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

next second.

boom!

He was sent flying backward by Kimimaro's punch at an even faster speed, falling at Itachi's feet.

295. Kimimaro VS Itachi

Sold out instantly.

In a fit of rage, Sasuke couldn't even last a single move against Kimimaro; he was sent flying in a single exchange.

"hateful!"

Sasuke felt utterly humiliated. When he looked up again, the pupils of his eyes had turned blood red, forming a single tomoe pattern.

He was able to awaken the Sharingan at such a young age. Although Sasuke's talent is not as great as his brother Itachi's, he is definitely a genius who appears once in a decade.

Whoosh.

Sasuke charged toward Kimimaro again. During the process, their eyes met in mid-air, and Sasuke's gaze sharpened as he seized the opportunity to unleash a genjutsu on Kimimaro.

"How dare you look directly into the Sharingan? What an idiot."

Sasuke thought to himself, feeling quite pleased with himself, when he suddenly realized that Kimimaro, despite being under a genjutsu, seemed completely unaffected.

"It's best not to embarrass yourself by using such childish illusions."

Kimimaro scoffed, flashing past Sasuke and delivering a punch to the latter's stomach.

With a thud, Zuo Zhu collapsed to the ground, clutching his stomach, and wouldn't be able to get up for a while.

Seeing his younger brother defeated, Itachi frowned and asked Kimimaro in a cold voice, "Which village are you a ninja from?"

“My background is not important. You only need to know that I came to Konoha to challenge the strong. My original target was Naruto Uzumaki, but his performance disappointed me greatly. As for you, Itachi Uchiha, perhaps you can make my trip worthwhile.”

Kimimaro stared intently at Itachi, radiating a strong fighting spirit.

"I have no interest in fighting you."

When faced with the belligerent Kimimaro, Itachi shook his head.

He was a precocious boy who joined the Anbu at a young age and became a Jonin of Konoha, already past the age of being competitive and warlike.

Although Sasuke was beaten by Kimimaro, Itachi believed that Sasuke was overestimating himself by challenging a powerful opponent, which is why he was injured, rather than because the opponent bullied him.

Under these circumstances, Itachi did not intend to stand up for his younger brother, but instead hoped that Sasuke would remember this humiliation and lesson and regain his dignity in the future.

However, Kimimaro did not understand Itachi's thoughts and had no intention of letting the matter rest.

"Do you think I'm not worthy to be your opponent? In that case, it seems I have no choice but to prove myself with my strength."

As Kimimaro spoke, he reached his right hand into his left arm and, with a series of "crackling" sounds, forcefully pulled a bone out of his left arm.

This chilling scene left Naruto and the others stunned, and even Itachi Uchiha shrank back in shock.

Dance of the Camellia!

The next second, Kimimaro instantly activated his attack, wielding his bone sword and charging towards Uchiha Itachi. The sharp weapon combined with his precise and flexible taijutsu created a multi-stage and continuous barrage of attacks that were difficult to parry.

Dangdang Dangdang!

Without saying a word, Itachi took out a kunai and retreated while taking all of Kimimaro's attacks. He even seized the opportunity to counterattack and kicked Kimimaro in the stomach.

Kimimaro winced in pain and took several steps back. He said with a mixture of surprise and excitement, "You are the first person who can dodge my taijutsu attack. As expected of Uchiha Itachi."

As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes flashed, and he suddenly raised one hand, his ten finger bones shooting towards the itachi with a "whoosh whoosh whoosh".

Piercing through the ten fingers.

It is another powerful ninjutsu of the Corpse Bone Pulse, with power comparable to a bullet fired from a pistol, and it can regenerate infinitely.

Ok?

Itachi's gaze sharpened, and he raised his kunai again to block. After a series of clanging sounds, there was a sudden crack.

The kunai in his hand finally couldn't withstand the force of the finger bones and broke in two. Itachi's arm was also chafed by the finger bones, his clothes were torn, and blood seeped out.

"There's really no other way."

He glanced at his wound, shook his head, and when he looked at Kimimaro again, his eyes had quietly transformed into the shape of three tomoe.

"So they're finally getting serious? What a coincidence, me too."

Kimimaro, facing the serious Itachi, no longer intended to test him, but instead unleashed his true strength.

Puff puff puff puff.

In an instant, sharp bone spurs emerged from his palms, elbows, back, and knees, arming his entire body and turning Kimimaro into a human hedgehog.

The next second, he charged at Uchiha Itachi again.

Dance of the Willows!

Facing the menacing Kimimaro, Itachi quickly formed hand seals, then opened his mouth and spat out a large number of fireballs, which rained down on Kimimaro.

Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Technique.

Whoosh.

