That was more than 100 years ago.

Kawanokuni, in the middle of a hot spring lake

A mutated turtle was born in the hot spring lake, abandoned by his people because of its strange appearance.

It was indeed different from its race, and it grew incredibly fast, and within a few years he was the dominant power in the lake.

In retaliation, it expelled all of its former population from the lake.

However, within a few years of being the king of its hot spring lake, one day it was casually captured by a passing human.

He could still remember the man's red armor and goofy smile, and said to it:

"You're really similar to that guy with three tails. It's been a dull journey to the Land of Water, and if you bring it to him, that guy must be happy. ”

Then it was taken by the man and sent to a big guy. Even if it has grown to a height of several meters, it looks like a newborn toddler compared to that big thing.

Along the way, it became friends with the big guy, and also knew the big guy's name: Iso.

Together, they were sent to an extremely large lake. In that lake they had a new friend, a small fish.

Isotan takes good care of them, keeping them under their stomachs and not being harmed by other fish.

Whenever he finished hunting, he would divide the excess chakra between the two of them. The three of them spend a long time together having fun.

The taste of chakra intoxicated the two of them, and the two of them grew stronger and stronger under the nourishment of the chakra.

Its unusual growth rate was accelerated several times by the chakra feeding of Iso. It grew much faster than another small fish, and within a few years it was second only to the Isotain in that water.

The swelling of his size made him want to go out and see the outside world, and more importantly, as it grew, whenever he absorbed the excess chakra, there was always an irrepressible greed in his heart.

He fears that his greed will one day hurt his friends, so he keeps trying to leave the place on the pretext of looking at the outside world.

But Isotan always kept retaining, and Isotan told him: "The outside world is very dangerous, even if I wasn't sent here easily, wasn't it?" ”

After a few more years of struggle and suffering, the day things finally changed, and a squinting human came down to the lake with a large number of men.

They say that their shadow and the shadow of Iwakuin Village are all gone, and that if they want to protect the village, they must master the power of the Tailed Beast.

They first lured the small fish, caught the small fish ashore, and made the small fish into a large knife through secret arts, which was named shark muscle.

When the people came to the lake with seven knives, including shark muscles, Isotan saw the appearance of his companion, and the angry Isotan rushed out of the lake to recapture his companion.

Hiding beneath the surface of the water, he watched the massive amount of chakras that erupted during the battle between Isotan and humans. There is a constant alternation of greed and hesitation in the eyes.

The number of human beings is still too much, and the squinting eyes of the leader are extremely powerful.

Even though Isotan burst out with all his strength, he couldn't kill all the humans, and the wounds on his body were constantly increasing, and the squinting eye made a sneak attack at the critical moment, and with the tail that Isotan slapped on, he dug out one of Isotan's eyes with one blow.

A painful Isotan yelled and set off a raging wave, and Isoti lowered his head to the bottom of the lake for help, hoping that another of his friends would come out to help him.

However, Isotan's hopes were ultimately disappointed, and Isotan's companion who was hiding underwater looked at the eyeball that had fallen into the water, and his eyes were completely attracted by the eyeball that exuded a rich chakra, and the greed in his heart could no longer be suppressed.

Isotan's companion rushed out of the bottom of the lake at great speed, swallowed the eyeball into his stomach in one gulp, and then castrated unabated, knocking away the squinting eyes, knocking away a large area of humanity and running away into the distance, and finally lost his figure.

Iso's angry and sad wails were left behind by it, and at this moment, it was completely swallowed up by greed, and it couldn't remember the friendship it had before, he just wanted to find freedom with the power that intoxicated it.

Despicable, it left his best friend and fled to the endless sea.

And the best friend who lost his eyes fought off all the humans with serious injuries and anger, and sank to the bottom of the lake with his seriously injured body, facing an unknown fate.

The despicable it fled to the sea, and with the power of that eyeball, it became stronger step by step, becoming the overlord of the sea, and the huge water monster that people trembled and feared in their mouths.

However, the water monster is forever tormented by being a betrayer, and although it has gained great power, when the obsession with power subsides, only endless regret and torment are left in its heart.

Whenever he heard from the passing boats about the fishermen or the so-called ninjas about the power of the newly appointed Mizukage of the Misty Hidden Village, he would rush out of the water in a rage and swallow the boat.

But even if he did so, the pain and torment in his heart still could not be calmed down.

The water monster can only use time to soothe the pain in the hearts of the despicable, and the despicable will seal the memories of the past in the depths of memory.

Until the days were numbered, he did not dare to return to the lake and face his former best friend, for he felt that such a betrayal could never be erased.

Eventually, he chose to leave the sea and return to a small hot spring lake, to the place where he was born, and to end his vile and cowardly life.

"Wow"

Kimimaro poked his head out of the hot spring lake, took a greedy gulp of fresh air, and swam to the shore for a while.

First, he touched the side of his body with medical ninjutsu, and then took out the wet scroll, took out a large number of disinfection tools, and carefully treated all the wounds on his body.

After some searching, he finally found Kakashi who had fainted in the grass, and reached out to probe Kakashi's nose.

Fortunately, the water monster's tail was menacing when it was pumped over, but due to Rachel's action, his body was paralyzed for a moment. The tail that was slapped out was more than half lighter. Didn't let Kakashi die directly.

I felt that Kakashi was still breathing, even though he was already angry. Jun Maro exhaled deeply, the green fluorescence in his hand lit up, and the palm immortal technique was activated with all his might, helping Kakashi recover his body.

After a while, Kakashi woke up faintly, looked at Jun Maro in front of him and said a little stunned, "You're not dead yet?" Or have we met in Heaven? ”

Jun Maro twitched the corners of his mouth, and a hard-hitting Kakashi grinned on the hand that had performed the Palm Immortal Technique.

Kakashi also came back to his senses and asked tentatively, "What happened to the water monster?" ”

Junmaro pointed to the hot spring lake that had turned light red not far away, and didn't say much.

Picking up Kakashi, he said, "Let's go, I've been injured so much for this mission, I have to let the Daimyo of Kawanokuni entertain us well, and then go back to Konoha after half a month." ”

Kimimaro, who was supporting Kakashi, didn't take a few steps, looked back at the light red lake at sunset, pursed his lips a few times, and finally didn't say anything, helping Kakashi to disappear into the jungle.
