Chapter 1044: Doubts

As for her clothes, she was already wearing an Akatsuki cloak. With her short hair that fell to her neck and her eyes that looked more like black gems, she looked innocent and energetic, but also a little mysterious.

— Kisame, where did you find her?" Su Xiao asked, realizing that he had seen her before, but she was definitely older then. He'd seen her running away from the samurai, and he'd thought she was an employee of Paradise.

But then she was being chased by the samurai of the Iron Country, while Kisame went to catch the eight-tailed jinchuuriki. How did they meet? And according to Kisame, they knew each other well.

— I met her when I was trying to capture the eight — tailed jinchuuriki in the Land of Iron, " Kisame replied and looked at the eight-tailed jinchuuriki, Killer B, on his shoulders.

In fact, Kisame was able to capture the eight-tailed jinchuuriki thanks to Su Xiao.

According to the usual course of events, in the battle with the eight-tailed Samehada's jinchuuriki, Kisame should have suddenly rebelled against her master.

This was mainly due to the fact that the sword was not controlled by Kisame, but by a clone of Zetsu who disguised himself as him. He looked exactly like Kisame and could use Kisame's abilities.

This might reduce the risks, but it also had its drawbacks, and in the end, in a battle with jinchuuriki, Samehada would betray him and go over to Killer B's side because his chakra was more delicious.

Due to such a sudden turn at that moment, Kisame was in a dilemma. At first, he only tried to capture eight-tailed jinchuuriki, and because his attempt failed, he ended up only being able to hide in Samehada and let eight-tailed Jinchuuriki take Samehada with him.

This way, not only would he be able to gather information, but he would eventually be able to wait for a better opportunity to capture the eight-tailed one.

However, this time, things took a very different path.

Due to the fact that Killer B was still too weak, Kisame didn't hide and stepped out of the shadows.

The sudden appearance of the second Kisame made Killer B think for a moment that he was a clone.

Samehada, sensing the real Kisame, immediately released spikes and wounded Killer Bee. This sword had its own consciousness, or was most likely a full-fledged artificially created creature.

Killer B immediately tried to leave when he realized that everything had gone wrong, and although Kisame wasn't very good in terms of speed, he was a very tough fighter.

After some time, they arrived at a coastal area near the Country of Iron.

This was bad news, as Killer Bi could easily return to Hidden Cloud Village by sea.

Shinobi could move freely through the water with their chakra, and while not all shinobi could run through the water for hours, this rule didn't work for the eight-tailed jinchuuriki.

Killer B didn't have any problems with his chakra reserves. Although Kisame wasn't weak either, compared to Killer B, he didn't even have close to that much chakra.

Just when Kisame was about to think that he had failed his mission, he noticed a group nearby.

This group was made up of samurai, and they were all chasing the same girl.

Coincidentally, Kisame recognized this girl, and he knew that she was a perception-type shinobi.

In the end, Kisame helped her deal with the samurai, and she helped Kisame catch the Killer..

But if Su Xiao hadn't killed the fourth Raikage, according to the original story, the fourth Raikage would have been able to come to the aid of Killer Bi and the two brothers would have been able to kill Kisame.

Kisame briefly described how he caught the eight-tails.

— I originally wanted to sneak into Hidden Cloud Village, but I ended up realizing that I could capture the Eight — Tailed jinchuuriki alive, " Kisame said in a slightly tired voice, which was not surprising considering that he had chased the eight-tailed Jinchuuriki almost across the Country..

— You made the right choice, " Obito said and nodded. — As for the newcomer you introduced, what village he's from, and if he's a rebel?

Obito was now the leader of Akatsuki. Even though Kisame had introduced a new person to them, the faction leader still had to give his approval. Of course, this was just a formality, since it wasn't Nagato who was controlling Akatsuki right now, but still.

— The Konoha rebel, a perception-type shinobi, is not very strong in combat, but has special skills to attract people to his side.

Obito's eyes lit up when he heard that.

Akatsuki was in dire need of new people right now.

Su Xiao, on the other hand, had gained important information through this conversation. First of all, this wasn't the first time this girl had entered Naruto's world. Last time, she was clearly able to get to know Kisame and was even able to establish a good relationship with him.

As for her 'perception-type shinobi' status, it wasn't anything surprising. Most employees preferred to learn and improve assistive abilities and sought protection from contractors.

Employees without auxiliary abilities often had a hard time, because they had to spend Paradise coins to get protection..

However, the strange thing was that this girl had already entered Naruto's world twice. There were two possible explanations for this. Firstly, she was very unlucky, and secondly, she was not an employee at all and pursued other goals.

The second option didn't sound very plausible. After all, open worlds were big and usually required a considerable amount of time to stay in, and she was planning on pretending to be an employee for so long? And at the same time infiltrated Akatsuki?

Very few contractors dared to pretend to be an employee and enter the derivative worlds alone.
