Outside the banquet hall.

"Let me in!" Shizune shouted sharply, ready to attack Pakura and save her teacher.

"Take a step forward if you want to die."

Pakura said coldly as she snapped her fingers, and several scorching fireballs appeared silently, floating around Shizune's body, surrounding the latter.

Shizune felt the hot energy from the fireball, and couldn't help but hesitate. Although she was in a hurry, she also realized that if she was forced to act, it would be no different from sending herself to death.

In the hall.

Kisame's hands that were like a pair of big iron pincers tightly clamped Tsunade's wrists. His huge body was like a mountain, making it difficult for Tsunade to breathe and made her stay still.

"What do you want to do?"

After experiencing the initial panic, she calmed down and asked.

"That's a good question."

Kisame showed a standard villain smile and said to her unabashedly, "I can do anything to you, because you are too weak. The weak are the playthings of the strong. This is the law of the jungle."

When he spoke, he looked at Tsunade's beautiful and delicate face recklessly, as if he had seen delicious prey.

"You…"

Tsunade clenched her teeth, feeling an unprecedented humiliation, and there were faint tears in her eyes. She has been bullied by Kisame far too many times, and that sense of powerlessness and humiliation has accumulated to this day, making her, who has always been strong, on the verge of emotional breakdown.

She turned her head, not wanting to take another look at Kisame, as if she had accepted her fate.

"Yo, are you going to cry? Tsunade, are you feeling hopeless and helpless now?"

Kisame said as he squeezed Tsunade's chin with his fingers, forcibly pulled her face back, and met her eyes with his.

At this distance, their faces were close, and each other's breath blew onto each other's faces.

"Tsunade, haven't you always wanted to beat me, but unfortunately you don't have that strength. I'm never afraid of making too many enemies, but I'm afraid that the enemy isn't strong enough for me to fight. So, if you don't want to become my plaything, try to make yourself as strong as Senju Hashirama, and then come back to me. Then you will know if I can be compared with your grandfather."

Kisame stared at Tsunade, as he stood up and did not continue to bully her.

At this time.

"Kisame-sama, what happened?"

Yukino walked in from the side door with a look of surprise on her face. Although she was also on the list of people attending the dinner, she is worried about Haku and Kimimaro, so she stayed at home to take care of the two little guys, and only now did she come out.

She walked over with small steps and carefully lifted Tsunade who was lying on the table.

"Tsunade-sama, it's been a long time. Did you... fight with Kisame-sama?" Yukino asked in a low voice, casting a glance at Kisame.

"I was just chatting with Tsunade."

Kisame said with a smile, walked over and put his arms around Yukino's shoulders, then said to Tsunade calmly, "In a week's time, I will wake up the sealed Katsuyu clone. No matter what method I use, I will get the Shikkotsu Forest's senjutsu, whether you help or not."

When Tsunade heard him, she looked at him without saying a word.

"Okay, it's getting late, I have to go home and hand in my homework to Yukino."

Kisame said as he glanced at the night sky, it was almost late at night.

Hand in homework?

Tsunade was stunned when she heard these words, not understanding the meaning behind it. She didn't understand what it meant until she saw Yukino's face redden and shyly snuggling into Kisame's chest.

"Hahaha."

Kisame laughed loudly, then hugged Yukino's slender waist and walked out of the main door.

Tsunade stared gloomily at their backs, then slowly retracted her gaze and looked at the Hashirama cells plant on the table.

Her eyes flashed as she grabbed the plant, her inner desire for strength had never been stronger than now.

Tsunade took a deep breath, adjusted her mood, and walked out of the banquet hall.

"Tsunade-sama, are you alright?"

When Shizune saw that Tsunade's clothes were a little messy, and there were tears in the corners of her eyes, she quickly greeted her with a worried look.

Tsunade looked at Pakura beside Shizune, and suddenly asked, "Where is the hospital in Kirigakure, I want to borrow the operating room here."

Pakura obviously got Kisame's order in advance, so she was ready for this question: "Please come with me."

Under her guidance, they quickly came to the hospital and entered a heavily guarded and fully functional operating room.

"This operating room is specially prepared for you by Mizukage-sama. I will stand outside, please let me know if you need anything."

After saying that Pakura walked out and stood guard outside the door.

In the operating room.

"Tsunade-sama, is this the cell plant of the first Hokage, do you plan to... transplant it to yourself?"

When Shizune heard about Tsunade's thoughts, she couldn't help asking.

"In order to defeat Hoshigaki Kisame, I must gain my grandfather's power."

Tsunade looked firm, and slowly took off the clothes on her right shoulder, revealing a smooth and white shoulder. She is going to perform the transplant operation immediately with Shizune's assistance.

In the process of transplanting the Hashirama cells, ordinary people will have a strong rejection reaction, and eventually they will be converted into trees because they cannot bear the huge force.

Unusual people, like Kisame, rely on their own physique to forcibly suppress the power of the Hashirama cells, then assimilate and absorb it.

And Tsunade is different from them.

As Kisame said, Tsunade is the only remaining Senju clan in the world, and she is also the granddaughter of Hashirama Senju. She has the purest Senju blood flowing through her body.

When Tsunade took the plant from the test tube and held it in her hand, she could feel a familiar chakra that resonated strongly with the blood in her body.

Tsunade is the only person who can perfectly transplant Hashirama cells, and obtain the true power of Mokuton.

"Let's start."

She said as she laid down on the operating table.

Surgery began.

…

At midnight.

Kirigakure, which had been lively all night, gradually became quiet at this time. The lights went out, and the villagers went into deep sleep.

Kisame put on his clothes and got out of bed lightly.

He glanced back, Yukino resting on the bed with heavy blush, sleeping happily and contentedly, obviously feeling exhausted.

