Chapter 205 Gaara, defeated!

Kisame looked very serious at this moment.

He couldn't help but take the One-Tailed Jinchuriki seriously.

Furthermore, the combat environment was in the desert.

Kisame understood that once he got into a tug-of-war with the other side, even he, who was known as the tailless tailed beast, would not be able to outlast the one-tailed jinchūriki.

With this in mind, Kisame immediately decided to end the battle quickly.

"Water Release: Big Explosive Water Wave"

Kisame opened his mouth wide, and a massive amount of water began to gush out.

Gaara merely frowned slightly upon seeing this, without immediately widening the distance between himself and Kisame.

He wanted to see what this shark-faced guy was up to.

Using water escape in desert areas?

Do you think you're the Second Hokage?

However, as Kisame's output increased, Gaara instinctively sensed a hint of danger.

With a light tap of his right foot on the ground, Gaara began to jump backward.

Seeing that Gaara wanted to create distance, Kisame, who had been "slowly" spitting water, immediately unleashed his chakra and rapidly increased the amount of water he was spitting.

In the blink of an eye, a huge oval-shaped water prison formed by water appeared in the desert.

Gaara, who jumped backward to retreat, never expected Kisame's water output to be so large and so fast.

A moment's hesitation led to his being trapped in this enormous water prison.

"Hehehe, the Jinchuriki is in the water, that makes things easier."

Since they had agreed to a quick victory, Kisame had no intention of holding back.

He picked up Samehada again and began to fuse with it.

A moment later, a mutated shark with a narrower head, long fins on its hands, and a tail appeared in Gaara's sight.

"Let the hunt begin!"

Gaara was in great pain at this moment.

As the jinchūriki of Shukaku, the One-Tailed Beast, his main ability is sand control.

The surrounding yellow sand was originally his best battlefield.

But Kisame doesn't play by the rules.

With a single water escape technique, the surrounding combat environment was immediately altered.

Gaara went from being on the winning side to being on the losing side.

What devastated Gaara the most was that, while trapped in the water prison, he was not only unable to speak, but his sand manipulation technique also became extremely difficult to control because it was all water.

That's right, it's difficult to control, not impossible to control.

The amount of chakra he needs to expend to control sand in the water is completely different from the amount he needs to expend on flat ground.

If controlling sand on flat ground requires only 3 chakra and in the desert it requires 1, then controlling sand in water would require 50 chakra.

It's less about controlling the sand and more about manipulating the "soil" mixed with water.

"This is bad."

Kisame, transformed into a shark monster, was completely at ease in the water.

He hovered around Gaara at lightning speed, forcing Gaara to expend a large amount of chakra to manipulate "earth" for defense.

As the saying goes, prolonged defense inevitably leads to loss.

Kisame's repeated defensive maneuvers allowed him to gauge the speed and intensity of "Muddy's" defense.

Knowing this, Kisame seized an opportunity and delivered a ruthless blow to Gaara.

If Gaara hadn't had his Sand Armor, that attack would have been enough to seriously injure him.

"There's no other way. Although I'm very reluctant, you have to do it."

"Tch~ I should have been here a long time ago."

Since the Chunin Exams, Gaara and Shukaku's relationship has improved slightly.

When they have free time, the two of them will also have some conversations.

Before they knew it, the human and the beast had developed a slight friendship.

Of course, Gaara would never have let Shukaku out unless the situation was extremely dire.

But there's no other way.

"The Art of Feigning Sleep"

With his eyes closed, Gaara had already entered a deep sleep.

As he began to fall asleep, a powerful aura still exploded from his body.

Just like a summoning technique, Shukaku's body instantly appeared in Kisame's eyes.

"Hahaha, I'm finally out!"

"You hideous shark monster, just obediently let me kill you!"

Shukaku's body was enormous; Kisame's massive oval-shaped water prison could not completely cover it.

"You ugly, fat bastard, who gave you the confidence to call me ugly?"

"Among us sharks, I'm a real heartthrob!"

Shukaku's appearance didn't make Kisame feel troubled; he just found it a bit of a nuisance and even took the time to retort to Shukaku.

He just didn't expect Gaara to be so decisive.

Seeing that the situation was not good, he began to summon Shukaku.

