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

Click.

The stone table beneath their elbows quickly succumbed to the immense pressure, and spiderweb-like cracks appeared.

"Your wrist strength is quite good. I underestimated you."

Tsunade looked surprised, but remained calm and composed, her arm as steady as a rock.

On the other hand, Kisame looked solemn and remained silent, as if he had exerted all his strength, and the veins on his arms were about to burst.

In terms of pure strength, even Kisame at his peak in his previous life would be no match for Tsunade. This woman's power is so great that even an unparalleled powerhouse like the Fourth Raikage would have to admit defeat.

"Fine, I'm not playing with you anymore."

Seeing that Kisame remained silent, Tsunade deduced that he was at his limit, so she added more force and unleashed a surge of energy from her body.

Strange strength.

When Tsunade unleashed this power of her bloodline, the scales of victory tipped infinitely in her favor.

But at this moment, a sudden change occurred.

call out!

Kisame's right hand fingers suddenly detached from his body and flew out, transforming into long, thin sewing needles with a chakra thread trailing at the end.

what?

To Tsunade's astonishment, the sewing needle's index finger, like a nimble snake, snaked up her right arm and quickly slipped into her sleeve.

At that moment, the chakra threads wrapped around Tsunade's arm tightened suddenly, interfering with her chakra flow and preventing her from using her full strength.

The needle went deep into Tsunade's loose clothing, making a single cut from right to left above her collarbone.

next second.

The shoulder strap of Tsunade's gray evening gown-style inner lining suddenly snapped and slid down.

She was about to be exposed.

Tsunade panicked and quickly used her left hand to cover her chest and hold down her slipping clothes.

Right now.

Kisame's eyes flashed with a sharp light. Taking advantage of Tsunade's momentary lapse in concentration, he unleashed his full power in his right hand, turning the tide of the battle and snatching victory from the jaws of defeat.

With a bang.

His right hand slammed Tsunade's right hand hard onto the stone table.

"I won."

Kisame smiled, and with a "whoosh," he withdrew his stitched index finger, declaring his victory.

"You cheat!"

Tsunade covered her chest with her clothes, angrily stood up from the stone bench, pointed at Kisame with her right hand, and refused to admit defeat.

Kisame had anticipated this, so he wagged his finger and said to Shizune and Yuki-onna beside him:

"I have a question I'd like to ask Lady Tsunade to answer, and you can all be the judges as well."

Upon hearing this, the two nodded in agreement.

"First of all, I did only use my right hand when we were arm wrestling, right?"

Kisame looked at Tsunade, and after confirming that she had no questions, he continued, "Then I would like to ask, since you can use the Senju clan's bloodline strength, why can't I use the Hoshigaki clan's special abilities? Isn't that too unfair?"

fair.

These two words stunned Tsunade.

"You mean, the ability you just used was..." Shizune began, looking at Kisame's right index finger with surprise and curiosity.

She had seen Kisame use this magical chakra thread when she encountered him during the second round of the Chunin Exams.

"That's right, this is the bloodline limit of my Hoshigaki clan, called Thread Release."

Kisame smiled and nodded, lying came out of his mouth without hesitation.

"In that case, it certainly doesn't count as cheating."

Shizune frowned seriously and muttered to herself.

After all, it was Tsunade who used her superhuman strength first, and Kisame used his String Release to retaliate. Even if it can't be said to be justified, it's at least understandable, right?

"hateful."

Seeing that even Shizune was speaking up for Kisame, Tsunade clenched her fists and gritted her teeth.

But she really had nothing to say.

If one insists on accusing Kisame of cheating, it would only make her seem like she's strict with others but lenient with herself.

Isn't that a blatant double standard?

but.

She was very unwilling to accept that Tsunade had to admit defeat like that.

At the very least, she wouldn't willingly hand over that crystal necklace.

Kisame could tell that Tsunade was very dissatisfied and was probably planning to cheat.

After all, she's a gambling addict who's been a deadbeat many times and has long since lost all sense of shame!

72. How can he be such a good actor? (Please read on!)

Thinking about this...

Kisame spoke first, taking the initiative to suggest to Tsunade:

"I know you're really upset about losing. How about this, we'll skip the last one and switch hands, and go again. And I promise you, I won't use the 'string trick' again."

"Is this really true?" Tsunade's eyes widened, and she started thinking about Kisame's five million again.

"Of course, I want you to lose convincingly."

Kisame appeared very confident, but he also set a condition: "If you lose again this time, you can't make excuses anymore, and you must hand over what I won."

"Okay, it's a deal!"

Tsunade immediately agreed, covered her clothes with her right hand, and then eagerly placed her left hand on the stone table.

Kisame also sat on the stone bench and stretched out his left hand.

The two clasped hands once more, their palms pressed tightly together.

"Three, two, one. Go!" Shizune shouted the countdown once again.

boom!

A surge of energy erupted from Tsunade's body, sweeping through like a whirlwind and sending Shizune and Yuki-onna staggering backward.

This time, she went all out right from the start.

He vowed to kill Kisame instantly.

Coincidentally, Kisame thought the same thing.

Even before the countdown ended, he quietly activated the ability of the Exploding Blade Spray, and the "Exploding" tattoo on his left palm was imprinted on Tsunade's palm.

Then, with a "bang".

Just as Tsunade was about to knock Kisame down, a sharp pain shot through her palm, as if she had been hit by an explosion.

In an instant, her entire left hand was covered in blood.

Upon seeing the bright red blood and smelling the pungent stench, Tsunade couldn't help but tremble and felt dizzy.

Her hemophobia flared up.

The explosion in her palm, combined with her hemophobia, made Tsunade's arm go limp and powerless, and Kisame immediately seized the opportunity.

I knocked her down again.

"Lady Tsunade, are you alright!?"

Upon seeing this, Shizune rushed forward.

"Don't worry, I only made her bleed a little. It looks scary, but it's nothing serious."

Kisame explained, and instructed Yuki-onna and Shizune to help Tsunade back to her room to rest.

Half an hour later.

Tsunade, lying on the bed, had changed into a white Yuki-onna shirt, which fit her quite well.

Her left hand was also healed by Shizune's medical ninjutsu, and a white bandage was wrapped around it to clean away all the bloodstains.

Kisame walked into the room and calmly looked down at Tsunade, who was glaring at him angrily.

"Let me clarify first, I didn't cheat, but rather used another ability of the Hoshigaki clan."

Kisame raised his left hand, and under the gaze of the three people in the room, the tattoo of the Exploding Blade Spray appeared on his arm, especially the black "Exploding" character in his palm, which was particularly eye-catching.

"This is Explosion Release, and like Thread Release, it's also a bloodline limit of my Hoshigaki clan. It makes sense for a person to have two hands, each with its own ability, right?"

Kisame continued to lie, since the Hoshigaki clan had never been well-known and Tsunade had no way to verify the truth.

Reasonable?

Upon hearing Kisame's words, Tsunade's lips twitched, and she forcefully suppressed the urge to jump on him and beat him up.

That damn guy, how can he be such a show-off?

It's really annoying.

"Thread Release and Explosion Release, are these both bloodline limits of your Hoshigaki clan? Then what was that Iron Head Technique you used last time, Steel Release? Iron Release?"

Tsunade leaned against the headboard and said coldly.

She had never heard of anyone possessing two bloodline limits simultaneously. Kisame was undoubtedly toying with her.

"No, I'm just stubborn."
