Chapter 114: Borrowing the Power of the Nine-Tails! Naruto VS Kisame!

It has to be said that Hoshigaki Kisame is truly the first well-known ninja to actively join the Whitebeard Pirates.

His fame in the ninja world is not small.

One of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Kirigakure Village, the owner of the Great Sword - Samehada, an elite Jonin of the Kirigakure Village, a Tailed Beast without a tail...

One label after another is attached to him.

It is destined that Kisame is different from other ninjas.

"You want to join the Whitebeard Pirates?" Hearing Hoshigaki Kisame's words, Kakashi was stunned: "As one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, you want to betray the Kirigakure Village?"

Kakashi didn't understand Kisame's actions.

Logically speaking,

The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Kirigakure Village should have a very high status in the Kirigakure Village, right? Is he not satisfied with having a position under the Mizukage?

Nowadays, after the Fourth Mizukage Yagura was killed, the position of the Mizukage is also vacant.

The Seven Ninja Swordsmen should be the most powerful competitors for the Mizukage!

Anyone with a bit of ambition would want to compete for the position of Mizukage.

Instead of betraying the Kirigakure Village at this critical juncture.

Even if it's normal to betray the Kirigakure Village, at least choose a good organization to join, right?

Such as the Sunagakure Village? Konohagakure Village?

Iwagakure Village? Kumogakure Village?

Is the Whitebeard Pirates a good organization? In Kakashi's eyes, instead of calling this an organization, it's better to call it a family. And the entire Whitebeard Pirates are just a few people, just taking the name of "pirate group".

In fact, just a few people call themselves a pirate group, it's too hasty, at least there should be a dozen people, right?

Hoshigaki Kisame, want to join such a hasty pirate group?

Is it really the charm of Whitebeard that has conquered him?

Kakashi was doubtful.

"Hey, don't say it so harshly, Kakashi!" Hoshigaki Kisame pointed at his forehead protector: "Open your Sharingan and see clearly, I didn't draw a bar on it. I betrayed the already dead Fourth Mizukage, not The Kirigakure Village that is waiting to be revived, do you understand?"

"Also.....I didn't come to the Land of Fire specifically to chat with you, Kakashi. Can you shut up immediately? Otherwise, I will not be able to help but kill you." Kisame once again ignored Kakashi, polite, but not much.

He looked at Whitebeard, grinned, showing a mouthful of sharp teeth.

"How about it? Whitebeard? Can I join your Whitebeard Pirates? You know, I'm very popular."

Kisame began to speak: "Many organizations have invited me, including one called Akatsuki. The other party asked me to consider it, but I think the Whitebeard Pirates are better."

Whitebeard looked at Hoshigaki Kisame with hollow eyes. This ninja kid with a very special appearance reminded Whitebeard of some memories. He asked this question: "You, are you from the Fishman tribe?"

"Fishman tribe?" Kisame was taken aback.

He didn't care to reply: "I don't know about this. Anyway... it was my parents who made me look like this. They also look like this. Maybe this is a kind of inheritance!"

"Gurarararara! That's the Fishman tribe in the ninja world." Whitebeard was interested: "Shark-faced kid, what is your intention to join the Whitebeard Pirates?"

Kisame actually thought seriously.

He thought for a full minute before he gave an answer: "There are two reasons. First, your charisma is indeed the most special I have ever seen. I don't like to lie, and I'm not good at lying, this is my heartfelt words."

"Second....." As he said this, the smile on Kisame's face became stronger, and even carried a bit of fighting spirit: "Of course it's a man like you that makes people itch in their hearts!"

"If I join the Whitebeard Pirates, I can definitely challenge you every day, right? I really want to fight a man like you!"

Kisame began to get excited: "Every time I think about fighting one-on-one with you, I get so excited at night that I can't sleep."

The Samehada he carried on his back was also trembling slightly.

It seemed to be excited with its master.

"Shark-faced kid, you are quite honest!" Whitebeard suddenly put away his smile: "But your purpose of joining the Whitebeard Pirates doesn't align with my original intention to establish the Whitebeard Pirates. Therefore, your request, the Whitebeard Pirates refuse!"

