidly tightened, squeezing Zabuza and causing him to cry out in pain.

Meanwhile, Mizuki and Shiro looked at Ibiki Morino with extremely bored expressions.

"Oh? What's going on?" A look of surprise appeared on Ibiki Morino's face.

Kisame untied the sashes binding Samehada, revealing the Samehada body filled with deep blue spikes, then chuckled, "You don't really think your little thing can restrain my companion, do you?"

"Clang!" With a sound of ice crystals cracking, Bai successfully broke free of the iron chains. He looked coldly at Morino Ibiki. He had just swiftly frozen the iron chains with ice crystals and then controlled the ice crystals to shatter, perfectly breaking free of control.

Shuiyue smiled slightly. The iron chain sealing his waist turned into a puddle of water, which Shuiyue quickly liquefied. Then, she stood up effortlessly. Seeing that the iron chain was about to get up again, Shuiyue glanced at it from the side and swiftly drew the twin swords, Hiramekarei, from behind her. She combined the two swords and cut the iron chain and the torture chair in two.

The shark's body began to throb and twitch, like a hungry shark that couldn't resist rushing out to hunt for food!

Kisame gently patted Samehada, "I'll give you a powerful dose of chakra right away, don't rush!"

Kisame was incredibly fast; his body vanished instantly in front of Ibiki Morino, and the next second, he appeared behind Zabuza.

"Clang!" The powerful slash directly engulfed the iron chain, rescuing Zabuza.

Samehada found a spot with some chakra and began to devour the chains greedily, but the chains had limited chakra, and Samehada became anxious again.

At that moment, Kisame Hoshigaki pointed Samehada at Ibiki Morino, while Zabuza, Haku, and Suigetsu Hozuki behind him all looked ready to fight.

"Hey, interrogator, isn't it time to settle our score?" Kisame's mind was filled with the scene from that day.

The brown-haired girl died in despair, her eyes wide open. Since she had just joined the group, Kisame didn't even know her name.

For the sake of classified information, Kisame killed his companions and jumped off a cliff, but his dedication did not bring him the reward he deserved.

Kisame is lost and gradually loses his direction in life...

But things are different today...

Looking at the rising stars of the ninja world fighting alongside him, Kisame smiled.

"The era that Kenshin spoke of will eventually come..."

"Before that, you will be a sacrifice to step into that era, Morino Ibiki!" Kisame's voice gradually turned cold.

Chapter 64 Interesting Stories

Konoha Village, shortly after dawn, in a certain corner.

Yoriichi walked on a gravel path, with Deidara and Karin following behind him.

Yoriichi used his chakra senses to search this location. For some reason, the place was filled with small pebbles. Ahead was a high wall painted gray-white, and there was no other way.

“Strange, the feather’s chakra should be right here.” Yoriichi stopped and squatted down to examine the rubble beneath his feet.

Deidara stood calmly at a distance, observing his surroundings. Although Yoriichi's chakra perception might be able to sense danger faster than his, Deidara was still accustomed to fighting with caution.

He tilted his head back, and small spiders emerged from his sleeves, spreading out in all directions to set up "monitors" in the surrounding area.

Karin followed Yoriichi and squatted down. She carefully observed the pebbles on the ground, just like Yoriichi, but she couldn't see anything.

"Is it an illusion barrier?" Yoriichi placed his hand on the ground, closed his eyes, and the traces of snakes began to appear around his eyebrows.

Several small snakes turned transparent, flicking their tongues, and burrowed into the ground.

The snakes' bodies merged into the yin and yang realms, no longer restricted by the stones, and they almost pierced through the ground to penetrate inwards.

This is a detection technique created by Yoriichi by combining the Snake Concealment Technique and the Summoning Technique. It can forcibly explore areas regardless of certain spatial limitations.

Karin's mouth was slightly open when she saw the small snake, and she almost cried out—but she managed to hold back.

After all, this is a mission period, and we absolutely cannot cause any trouble for Lord Kenshin.

Karin glanced sideways at Yoriichi, gently gripping his black trench coat with one hand, the fear on her face slowly fading.

Soon, the little snakes returned. Yoriichi stretched out his hand, and the little snakes nimbly climbed onto Yoriichi's slender fingers, turning into chakra and dissipating into Yoriichi's body like air.

Yuan's eyes lit up immediately. The little snake had explored below and brought back two pieces of information.

First, the area below is hollow, meaning that it hides a space similar to a basement.

Secondly, there is the life force of two living people inside.

"Two?" Yuan's expression changed.

It seems there are other people besides Lingyu?

Yoriichi pulled a Flying Thunder God kunai from his pocket, threw it forcefully, and it stuck into a large rock ten meters away from him.

"Demi, Karin." Yoriichi gently swayed his trench coat and drew the sword from his waist.

"Let's go!"

"Go? Where to?" Deidara slowly walked over.

Yoriichi smiled and pointed to the ground.

"Go underground!"

Yoriichi stretched out his hands, his strong arms grasping Karin's hands, and Karin's body immediately became transparent.

Karin also noticed that the part below her body was gradually becoming transparent. She shook her other hand, which was not being held by Yoriichi, and saw that the hand was like a data-generated virtual arm. Although it had a tactile feel, it was more like a virtual projection. Karin was amazed and curious.

