Konoha: Tsunade, I am the Hokage

Chapter 56 The genius of Konoha is awe-inspiring!

Mei Terumi was ganged up on, but on the other side, Kisame Hoshigaki and Mangetsu Hozuki were not having an easy time either.

They have only one enemy.

however.

This one person alone was enough to keep Kisame and Hozuki Mangetsu on their toes.

At this moment, the fog has spread to more places.

This method consumes a lot of chakra, but Kisame had no choice but to do it.

Without expending chakra, Kyohiko's terrifying "clones" are simply impossible to withstand.

The Fog Concealment technique is at least effective.

The two concealed their chakra, their presence, and their footsteps.

Hozuki Mangetsu pointed his finger at the area where Kyohiko was located, making a "gun" shape with his fingers.

Whoosh whoosh!

A faint whooshing sound rang out in the mist, and Kyohiko instantly discerned it—

Hozuki Mangetsu is on his right.

He quickly dodged it.

None of the water bullets hit their target!

at the same time.

From the left, the sound of someone jumping up could be heard.

Jingyan vanished from the spot in an instant.

Kisame leaped into the air, spewing water from his mouth, creating rolling waves that surged downwards.

Water Release: Exploding Water Wave!

however.

Before the ninjutsu could take shape, he sensed that Kyohiko had already leaped up.

The next moment, three figures came into view from the thick fog.

Only one of the three is true!

Kisame plunged into the water, trying to escape quickly with the help of the current, but in the next instant, a terrifying impact suddenly came from below.

How...

possible?

His mind went blank. The raging water was terrifying. His throat suddenly tasted fishy and sweet, and his face turned deathly pale.

But Kisame's hands moved swiftly; he immediately bit his finger, and a shark emerged from the water.

This is their clan's psychic contract, which allows them to summon sharks to aid them.

The remaining force caused the shark to explode, staining the area red with blood.

Bang!

Using the force of the water flow, Kyohiko stepped onto the top and kicked Kisame diagonally downwards towards Gai.

Kisame tasted a metallic sweetness in his throat, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.

The opponent was able to decipher the secrets of the Hidden Mist Technique, concealing themselves within the mist and allowing for the exploration of chakra.

How could this happen?

Kisame regretted it.

He originally thought that, based on his previous performance, Kyohiko was only strong in taijutsu and that he could suppress him with ninjutsu.

In fact, this guy has become much stronger!

In addition, Kyohiko is adept at using ninjutsu and the convenience of his environment to create a psychological advantage for himself.

For example, this time.

Who would have thought that a Konoha ninja would know how to use the Hidden Mist Technique to conceal himself?

Isn't this a power from Kirigakure?

But this guy...

From the very beginning, he concealed this ability, hiding himself in the fog and becoming a true "invisible man," which dealt him a fatal blow.

Kisame watched anxiously as the kunai, shuriken, and explosive tags flew towards him, and the figure leaped up again.

He formed hand seals, hoping to stop the enemy with ninjutsu, but then a jet of water shot out from Kyohiko's mouth.

The water is turbulent!

It wasn't very powerful, but it was enough to accelerate the push of him outwards.

Below, the strangely dressed beast and another female ninja immediately surrounded and attacked him—

Three kunai carrying explosive tags shot from different angles.

At the same time, when he involuntarily looked towards the direction from which the hidden weapon came, he also saw Kurenai Yuhi forming a hand seal.

In an instant, the other person's figure vanished, and a flurry of cherry blossoms danced in the air.

Illusion?

Finished!

Kisame Hoshigaki sensed the despair that Mei Terumi had felt before.

Right now, all he can do is wait.

Waiting for the full moon, or...

Mei Terumi?

He glanced at it, and his expectations for Mei lost all.

At this moment, Mei Terumi, finally able to catch her breath from the relentless onslaught, had no time to rejoice, because—

Jingyan charged at her with a knife at lightning speed!

