Ninja World: I, Kisame Hoshigaki, am no longer human!

After emerging from the dense fog-shrouded deep forest, the area is flat and open. If a signal flare is fired, it will definitely be spotted by other fog-covered squads.

Zabuza carefully took out the only signal flare from his ninja tool pouch, lowered his head, and prepared to pull the fuse with his teeth.

But just then—

call out!

A kunai with an explosive tag attached shot out of the forest and exploded with a bang as it flew in front of Zabuza.

11. Sharks will eat their own kind.

"boom!"

A burst of fire erupted. The shockwave from the exploding tags blasted Zabuza away, sending him spewing blood.

boom.

He fell heavily to the ground, covered in blood, his internal organs seemed to be out of place, and his consciousness was almost blurred. It was clear that he was not going to survive.

However, Zabuza's will to survive is incredibly strong.

With a whoosh.

With his last ounce of strength, he pulled the pin on the signal flare in his hand. With a sharp whistle, it shot straight into the sky, trailing a long red tail.

That was Zabuza's last hope of survival.

But the next second, the flame of hope that had just ignited in his heart was mercilessly extinguished by a bucket of cold water.

Because a blue, shark-shaped water bomb shot into the sky from the woods. With a graceful leap, it opened its mouth wide in mid-air and swallowed the signal flare whole.

It’s over.

Seeing this, Zabuza's face turned ashen.

"Kisame Hoshigaki..."

He watched the familiar figure emerge from behind the tree and bitterly uttered the other person's name.

After Kisame appeared, he stopped about five or six meters away from Zabuza.

Experienced hunters, after hitting their prey with an arrow, will release it to prevent the wounded prey from retaliating and will patiently follow it from a distance.

This process usually lasts for several hours until the prey dies from excessive blood loss.

Despite Kisame being much stronger than Zabuza, he remained hidden in the shadows, following the wounded Zabuza until the latter was on his last legs before launching a sneak attack.

He was extremely cautious, giving the enemy no chance to turn the tide.

"What a... despicable guy."

Zabuza lay on the ground, looking up at Kisame, a bitter smile on his face.

In this jungle where the strong prey on the weak, he lost, but he lost with great resentment. Even on his deathbed, he still mistakenly believed that his strength surpassed Kisame's.

"You and I are the same kind of people."

Just then, Kisame slowly spoke, "However, sharks will eat their own kind in order to survive."

As soon as he finished speaking, he skillfully formed hand seals and summoned several sharks. They opened their gaping maws and quickly devoured Zabuza, leaving him completely clean.

These are real sharks, summoned beasts that made a pact with the Hoshigaki clan a long time ago.

These things are very convenient to use, whether for attacking enemies, transmitting intelligence, or disposing of corpses.

"Bang bang!"

As a puff of white smoke dissipated, Kisame released the summoning jutsu and walked to the location of Zabuza's corpse.

On the ground, only a pool of blood and a bulging ninja tool bag remained.

He picked up the ninja tool bag, which contained ninja tools such as shuriken and explosive tags, as well as several headbands belonging to Sand Village ninjas and a large sum of 200,000 ryo banknotes.

After carefully collecting his spoils, Kisame turned and left, heading to the riverbank.

With a "plop," it plunged into the water.

The Sand Village ninjas are destroying bridges and dams all over the Land of Water. If you want to track them down, searching along the waterways is the best option.

Despite the enemy's cunning, Kisame had his own methods.

He once again used his psychic powers to summon hundreds of sharks in one go, ordering them to scatter and enter rivers and lakes, venturing deep into the intricate water network of the Water Kingdom.

Sharks have an extremely sensitive sense of smell. These sharks, which have made pacts with the Dried Gourmet Clan, can even smell blood from kilometers away.

In this way, if the ninjas of Kirigakure and Sunagakure clash somewhere, Kisame can know immediately through the information transmitted back by the shark.

underwater.

After returning to the water, Kisame no longer suppressed himself and unleashed his Shark Tail Lightning Whip. With a "whoosh," he darted forward like an arrow released from a bow.

A few hours later.

