"No way!"
"Good heavens! Is this guy really just a Genin? He's a total monster!"
Asuma and Kurenai, who had underestimated Kazama moments ago, were now utterly floored by his jaw-dropping performance.
They hadn't even caught *how* Kazama sent Kisame Hoshigaki flying. The details didn't matter anymore—only the outcome did.
And Kazama had delivered on his bold promise: to thrash Kisame and claim Samehada.
"Not bad at all," muttered Uchiha Itachi, who'd been watching the fight closely.
He'd seen everything clearly. The moment Kisame charged at Kazama, a mysterious flame flared around Kazama's body, completely deflecting Kisame's attack. It wasn't so much that Kazama defeated Kisame—it was more like Kisame got taken down by his own assault.
That mysterious flame was Kazama's recently acquired *Volcanic Stone Flame*. With it, his physical defense was now nigh impenetrable. Normally invisible, the flame would ignite on his skin the instant he was attacked, blocking and reflecting everything thrown at him.
"Kid, you really think stealing my Samehada means you can wield it?" Kisame snarled, sprawled on the ground but still defiant, a cold smirk on his face. "Let me tell you, brat, Samehada's no ordinary weapon. It's got a mind of its own, and it's loyal to *me*! Samehada, take him out!"
With Kisame's roar, the Samehada in Kazama's grip suddenly opened its gaping, toothy maw.
But Kazama seemed to have anticipated this. A surge of chakra, rivaling that of a Tailed Beast, erupted from him.
The sheer force sent everyone around staggering backward. Even Samehada, the bloodthirsty blade, trembled in fear under the weight of Kazama's overwhelming chakra.
"What the—how's this possible?!" Kisame gasped.
This nobody, this *Kazama*, was unleashing chakra so potent that even Samehada was intimidated. For the first time, the fearless Kisame Hoshigaki felt a flicker of dread.
"Samehada feeds on chakra," Kazama said coolly. "The more chakra you've got, the more it likes you. So, from today on, this is *my* Samehada."
"You bastard! I, Kisame Hoshigaki, won't be beaten by you!" Kisame roared, humiliated as Kazama claimed his weapon in front of everyone.
"Water Style: Water Shark Bullet Technique!"
"Perfect, I was waiting for your Water Style!" Kazama grinned.
*Ding! Successfully absorbed Water Shark Bullet Technique. Congratulations, Host, you've acquired Great Shark Bullet Technique!*
*Ding! Absorb seven more ninjutsu to unlock the eighth Strange Flame: Fire Cloud Water Flame!*
"Fire Cloud Water Flame, huh? After that, it's Sea Heart Flame, then Fallen Heart Flame. Not as fast as absorbing a Tailed Beast Bomb, but it'll do. Let's take it slow," Kazama mused.
"Now, Kisame, try my Water Style: Great Shark Bullet Technique!"
Having absorbed Kisame's jutsu, Kazama turned it right back on him. Caught off guard, Kisame was sent sprawling once again.
"You punk! You dare steal my Water Style?!" Kisame bellowed, furious that Kazama not only absorbed his Water Shark Bullet but used an even stronger version against him.
"Then kill me if you can," Kazama taunted. "Otherwise, I'll keep using your own jutsu to beat you."
"You little runt, you're crossing the line! Water Style: Explosive Water Crash!"
*Ding! Successfully absorbed Explosive Water Crash. Congratulations, Host, you've acquired Great Explosive Water Crash!*
*Ding! Absorb six more ninjutsu to unlock the eighth Strange Flame!*
"Water Style: Five Feeding Sharks!"
*Ding! Successfully absorbed Five Feeding Sharks. Congratulations, Host, you've acquired Thousand Feeding Sharks!*
*Ding! Absorb five more ninjutsu to unlock the eighth Strange Flame!*
"Damn it! Are you even human?!" Kisame panted.
Even Kisame, the so-called "Tailless Tailed Beast," was gasping for breath after unleashing multiple S-rank ninjutsu in a row. But Kazama? He looked completely unfazed.
"Keep it coming, Kisame! You're *this* close to beating me!" Kazama mocked.
Kisame nearly coughed up blood from sheer rage. "You little punk, I'll kill you today!"
"Enough, Kisame!" Itachi stepped in, blocking Kisame's path. "You're no match for him. Keep fighting, and you'll die from chakra exhaustion."
His crimson Sharingan locked onto Kazama, sizing him up.
