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

Kisame raised his sword to meet the enemy, but the fine steel ninja sword that had been with him for many years broke instantly.

Ding Deng Deng.

Under the immense impact, Kisame staggered back more than a dozen steps, blood gushing from his tiger's mouth.

Do you recognize this knife?

Hozuki Mangetsu raised his chin, held up his large sword, and pointed the tip at Kisame from afar.

"Of course I know him."

Kisame tossed aside the broken blade in his hand, looked at Hozuki Mangetsu's greatsword, and slowly said:

"Broken Blade - Decapitation Blade. This blade is 2.5 meters long and extremely heavy, making it impossible for an ordinary person to wield. Even more peculiar is its ability to absorb iron from the blood of enemies during battle, thus repairing itself and making it a blade that will never break."

"Hehe, it seems you know a lot about this."

Hozuki Mangetsu nodded and said boastfully, "I had to beg and plead with the Third Mizukage to finally persuade Kizo Biwa to lend it to me temporarily."

I'm going to take this Executioner's Blade to the Chunin Exams, sweep away all the Konoha ninjas, and take first place without any doubt.

But before that, let's use you as a test subject!

Upon hearing this, Kisame suddenly started laughing as well.

"I was wondering why you didn't bring a gift when you came to celebrate my birthday. Turns out I misunderstood you."

He stared at the guillotine in Hozuki Mangetsu's hand, revealing two rows of white teeth, and at that moment he smiled like a two-hundred-pound child.

30. Don't come any closer!

Wooden houses by the river at night.

Kisame Hoshigaki and Mangetsu Hozuki are locked in a standoff.

"Before I defected from Kirigakure, I had acquired a total of four ninja swords, including this Executioner's Blade, which was quite a haul."

Kisame brazenly examined the large sword in his opponent's hand, dropping all pretense and revealing his hand.

"It was you who did it!"

Hozuki Mangetsu's expression changed, and he said coldly, "You're courting death!"

Before he finished speaking, he rushed forward with a whoosh, raising his decapitation sword and slashing down.

clang!

Kisame didn't even try to dodge. He raised his left arm and used his flesh and blood to block the blow. The guillotine struck his left arm, the metal clanging and sparks flying.

what? !

Hozuki Mangetsu was greatly surprised.

"Explosive Blade: Flying Droplet has become my left arm, look."

Kisame smiled, opened his palm, and showed the other person the character "爆" (explosion) on his palm.

Boom!

A violent explosion occurred at close range.

Caught off guard, Hozuki Mangetsu was sent flying, sword and all, before he could even regain his footing—

call out.

Kisame flicked his finger, and the needle shot out like lightning, piercing straight through Hozuki Mangetsu's forehead and instantly piercing the latter's brain.

Fortunately, the water transformation technique was activated in time.

Hozuki Mangetsu's head turned into a puddle of water, thus avoiding the fatal blow.

That was close.

He was filled with lingering fear and broke out in a cold sweat.

But he forgot that the decapitation sword could not be watered.

Kisame's target was not Hozuki Mangetsu from the beginning, but the sword in the latter's hand.

Swish swish.

The sewing needle danced around the Executioner's Blade, and the chakra thread at the end of the needle quickly wrapped around the blade more than a dozen times. Then, Kisame pulled hard and snatched it from Hozuki Mangetsu's hand.

"Is that a long knife and a sewing needle?"

Hozuki Mangetsu stared at Kisame's right index finger and said in a deep voice, his expression growing increasingly grim.

Kisame didn't reply. He simply picked up the guillotine he had just acquired, took a step, and was in front of Hozuki Mangetsu in a single stride, slashing horizontally.

Splash!

The unarmed Hozuki Mangetsu was instantly cut in half at the waist by Kisame, turning into water droplets that splashed everywhere.

Ok?

Kisame frowned.

This is not a water transformation technique, but rather... a water clone.

"Kisame Hoshigaki, you're finished."

With a cold laugh, Hozuki Mangetsu's true form silently appeared behind Kisame, raising one hand as if it were a pistol and pointing it at Kisame's temple.

He is about to unleash the water cannon technique.

