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

In this way, as a real man, his stamina is even stronger.

Swish.

Kisame retracted his fangs, returned to his normal appearance, and licked his lips with lingering satisfaction.

Surprisingly, Hozuki Mangetsu's blood is quite delicious.

He looked at the unfortunate fellow.

At this time, Hozuki Mangetsu, having endured Kisame's repeated torment, was already listless and dispirited.

Judging from his weak and feeble appearance, it will probably be difficult to get any useful information out of him.

Kisame stared at Hozuki Mangetsu for a while before speaking:

"I thought that as the disciple of the Third Mizukage, you were probably controlled by genjutsu like him. But now it seems that's not the case."

"What did you say?! The teacher has been... controlled by illusion magic?"

Upon hearing this, Hozuki Mangetsu suddenly widened his eyes and excitedly shouted at Kisame, "You also noticed that the Third Mizukage has a problem?"

31. Hozuki Slime Full Moon

"Oh? It seems you've been doubting your teacher for a while now."

Kisame was somewhat surprised.

"Kisame, Boss Kisame, Big Brother... please spare my life! I promise to keep your secret and won't tell anyone. Besides, I can get you the rest of the ninja swords—Hiramekarei, Samehada, Kabuto—I can get them all for you!"

Hozuki Mangetsu suddenly burst forth with a powerful will to survive, desperately begging Kisame to spare his life.

His only wish was that Kisame would work with him to find out what happened to his teacher, the Third Mizukage.

Kisame was silent for a while, seemingly seriously considering Hozuki Mangetsu's words.

He suddenly remembered that the reason why Hozuki Mangetsu died young in the original work was because he discovered the abnormality of the Third Mizukage and was unfortunately killed by Uchiha Madara during the investigation.

That's very likely.

With that thought in mind, Kisame made a decision.

“I agree. However, you must consume this before we form an alliance.”

As he said this, he paused for a moment, then opened his mouth and vomited out a clump of sticky, monstrous cells.

"Open your mouth."

Kisame held the monster cell to Hozuki Mangetsu's mouth, threatening to kill him on the spot if he tried anything funny.

Hozuki Mangetsu's expression changed as he looked at the wriggling, strange cell. Although he didn't know what it was, he was sure it wasn't anything good.

But he had no choice.

So, Hozuki Mangetsu didn't even dare to ask a question before opening his mouth and swallowing the monster cell.

Gudong.

He had barely swallowed the cluster of cells when a thunderous rumbling sound came from his stomach, and Hozuki Mangetsu's expression turned to extreme pain.

She looked much the same as Yekura did back then.

"Boss Ghost, what's going on? I feel like all the organs in my body are melting..."

Despite enduring excruciating pain, Hozuki Mangetsu managed to speak with difficulty, asking Kisame for help.

"This is a good thing. If you can get through this, you will be able to evolve into a more advanced creature."

Kisame stared intently at Hozuki Mangetsu, carefully observing the process of his mutation, not missing a single detail. For him, this was a rare opportunity to study monster cells and the principles of evolution.

"My hands, my feet, and my face... No!"

Just then, Hozuki Mangetsu let out another terrified scream, because his body was melting into clumps of flowing white liquid like a burning candle.

This melting was not caused by his deliberate use of water-based techniques, but rather by an irreversible transformation.

Once it happens, it can never be restored to its original state.

"Help, help!"

Within minutes, Hozuki Mangetsu's entire body melted away, leaving only his mouth still babbling incoherently.

But soon, his mouth also met its fate, enveloped by the surrounding white liquid and melting away with a hissing sound.

After that, the clump of white, soft mud, weighing several tens of kilograms, began to wriggle on the ground, seemingly undergoing some kind of reorganization.

interesting.

Kisame stared at the muddy puddle beneath his feet, waiting patiently, knowing the night was still long.

One minute, five minutes, ten minutes...

After struggling for a while, the white, soft mud fell silent.

One hour, three hours, five hours...

Until midnight.

Only then did things start moving again.

