Naruto: From Shikotsumyaku to Otsutsuki

Kisame Hoshigaki is gone.

Kisame Hoshigaki is back.

In just five or six minutes, he appeared beside Kaguya Kazama in an instant, his face bearing newly appeared wounds, panting heavily as he said, "Hurry, the people from Konoha are catching up."

Kaguya Kazama, having already activated her Byakugan, saw the approaching Konoha ninja and couldn't help but tease, "Kisame-sensei, a man being fast isn't always a good thing."

"roll."

Kisame Hoshigaki's face darkened as he ran deeper into the Forest of Death, saying:

"You know I can't succeed, right? All that talk you gave me was just to get me to test Uchiha Shisui's remaining strength and Konoha's support?"

"I didn't, don't talk nonsense."

Kaguya Kazama is planning to take advantage of Kisame Hoshigaki next, so of course she can't take the blame for this.

He flew alongside Kisame Hoshigaki, arguing, "I have no mission. With my abilities, I can't defeat Uchiha Shisui. Whether you intervene or not is none of my business, but if you miss this golden opportunity, the Mangekyou Sharingan will truly be something you can't obtain."

"I've said all that, but it's all for your own good, Kisame-sensei."

"Bullshit."

Kisame Hoshigaki rolled his eyes. Although his suspicions had lessened considerably, he didn't admit it.

"You little brat, you're full of bad intentions. I could tell from what happened in Kirigakure. I know it's never good when you fart."

As he spoke, he rubbed his throbbing cheek and said coldly, "Human Bomber? Hmph, Konoha's Ino-Shika-Cho trio, I'll remember you."

Upon hearing that something was amiss, Kaguya Kazama curiously asked, "I knew there was a big fat guy chasing us in my Byakugan vision, but it turns out it's the Ino-Shika-Cho trio. What happened? Did you get hit by their combination attack?"

"Stop talking. The Yamanaka clan's 'Mind Transfer Technique' and the Nara clan's Shadow Technique are both disgusting."

Kisame Hoshigaki felt a surge of grief and indignation when he recalled the scene of being suddenly controlled during his battle with Shisui Uchiha.

"These guys who use Yin Release ninjutsu are disgusting. Next time we meet, I'll definitely take them down first."

"Then you'll have to deal with the Akimichi clan, who use Yang Release ninjutsu, first."

Kaguya Kazama interjected, "As the only damage dealer and tank in the Ino-Shika-Cho combo, if you can't quickly take down 'Cho,' then 'Shika' and 'Ino' will be your nightmare next."

As renowned control-type ninjutsu in the ninja world, the Mind Transfer Technique and Shadow Binding Technique are extremely famous.

This special Yin Release ninjutsu is very difficult to defend against. Once you are hit, there is no way to defend against it unless you also possess Yin Release ninjutsu or use chakra far exceeding that of the user.

If it were a regular elite Jonin, they wouldn't be able to escape if they encountered the Ino-Shika-Cho trio.

However, Kisame Hoshigaki is known as the "tailless tailed beast," and with his massive chakra reserves, breaking free from control and escaping wouldn't be a problem.

The two were extremely fast, and the Konoha side was busy treating the wounded, so they didn't have much intention to pursue them.

Soon, Bai Yan could no longer see any trace of the pursuers.

However, neither of them stayed.

They ventured deeper into the forest, passing through dense, untouched primeval forests. After about two hours, the rivers and moisture gradually became more abundant.

Finally, at dawn, the two stopped in front of a large waterfall.

"This is the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Waterfall. There won't be many people here. I'll rest for a few days, and my injuries also need time to heal."

Kisame Hoshigaki looked around and found a place to heal his wounds.

He didn't know medical ninjutsu, so he simply took out some medicine and started applying it to the wound, then mobilized his chakra to stimulate the body's tissues to repair themselves.

Kaguya Kazama activated her Byakugan and looked around. Seeing that there were no ferocious beasts or ninjas, she prepared to enter the waterfall to wash herself.

Having just undergone an evolution beyond the level of life and a fierce battle of escape, his body was covered not only in sweat but also with a lot of dead skin that had not yet shed.

As the raging torrent of water rushed down, the fatigue of battle, the remnants of an old body, and the pressure of death that had accumulated since his defection from Kirigakure were all washed away in one fell swoop.

A refreshing feeling of rebirth, like the rapid sprouting of grass in early spring.

"Cool!"

Kaguya Kazama soared into the sky, piercing through the vast morning mist, watching the sun rise in the east.

