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

Relying on his immense chakra, he wielded two whips, attacking from both sides, and quickly overwhelmed Hozuki Mangetsu, causing him to be unable to withstand the attack and retreat step by step.

In the end, Hozuki Mangetsu was defeated, his Water Whip shattered, and he was bound by Kisame's Lightning Whip.

Within a second, he melted into a puddle of liquid and escaped successfully once again.

Kisame didn't give chase, but instead calmly watched the pool of liquid revert to its slime form a short distance away.

Hozuki Mangetsu felt heavy-hearted.

He had initially suspected the mysterious man in black was Kisame, but now he was less certain. As far as he knew, Kisame didn't use lightning release ninjutsu, let alone such a powerful golden lightning release.

However, it doesn't matter who the enemy is.

Hozuki Mangetsu realized that if he wanted to defeat his opponent, he would have to use his true abilities.

"Roar!"

With a roar, Hozuki Mangetsu's body, which was less than a meter tall, rapidly expanded, transforming into a water giant four or five meters tall in just a few seconds.

dong dong dong.

It stomped on the ground, like a mad elephant, and charged towards Kisame without regard for anything else.

Crack!

Kisame's two lightning whips lashed fiercely at the water giant, splashing up sprays of water, but they did nothing to stop the giant's advance.

The water giant, despite enduring the severe whipping, charged towards Kisame and sent him flying with a single blow.

boom.

Kisame crashed into the wall behind him and was buried under the rubble.

He had just lifted the rubble that had been pressing down on him and stood up when he saw the water giant charging at him again.

It's time to end this boring battle.

Kisame's eyes narrowed, and after forming a hand seal, he pressed his hands to the ground. Countless golden lightning bolts surged towards the water giant like waves.

sizzle.

The lightning disrupted the water giant's movements and vision, causing it to momentarily freeze.

Just now.

Whoosh.

Kisame arrived in an instant, leaping into the air to be at eye level with the water giant.

He raised his right hand, and a black "座" character appeared in his palm. He then swung a large scepter at the water giant.

Kuo'an entered the city with his hands clasped.

Kisame didn't care how Hashirama Senju used this technique; he was going to use it to slap someone.

With a crisp and loud snap, it cracked.

The water giant was stunned by the powerful blow.

In that instant, besides feeling the immense force from the other's palm, Hozuki Mangetsu also felt a strange and inexplicable power invading his body, suppressing his chakra.

next second.

The water giant lost its balance and stumbled backward, finally crashing into the main building and crushing it.

Amidst the ruins, Hozuki Mangetsu revealed his true form, feeling an indescribable exhaustion. He tilted his head to the side and collapsed to the ground, falling into a deep sleep.

Kisame walked over.

The technique "Kouan Enters the Palace and Drops His Hands" can even suppress the chakra of a tailed beast. Using it to deal with the mere Hozuki Mangetsu is like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

However, Kisame realized that a single move was enough to put the self-proclaimed invincible Hozuki Mangetsu into a deep sleep.

In the Naruto world, only sealing techniques are eternally powerful.

No matter how powerful the ninja, how strong the ninja tools, or how unsolvable the ninjutsu, in the end, they all have to be dealt with by the omnipotent sealing techniques.

Perhaps this is the biggest reason why the Uzumaki clan was attacked by various forces back then, ultimately leading to the destruction of their country and clan.

Their sealing techniques instilled fear in everyone.

Of course, there is no perfect technique in this world, and Kuo-an's skill of entering the palace is no exception.

It has two drawbacks: first, it consumes a lot of chakra when activated; second, it requires close contact with the target.

Choose the timing carefully before using it.

After testing the combat effectiveness of the Golden Lightning Release and Wood Release sealing techniques, and incidentally knocking out Hozuki Mangetsu, Kisame remembered that he had important business to attend to.

He grabbed Hozuki Mangetsu, turned it upside down, and shook it vigorously.

"Ugh~"

While unconscious, Hozuki Mangetsu's body rippled like water, and soon he opened his mouth and spat out a scroll.

Kisame caught the scroll with his other hand and deciphered it without much effort.

