"That kid is Kisame? What a ruthless character."
"He is like a monster."
Since he used the "Crazy Dog Flow" body technique in front of the Mizukage Building to defeat more than one enemy, Kisame has gained a small reputation in the village these days, and is known as the "Mad Dog Kisame".
Kisame ignored the other people in the gym and focused on fitness.
At this time, he was doing supine leg lifts with equipment, and he had reached the edge of exhaustion.
This is the last set of moves, and it's three more to complete today's training.
"Aaahh!"
Kisame let out a low roar, cheering for himself, as the blue veins in his legs burst out, exhausting all the strength of his lower body, he finally pushed it up.
Three, two, one.
After finishing the last action, Kisame took a deep breath, took off the belt, and slowly lowered his trembling legs.
Under the astonished eyes of others, he almost leaned against the wall and moved out of the gym step by step. Those trembling legs made people suspect that he would fall down at any time.
"This kid is ruthless towards the enemy and even more ruthless towards himself. Don't provoke him."
A Kirigakure ninja looked at the back of Kisame who was leaving and sighed from the bottom of his heart. His remarks made the rest of them agree, and nodded in agreement.
At the corner of the street, a figure appeared silently, watching Kisame go away.
It is Zabuza.
"Exercise, is it useful?"
No longer muttering to himself, he let out a disdainful laugh. In his opinion, actual combat is the best exercise. The more people you kill, the more powerful you will naturally become.
With his ruthless and bellicose nature, when he was at the Mizukage Building that day, he set his sights on the interesting prey, Kisame.
'I still have a task at hand, and I need to leave the village for a while. When I comes back, I must find Kisame and have a good fight with the latter.'
Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth are raised, and he turns to leave.
The days that followed were uneventful.
Kisame woke up at three o'clock every day, goes to the gym in the morning to exercise, going to the forest to practice in the afternoon, and going home to sleep at night.
Before he knew it, three months had passed.
In the gym, Kisame took off his shirt and looked at himself in the mirror.
Three months ago, he was a 12 year old boy, 1.7 meters tall and 65 kilograms in weight, looking young and childish.
Three months later, he is still 12 years old, but his height has soared to 1.85 meters and his weight has soared to 100 kilograms, becoming a muscular man.
If it weren't for that shark face, it's hard to believe it's the same person before and after.
At this time, Kisame has a perfect body with an inverted triangle, blue veins on his arms, eight-pack abs like a washboard, and strong legs. And the most eye-catching is his two chest muscles, it is the perfect chest shape that all fitness enthusiasts dream of.
This figure was earned by him after three months of hell training and countless sweat and blood.
Kisame clenched his fists, and there was a "kaka" sound from his bones. The explosive sense of power continuously came from his muscles, which made him feel extremely comfortable.
With his current body, even if he swallowed two more swords in one breath, there would be no problem.
Moreover, Kisame can feel that his potential has only been initially developed, and it is far from over.
After all, in the anime, the adult Kisame is 1.95 meters tall, the tallest in Akatsuki's organization, and one of the members of Ninja's "Giant Club".
Unfortunately, Kisame's fitness plan will be temporarily suspended for a period of time.
As a low class person in the village, he rested due to injury and had not performed tasks for three months, and his "vacation" had already reached its limit.
In addition, there is a more important reason.
Suna Ninja has come to the Land of Water again.
Previously, Sunagakure competed for ore and iron resources on the peninsula of the southern sea. In the end, it was Kirigakure who got close to it first, relying on convenient maritime traffic conditions and strong surface combat capabilities to successfully control the mining island.
Faced with this result, the senior officials of Sunagakure would naturally not be reconciled, so they repeated used old tricks and sent a small secret force to infiltrate the territory of the Land of Water and destroy them everywhere.
Just now, Kisame received a notice and was asked to report to the mission release office early tomorrow morning, and set off with the team to search for the enemy.
He has to prepare well.
Thinking of this, Kisame went into the bathroom to take a shower, then put on his clothes and prepared to leave the gym.
"It's raining?"
When he came out of the bathroom, he saw through the window that under the gloomy sky, the drizzle was falling, and the pedestrians on the street hurriedly walked, looking for a place to hide from the rain.
Kisame picked up the umbrella and pushed out the door.
He walked in the rain with big strides, and after crossing two streets, he suddenly saw a soft back with long red hair not far ahead, and she looked familiar.
Is it her?
Kisame was slightly surprised and walked up quietly.
