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

"If there's nothing else, you can go now."

At this moment, the Third Mizukage gave instructions to Kisame.

"Yes."

Kisame bowed slightly, maintaining the bowing posture, and stepped back to the doorway before walking out.

"Congratulations, Kisame Hoshigaki."

When Kusano saw Kisame come out, he went up to congratulate him and patted him on the shoulder again, saying, "I have high hopes for you. Work hard and strive to join the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist in the future."

He saw Kisame's potential and wanted to recruit this genius into his faction ahead of time.

"Thank you for your guidance and care. Without your instruction, I wouldn't have gotten first place this time."

Kisame said modestly, continuing to try and get closer to the other party.

"Haha, don't call me 'sir' anymore, just call me 'big brother' from now on," said Tongcaono happily and quite heartily.

He was a rather unrestrained person, and had many friends in Kirigakure who called him brother, so Kisame wouldn't make much difference.

Upon hearing this, Kisame immediately feigned surprise and said sincerely, "Big brother! I, Kisame Hoshigaki, am willing to serve you."

"it is good!"

Kusano was very satisfied and put his arm around Kisame's shoulder, saying, "Come on, I'll treat you to a meal. I heard there's a restaurant in the hot spring town that has amazing grilled meat and shochu. Coming to Konoha and not having a meal there would be like a wasted trip."

Kisame readily agreed.

In the evening, the two arrived at the shop and found a private room.

Not only did Tongcaono order food and drinks, he also called over two young and beautiful hostesses.

"This ninja is so majestic and strong!"

One of the hostesses' eyes lit up when she saw Kisame, and her supple body slithered towards him like a water snake.

Kisame, without revealing his expression, gently pushed her away.

"Hey, this is my younger brother. He's only just turned thirteen. Don't lay a hand on him."

Seeing this, Tongcaono grabbed the hostess and embraced her on both sides.

They continued drinking and eating meat until late at night.

During the meal, after enjoying himself to the fullest, Tongcaoye's consciousness gradually became blurred.

It wasn't because he drank too much alcohol, but because the alcohol was drugged—it was a high-quality sleeping potion that Kisame got from Shizune, and he used it as soon as he got his hands on it.

Seeing that the time was right, Kisame instructed the two hostesses, "You can go back now."

After the two left, he slowly narrowed his eyes, staring at the man opposite him, and asked in a tentative tone:

"Brother Tousukeno, may I touch... your greatsword?"

55. Iron Head Kung Fu

"Uh...feel free to touch, don't be shy with your older brother."

Tongcao Yeren let out a drunken hiccup and mumbled something incoherently. Before he could finish speaking, his head lolled to the side and he slumped onto the table, fast asleep.

As expected of the sleeping potion made by Silent, it really works.

After observing for a while and confirming that the other party would not wake up anytime soon, Kisame finally stepped forward.

He picked up the blunt knife from the floor and began to cut.

This ninja sword has a huge iron hammer at one end and an axe at the other end connected by a rope. The way to attack is to first chop with the axe and then smash the back of the axe with the hammer to add extra force.

It is said to be able to break through any defense.

"So, does this knife possess attributes like 'strength' or 'armor penetration'?"

Kisame thought to himself, and without any hesitation, immediately activated his cheat device to devour it.

Hey.

The blunt blade of the sword trembled violently, then quickly transformed into a stream of light, entered Kisame's body, and finally settled in his...brain.

After absorbing the cutting force of the blunt knife, the bones in his skull quickly became incredibly hard.

In particular, the forehead, crown of the head, and back of the head received the greatest enhancement.

The human brain is very fragile, and the head, unlike other parts of the body, doesn't have many muscles that can be exercised.

Any ninja who suffers a direct head injury will either die instantly or suffer various long-term effects, such as dementia or concussion.

This is significantly different from another vulnerable part of the human body—the genitals.

In Kisame's view, although the lower body is also vulnerable, it is not fatal.

Even if a man is injured and becomes a eunuch, he will only experience temporary pain, and in the long run, there will be some benefits.

Because eunuchs have significantly lower levels of male hormones, which reduces damage to their immune system and can lead to longer lifespans.

For Kisame.

The arrival of the blunt knife cutter was like a timely rain, replenishing the most vulnerable and in need of protection part of his body.

Kisame raised his hand and tapped his forehead hard with his knuckles a few times.

