Kisame had never been one of those people who actively hoped that terrible things would happen to him. Even knowing that he might meet his soulmate as a result wasn 't enough for him to wish for something to worsen his already shitty life.

Living in Kirigakure wasn 't easy for anyone, civilian or shinobi, and both classes tended to think they had it the worst. Civilians didn 't spend their formative years burdened by the knowledge that all the friends they ever made would be dead before adulthood, though, and so Kisame felt like they had less to complain about. Born and bred to be a ruthless killer, it wasn 't the deaths that marked the worst day of Kisame 's life ' although there were indeed plenty.