In the rain.
Terumi Mei lowered her head and frowned, walking slowly on the street, as if she had something on her mind.
She didn't have an umbrella, and her clothes and hair were soaked by the drizzle, but she didn't realize it, and just walked forward aimlessly.
Just a few hours ago, Terumi Mei was offered to take part in the mission of encircling and suppressing the Suna ninja, but was rejected by the clan elders.
The reason is that it is too dangerous.
After all, the Kirigakure ninjas who were sent out on this mission last time were almost wiped out, and even Kurosuki Raiga, one of the seven ninja swordsmen, died in the hands of the enemy.
And this time, although the Mizukage sent the Heartless duo to the search and suppression team mission as their leader, but those two guys are notoriously crazy and never take the lives of their subordinates seriously.
Therefore, Terumi Mei's family would never allow her to take risks on the first day in her family.
This kind of dangerous mission, let the inferior ninjas in the village go, anyway, there are many inferior people.
Suddenly, a shadow appeared beside Terumi Mei, interrupting her thoughts.
The rain... stopped?
Terumi Mei noticed the difference and raised her head in surprise, only to find that it was a tall young man holding an umbrella to block the rain for her.
"Rain water is not good for your health."
As the man said that, he handed the umbrella in his hand to Terumi Mei.
"Thank you."
Terumi Mei took the umbrella from the other person's hand, and the more she looked, the more familiar she felt, especially the shark pattern on his cheek, which looked like... an old classmate of hers.
"Are you... Kisame?!"
She covered her lips with one hand, widened her eyes, and asked in surprise.
The last time Terumi Mei saw Kisame was three months ago. She still had a fresh memory of the fight that took place in the open space in front of the Mizukage Building, that refreshed her understanding of this old classmate.
Unexpectedly, after only two or three months, Kisame has changed from a young boy to a burly man in front of her.
Terumi Mei was shocked by this.
"It's me."
Kisame nodded and explained casually, "I seem to have entered adolescence, and my body has begun to develop rapidly. In addition, I have recently been keen on fitness exercises, and I have gained a lot of muscle, so I have become like this."
After saying these words, Kisame had no intention of staying any longer, and continued to move forward.
He didn't have any special thoughts about Mei, but he just helped out because he saw his old classmate getting wet in the rain.
"Wait a minute."
Terumi Mei looked at the back of Kisame and stood still for a moment, then quickly chased after him. Because she found that after Kisame handed her the umbrella, he had no umbrella himself.
And the rain is getting heavier.
"Let's use the umbrella together."
She tilted her head and grinned at Kisame, then held an umbrella and walked side by side with him.
Terumi Mei is a very thoughtful person. She has keenly discovered that this old classmate who has been in the same class for many years seems to have undergone some unknown changes in the recent period.
Terumi Mei was very curious about this, so she wanted to take this opportunity to walk in the rain to have a chat with Kisame to reveal the mysterious veil on the latter.
But Kisame stopped, pointed to the gills on his face, and said to Mei Terumi:
"You forgot, I'm a fish, and I won't catch a cold no matter how much wet I get. I've given you this umbrella. I still have something to do, so I'll go first."
Under the stunned gaze of Terumi Mei, Kisame strode away and walked into the white rain curtain.
"Hey."
Terumi Mei came back to her senses and subconsciously reached out to hold him back, but Kisame had already disappeared.
So, she could only withdraw that hand angrily and hold the umbrella handle.
"Although he looks a bit fierce, he is friendly and has a very gentle voice. He is really a warm man."
Terumi Mei stood in the rain and muttered to herself.
In her initial impression, Kisame is a withdrawn person. Whether in the ninja school or in the village, he has always been alone and has no friends.
Later, she saw the forbearance and ruthlessness of Kisame in the face of the enemy, which is beast like and has dangerous temperament.
At this time, she saw the other side of this man's kindness.
What kind of person is Kisame?
Terumi Mei thought so, and became more and more curious about Kisame.
Of course, this curiosity does not contain admiration, after all, like many girls, she only likes handsome guys.
When Terumi Mei was in a daze in the rain, Kisame walked into a ninja shop on the side of the road.
At the store, he spent most of his savings on a body armor, shuriken, and a lot of exploding tags. In addition, he also prepared "ninja tools" such as lime powder and chili water in advance at home.
He knew that this mission was more dangerous than the previous one, and in order to survive, he had to be fully prepared.
What's more, the goal of Kisame is not just to survive.
