Now Kirigakure is the first village to usher a fourth Kage among the major villages.

Mangetsu specially reported to Kisame that his two teammates, Terumi Mei and Ringo Ameyuri, were safe in this turmoil that swept the whole village.

They are well protected by their respective families.

After Kisame digested the information, he pondered for a moment and instructed Mangetsu:

"You can go back, and I'll find you when I have something to do."

"Yes, boss, I promise to be there anytime!"

Mangetsu raised his small hand in a salute, with a look of loyalty Kisame, and respectfully exited the room.

Kisame looked at the leaving Mangetsu with a meaningful look.

What he wants to know most now is whether the Hiramekarei is in that guy's hands or not.

He will check it out tonight.

…

The night sky is dark and the wind is high.

In the Hozuki clan, a cloud of unknown liquid slipped out and got into the sewer from the manhole cover on the street.

In this way, it left the village unnoticed.

Kisame appeared on a nearby street corner.

"As soon as I came back, this guy couldn't hold back and started to act, sneakily, it seems that Hiramekarei is really with him."

Kisame thought to himself.

He can sense monster cells from tens of kilometers away.

Therefore, since Kisame returned to the village, Mangetsu's whereabouts have been completely exposed under his eyes. The other party wants to hide the sky and cross the sea to do some small tricks, which is completely a fool's dream.

In fact, even if Mangetsu just stays there and doesn't do anything—

Kisame will take the initiative to attack and torture it, and at least nine methods have been prepared to force Mangetsu to tell the truth.

After all, when he came back this time, there was not much time left.

After half an hour.

Mangetsu came to the outside of the village, to an uninhabited remote courtyard.

He walked into an inconspicuous side room, turned on a switch with ease, and finally entered a secret room.

This is Mangetsu's secret base, it is full of various weapons and scrolls.

He hurried to the bookshelf, picked up a scroll on it, and unfolded it slowly.

On the scroll, there are seven characters.

From left to right, they are Kabutowari, Samaheda, Kubukiribocho, Shibuki, Nuibari, Kiba, and Hiramekarei.

This is the scroll used to store Kirigakure's Seven Ninja Swords, but the first six characters are dull, and only the last "Hiramekarei" character emits a faint light of chakra.

Obviously, inside it is the Hiramekarei, the head of the seven ninja knives.

"Whoo~"

After Mangetsu checked it, he breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little more at ease.

He didn't believe that the terrifying guy, Hoshigaki Kisame, would easily give up Hiramekarei.

So he lay in bed at night thinking about it, and finally decided to transfer the sword again and take it to a farther and safer place.

Just when Mangetsu put away the scroll and prepared for the next move.

'Sizzle.'

A dazzling golden lightning suddenly rushed in from the outside, illuminating the entire secret room, and hit Mangetsu, causing him to let out a scream.

'Gurgl.'

A cloud of white liquid flowed on the ground along with the scroll , and slipped into the yard.

Then, the white liquid returned to the shape of a slime again, and swallowed the scroll that sealed the Hiramekarei into his stomach.

"Who are you?!"

Mangetsu stared at a man in black in front of him in shock and anger, who had just attacked him with lightning ninjutsu.

This person was wearing a cloak and a hood, so he couldn't see clearly, but judging from his tall and mighty figure... Mangetsu immediately thought of Kisame.

'Is it him?'

Kisame did not choose to reveal his identity, but changed his voice and responded coldly:

"I am the one who will take your life."

On a whim, he planned to use Mangetsu to practice his hands and test the abilities he had recently developed, as he had not yet had the opportunity to use it in actual combat.

After all, the guy in front of him has an "invincible body", and it is very difficult to kill no matter how he hits it.

After ravaging it for a while, he will mercilessly take the Hiramekarei.

Thereby completely defeating Mangetsu's body and mind.

Kisame is doing this out of kindness.

He wants his little brother to experience the most tragic failure. Only in this way can Mangetsu achieve real growth and then his future will be promising.

In the courtyard.