Kimimaro dodged left and right, avoiding all the fireballs, and finally reached Itachi, launching an even more ferocious series of attacks than before.

Ding ding ding.

Itachi took out a kunai again, relying on the dynamic vision granted by his Sharingan and the enhanced speed of his nerve reactions to parry Kimimaro's attacks.

But as the saying goes, two fists can't beat four hands.

Kimimaro's hands, elbows, knees, and back became deadly weapons. Even if Itachi had four arms, he was destined to be unable to defeat Kimimaro.

Itachi quickly found himself at a disadvantage in the physical combat contest. At that moment, he made the same decision as Sasuke: to look Kimimaro directly into the eyes and cast a genjutsu on him.

Genjutsu Shiranui.

This is a visual illusion technique. With the enhancement of the Sharingan's power, Kimimaro was instantly plunged into hell, feeling as if his entire body was being burned by flames, suffering unbearable pain.

But just a second later, Kimimaro awoke from the genjutsu by using the Nine-Tails' chakra to disrupt his own chakra flow.

"I've already said, illusions don't work on me unless you have the Mangekyou Sharingan."

Kimimaro said coldly, raising his bone sword and slashing at Uchiha Itachi.

But Itachi has already achieved his goal.

Taking advantage of Kimimaro's momentary lapse in concentration, he used one hand to parry the attack with a kunai while simultaneously forming a hand seal with the other. As Kimimaro's bone sword slashed down, Itachi's body suddenly exploded.

They turned into dozens of crows.

"quack."

To Kimimaro's astonishment, Itachi Uchiha transformed into a large number of crows and flew into the sky, circling above Kimimaro's head.

Take a break.

Suddenly, a large number of shuriken shot out from the flock of crows, attacking Kimimaro from all angles, leaving him with no way to dodge.

Kimimaro frowned, and hundreds of bones instantly grew from his body, enveloping his entire body and blocking all the incoming shuriken.

Dance of the Tang Pine Trees.

"drink!"

Immediately afterwards, Kimimaro clasped his hands together and roared, as bone spikes shot out from his body, knocking down the crows above his head one by one, which then turned into white smoke and disappeared.

Itachi had no choice but to reveal his true form and land on the ground not far away.

Kimimaro's strength exceeded his expectations.

After fighting the white-haired boy, Itachi realized that he had no chance of defeating him at all.

Just as Itachi was looking serious and decided to go all out, Kimimaro suddenly stopped and all his bones shrank back into his body.

"That's enough for today. I know you're at your limit and there's no need to continue fighting, because you're bound to lose."

Kimimaro calmly announced his victory.

Upon hearing this, Itachi frowned but remained silent and did not refute.

His greatest strength is illusion, but Kimimaro is very strange and seems to have an extraordinary resistance to illusion, which makes Itachi's greatest advantage disappear.

Therefore, he had to admit that he was probably no match for Kimimaro.

"It's a real shame we didn't have enough fun today. Let's have another match when you awaken your Mangekyou Sharingan. I hope next time it will be a real battle."

After saying these words to Itachi, Kimimaro turned and left.

As he passed by Naruto, he stopped and glanced at him, which immediately frightened Naruto, Shikamaru, and the others, turning them pale.

Kill Naruto Uzumaki and steal the other half of the Nine-Tails' chakra.

This golden opportunity was right in front of him, but Kimimaro forcefully restrained his inner impulse and did not follow Kurama's instigation to take action.

He had not forgotten his identity as a Hidden Mist ninja. Killing Naruto Uzumaki here would inevitably lead to war between Hidden Mist and Konoha.

Moreover, even if he succeeds, he probably won't be able to leave Konoha alive, and he might even implicate Haku, Karin, and their teacher.

Thinking of this, Kimimaro said to Haku and Karin beside him, "Let's go."

The three were about to leave the training ground.

"Hey! You white-haired guy, what's your name?"

Naruto suddenly shouted at Kimimaro's retreating figure, startling Shikamaru and Ino, who rushed forward and desperately covered his mouth. But Naruto struggled free and yelled, "I will definitely defeat you! I, Uzumaki Naruto, mean what I say!"

Upon hearing this, Kimimaro slowly turned around, remained silent for a moment, and then left his name:

"Kaguya Kimimaro".

Kaguya?

Could it be the family from Kirigakure that staged a coup and was wiped out by the Fourth Mizukage, Kisame Hoshigaki?

Upon hearing the name Kimimaro, Itachi Uchiha immediately thought of the Kaguya clan. Naruto, Sasuke, and the others, however, clearly hadn't heard of the surname and found it unfamiliar.

"Kimimaro, I'll remember you, you arrogant and cocky bastard."