Because he has already inquired, in order to deal with Scorch release Pakura, among the seven members of the ninja swordsman, Kuriarare Kushimaru and Munashi Jinpachi will be dispatched.
This means that the opportunity for Kisame has come.
After purchasing the required ninja gear, on the way home, Kisame has been thinking about the action plan for tomorrow.
First of all, he made a simple assessment of his current strength.
After three months of fitness training, his chakra has grown significantly and has reached the level of Jonin.
In addition, with the help of Water Escape Ninjutsu, Unlimited Taijutsu, and Sharktail Lightning Whip, his fighting power that burst out in a short period of time, can even compete with elites like the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.
That is to say, as long as Pakura and the Heartless duo fight, no matter who is superior or inferior, Kisame is powerful enough to change the situation of the battle.
Therefore, Kisame decided to wait for the opportunity. The best situation is that Pakura and the Heartless duo will lose both, so that he can take advantage and maximize his own interests.
After some time, the rain stopped, and Kisame walked to the door of his house.
He was about to reach out to push the door, but his eyes narrowed and he stopped.
Because, Kisame found an extremely thin wire, looming around the doorknob, looking like some kind of trap.
Next second, the steel wire made a "squeak" and shot towards Kisame. Although he was on guard and dodged in time, he touched the steel wire as it flew past his cheek, leaving a long and narrow cut on his face.
Blood seeped out.
However, Kisame didn't have time to treat the wound, because in a few seconds, a thick fog came from all directions and quickly engulfed his wooden house.
The visibility around him suddenly dropped to less than two meters.
Hidden Mist Technique.
This is a kind of ninjutsu that the Kirigaze ninja is good at. The principle is to use chakra to roll up the water to create mist to confuse the enemy's sight in order to launch an assassination or sneak attack.
The concentration of the fog is determined by the caster's chakra volume.
To be able to quickly create such a large dense fog, the attacker is at least Jonin.
'Who is it?'
Kisame kept silent, and speculated on his opponent's identity while guarding against the enemy's attack in the thick fog.
Is it someone from Kirigakure, or an enemy outside the village? Why target him? Could it be that the matter that he killed Kurosuki Raiga was exposed?
For a time, many thoughts flashed in Kisame's mind, and he prepared for the worst.
At this time.
There was another sound, and an unknown attack rushed out of the thick fog and went straight to him.
Kisame instinctively leaned back, dodging the attack again. This time, he finally saw what was attacking him. It was a large slender needle with an extremely slender and sharp steel thread tied to the end of the needle.
This thing is...
One of the seven ninja swords, Nuibari.
Then, the identity of the attacker is obvious.
"Puff!"
After the long sword flew over Kisame's head, the blade stabbed into the wooden door behind him. Immediately afterwards, with a huge pulling force coming from the other end of the weapon, the door of Kisame's house was torn away.
Boom!
The upside-down door slammed on Kisame, sending him up on the spot, who drew an arc in the air and fell into the river in front of the house.
A tall and thin figure emerged from the thick fog.
He has an amazing amount of hair, with long yellow hair like a lion, and a mask of dark shadows on his face, exuding a cold-blooded and ferocious temperament. This person is extremely tall, more than two meters one, but his limbs are very slender and look quite strange.
He is Kirigakure's "Needle of Death". At the age of twenty, he became one of the seven ninja swordsmen, and the user of Nuibari - Kuriarare Kushimaru.
"Hey, did he become unconscious?"
Kuriarare Kushimaru touched his chin and looked at the calm water, as there was no sign of Kisame.
He squatted down on the shore, and was about to take a closer look at the movement of the bottom of the water, when five shark-shaped water bombs suddenly jumped out of the water, opening their mouths and rushing towards him.
'Oh?'
Kuriarare Kushimaru raised his eyebrows, jumped back nimbly, and jumped five or six meters away.
At the same time, he threw out the Nuibari in his hand, only to hear a series of "puff puff" sounds. Nuibari fluttered flexibly, like a grilled fish skewer, stringing five shark water bombs together.
They squeezed together, struggled for a moment, and then turned into chakra and dissipated with a "bang".
"Little devil, get out of the water!"
Kuriarare Kushimaru let out a weird laugh, and the Nuibari flew out again, entering the water like lightning, turning the river turbulent in a moment.
Underwater.
Kisame saw the Nuibari that came, and after dealing with it for a while, he found that the Kuriarare Kushimaru seemed... to not want to kill him?
