Hoshigaki Kisame had never seen such a strange Summoning Ninja Beast like the Deep Sea Titan. He could only watch the massive anchor cautiously, to avoid being struck again.
After experiencing an anchor attack earlier, Hoshigaki Kisame personally felt the terrifying power it contained! As a member of the Hoshigaki clan, Kisame's physical prowess far exceeded that of ordinary people, yet compared to the Deep Sea Titan, there was still a wide gap!
"Seems like it's clumsy..."
Hoshigaki Kisame grabbed the Shark Skin Greatsword, glancing at the Deep Sea Titan wielding the anchor, a gleam flashing in his shark eyes: "What an opportunity!"
Underwater, Hoshigaki Kisame shot toward Uehara's Summoning Ninja Beast like an arrow released from a bow. His Shark Skin Greatsword surged with force, its handle suddenly extending into a chain wrapping around the Deep Sea Titan's neck!
"Vast Ocean!"
A dull voice emerged from underwater!
Just as Hoshigaki Kisame felt a bit surprised, he saw the Deep Sea Titan raise its foot, the iron spikes on it clearly visible, and then that enormous foot stomped viciously onto the lake bed.
Hoshigaki Kisame instantly felt a tremor in the water, as if an earthquake had occurred, the waves surging outward with the force, shaking him and his sword out!
Uehara Naraku watched Hoshigaki Kisame suffer a setback, chuckling as he looked at him, "Hey, Mr. Kisame, having fun? If you figure it out, you can just tell me the answer, that way you can survive!"
"Hmph, naive brat!"
Hoshigaki Kisame stubbornly wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, yet his face turned extremely grave.
The previous blow from the Deep Sea Titan had not been easy to endure, damaging his internal organs.
Originally, he thought this mission was just to teach a brat a lesson, but unexpectedly, after engaging, he hadn't even fought the real enemy and was already severely injured!
Hoshigaki Kisame dared not hold back any longer, quickly forming hand seals, his palm striking the water's surface: "Water Release: Five Shark!"
Five Water Release sharks quickly formed in the water, swimming toward the Deep Sea Titan, biting at its iron armor!
However, their teeth weren't sharp enough, and in a moment were all smashed into splashes by the anchor.
Every time a Water Shark was shattered, a new one would appear beside Hoshigaki Kisame, swarming, encircling the Deep Sea Titan!
Over and over.
The regenerating Water Sharks were continuously slain.
Hoshigaki Kisame's expression grew more unpleasant, the normally invincible ninjutsu seemed to have met its nemesis.
This ninjutsu was originally meant to conserve chakra and torment enemies, now it felt like a pointless waste of his chakra!
"Shark Skin, it's time to go!"
Hoshigaki Kisame grabbed onto the handle of the Shark Skin Greatsword, crouching as he charged toward the Deep Sea Titan, the barbs on Shark Skin suddenly emerged, revealing its full form.
This was a ninja blade with a mouth.
Within the lake, the steel monster was unfazed, aiming the anchor at Hoshigaki Kisame, sending a shockwave into the ground. The lake water surged like a volcanic eruption, with thick waves gushing out!
This Deep Sea Impact was impossible to evade!
Not only the surrounding Water Sharks but also Hoshigaki Kisame were hit by the waves from the shockwave!
Hoshigaki Kisame couldn't even react before being knocked out of the lake, sprawling embarrassingly on the ground!
The shark-faced youth spat out a mouthful of blood, every part of his body aching painfully, yet he just gritted his teeth and endured.
Hoshigaki Kisame didn't rest, merely watching the anchor flying toward him, knowing if he took another hit, he might lose his life!
"I can only try that move!"
Hoshigaki Kisame quickly formed another seal, coldly glancing at Uehara Naraku on the tree, and said in a deep voice: "Brat, pray you find a stronger Summoning Beast in the future! Water Release: Great Shark Bomb Jutsu!"
A gigantic shark formed beside him, circling around Kisame once, gradually growing incredibly large, even larger than the Deep Sea Titan, the massive shark with a maw full of teeth swam toward the Deep Sea Titan.
To allow the shark to swallow the Deep Sea Titan, Hoshigaki Kisame spared no chakra in nurturing it to a sufficiently large size!
In a moment, the Water Shark bit down, swallowing the Deep Sea Titan, but the whole shark immediately exploded, stirring up massive waves!
A cloud of smoke dispersed in the water.
Uehara Naraku's summoned tall Deep Sea Titan disappeared without a trace, its summoning time having reached its limit. Though it was effective against Hoshigaki Kisame in normal battle, it was particularly countered by Kisame's strongest ninjutsu.
Water Release: Great Shark Bomb Jutsu is a technique that grows stronger by consuming the enemy's chakra, able to counter almost any chakra-abundant opponent.
Although Hoshigaki Kisame defeated Uehara Naraku's Summoning Beast, his own condition wasn't impressive.
To eliminate a Summoning Beast, Kisame's chakra was nearly exhausted, his body heavily injured, unsure how many bones were broken.
"Shark Skin, over here!"
Hoshigaki Kisame tugged the handle of Shark Skin, greedily feeling the remaining chakra within to desperately heal his injuries, yet it wasn't nearly enough!
"Ninpo: Summoning Jutsu!"
Hoshigaki Kisame quickly formed hand seals, summoning a swarm of sharks, instructing Shark Skin to devour them one by one to replenish chakra and heal wounds.
At the start of the battle, Kisame wanted to kill Uehara Naraku's Summoning Beast to teach the brat a severe lesson, yet now he had to rely on consuming his own sharks to recover his body and chakra.
Uehara Naraku didn't intervene, just watching Hoshigaki Kisame's actions with interest, even good-naturedly offering, "Mr. Kisame, need a hand? I can grill shark fin, I learned top-notch barbecue skills from my teacher..."
"..."
Hoshigaki Kisame ignored the taunt, just gripping the Shark Skin Greatsword, slowly standing as the shark swarm was devoured by Shark Skin, his wounds gradually healing.
At least he could fight for a while longer.
The battle wasn't over yet!
"Water Release: Thousand Shark!"
Hoshigaki Kisame swiftly formed hand seals, slamming his palm onto the water's surface as a thousand Water Sharks leapt from the water, charging toward Uehara Naraku!
"What a pity, I'm not good at Fire Release Ninjutsu..."
The young ninja's mouth still wore a smile, lazily tossing several paper bombs, slowly raising his fingers, softly murmuring: "Ninpo: Tandem Paper Bomb!"
A series of explosions echoed in the air!
Each paper bomb was equivalent to a Jonin-level Fire Release Ninjutsu, tens of thousands of paper bombs detonated in succession, the scorching flames instantly evaporating the Thousand Shark into vapor!
Hoshigaki Kisame involuntarily swallowed: "..."
This guy, is he burning money...
Ten thousand paper bombs, in a scarce place like The Hidden Mist Village, could be sold for over a billion ryo.
The smoke and steam hadn't yet dissipated when Hoshigaki Kisame felt a pain in his shoulder, a card piercing through the smoke, stabbed into him!
"Brat, do you think you can escape my sight!"
Hoshigaki Kisame swung the Shark Skin Greatsword, striking toward the strange spot within the smoke. He could instantly judge someone's presence in that location!
Bang!
The Shark Skin Greatsword struck as if hitting a steel plate!
Hoshigaki Kisame's knuckles were painfully jolted, Shark Skin itself yelping in pain!
A youthful voice emerged from the smoke: "Mr. Kisame, perhaps you shouldn't be so arrogant in front of me?"
