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

"Lord Wuwei is about to speak. Everyone, prick up your ears and listen carefully."

A prison guard stepped forward and berated the prisoners.

Then, a man with long black hair and a resolute face walked out from behind the prison guards. He was wearing a magnificent cloak and looked to be under thirty years old, yet he was already the lord of Ghost Lantern Castle.

"I am Wuwei, the person in charge of this prison."

Wuwei's cold, emotionless gaze swept over each person in turn, and he said in a ruthless tone, "Being sent here means your village no longer trusts you. In other words, you are worthless trash..."

Before he could finish speaking...

"No, I don't want to die in a place like this!"

A Cloud Shadow ninja suddenly roared hysterically. He turned and charged at the gate, knocking down two guards blocking his way, and even formed hand seals to unleash a ninjutsu, attempting to break down the gate and escape.

Make a desperate attempt.

Wuwei frowned, walked over unhurriedly, and said coldly, "We, the Cao Ren, have been entrusted by various countries and will never allow the imprisoned prisoners to escape."

Whoosh.

He suddenly rushed towards the Cloud Ninja at an extremely fast speed, slapping the latter in the chest with a palm and sending him flying.

boom!

Yunren slammed into the prison gate with a thud, then fell to the ground.

"what is this?"

He lifted his clothes in horror and found complex red patterns on his upper body, like burning flame chains.

The person wanted to resist, but as soon as he finished the hand seals, he felt dizzy and his body felt completely drained.

Two guards rushed up and beat the Yun ninja with the butts of their rifles, quickly knocking him unconscious.

"Take him away and put him in solitary confinement."

With a blank expression, Wuwei gave an order, then turned to the remaining prisoners and continued, "The ninjutsu I just used is called Fire Release: Heavenly Prison, a confinement technique passed down in my family. It was because of this move that I was able to take over Hozuki Castle and become the warden of this prison."

Let me emphasize again, there are only two ways for you people to leave this place. Either your village sends a formal request, or... you die here.

His voice was cold and indifferent.

From the moment he started, Kisame had been observing Muu.

Fire Release: Heavenly Prison is an extremely powerful sealing technique, whose power is even greater than that of the Uzumaki clan's Vajra Lockdown.

In the original story, Naruto learned Sage Mode and had just defeated Pain, who had invaded Konoha. However, due to insufficient defense, he was still subdued by Wuwei in one move.

The Fire Release: Heavenly Prison technique restricts prisoners from gathering chakra, rendering them unable to use any ninjutsu and turning them into complete cripples.

Relying solely on physical strength and using pure taijutsu, most ninjas are not much stronger than ordinary people. They are utterly powerless against the matchlock guns in the hands of prison guards.

Moreover, if a prisoner attempts to escape, the sealing spell will transform into chains of fire, burning them alive.

But as the saying goes: every technique has its weaknesses, and Fire Release: Heavenly Prison is no exception.

Kisame, on the other hand, is not afraid of the ineffective sealing technique...

On his way here, he had already thought things through and formulated a strategy in his mind.

So Kisame stepped forward and bowed slightly, saying:

"Greetings, Master Wuwei."

93. Jiao Zhuo’s Prison

Oh?

Wuwei looked at the tall, unusually handsome Kisame in front of him; in fact, he had noticed this person long ago.

"Who are you? You don't seem to be on today's list of prisoners?" he asked.

"My lord, I am Kisame Hoshigaki, a notorious criminal from Kirigakure. I arrived ahead of time." Kisame briefly explained his situation.

Wuwei took out the roster and checked it. Sure enough, he found that Kisame Hoshigaki was originally scheduled to arrive at Hozuki Castle in half a month.

"So, you came here on your own without being escorted by Hidden Mist ninja, and you even arrived half a month early to serve your sentence. Why did you do that?"

When Wuwei learned about Kisame's situation, he was surprised.

This was the first time he had ever seen such a peculiar prisoner since he took charge of Ghost Lantern Castle.

"Your Honor, I have come to atone for my sins. Only in this prison can my conscience find peace and I achieve self-redemption."

Kisame's eyes dimmed, as if he felt guilty and remorseful for the sins he had committed.

"Sigh, if only every prisoner could be this conscientious."

Upon hearing this, Wuwei's expression softened, and he looked at Kisame with new respect. But immediately afterward, he stepped forward and struck Kisame in the chest with a palm, knocking the latter back.

Ding Deng Deng.

