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

191. Thousand-Handed Greatsword and the Snake Princess

Back then, when Hashirama Senju fought against his nemesis Madara Uchiha, the weapon he used to fight against the latter, who was wielding a flame fan, was this door-shaped greatsword.

Just as the Flame Fan is a legacy passed down through generations of the Uchiha clan, this giant sword also has a remarkable origin. It is an ancestral treasure of the Senju clan and has been passed down for hundreds of years.

However, by Tsunade's generation, the once-powerful and vast Senju clan was reduced to just her, and she disliked using weapons, preferring to use her fists.

So she buried the greatsword and the storage scroll together in the Wet Bone Forest.

If it weren't for Kisame's intense interest in this giant sword, it would probably have been forgotten by Tsunade, buried underground forever, never to see the light of day again.

"This sword... seems to be just a bit bigger and heavier, but otherwise there's nothing special about it."

Kisame looked at the Thousand Hands Greatsword and muttered to himself, deliberately showing a disappointed expression.

Tsunade took the bait as expected.

"Hmph, what do you know? The appearance of the Thousand Hands Greatsword is indeed simple and unadorned, but as a treasure passed down through generations of the Thousand Hands clan, it is not only hard and sharp, but also powerful and heavy. It can crush an opponent with its own weight alone."

She gave a soft hum and crossed her arms as she spoke.

"Oh? So, this is a weapon that uses its own weight to suppress the enemy?"

Kisame was surprised upon hearing this, and this time he wasn't faking it. So, the Thousand Hands Greatsword must be made of some kind of steel with exceptionally high density; its "heavy" nature is its defining characteristic.

"Alright, you said you wanted to take a look, and you've probably seen enough. I should put it away now."

As Tsunade spoke, she performed hand seals, attempting to retrieve the Thousand Hands Greatsword from the scroll.

"and many more."

Kisame immediately reached out to stop him, his eyes flashing. "Could I touch this sword? I'm really curious about how heavy it is. Don't worry, I'll just touch it; I won't do anything underhanded."

"Do you think I'd believe you?" Tsunade said coldly.

"The Slug Sage heard what I said, so how about letting it be a witness? You don't even trust a live slug, do you?" Kisame retorted.

Tsunade glanced at Kisame suspiciously, then at the adorable-looking slug beside her, and finally nodded reluctantly.

She wanted to see what kind of trouble Kisame could possibly cause.

And so, under Tsunade's unwavering gaze, Kisame's large hands reached for the broad hilt of the Thousand Hands Greatsword and grasped it.

It was indeed very heavy.

He tried to weigh it in his hand, but couldn't even lift it off the ground; it was more than ten times heavier than a regular weapon.

"rise."

Kisame let out a low shout and exerted his strength again, finally pulling the Thousand Hands Greatsword from the ground. Holding it in his hand, he felt a heavy weight on it.

Swish. Swish.

He gripped the giant sword and casually swung it a couple of times, the air whistling and the power astonishing wherever the blade passed.

"Have you had enough fun?" Tsunade asked coldly.

"That's enough." Kisame chuckled, then put down the greatsword, intending to return it to Tsunade. But at that moment, he secretly activated the cheat device in his mind.

next second.

buzzing.

The Thousand Hands Greatsword in Kisame's hand suddenly trembled violently, its blade emitting a dazzling light, as if undergoing some incredible transformation.

"How is this going?"

Before Tsunade could even ask a question, Kisame's eyes widened in terror as he shouted, "This sword is absorbing my chakra! My power is draining away!"

Seeing Kisame's panicked state, Tsunade was also completely bewildered. After regaining her senses, she quickly shouted at him:

"What did you do to it? Let go!"

"I can't do anything! This sword has its sights on me and is frantically devouring my chakra. Please, get it away from me!"

Kisame roared at Tsunade, and as soon as he finished speaking, he knelt down on one knee with a thud. Cold sweat beaded on his forehead, and his face looked pale and weak.

His acting skills are superb.

"This……"

Tsunade was completely bewildered by Kisame. Looking at the Thousand Hands Greatsword, which was shining even brighter, she didn't dare to go forward easily. She could only turn to the live slug beside her and ask it for help.

The slug shook its head quickly, indicating that it hadn't noticed anything amiss and didn't know what was going on.

Just then.

call out.

The Thousand Hands Greatsword in Kisame's hand suddenly transformed into a stream of light, flowing along his palm and into his body. Unlike his previous absorption of ninja tools, this stream of light did not remain in one part of Kisame's body, but instead dispersed and merged into every cell throughout his body.

Ah, that feels good.

Kisame immediately felt a surge of power within him, and his physique became stronger. His chest, abdominal, and back muscles visibly grew larger.

"you……"

Even if Tsunade were stupid, she could vaguely guess what had happened when she saw this.

