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

Training Course.

The transformation of a Jinchūriki into a Tailed Beast can be divided into four stages.

These are chakra leakage, chakra borrowing, half-tailed beast transformation, and complete tailed beast transformation.

Kushina's state at this moment directly entered the third stage.

Although her body retained its human form, as the Nine-Tails' chakra continuously surged forth, a dark red tailed beast cloak appeared on her body.

Four tails grew out of its back at once.

Faced with the powerful Kisame, Kushina ultimately borrowed the power of the Nine-Tails.

In this semi-tailed beast state, her speed, strength, and defense are greatly enhanced, and she also gains the ability to launch tailed beast balls.

However, the price she paid was that, like Matt Kee before her, her consciousness became somewhat clouded.

The Nine-Tails is fully awakening and has taken control of this body.

But there is one person who is faster than the Nine-Tails.

Whoosh.

A figure arrived in an instant.

Just as Kushina completed her partial tailed beast transformation and her consciousness was still in disarray, Kisame had already decisively rushed forward with lightning speed—

He slapped her on the forehead.

hum.

The character "座" (seat) on Kisame's palm suddenly emitted a black light. A special kind of chakra flowed from his palm into Kushina's body.

Kuo-an entered the city and began to move.

Boom boom boom boom.

In an instant, more than a dozen wooden pillars emerged from the ground around them, forming a circle that looked like a giant cage.

Enveloped Kushina.

The Nine-Tails, having just taken over Kushina's body, hadn't even had a chance to celebrate its freedom and cause a ruckus before it was unexpectedly struck on the head.

It was thrown back into Kushina's body.

In the next few seconds, her tailed beast cloak disappeared rapidly, her tail retracted into her body, and she immediately lost consciousness.

Kisame reached out and caught it.

Almost at the same time.

Swish.

A blond-haired figure appeared out of thin air and landed on the training field.

Minato Namikaze has arrived.

As expected of a yellow flash, it arrived as fast as light.

Kisame narrowed his eyes, immediately took Kushina hostage as a shield, and pressed his index finger, which was holding a sewing needle, against her throat.

"Let her go!"

Upon discovering Kisame, Minato shouted in a panic, gripping his trident-shaped kunai tightly, seeking an opportunity to unleash the Flying Thunder God Technique once more.

"I advise you not to act rashly, Minato Namikaze. Your Flying Thunder God Technique may not be as fast as my sword."

As Kisame spoke, he pierced Kushina's neck with his index finger, which was holding a sewing needle, and blood immediately seeped out.

Who are you, and what do you want?

Minato's expression changed, and he put down the kunai and took a step back.

"You know what? The biggest difference between you and me is that I act without any worries, while you have to protect too many people. That's your fatal weakness. One day, you will die because of it."

Kisame stared at Minato, said these words meaningfully, and then opened his mouth again to activate Hiramekarei Release.

call out.

An energy ball flew out of his mouth, but it wasn't aimed at Minato Namikaze.

Instead, she headed straight for Mikoto and Kakashi, who were unconscious not far away.

explosion occurs.

not good.

Minato quickly activated Flying Thunder God Technique, teleporting to the two of them and rescuing them from the impact of the explosion.

When he turned around, Kisame had already taken Kushina and disappeared into the woods outside the training ground in a few swift movements.

A few minutes later.

In the woods south of Konoha Village, a winding river flows slowly through the forest.

This river is called the Naka River. It was on the riverbank that Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha met and competed to see who could pee the farthest, thus beginning their lifelong love-hate relationship.

Kisame kidnapped Kushina and fled to this place.

His gaze swept over her, his brow furrowed, and he used a needle to pry open the fabric of her clothes at the shoulder. Sure enough, he found the Flying Thunder God technique below her right shoulder.

It consists of two small characters: "忍爱" (patience and love).

It seems that Minato Namikaze had stamped a mark on his woman, which is why he was able to locate Kushina's coordinates and appear in the training ground in an instant.

The Flying Thunder God Technique allows Minato Namikaze to mark his territory everywhere, like a yellow dog urinating.

He can teleport at any time by using the marks he leaves behind, which is very convenient for chasing, ambushing, rescuing people, and escaping.

Kisame was very envious.

However, Kisame also knew that even if he obtained the Flying Thunder God ninjutsu scroll, he would not be able to learn it.

After all, he wasn't a genius; he was just a stupid fish.

"I'll get my stamp too, maybe I'll need it later."

Kisame thought to himself, placing his left hand on Kushina's left shoulder and activating the Exploding Blade Spray ability.

A black "Explosion" character was left on her body.

As Kisame completed the hand seals, the character became faintly visible and quickly disappeared completely from Kushina's skin, disappearing into her body.

This is Kisame's skillful use of the Exploding Blade Spray ability.

The "Explosion" chakra he left in Kushina's body was a very weak chakra, which was not harmful, but also extremely difficult to detect.

It can be seen as a kind of mark.

Kisame used this mark to sense Kushina's whereabouts within a five-kilometer radius.

It will be very convenient for him to take her hostage again when he comes to Konoha next time.

91. I'm here to join you.

Kisame could sense that Kushina was about to wake up.

He wouldn't kill her here, because that could very likely awaken the Nine-Tails again, since the tailed beast and its jinchūriki are mutually dependent.

Moreover, Kisame wouldn't gain anything from killing Kushina; he would only gain his mortal enemy, Minato Namikaze.

For him, the most important thing right now is to go to the Ghost Lantern Castle.

Obtain the Box of Bliss.

With that thought in mind, Kisame threw Kushina on the riverbank and leaped into the Naka River.

He had been gone for less than ten seconds.

Swish.

Minato Namikaze descended again, holding the unconscious Kushina in his arms and carefully checking her for injuries.

In fact, he had been following Kisame from a distance, waiting for an opportunity to rescue his lover.

He appeared immediately after sensing that Kisame's chakra had left.

"Well……"

Kushina lay in Minato's arms, slowly waking up, her eyes blank and confused as she tried to recall what had happened before she lost consciousness.

How are you?

Seeing that she was safe and sound, Minato finally breathed a sigh of relief and asked with concern.

"I am fine."

Kushina had just opened her mouth when she suddenly opened her eyes wide, her expression one of surprise and uncertainty.

"What's wrong?" Minato asked quickly.

"It's Kurama, it said..."

Kushina communicated with the Nine-Tails within her mind, then looked at Minato Namikaze with a solemn expression. "In my half-tailed beast form, I was subdued by the enemy in one move. Kurama was terrified because it sensed the First Hokage's chakra from that person."

She had never seen the Nine-Tails like this before, filled with fear, since she had known it.

"what?!"

Minato Namikaze was shocked upon hearing this.

Just then, another figure hurriedly arrived at the riverbank.

It is Jiraiya.

Minato immediately told his teacher about it.

After hearing this, Jiraiya frowned deeply, his expression becoming more serious than ever before.

He pondered for a moment and then instructed Minato:

"This is of great importance. Take Kushina back to the village immediately and report this to the Third Hokage. I will personally go and track down that enemy."

"Teacher, be careful, the other party's methods are very strange."
