Chapter 279: 279
"I'll try."
Under Kisame's gaze, Kimimaro calmly said and walked out of the crowd.
He is eager to become stronger and will not miss any opportunity to challenge himself.
The battle began immediately.
"Haa!"
In the training ground, Kimimaro's deep and stern shout sounded. He exerted all his strength, except the power of the Nine-Tails, it can be said that he did everything he could, and he was more serious than when he fought against Deidara.
"Is this his real strength?"
Deidara looked at Kimimaro, who was fighting desperately and muttered. If Kimimaro fought like that from the beginning, he would never have any chance to defeat him.
However, even Kimimaro was powerless when he faced Kisame's shadow clone, he was played by the clone all the way.
'Boom!'
Kisame's clone suddenly jumped behind Kimimaro, sent out with a forceful kick, and immediately sending the latter upside down for more than ten meters, and finally hit the barbed wire fence of the training ground.
Victory and defeat has been decided.
"Kimimaro!" Seeing this Haku ran over quickly to help Kimimaro, who was lying on the ground.
Kisame snapped his fingers, retracted his shadow cloy, and then put his hands in his pockets and came to Kimimaro and mocked him:
"I heard that you are the most powerful among these little kids. I didn't expect it to be like this. It's so disappointing."
Hearing that Kimimaro clenched his fists and lowered his head, not saying a word.
Haku really couldn't stand it anymore, so he gathered up his courage and retorted to Kisame: "Just a few days ago, Kimimaro defeated a Jonin from our village! Your shadow clone is at least at the level of an elite jonin, but you want us to defeat it to be promoted to Genin, such a condition is too much, no one can complete it."
"Is that so?"
Kisame said as he glanced at him with disapproval, then turned to look at the other little kids and said, "That's because in my eyes, the Kage rank and below are all ants, and they are not worthy of being called ninjas at all, they can only be called cannon fodder. Now do you understand?"
His words stunned them.
That is to say, if they want to graduate from the masked men and become Genin, each of them must reach the Kage level?
This is simply a fantasy, an impossible thing to accomplish.
However, no matter what these kids thought, Kisame entered the role of a teacher and let the students practice hard.
These kids were all personally selected by Kisame and brought back to Kirigakure. He knew better than anyone the potential contained in their bodies.
Therefore, the principle of Kisame's teaching these students is that as long as they don't die, they can train till they die. nove(l)bi(n.)com
The first is high-intensity devil training.
So, the whole morning and most of the afternoon, the voices of the kids crying and calling for their mothers resounded throughout the training ground.
These flowers in the greenhouses, once meticulously cared for and treated, did not suffer any real pain. But now Kisame made them feel for the first time what it means to be savage.
In the evening, even the strongest among them, Kimimaro fell to the ground with a bang, thereby ending the training.
Each of them was out of breath, their clothes were all wet with sweat, and all of them were injured, and no one was able to stand up.
"This is unbearable? This is the first day of training. I have already shown mercy, and only gave you half the intensity."
Kisame folded his arms and looked down at the kids who were paralyzed on the ground, feeling very disappointed with them.
In the face of his ridicule, no matter how much dissatisfaction and grievance they had in their hearts, they didn't have the strength to refute at this time.
At this moment, a very familiar voice suddenly came from outside the training ground.
"You bastard, what are you doing? These children are not your slaves. Do you want to torture them to death by exhausting them?"
Tsunade angrily broke into the training ground and walked towards Kisame, her chest was shaking with anger.
"Tsunade-sama is here!"
Tsunade's appearance made the despairing eyes of the kids finally glow, as if they had seen a great savior.
"It's you who appointed me as their instructor, have you forgotten so quickly? As their instructor, of course I have to train them with all my heart, so that I won't betray Tsunade-sama's trust, right?"
Facing Tsunade, who has an angry look on her face, Kisame calmly defended himself.
"You were appointed by Kisame, not me!"