Thousands of golden rays illuminated the sea of ​​clouds, and everywhere was a dazzling golden yellow. A gentle breeze caressed our faces, the sea of ​​clouds surged, and as far as the eye could see, there was an endless expanse of heaven and earth.

"The scenery in the sky is indeed different from that on the ground. No wonder everyone wants to come up and see it."

Kaguya Kazama floated above the sea of ​​clouds, reaching out to touch the small horns on either side of her forehead, feeling the warm touch on her fingertips, an unprecedented sense of security filling her entire body.

"After a series of defections and schemes, they have finally gained the strength to barely establish themselves in the ninja world."

He let out a long sigh, then clenched his fists tightly as if he had grasped something invisible, and declared firmly, "From today onwards, my fate is in my own hands, not in the hands of heaven."

"Once I've developed for a while, made up for my weaknesses, and evolved three or five bloodline limits, I'll be invincible until I reach the Six Paths level."

Kaguya Kazama had already planned for the future.

According to the information carried by the [Karma Seed], the Otsutsuki larva can evolve into a mature form and awaken its own unique skills as long as it absorbs enough cosmic energy.

However, this was not Kaguya Kazama's goal.

This conventional evolutionary approach is too mediocre, its combat power is outdated, it has flaws, and it lacks any special skills.

His goal is to absorb special cosmic energy, evolve into a mature form, and at the same time, urge the Byakugan to undergo a mutation and advance, transforming it into a powerful eye similar to the Tenseigan, Kurokan, or Jōgan.

Only in this way can we deal with the Otsutsuki clan that will appear later, as well as Nine-Tails overpowered characters like Naruto Uzumaki.

However, special energy is extremely rare. Although Kaguya Kazama had some guesses, he had only just become a juvenile and there was no need to rush to pursue it.

On the contrary, there are some things that urgently need to be addressed at this stage.

First, there are the standard elemental ninjutsu techniques.

Because he had spent the previous two years hiding within the Kaguya clan, and Kaguya Kazama couldn't show values ​​different from the mainstream clan members, he was completely ignorant of everything except for two minor D-rank water-style ninjutsu he had secretly learned.

Last night's battle relied entirely on his Shikotsumyaku, Otsutsuki's flying ability, and his ultimate move, All-Killing Ash Bones, to maintain the momentum, making his performance somewhat awkward throughout.

Kaguya Kazama plans to take advantage of Kisame Hoshigaki to teach her more Water Release ninjutsu, and it would be even better if she could learn his unique Shark Ninjutsu.

Secondly, he needs to develop physical skills that can complement his current physical abilities.

The three skills of ninjutsu, taijutsu, and genjutsu have always been the standards for judging whether a ninja is powerful.

Physical skills, in particular, are of paramount importance.

A ninja may not know ninjutsu or genjutsu, but he must be proficient in taijutsu.

Kakashi's father, the White Fang of Konoha, was a master of taijutsu and wielded a short sword, causing countless enemy casualties during World War II.

Might Guy was the pinnacle of taijutsu ninjas. After opening all eight gates, he completely overpowered Madara Uchiha, almost bringing him to the brink of defeat.

Of course, another crucial element of taijutsu and ninjutsu is judgment and combat awareness.

As for physical skills, Shikotsumyaku has its own exclusive Kaguya Fluid Technique. He has no shortage of skills, but he lacks judgment and combat awareness.

Kaguya Kazama also plans to continue to exploit Kisame Hoshigaki, having him train him and improve his skills as much as possible.

Finally, the illusion technique.

Since evolving into the Otsutsuki juvenile form, his chakra attribute has automatically increased to the 'Yin' attribute, most likely due to the transplantation of the Byakugan.

This signifies that he possesses a high level of talent in practicing illusion magic.

However, Kisame Hoshigaki doesn't seem to know illusion magic, so we can put that aside for now and not rush it.

In short, the next plan can be summed up in one sentence: try to fleece Kisame Hoshigaki.

Coincidentally, Kisame Hoshigaki hadn't yet paid the price for the Sharingan information he had previously obtained.

Kaguya Kazama planned to use the price of that three-way choice to make Kisame Hoshigaki continue to burn himself, shining and generating heat.

"Then, it's decided that way."

"Life is a continuous journey of dedication. If Hiruzen can use the Will of Fire, why can't I?"

Kaguya Kazama's eyes curved into beautiful arcs as an idea popped into her mind.