Kisame surfaced and looked at the destroyed bridge not far away, which was collapsing and falling into the river, creating huge waves.

On the broken bridge, a dozen Sunagakure and Kirigakure ninjas were engaged in a fierce battle, their ninjutsu clashing, weapons clashing, and shouts and screams intertwined.

Kisame had no intention of making a move.

Because his target wasn't among those people.

Kisame then submerged into the water once more, silently passing over the river beneath the feet of both sides, and quickly made his way to the next battlefield.

Two more hours passed.

As dusk fell and the sun set behind the mountains, night gradually descended.

Boom!

A huge explosion suddenly came from the woods in the distance, accompanied by a dazzling burst of flames that shot into the sky.

"what?"

Kisame surfaced again, letting out a soft exclamation.

From that direction, he sensed the presence of multiple streams of chakra, indicating that at least several Jonin were fighting.

Kisame contracted his sphincter muscles, retracted his shark tail into his body, and then went ashore, stealthily heading towards the location where the battle had broken out.

We arrived at the outskirts of the battlefield.

He saw many Sand Village ninjas, bound to trees with wire, struggling and bleeding to death. This was a method that Kushimaru Kurihara often used to torture his enemies.

Not far away, in an open area, lay a large crater, steaming and sparking, emitting a thick smell of gunpowder. Beside the crater lay the charred corpses of several Sand Village ninjas, blown apart by the explosion.

This was caused by the spray from the exploding knife.

In addition, Kisame also found the corpses of Kirigakure ninja lying on the ground, their bodies dried up and turned into mummies.

This method of death was the work of Shokuun Yogakure.

The dead bodies all around—strangled, hanged, blown up, burned, or evaporated into mummies—each had a more gruesome death than the last. Under the cover of night, they were even more chilling and terrifying.

This is the real ninja battlefield.

Kisame continued deeper into the forest and, sure enough, spotted several familiar figures.

At this point, almost all of the main forces of Kirigakure and Sunagakure had been wiped out.

On the Kirigakure side, only the "ruthless duo" of Kushimaru Kurihara and Jinpachi Murashi remained, while on the Sunagakure side, besides Pakura, there was one surviving ANBU Jonin.

The two sides engaged in a 2v2 duel.

"Hahaha, die!"

Wuli Shenba's expression was fanatical, like a war madman. He swept out the explosive blade in his hand, instantly summoning a large number of explosive tags that exploded in front of him.

The Exploding Blade Spray is an extremely dangerous and difficult-to-control ninja sword.

If its user is careless and releases the wrong number of detonating tags, it will not only fail to harm the enemy but will also injure itself.

Munari Jinpachi is indeed highly skilled and daring, wielding this ninja sword with great ease.

Boom!

Under the impact of a series of explosions, neither Yekura nor the Sunagakure ANBU dared to confront them directly, and they fought and retreated.

Watch your step!

Ye Cang suddenly shouted a warning to his companions, but it was too late.

Swish swish.

Where the Sand Village ANBU member had landed, several steel wires shot out from the ground and instantly stitched together, severing his legs on the spot.

Longsword Ninja Technique: Earth Spider Sewing.

"what!"

The Sand Village's ANBU let out a shrill scream, but it stopped abruptly halfway through.

Because a long knife and sewing needle shot out from the side and pierced through the man's neck.

12. I will avenge Senior Raiga!

call out.

Kushimaru pulled on the steel wire, sheathed his long sword, stuck out his tongue and licked the hot blood on it, then smiled at Yekura before disappearing back into the darkness.

That's what makes the ruthless duo so terrifying.

Jinpachi Munashi is responsible for frontal combat and containing the enemy, while Kushimaru Kurihara lies in ambush, ready to deliver a fatal blow to any enemy who shows a weakness once an opportunity arises.

With such perfect teamwork, the two were not afraid at all, even when facing enemy Jonin who outnumbered them several times over.

boom.

As the corpses of the Sunagakure ANBU fell, the situation instantly became a two-on-one battle, which was very unfavorable for Yekura.

"Suffer to death."
