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

not good.

Ye Cang glanced back, his heart sinking. He hastily formed hand seals again, almost draining the remaining chakra in his body, and finally condensed a large fireball with a diameter of one meter.

With a clear shout, the scorching fireball, radiating heat like a small sun, hurtled towards Kisame, who was chasing after her on a water dragon.

Kisame's gaze sharpened, and he leaped high into the air.

boom!

Below him, the water dragon collided with the fireball, instantly destroying a large area of ​​forest and generating a large amount of water vapor, forming a thick fog that spread outwards.

At the edge of the fog, a figure flashed and disappeared.

Yekura planned to use the fog to escape.

However, she still underestimated Kisame's hunting ability.

puff!

Just when Ye Cang thought she had escaped, a sharp pain suddenly came from her left shoulder, making her freeze.

Immediately afterwards, she stumbled and fell to the ground.

Like Munashi Jinpachi, she was also pierced through the shoulder by Kisame's long sword finger, and he bound her tightly with chakra threads.

Yekura was thus humiliated and bound, her hands and feet tightly bound by chakra threads, unable to move.

Kisame emerged from the thick fog, picked up Yekura with one hand and held the Exploding Blade Higanbana in the other, and quickly left the area.

late at night.

All was quiet.

Kisame, carrying Yekura, ran for dozens of kilometers through the forest under the cover of night, finally arriving at a secluded mountainside where he found a hidden natural cave.

Once inside the cave, he looked around and, after confirming there was no danger, casually tossed Ye Cang to the ground.

"Ah."

Yekura landed face-first, letting out a muffled groan of pain. She then remained silent, her gaze blank, awaiting Kisame's pronouncement of her fate.

There was no begging for mercy, no venting of insults, because she knew that the man in front of her was a truly cold-blooded animal.

In the face of such a ruthless and heartless person, only by completely giving up resistance can one die more easily and without suffering so much.

Kisame did not deal with Yoruichi immediately.

He took out a candle, lit it to illuminate the cave, and then sat cross-legged, placing the explosive blade spray on his knees.

come on.

Kisame silently recited a command in his mind and activated the cheat device again.

"I'm so happy for you that you're about to reunite with your two brothers. Hurry up, or if you're late, all the spots will be taken, and you won't find a good place to settle down inside me."

He stared at the exploding blade and the flying spray, muttering to himself.

Seemingly understanding Kisame's words, Bakuto Higanbana was unexpectedly obedient, offering no resistance, and transformed into a fiery red light, entering his body.

It toured Kisame's body and finally stopped at his left arm.

Kisame lifted his clothes and discovered that black patterns resembling explosive tags had formed on the skin of his left arm. They spread along his entire arm and finally converged in the palm of his left hand, forming the character "爆" (explode).

His left arm was like a powder keg filled with explosives, ready to create a massive explosion at any moment.

This is true.

With a thought, Kisame stretched out his left hand and pressed it to the ground. As the "Explosion" character on his palm flickered slightly, a strange chakra flowed forward along the ground.

boom.

A few meters ahead, an explosion suddenly occurred on the ground, causing the cave to collapse and blocking the passage to the outside.

This is the power that the Exploding Blade Spray granted to Kisame.

He can create invisible explosive tags using chakra, which can be used for long-distance detonation, timed detonation, or detonation of a large number of explosive tags at once.

It is very useful whether used in frontal combat or in ambushing the enemy.

This time, Kisame really hit the jackpot, his strength making another qualitative leap in just a few days.

He currently possesses three ninja swords within him, which is equivalent to having three special bloodline limits. If he can further increase his chakra reserves and master these abilities, he will undoubtedly become a Kage-level powerhouse.

In the Naruto world, only those who reach the Kage level can be considered to have entered the inner circle and are qualified to be easily defeated by Madara Uchiha on the battlefield.

The road ahead is still very long.

After imagining the future for a while, Kisame withdrew his thoughts.

This time, in addition to two ninja swords, he also captured a female prisoner.

Thinking of this, Kisame looked at Yekura beside him.

15. Monster Cells

Deep in the mountains and dense forests, in the still of the night.

The collapsed cave formed a small, secret room, where candlelight flickered, creating a warm atmosphere.

Kisame Hoshigaki and Yogura, a lone man and woman, are alone in a room, making it hard not to have some ambiguous associations.

But in reality, the atmosphere was not like that at all.