Kisame took several steps back, knelt on the ground, lifted his clothes and saw that the sealing technique of Fire Release: Heavenly Prison had indeed appeared on his upper body.

Wuwei walked over and looked down at Kisame:

"No matter what kind of prisoner I am, I will treat them all the same. Trying to get close to me is useless."

"Yes, my lord."

Kisame replied, head bowed, clutching his chest in pain.

But in reality, he wasn't in any pain at all.

Just as Kisame predicted.

The Fire Release: Heavenly Prison of Nothingness sealed his chakra, but not completely.

That's because this technique is designed for humans, sealing the acupoints and meridians within the body, preventing chakra from condensing and circulating.

Kisame is actually a creature that is neither human nor non-human.

His body, modified by cheat devices and various ninja tools, was already vastly different from that of a normal person.

Fire Release: Heavenly Prison did indeed suppress Kisame's chakra to some extent, preventing him from easily using ninjutsu, especially large-scale water-style ninjutsu.

However, most of the abilities Kisame gained after absorbing the ninja sword remained unaffected and could still be used normally.

A blunt skull, blood-sucking fangs, a stitched index finger, a shattered left arm, and a shark-tail lightning whip.

Even while trapped in the Fire Release: Heavenly Prison, Kisame still retained more than 60% of his strength, more than enough to use.

Moreover, as the name suggests, Fire Release: Heavenly Prison is a fire-style sealing technique, and its weakness is that it is afraid of water.

If Kisame were to encounter a truly critical situation, he could forcibly gather chakra and create a water-style ninjutsu to render the fire-style prison ineffective.

In other words.

Wuwei's sealing of Kisame was essentially sealing away loneliness, relying entirely on the latter's own will.

in fact.

Kisame initially considered the most direct method: to take action immediately after entering Hozuki Castle and take over the prison.

With his abilities, he has the opportunity to do it.

However, the risk is too great.

If Kisame fails to control all the prison guards and prisoners during this process, and even one person escapes and informs the major countries and ninja villages, the plot will be exposed.

Moreover, according to Kisame, Muu is a cruel and ruthless ambitious man, backed by the high-ranking forces of Kusagakure.

To open the Box of Bliss and restore the Grass Ninja's former glory, Wuwei was even willing to sacrifice his own son. Once he learns of Kisame's intentions, he will undoubtedly spare no effort to protect the secret of the Box of Bliss.

Hozuki Castle isn't particularly large, but it's not small either. It won't be easy for Kisame to find the hidden Chest of Elysium in a short time.

Thinking about this, he felt a little regretful.

I should have found a way to bring Hozuki Mangetsu to jail too.

Hozuki Mangetsu's water-form body is completely unafraid of the Fire Release: Heavenly Prison. In his slime form, he can also sneak into the prison undetected to gather intelligence.

That should be of great help.

Hozuki Mangetsu, far away in the Hidden Mist Village, suddenly felt a chill.

There's a third reason why Kisame didn't act immediately.

The Box of Bliss is a Six Paths level ninja tool. Kisame would have to spend a lot of time and effort to devour it without any chance of success.

Otherwise, if he were to be devoured by it and become nourishment for "enlightenment," then his life would come to an end.

Devouring the Chest of Elysium was, from the very beginning, a crazy and risky act.

For Kisame, he needs to be fully prepared, both physically and mentally.

In view of the above three points.

Kisame decided to first infiltrate the prison as a criminal and lie low. Once he had figured out the situation in Hozuki Castle and confirmed the location of the Box of Elysium, he would then seize the opportunity to make his move.

Haste makes waste; taking things slowly is the best approach.

"Take them to prison."

In the open space, after Wuwei placed the Fire Escape Heavenly Prison seal on each prisoner, he gave instructions to the prison guards.

"Come on!"

Several prison guards immediately picked up their batons and shouted at them, escorting Kisame and the others towards the cell.

Before entering prison, there is a body search. Inmates have to take off their clothes and have every corner of their body carefully checked by prison guards, and hand over any suspicious items hidden on their bodies.

Any valuables they carried would be confiscated on the spot, and if dangerous items were found, they would be severely beaten.

"Wow, this is huge..."

A prison guard looked Kisame up and down, his gaze finally settling on the latter's private parts.

Tsk amazed.

This muscular shark guy clearly likes men, after all, what normal person would build muscles to such an exaggerated degree?

This excessive fitness behavior is clearly aimed at attracting the same sex.