Tsunade walked up to Kisame, grabbed his collar and shouted in a low voice.
"Anyway, you're here just in time. Hurry up and treat them. They are indeed much more spoiled than I thought."
Kisame shrugged and changed the subject.
"I'll settle the account with you later."
Tsunade glared at Kisame, then turned around and frowned at the children who fell to the ground.
"Betting, I will bet, who is afraid of you."
Tsunade agreed without thinking, and asked, "What is the bet?"
"It's very simple. After three months, you will choose your two best disciples to fight against mine in turn, the result would be based on their strength." Kisame said.
"Then what if we each win a game, wouldn't it be a draw?"
Tsunade frowned and said, she who is very competitive, can't accept a draw, especially a draw with Kisame.
Therefore, after thinking for a while, she made a suggestion to Kisame:
"How about two wins in three rounds? You can choose one of my disciples at will, so that if you lose, you will not have an excuse to say that all the good ones are on my side."
The number of students Tsunade and Kisame have are currently 8:2. She doesn't want to take advantage of this, and there are so many students that she may not be able to teach them with her energy alone.
"Ok."
Kisame readily agreed, and his eyes swept over the group.
"Hey, you won't choose me, right?"
Deidara's heart froze, after all, he is the strongest one here, and the masked man is likely to pick him out in order to win the bet against Tsunade.
However Kisame smiled and said:
"There are three people in a ninja team. I already have two boys here, so I will take another girl. It would be a standard team."
As soon as these words came out, it was Temari's turn to be shocked, and she immediately became nervous.
Apart from Hinata, there are only two girls, her and Karin. No matter how she looks at it, the masked man has the highest probability of picking her.
However Kisame pointed at Karin and said, "I want Uzumaki Karin, she will fulfill the role of a medical ninja in the team."
'Thank Kami.'
Temari breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that, and then, together with the others, cast a sympathetic look at Karin.
'How come?'
Karin seemed to have gone from heaven to hell, and she didn't come back to her senses immediately.
"Hee, you really know how to choose, you actually chose the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki. Are you thinking to using the power of the tailed beasts to defeat me?"
Tsunade snorted coldly.
Nine-Tails and Eight-Tails are the most powerful of all tailed beasts, and their chakra far exceeds other tailed beasts. And now, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki Kimimaro and the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki Karin are both on Kisame's side.
"Why, do you regret it?" Kisame asked rhetorically.
"Who regretted?"
Tsunade folded her arms around her chest, and ordered Karin, "Go."
So, Karin could only say goodbye to Hinata reluctantly with a bitter face, then lowered her head and silently walked to Kisame.
"Don't worry, for the sake of the fairness of the game, I will not let my students use the power of the tailed beasts, lest you make excuses and deny the fight."
Kisame added.
"Then what's the bet?" Tsunade asked again, and her interest was completely hooked by Kisame.
"You make an offer." Kisame gave her the choice.
"Okay! My request is very simple. If my students win, you must leave her and end this deformed relationship completely."
Tsunade stared at Kisame with bright eyes, and made her condition.
The "she" in her mouth, although she didn't say it clearly, obviously refers to Katsuyu.
"Okay! But if I win, from now on, you can no longer restrain my relationship with her."
Kisame responded hotly.
Tsunade shuddered when she heard that. She knew what Kisame's words meant, but she gritted her teeth and agreed.
Because she didn't believe she would lose and this will be the chance to change everything.
"???"
The conversation between the two left them with question marks on their faces, not knowing what they were talking about.
However, both Tsunade and Kisame seemed to be very serious, they even released a strong murderous aura. The kids can feel this.
"Follow me!"
Tsunade ordered as she strode away. Temari and the others quickly followed behind her and left the training ground.
Kisame watched Tsunade go away, then he withdrew his gaze and said to Kimimaro, Haku, and Karin:
"Congratulations, from now on, the three of you are my main students. Don't worry, your teacher will definitely make you a real powerhouse."
