Mizukage's Pokémon Ninja Scroll

Chapter 548 Zabuza's Dumbfounded

Those two punches from Jianchuan Ju were quite forceful.

As the most outstanding medical ninja in the ninja world, figuring out how to fight without making someone stupid while still getting a huge bump on their head is a piece of cake for Tachibana Kenkawa.

Zabuza cried out in pain and immediately squatted down, clutching his head.

However, he still complained with some resentment.

"Mei is laughing too! Why are you only attacking me?!"

Seeing that Zabuza still dared to talk back, Tachibana Kenkawa punched him again, making his Sage Mode even more complete, before finally speaking.

"Mei's current chakra reserves are insufficient, so it's normal that he can't train effectively. What about you? You're wasting the tailed beast within you!"

Hehe~

When Mei Terumi heard Tachibana Kanagawa making excuses for herself, she grinned and stuck out her tongue at Zabuza, who was lying on his head with his hands clasped in his hands.

However, this is indeed the case.

Naturally, Tachibana Kanakawa wouldn't keep the cultivation method for something as good as Sage Mode a secret from his two old teammates.

Anyway, whether Xiao Ji's "Fairy Wind" blows on one person or three people, it's still the same thing.

Tachibana Kenkawa certainly wouldn't mind teaching the others as well while teaching Kisame Hoshigaki.

Even Qing, when her daily work isn't too busy, would occasionally come along to practice in Sage Mode.

However, although Mei Terumi has good talent, her chakra reserves are indeed much higher than those of her peers.

But given his age and the fact that he doesn't have any special physical constitution or Jinchūriki status, his chakra reserves are barely enough to reach the minimum threshold for learning Sage Mode.

In actual practice, the difficulty far exceeded that of the others.

Of course, Zabuza also encountered some difficulties in learning Sage Mode.

While the "Zero Three-Tails" within Zabuza provided him with ample chakra reserves, its inherently violent nature also increased the difficulty of training in Sage Mode, which requires calm and peaceful coordinating of chakra and natural energy, several times over.

His progress in cultivation might not even be as good as Qing's, who is a busy person who only works sporadically.

But who can blame them when Zabuza is the one who's more comfortable to hit?

Anyway, since Jianchuan Ju has been beating her since she was a child, Jianchuan Ju doesn't feel any psychological burden when she throws a few punches.

Ignoring Zabuza, who was still lying on the ground pretending to be dead, Tachibana turned her head again to look at Kisame Hoshigaki, who was curiously touching the horns on his head.

"Now that Sage Mode has been successfully activated, let's test its power first, so we don't have to re-enter it when it ends."

Unlike Tachibana Kanagawa, Tachibana Kanagawa's "Water Release: Sage Mode" relies on the "Origin Sea" characteristic.

Not only can the Immortal Mode be opened and entered instantly, but it also comes with complete control over natural energy.

The natural energy of the surrounding environment is constantly merging with the chakra within the body, thus generating Sage Chakra.

As long as Tachibana Kanagawa doesn't waste all her chakra, she won't be forced to exit Sage Mode.

Furthermore, Kirigakure lacks the support of Fukasaku and Shima from Mount Myōboku to help absorb natural energy and convert it into Sage Chakra.

Kisame Hoshigaki's ordinary "Sage Mode" can only be maintained for about five minutes, which is already his limit.

Furthermore, since Kisame Hoshigaki has only just mastered Sage Mode, he needs to "meditate" for a period of time each time he enters it to successfully activate it.

Therefore, Tachibana Kanagawa is still preparing to have Kisame Hoshigaki conduct the tests as soon as possible.

As for the issue of entering Sage Mode and maintaining it for a certain duration in actual combat, Naruto Uzumaki has already provided a good solution in the original work.

Shadow clones are a common ninjutsu, and Kirigakure (Hidden Mist Village) does have them too.

It's just that we're only cultivating right now, so there's no need to make things so complicated.

Fortunately, Kisame Hoshigaki is a pragmatist who doesn't care much about the aesthetics of his moves.

Upon hearing Jianchuan Ju's request, he, who had been eager to do so, immediately and decisively began the test.

"boom--"

Watching the earth tremble and the dense forest that was flattened and disappeared after the "Flounder*Liberation" was released, one could see the 'Flounder*Liberation'.

Even Zabuza and Mei Terumi, who had just found Kisame's Sage Mode somewhat amusing, were now completely dumbfounded.

Keep in mind that forty meters is roughly the height of a ten-story building.

There aren't many buildings of this height in Kirigakure these days.

In comparison, Kisame Hoshigaki, who is only 1.9 meters tall, looks like a mouse wielding an elephant, exuding an indescribable sense of violence.

"Is this the power of Sage Mode??"

Feeling the vibrations beneath his feet and hearing the buzzing in his ears, Zabuza couldn't help but swallow hard.

Ao, the true Jinchūriki of the Three-Tails, even in his complete Tailed Beast form, the Three-Tails lying down was only about forty meters tall.

Zabuza, that imposter, is several sizes smaller than the real Three-Tails.

If Kisame Hoshigaki were to strike him with that hammer, he'd probably be smashed into a tiny pancake.

"Not only is the scale of the attacks released greatly enhanced, but in Sage Mode, physical strength is also greatly increased."

Seeing Zabuza secretly swallowing his saliva, Tachibana Kanagawa secretly added another blow to him from the side.

Kisame Hoshigaki, who was in the distance, probably overheard what Tachibana Kenkawa had said.

He simply retracted the flounder behind his back, then instantly appeared in front of a giant rock.

Make a fist with your right hand and gather your strength slightly.

Then he suddenly threw a punch.

"Boom~~"

A punch was thrown out like a cannonball.

The boulder, several times taller than Kisame Hoshigaki, instantly formed a spiderweb-like indentation.

Immediately afterward, before the spiderweb-like cracks could spread rapidly in all directions, the boulder exploded with a deafening roar, raising clouds of dust.

Seeing this, Jianchuan Ju nodded slightly.

Kisame Hoshigaki, the "shiny mutant" of the Hoshigaki clan, already possessed brute strength far exceeding that of ordinary people.

Now that Sage Mode is activated, his power has been amplified once again. Even if it's not as strong as the 'monstrous strength' that Tsunade's ninjutsu brings, it's probably not far off.

"What a pity, Kisame doesn't have the talent for medical ninjas. Otherwise, if I taught him monstrous strength, tsk tsk tsk~ I don't even want to think about it."

After seeing that both the flounder and strength enhancements had been tested and completed.

Tachibana Kanagawa waved and called out to Kisame Hoshigaki, who was still standing there staring blankly at his fist.

"Hey~ Kisame, don't just stand there, try your ninjutsu again."

Immersed in the shock of his own Sage Mode, Kisame Hoshigaki looked up at Tachibana Nagakawa with a somewhat blank expression upon hearing this.

However, her hands were very obedient, and she reflexively began to form hand seals at lightning speed.

Subsequently

"Sage Art: Great Shark Bullet Technique!"

A massive amount of water instantly condensed, transforming in the blink of an eye into an enormous chakra shark, roaring towards...

He lunged towards the direction where Zabuza was.
