The Hidden Mist Blacksmith, forging the glory of the Ninja Sword Style!

But in fact, they do look somewhat alike.

Otherwise, Zhanlong wouldn't have called him that way. After all, Zhanlong didn't even know Sarutobi Shinnosuke's identity; he only knew based on his observation of Sarutobi Shinnosuke's current appearance.

Because of his self-restraint, Sarutobi Shinnosuke didn't say anything.

However, the other Konoha ninjas couldn't hold back any longer and started cursing at Zhanlong.

"unacceptable!"

"A Zanpakuto that is shameless to the extreme."

"How dare you insult Shinnosuke-sama! This is unforgivable."

"That's tantamount to insulting the Hokage."

Compared to slaying dragons, Sarutobi Shinnosuke cares more about the ability to slay dragons.

"It absorbed all of my Phoenix Fire Technique in almost an instant."

"It seems that Fire Release techniques are no longer a threat to Kisame Hoshigaki."

Chapter 163 Danzo Shimura, you've already broken through your defenses!

"Then try this."

"Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet Technique!"

Sarutobi Shinnosuke performed hand seals again.

An earthen dragon formed from a lump of soil has a more realistic feel compared to a water dragon.

However, it differs from water cannons in some ways.

The earth dragon opened its huge mouth.

A powerful stream of mud shot towards Kisame Hoshigaki.

Kisame Hoshigaki still raised the sword of wisdom.

"Bah bah bah!"

"Little black monkey, you're not strong enough, so you resort to underhanded tactics, are you?"

"You want to disgust me like this?"

"It's so ugly and disgusting, it's like a ninjutsu that looks like you're defecating. I really don't know how you could use it."

"Today, I'll make you pay!"

Zhanlong cursed loudly, but the speed at which he absorbed chakra did not slow down.

Sarutobi Shinnosuke's expression darkened slightly.

"Just like the fire jutsu from before, it was absorbed before it posed any threat."

"This absorption efficiency is much faster than Samehada from the Seven Ninja Swords of the Mist."

Sarutobi Shinnosuke's eyes flickered.

“It’s very difficult to deal with.”

"This Zanpakuto's ability is very troublesome."

"Kisame Hoshigaki is also a very difficult opponent to deal with."

"There are two ways."

"Or, increase the intensity of the ninjutsu so that the Zanpakuto can't absorb it."

"Or, adopt a close-quarters combat style."

"but"

Sarutobi Shinnosuke looked around.

"Given the current situation, it seems inappropriate to make a choice; rather, we should use both at the same time."

"We can't let Kisame Hoshigaki regain his momentum."

"We cannot allow Kisame Hoshigaki to become the number one among the younger generation again."

"I can't let Kisame Hoshigaki gain too much battle experience from me."

"Kakashi, you're almost fully recovered."

Shinnosuke Sarutobi never considered the possibility of losing.

In Sarutobi Shinnosuke's view, even if Kisame Hoshigaki obtained a new Zanpakuto, his own strength would definitely be superior to Kisame's, and that was beyond doubt.

Shinnosuke Sarutobi didn't want Kisame Hoshigaki to have too much practical combat experience.

I don't want Kisame Hoshigaki to get better control over the new Zanpakuto.

That would make things more difficult for Kakashi, who has recovered and is heading back to the battlefield.

Therefore, Shinnosuke Sarutobi decided to end the battle quickly.

"Psychic art!"

Sarutobi Shinnosuke bit his finger, drawing blood.

The next moment, a monkey appeared next to Sarutobi Shinnosuke.

One, a young ape demon.

"Shinnosuke."

"Ape Demon, please."

The Monkey King nodded and charged directly at Kisame Hoshigaki.

At the same time, Sarutobi Shinnosuke quickly formed hand seals.

"Fire Release: Fire Dragon Bullet Technique!"

"Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet Technique!"

"Water escape, water dragon bullet technique!"

"Wind Release: Vacuum Jewel Technique!"

He used four different types of ninjutsu in succession.

one after another.

It is not fully integrated, but there are already faint signs of fusion.

Shinnosuke Sarutobi can be considered to have perfectly inherited Hiruzen Sarutobi's fighting style. He is proficient in various attribute ninjutsu and follows the path of fusion ninjutsu.

Of course, the current Sarutobi Shinnosuke is not as good as Sarutobi Hiruzen.

In terms of Lightning Release, Sarutobi Shinnosuke is considerably weaker.

Moreover, the degree of integration of ninjutsu is much lower than that of Hiruzen Sarutobi.

However, even at this level, it is already capable of creating a rather exaggerated attack.

The scale and momentum were extremely grand.

The Konoha ninjas wore expressions of pride.

"This is Shinnosuke-sama!"

"too strong."

"Can Kisame Hoshigaki really absorb such a ninjutsu?"

"I don't believe it anymore."

"Suffer to death!"

Before Sarutobi Shinnosuke's ninjutsu arrived, Enma had already reached Kisame Hoshigaki.

He clenched one hand into a fist and blasted it towards Kisame Hoshigaki.

Kisame Hoshigaki raised his hand and slashed.

"Ding!"

The fist and the knife touched.

"hiss!"

The ape demon couldn't help but gasp.

"This knife is so hard!"

The ape demon couldn't help but look down at his fist.

You know your own situation best.

As members of the Ape Demon clan, they hone their bodies day and night. While the fists of an Ape Demon may not be as strong as those of the old Ape Demon contracted by Hiruzen Sarutobi, they are still comparable to steel.

But just now, the ape demon actually felt a stinging pain.

This is enough to demonstrate the hardness and sharpness of the sword of wisdom.

"You scruffy monkey, if you dare to touch me with your fist, I'll respect you as an idiot."

"Come again."

The ape demon dared not come again.

However, they did not retreat.

Instead, it was holding Kisame Hoshigaki back.

The goal is not to defeat Kisame Hoshigaki, but to ensure that Shinnosuke Sarutobi's attacks hit their mark.

Kisame Hoshigaki cannot leave.

Finally, Shinnosuke Sarutobi's ninjutsu arrived.

The four different elemental attacks were partially fused together, unleashing a power far greater than that of a single ninjutsu.

There's also a lot more chakra on it.
