Naruto: Five Lives, Five Times the Excitement

Chapter 85 I am Rukawa Kaede

After observing for a while and finding no danger, Mikami's shadow clone appeared, walked to Kono Ishi's stall, and reached out to grab a live fish.

"This fish isn't fresh; it's dead. Dead fish are worthless. You're being naive to think someone will buy it."

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Takano Ishi looked up, surprised to see the stranger in front of him, and then answered in a firm tone.

"Even a dead fish can have its value. As long as I keep going, I'll eventually find someone to buy it!"

The shadow clone dropped the fish and looked into Takano Ishi's eyes.

Every choice comes with a price. Are you sure you want to stick with it?

Konoshi nodded decisively: "I'm sure!"

The shadow clone chuckled, said nothing more, turned and left, quickly disappearing into the crowd.

Kono Ishi wanted to speak, but suddenly realized that the situation was not suitable, so he suppressed his anxiety, pretended that nothing was wrong, worked all day, and then hurried home.

"Why is nobody here?"

Seeing the empty little house, Takano Ishi's mood quickly plummeted; he thought that Mimori would come looking for him.

However, he quickly composed himself: "It's okay, he will definitely show up! I absolutely cannot live an ordinary life!"

In a bustling restaurant, Misato was eating grilled meat when he received information about his shadow clone.

"Tsk tsk, Takano Ishi, you're so adorably silly! I need someone like you!"

After finishing his barbecue, Mi Shou walked onto the street and saw two familiar faces.

"Kisame Hoshigaki and Rinko Terumi, why are they together? Are they dating? Hahaha, interesting. If Naoto Hozuki saw this, he would be furious."

Mi kept it in her heart, knitting a green hat of forgiveness for Hozuki Naoto, but her face was full of indifference as she brushed past Kisame Hoshigaki.

Terumi Rinko suddenly stopped and turned to look at Mimori's back.

Kisame Hoshigaki asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Mimori's figure disappeared into the crowd. Rinko shook her head: "I felt that the person just now was really awful, and I really wanted to beat him up."

Kisame Hoshigaki was speechless. He thought Kisame was attracted to that guy because he was handsome.

"Don't think about that anymore, let's go hand over the mission."

Instead of meeting Konosuke, Mikami continued to monitor Konosuke with his shadow clones all night before deciding to reveal himself.

"Father, Mother, Brother, don't worry, I will definitely live a good life, I will definitely make a name for myself, and I will trample those ninja clans under my feet!"

This place is very remote, with weeds and rocks everywhere. Koya Seki stands in front of three mounds, pouring out his heart.

Standing behind Takano Ishi, Mimori heard Takano Ishi's words and felt it was a pity.

"Isn't this the standard oath a protagonist makes before their triumphant return? How did he come out of his mouth? Does he have the destiny of a protagonist?"

Mi Shou thought about it and realized it was true.

A student with absolutely no ninja talent was bullied by ninja clan members every day, his entire family was wiped out, and he finally encountered an NPC who was willing to help him.

Amazing! Takano Ishi has everything a protagonist needs!

Wait, how did I become an NPC?!

Mimori coughed awkwardly, the sound alerting Takano Ishi, who immediately turned around and saw a handsome stranger.

"Lord Mikami, is that you?"

Mimori nodded and said with a smile, "Since you haven't given up on me, I won't give up on you either! This is Kirigakure, and we're in danger at any time. For our safety, let's split up and meet up in the Land of Waves."

After speaking, Mikami disappeared, while Konoshi returned home, tidied up briefly, and headed towards the dock.

Several tens of minutes later, on a hill, Mi Shou stopped and looked behind him.

"Come out!"

"You're no ordinary guy. Tell me quickly, who are you and what's your purpose in coming to Kirigakure!"

Kisame Hoshigaki and Rinko appeared, looking at Mimori warily.

"Haha, you two idiots! I'm Rukawa Kaede! My hobby is sleeping, and my dream is to conquer the nation!"

Mimori gave his all, perfectly capturing Rukawa Kaede's aloofness.

"nonsense!"

