I Punch the Tailed B Chapter 343: Kisame is Tired of Living

Chapter 343 - Kisa is Tired of Living

The people present were all stunned. Itachi turned out to be a Shadow Clone.

The people that attacked Itachi were baffled too. They had just realized that they had provoked the wrong guy. A first-year student who could use an advanced Ninjutsu like Shadow Clone Technique was indeed a formidable monster.

Even Itachi's classmates who were about to call a teacher for help were shocked. The heroic Itachi who had taken on five opponents turned out to be just a Shadow Clone. This made them wonder how powerful the real Itachi was.

No, even mastering Shadow Clone at such a young age was already impressive. Itachi was only six years old.

Izumi was also baffled, but for a different reason. If the one that had been attending the Academy this whole ti was a Shadow Clone, then who was she trying to seduce this whole ti?

"No, when a Shadow Clone is dispelled, its mories return to the user, so it's almost the sa as the real Itachi. The information has been transmitted," Izumi reassured herself.

On the other side...

"Itachi, are you okay?" Kabuto, who had been training with Itachi, noticed Itachi suddenly stopping, so he asked out of concern.

Itachi thought for a mont and replied, "It's just a minor issue. It won't affect us. Let's continue."

If he was discovered, then so be it. If necessary, he could just take the exams ahead of ti and graduate right away. He didn't find the Academy all that exciting.

The level of his classmates was below average, and there was no one like Hanayo that was worth fighting.

Continuing his study in the Academy was less appealing than joining the Special Combat Division with Kabuto, where he could learn new things and had more challenging opponents.

"Alright then, be careful. I'm going all out now," Kabuto said while gripping a wooden sword and releasing Chakra at the sa ti before charging at Itachi.

...

"Hoshigaki-san, co join us for a al. We're all comrades," Miru invited Kisa, who was sitting alone.

Kisa glanced at the beautiful brown-haired girl who had just invited him with a smile and declined, "No need. It doesn't make any difference where you eat anyway."

Although it was their first mission together, Kisa felt that the brown-haired girl with the bright smile in front of him wasn't cut out to be a Shinobi. Her smile was too radiant, making it hard for Kisa to open his eyes. Such people didn't belong in the dirty and bloody profession.

"Co on, Hoshigaki-san, this is the chance for us to get to know each other better," despite Kisa's cold refusal, Miru still smiled and offered him to join them.

Throughout their journey from the Land of Water to the Land of Fire, Miru noticed Kisa's loneliness. Maybe it was because of his sowhat inhuman appearance, but even though Kisa was the leader of this team, no one would spend ti with him, not even for a short al break.

Miru didn't want to see this happen. She believed that one's appearance wasn't sothing they could choose; it was sothing they were born with. How could soone be judged solely based on their appearance?

If Kisa had a terrible personality and behavior, she would treat him like everyone else because he brought it upon himself. However, during the entire journey, Kisa had been silently and efficiently handling various tasks, never blaming anyone, and always organizing things well.

Because of that, Miru believed that Kisa was a good person, so she wanted to help him blend with the team, so that he was at least not as lonely.

"No, thanks," Kisa replied briefly, rejecting Miru's invitation once again.

"Miru, since the captain has said so, you should give it up. After all, captain is different from us," another Kirigakure Shinobi said implicitly.

The rest of Kirigakure Shinobi also advised Miru to drop it.

But Miru was a stubborn girl since she was young. If she set her mind to sothing, she had to see it through.

Since Kisa refused to join them, she decided to sit next to him instead.

Seeing Miru sitting beside him, Kisa still didn't say a word. His mind was elsewhere.

After all, they had arrived in the Land of Fire, and even during rest periods, Kisa remained alert. He had set up various traps and barrier in the area, so he couldn't afford to let his guard down.

Before long, Kisa felt that they had rested enough, so he stood up and said, "Let's go!"

Although so of the Kirigakure Shinobi hadn't finished eating, they were all Shinobi. They quickly packed up and followed Kisa.

They continued their journey deep into the forests of the Land of Fire.

This ti, their mission was to gather information about Konoha, and if possible, station so spies in the nearby towns.

As they were traveling, Miru stayed close to Kisa. During their next rest, she smiled and said, "Hoshigaki-san, the one earlier doesn't count. After the mission, let's have a al together."

Seeing Miru's smiling face, Kisa felt a bit distracted. No girl had ever smiled so gently at him ever since he was a child.

However, Kisa quickly regained his composure. For him, mission always ca first, and everything else ca after.

Kisa didn't answer Miru's question. Since it was the plan after the mission, he would only consider about it once the mission was over.

But this ti, things didn't go as smoothly for Kisa's team.

Before long, one of Kisa's traps was triggered.

"Quick, move!" Kisa's expression changed, and he quickly ordered his n to move.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

Five Shinobi wearing Konohagakure forehead protector appeared in front of Kisa.

"Kirigakure Shinobi, what are you scheming by infiltrating the Land of Fire?" The leader of the Konoha Shinobi asked.

Kirigakure Shinobi had no intention of fighting head-on. They fought while retreating because this was the Land of Fire, Konohagakure's territory. If they engaged in a direct confrontation, they would soon find themselves in a disadvantage.

However, the Konoha Shinobi were powerful, and even though Kisa's team had one more Shinobi than Konoha Shinobi, they were at a disadvantage. One of the Kirigakure Shinobi injured his leg and couldn't move.

Kisa made a quick decision and threw a Kunai with an Explosive Tag attached at the injured Kirigakure, killing him instantly.

If these Hidden Mist ninja were captured by Konohagakure, they would likely be subjected to interrogation and reveal crucial information. Kisa couldn't allow that to happen; his duty was to protect Kirigakure's interests.

Although Kisa was strong, he couldn't protect so many teammates, and soon, three more of them were injured.

Kisa didn't hesitate and imdiately unsheathed his sword. He killed his three injured n quickly and then used Explosive Tags as a smokescreen, escaping with only two remaining teammates left.

The situation grew increasingly dire as it seed like even fate itself was against Kisa's team. They found themselves at a dead-end with a seemingly bottomless cliff in front of them.

"Kisa-san, what should we do now?" Miru asked Kisa worriedly.

Kisa remained silent, drawing the blade that was stained with the blood of his comrades once again, and approached the two remaining Kirigakure Shinobi.

One of the Kirigakure Shinobi was frightened and took a step back.

Suddenly, Kisa moved with explosive speed, swiftly killing that Shinobi before approaching Miru.

Miru showed no fear on her face, nor did she attempt to run or resist. She allowed Kisa's blade to pierce her heart.

"It's a bit regrettable, isn't it? It seems we won't be having that al together after all," Miru said with a smile. She didn't get the chance to finish her sentence before she collapsed, still with the radiant smile that unsettled Kisa.

After killing Miru, Kisa's hand, which tightly gripped the sword hilt, trembled slightly. However, he quickly regained his composure and sheathed the blade.

Living in a world filled with bloodshed and deception had left people disillusioned and weary. Sotis, one had to make difficult choices, even if they were emotionally taxing.

In the end, Kisa made a decisive leap, jumping off the bottomless cliff.