A romance film? No, it's more like a pure horror movie.

At this moment, Yekura was bound hand and foot with chakra threads, lying helplessly on the ground, half of her shoulder stained red with blood.

Kisame looks like a serial killer who mutated into a shark-like shape after drinking too much nuclear wastewater.

This cozy cave, with its flickering candlelight, is more like a natural tomb.

Yekura was certain she would die, but she didn't know how she would say goodbye to this world.

She not only discovered Kisame's secret of his "bloodline limit," but also witnessed him devouring the explosive blade's spray. Based on that alone, Kisame would never allow her to live.

Kisame walked up to Yekura, squatted down, and looked down at the woman.

Yekura slowly closed her eyes, hoping that Kisame wouldn't torture her for too long and could give her a quick death.

Unbeknownst to her, Kisame hesitated at that moment.

He originally planned to interrogate Ye Cang to extract some valuable information from her before killing her.

But looking at the woman before him, he suddenly recalled her fate, and for a moment it was as if...

I saw another version of myself.

He and she are the same kind of people.

Zabuza Momochi is also Kisame's kind of person, but only in that he is "enthusiastic about killing his comrades".

As for Yekura, her life experience is very similar to Kisame's. Both of them are the kind of ninjas who devote themselves to the village and are absolutely loyal to their superiors, but in the end they are betrayed and die in a foreign land.

She made countless contributions to Sunagakure on the battlefield, especially during the Third Shinobi World War, where she struck fear into the hearts of countless Kirigakure ninja.

However, such a heroine was sacrificed after the war when the village's higher-ups sought peace with Kirigakure. She was tricked into going to Kirigakure by the Fourth Kazekage Rasa under the pretense of carrying out a secret mission, only to be stabbed in the back by Kirigakure ninja disguised as allies. She was riddled with kunai by the rain and died.

Later, after being resurrected by Edo Tensei, she wanted to take revenge on Kirigakure and Sunagakure, but was stopped by her most beloved disciple's talk-no-jutsu. In the end, she had no choice but to let go of her hatred and choose to forgive and believe.

Why?

Why should the village's hero deserve to be killed? Why should he forgive the enemy who caused his tragic death?

"What a...poor woman."

Thinking of this, Kisame lifted Yekura's chin with one hand, and for a moment felt a sense of pity for his fellow creatures.

Yekura opened her eyes again, looking at Kisame with surprise and doubt, not understanding what he was thinking or why he hadn't made a move yet.

Just then.

Kisame suddenly felt dizzy and nauseous, his face turned pale, and he felt unwell.

Oh no, is it because swallowing two ninja swords in a row caused side effects because my body couldn't handle it?

He was initially startled, but quickly realized that wasn't the case.

The real reason is...

The cheat device in Kisame's mind seemed to sense his pity for Yoruichi, and thus emitted a violent vibration.

At that moment, the iron-eating beast devoured Kisame's chakra and the energy of the three ninja swords, chewing them voraciously in its mouth, as if something was brewing and taking shape.

During this process, Kisame became increasingly nauseous and vomited, supporting himself on the ground with both hands and dry heaving incessantly.

Fortunately, this pain did not last long.

One minute later.

"Ugh~"

With a thud of Kisame's Adam's apple, he opened his mouth and spat out a ball of cells the size of a tennis ball, right in front of Yoruichiro.

This spherical cluster of cells, covered in a viscous liquid and covered with numerous synapses like waving little hands, wriggled incessantly in Kisame's palm, appearing almost alive.

What is this?

Yekura witnessed this terrifying and bizarre scene with a sense of bewilderment, and then... she saw Kisame pick up the "large virus" and move closer to her.

"Eat it. If you die, I'll collect your body; if you survive, I'll let you go."

Kisame said this to her.

The thing in his hand is called a "monster cell," a byproduct of a cheat device.

The so-called "monster cells" are actually a special type of cell tissue in Kisame's body.

Thanks to the existence of the cheat device, Kisame gained extraordinary evolutionary abilities, which can be indirectly and partially transmitted to others through his cells.

The principle is similar to how Hashirama Senju's cells can grant the recipient Wood Release.

A ninja who consumes monster cells will have their evolutionary shackles unlocked, allowing them to evolve in a certain direction based on their own talents and gain powerful abilities.

However, like transplanting interstitial cells, this process is also fraught with enormous risks.
