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

Kisame gave a one-sentence self-introduction.

"Really? I want to take the Chunin Exams too, hehe."

Matt Kai's eyes widened, and he quickly gave his name, then laughed heartily, revealing two rows of clean, white teeth.

"That's such a coincidence."

Kisame smiled back and casually asked, "Were you doing running training just now?"

"Yes, the Chunin Exams are about to begin, and I need to prepare myself and get my body into top condition."

Might Guy said, somewhat embarrassed, rubbing his nose. "Actually, I became a genin four years ago, but I failed the Chunin Exams several times, so I have to work even harder. After all, Kakashi became a Chunin at the age of six."

As he said this, he clenched his fist, his gaze hardening, and a fierce fighting spirit ignited within him.

"I've heard of Kakashi, the genius son of Konoha's White Fang. He's actually your friend?"

Kisame asked, feigning surprise.

"He is my friend, and also my rival."

Matt Kai answered with a proud look on his face.

Seeing that the time was right, Kisame suggested:

"Are you still going to run? I'd also like to train in taijutsu. How about we run and chat? I'm new here and there are many things I'm not familiar with in Konoha. I'd like to ask you for advice."

"Okay."

Matt Kai's eyes lit up, and he readily agreed.

He was looked down upon by many people in the village and spent most of his time training alone. Apart from Kakashi, he didn't have any close friends.

Kai was very happy to be able to train with Kisame, a complete stranger he had just met.

So the two of them started running laps around Konoha Village.

One lap, five laps, ten laps.

"Go ahead and speed up, don't worry, I'll definitely be able to keep up."

When Kisame reached the eleventh lap, he was still breathing steadily and said to Might Guy with a relaxed expression.

"Okay, then I'll have to sprint faster."

Upon hearing this, Might Guy's competitive spirit was also ignited, and he made a bet with Kisame to see who could finish fifty laps first.

Two figures moved through Konoha Village like lightning.

In the end, Kisame prevailed, reaching the training ground at the finish line first and winning the race.

"Whew, whew... You're amazing!"

Might Guy, panting, gave Kisame a thumbs-up.

"Kai, you've been doing too much cardio, which makes it hard to build muscle. That's why you lack explosive power and lost to me in the final sprint. If you add more weight training, you'll become stronger."

Kisame helped Kai summarize the lessons learned from the failure and offered him advice.

Kai nodded vigorously, deeply agreeing.

He had noticed Kisame's physique long ago; his upper body muscles, which looked like they were cast in steel, and his strong, powerful thighs were both perfect.

When he learned that this burly man, who was nearly 1.9 meters tall, was only thirteen years old, less than two years older than him, Matt Kai was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

"Kisame-senpai, could you teach me?"

He suddenly made up his mind, stuck out his buttocks, bowed ninety degrees to Kisame, and asked with a nervous expression.

36. Only cowards choose suicide.

Training Course.

"Lower your butt a little more, your squat is not proper at all."

"Remember, starting today, stop focusing on the number of exercises like you used to. I don't care if you do two thousand push-ups, three thousand squats, or five thousand leg kicks. These numbers are useless except for making you look like you're working hard."

"Yes, slow down. I want you to do a slow squat in two minutes. The same goes for the other exercises."

"..."

Kisame transforms into a fitness coach, correcting Might Guy's mistakes in his daily workouts one by one.

Might Guy's family was poor and they couldn't afford to go to the gym, so Kisame taught him bodyweight-based fitness methods.

This is also known as "convict fitness".

"Next, do five minutes of slow push-ups, one hand."

Kisame presented Kai with a test.

Under his guidance, Matthias placed his left hand behind his back, supported himself with his right hand on the ground, and kept all his muscles taut as he descended at a slow and steady pace.

Once you reach the lowest point, hold that position for thirty seconds.

Then it rises slowly and steadily, returning to its original position.

During this process, Matt Kai's face gradually turned red, and his whole body was trembling, clearly indicating that he was not having enough control over his muscles.

It was a long and difficult process to finish.

"How are you feeling?" Kisame asked.

"Kisame-senpai, I only did one push-up, but I felt more tired than when I do hundreds. This training method is amazing."

Matt Kai looked surprised, his fatigue mixed with excitement.

Physically exhausted, but mentally excited.

He could sense that, although the time was short, he had indeed become a little stronger under Kisame's guidance.

"I'm only two years older than you, so there's no need for the title of senior. Just call me big brother," Kisame said calmly.

"Okay, big brother."

Matt Kai immediately stood at attention and replied.

Just then, Kai caught a glimpse of a familiar figure in the distance.

"Kakashi, what brings you here?"

He exclaimed in surprise.

Oh?

Kisame also turned around and looked in the direction of Kai's gaze toward the entrance to the training ground.

It was a boy with white hair, wearing a black mask, and about 1.5 meters tall.

Since the mask covers the nose, which has the greatest impact on appearance, as well as the lips and chin, it's hard to say whether he looks ugly or handsome.

However, he has a cool vibe, which is probably the type most young girls would like.

"Kai, didn't you say you were looking for me?"

Kakashi walked over with his hands in his pockets and said coldly.

His attitude was indifferent; he didn't even glance at Kisame beside him, as if the latter were invisible.

Ignore it completely.

"Oh dear, I almost forgot."

Might Guy slapped his forehead, only then remembering that he had made an appointment with Kakashi to ask the latter for advice on participating in the Chunin Exams.

"I don't have much time, only ten minutes."

After Kakashi finished speaking, he gestured for Guy to follow him to a quieter place nearby.

"Oh, right, this is Kisame from Kirigakure. He's also here to take the Chunin Exams. Why don't you tell him about the Chunin Exams too?"

Kai, however, enthusiastically pulled Kisame along and introduced him to Kakashi.

Kakashi frowned, about to refuse, but Kisame spoke first:

"No need, I have something to do and need to go back to the hotel first."

"It's alright, Kisame-nii. I'll write down everything Kakashi said. I'll organize it into notes and give it to you at the hotel later."

As Matt Kai spoke, he took out a pen and paper.

Upon hearing this, Kisame smiled and patted Kai on the shoulder, expressing his gratitude for the latter's kindness.

Then, he glanced at Kakashi and suddenly spoke to him:

"I had long heard of the great name of Konoha's White Fang, Hatake Sakumo."

The techniques of Hatake swordsmanship may seem ordinary, but they are simple and efficient, aiming to defeat the enemy in one move, without any fancy tricks.

This concept aligns perfectly with my unlimited taijutsu, which is why I've long wanted to come to Konoha to learn from it.

but……"

At this point, Kisame changed the subject and sighed with some regret, "It's a pity that Sakumo was too weak-willed and had too poor mental fortitude. He actually committed suicide because of a few rumors from the villagers."

"What did you say?"

Kakashi felt a sudden pang of pain in his heart and stared at Kisame with an icy gaze, instantly creating a tense atmosphere.

His father, Hatake Sakumo, was a great and extraordinary ninja.

However, during a mission, his father chose to abandon the mission to save his comrade, resulting in huge losses for the village. As a result, Sakumo was hated by the villagers, and even the comrade he had saved turned around and blamed him, ultimately leading him to commit suicide due to unbearable pressure.

The loss of his father at a young age was a huge blow to Kakashi, causing him to shut down his inner emotions and become a cold, rational, and unsmiling person.

There's a term called "dead-mother face," which describes someone's expression as ugly as if their mother has died.

Kakashi experienced the early death of his mother and the suicide of his father, so he often has this expression on his face.

And it's twice as deadly.

but.

Although Kakashi harbored resentment towards his father for committing suicide and abandoning him, he would never allow anyone to slander his father.
