Jiulian explained.

"Is my rest more important, or his defection?"

Mei Terumi jumped up from the sofa and looked at Kōren with a headache. Why couldn't Kōren distinguish between what was important and what was urgent?

"Lord Mizukage, it's important for you to rest."

"It's a lotus flower," said the woman, her long eyelashes drooping.

Mei Terumi froze, a strange feeling welling up inside her.

"Since the Mizukage took office, he hasn't had a single day of proper rest."

"I'm busy from morning till late at night every day, sometimes even all night."

Keiren took a deep breath: "Last night, Lord Mizukage was in a good mood, so I wanted him to get a good night's rest."

Mei Terumi looked at Keiren, whose eyes were lowered, and felt a pang of sadness and turmoil in her heart.

She walked towards Jiulian, reached out, supported the back of Jiulian's head, and pressed Jiulian's head against her shoulder.

"I know you mean well, but Kisame Hoshigaki's defection is a big deal."

Terumi comforted the coffin lotus.

Keiren raised her head and looked at Mei Terumi: "How did the Mizukage know that Kisame Hoshigaki had defected?"

Mei Terumi snorted: "He was stopped by the village's on-duty ninja when he left. He knocked them all unconscious, and the ninjas told me the news as soon as they woke up."

Mei Terumi rubbed her temples, feeling a headache coming on.

I drank too much last night and didn't get enough rest, so my head is definitely feeling a bit unwell.

Keiren helped Terumi Mei sit down on the sofa, then pressed her hands against her temples and gently massaged them.

While giving Mei Terumi a massage, Keiren explained to her, "Actually, Kisame wanted to defect during the Fourth Mizukage's reign. He couldn't find a reason to exist, and even if he defected, he wouldn't expose the village's secrets or do anything to betray the village."

"So, Lord Mizukage, you can rest assured!"

Keren glanced at Mei Terumi, who had her eyes closed and looked completely blissful, and shook her head.

Terumi Mei has such a lucky life!

Having such a sensible subordinate is wonderful!

Mei Terumi was so comfortable that she was almost asleep.

Kisame Hoshigaki's defection was a done deal, and she couldn't be bothered to pursue it any further.

Since Kisame Hoshigaki trusts Kōren so much, she is also willing to trust Kōren.

Chapter 266 A World Without Lies?

Kisame left Kirigakure.

He stood on a cliff a kilometer away from Kirigakure, looking at the village, which was bathed in pale moonlight.

He turned and continued walking aimlessly forward.

Midway through, the originally bright moonlight hid behind the clouds, and a light drizzle began to fall.

Rain soaked Kisame's hair and trickled down his face, but he didn't seem to care and continued walking forward.

Sensing something, he stopped in his tracks.

Just as he had imagined, Kisame concealed the smile on his lips.

He turned around, just like the one he had seen in the real world.

A masked man emerged from the vortex in the air.

He was wearing the same black robe with red clouds that Kisame had seen in the real world.

The exposed pupils gleamed with a scarlet light.

Kisame remembered very clearly that this person named Uchiha Obito was actually a pawn in Black Zetsu's plan to revive Kaguya, just like Uchiha Madara.

However, they all thought they were the ones making the moves.

Kisame feigned wariness and reached out to grab Samehada, which was on his back.

Although he knew that the person in front of him was not Uchiha Madara, he could still sense the powerful chakra of the person in front of him.

Even if it wasn't Madara Uchiha himself, his strength was still quite astonishing.

The Uchiha clan truly produces many geniuses!

Kisame thought of the little devils in the village who were preparing for the third exam, and sighed inwardly.

Who are you?

Kisame stared intently at Obito Uchiha, who was wearing a mask and trying to appear mysterious.

Obito lowered his voice, imitating Itachi Uchiha's deep voice.

He came here just to deceive Kisame Hoshigaki.

"I?"

Obito's voice was devoid of any emotion: "I am the wandering spirit of this world—Uchiha Madara!"

Just as Kisame predicted.

In order to lure him into joining the Eye of the Moon Project, Obito Uchiha used Madara Uchiha's name.

"Uchiha Madara?"

Kisame's tone was filled with sarcasm as he looked at the man before him and said mockingly, "Didn't Madara Uchiha die in his final battle against the First Hokage? To come back to life? There's a limit to how much you can joke!"

The black magatama in Obito's scarlet pupils suddenly began to spin rapidly, forming a peculiar pattern.

"Perhaps you still remember the Fourth Mizukage whom I controlled; he actually believed the jokes you told me."

Kisame narrowed his eyes.

"So the Fourth Mizukage was controlled by you..."

"No wonder……"

"The Hidden Mist Village will become a hellish place..."

Obito approached Kisame step by step, his figure like a ghost, and his low voice reached Kisame's ears:

"Lies are the essence of this world, and you should know that better than I do."

"You grew up in a world of lies, killed people in lies, and became a ninja in lies."

"Like you, all humans in this world live in lies."

"They repeat the same boring killings in a false peace."

"I will use the Eye of the Moon Project to shatter this world fabricated by lies."

"To create a world without war, falsehood, or lies, but only peace and truth."

His words were indeed very appealing to Kisame.

But after knowing everything...

Kisame knew better than anyone that the world he was in now was the real one.

The world is always real, not made up of lies.

What is truly made up of lies is the human heart.

Just like now, Obito wants to use lies to construct a false world for him.

Kisame was willing to cooperate with Obito Uchiha and continue the act.

That's exactly why he came.

A flicker of doubt crossed his eyes. He lowered his hand from Samehada and looked at Obito: "A real world, without lies?"

Beneath the mask, Obito's lips curled up, but there was no smile in his eyes.

He extended his hand to Kisame, inviting him, "Become a participant in my plan! Use your power to shatter this world filled with lies and welcome a real world without lies!"

Kisame looked at Obito's outstretched hand and wanted to laugh; in fact, he did laugh.

However, Obito clearly interpreted his laughter as something else entirely.

"Let me see! This is the so-called world without lies that you speak of!"

Kisame grasped Obito's hand.

A dark light flashed in Obito's eyes.

Those he originally chose to join Akatsuki were destined to join Akatsuki.

The so-called Eternal Bliss Cult is nothing more than an organization full of charlatans!

……

Over the course of five days, everyone was busy with their own affairs.

Rei Amamiya found a suitable place for training in Kirigakure and guided Itachi Uchiha, Shigure Byakuya, and Suzuran Kaede in their training, striving to improve their combat power in a short period of time.

Killer Bee's daily routine is similar to Rei Amamiya's, also focusing on improving the fighting power of Ayaki Rui and the other two.

Of course, the difference is that Killer Bee spends his free time discussing the Two-Tailed Nekomata with Gyuki.

At the edge of the cliff, Killer Bee sat on the ground, watching Ayaka and the other two train.

Kirabi couldn't sleep because he kept thinking about what Ushioni had mentioned the night before.

"Are you sure?"

Kirabi asked the bull demon in his mind.

"Is the two-tailed cat inside Rei Amamiya again?"

Kirabi stroked his chin.

This is a bit tricky!

Gyuki didn't confirm, but said, "Anyway, I sensed that the chakra used by Amamiya Rei that day included the Two-Tails' chakra!"

"Isn't that the Two-Tails inside Rei Amamiya's body?!"

Kirabi thought the bull demon was talking nonsense.
