One Dragon Tail Kick will shatter your Susanoo dream!

Xiao Nan hugged the Swift Crab tightly, her voice filled with surprise.

"Brother Zhi, it's so cute, I love it!"

Cao Zhi sighed helplessly and quickly spoke up.

"I'm glad you like it. It's in its infancy now, but when it grows up, it can defend you against attacks!"

Cao Zhi looked at the system panel that only she could see and breathed a slight sigh of relief.

[Name]: Void Swift Crab

[Level]: Juvenile stage (maximum level is weak Kage level, referencing Danzo without Sharingan in his normal state!)

[Feeding Guidelines]: Omnivorous, loves all kinds of fruits...

(A defensive summon with extremely high resistance to all types of physical attacks; its speed increases by 300% when attacked!)

Kusaji told Konan about the general situation of the Void Swift Crab, and told her to pay more attention to the special training of the summoned beast so that it could be used in conjunction with her ninjutsu later!

Xiao Nan, looking obedient, didn't interrupt, nodding as she spoke earnestly.

"Understood, Brother Zhi, I will improve my ninjutsu in this direction!"

Yahiko's face turned bright red as he looked at the somewhat ugly-cute Swift Crab in Konan's arms, and he finally couldn't hold back.

"This ugly thing looks too weak. It's okay, Xiao Nan, watch me summon a powerful void beast to protect you!"

Kusashiba glared at Yahiko, who was lost in his daydream, and lightly patted the back of his head.

"Stop the pointless boasting, begin your gacha pull... Summoning Ritual!"

A familiar purple light flashed by, taking away the excitement from Yahiko's face. He stared in shock at the void creature that was less than half a meter tall beneath his feet.

His tone was full of disbelief and frustration.

"Uncle Zhi, are these three ugly insects what you call powerful void creatures?"

Seeing Yahiko poking at the Void Nest Worm's smooth skin with his hand, Kusashi felt a surge of anger.

"When there's trouble, it's Brother Zhi; when there's no trouble, it's Uncle Zhi, right?"

Kusashiba placed both hands on Yahiko's head and flicked him several times on the head. Seeing Yahiko fall to the ground in pain again, Kusashiba felt a great sense of relief.

"A brat like this will get out of control if you don't discipline him for three days. It's only when you take a beating that you feel satisfied. Yahiko is driving me crazy. Thank goodness I'm not an Uchiha..."

[Name]: Voidbrood

[Rank]: Juvenile Stage (Maximum Strength: Elite Jonin!)

[Feeding Guide]: Carnivorous diet can accelerate growth.

(Offensive-oriented; once fully developed, it can produce Void Worms to assist in attacking enemies. The worm swarm has a short lifespan, surviving only for 5 minutes!)

Kusa explained the characteristics of Voidbringer to Yahiko, then teleported away, leaving the two of them to figure out how to coordinate. They originally thought it would be Kha'Zix or Kog'Maw, but they didn't expect it to include neutral monsters as well. Fortunately, the potential of both is quite good!

Not far from the border of the Land of Grass, the young Kisame was hiding in a cave tending to his abdominal wound. His face had turned pale, and he let out a soft sigh.

Kisame then solemnly removed his headband and used a shuriken to draw a line across the Kirigakure symbol.

From this moment on, Kirigakure lost a Water Release genius, while Kusagakure gained a Kage-level powerhouse!

After treating his wounds, Kisame tidied up his various ninja tools and then strode into the border of the Land of Grass without any attempt to conceal himself.

After walking for a few minutes, we heard some movement coming from the woods.

"Ninjas from other countries are forbidden from entering the borders of the Land of Grass!"

"State your purpose and the ninja village you belong to!"

Kisame looked at the wary Grass Ninja and casually tossed his ninja tools at the Ninja's feet.

"I was invited here by your Kusakage. My name is Kisame!"

Soon, at the border's Kusanagi garrison, a small team of Genin brought Kisame into the camp after he was bound.

A warm voice rang out, and Wu Sheng, with a smile on his face, quickly stepped forward and reprimanded him.

