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

As Kisame released his grip, Raiga Kurosuki fell backward with a "bang".

"Why, why..."

Before he lost consciousness, he used his last bit of strength to speak with difficulty.

Kisame stood in the cold moonlight, expressionless, looking down at Raiga Kurosuki, his eyes radiating a primal, animalistic wildness.

He was a completely different person from the loyal subordinate he had been a moment before.

"You made me cannon fodder just to save your own life, so it's perfectly reasonable for me to kill you."

Kisame spoke slowly, watching as Raiga Kurosuki's pupils gradually blurred until they lost focus and he died completely.

In his past life, he was a villain who was blindly loyal.

Having been given a second chance at life, Kisame doesn't mind continuing to be a villain, but he will no longer be blindly loyal.

Always faithfully carry out orders from superiors, regardless of time, place, or circumstance.

Heh, aren't superiors just there to be eliminated?

Not only Raiga Kurosuki in front of him, but also his future superior Suigetsu Hozuki, as well as Obito Uchiha and the Akatsuki organization.

Every single one of them is a potential assassination target for Kisame.

Looking back on his past life, apart from Kisame Hoshigaki, no one in the entire Akatsuki organization was truly dedicated to the organization; they were all either scheming or traitors.

How can you possibly succeed in your career if you're hanging around with these scoundrels?

He might as well go it alone and follow the solitary path of a villain to the very end.

I pulled myself back to reality.

Kisame's gaze fell on the Raito Kiba lying on the ground.

He picked up the pair of swords, examined them closely, and admired the smooth curves of the blades and their sharp edges.

The Lightning Blade Fang can not only create and attract lightning, but also has a special enhancement effect on Lightning Release ninjutsu, making it a weapon that Lightning Release ninjas dream of.

Among the seven ninja swords of Kirigakure, it may not be as good as the best Samehada and Hiramekarei, but it is still much better than the Kubikiribōchō, which is useless except for its cool appearance.

For Kisame, having such a substitute before obtaining Samehada is not bad.

Unfortunately, Kisame wasn't a Lightning Release ninja, and like Raiga Kurosuki, he was destined to be unable to unleash the full power of his Lightning Blade, Kiba. Furthermore, he could only use the swords secretly; if the villagers discovered him, he'd be in serious trouble.

Thinking of this, Kisame frowned and fell into deep thought.

Just then, a "ding" sound suddenly rang in Kisame's mind.

He was immediately stunned, because he was very familiar with the voice from his previous life when he often played single-player games.

It's a cheat device.

Kisame discovered that in his mind, the cheat device was shaped like an adorable panda head with its mouth open, looking like it was about to be fed.

Pandas, also known as rolling pandas or iron-eating beasts, are a type of animal that eats iron.

The function of this cheat device is simple: it devours ninja tools with special abilities, integrates them into Kisame's body, and thus helps him complete his evolution.

Just now, Kisame activated this cheat code within his body when he picked up the Raito Kiba.

Having a cheat code makes things much easier.

After all, in the Naruto world where everyone has cheat codes, an ordinary ninja would find it extremely difficult to get by.

Kisame didn't hesitate for long. He raised his twin swords, his gaze sharpened, and he activated the Iron-Eating Beast's ability.

buzzing.

The blade of the Thunder Blade Fang suddenly trembled violently and emitted dazzling lightning, as if it already knew its fate of being devoured, and therefore desperately tried to break free.

"Resistance is futile. You might as well enjoy it, merge with me, and become that ultimate being together."

Kisame gently stroked the blade, comforting it with a smile, revealing a set of sharp, gleaming white teeth.

Just a few seconds later.

Swoosh.

The Thunder Blade Fang in his hand transformed into a dazzling stream of light and disappeared into his body.

Kisame shuddered.

He could feel the stream of light travel around his body, from his arms to his torso and then to his legs, as if it were looking for a place to settle down.

Finally, it stopped in a place that Kisame had never expected—

butt.

3. Evolved Shark Tail Lightning Whip

"Fizz!"

