Chapter 137: 137
Other techniques, such as Impure reincarnation, spirit transformation, and flying thunder god, are too difficult to learn. Kisame's brain power is not enough, so he can only give up after reading it several times.
In addition, there is also the Reaper of death seal, but the forbidden jutsu that is exchanged his life with the enemy is not something that he likes.
However, after flipping through all the ninjutsu scrolls, his eyes lit up when he found a jutsu that interest him very much.
Eight branches jutsu.
This jutsu is Orochimaru's most powerful ninjutsu, which turned him into a huge white snake with eight heads and eight tails.
In the anime, Orochimaru only selected the Impure reincarnation jutsu and the Eight branches jutsu, which is enough to show how valuable this jutsu is.
The reason why Kisame cares so much about this jutsu is because he noticed that Yamato no Orochi is the incarnation of the long-lasting obsession in Orochimaru's heart.
Orochimaru's obsession is eternal life, for which he is willing to abandon the human body and evolve into a more advanced creature.
Kisame thinks similar to him.
The difference is that in Orochimaru's heart, the white snake is a symbol of immortality, so he injected his obsession into the Eight branches jutsu and turned himself into a huge white snake.
Kisame feels that can he learn from the principle of this jutsu, and let his obsession and chakra fuse, so that he can incarnate into an existence similar to the eight-headed snake.
This idea excited Kisame.
The Yamato no Orochi is just the appearance of the Eight branches jutsu, and the principle behind this technique is what attracts him the most.
Humans are weak creatures, especially their vitality is very fragile.
Even more so with the group of ninjas vying for their life.
No matter how powerful a ninja is, even if he has the ability to destroy the world, as long as his throat is cut by a small kunai, he will still die.
Even if he is as strong as Six Paths Madara, he wasn't able to resist a simple backstab to the heart, and he is easily killed by Black Zetsu.
So, there are some ninjas who are aware of this problem and bravely embark on an "inhuman" path.
For example, Sasori of the red sand in Sunagakure gave up his fragile body, leaving only a heart, and replaced his body with a mechanical puppet, and then became immortal.
For example, Kakuzu, who uses the Kinjutsu Earth Grudge, steals the hearts of others to turn himself into a suture monster, and obtain an eternal life;
There are also people like Hidan that go sideways and gain power by believing in the evil god, so that they cannot be killed.
Now, Kisame has also embarked on this road.
But for him, whether it is to put himself in a tin can, or to steal the hearts of others, or to rely on the power of the evil God, is not something that he likes.
None of these means is "free" enough.
In contrast, Orochimaru's idea is similar to Kisame's.
Thinking of this, Kisame took out a pen and a blank piece of paper, and began to conceive his idea: If he stopped being a human, and borrowed the principles of the Eight branches jutsu to evolve into a new creature, what would be the ideal form be?
The creature most familiar to him, apart from humans, is undoubtedly a shark. He himself has gills and shark tails. It is safest to continue to evolve in this direction.
Since Orochimaru can turn into a snake, Kisame can turn into a giant shark with a body length of 100 meters or even thousands of meters, galloping freely in the vast sea.
In addition, if Kisame wants to choose a radical evolutionary route, he can turn himself into a big meat ball, covered with hundreds or thousands of tentacles, each tentacle is used to display different abilities.
In his mind, this is the ultimate form of a perfect creature.
'Rustle.'
The pen in his hand moved across the paper, and quickly drew the sketches of a big shark and a tentacle monster.
No matter which route he chooses in the end, as long as he successfully completes his evolution, he will be able to find his own way.
In the following few days.
Kisame spent all day in the study room, concentrating on studying the Eight branches jutsu, and have a preliminary understanding of this art. But to really get started, it will take around ten years.
So Kisame is not in a hurry, and occasionally relaxes by playing some games with Yukino.
A week passed by quietly.
Automatic rejuvenation.
Tsunade had only seen such a scene on her grandfather Hashirama Senju.
In fact, according to Tsunade's knowledge, in the thousand-year history of the Senju clan, among the large number of geniuses born, there are very few people with such a monstrous physique.
She had heard from her grandfather when she was young that the reason why he was so powerful was because his bloodline is thick and gained the power of his ancestors.
'Has this happened to me now?'
Just when Tsunade fell into deep thought, Kisame and Pakura arrvied to the open space.
'Clap clap.'
While applauding, Kisame said to Tsunade: "Congratulations, it seems that everything is going well."
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly kicked the ground, and rushed towards Tsunade like a cannonball.
'Um?'
Tsunade's eyes widened, and she immediately stomped on the ground, punching out without hesitation, setting off a powerful airflow that seemed unstoppable.
'Boom!'
Their fists collided fiercely, making a dull sound.
In an instant, with the two at the center, a shockwave spread outwards, forming a strong wind, that sent Pakura and Shizune a dozen steps back.
The ground under their feet could not bear their strength. It was filled with lot of cracks.
In the first round, the two were evenly matched.
'Whoosh.'
Tsunade and Kisame jumped back at the same time, and started to form seals at the same time, and even the order of connecting seals was the same, and finally pressed to the ground together.
Mokuton: Deep Forest emergence.
The two performed this jutsu in unison.
'Rumble.'
Under the nourishment of their chakras, the trees that were sleeping deep in the ground broke out one after another and grew rapidly, and soon formed a lush forest.
The trees in this forest were controlled by the Kisame and Tsunade respectively, so they quickly got entangled together, showing their teeth and claws like a group of demons dancing wildly.
'Shhhhhh.'
Under their control, a large number of trees attacked each other, broke one after another, and grew back in an instant, falling into an increasingly fierce entanglement.
This is a battle between two Mokuton ninjas.
"Haaa!"
Tsunade didn't want to lose, so she shouted again and injected more chakra into the ground. The trees she controlled suddenly grew wildly, and successfully suppressed Kisame's Mokuton.
After a while, Tsunade gained complete control over the woods.
"Humph."
She snorted lightly and sneered when she saw Kisame surrounded by trees.
Tsunade intends to do what Kisame did to her.
Kisame had tied her up with vines when he captured her, but now she is going to tie Kisame and hang him up here for a day and a night to vent her hatred.
Unfortunately, Tsunade's plan is doomed to fail.
Facing the trees rushing frantically from all directions, Kisame unhurriedly stretched out his hands to his back and pulled out his spine.
With a thought, the bone sword in his hand stretched forward with a swoosh, and instantly grew by more than forty meters.
Tsunade was taken aback and dodged the sword by moving to the side.