"This is Lord Kusakage, a talent he has chosen. What are you three doing? Untie him!"

Wu Sheng enthusiastically put his arm around Kisame's shoulder, calling him "Shark Face Bro" with exceptional friendliness.

The moment the shadow clone of the grass tree dissipated, he notified Wusheng and Longshengcang, who were in charge of border security, to be aware of a boy named Kisame!

This is a prodigy from the Hidden Mist Sect!!!

Kisame's face flushed slightly. The lack of overly enthusiastic hospitality made him, accustomed to the ANBU's style of operation, feel somewhat uncomfortable...

Subsequently, Musō personally dispatched two Chunin squads and one special Jonin squad to escort Kisame back to the village.

As for Kisame's injuries, we can only wait until we return to the village to seek treatment from the Dragon Clan, as there are still too few medical ninjas in Kusagakure!

Soon, Kusaji warmly received Kisame and personally performed a healing spell to cure him.

Kisame moved his body, feeling the gentle chakra within him. His eyes were filled with shock as he looked at Kusanagi with his beady eyes and exclaimed in amazement.

"This form of healing ninjutsu, Lord Kusakage, is indeed unfathomable!"

"Hehe, no need to flatter me. Kisame, you don't have a place to stay yet, do you? Do you have any family members in Kirigakure that you need to bring over?"

Kisame's expression darkened, and he responded softly.

"My parents died in the war long ago. Thank you for your concern, Lord Kusagakure!"

Kisame suddenly paused, then continued speaking.

"I have no objection to joining Kusagakure, but there's one condition: I will not leak any information about Kirigakure, unless..."

Cao Zhi hurriedly waved his hands and crossed his arms over his chest.

"Kisame, remember the information about Kirigakure. In my heart, none of it is as valuable as you alone. Forget everything from the past. From now on, you are a ninja of the Land of Grass!"

Kisame felt somewhat lost and confused. He had initially thought that the other party was recruiting him only because they were interested in the intelligence about Kirigakure, since as an Anbu member, he had a lot of access to classified information!

Although he had already defected, he still had some lingering feelings. However, judging from the situation, the Shadow of the Grass Country was more magnanimous than he had imagined!

"Then thank you very much, Lord Kusakage!"

"When can the interrogation begin? I'm ready to cooperate..."

Cao Zhi looked completely bewildered.

"What kind of interrogation?"

"Are you really so comfortable with me, a member of the Hidden Mist Anbu, joining us? Aren't you worried that I might be a spy?"

Seeing this, Cao Zhi smiled and calmly patted the other person's shoulder.

"I thought it was something serious. It's just a small matter. I'm short a few shadow guards. You should rest in the village for a while and get familiar with the surroundings. I'll have the night watchman notify you when the time comes!"

Kisame's beady eyes suddenly widened, a hint of surprise and even confusion flashing through his mind.

The Shadow Guard, serving as the village chief's bodyguards, are mostly composed of people with impeccable revolutionary credentials, and most of them will take over the Shadow's position or a high-ranking position after the Shadow steps down!

It would be a lie to say I wasn't moved!

Kisame lingered in place for a long time before looking intently at Kusanagi.

"Thank you for your trust, Lord Kusagakure. I will do my best to protect you!"

Cao Zhi nodded with a smile, then clapped her hands lightly, and a person walked out from the corner.

"It's bound to be inconvenient for a teenager like you to live in the dormitory. From now on, you can live with Wuwei!"

"Their family is one of the largest in the village; their house is huge and spacious!"

Kisame looked at the long-haired boy with a displeased expression and a smirk appeared on his lips.

"Non-action, please give me your guidance!"

Wuwei pursed his lips, somewhat reluctant, but looking at the revered First Generation, he nodded earnestly and then extended his palm.

"Kisame, right? According to the village's terms, we're comrades now. Welcome to the team, Comrade Kisame!"

Hearing the strange address, Kisame felt a surge of excitement for some reason and reached out to shake hands with Wuwei.

"Comrade Wuwei...please give me your guidance!!!"