Fortunately, this move is different from the normal tailed beast transformation.

Kisame knew that all he needed to do was wake Gaara up again.

In order to successfully capture the One-Tailed Beast, Black Zetsu shared a lot of information with Kisame.

All he needs to do is replicate what Naruto did to Gaara during the Chunin Exams.

"Thousands of Sharks"

In the blink of an eye, Kisame summoned a thousand man-eating sharks to distract Shukaku.

He himself used a transformation technique, turning into an ordinary shark and blending in with the Thousand-Eating Shark.

He wanted to find an opportunity to appear above Shukaku's head and wake up Gaara, who was fast asleep.

"So many small fish."

With a wave of his hand, Shukaku unleashed dozens of sand arrows that began to attack the shark swarm.

His sand control technique is fundamentally different from Gaara's.

In the water dungeon, Gaara could only control "mud".

This work was compiled and uploaded by [author's name].

However, Shukaku can form a thin film of chakra on the surface of the sand to isolate water.

"Hahaha, having a lot of small fry is useless."

Shukaku drew his bow with both hands, and the number of sand arrows appearing increased.

Of the thousands of sharks, more than a hundred died in the blink of an eye.

If Kisame doesn't come up with a solution, it will only take Shukaku a short while to kill the remaining eight hundred-plus sharks.

Kisame, however, didn't care. In the end, these sharks were just summoned by him to buy time and attract Shukaku's attention.

At this moment, having transformed into an ordinary shark, he had unknowingly swum to the very top of the water prison. With just one leap, he could reach the top of Shukaku's head.

"Hahaha~ I knew there was something fishy about you, you little nobody."

Seeing Kisame transform back into the shark monster and leap into the air, Shukaku immediately launched an attack.

He had actually noticed something was off about the fish a while ago.

All the other fish were lining up to be killed by him, but this one, instead of coming to its death, kept swimming upwards.

That would be strange.

"Wind Release: Practice Air Bullet"

Kisame, bursting out of the water dragon and leaping through the air, had absolutely no chance to dodge.

He could only hold his hands across his chest to withstand the blow.

"Snap!"

With a loud bang, the training bullet successfully hit Kisame, who was about to reach Shukaku's head, but then fell back into the water.

"Hahaha, you think you can wake up my host? How naive."

"Yeah?"

Shukaku, who was initially excited about having a lot of fun this time, immediately narrowed his eyes upon hearing the voice beside him.

At the same time, he felt that there was another person on his head.

"Impossible, I've already thrown you back into the water."

"Then take another look and see what fell back into the water."

Shukaku obediently looked into the water.

To his surprise, what fell back into the water was not Kisame at all, but Samehada, which had transformed into Kisame.

"I knew all along that using the Thousand-Eating Shark to attract your attention was too straightforward, and you definitely wouldn't fall for it. I even thought of three backup plans, but I didn't expect you to fall for the simplest one."

"I refuse to accept this. You cheated. Let's start over."

"If you're not convinced, there's nothing I can do. I'm not stupid; I'll give you a second chance."

At this point, Kisame had already raised his fist and was about to smash it down on Gaara, who had appeared on Shukaku's forehead.

"You've had enough fun; now get back!"

"No~ I finally managed to get out!"

"Bang!"

Kisame ignored Shukaku, picked up his fist, which was the size of a sandbag, and slammed it hard into Gaara's face.

At this point, the One-Tailed Jinchuriki was awakened, and Shukaku returned to Gaara's body.

"All done, that's it!"

"Whoosh~"

Black Zetsu arrived just in time to Gaara, pressing his hand against his chest, knocking him unconscious and temporarily severing his connection with Shukaku.

"Alright, take him back to Amegakure."

"And what about you?"

"I still need to go to Sunagakure to extract the One-Tailed Beast's chakra and buy enough time for us."

"Alright then, be careful."

"Um."

Hearing Kisame's words of concern, Black Zetsu suddenly felt that this guy wasn't so bad after all.

Just as Black Zetsu was thinking that he could spare Kisame's life after rescuing his mother, he saw Kisame, who was already dressed, carrying Gaara and heading towards the Land of Rain, say something.

"Time to go home and pick cotton!"

"Kisame, you fucking bastard!"
