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

A few seconds later, a figure appeared slowly at the entrance of the alley, hands in pockets, blocking Kisame and the others' path.

He was a long-haired teenager wearing a black suit with the shirt unbuttoned, revealing his chest and abs. He also had a cigarette dangling from his mouth, puffing out smoke, looking quite cool.

He looks like a delinquent.

"Lord Asuma!"

The Konoha genin lying on the ground cried out with joy, as if they had seen a savior.

Asma?

Upon hearing the name, Kisame narrowed his eyes, already recognizing the person's identity.

The delinquent in front of you is the son of the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi. He is a year younger than Kisame, but he is already a Chunin in Konoha.

Sarutobi Asuma was very rebellious in his youth. He smoked, drank, and had early romances. He also had a bad relationship with his Hokage father and even ran away from the village at one point.

"So it's Lord Asuma. I've heard so much about you."

Kisame's expression changed, and he greeted her with a forced smile.

Seeing this, the Konoha members quickly warned, "Lord Asuma, watch out for that shark!"

They were worried that Kisame would use the same trick again.

"You know me?"

Asuma took a step back without making a sound, creating distance between himself and Kisame, then frowned and asked calmly.

As the saying goes, one cannot hit a smiling face. Seeing Kisame's respectful demeanor, Asuma could not directly teach him a lesson before fully understanding the situation.

"Lord Asuma, it's a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding. We'll apologize to our friends in Konoha right away, please calm down."

Kisame spoke with heartfelt sincerity, and even took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and handed one to Asuma.

Don't give me that.

Asma sneered, intending to refuse, but his eyes lit up when he saw the exquisite packaging of the cigarettes. "Your cigarettes are pretty good."

After saying that, he casually took it.

The well-informed Asuma immediately recognized it as the most expensive cigarette in the Konoha store, one that even his Hokage father wouldn't normally smoke.

"Clap."

Kisame took out a lighter and lit Asuma's cigarette.

"How about this?"

Asuma took a satisfied drag, exhaled a smoke ring, and said to Kisame, "I'll be the mediator. You treat those Konoha genin to a meal, pay their medical bills, and that'll be the end of it. After all, it's not a big deal. I often get into fights, and we can still become good friends afterwards."

"We became friends after a fight, that's what I think too. Great minds think alike."

Kisame continued to shower Asuma with compliments, making him feel quite flattered.

The members of Kirigakure were unable to accept what they had witnessed.

"Mad Dog Kisame, why is he suddenly so obsequious? He was just telling us to make Blood Mist Village famous."

Someone murmured.

"Hmph, because Lord Asuma is the son of the Third Hokage and one of the examiners for this Chunin Exams, you guys are doomed."

The Konoha ninja lying on the ground sneered, finally getting his revenge.

These words immediately changed the expressions of the members of the Hidden Mist Village, who looked at each other in bewilderment.

At this time.

Asuma, who was enjoying Kisame's flattery, took another satisfying drag on his cigarette.

But what caught him completely off guard was—

Suddenly, with a "bang," the cigarette in his mouth exploded.

Asuma's mouth split open on the spot, his teeth were blown out, and his face was covered in blood.

good chance.

Kisame seized the opportunity to launch a sneak attack, and with a series of punches, he knocked Asuma to the ground.

"For a Chunin, his vigilance is too poor. Even the Hokage's son is nothing special."

He looked down at Asma with a cold expression, a stark contrast to his previous obsequious demeanor.

"Well……"

Asuma struggled to raise one hand, pointing at Kisame, as if trying to say something, but the excruciating pain in his mouth prevented him from uttering a single word.

Kisame tampered with the cigarette.

After buying the pack of cigarettes, he removed a portion of the tobacco from each cigarette, then used the explosive power of his knife to create an equal number of small firecrackers and put them inside the cigarettes, placing the fuses level with the cigarette butts.

In this way, the pack of cigarettes becomes a hidden weapon. When Kisame hands a cigarette to someone, he can take advantage of the cigarette exploding in the other person's mouth to launch a sneak attack.

Kisame has many of this style and type of hidden weapons.

35. A Fateful Encounter: The Azure Beast

What makes a true ninja?

