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

"Kisame Hoshigaki, you don't actually think your talent and temperament can compare to my grandfather's, do you?"

Tsunade crossed her arms, gave a cold laugh, and tried to pour cold water on Kisame.

Upon hearing this, Kisame suddenly burst into laughter, his voice echoing throughout the entire banquet hall.

"What are you laughing at?" Tsunade frowned.

Kisame stopped laughing, took out a plant made from Hashirama cells, and threw it to her.

"What does this mean? I told you, I won't agree to your deal." Tsunade said, placing the plant on the table next to her.

“I’m not trying to make a deal with you. After hearing what you said, I simply felt it was a pity that Hashirama Senju’s Wood Release was lost. And you are his only granddaughter, so I hope you can use this plant to inherit your grandfather’s bloodline limit, so that I can have the opportunity to see the glory of the God of Shinobi once again one day.”

Kisame looked down at Tsunade and spoke slowly.

Tsunade was quite surprised by his words.

"Really? I don't believe you would be so generous."

She still frowned, feeling that Kisame was up to something. How could he possibly entrust her with such a valuable Hashirama cell plant?

Tsunade couldn't believe that Kisame's vision was so grand.

"Alas, that's because you don't understand how lonely it is to be invincible."

Kisame saw through Tsunade's thoughts, sighed, and suddenly moved closer to her.

At that moment, his gaze was filled with aggression. He suddenly grabbed Tsunade's wrists and used the weight of his massive body to press her down onto the dining table.

"Bastard, let me go!"

Tsunade roared and struggled desperately, but in terms of her greatest asset—strength—she was completely overwhelmed by Kisame.

"Lady Tsunade!" Shizune, who was outside the door, was shocked to see this scene, thinking that Kisame was about to do something indecent to Tsunade. She tried to rush in, but was stopped by Yekura's kunai, which gleamed with a cold light.

155. I'm not afraid of making too many enemies; I'm only afraid that the enemies aren't strong enough.

Outside the banquet hall.

"Let me in!" Shizune shouted sharply, preparing to attack Ye Cang and rush into the hall to rescue him.

"Take one more step forward, and you'll die."

Ye Cang's voice was cold. She snapped her fingers, and several scorching fireballs appeared silently, floating around Shizune's body and surrounding her.

Shizune felt the intense heat emanating from the fireball and her expression changed. Although she was extremely anxious, she also realized that if she forced her way in, it would be tantamount to suicide.

Inside the lobby.

Kisame's hands were like a pair of giant iron clamps, gripping Tsunade's wrists tightly. His massive body pressed down on her like a mountain, making it difficult for Tsunade to breathe and rendering her completely immobile.

What do you want to do?

After her initial panic subsided, she calmed down and stared at Kisame, asking a question.

"That's a good question."

Kisame flashed a classic villainous smile and said to her without any attempt to hide it, "I can do whatever I want to you because you're too weak. The weak are the playthings of the strong; that's the law of nature."

As he spoke, he brazenly sized up Tsunade's beautiful and delicate face, as if he had spotted a delicious prey.

"you……"

Tsunade gritted her teeth, feeling an unprecedented sense of humiliation, tears welling in her eyes. She had been bullied by Kisame far too many times, and the accumulated feelings of powerlessness and humiliation had brought her, usually so strong, to the brink of emotional collapse.

She turned her head away, not wanting to look at Kisame again, as if she had resigned herself to her fate.

"Oh, are you about to cry? Tsunade, are you feeling desperate and helpless right now?"

As Kisame spoke, he pinched Tsunade's chin with his fingers, forcibly turning her face back to meet his gaze.

At this distance, their faces were almost touching, and their breaths were on each other's faces.

"Tsunade, haven't you always wanted to give me a good beating? Too bad you don't have the strength. I, Kisame Hoshigaki, am never afraid of making too many enemies, I'm only afraid that my enemies aren't strong enough for me to fight. So, if you don't want to become my plaything, work hard to become as strong as Hashirama Senju, and then come find me. At that time, you'll know whether I can be compared to your grandfather."

Kisame stared at Tsunade, finished speaking to her, then stood up and stopped bullying her.

Just then.

"Kisame-san, what happened?"

Yuki-onna walked in through the side door with a surprised look on her face. Although she was on the guest list for the banquet, she was worried about Shiro and Kimimaro, so she had stayed at home to take care of the two little ones and only now had time to spare.

She walked over with small, quick steps and carefully helped Tsunade, who was lying on the table, to her feet.

"Lady Tsunade, it's been a long time. Did you... have a fight with Kisame?" Yuki-onna asked softly, glancing at Kisame.

"I'm chatting with Tsunade, it's nothing."

Kisame said with a smile, walked over and put his arm around Yuki-onna's shoulder, then calmly said to Tsunade, "A week from now, I will awaken that sealed slug clone. No matter what means I use, I will obtain the Sage Techniques of Shikkotsu Forest, whether you help me or not."