With a "bang".

The twin-bladed flounder was summoned from a storage scroll and appeared in Kisame's hands.

As the name suggests, this knife consists of two perfectly symmetrical knives that fit together seamlessly, like a flounder.

This is also the origin of the name "flounder".

Kisame gripped the hilt of Hiramekarei's sword, closed his eyes, and sensed it. The cheat device in his mind reacted, and more strongly than ever before.

This indicates that it is genuine, not a counterfeit.

Kisame put away his sword with satisfaction, left the unconscious Hozuki Mangetsu behind, and went back to the village alone.

Half an hour later, at the riverside cottage.

Kisame returned home and eagerly took out his twin swords, Hiramekarei, to examine them closely.

This sword is hailed as the foremost of the Seven Ninja Swords of the Hidden Mist.

However, this strongest ninja sword is far less prominent in the original work than the Great Sword Samehada, and its presence is not strong.

That's because, no matter how powerful a knife is, it depends on who uses it!

83. Liberation, Change, Powerful Strike

The flounder is a ninja sword with a troubled history.

Its first user was an elite Jonin from the Hozuki clan, a minor character without even a name, who was killed by Might Guy after he opened the Eight Gates in the original work.

The second user, Hozuki Mangetsu, was a true genius, but unfortunately, he died young before he could become famous in the ninja world.

By the time the third user, Chojuro, appeared, the ninja world had become an era of god-like power struggles, with cheat codes flying everywhere.

Although Chojuro was known as the prodigy of Kirigakure, Kirigakure at that time had already suffered from a decline in talent, and he was the tallest among the short.

Among a bunch of cheaters, he's a complete waste of space, unlikely to stand out.

It seems so.

The abilities of the Twin-Sword Flounder have never been fully developed.

Unlike Samehada, which was used by Kisame Hoshigaki, Hoshigaki, and Killer Bee in the original work, and whose users were all Kage-level powerhouses.

Thinking about this...

"Ugh."

Kisame couldn't help but sigh, gently stroking the Hiramekarei blade, thinking to himself:

The glorious yet arduous task of developing the potential of the Twin-Sword Flounder is entrusted to me, Kisame Hoshigaki.

It doesn't matter if he works hard, after all, he has always been such a warm-hearted and noble person.

Kisame then activated the cheat device.

Swish.

The blades of the Twin Blades Hiramekarei instantly transformed into a beam of white light, merging into Kisame's body, causing him to emit a very comfortable and enjoyable sound.

Kisame quickly understood why Hiramekarei was considered the strongest.

Because after it merged into his body, it actually split into three, each stopping in one of three different places inside Kisame's body.

Most of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of Kirigakure only have one ability, but Hiramekarei is clearly an exception.

The first ray of light took hold in Kisame's throat.

In the original work, Chojuro relied on a single, powerful technique: he infused his chakra into the flounder, releasing energy orbs from the blade and launching them outwards, causing immense damage.

This move, called Hiramekarei Release, once repelled Sasuke's Susanoo and cut Black Zetsu in half.

Kisame stepped out of the room, faced the river, and opened his mouth.

buzzing.

A large amount of chakra was compressed into an ultra-dense blue sphere of light in his mouth, releasing terrifying energy fluctuations.

call out!

After the ball of light took shape, it was blasted out by Kisame and plunged into the water at an extremely high speed, exploding with a bang.

A water column more than ten meters high shot into the sky.

This attack method is reminiscent of the Tailed Beast Balls fired from the mouths of Tailed Beasts or Jinchuriki.

However, the Tailed Beast Ball is, after all, a mixture of Yin and Yang chakra, and is an S-rank ninjutsu.

Kisame's newly acquired ability is more similar to another A-rank ninjutsu.

Rasengan.

This technique was developed by Minato Namikaze over three years, inspired by the Tailed Beast Ball.

After absorbing Hiramekarei, Kisame essentially learned the Rasengan technique with his mouth without any time or instruction.

Moreover, he can launch this Rasengan; it's only one chakra nature transformation away from becoming an S-rank Rasenshuriken.