Kisame suddenly gasped, his pupils shrinking to the size of mung beans, and cold sweat pouring down his face.

With a sharp pain in his buttocks, Kisame groaned and arched his body. Then, with a "poof," a tail grew out of his body.

This is a grayish-brown swordtail, more than a meter long, with two tail fins at the back, immediately reminding one of a shark's tail.

However, the shark's tail is also covered with silver lightning patterns, and its entire body is wrapped in lightning, making it look deadly and dangerous.

This is... Shark Tail Lightning Whip.

"Roar."

Kisame felt a surge of violent power within him that urgently needed to be released, so he let out a beast-like roar and, driven by instinct, swung his shark tail.

Click.

With a crisp sound, a tree as thick as a bucket was snapped in half by the shark's tail and fell down with a crash.

Immediately afterwards, a large blue stone, taller than a person, was also shattered by Kisame's tail, breaking into countless small stones that shot out in all directions and scattered all over the ground.

Such powerful strength.

It seems that, with the help of the cheat device "Iron Eater", Raito Kiba not only successfully fused with Kisame and became part of his body, but also completely retained his own characteristics and power.

As for the price Kisame paid for this...

Aside from the pain in my buttocks, my appearance has become even more "inhuman".

However, he looks more like a shark than a human, so it doesn't really matter.

If becoming "non-human" is the price to pay for power, then Kisame Hoshigaki... might as well just stop being human!

The only problem is that if we drag this tail back to Kirigakure, it will inevitably cause some shock and controversy.

At this time.

Kisame suddenly had a thought and consciously contracted his sphincter muscles, and a miraculous scene immediately occurred.

call out.

His Shark Tail Lightning Whip, like a python entering its cave, retracted into his body at an extremely fast speed, completely concealing itself.

It turns out that this is a tail that can extend and retract freely.

Kisame couldn't help but show a look of joy.

His first thought was to engage in close-quarters combat with the enemy, and when things reached a stalemate, launch a surprise attack with his shark tail to strike the opponent's vital points.

This tail allows Kisame to unleash the full potential of the unrestricted fighting techniques he learned in his previous life.

It's time to get out of here.

After a brief moment of thought, Kisame decided to dispose of Raiga Kurosuki's body and then return to Kirigakure to continue working as a genin.

Because the remaining six ninja swords of Kirigakure are his next target.

However, perhaps because he had made too much noise, the enemy had already quietly come knocking.

call out!

A blazing fireball the size of a human head streaked across the moonlit forest in a lightning arc as it hurtled toward Kisame.

Ok?

Kisame was startled. He grabbed the corpse of Raiga Kurosuki, which was lying nearby, and threw it out. It collided with the fireball flying towards him.

Chi Chi.

With a burst of white steam, the moisture in Raiga Kurosuki's body was instantly evaporated, turning him into a dried corpse, which floated lightly to the ground.

The next second, the aloof and cool-looking Pakura with her Scorching Release technique appeared from the darkness.

She recognized the Kisame before her at a glance as the little devil who had jumped off the dam to escape. But what truly astonished her was—

"You killed your superior?"

Ye Cang's voice was cold, his brows slightly furrowed as he gazed at the enigmatic, mist-like boy hidden in the mist.

She knew that Raiga Kurosuki was already dead long before she made her move.

When confronted by Yekura, Kisame remained silent, neither admitting nor denying, leaving it to the other party to speculate.

He hesitated, wondering whether he should make a move against the woman.

Considering that Pakura is an elite Jonin with a bloodline limit and many allies, even if he has just obtained the Shark Tail Lightning Whip and his strength has greatly increased, I'm afraid...

He was still no match for her.

So Kisame decided to use the same trick again, unleashing his most powerful move—

You run away!

He spread his arms wide and backed away, giving Ye Cang a smile as he said:

"Scorching Release: Yekura, if I survive, then goodbye."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Kisame reached the edge of the cliff. To Yekura's astonishment, he leaped backward and jumped off.

Whoosh.

Yecang reacted instantly, appearing at the edge of the cliff. Looking down, he saw only a waterfall cascading down and a bottomless abyss.
