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

Any further questions?

At this moment, Kushina clapped her hands to confirm that everyone was alright, and then instructed the Chunin Examiners to lead all the teams to different entrances to the Forest of Death.

Kisame followed a Chunin Examiner to Entrance Number Eight.

Half an hour later.

With a creak.

As the barbed wire gate surrounding the forest slowly opened, the second Chunin Exams officially began.

Kisame walked in unhurriedly.

The time was ripe; he was about to begin his hunt.

However, Kisame's goal was not the Earth Scroll; that was just a side thing.

His real target is a person.

Matt Kai.

46. ​​Kakarot without bloodline

In the forest, Kisame closed his eyes and began to sense things.

Found! The target is located to the northwest and is moving rapidly.

Whoosh.

He used his teleportation technique to chase after them.

It must be said that the competition in this Chunin Exams was exceptionally fierce.

As soon as the second exam began, sounds of fierce fighting and explosions came from all directions in the Death Forest.

Trees fell, dust billowed, and flocks of birds were startled into flight.

Looking down from mid-air, it was like flowers blooming in multiple places, reaching a fever pitch from the very beginning.

While Kisame was tracking Might Guy, he encountered two teams fighting over scrolls.

Moreover, it was an internal conflict among the Konoha ninja.

what.

Among the ninjas fighting, one caught Kisame's attention.

She was a girl with short black hair, dressed in a gray-black ninja outfit, and looked very low-key and quiet.

Mute.

She is the niece of Tsunade's deceased lover, Dan Kato, and also Tsunade's current disciple, following her to learn medical ninjutsu.

At this moment, Shizune's team was gradually losing ground. Her two teammates were defeated, leaving her alone to fight on and protect the scroll.

However, just when the attacking side was about to win a great victory, they suddenly stopped and adopted a defensive formation.

Because they saw Kisame.

"How could it be this guy? This is troublesome."

"Don't panic. His scroll is the same as ours, a scroll of heaven. He has no reason to attack us."

"How about we leave this female ninja and the Earth Scroll she has with him, and then retreat and discuss this further?"

"no!"

"..."

The three of them quickly whispered and exchanged opinions.

The silent one beside him, though appearing calm and collected, had a heart that had sunk to the bottom.

Before escaping the wolf's den, they entered the tiger's lair.

She realized with a bitter taste that her Chunin Exam journey was probably coming to an end.

However, what neither side expected was...

"You guys continue, I'm just passing by."

Kisame glanced at it and continued forward, showing no intention of interfering in the battle.

That's because he sensed that Might Guy's movement speed had suddenly increased, and was about to exceed the limit of ten kilometers in terms of perception distance.

Kisame didn't have time to fight these people for the scroll, and he had no interest in playing the hero and rescuing the damsel in distress.

He quickly disappeared into the distance.

Seeing that Kisame had really left, the three Konoha genin were overjoyed. They exchanged glances and rushed towards Shizune.

Kisame darted through the forest like a rabbit and a falcon, the sounds of fighting behind him growing fainter and fainter until they disappeared completely.

Ten minutes later.

Kisame hid in a bush when he saw the figures of Might Guy's team of three.

He did not show himself immediately, but instead concealed his presence and followed them at a distance.

Because what he is about to do to Matt Kai might cause quite a stir, it would be best to go deep into the Death Forest to make it easier.

And so a day and a night passed.

The next day, Kai's squad was indeed targeted and ambushed by the enemy while resting in the forest.

Moreover, it is a powerful Cloud Hidden Squad.

Faced with this unexpected sneak attack, Ebisu and Genma Shiranui were defeated one after another, leaving only Might Guy, who picked up the Scroll of Heaven and ran desperately into the depths of the forest.

He planned to use the scroll as bait to lure the enemy away, thus allowing his companions to escape danger.

The Cloud Village ninjas, of course, wouldn't let him go and relentlessly pursued him.

Ten minutes later.

boom!

Deep within the Forest of Death, a powerful chakra reaction, far exceeding the level of a genin, suddenly emanated.

Immediately afterwards, swathes of trees crashed down, and boulders rolled, as if a powerful beast was rampaging through the land.

Kisame followed closely and quietly approached.

Soon, he saw the three tall Cloud Village ninjas lying on the ground in a clearing in the woods, covered in wounds and unconscious.

Might Guy stood there straight, holding the stolen Scroll of Earth in his hand.

At this moment, his skin turned red due to blood engorgement, his entire body radiated green energy, and chakra continuously dissipated from his body.

The Eight Gates Formation.

Just now, after being cornered by the enemy, he finally unleashed this trump card, opening five gates in one go and successfully killing these powerful Cloud Village genin.

"This time, I must become a Chunin, and I'll use this move my father taught me."

Might Guy murmured, gripping the Scroll of Heaven and Earth tightly in his hand.

The Eight Gates technique was something his father, Might Guy, spent twenty years learning and undergoing countless arduous training before passing it on to him.

Father and son sweated, bled, and cried together, burning their youth for this procedure.

Kai vowed to pass this exam and become the first Chunin of the Might family. That way, he and his father would no longer be looked down upon by the villagers.

But at that moment, the side effects of the Eight Gates appeared.

The excruciating pain from the tearing of his muscles and meridians forced Kai to release the Eight Gates Formation, and he collapsed to his knees with a thud.

He was already at his last gasp.

"I can't fall. Matt Kai, have you forgotten your promise? Do you want to waste your youth...?"

Kai muttered to himself, encouraging himself as he stood up again with his incredibly strong will.

He swayed, wincing in pain, but remained standing.

Kisame saw that the time was about right and appeared from behind a tree.

"Who?"

Might Guy was startled at first, but when he realized it was Kisame, he was overjoyed. "Kisame-nii, what are you doing here?"

Kisame walked towards Gai with a warm smile on his face.

Sudden.

With a whoosh, he used a teleportation technique to rush in front of Kai and, taking advantage of Kai's unpreparedness, punched him in the abdomen.

boom.

Kai suddenly clutched his stomach and collapsed in pain.

“Kai, in this forest, we are rivals, we are enemies. Have you forgotten even that?”

Kisame looked down at Kai and spoke calmly.

"Kisame... Big brother, did you come here to steal my scroll? I didn't expect... I still failed."

Matt Kai struggled to speak, managing a smile that looked more like a grimace, before bursting into a violent cough.

Upon hearing this, Kisame shook his head and sat cross-legged beside Kai.

"No, I'm here to help you."

"Help me?" Kai was stunned.

"Yes, Kai, I admire you. In my eyes, your talent is even greater than Kakashi's."

Kisame looked intently at Kai and said this.

The Eight Gates Formation is a technique that demands extremely high skill from its user.

Among the ninjas who practiced the Eight Gates Formation throughout history.

Might Guy, despite his hard work, lacked talent and spent his entire life mastering this technique, remaining a Konoha genin for his entire life.