No wonder this guy has always coveted the Thousand Hands Greatsword; it turns out he can directly absorb this ninja tool into his body and turn it into his own power!

At that moment, Tsunade realized the secret to Kisame's power.

"asshole!"

Upon realizing she had been tricked, she immediately flew into a rage and punched Kisame.

Snapped.

Kisame raised a large hand, firmly enveloping Tsunade's fist, preventing it from advancing an inch. Then, he raised his other hand, clenched his fist, and punched out heavily.

boom!

In a panic, Tsunade hastily parried, only to feel an overwhelming force coming from Kisame's fist, and was immediately sent flying backward.

call out.

Her voluptuous body traced a graceful arc through the air before finally plunging into the hot spring in the center of the Wet Bone Forest with a splash, becoming completely soaked.

"This feels really good."

Kisame stared at his fist, his eyes gleaming. After absorbing the Thousand Hands Greatsword, he had used its "heavy" nature to enhance his muscle density, more than doubling his weight.

Now, he weighs nearly a thousand pounds, so his punches are naturally becoming more and more powerful and heavy, making it difficult even for Tsunade to defend against them.

He arrived at the hot spring and saw Tsunade, soaking wet, struggling to climb ashore.

"Are you OK?"

Kisame bent down and stretched out a large hand towards her, unintentionally enjoying a feast for the eyes.

Snapped.

Tsunade slapped Kisame's hand away, glared at him fiercely, and then walked past him without saying a word into the small wooden house not far away.

A moment later, she changed into dry clothes, packed her things, and came out. Then, she stood before Kisame again, looked up, and stared directly into his eyes.

"Kisame Hoshigaki, we've settled our score. On a personal level, I owe you nothing. I'm going back to Kirigakure to help them establish a medical ninja system as agreed. After that, we'll go our separate ways. I hope you won't stop me then."

After saying these words to Kisame, without waiting for his response, she turned and walked to the live slug, warning it, "Be careful of Kisame Hoshigaki, that guy has ulterior motives towards you."

Then, she performed a spell and formed hand seals, and with a "pop," she turned into white smoke and returned to the ninja world.

"Lord Kisame, Lady Tsunade seems angry. Aren't you going to chase after her and see?" Katsuyu asked anxiously.

"Women are normal to throw tantrums occasionally. Don't worry about her, she'll be fine on her own in a few days."

Kisame shrugged indifferently, showing no hurry to leave. Instead, he approached the live slug and said, "I have some questions I'd like to ask you..."

He wasn't deliberately trying to find topics to get closer to the live slug; he genuinely wanted to ask it questions, such as how its true form evolved into such a colossal creature that roams the Wet Bone Forest.

The valuable experience of the live slug will undoubtedly be of great reference value for Kisame in realizing his own evolutionary dream.

So, for the next period of time, Kisame stayed in Shikkotsu Forest, learning from the Slug Sage and gaining much knowledge from him.

In this process, Kisame gained a clearer understanding of his future goals and became even more determined to "no longer be human," vowing to evolve into a great, ultimate being.

half a month later.

Kisame bid farewell to the Slug Sage and returned to Kirigakure from Shikkotsu Forest, since Orochimaru should be back by now.

Outside the Water Shadow Building.

Kisame didn't see Orochimaru, but he did see another familiar face first, a boy with long black hair.

It's Yamato.

"You haven't left yet? It seems you've already made your decision." Kisame stared at the boy in front of him. The boy had experienced too many hardships and setbacks at such a young age, which gave him a precocious air that far exceeded that of his peers.

"Yes, Lord Kisame, I wish to stay in Kirigakure and become a part of it. Please grant my request, I beg you."

Yamato's expression was solemn and serious as he spoke, bowing deeply to Kisame.

During his stay in the Hidden Mist Village, he discovered that it was completely different from the legendary Blood Mist Village, and instead implemented a policy of peaceful development.

Despite the fact that Kisame killed the daimyo, which led to the Land of Water losing diplomatic ties with other countries and Kirigakure being boycotted by all the major ninja villages, cutting off all economic and cultural exchanges.

However, since Kisame reunified the Land of Water and ended the country's long-standing internal strife, Kirigakure did not fall into decline during this period; instead, it was revitalized.

The village is thriving and prosperous.

This place is far better than the Konoha Root where Yamato once lived. Compared to the dark, dreary life he led in the past, Kirigakure can almost be considered paradise.

Therefore, Yamato ultimately decided to stay.

"Come with me."

Kisame walked past Yamato, patted him on the shoulder, said those words, and then walked into the Mizukage Building.

After entering the office, Kisame lay back in the comfortable office chair, about to notify Yekura to come see him, when he suddenly heard a cracking sound from beneath him, and the chair broke from his sitting.

He then realized that after absorbing the Thousand Hands Greatsword, his weight had reached nearly a thousand pounds, and ordinary chairs, sofas, and beds would probably no longer be able to support his weight.