Upon hearing this, Tsunade stared at Kisame without saying a word, her thoughts unknown.

"Alright, it's getting late, I need to go home and hand in my homework to the Snow Woman."

As Kisame said this, he glanced at the night sky outside; it was almost midnight.

Handing in homework?

Tsunade paused for a moment upon hearing those three words, not understanding their meaning. It wasn't until she saw Yuki-onna blushing and shyly nestled against Kisame's chest that she understood what it meant.

"Hahaha."

Kisame laughed loudly, then put his arm around Yuki-onna's slender waist and walked out through the main entrance.

Tsunade watched Kisame and his companion leave with a gloomy expression, then slowly withdrew her gaze and looked at the lush green Hashirama cell plant on the table.

Her eyes flashed, and she grabbed the plant tightly, her desire for power stronger than ever before.

Tsunade took a deep breath, composed herself, and walked out of the banquet hall.

"Lady Tsunade, are you alright?"

Shizune noticed that Tsunade's clothes were somewhat disheveled and there were tears in the corners of her eyes, so she quickly came to greet her with a worried expression.

Tsunade looked at Yekura beside her and suddenly asked, "Excuse me, where is the hospital in Kirigakure? I would like to use the operating room here."

Yekura had clearly received Kisame's instructions in advance, and said preparedly, "Please follow me."

Guided by her, the three of them quickly arrived at the hospital and entered a heavily guarded, fully equipped operating room.

"This operating room was specially prepared for you by the Mizukage. I'll be right outside; please feel free to ask if you need anything."

After saying this, Ye Cang went out and stood guard outside the door.

In the operating room.

"Lady Tsunade, is this the cell transplant of the First Hokage? You intend to... transplant it into your own body?"

When Shizune heard Tsunade's idea, she couldn't help but show a very surprised expression.

"In order to defeat Kisame Hoshigaki, I must obtain my grandfather's power."

With a resolute expression, Tsunade slowly removed the clothing from her right shoulder, revealing her smooth, white shoulder. She prepared to perform the transplant surgery immediately, with Shizune's assistance.

During the transplantation of interstitial cells, most people experience a strong rejection reaction and ultimately succumb to the immense force, turning into "tree people" and dying a miserable death.

Extraordinary people, like Kisame, forcefully suppressed the power of Hashirama's cells by relying on their monstrous physique, assimilating and absorbing them.

But Tsunade is different from them.

As Kisame said, Tsunade is the only remaining member of the Senju clan in the world, and is also the granddaughter of Hashirama Senju. The purest Senju bloodline flows in her veins.

When Tsunade took the plant out of the test tube and held it in her hand, she could feel a familiar chakra that resonated strongly with the blood in her body.

Tsunade is the only person who was able to perfectly transplant Hashirama's cells and obtain Hashirama Senju's true power.

"Let's begin."

She said something to Jingyin and then lay down on the operating table.

The operation begins.

……

It was the middle of the night.

The village of Misty Hidden Village, which had been bustling all night, gradually quieted down. The lights went out, and the villagers drifted into a deep sleep.

Kisame got dressed and quietly got out of bed.

He glanced back and saw the Snow Woman on the bed, her face flushed, fast asleep with a blissful expression, clearly exhausted.

Kisame gently closed the door, stepped into the courtyard, and glanced at the dark night sky. Then, he spread his black wings and soared into the sky.

Before long, Kisame arrived at the back of Kirigakure, in a spacious open area.

谷麛

He has made up his mind to go to Shikkotsu Forest, where he will surely face the Slug Sage.

As far as Kisame knew, its name was Katsuyu, an incredibly enormous slug. Unlike Mount Myōboku and Ryūchi Cave, Shikkotsu Forest had no other slugs, only countless clones of Katsuyu.

The live slug is undoubtedly on par with the toad ball; one must be extremely cautious and fully prepared when facing it.

Kisame currently has a live slug clone as a "hostage," but that's clearly not enough.

Therefore, he decided to further enhance his own abilities.

With that in mind, Kisame took out the Flame Fan and the Kusanagi Sword from the Box of Paradise.

These two ninja tools are made from the trunk of the Divine Tree, a family treasure passed down for thousands of years by the Uchiha clan, and the other is a legendary divine weapon, the hardest and sharpest weapon in the ninja world.

It can be said that the Flame Fan and the Ame-no-Murakumo Sword are weapons second only to Six Paths level ninja tools.

If Kisame can absorb their abilities and use them flexibly, it will undoubtedly be like adding wings to a tiger for him now. At that time, he will have enough confidence even when facing creatures of the level of slugs and toads.

An hour later.

With the help of the cheat device in his mind, Kisame successfully devoured the two ninja tools and gained initial mastery of their abilities.

Among them, after being absorbed by Kisame, the Kusanagi Sword eventually became his spine, supporting his tall and strong body.