This is also a secret technique passed down through generations of the Hozuki clan. It involves shooting out a liquid like a bullet from the tip of the index finger, which can easily destroy anything.

Most importantly, it can be activated without hand seals.

At such close range, no enemy could dodge such an instantaneous ninjutsu.

But Kisame had already anticipated this.

Ever since he first met Hozuki Mangetsu, he had been prepared to fight to the death with him, and had mentally simulated the battle dozens of times in advance.

All possibilities have been calculated.

"is it?"

Without turning his head, Kisame unleashed his Shark Tail Lightning Whip, which shot out from behind him like a dragon emerging from the sea. With immense force, crackling with dazzling silver electricity, it slammed towards Hozuki Mangetsu's crotch.

not good!

Hozuki Mangetsu didn't expect Kisame to act faster than him. He immediately felt a chill in his lower body and activated his body water transformation technique without hesitation.

Unfortunately, he wasn't so lucky this time.

The only weakness of the Water Transformation Technique is Lightning Release ninjutsu, whose paralyzing effect prevents it from fully liquefying.

sizzle.

The Shark Tail Lightning Whip struck the bullseye, causing Hozuki Mangetsu unbearable pain. His entire body was enveloped in lightning from head to toe, turning him into a glowing skeleton.

He was like a volleyball, hit high into the air, and finally landed on the stone path by the river, half of his body dissolved and half charred by electricity.

It's too late to get back up.

The battle was brief but extremely dangerous, with both sides employing every possible means, but in the end, Kisame had the last laugh.

Kisame glanced in the direction of the village; it was quiet, and it seemed that no one had noticed the commotion.

That's the advantage of living in a remote area.

This way, he would have more time to torture Hozuki Mangetsu before his defection, and might even be able to extract valuable information.

Kisame approached Hozuki Mangetsu and, under the latter's terrified gaze, raised his guillotine.

However, he didn't use it to kill anyone. Instead, he examined the large sword and thought to himself:

"The decapitation sword is really embarrassing. In order to demonstrate its blood-sucking and regenerating properties, this sword has been broken one after another since it appeared, which is why it gives people the impression of being of very poor quality."

In the original story, this great sword broke in the hands of three different owners: Juzo Biwa, Zabuza Momochi, and Suigetsu Hozuki.

Compared to other ninja swords, it does seem quite useless.

However, in traditional and conventional ninja battles, ninja tools such as ninja swords, kunai, and shuriken are easily damaged, and a ninja's combat effectiveness is greatly reduced once he loses his weapon.

However, the decapitation sword can cut people at will. Even if the blade is dull or the body is broken, it can regenerate by absorbing blood. Even when facing an attack of 10,000 people, it can cut people down from head to tail.

This advantage alone is enough to place it among the Seven Ninja Swords.

After examining the ninja sword.

"Thank you for the birthday present. I'll accept it without hesitation."

Kisame glanced at Hozuki Mangetsu, then his gaze sharpened, and he activated the cheat device's ability.

Hozuki Mangetsu stared in disbelief.

buzzing.

The decapitation sword trembled violently and quickly turned into a streak of light, which was swallowed by Kisame.

It swam around inside Kisame's body, seemingly looking for a good place to settle down, but couldn't find a suitable place, and finally returned to his mouth.

Kisame suddenly opened his mouth.

Swish.

Two sharp fangs, more than ten centimeters long, sprang out of his mouth, gleaming with a cold, sharp light.

Kisame looked down at Hozuki Mangetsu and revealed a devilish smile.

"You, you don't come any closer!"

Hozuki Mangetsu was terrified, but all his resistance was in vain. The next second, Kisame grabbed him by the collar and lifted him up like a chick.

puff puff!

Kisame's two fangs pierced Hozuki Mangetsu's body on the spot, and began to suck blood with a gurgling sound.

During this process, the fangs turned bright red, and Kisame's complexion became much rosier, completely erasing the fatigue caused by the battle.

The fangs that Kisame transformed from the Executioner's Blade granted him vampire-like abilities; he could heal his injuries and restore his chakra by drinking fresh blood.
