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

Kai stood up again, bursting out of the dust, and pounced on Kisame with a fanatical expression.

Bang bang bang!

In this deadly forest, the two fought hand-to-hand, like two humanoid Tyrannosaurus Rex battling from one end of the forest to the other.

The surrounding terrain was quickly and completely destroyed, leaving a scene of utter devastation.

Finally, a dazzling flash of lightning illuminated the woods.

Kisame finally unleashed his Shark Tail Lightning Whip, launching a surprise attack with a Dragon Tail Sweep that sent Might Guy flying backward.

Click. Click.

Kai crashed into more than a dozen large trees along the way, and rolled dozens of times after landing on the ground before finally losing consciousness.

48. Team up with me (mute)

Kisame walked up to Kai.

At this moment, Kai's hair stood up and formed a fixed shape. His red skin color paired with the green bodysuit was a truly disastrous combination.

Judging from his appearance, after Kai ate three monster cells, he didn't change much; at least he still retained his human form.

But through the battle just now, Kisame was convinced that Gai's potential had been fully unleashed, the shackles binding his genes had been broken, and the beast within him had been released.

Matt Kai is his most satisfying "work" to date.

Kisame was looking forward to the day when Might Guy would kick Madara to pieces again.

It will definitely be very interesting.

But for now...

Given Kai's condition, he's destined to be unable to continue taking the exam. This also means that the Might family's perennial genin status won't be lifted for the time being.

Kisame took the Earth Scrolls from the three Cloud Ninjas from Guy and paired them with his own Heaven Scroll.

Then, he walked into the distant woods and remotely manipulated it using chakra threads to open Guy's Heavenly Scroll.

"Oh!"

After a puff of white smoke disappeared, a Chunin Examiner was summoned by the jutsu in the scroll.

"Curiosity killed the man. Opening the scroll carelessly would result in disqualification from the exam."

The man crossed his arms and announced casually. But he soon realized, rather embarrassingly, that no one was listening to him.

Only Matt Kai lay on the ground, unconscious.

"Hey, what's wrong? Are you alright?" The Chunin Examiner quickly knelt down to check on Guy's condition.

Upon seeing this, Kisame turned and disappeared into the depths of the forest.

One day later.

Kisame stood on a hillside and could see the central tower ten kilometers away.

For most participants, the stretch before the finish line is the most dangerous.

Because some clever squads adopted a strategy of waiting for the enemy to tire themselves out, avoiding battle all the way to the vicinity of the finish line in advance, setting up numerous traps, and just waiting for their prey to come to them.

But as I said before, no one dares to mess with Kisame unless they're courting death.

So, after confirming the location, Kisame walked down the hillside and headed straight for the central tower.

A few minutes later.

Kisame was walking in the forest when he suddenly sensed a faint chakra appearing nearby ahead.

Is it an ambush?

He approached silently and found a survivor from a remnant squad, hiding in the bushes and observing the surrounding movements.

To Kisame's surprise, the figure looked somewhat familiar.

It is silent.

She actually fought against three opponents and won the previous battle?

It seems she learned a lot from Tsunade.

Kisame became interested, and on a whim, he squatted down on the spot and pressed his left hand to the ground.

As the "Explosion" character lit up on his palm, a surge of chakra drilled into the ground, rapidly approaching Shizune along the underground.

Ok?

Silent, who was intently observing the environment ahead, suddenly felt a sense of crisis and, almost without thinking, leaped to the side like a raccoon.

boom.

The moment she dodged, an explosion occurred where she had been standing, sending dirt flying and a plume of white smoke billowing out.

Shizune felt a lingering fear. Before she could regain her footing, a tall figure rushed out of the woods, wielding a ninja sword and slashing down at her head.

clang!

Shizune quickly pulled out a kunai to barely parry, but the opponent's strength was too great, and he suppressed her in an instant.

"It's you?!"

Only then did she see the attacker's face clearly; it was Kisame Hoshigaki.

Kisame smiled slightly and exerted force again. Shizune couldn't withstand it and knelt down with a thud.

Just as Shizune was about to be defeated, in a moment of crisis, she suddenly opened her mouth, flicked her tongue, and shot out a poison needle with a "whoosh," heading straight for Kisame's right eye.

Hidden weapons, tongue needles.

Kisame tilted his head and dodged, preventing Shizune's sneak attack from succeeding.

However, Shizune's counterattack did not end there. While Kisame was distracted by the tongue needles, she raised her other hand, revealing her sleeve, and fired several senbon needles from the device strapped to her arm.

Hidden weapons, needle bullets.

These thousand needles were extremely fast and highly poisonous; at such close range, they instantly pierced Kisame's arm.

Ding Deng Deng.

His tall frame swayed, and he took several steps back.

Right now.

Shizune quickly formed hand seals, opened her mouth, and spat out a large cloud of purple mist that surged forward and enveloped Kisame.

Ninja Technique·Poison Mist.

This is Shizune's ultimate technique, which transforms the chakra within her body into a special chemical substance that she spits out. This substance instantly turns into a purple, highly poisonous mist upon contact with the air, and even inhaling a small amount can be fatal.

"Cough cough cough..."

From within the poisonous fog came Kisame's cough, which grew weaker and weaker until it soon ceased.

Did you make it?

Silent dared not let her guard down, keeping her eyes fixed on the poisonous fog.

A moment later, the poisonous fog dissipated. Kisame reappeared and suddenly smiled at Shizune.

Then, with a "pop," it turned into a cloud of white smoke and disappeared.

It's a shadow clone.

As expected, this guy was on a completely different level from the other participating genin.

Shizune's heart sank, knowing that Kisame was not someone she could handle. Just as she was about to turn and run away, she felt her whole body being tightened.

Swish.

A chakra thread shot out from the ground, spiraling upwards along her legs, instantly binding her into a giant rice dumpling.

The next second, taking advantage of the moment when the silence was immobilized, Kisame's true form finally appeared, appearing behind her like a ghost, and two sharp, long fangs shot out from his mouth.

Pfft.

Kisame lowered his head, and his blood-sucking fangs plunged into Shizune's shoulder, sucking blood fiercely.

"uh-huh."

Jingyin groaned softly, and a sharp pain shot through her shoulder. She quickly became dizzy from blood loss, her steps faltered, and her vision blurred.

"I... admit defeat."

Before losing consciousness, she managed to speak and hand over her Earth Scroll.

Kisame didn't take the scroll; instead, he retracted his fangs and watched as Shizune collapsed to the ground with a thud.

He crouched down, looked down at the girl for a while, and then suddenly spoke:

"I can see that you really wanted to pass this Chunin Exams. Even though you were the only one left, you still worked hard to get here. Did you do all this to gain Tsunade's approval? If so, team up with me."

Team up?

Upon hearing this, Shizune's eyes widened. After the initial shock and surprise, she calmly asked, "What are the conditions?"

"It's so convenient to talk to smart people."

Kisame praised Shizune's intelligence and, without beating around the bush, made his request directly: "Give me a copy of all your hidden weapons and devices, as well as all the poison formulas and finished products you have."

He knew that Shizune was a medical ninja.

Medical ninjas not only need to know how to detoxify, but they also usually have the skill of preparing poisons.

As far as Kisame knew, Tsunade, Shizune's teacher, could even concoct colorless and odorless poisons that could affect ninjas of Jiraiya's caliber, leaving them so weak that they couldn't even use ninjutsu.

Poison can be a good thing.

49. Poisoning is an art.

Poisoning is an important part of unrestricted physical techniques.