"Huh?" Kisame was taken aback: "Refuse?"

He didn't expect that a man like himself, who took the initiative to lower his head and wanted to join an organization, would be rejected.

"Unless....."

Whitebeard's tone changed, and the smile that had been put away was revealed again, saying: "If you truly consider yourself as my son and sincerely call me 'Pops' I'll let you join the Whitebeard Pirates, become a part of this big family."

Kisame was taken aback again.

What's all this about?

Call him "Pops" to join the Whitebeard Pirates?

"Why is this?"

Kisame didn't understand, so he asked directly: "You... is this a kind of tactful refusal?"

"Shark-faced kid, do you have some misunderstandings about the Whitebeard Pirates?" Whitebeard, holding his Murakumogiri, laughed out loud: "Gurararararara! The Whitebeard Pirates are nothing more than a family disguised as a pirate crew!"

He looked seriously at Kisame: "The moment you join the Whitebeard Pirates, you can't treat it as a pirate crew. You have to treat it as a family, and everyone in the pirate crew is your family, comparable to your blood relatives."

The deafening words left Kisame standing on the spot.

He could hear Whitebeard's unprecedented seriousness.

In other words, what Whitebeard said was not a refusal, but the core of the Whitebeard Pirates.

Kisame looked at Naruto, Haku, Karin, and Uzumaki Fuushi.

Are these people all Whitebeard's "family"?

From a professional cognitive perspective, recognizing so many "family members" will bring a lot of weaknesses to oneself out of thin air.

Once someone captures your family.

You will fall into a passive state.

And Whitebeard is letting himself have so many "weaknesses", having a group of family members.

Just for the sake of having affection.

"Ha!" Kisame suddenly showed a smile that was even more than Whitebeard's: "But... it's because of this that makes me feel that you are worth my following! If you weren't such a person, I wouldn't come!"

"Family..." From the day Kisame just turned five years old, his parents had already died at the hands of enemy village ninjas. The rest of the time, he grew up in the orphanage of the Kirigakure Village.

Then he was recruited into the ninja school of the Kirigakure Village and graduated from the ninja school with the first place in the same period.

Then, he began to become the sharpest knife in the Kirigakure.

But this knife of his is not entirely outward.

But... it's "inward"!

Kisame has killed many companions... His mission is to prevent companions from falling into the hands of the enemy and becoming captives of the enemy village. He will not hesitate to kill his companions.

Kisame doesn't have a deep impression of those companions, because there are too many companions killed by him.

But there is one person he still remembers.

That was a Chunin from the Kirigakure Village, a very beautiful female ninja. For Kisame, a very honest old straight man, to say the words "very beautiful", her looks are indeed not low.

Kisame clearly remembered that she was the only companion who did not show hatred towards him after he killed her.

Before she died, she just showed a gentle smile and said to him, "Your life... must be very hard, right?"

Kisame suddenly realized that he was not confused just a while ago, he seemed to have been confused since that day.

For the mission of the village.

Kisame gave up sincere friendship, vague love, and did things that ordinary people could not do.

But in the end, he found out.

He couldn't find out what his position was.

Maybe... I need to find a new place to start from scratch in order to truly find myself.

With this thought in mind, 

He has decided

"What I say is what it is, this is my ninja way." Kisame said seriously: "Whitebeard! Let's have a fight first! If I lose and die, then that's what my fate is like, I won't be unwilling. If I lose and don't die, then I'll call you 'Pops'."

"I am not the kind of person who is inconsistent inside and out. I won't say the word 'Pops' and then not treat you as family." Kisame made a confrontation seal and laughed: "Just nearby there is a big sea, this place, barely counts as my home field.

"Fighting with a man like you, I'm a bit both excited and nervous. So... let me take a little environmental advantage, it shouldn't be too much, right? Whitebeard?"

"Gurararara!"

Whitebeard laughed out loud: "Interesting! Shark-faced kid! You remind me of two sons, one called Jinbei, the other called Namur, your character is somewhat similar to theirs."