Deidara suddenly remembered as well.

"So that's the technique!" Deidara smiled with relief. When he was surrounded by Haku before, Yoriichi used this technique to neutralize the attacks of countless phantom clones. It's practically a divine defensive technique!

Deidara slapped his hand away and gripped Yoriichi's hand tightly until Yoriichi's body also became transparent.

"Are you ready?" Yoriichi asked.

"Ready!" Karin said happily.

Deidara nodded slightly, a frivolous smile playing on his lips. "Ready."

Yoriichi exerted force with his feet, his body became completely transparent, and he fell towards the ground. Deidara and Karin were both slightly stunned, and then slowly adjusted themselves.

Karin stared at Yoriichi in shock, her face filled with undisguised admiration. When she and Deidara became invisible, they should have landed on the ground, but that didn't happen. She had initially thought the technique hadn't been activated yet.

The truth was that Yoriichi used his immense wrist strength to support the two of them. This was already quite an achievement, but Karin didn't feel any vibration at all, indicating that Yoriichi had directly lifted and stabilized their entire bodies.

Karin and Deidara both noticed this, which is why they were slightly taken aback for a moment. Both of them are intelligent and quickly realized what was going on.

A few seconds later, a spacious area indeed appeared underground. Yoriichi released the Snake Concealment Technique from his feet and landed on the ground as quietly and steadily as possible.

Yoriichi released their hands, made a shushing gesture with his other hand (the one not holding the Kusanagi sword), and looked at them calmly.

Karin and Deidara both nodded in agreement.

The three of them quietly began to walk along the path, which was extremely dark and narrow, but at the end of the path, there were faint lights.

Yoriichi enhanced his senses and confirmed that there were signs of life inside.

“This is it!” Yoriichi sneered and quietly approached the interior. The underground area was not overdeveloped and was more like an unrenovated, narrow cave. The surrounding rocks and soil were not flat, but they were quite stable.

"There's probably some kind of supporting chakra barrier set up here," Yoriichi guessed to himself.

Yoriichi did not choose to stride in. He did not want to alert Lingyu and the other person inside. Ideally, he would assassinate Lingyu when he was not paying attention!

Although Lingyu's strength is still inferior to Yoriichi's, she is still a force to be reckoned with, roughly at the low Kage level.

“It’s better to play it safe with this kind of role,” Yoriichi thought. “Besides, there are two people with the Life Mark, and we don’t know the strength of the third one yet, so we can’t just rush in.”

Yoriichi had taken the most careful measures he could; he couldn't afford to make the same mistake as last time!

The three of them took light steps and slowly approached the location of the inner cave.

A moment later, a long, penetrating male voice came from the cave. Yoriichi lowered his eyes and stopped in his tracks.

"Little Feather, do you remember what your master told you before, that he would tell you another story?" The voice was male, with a slightly teasing tone, making one imagine that the person who heard the voice was smiling.

“I remember, Master Ada…” Lingyu’s soft, sweet voice came out, “Would you like to tell me now?”

Deidara and Karin also heard the voice. They looked at Yoriichi, who had stopped, with some tension. Yoriichi's expression changed, becoming murderous. The two were almost certain that the female voice in the cave was the one speaking.

A major battle may be about to break out...

But since Yoriichi had not yet set off, the two decided to stay put and wait for Yoriichi's next decision.

Yoriichi did not make a move immediately. The murderous intent in his eyes was temporarily concealed, and he began to listen carefully to the conversation inside the cave.

"Hehe, that's an interesting story..."

"The story of a scientist passionate about scientific research..."

Chapter 65 Scientists (Part 1)

Ida's voice slowed down, as if she were slowly recalling something.

"A young scientist from Konoha, a scientist who dedicates his energy to science but is not understood by his family."

Lingyu sat on the edge of the bed, her bright green eyes sparkling, listening quietly to Ada's sermon.

"To prove his worth, this diligent scientist devoted himself to research day and night..." Ada deliberately paused, her expression becoming excited, a glint of light flashing in her eyes.

"Finally, he has completed a masterpiece! Something that could overturn the ninja world!"

“That was an incomplete life form! He named it a homunculus…” A hint of admiration flashed in Ada’s eyes.

"Although artificial humans are incomplete, they are enough to overturn the scientific history of the entire ninja world!"

"But just as he was happily presenting the results of his research to his family and the village..." Ida paused again.

On a stormy, rainy night, a scientist dressed in white excitedly showed his work to everyone.

"This is the world's first android!" he said excitedly, his eyes filled with excitement.

He was clearly a young man, yet he had a full head of white hair and a slovenly beard. But he didn't care about that. He locked himself in his room for months to study, all for this moment.

He stood outside the door, looking excitedly at the few people inside whose faces were darkened by the lamplight, longing to see approval in their eyes.

But instead of the approval he craved, the people's eyes held a look of fearful disgust...

He was condemned as a traitor for committing inhumane acts. Instead of rewarding him, the village expelled him from the village, but left his artificial human test subjects behind.

The rain was pouring down. He looked at the home he had lived in day and night, and the raindrops soaked his white hair. He had lost his home, his scientific research achievements, and his whole world!
