CH 39

At this time, Kisame Hoshigaki, who had not joined the Akatsuki, was recently active on the border between Amagakure and the Land of Fire. This was also the news that Tomihashi had received before he went to Konoha.

At this time, Kisame Hoshigaki stared at Washi, his right hand stretched back, and pinched the shark skin in his hand.

In the eyes of Kisame Hoshigaki, the older Washi was obviously more threatening. As for the white-haired child next to him, it was a bonus.

“My broadsword wants to taste your chakra.” Kisame Hoshigaki took the shark muscle in front of him, pointed forward, and pointed in Washi’s direction.

Kisame Hoshigaki’s action made Tobirama very dissatisfied. This meant that he completely ignored me? Unforgivable!

“Water Release – Water Colliding Wave”

The dissatisfied Tobirama clapped his hands. A tornado made of water appeared out of thin air, and the river water that was wrapped around the small river rose rapidly. When the water reached the air, it suddenly changed direction and smashed towards Kisame Hoshigaki.

“What?” Kisame Hoshigaki, who was holding Samehada, was shocked. How could this child’s Ninjutsu be so powerful?

“Boom!”

Before Kisame Hoshigaki could finish thinking, the water wave controlled by Tobirama had already hit the target. The entire land with Kisame Hoshigaki as the center was directly plowed by the water current.

“Water Release probably isn’t very useful.” Washi, who was familiar with Kisame Hoshigaki’s attributes, said to him after Tobirama slapped out the Water Colliding Wave.

This Kisame Hoshigaki was an expert in Water Release, and he still had shark skin on his hands. The effect of Water Release basically had no effect on him.

Sure enough, just as Washi finished speaking, Kisame Hoshigaki jumped out from the water that had yet to disperse. In the air, Kisame Hoshigaki began to form seals. “Water Release – Water Colliding Wave!”

Half of the water that Tobirama had created had been absorbed by Kisame Hoshigaki, and now he was returning it to Washi.

“Water Release – Water Formation Wall!”

Tobirama’s hand seals were quite fast. After two or three times, a water wall appeared around him, wrapping him and Washi within it.

Washi, on the other hand, was preparing a Great Fire Ball. When the water wall disappeared, Washi’s hand seals had already been completed. “Fire Release – Great Fire Ball Technique!”

Washi, who had predicted Kisame Hoshigaki’s landing point, immediately spat out the fireball the moment the water wall disappeared. The flames collided with the water droplets that had yet to dissipate, causing a burst of smoke.

“Boom!”

The battlefield roared once again. Kisame Hoshigaki, who had just endured the attack of Tobirama’s Water Release Technique, welcomed Washi’s fireball again.

However, just a fireball would not cause too much damage to Kisame Hoshigaki. When the flames dissipated, the scene of Kisame Hoshigaki holding the shark skin in front of him appeared in Washi’s eyes.

“It’s not a saber?” Because of the fireball attack, the strip of cloth wrapped around the shark muscle had already been burned, revealing the original body of the shark muscle. Tobirama looked at the squirming shark skin blade and asked doubtfully.

After Washi released a Ninjutsu, he felt that it was not bad. He did not hurry to answer Tobirama’s question. Instead, he began to form seals again, preparing to attack Kisame Hoshigaki.

“Wood Release – Silent Strangle Jutsu!”

This was one of the few Wood Release that Washi had learned. When Washi finished forming the seals, a wooden strip suddenly extended out from the nearby bushes. It stuck to the ground and quickly rushed towards Kisame Hoshigaki.

“What the hell is this?” When Kisame Hoshigaki’s foot was entangled, he lowered his head to look at his foot. “Wood? Wood Release?”

“Wood Release!” Although Kisame Hoshigaki was a traitor, when he was in the village, he had also studied in the Ninja School. He had some understanding of all kinds of Kekkei Genkai, and Wood Release was one of the most valued ones among the many Kekkei Genkai.

Thinking of this, Kisame Hoshigaki suddenly raised his head and looked at Washi, “Impossible, this isn’t Konoha’s Hashirama, is he a member of Senju Clan?”

At this time, Kisame Hoshigaki look at his opponent, waving the Samehada in his hand and interrupting Silent Strangle Jutsu, “Senju?”

“That’s right, it’s Senju. You should be honored to die in Senju’ hands.” As a true member of the Senju Clan, Tobirama was the first to answer.

Sure enough!

Kisame Hoshigaki grinned. Senju, I haven’t killed him yet.

“The ones who should be honored are you guys. Remember, my name is Kisame Hoshigaki!” As Kisame Hoshigaki spoke, he raised his Samehada and charged towards the two of them. “Samehada!”

“Water Release – Water Bomb!”

When Kisame Hoshigaki violently swung down, Tobirama raised his hand and a water bomb that was like steel descended from the sky, enveloping the area in front of him.

Kisame Hoshigaki, who was attacking, had no choice but to switch to defense. He placed Samehada above his head and avoided the water bomb of Tobirama.

“You kid, you are quite interesting.” After the water bomb, Kisame Hoshigaki stood up and said to Tobirama with a smile. The stronger the opponent, the more excited Kisame Hoshigaki became.

However, in the face of Kisame Hoshigaki’s provocation, Washi responded with two ninjutsu.

“Water Release – Water Dragon Biting Explosion!”

“Wood Release – Wood Spike Ring!”

Washi and Tobirama’s voices rang out at the same time. Washi first cast Wood Spike Ring, and a few wooden stakes surrounded Kisame Hoshigaki. Several small wooden strips in the middle began to bind him again.

Meanwhile, Tobirama’s Water Escape Technique formed a large water vortex under his feet. After Washi trapped Kisame Hoshigaki, the water vortex suddenly rose up, forming a water dragon that roared and attacked Kisame Hoshigaki.

Kisame Hoshigaki, who was being controlled by Wood Spike Ring, was unable to dodge. The Samehada in his hand was also wrapped by the wooden strip, and he could only forcefully endure this attack.

“Phew, haha.” After the water flowed, Kisame Hoshigaki, whose clothes were somewhat tattered, was not angry, but instead laughed, “Samehada!”

Under the control of Kisame Hoshigaki, the Samehada in his hand began to quickly devour wooden strip that wrapped around it. In a short while, the entire wooden strip that Wood Spike Ring had on the Samaheda was completely swallowed up. The Samaheda still looked like it had not eaten its fill, and the blade directly pointed towards Washi. It seemed that there was something attractive about Washi’s chakra.

Kisame Hoshigaki’s struggle was more violent. He, who had a strange power, suddenly exerted force, and Wood Spike Ring’s wooden stick was completely split open, collapsing around him.

“Water Release – Water Colliding Wave!”

Kisame Hoshigaki, who had broken free, was no longer prepared to fight, and was ready to turn the battlefield into an ocean.

“Interrupt him!” Sensing the powerful chakra flow, Tobirama realized that something was wrong and quickly said.

Washi also saw Kisame Hoshigaki who was quickly forming seals, “You found this yourself.”

After saying that, Washi directly took out a kunai in his pocket, threw it forward, and threw it in the direction of Kisame Hoshigaki.

The speed of Washi throwing was not fast. The Samaheda beside Kisame Hoshigaki believed that he could easily block this kunai in his hand, but when the Samaheda touched this kunai, a golden flash suddenly lit up.