Whitebeard held his Murakumogiri with one hand and executed a sword technique, just a single slash, causing a gust of wild wind to sweep through the area.

The sea behind him was blown up by the strong wind and saw waves.

The wooden planks under the dock were creaking.

The straight power lines on the nearby electric poles were also slightly shaking.

The lights at the dock were flickering.

"Stupid sons, stand back!" Whitebeard laughed, "Gurarararara! This shark-faced kid is not simple!"

"No!" Naruto rarely contradicted Whitebeard.

This caught Whitebeard's attention.

Naruto said seriously, "Pops, I am the captain of the first division of the Whitebeard Pirates! If I let you handle all the fights, wouldn't we become decorations?"

"You are the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates and the highest combat power of the Whitebeard Pirates. You should only take action when we can't solve it."

As he said this, Naruto's momentum weakened.

After all, this was the first time he refute Whitebeard.

Naruto weakly said, "Pops, there should be no problem with my thoughts, right?"

Unexpectedly, the six-year-old Naruto could say these words.

It seems that leaving Konohagakure Village these days...

Indeed made him grow a lot.

"Gurararararara! You are really my son!" Whitebeard not only didn't get angry, but laughed more heartily, and the hearty laughter echoed through the sky, "Then I'll let my stupid son, the captain of the first division of the Whitebeard Pirates, take the action!"

Whitebeard looked at Kisame, "Shark-faced kid, you shouldn't have any objections, right? Don't underestimate my stupid son!"

"I've no objections." Kisame looked at Naruto, Naruto's firm and serious little face made Kisame interested in Naruto.

"Interesting kid, the captain of the first division?"

Kisame did not take off the big sword, Samehada.

Instead, he pulled out a Kunai, "Kid, I respect you, fighting you like this is no different from challenging Whitebeard. In this respect, you and I are very similar."

"But, you are still a kid after all." Kisame said straightforwardly, "I don't have a smaller knife than this. Don't worry, although I have killed many people, I still have a sense of measure when I do it."

Kisame's face with a grinning smile is enough to scare many children to tears, "I will try not to kill you."

Naruto also took out a Kunai.

"Don't underestimate me!"

"Shark-faced uncle!"

Naruto suddenly took the initiative, and the small body burst out with a speed that even Kisame was a bit surprised. In just a blink of an eye, Naruto had already appeared in front of Kisame.

The sharp Kunai went towards Kisame's third leg.

This made Kisame jump.

Clang——!!!

Kisame quickly blocked Naruto's Kunai with the Kunai in his hand. The two Kunai collided violently and splashed a group of eye-catching sparks. Kisame was surprised to find that his palm was a bit numb.

"Great strength!" It's hard to imagine that a kid of this age has such great strength.

Kisame took it a little bit seriously.

The Kunai in his hand was raised, trying to stab Naruto's face.

However, just as Kisame raised his arm a little bit.

Naruto leaned back in advance to avoid it.

"Huh?" Kisame was stunned, "My attack, was it predicted by this kid?"

"Interesting....."

In just half a minute, the Kunai in the hands of the two had collided fiercely more than a dozen times, and even the edges of the Kunai had clear notches.

The sound of "ding ding dang clang" metal collision is like the sound of ironing, until the two Kunai broke at the same time.

Naruto quickly retreated a few steps.

The two were five or six meters apart.

"Kid, what is this Ninjutsu?" In this half-minute battle, Kisame gradually understood that Naruto had predicted his attack every time.

"This is not Ninjutsu, this is Observation Haki!" Naruto replied seriously, "Your attacks are all seen through by me!"

"Not Ninjutsu? Observation Haki?"

Kisame frowned.

Is it Kekkei Genkai?

"Whatever it is. Kid, you've lost your weapon, it seems... you've already lost." Kisame calmly took out a brand new Kunai, this time he took the initiative to attack, covering the distance of five to six meters in the blink of an eye.

However, just as Kisame was about to swing his arm.

He noticed that Naruto was quickly forming seals.

