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

Hinata asked blankly, then looked up and saw Tsunade and the elders walking over as well.

"Lady Tsunade, are you satisfied? Lady Hinata has not only mastered Gentle Fist, but has also learned the even more powerful Byakugan Child Technique, which allows her to create pressure with the power of a child, thus subduing her enemies."

The elder fawned over Tsunade, trying to curry favor.

"Well, there are some flaws, but it's generally okay."

Tsunade nodded and gave a light evaluation, acknowledging Hinata's efforts while also pointing out her mistake, thus placing higher demands on Hinata's mental fortitude.

After saying that, she squatted down next to Otsutsuki Toneri, placed one hand on his chest, and a faint blue light shone from her palm.

"Lady Tsunade, thank you so much."

He was flattered and spoke in a trembling voice. Although he could not see Tsunade's face, he could sense her chakra, which shone like the sun, and he was filled with admiration for her.

"Don't get agitated."

Tsunade gestured for Toneri to calm down, and after a short while, she removed her hand from his chest and asked, "How are you feeling now?"

"It's incredible, my meridians have been completely repaired."

As he spoke, Toneri stood up from the ground and bowed deeply to Tsunade.

"If there's nothing else, I'll take Hinata with me and leave."

After Tsunade healed Toneri's injuries, she took Hinata's hand and spoke to the elder.

"Lady Tsunade, please take care."

The elder quickly bowed, secretly relieved. He had been on tenterhooks the entire time he faced Tsunade, afraid that he might do something wrong and anger this terrifying woman.

"Goodbye, Lady Tsunade, Lady Hinata."

Sheren bowed again and echoed, but there was a hint of disappointment in his tone.

"There's one more thing." Tsunade took a few steps, then suddenly turned around.

"What is it?" The elder became tense again upon hearing this.

“If you don’t mind, I’d like to take this child to Earth. He seems like a good sparring partner for Hinata.”

Tsunade pointed at Toneri and spoke.

In the battle just now, Toneri's performance left a good impression on her. Considering that this child was born without eyes, Tsunade couldn't help but feel a sense of appreciation and sympathy for his talent.

The elder was taken aback at first, but after understanding the meaning behind Tsunade's words, he immediately nudged the servant's shoulder and whispered, "Hurry up and thank Lady Tsunade!"

Sheren realized what was happening and was overjoyed.

During this time, he learned a lot about Earth from Hinata and became very interested in everything in the ninja world, especially Kirigakure.

Despite having no eyes, he still longed to leave the desolate moon and go to Earth to "take a look".

More importantly, he can continue to be with Hinata.

Just as he was about to thank Tsunade again in excitement, Tsunade beckoned to Toneri and said:

"No need to thank me. Come on over, kid, I have a lot of things to do when I get back."

After saying that, he took Hinata and Toneri and left the moon.

By the time Tsunade was ready, Kisame was almost done as well.

Divine Power Space.

Kimimaro, now in his cursed form, with a shark-tailed lightning whip behind him and a pair of black wings on his back, is engaged in a fierce battle with Kisame.

Bang bang bang.

After colliding several times in mid-air, the two figures separated and landed on the ground.

“Not bad. After becoming familiar with the power of the cursed seal, your strength is already equivalent to that of an elite Jonin, but that’s not enough, because my expectations for you go far beyond that.”

Kisame gazed at Kimimaro and said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Kimimaro's gaze sharpened, and he uttered four words: "Teacher, be careful!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Mangekyou Sharingan appeared in his eyes. As his gaze focused on Kisame's chest, a raging black flame enveloped the latter's body.

Amaterasu!

299. The Transformation of the Disciples

After Kimimaro unleashed his Mangekyou Sharingan, he immediately used Amaterasu on Kisame.

This black flame is extremely lethal; it can even ignite water and will not extinguish until it has burned everything in its path. Moreover, because it is a summoned object rather than a ninjutsu formed from chakra, it cannot be absorbed by abilities like "Sealing Technique Absorption Seal".

Teacher, how should you deal with this tactic?

Kimimaro's gaze was fixed on Kisame, who was entangled by Amaterasu. If Kisame was unable to deal with the black flames or was even in mortal danger, he would activate his child power again to release the summoning of the black flames.

However, as Kimimaro had predicted, Kisame was not easily defeated by Amaterasu.

Because he soon discovered that everything he was seeing was an illusion.

Kisame was not actually attacked by Amaterasu. Just a moment before Kimimaro activated Amaterasu, he activated Kamui in advance, making himself intangible.

At this moment, Amaterasu was only burning Kisame's illusion. Having lost its target, it quickly fell to the ground.

