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

Inside the private room.

"Mute, keep it up! You have to beat that guy!"

Tsunade stood up nervously. Although Shizune couldn't hear her, she still waved her fist to cheer on her disciple.

More importantly, she didn't want to treat everyone to a meal.

However, to Tsunade's utter surprise...

"I concede."

Before the competition even started, Shizune took a deep breath and raised her hand to forfeit.

Because she knew she had no chance against Kisame. She didn't want to fight a monster like Kisame again; she might suffer some kind of torment.

For Shizune, reaching the top four was enough to advance her to Chunin level; she had already achieved her goal in participating in this exam.

However, her decision immediately caused an uproar in the venue.

"What happened to Shizune? Could she have been injured in the previous battle and can no longer fight? Kisame, that guy, just made it to the finals like that?"

Asuma was so angry that he couldn't even smoke, and he was even more resentful.

What's going on?

Inside the private room, Tsunade was dumbfounded. Her waving gesture froze instantly. After standing there stiffly for a moment, she plopped down on the sofa.

Under the combined influence of gravity and her own weight, this movement caused her chest to heave violently.

Jiraiya stared wide-eyed, and his nose started bleeding.

"Tsunade, it seems you're still the same as before, always losing at gambling."

Orochimaru laughed even harder and started teasing his friend.

Tsunade remained silent and shut herself off.

"Orochimaru, you don't actually think you've already won, do you? There's still Obito to contend with."

Jiraiya chimed in, still expressing his confidence in Obito.

"Then let's wait and see." Orochimaru looked towards the venue.

The final match has finally begun.

"Kisame Hoshigaki! Last time you used despicable and treacherous means to ambush me. This time, I, Obito Uchiha, will show you what my true strength is!"

As soon as Obito arrived, he couldn't wait to announce it.

Kisame merely glanced at him and calmly said, "I truly feel sorry for you."

"What did you say?" Obito was taken aback.

“I said, you could have been indulging in beautiful fantasies, but now you are forced to witness the enormous gap in real power between us. So I feel sorry for you.”

Kisame gave a half-smile.

His words thoroughly enraged Obito.

Whoosh.

He gripped his kunai and charged at Kisame.

Kisame's response to this was:

Bursting water surge.

Splash!

As he rapidly formed hand seals and opened his mouth, a tsunami-like wave erupted from his mouth, instantly sending Obito flying and engulfing the entire Chunin tournament venue.

For the past six months or so, Kisame has been training and improving his chakra, which has been increasing rapidly every day and is now more than three times that of an ordinary Jonin.

At that moment, his full-force Water Burst Wave instantly killed Obito.

To deal with Kisame, Obito prepared many tactics, but unfortunately, in the face of absolute power, any plan is useless.

Obito was swept away by the water, his body was almost falling apart, let alone launching a counterattack, and he almost drowned.

"Oh!"

Kisame stood on the water's surface and used a summoning technique to summon a shark seven or eight meters long. He rode it towards Obito and opened his blood-red maw to bite down on the latter.

The rules of this competition do not allow an opponent to intentionally kill another person after the opponent has lost their fighting ability.

Therefore, Kisame planned to use this shark to "accidentally" swallow Obito. After all, sharks aren't very intelligent animals, so it's normal for them not to obey their master's commands.

Yes, Kisame wanted to kill Obito.

Even though he knew that even if he killed Obito, Madara Uchiha would find other Obitos and continue to wreak havoc on Kirigakure and the ninja world.

However, this was a personal grudge between him and Obito.

He planned to kill Obito here before he turned evil, thus putting an end to Obito's sinful and tragic life and doing a good deed for the ninja world.

Unfortunately, Minato Namikaze wouldn't agree.

Just as the shark was about to devour Obito, a yellow flash teleported in, grabbed Obito by the back of his neck by the collar, and teleported away again.

The shark lunged for a bite, but missed.

This is why Hiruzen Sarutobi appointed Minato Namikaze as the chief examiner for the third round.

Minato Namikaze's Flying Thunder God Technique can handle any unexpected situation that occurs during a match. As long as he wants to save someone, even if he only has 0.1 seconds, that's enough.

Kisame shook his head and dispelled the summoning jutsu.

The water he created quickly seeped into the sewers and disappeared without a trace thanks to the venue's powerful drainage system.

Only a few puddles of water remained on the ground.

Kisame didn't manage to kill Obito as he wished, but—

When Minato Namikaze made his move in the final battle of the Chunin Exams, it meant the battle was over.

Kisame won.

After a brief silence, the venue erupted in a huge uproar once again.

Go straight into the sky.

53. The Curtain Falls

The final match.

What many expected was a closely contested and exciting match, turned out to be a one-sided affair.

It ended before I could get enough of it.

This result was especially unacceptable to the Konoha spectators in the stands.

After all, Konoha is the leader of the Five Great Ninja Villages and the host of this Chunin Exams. Yet now, the Hidden Mist Ninja has taken the crown, and won it by overwhelmingly defeating the Konoha Ninja.

"unlucky!"

In an instant, many Konoha spectators stood up, cursing and swearing, and began to leave the venue.

Inside the venue.

"Examiner, what are you waiting for?"

As Kisame walked towards Minato Namikaze, he said, "According to the rules, you should be holding my hand and Obito's hand respectively, then raising my arm to announce the winner. Konoha is a land of etiquette; surely they wouldn't lack such basic manners after losing a match?"

Upon hearing this, Minato's face darkened.

Indeed, he was too concerned about his disciple Obito, constantly asking about the latter's injuries, leaving Kisame, the champion, standing aside for quite a while.

"The winner is Kisame Hoshigaki!"

Minato raised Kisame's arm and announced the results to the audience, thus fulfilling his duty as the chief examiner.

There wasn't much cheering from the stands.

"Kisame Hoshigaki, I admit defeat. You... are amazing! But you're the kind of guy that no one likes."

Obito glared at Kisame through gritted teeth, first admitting that he was inferior in skill, and then making a sarcastic remark.

"Who said that? Aren't my comrades from Kirigakure cheering me on?"

Kisame pointed to the stands, where the participating genin from Kirigakure were indeed beaming with joy, cheering and jumping for joy.

He won first place, which brings honor to the entire Hidden Mist Village. Everyone else also benefits from this and can return to the village in triumph.

"Do you mean that in your eyes, only your comrades and the people of Konoha are considered human, while the ninjas of Kirigakure are not?"

Kisame retorted calmly, leaving Obito speechless for a moment.

In the stands.

Asma finally fell silent.

Kisame's Exploding Water Wave was the most terrifying water-style technique he had ever seen. It was unimaginable how a genin could possess so much chakra.

Kakashi shook his head, because he knew that Kisame still had many tricks up his sleeve.

He left his seat and turned to leave.

The very top of the stands.

"congratulations."

Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled and congratulated the Third Mizukage, but his words were somewhat insincere.

"Hahaha."

The Third Mizukage rarely laughed heartily, his face beaming with joy.

For more than twenty years since the end of the First Shinobi World War, the three major ninja villages of Konoha, Kumogakure, and Kirigakure have had occasional frictions, but have never directly engaged in large-scale military conflicts.

Over the years, the three major ninja villages have maintained continuous and increasingly frequent exchanges in culture, economy, and military affairs.

That's why we had the grand occasion of the Chunin Exams, where all three major ninja villages sent representatives to participate at the same time.

It can be said that this Chunin Exam was the largest ever held in peacetime.
