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

Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Demon.

Another member of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, and the tallest ninja in the entire Naruto world.

"grown ups."

Kisame made way for the pufferfish demon and bowed to it.

Fuguki was an extremely powerful and high-ranking ninja in Kirigakure.

He was extremely cunning and commanded the Hidden Mist Village's ANBU. To protect the Blood Mist Village, he carried out various underground missions year-round, earning the respect of even Obito Uchiha from the original timeline.

Simply put, Fuguki is the "Danzo" of Kirigakure.

The pufferfish demon ignored Kisame and walked straight past him. After all, it was only right for a genin to bow and pay his respects when he saw him.

He walked to the equipment area and, before starting his workout, took down a large knife wrapped in white bandages from his back and casually leaned it against the wall.

Upon witnessing this scene, Kisame felt his throat go dry and his heart race.

That is... the Greatsword Samehada.

The seven ninja swords of Kirigakure also have varying degrees of quality.

Among them, the decapitation sword is probably the most pathetic and not very useful.

Kisame's Raito, Nagato, and Bakuto are mid-tier ninja swords, each possessing powerful special abilities.

Speaking of the two strongest ninja swords, one is the twin sword Hiramekarei, which is usually wielded by the strongest of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Ages, and the other is the great sword Samehada.

At this time.

"drink."

With a soft shout, the pufferfish demon lifted a ton of weight.

In my previous life on Earth, only a superhuman like The Mountain could achieve this. But for the Pufferfish Demon, this was just a warm-up.

Very competitive.

Kisame couldn't help but sigh.

Compared to other ninja swords, Samehada is a special sword because it has life.

Samehada will only recognize those it likes, and to gain its favor, one must possess a vast amount of delicious chakra.

The pufferfish demon's enormous body, standing two and a half meters tall and weighing several hundred kilograms, clearly contained a large amount of chakra within its cells.

Therefore, although Samehada was right there in the corner, seemingly within easy reach of Kisame, he dared not make any rash moves.

To defeat the pufferfish demon, he must become stronger.

Or, like in his previous life, he could join the Dark Side as a subordinate of the Fugu Demon, patiently wait for several years until he had completely gained the latter's trust, and then launch a surprise attack.

Kisame gave Samehada a deep look before turning away and preparing to leave.

As a result, he turned around and bumped into Hozuki Mangetsu.

"Hey, Kisame, you're here to work out too? What a coincidence."

Hozuki Mangetsu patted Kisame on the shoulder warmly, as if they were very familiar with each other.

Kisame frowned slightly, not expecting this guy to be so persistent. He had never seen Hozuki Mangetsu at the gym before; the other party had clearly been following him.

"Huh, Senior Fugu Demon is here too?"

Hozuki Mangetsu suddenly let out a soft exclamation, walked up, and greeted Suigetsu Hozuki.

He not only seemed to know the pufferfish demon very well, but even picked up a sharkskin from the side and started brandishing it with great flair. The pufferfish demon, seeing this, simply grinned and said nothing.

A moment later, Hozuki Mangetsu, carrying Samehada which was even taller than him, walked towards Kisame.

"Want to play around? Here, take it and try it out. Don't worry, Fugu-no-Kami-senpai won't be angry."

He lured Kisame and offered him Samehada.

Faced with Hozuki Mangetsu's probing, Kisame remained unmoved and calmly said:

"How dare someone of my lowly status desecrate this ninja sword that symbolizes honor and status?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he strode out of the gym.

on the street.

Kisame had just come out of the gym and hadn't walked far when he was stopped again.

"So the urgent matter you mentioned was going to the gym? Be careful, or I'll tell Mei Terumi that you were just making excuses for her, hmph."

Ringo Ameyuri, with a mischievous look on her face, threatens Kisame.

What do you want?

Kisame looked at the little girl and asked casually.

"Give me a little something, and I'll keep my mouth shut and not tell anyone," Yu Yuli said slyly, rubbing her thumb and middle finger together.

"Ok."

Kisame happened to see a children's toy store nearby, so he instructed Yuri, "Wait here for me for a while."