"Clang clang clang!"

Immediately, a crisp metallic clanging sound rang out, as if his skull were cast from steel.

Now, his head is not only "impregnable," but it also inherits the "defense-breaking" characteristic of a blunt knife, allowing him to deliver a powerful headbutt attack to the enemy.

Simply put, it's the Iron Head Technique.

After absorbing the blunt blade's cut, Kisame felt refreshed and then looked down at the unconscious Kusano.

What should you do when this person wakes up and discovers the knife is missing?

Kisame was prepared for this problem.

He took out a storage scroll, unfolded it, and used a spirit summoning technique. With a "bang," he summoned a cheap, blunt knife.

This was naturally Hozuki Mangetsu's handiwork. He secretly slipped this scroll to Kisame before he set off, saying that it was guaranteed to be exactly the same as the original, and even Kisame himself couldn't tell the difference.

Kisame put the knock-off blunt knife back on the floor.

If Kusano hadn't discovered it, so be it. Even if he had, what could he do? The sword was already Kisame's skull anyway.

If things get really bad, we can just turn on each other and start a fight.

After all, Kisame is a completely different person now, with both his own strength and his status in Kirigakure having greatly improved.

We don't need to be so careful anymore.

Thinking of this, Kisame put his hand on Kusano's shoulder and shook him awake: "Big brother, wake up, this shop is closing, we should go back."

"Hmm... the shochu at this shop has a really strong aftereffect."

Tongcao Yeren rubbed his forehead and mumbled something incoherently.

Then he picked up the blunt knife with one hand and cut it open, while putting the other hand on Kisame's shoulder, and was helped out by the latter.

Stepping onto the street, a gust of cold wind blew, making me feel much more awake. Looking around, it was nearly midnight, and there were only a few pedestrians left on the street.

Kisame glanced at the completely drunk Kusano and decided to take the guy back to the hotel first, and then find a place to properly test his newly acquired abilities.

The two had only taken a few steps.

"Ugh~" Tong Kusano suddenly stopped, leaned over the trash can by the roadside and vomited for a long time.

Kisame could only stand there and wait.

During this time.

The izakaya next door had also closed, and a few people came out, all reeking of alcohol.

Kisame's pupils contracted.

Because the people walking towards them were none other than the famous Sannin of Konoha.

Orochimaru looked slightly tipsy, but didn't seem to have drunk much. Jiraiya, on the other hand, was completely drunk and could barely walk, almost as unsteady as Kusano.

Tsunade's state of intoxication was somewhere between the previous two, half-drunk and half-awake, and she was being carefully supported by her apprentice Shizune.

"Brother, it's cold outside, let's hurry back to the hotel."

Kisame whispered something to Kusano, helped her up, and then quietly brushed past Orochimaru and the others along the roadside.

"Lady Tsunade, watch your step, there's water here."

Shizune was supporting Tsunade, looking down at the road ahead. When she looked up and saw Kisame passing by, she was stunned and showed a surprised expression.

I never expected to run into this guy in this place in the middle of the night.

Orochimaru discovered Kisame earlier than Shizune.

His golden snake eyes emitted a strange, eerie gaze as they fell upon Kisame. Suddenly, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he gave the latter a slight smile.

Kisame pretended not to see anything and helped Kusano leave without looking at her.

"Wait, stop right there!"

A clear shout suddenly came from behind.

It's Tsunade.

In her half-drunk state, she caught a glimpse of a somewhat familiar figure passing by out of the corner of her eye. Then she suddenly realized that the person was none other than the kid from the Hidden Mist Village who had caused her to lose the bet.

"Silence, has this guy lied to you about a lot of things?"

Tsunade pointed at Kisame's back and asked Shizune beside her angrily.

While having dinner at an izakaya tonight, she found Shizune and asked her about the latter's withdrawal from the Chunin Exams. She also learned from Shizune that Kisame had taken Shizune's poison notes, poison bottles, and concealed weapon devices.

Upon hearing this, Shizune quickly explained in a low voice, "Lady Tsunade, that's not how it is. Kisame and I had a fair trade."

Without Kisame's help, her chances of passing the second exam would be extremely slim, let alone successfully becoming a Chunin.

"Fair my ass! He's bullying you! I'm your teacher, and I'm here to get justice for you."
