Naruto: Transmigrated as Obito with the System

Chapter 146: Chapter 146: Kisame and Shisui's Breaking Point



Mizukage's Office.

Mei Terumi sat at her desk, her gaze sweeping across the room.

No matter how much she looked, she couldn't shake the surreal feeling.

Just days ago, she was a rogue ninja of Kirigakure.

Now, she had ascended to the position of Fifth Mizukage.

The transformation in her status felt like something out of a dream.

Standing nearby, Obito chuckled and teased her.

"How does it feel, Mizukage-sama?"

Mei glanced at him, her expression cold and indifferent.

"Do you need something?"

"(⊙o⊙)… Uh."

This woman is so cold...

Obito scratched his messy hair awkwardly.

"Well, I came to ask for someone."

Mei's tone remained icy. "Who?"

"Kisame Hoshigaki," Obito said. "I need him for something."

Mei raised an eyebrow at that.

"Kisame Hoshigaki? You might not be able to handle him."

Obito smiled.

"That's why I also need one other thing from you—the head of Suikazan Fuguki."

Mei studied him thoughtfully, her expression calm.

"So that's your angle..."

Obito shrugged.

"He's already guilty of treason for selling intel to neighboring countries. Better to let me put him to good use."

Mei nodded slightly.

"Do as you wish. I'll clean up afterward."

"Much appreciated," Obito replied with a grin.

...

Ten Minutes Later.

A man with deep blue hair and shark-like features strode into the Mizukage's office.

His azure skin, sharp teeth, and golden eyes marked him unmistakably as Kisame Hoshigaki—the man known as the "tailless tailed beast."

Kisame's voice carried a hint of confusion.

"Mizukage-sama, you called for me?"

He didn't understand why the newly-appointed Mizukage wanted to see him alone, nor why the strange man in the bizarre white mask was standing at her side.

Is this guy sick or something? Wearing a cloak and mask in this heat...

Mei crossed her legs, causing Obito to momentarily lose his composure.

After shifting to a more comfortable position, she sighed contentedly and gestured toward Obito.

"Not me. This guy has business with you. He's… let's call him a friend."

"Oh?"

Kisame turned his amused gaze to Obito.

"And what does you want with me?"

Obito spoke slowly, his tone deliberate.

"The Third Mizukage vanished suddenly. The Fourth Mizukage's behavior changed drastically. Now the Fifth Mizukage takes charge in a time of crisis. Do you know the common thread between these events?"

Kisame's sharp teeth glinted as he grinned.

"I've heard some rumors. They say the previous two Mizukage were under someone's control."

Obito nodded.

"Exactly."

Kisame chuckled darkly.

"As I thought. The world is full of lies."

Obito smirked.

"Indeed. Just like how you killed all your comrades to protect intel, only to find out that your superior, Fuguki, was selling village secrets to other nations."

Kisame's eyes flickered, his tone layered with complex emotions.

"You know quite a lot, don't you?"

Obito removed his mask, his gaze piercing as he spoke meaningfully.

"If you think everything in this world is a lie, let me guide you to the truth."

Kisame glanced at Mei, who remained silent, then turned back to Obito with a smirk.

"Oh? And how exactly do you plan to do that?"

Obito snapped his fingers.

"It's simple. Follow me and keep cutting down enemies. But from now on, your blade will never fall on comrades. Every strike you make will be to protect others."

"Those who threaten Kirigakure still lurk in the shadows, biding their time. Join me, and together, we'll cut through the lies of this world."

(Mei scoffed quietly from the side.)

Hah... Men and their tongues.

Kisame fell silent, his expression contemplative.

"Cut through the lies of this world, huh…"

Obito nodded.

"Exactly. And the first target is Suikazan Fuguki. I hear he has a fine blade that would suit you well."

Kisame turned to Mei again.

She gave a begrudging nod, clearly displeased.

"If you want to go with him, then do as he says. Hmph!"

Taking my village's sword to win favor? Disgusting.

Kisame's grin widened into what he probably thought was a kind smile.

"Very well. I will follow you. Please wait a moment."

With that, he left the office.

Obito knew Kisame was off to deal with a mini-boss.

If all went well, they might even get some elite loot out of it.

After Kisame left, Mei turned her cold gaze to Obito.

"Happy now? If you're done, leave."

Obito scratched his nose awkwardly.

He couldn't figure out how he had offended her so badly.

"When Kisame's done, I'll take him and leave Kirigakure. The rest is up to you."

"Just make sure you and Shisui stick together. Don't give the enemy any openings."

Mei nodded slightly, her sharp eyes cutting toward the door, clearly signaling it was time for him to leave.

Obito raised his hands in mock surrender as he exited the office.

"Fine, fine, I'm going."

...

Later That Night.

Shisui entered the room silently, his presence nearly undetectable.

He stood quietly to the side, watching Mei handle her work.

As night fell, Mei stretched lazily and looked at Shisui.

"Let's go."

"Alright."

The two left the Mizukage Tower together.

Mei led him to a small house, opening the door and stepping inside.

When she noticed Shisui hesitating at the threshold, she raised an eyebrow.

"…Come in."

"…Oh."

Once inside, Mei removed her shoes casually.

"You can stay in the living room for now. I'll have someone bring a bed in a few days."

Shisui remained silent.

Mei frowned.

"What? Does that bother you?"

"N-No… It's just…"

Are we really living together?!

Shisui's mind raced, especially as Mei slowly removed her stockings, her back to him.

He felt his nose almost start to bleed.

Help me! I don't want to live like this!

When Mei turned around and saw his flushed face and nervous demeanor, her expression grew amused.

"Are you embarrassed?"

Shisui ducked his head, too mortified to respond.

Mei's lips curved into a sly smile.

"You really are nothing like your cousin…"