Kisame closed the door gently, came to the yard, and glanced at the dark night sky. Then, he unfolded the black wings behind him and flew into the sky.

After a while, Kisame came to an open space behind Kirigakure.

Kisame had already made up his mind to go to the Shikkotsu Forest, and he would definitely face the Slug Sage at that time.

As far as Kisame knows, its name is Katsuyu, and it is an incomparably huge slug. Unlike Mount Myoboku and Ryuchi Cave, there are no other slugs in the Shikkotsu Forest, only countless clones of Katsuyu.

There is no doubt that Katsuyu is on the same level as the Gamamaru. In front of it, he must be cautious and be fully prepared.

Just having Katsuyu's clone as a "hostage" is obviously not enough for him to be safe and get what he wants.

Therefore, he decided to further enhance his own strength.

Thinking of this, Kisame took out the Gunbai and Kusanagi sword from the Box of Ultimate Bliss.

These two ninja tools, one is made from the trunk of the Shinju tree, and is a treasure of the Uchiha clan that has been passed down for thousands of years, and the other is a legendary artifact, the hardest and sharpest weapon in the ninja world.

It can be said that the Gunbai and Kusanagi sword are second only to the Six Paths level ninja weapons.

If Kisame can absorb their abilities and use them flexibly, he will undoubtedly be more powerful than now. At that time, even if he is to face Katsuyu, he will have enough confidence.

After an hour.

With the help of the Panda, Kisame successfully devoured the two ninja tools and mastered their abilities.

Among them, after being absorbed by Kisame, the Kusanagi sword became his spine, supporting his burly and strong body.

This sword gave him an ability similar to Kaguya clan's Kekkei Genkai.

Kisame stretched his hand to the back of his neck, lifted it up, and pulled out his entire spine to use it as a weapon.

This bone sword is even harder than the bones of the Kaguya clan, it can be said to be indestructible, and it also inherits the two major characteristics of Kusanagi sword—

It can fly in the air and can change its size.

"Go!"

Kisame shouted softly, and the bone sword flew out like lightning, and under his control, it traversed the woods. Wherever it passed, the sword light flickered, and the sturdy trees were cut open like tofu and fell down one after another.

Then, the bone sword returned to his hands. As his mind moved, the sword immediately extended forward, and soon turned into a 40 meter long sword.

Holding this 40-meter long sword, it is enough to swept thousands of troops on the battlefield, killing a large number of enemy troops like cutting vegetables.

Finally, the bone sword shortened back to its original shape, merged into the arm along the palm, and finally returned to his back, becoming a spine.

As for the Gunbai

Kisame's right hand quickly became larger, reaching a diameter of more than one meter, covered with a thick layer of bark, and became a form that resembled a fan.

He raised his hand and slammed it forward, and a violent gust of wind suddenly blew across the open space, lifting sand and rocks.

This huge palm also inherited the most powerful ability of the Gunbai - it can rebound ninjutsu. With its protection, Kisame is basically immune to most ninjutsu attacks.

In addition, since the essence of the flame fan is the tree trunk of the Shinju tree, Kisame found that when he used this giant hand to use Mokuton, it would have a very amazing bonus effect.

Kisame repeatedly practiced all night, and after getting familiar with the new abilities, he returned to the village after the sunrise.

As soon as he landed in the yard, Pakura, who had been waiting for a long time, walked up and reported Tsunade's situation to him.

Last night, as Kisame expected, Tsunade successfully completed the transplantation, but there was an accident after the end.

Tsunade fell into a coma.

Tsunade had been silently brought back to the room and still in a deep sleep.

'Oh?'

Hearing this, Kisame walked over and knocked on the door, and without waiting for a response, he pushed the door and entered.

"Kisame, what did you do to Tsunade-sama, why did she become like this?"

When Shizune saw Kisame, she mustered up all her courage, and asked angrily.

"Step aside."

Kisame pushed her away and came to Tsunade's bed, his eyes swept across her. He soon discovered that although she fell into a coma, her face was not pale, but ruddy.

He frowned, stretched out his hand and took off the clothes on Tsunade's right shoulder, and sure enough, there was Hashirama's face on it. However, the shape of the human face was fading, and it seemed that it was about to completely merge into Tsunade's body.

'Hee.'

Kisame let out a sigh, showed a smile, and then stood up.

"Don't worry, this is a good thing. If I am guessing correctly, after Tsunade absorbed the Hashirama cells, the blood in her body strengthened, and it became closer to Hashirama Senju. When she wakes up, her body will have an incredible change, and I'm really looking forward to it."

He said as he patted Shizune on the shoulder, and signaled that she didn't need to worry about Tsunade.

Then, Kisame instructed Pakura, "Just stay here. If there is any new situation, please notify me as soon as possible. I will be in the study for the next few days."

"Yes, Mizukage-sama."

Shizune watched Kisame go away, and her heart was full of contradictions and doubts.

This guy seems to be a big bad guy who does all kinds of evil, but in fact, when she thought about it seriously, he didn't do anything too much to Tsunade-sama.

On the contrary, he helped Tsunade treat hemophobia. He also exposed the truth that Konoha executives were experimenting with Hashirama cells, which made Tsunade see the hypocrisy of those people. He even gave the precious Hashirama cells to Tsunade.

Thinking of this, Shizune's views on Kisame quietly changed a little.

Kisame returned to his study.

According to his estimates, it will take at least several days for Tsunade to wake up from the coma.

During this time, he can sort out the ninjutsu he obtained from the Konoha Forbidden Jutsu library.

Among these ninjutsus, the most useful ones him are undoubtedly the water release ninjutsu of the second Hokage Senju Tobirama, and the multi-shadow clone jutsu, a forbidden jutsu that requires extremely high chakra levels.