"'Dragon' seal ending?" Kisame immediately reacted: "This is, Wind Release Ninjutsu?!"

"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!!!"

A surge of incredibly fierce wind blew out from Naruto's mouth, the wooden planks of the dock under his feet were shaking violently, and the wires on the nearby telephone poles were directly blown off by the strong wind.

Kisame, who was hit head-on by the "Wind Release, Great Breakthrough".

Was blown away in one face-to-face encounter.

Landing more than twenty meters away.

"Has Naruto's Wind Release become so powerful?" Kakashi, who was nervously watching the battle on the side, ready to save Naruto without hesitation as soon as Kisame showed a hint of killing intent, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "Isn't this chakra on par with that of a Chunin, right??"

"I see." Kakashi suddenly reacted: "The Uzumaki clan's chakra amount is naturally much more than other people. And although 'Wind Release, Great Breakthrough' is a very basic Ninjutsu, it is also very special. The more chakra, the greater the power.

Kakashi was a bit dazed, how long has it been? Naruto already has the power to fight a ninja?

Although he knew that the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Kirigakure were not using his full power.

The other party will fight Naruto, probably just to give Whitebeard face, plus it is considered a warm-up before fighting Whitebeard.

But even so, Naruto is still amazing.

After all, the other party is an elite Jonin of the Kirigakure!

And one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen!

At this time... standing next to Kakashi, Uchiha Shisui, with only one eye left, spoke with some emotion: "I see Itachi's shadow in Naruto."

"Itachi? Uchiha Itachi?" Kakashi turned his head to look at Shisui.

"Yes!" Shisui said: "Itachi was also so powerful and so talented at this age."

Shisui couldn't help but smile when he mentioned Itachi

"Itachi, he is the future of the Uchiha clan."

Shisui said: "Naruto, on the other hand, is the future of Konohagakure."

"..."

On the other side

Kisame landed steadily on the ground, showing no signs of embarrassment. He slowly straightened up, the grim smile on his face still maintained: "Such an astonishing amount of chakra! A Wind Release Ninjutsu of such a low level can actually blow me so far away."

"No wonder you can become a son of Whitebeard. Kid, you are the most powerful kid I have ever seen at this age. I acknowledge your abilities; you are deemed worthy of my utilization of Ninjutsu."

Kisame directly threw the Kunai in his hand at Naruto.

While Naruto was hurriedly dodging the Kunai.

Kisame had already formed the seal, and even kindly reminded: "Kid, try to survive, I don't have a Water Release Ninjutsu with smaller power than this one."

"Water Release: Water Shark Bullet Jutsu!!!"

Splash...

A huge stream of water in the shape of a shark rushed towards Naruto. This Ninjutsu can not only be directly released as an attack Ninjutsu, but also can wrap oneself in it for the purpose of flying and gliding.

This time Kisame simply used it as an attack Ninjutsu. In Naruto's line of sight, a super-large shark that is more than ten times larger than his entire body gives him a strong sense of oppression.

'Big fox! Lend me some chakra!!!'

"Tsk... I won't lend it!"

'Big fox, you don't want to learn Observation Haki either, do you?'

"Damn stinky kid!"

The chakra belonging to the Nine-Tails began to flow into Naruto's meridians. The Nine-Tails only lent Naruto a "little bit" of chakra, but it was already hundreds of times the amount of Naruto's own chakra.

If Naruto, who is only six years old, has a chakra amount in his body, it is just a very small pond.

Then Naruto's chakra amount now is a big lake!

A huge amount of chakra poured into his body.

Making Naruto's little face a bit flushed, and on his body surface, more chakra from the Nine-Tails emerged.

The chakra is already visible to the naked eye.

When the "Water Shark Bullet Technique" was less than two meters away from Naruto...

"Wind Release..."

"Super, invincible, Uzumaki Naruto style, limited edition, Great Breakthrough!!!"

In an instant, the entire dock was howling with gales.

The rolling wind waves are like invisible blades.

Sweeping forward!

Destroying everything in its path!