Kisame Hoshigaki charged forward with his sword, and Rinko used ninjutsu to assist him.

"Water Release·Water Crush Wave!"

Mikami dodged the blades and ninjutsu in succession, and just as he landed on the ground, Kisame Hoshigaki appeared behind him.

"Water Release: Water Prison Technique!"

In a short while, Mi Shou was trapped in the water prison, but he was not flustered at all and began to form hand seals.

"I am Rukawa Kaede, a super rookie! These mere Mist Ninja can't stop me! Wait until I return with my personal guard, and I'll take my revenge on you!"

After speaking, Mikami disappeared, and Kisame Hoshigaki frowned.

"Is it a shadow clone?"

Rinko said seriously, "We are currently at war with the Cloud Ninja, and now an unfamiliar ninja has appeared. We must report this to the village as soon as possible."

Kisame Hoshigaki nodded: "That's right! Rukawa Kaede, messing with our Kirigakure is your biggest mistake!"

At this moment, Mi Shou had already boarded a ship heading out to sea. As he watched the coastline gradually recede into the distance, a smile crept onto his face.

"What does it have to do with me, Misato, that Rukawa Kaede offended you Kirigakure? If you're so capable, go find Rukawa Kaede. And while you're at it, give my regards to Akagi Haruko, hahaha."

"You two, one used Sakuragi Hanamichi and the other used Rukawa Kaede. When I need to, should I transform into Mitsui Hisashi?"

In his dream, Ooka Shin heard about Yamori's actions that day and was utterly speechless.

Kyosuke laughed and said, "Hehe, you can transform into Takenori Akagi, or Haruko Akagi."

Ooka Shin retorted directly: "You should transform into Akagi Haruko or Ayako, and you'd better create a seduction technique. Then you can ask Jiraiya to teach you Sage Mode. The lecherous Jiraiya won't refuse!"

Mikami agreed with Ooka Shin's words: "Not only Jiraiya, but I guess even the Third Hokage couldn't withstand it. This is a shortcut to getting rich. With more variety, we watch so many anime, and there are countless beautiful women."

Kyosuke righteously refused: "Don't even think about it! I will never use my body to gain your benefits! Unless you teach me the art of seduction!"

Chisuke sighed, "We're really useless. We can't even come up with a seduction technique."

Kyosuke, however, offered himself a reason: "This shows we're upright and don't have so many ulterior motives. By the way, Chisuke, is your injury almost healed? Have you taken any action?"

Chisuke immediately said, "There really is. I heard from Yekura that the Sand Village has suffered too many casualties during this period of war, so the Kazekage has decided to directly contain the main force of Konoha and has sent me to lead a team to attack Konoha's rear supply lines. I estimate that the order will be given in the next few days."

Ooka Shin asked curiously, "Why you?"

Chisuke explained, "Because I can use Shukaku's chakra, I have a long battle endurance. In addition, the Kazekage and the others had to maintain the front line, so they sent me."

Upon hearing this, Kyosuke immediately perked up and offered his suggestions.

"Hey, how about we team up? You've caused enough trouble, then I'll defeat you. That'll increase my prestige a lot."

Chisuke flatly refused: "You idiot! How can I, a Jinchūriki, be defeated by a Chunin like you? How can I face anyone back home? Besides, if you reveal your full strength, you'll arouse suspicion. Don't forget, you've also offended Danzo!"

Kyosuke felt some regret, but he didn't give up on his idea.

"Yes, that's a real shame. Well then, how about this: I'll find an opportunity to rescue a few Konoha ninjas from you. That should be acceptable, right?"

Chisuke agreed: "No problem, as long as we cooperate well, no one will suspect us."

At this moment, Kiichiro interjected.

"By the way, if we encounter a ninja with a bloodline limit, we should take advantage of them. I need to purchase research equipment, such as the Rinnegan and Byakugan. Find me materials quickly."

Kyosuke frowned when he heard Kiichiro's request.

"This is somewhat difficult. There are special units on the battlefield responsible for clearing out the bodies. One of their duties is to recover the bodies, especially those of bloodline limit ninjas. If a body disappears without explanation, they will also record and investigate it."
