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

Wu Li Shenba showed no mercy to women. Before he finished speaking, he grabbed the explosive blade Fei Mo and slashed at Ye Cang in the waist.

Meanwhile, Kushimaru Kurihara kept emitting strange laughs as he roamed in the shadows of the forest, threatening to strike at any moment, which greatly increased the pressure on Yekura.

"hateful."

Ye Cang gritted his teeth, having no other choice but to defend with all his might, recalling several Scorching Release fireballs to his side to form a defensive wall.

At this point, she had already begun to consider leaving, but her two attempts to escape both ended in failure.

How could the experienced and ruthless duo possibly let her escape?

They were also wary of Pakura's Scorching Release Fireball, fearing she might launch a desperate counterattack, so they maintained a certain distance and continuously depleted her chakra.

If this continues, Yecang will eventually be worn down.

Kisame witnessed everything that happened in the forest.

He knew that he could no longer stand idly by. If the ruthless duo could take down Yekura without bloodshed, Kisame's plan to covet the longsword and the explosive blade would also fall through.

He couldn't miss this opportunity.

then--

"call."

Kisame took a deep breath, strode out of the woods, and called out from afar, "Lord Kurihara Kushimaru!"

"Oh, it's you?"

Upon hearing this, Kushimaru Kurihara turned around and, upon seeing Kisame, casually asked, "Where's Zabuza?"

Zabuza Momochi was one of his more valued subordinates, the kind he planned to groom for future success.

Kisame's eyes flashed, but instead of answering Kushimaru's question, he shouted:

"My lord, this woman killed my comrades and my most respected senior, Raiga Kurosuki. Please let me join the battle and avenge them!"

Before the words were even finished, Kisame, without waiting for a reply, formed a series of hand seals, gathered the surging chakra within his body to his throat, and exhaled it forward from his mouth.

Water Escape·Explosive Water Shockwave.

Splash!

At that moment, the water spewed from Kisame's mouth formed a three-story-high tsunami, spreading forward.

"This kid can actually use B-rank ninjutsu."

Kushimaru Kurihara was taken aback, but what surprised him even more was that the tsunami was not only heading towards Yokura, but also engulfing him and Jinpachi Munashi.

The three people who were fighting stopped immediately and took shelter from the flood.

Ultimately, Kisame's Water Burst Wave altered the terrain, creating a lake tens of meters in diameter in the forest.

"Kisame, what are you doing?"

Kushimaru stepped on the water and questioned in a cold voice, but when he looked around, he could not see Kisame.

Just then, a huge vortex suddenly appeared beneath his feet.

Those were five chakra sharks, hovering at high speed beneath the surface, creating a whirlpool that trapped Kushimaru Kurihara within it.

Water Escape: Five-Foot Shark.

It's another B-rank ninjutsu.

Five ferocious sharks surrounded Kushimaru and launched a fierce attack, intending to tear him to pieces.

This unexpected attack immediately put Kushimaru in danger.

"Hey, what's wrong with your subordinate?"

Seeing this, Muli Jinba shouted at his companion.

Yecang, who was standing to the side, also looked surprised and doubtful.

The shark-faced man who suddenly appeared looked somewhat familiar to her, but she was quite certain that this ninja named Kisame was not a spy planted in Kirigakure by Sunagakure.

In any case, taking advantage of the infighting among the enemy is an excellent opportunity to retreat.

Thinking of this, Ye Cang immediately unleashed chakra from the soles of his feet and used the Body Flicker Technique to escape into the distance.

"Want to escape?"

Wuli Shenba raised an eyebrow, picked up the explosive sword Fei Mo, and chased after him, stopping Ye Cang again.

The two sides engaged in a fierce battle once again.

Here.

Kushimaru Kurishari, with his agile movements, dodged the sharks' attacks while skillfully manipulating his long sword, Sewing Needle, to pierce through the five sharks one by one, thus breaking the technique.

"No matter how many of these sharks come, it won't make a difference."

He sneered, his gaze fixed on the water. "You traitor! You were the one who killed Kurosuki Raiga, weren't you and the Sand Village ninjas together? Get out here!"