The four figures were indistinguishable from each other, and in the blink of an eye, they attacked from four directions.

Terumi Mei quickly formed hand seals.

Immediately, she exhaled a puff of mist.

The special fog scorched and distorted the air.

however.

The four figures in front of me quickly disappeared into the mist.

They are ordinary clone techniques.

Terumi Mei became increasingly vigilant. She dared not relax and immediately changed her hand seals, spitting out water from her mouth to form a water prison, protecting herself within it.

Just when Kisame and Mei Terumi were facing a desperate situation.

A giant water-man stood up.

Hozuki Mangetsu absorbed the water flow from the Exploding Water Wave, refined a large amount of chakra, and transformed into a giant water-man, grabbing one teammate with each hand, and then—

The giant water figure collapsed rapidly.

Huge waves rolled in, carrying the three of them down the mountain.

Hozuki Mangetsu has taken his people and run away!

Jingyan leaned against the tree, catching his breath, and quickly fed himself a soldier's ration pill.

Kai landed beside him, sighed as he gazed at the water, and then looked at Jingyan.

"Do you need a rest?"

"No need, the energy expenditure isn't too great. We can rest as we travel, Red..."

Jingyan looked at Yuhi Kurenai.

Soon.

"They ran in the direction of number 3."

"Chase!"

……

"They ran away! Whew—"

Kisame Hoshigaki's forehead was covered in a mixture of cold sweat and water.

He got up and looked to the side, only to see Hozuki Mangetsu lying on the ground, seemingly unconscious.

Mei Terumi was using chakra to dry her clothes.

That's horrible!

Kisame Hoshigaki remained silent.

It's different from before.

Kisame only felt that he had been careless when he was defeated last time, and he was not afraid of fighting a real battle.

This time, however, he couldn't find an excuse and was completely defeated.

"Let's go up, I'll lead the way."

"what?"

Kisame was stunned for a moment, then quickly came to his senses, put away his dazed expression, and said, "Then I'll carry him on my back."

This battle was truly humiliating and shameful!

If it weren't for Hozuki Mangetsu, he and Terumi Mei might not have been able to return, and it was he who insisted on it.

What should we do if we encounter such an incredibly fast enemy?

Kisame fell into deep thought.

After thinking for a while, he had an idea in his mind—

Although Kyohiko is strong, he still leans towards physical combat. As long as he can master the Great Explosive Water Wave, he will not have difficulty defeating his enemies by taking advantage of Kirigakure's naval warfare prowess.

However, he hasn't mastered this ninjutsu yet, and his chakra reserves are insufficient to support it.

but.

This battle also woke him up.

The methods of restraint I had devised were all ineffective against Kamijou, so I needed to come up with a new way to deal with him.

"Let's go."

Kisame gritted his teeth, got up, carried the unconscious Hozuki Mangetsu on his back, and followed behind Terumi Mei.

This time they behaved themselves and rushed straight towards the mountaintop, even avoiding other teams.

In the shadows, the two Jonin from Yugakure exchanged bewildered glances.

They heard the commotion and rushed over.

I initially thought it was a small team eliminated by the Hidden Mist Ninja, and I wanted to see if there was any hope for them, but then—

Unexpectedly, it was Kirigakure's most elite squad that was defeated, and the Hozuki clan member even lost his chakra and fainted.

What kind of enemy could you fight like this against?

"The one from Konoha?"

Aside from the ninjas of Konoha, they couldn't think of any other major enemies around Entrance 1.

"For the Hozuki clan to escape like this, the enemy's strength must be terrifying. The next generation of Konoha is truly awe-inspiring!"

The Jonin of Yugakure sighed.

Konoha produces terrifying geniuses in every generation. Even if a few die unexpectedly, they can quickly recover and cultivate the next generation of genius ninjas.

Small ninja villages like theirs wouldn't dare to be enemies with Konoha.
