Naruto, Guy, and Itachi stood on the gradually calming water surface, carefully observing the water, with Naruto especially opening his mini-map.
They believed that Kisame Hoshigaki would definitely not be easily taken down by such an attack, so he might launch an attack from underwater soon.
"Guy Sensei, be careful!" Naruto reminded.
"Understood!" Guy didn't actually need Naruto to remind him, quickly jumping backward to dodge Samehada, which was slashing upwards from below.
That's right, after careful consideration, Kisame first targeted Guy. This guy looked like the weakest one, so he decided to take him out first!
Missing the first strike, Kisame quickly formed hand seals: "Water Release: Rain of Four Sharks!"
Four shark-like creatures, each the size of a person, leaped out of the water and flew towards Guy with their mouths open.
The tomoe in Itachi's eyes swirled, Hmm, learned it.
"Konoha Strong Whirlwind!" Guy jumped slightly, sweeping a powerful roundhouse kick, scattering the four shark-like creatures.
But Kisame revealed a confident smile. Who would have thought that this move had a second stage attack?
Of course, it was Naruto: "Water Release: Water Formation Wall!"
The four shark-like creatures that Guy had scattered turned into palm-sized sharks, crashing into the Water Formation Wall that Naruto had created for Guy.
"Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Flower Claw Crimson!" Itachi, of course, wasn't idle either. Besides helping Naruto pirate Kisame's Ninjutsu, he also helped Naruto strike at the original.
This behavior is like... never mind.
"Water Release: Water Formation Wall!" Kisame, of course, also knew such a simple Ninjutsu as Water Formation Wall.
More than a dozen small fireballs crashed into the Water Formation Wall and were all extinguished, but the shuriken inside passed through the water wall and continued to fly out.
"So that's it, hiding the shuriken in the fire to increase their penetrating power?" Kisame quickly picked up Samehada and swept away the shuriken.
This was probably the correct way to deal with the Uchiha clan's shuriken. If you directly dodge them, a few more might fly back from some other angle, so it's better to deflect them. Of course, if there were steel wire on them, it would be a different story.
"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!" Naruto, who had just finished using Water Formation Wall, had no skill cooldown or after-delay, and casually added a Water Dragon Bullet.
Kisame saw it clearly, so his small eyes were filled with great doubt. How many hand seals were there for Water Dragon Bullet? Is Water Dragon Bullet this big?
Not having time to think so much, Kisame didn't bother using the 44-seal Water Dragon Bullet to clash with Naruto, but instead only formed seven seals: "Water Release: Water Shark Bullet Technique!"
The tomoe in Itachi's eyes swirled again, Hmm, learned this move too.
The two or three-person-sized shark collided with the even larger Water Dragon, barely shattering the dragon's head. The impact was weakened a lot. Kisame swung Samehada and hit the side of the Water Dragon, absorbing the Chakra used to control the Water Dragon. The remaining dragon body turned into ordinary water and fell with a crash.
Samehada let out a few strange cries, seemingly giving Kisame some feedback.
Kisame was probably at level ten in knife language, understanding Samehada's meaning, and muttered to himself, "Oh? You like this guy's Chakra? Endure it for a while."
"Before that, I'll take care of this guy first!" Kisame ran a few steps and swung Samehada at Guy.
Guy dodged sideways, kicking his leg towards Kisame's right ribs.
Kisame retracted Samehada and stood it beside him, the spikes on Samehada suddenly standing up.
Guy stopped his leg in time before kicking the spikes, flipped backward, and pulled away a little distance: "That kind of big knife is very troublesome in close combat."
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!" Taking advantage of the distance between the two, Itachi, standing on Kisame's right side, spat out a large fireball nearly ten meters in diameter.
Kisame swung Samehada, slicing open the fireball. Samehada shook its little tail, emitting a dissatisfied sound. Although there was chakra to absorb from the fireball, it was too hot.
Kisame spoke as if coaxing a child, saying, "Now is not the time to fuss about this. Crap..."
After the fireball dissipated, Kisame met Itachi's gaze, as if seeing a flock of crows crashing into his face.
Fortunately, the barbs on Samehada's tail stood up, piercing Kisame's palm. Kisame woke up from the pain and immediately saw a thin water pillar slicing towards him diagonally.
It was Naruto, seizing the opportunity to release Water Release: Water Severing Wave, wanting to give Kisame a diagonal slash.
The Water Severing Wave ninjutsu was as sharp as a high-pressure water jet. If he had been awake and used Samehada to block, even if it didn't cut Samehada in half, it would have left some marks and shaved off a few of its barbs.
Kisame probably realized the danger of this move and didn't harm Samehada. Instead, he did a modified version of the second set of national elementary school broadcast exercises—Chicks Take Flight—doing the lateral movement without the arm motions.
At the same time, he retracted the chakra under his feet, and his whole body sank a bit underwater, narrowly avoiding the fatal part, but his left shoulder was still cut off a piece of flesh.
Kisame fell backward, sinking into the water, the blood from his shoulder staining the surface red.
"You really can't be careless at all," Kisame said, healing his injury with Samehada's help, moving his shoulders a few times, and thinking about the next strategy.
Samehada stuck out its tongue, indicating that it had provided too much chakra this time and was starving.
The more chakra Samehada absorbed, the bigger and rounder it would grow; conversely, it would shrink. So it was really starving, shrinking to only a little thicker than the Executioner's Blade.
At this moment, Naruto's ten Shadow Clones dived into the water, swimming towards Kisame's direction.
Among them, No. 001, the clever one, conveniently created a Rasengan. Because of the interference of the water flow, No. 001 had to use a lot of effort to maintain it.
However, because the high-speed rotation of the Rasengan created a vortex underwater centered on No. 001, it swept to death the four clones around him, truly sweeping them to death.
Kisame obviously didn't understand this operation, suspecting that this Nine Tails Jinchuriki had some serious illness.
Naruto on the surface also received the memories of the dead clones and was shocked. The Rasengan could be used like this?
The surviving clones immediately dispersed, keeping their distance from their companions, and also created Rasengans.
Thus, six small whirlpools rushed towards Kisame like water tornadoes.
Kisame felt that it was better not to let such strange things get close to him: "Water Release: Five Eating Sharks!"
Five Water Sharks emerged from Kisame's five fingers, opening their mouths to bite at the clones, but as soon as they entered the vortex range, their heads were crushed by the vortex.
However, as long as the Five Eating Sharks had Kisame's chakra supply, they could quickly reorganize. After the clones tried to shatter the sharks with Rasengans, they were quickly torn apart by the reorganized Water Sharks.
Naruto looked at Itachi, wondering if he could copy this Ninjutsu through such deep water.
Itachi knew what Naruto meant, nodded and said, "The chakra is very clear, but the hand seals were not clear. We should be able to restore it by reverse engineering it back."
Cheat!
These eyes are too useful, aren't they? Naruto suddenly felt that what he craved might not be Kisame's Water Release Ninjutsu, but a pair of Sharingan.