Before he finished speaking, the long knife and sewing needle in his hand shot out again, shooting into the water like lightning.

Clearly, Kushimaru Kurihara was preparing to repeat his previous trick and lure Kisame, the shark, out of the water.

Unfortunately, he's going to miscalculate this time.

Hidden at the bottom of the water, Kisame's eyes lit up when he saw the long sword and needle shooting towards him, just like a starving person seeing a piece of fragrant braised pork.

My heart is bursting with joy.

At this moment, he no longer held back; his arms bulged with blood and veins stood out as he launched a fierce attack.

He first tilted his head, narrowly dodging the attack of the long sword, then quickly and accurately grabbed its hilt and pulled hard.

Ok?

Kushimaru, who was on the surface of the water, suddenly felt a strong force coming from underwater along the steel wire of his long sword. Not only did he fail to catch Kisame, but he was also pulled into the water by the fish.

Pfft!

Kushimaru Kurihara plunged headfirst into the water. Although he was a Hidden Mist ninja who dealt with water all year round, as a giant, his limbs were too slender, and he easily lost his balance once he entered the water.

In contrast, the water is Kisame's home turf.

In water, the forces of the two ebb and flow.

At this moment, Kisame grabbed one end of his long sword and forcefully pulled Kushimaru Kurihara towards the deep water, intending to suffocate him due to lack of oxygen.

Twenty meters, fifteen meters, ten meters.

The distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer.

Just as Kisame was about to succeed, Kushimaru Kurihara suddenly launched a fierce counterattack.

He gripped the wire tightly with one hand to prevent Kisame from taking away the long sword and sewing needle, while his other hand miraculously performed a difficult one-handed hand seal in the water.

shhhhhh!

As he finished the hand seals, steel wires shot out from his palms, heading towards vital points all over Kisame's body.

Kushimaru Kurihara waited until this moment to make his move because he had already calculated that at such close range, Kisame, as a human ninja, no matter how agile, would not be able to dodge the attacks from these steel wires.

Unless that guy can actually turn into a fish.

But the next second, his pupils shrank sharply as he witnessed an unbelievable scene.

Kisame in the water suddenly increased its speed, swimming with incredible agility to perfectly avoid all the steel wire attacks, and accelerated towards Kushimaru.

Behind him, a grayish-brown sword tail was faintly visible...

13. The power of lines

That's... a tail?

What kind of monster is this guy?

Kushimaru Kurihara's eyes widened, his hands trembling slightly, as he finally realized that something was wrong.

He gritted his teeth and released the long sword and needle, determined to escape to the water even if it meant losing the ninja sword he considered his life.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

Because Kisame, swinging its shark tail, had already charged towards Kushimaru Kurihara.

On the lake.

gurgling.

The water churned and spewed forth like a fountain, indicating a fierce battle was raging underwater. Then, a dazzling flash of silver lightning erupted from the water, illuminating the entire lake surface and flashing for a good ten seconds.

After the lightning disappeared, the lake finally returned to calm, without a single ripple, as if nothing had happened.

This strange phenomenon left both Yekura and Muri Jinpachi bewildered and they stopped fighting once again.

What exactly happened beneath the surface?

"Hey, what are you doing?"

No longer caring about Yekura, Muri Jinpachi ran to the shore calling out Kurihara Kushimaru's name, his brows furrowed.

He had a bad feeling.

really.

As soon as Wu Li Shenba finished speaking, a tall corpse slowly rose to the surface of the water. The corpse's skin showed "electric current spots" and obvious burn marks, and in some severely burned areas, the bone was even visible.

It's chestnut shell dumplings.

At this moment, his mask shattered, revealing a terrified face, as if he had seen something extremely frightening before his death.

"how so……"

Upon seeing his companion's gruesome death, Mushi Jinpachi took two steps back, a sense of panic rising within him.

good chance!

Upon seeing this, Yekura immediately decided to switch from defense to offense, manipulating the Scorching Release Fireball and shooting it towards Muri Jinpachi.

Although she was still unsure of Kisame's stance and identity, she had just been surrounded and attacked by the ruthless duo, and when she was about to be overwhelmed, it was Kisame who came out and saved her.