In Kisame's understanding, a true ninja should not be limited to the training of "ninjutsu", "taijutsu" and "genjutsu", but should train "all techniques".

The so-called "all-powerful techniques" means treating everything as a weapon, whether it's lime, sulfuric acid, pepper spray, everyday pots and pans, or even trees and telephone poles on the street—everything usable can be a weapon.

As long as the enemy can be defeated, that's fine.

"Let's go."

Kisame called out to the members of Kirigakure and then walked out of the alley.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, then caught up and asked worriedly, "Lord Kisame, are you alright? We heard that Asuma is the son of the Third Hokage."

"Don't worry. The older generation won't interfere in the trivial matters between us young people. As the Third Hokage, he can't afford to lose face like that."

After saying this, Kisame went shopping alone.

Regardless of whether Hiruzen Sarutobi would care, Asuma's proud and vain personality would make it impossible for him to tell his father about such a humiliating experience.

They had no choice but to swallow this bitter pill.

Konoha Village is hidden deep in the vast primeval forests of the Land of Fire, covering an area of ​​over several hundred square kilometers.

However, the core urban area of ​​Konoha is not large, only two or three thousand acres, about the size of an ordinary village.

Therefore, land here is extremely valuable, with buildings lining both sides of the streets and a very high population density.

Kisame strolled along Ichiraku Avenue, the most bustling street in Konoha, from north to south, passing the Hokage Building, Ichiraku Ramen, Konoha Police Department Building, and other places, finally arriving at the hot spring town on the banks of the Konoha River.

This is Konoha's most famous commercial street, with clothing stores, barbecue restaurants, casinos, hot springs, ninja tool shops, gyms... it has everything, enough to meet any daily needs of the villagers.

Today is the weekend.

The streets were packed with people; in the most crowded places, it was impossible to move. The noise of the crowd reached the heavens.

As expected of the top of the five great ninja villages, it is much more lively than Kisame's hometown, Kirigakure.

Kisame, dressed as a ninja and carrying a ninja sword, walked among the crowd. His unique appearance and aura intimidated people, making them afraid to approach him.

"Mom, look at that person, they look so strange."

A little girl, about four or five years old, stared at Kisame as he passed by, then quickly pointed to his face and asked her mother with a curious expression.

Upon hearing this, Kisame turned his head, grinned at the little girl, and revealed a pair of fangs that gleamed with a cold light.

"Waaaah..." The little girl burst into tears on the spot.

"sorry."

The little girl's mother kept apologizing to Kisame while scolding her child, telling her not to point at others casually, as it was very impolite.

"It's ok."

Kisame waved his hand. He was used to being a villain, so he naturally didn't care about the opinions of those around him.

However, Kisame soon discovered that there was another person who was just as disliked as him.

A green figure appeared on the riverbank embankment and quickly approached from a distance.

He was a boy of about ten years old, with a big nose, thick eyebrows, a bowl cut, and a resolute face. He was wearing a green bodysuit and had a white towel around his neck, and he was running along the riverbank, sweating profusely.

Might Guy, the future blue beast of Konoha.

Ah, youth!

As Matt Kai ran, he shouted slogans, full of energy and fighting spirit.

However, his overly excited state and bizarre attire also frightened many people, who avoided him like the plague, as if they were looking at a big fool.

Matt Kai was completely oblivious to the disapproving looks from passersby, or rather, he was too oblivious to notice them at all.

Kisame showed an interested expression.

He suddenly jumped over the fence, leaped off the bridge, and landed on the embankment.

"careful!"

Might Guy yelled, but couldn't brake in time, and collided head-on with Kisame.

Thump thump.

Kisame took two steps back.

Mighty, however, lost his balance due to inertia and flew forward, tumbling several times in the air before finally crashing into a tree by the roadside.

Are you alright?

Kisame walked over and reached out to help Might Guy up.

"I'm sorry, I was going too fast and accidentally bumped into you. But you're really sturdy, like a small mountain."

Might Guy scratched the back of his head, apologized to Kisame, and at the same time looked at the latter's muscles with surprise.

"Hello, I am Kisame Hoshigaki, a genin from Kirigakure. I've come to Konoha to participate in the Chunin Exams."