Kisame took a step back, reforming himself, and then snapped his fingers. A small sealing array appeared beneath his feet, sealing away all the black flames in front of him.

After all, if left unchecked, this small black flame will continue to burn, and might even burn down the entire Divine Might Space.

After finishing this task, Kisame glanced at Kimimaro and smiled slightly.

Whoosh.

His figure vanished from his spot in an instant, and when he reappeared, he had silently arrived behind Kimimaro, delivering a sweeping whip kick.

not good.

Kimimaro was startled. Having witnessed Kisame's power, he knew that even with the Shikotsumyaku and the cursed seal's defense, it would be difficult to withstand the opponent's physical attacks.

Without hesitation, he activated his Sharingan again and summoned the thing called Susanoo.

Kacha.

Kisame's whip-like leg struck Kimimaro's translucent blue skeleton, causing countless cracks to appear on its surface.

Immediately afterwards, Kimimaro, along with Susanoo, was lifted off the ground by this sweeping kick and landed dozens of meters away.

hateful.

He struggled to his feet, manipulating Susanoo to protect himself and attempting to launch a counterattack against Kisame.

Bang bang bang.

Kisame fought Susanoo hand-to-hand with his flesh and blood body. After several rounds, he no longer held back and punched Susanoo straight in the front, turning it into countless chakra fragments.

"Wow."

Kimimaro immediately coughed up a mouthful of blood, knelt down on both knees, and lost the ability to fight.

Over the past month, through several encounters with his teacher, the latter's abilities have repeatedly refreshed his understanding of what constitutes a formidable opponent.

Just how powerful are teachers?

Kimimaro dared not think about it too much, because it would make him feel desperate, as if no matter how hard he tried, he would never be able to catch up with his teacher in this lifetime.

"Not bad. Your strength has surpassed Jonin level and is approaching Kage level. What you lack now is sufficient combat experience."

Kisame crossed his arms and looked down at the disciple kneeling before him, offering this assessment.

Kimimaro possesses four powerful abilities: the Shikotsumyaku inherited from Hamura Otsutsuki, the Mangekyou Sharingan from the Uchiha clan, the Sage Mode seal inherited from Kisame, and the Nine-Tails' chakra.

However, with so much power residing within a single imp, they are destined to repel each other.

Currently, it seems that the Sharingan, which was recently transplanted, is experiencing the strongest rejection reaction.

"what"

Suddenly, Kimimaro's face contorted in pain, his eyelids and eyeballs twitched violently, and two streams of bloody tears flowed from his eyes.

He felt his vision blur and the world spinning before his eyes.

"This is a normal rejection phenomenon."

Seeing this, Kisame spoke up, telling Kimimaro not to panic too much, "Just like how Hashirama's cells reject their host and absorb the energy from the host's flesh and blood, turning them into plants, what you need to do is rely on your own will and strength to control these eyes until they can be completely used by you."

"Teacher, I will definitely do it."

Kimimaro propped himself up and stood up, swearing with a resolute expression.

I wish you success.

Kisame patted Kimimaro on the shoulder and instructed, "Pack up. The three-month deadline is up. We should return to Kirigakure and fulfill our bet with Tsunade. Remember, as my disciple, if you lose, I will kill you on the spot. Understand?"

Upon hearing this, Kimimaro was terrified, feeling as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, when he heard that Kisame would kill him.

He knew his teacher was not joking, because in that instant, he felt an extremely terrifying killing intent that made every nerve in his body tense up.

"Yes, teacher." Kimimaro came back to his senses and said in a deep voice, his gaze sharp.

No matter who the opponent is, no matter what the cost, he must win.

"Very good, keep up this fighting spirit."

Kisame was very satisfied with Kimimaro's determination, and then took the initiative to mention, "By the way, don't worry about Haku and Karin. They are undergoing secret training somewhere in the ninja world, just like you, and they should be almost finished by now."

Kimimaro watched Kisame's figure disappear into the distance, his expression grave.

"Hey kid, you still don't know who he is?"

Suddenly, Kurama's voice rang in Kimimaro's mind.

"Who? You mean the teacher? Do you know his true identity?" Kimimaro asked three questions in a row upon hearing this, appearing quite surprised.

Speaking of which, in the three months since the teacher appeared, the Nine-Tails inside him has been almost completely still, as if it had fallen into a deep sleep.

This bizarre situation has never occurred before.

Looking back now, it seems like Kurama (the Nine-Tails) was deliberately playing dead to avoid the teacher.

"Listen carefully, from this second onwards, no matter what you hear, you must not show surprise, and you must not shout, understand? Your teacher's real name is..."