He walked up to the stall, picked out a finely crafted high-pressure toy water gun, fiddled with it for a while with his back to Yuri, and then handed it to her.

"Water gun? Do you think I'm a three-year-old child?!"

Yuri felt humiliated and bared her teeth at Kisame, revealing a mouthful of small, sharp fangs.

"You try it first."

Kisame spoke up, adding, "Be careful not to point it at people."

Yu Yuli looked suspicious, aimed the water gun at a big tree by the roadside, and pulled the trigger. With a "biu" sound, it shot out.

Chi Chi Chi.

The trunk of the large tree immediately emitted a thick plume of smoke, and the bark quickly turned black due to severe corrosion.

"What did you add to this?"

Yuri was startled when she saw this.

"It's sulfuric acid, I added sulfuric acid."

Kisame answered truthfully and also told Yuri how to use the weapon.

"You are a seemingly harmless little girl, and your appearance is deceptive. Therefore, when you are on a mission, try not to wear a headband or anything else that could easily reveal your ninja identity. Instead of kunai or shuriken, this water gun will allow you to disguise yourself as a civilian little girl playing in the water, making it easier to approach the enemy and launch a sneak attack."

He recounted these valuable life experiences in detail.

Yuri listened in a daze, and after a long while, she stared at Kisame and said:

"You're such a bad guy."

Kisame didn't argue. Instead, he took out another bottle of sulfuric acid and handed it to her, instructing her to add more when she ran out, but to be careful and not hurt herself.

"Then I'll take it. Hehe, this is really fun."

Yuri took the sulfuric acid bottle, grabbed the water gun, and left happily.

21. Winning is my way of ninja.

on the way home.

Kisame walked along, head bowed in deep thought.

In the original timeline, there were four members of the second generation of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist. Besides Zabuza Momochi, whom he had already killed, himself, and Ringo Ameyuri, the last one was Mangetsu Hozuki.

Hozuki Mangetsu was a genius who aimed to collect all seven ninja swords during his lifetime. He must have discovered something to set his sights on Kisame.

However, Kisame guessed that the other party probably had no evidence, otherwise, as a disciple of Hozuki Mangetsu, he would have already taken him down.

Therefore, under such circumstances, he cannot afford to lose his composure.

When they were almost home, Kisame stopped and raised his hands.

His shark-tail lightning whip, the long sword in his right hand, and the explosive tag pattern tattooed on his left arm can usually be hidden inside his body, so there is no abnormality from the outside.

Kisame's physical characteristics only become apparent when he uses a certain ability.

He extended his right index finger.

With a "whoosh," strands of chakra flew out from his fingertips, setting up several inconspicuous warning lines along the grass around the wooden house.

Then, Kisame squatted down and placed his left hand on the ground.

Black explosive runes immediately appeared on his left arm, and his chakra flowed from the "explosion" symbol on his palm into the ground.

Several explosive traps were created in the vicinity.

With these warning lines and explosive traps in place, Kisame can immediately detect if anyone approaches and take appropriate countermeasures accordingly.

He decided to be more careful and to flee immediately if his scheme was exposed.

Night falls.

Inside the wooden cabin, Kisame lay on the bed, fast asleep with steady breathing.

Suddenly, his right index finger twitched, accompanied by the sound of a string breaking, which startled him awake from his sleep.

Sure enough, someone arrived.

Kisame opened his eyes, straightened his upper body, snapped his fingers with his left hand, and remotely detonated an explosive trap.

boom!

An explosion suddenly came from outside, accompanied by a dazzling flash of fire and a sudden scream.

Kisame got out of bed, pushed open the door, and went to the bushes behind the cabin.

Under the cold moonlight, a pool of water was flowing where the explosion had just occurred. Under Kisame's gaze, it slowly "stood up," revealing itself to be Hozuki Mangetsu.

The art of water transformation.

The Hozuki clan's secret technique is a ninjutsu that allows them to liquefy and dissolve their own flesh at will, thus making them immune to all physical attacks.

"It's you? Are you alright?"