The white, soft clay began to move, transforming into an ellipsoid with a narrow top...

Under Kisame's gaze, first a pair of black eyes appeared on the sphere, then a large mouth. Finally, two sticky little hands stretched out from the sides.

I must say, she's actually quite cute.

"Your eyes seem a little crooked; let me adjust them."

Just then, Hozuki Mangetsu's familiar voice came, and a small hand reached out to one of the eyes, moved it up, and aligned it with the other eye.

After completing this series of movements, the little thing put its hands on its hips and laughed loudly:

"Hahaha, I, Hozuki Mangetsu, have been reborn!"

Yes, Hozuki Mangetsu has successfully evolved and become a...

White slime.

Both Yekura and Hozuki Mangetsu consumed monster cells, but Yekura only ended up bald, which seems relatively mild compared to Hozuki Mangetsu, who evolved into a non-human creature.

But then again.

If an ordinary person were to become like this, even if they didn't cry and wail or lose all hope, they would at least fall into confusion and question the meaning of life.

But Hozuki Mangetsu actually accepted it quite happily, and even seemed quite pleased.

As expected, the Hozuki clan, from the second generation Hozuki Gengetsu to the brothers Mangetsu and Suigetsu, are all patriarchal optimists.

"Boss Ghost, let me show you what I'm capable of."

Hozuki Mangetsu was very excited. He rubbed his little hands together, quickly formed hand seals, and his whole body swelled up as if it were being inflated.

During this process, its body color gradually faded, changing from the initial milky white to a nearly transparent color.

Finally, what appeared before Kisame was a water giant that was three meters tall.

It let out a ghostly howl and charged into the nearby woods, punching and kicking like a bulldozer, knocking down tree after tree.

Each of this water giant's ordinary attacks possesses the same destructive power as the Great Water Arm Technique.

Then, the water giant stopped, formed hand seals again, and exploded with a "bang," splitting into hundreds and thousands of miniature slimes.

These tiny slime clones scattered in all directions through the woods and quickly disappeared without a trace.

Soon after, they reappeared and came together, returning to their original form.

"Hahaha, I, Hozuki Mangetsu, am now invincible!"

Hozuki Mangetsu, hands on her hips, laughed even more wildly, gradually giving up on thinking.

Kisame watched this guy smugly with a calm expression.

It now appears that Hozuki Mangetsu's evolution has taken the Hozuki clan's water manipulation technique a step further, permanently turning them into a pool of fluid.

Furthermore, after further investigation, Kisame learned from it that this white mud contained no impurities and, like pure water, could not conduct electricity, so it was naturally not afraid of lightning.

No wonder Hozuki Mangetsu swelled up and shouted that he was invincible.

"Since you're invincible, then I'll show you what I'm capable of."

Kisame noticed that Hozuki Mangetsu's mindset was changing, so he grinned, suddenly raised his right hand, and instantly clenched his five fingers.

Bang!

Caught off guard, Hozuki Mangetsu was attacked from a distance by an unknown force, and his body exploded instantly, scattering across the ground.

It took it quite a while to laboriously wriggle back to its original shape.

"Boss Ghost..."

Hozuki Mangetsu stretched out his little hand and hugged Kisame's leg tightly, revealing a fawning smile, and immediately became obedient.

I dared not have any other thoughts.

32. The idea behind creating the organization

Kisame lowered his head and looked at the slime that was clinging tightly to his leg.

After consuming monster cells and undergoing evolution, Hozuki Mangetsu's strength did indeed experience a qualitative leap:

It possesses strong survivability and defensive capabilities, as well as considerable offensive capabilities. In particular, its slime form has a unique advantage when carrying out missions such as infiltration, reconnaissance, assassination, and ambush.

However, this guy is far from being "invincible".

Besides Kisame being able to defeat him, some special ninjutsu, such as powerful sealing techniques, are also Hozuki Mangetsu's nemesis.

"Let's talk in my room."

Kisame left those words behind and turned to enter the wooden house.

The white slime quickly followed.