A white slimeswith a height of less than one meter and a mysterious man in black with a height of nearly two meters faced each other.

Suddenly, the man in black quickly formed a seal.

'Water whip?'

Slime, also known as Hozuki Mangetsu, can see at a glance the seal formed by the other party, which is a ninjutsu commonly used by Kirigakure Anbu.

But what surprised him was that after the man in black completed the seal, what appeared in his hand was not a water whip, but a golden... lightning whip.

It's obviously a water release seal, but the one formed was a thunder release ninjutsu.

That's because the man in black, Kisame, activated the ability of the Thunder God tenketsu in his body when he formed the seal, and transformed all his water attribute chakra into Lighting attribute.

'Crackle!'

As soon as Kisame whipped the whip, the air burst into a loud noise. Not only was its power amazing, but the dazzling golden light emitted by the whip also had a light pollution effect, which could interfere with people's sight.

He took the whip and strode toward the slime.

Mangetsu is not afraid at all.

If it was him in the past, he would be somewhat afraid of lightning Ninja, but today is different from the past, his hydration technique is no longer conductive, and there is no weakness.

So, he also quickly formed a seal, and he summoned a milky white water whip, which was a tit for tat.

'Snap! Snap! Snap!'

The two quickly exchanged hands, and the golden lightning whip and the white water whip constantly collided, rubbed, and entwined, like two long dragons flying in a fierce confrontation.

Under the influence of the fighting between the two sides, the floor tiles in the yard were quickly shattered, and several trees were also torn off and collapsed.

It was a mess.

The ninjutsu used by the two was also born out of the water whip.

Kisame's lightning whip inherits the destructive power of lightning, and it is also a rare golden Lighting, and its attack power is even more terrifying.

As for Mangetsu's flowing water whip, it uses softness to overcome rigidity to the extreme, and it has extremely strong toughness.

For a while, the two fought evenly.

But.

When Kisame raised his other hand and took out the second lightning whip, the balance of victory tilted.

Relying on his huge chakra, he held two whips to open the way from side to side, and soon completely suppressed the slime, making it stop and retreat.

In the end, Mangetsu was defeated, the water whip shattered, and it was bound by Kisame's lightning whip.

Within a second, he melted into a pool of liquid and successfully escaped again.

Kisame did not pursue, but looked at the pool of liquid in a leisurely manner, that returned to the appearance of a slime again not far away.

Mangetsu finally became serious.

He originally suspected that the mysterious man in black was Kisame, but now he is not so sure. Because as far as he knows, Kisame can't use lightning ninjutsu, let alone such a powerful Golden Lighting.

However, no matter who the enemy is, Mangetsu realized that if he wanted to defeat the opponent, he had to show his true skills.

"Roar!"

With a roar, Mangetsu's body that was less than one meter high rapidly expanded, and in just a few seconds, it became a water giant four or five meters high.

'Dong dong dong.'

It rolled on the ground, like a mad elephant, and rushed towards Kisame recklessly.

'Crackle!'

The two lightning whips slammed on the giant water slime, splashing a bunch of water, but they couldn't stop the latter's progress.

The water giant slime endured the severe whipping, rushed to Kisame, and knocked the latter away.

'Boom.'

Kisame knocked down the wall behind him and was buried under the rubble.

Kisame lifted the broken walls that were pressing on him, stood up, and saw the giant water slime rushing up again.

'It's time to end this boring battle.'

Kisame narrowed his eyes, and his hands formed a seal as he pressed to the ground, and countless golden lightning swept toward the giant water slime like a surging water wave.

'Sizzle.'

The lightning interfered with the movement and sight of the water giant, making it stagnant.

'Now.'

'Whoosh.'

Kisame moved in an instant, he jumped into the air, and looked level with the giant water slime.

He raised his right hand, and at some point in his palm, a black word for "Seal" appeared, and a seal fanned towards the giant water slime.

No matter how Senju Hashima used this technique, he was going to use it as a slap.

Under this great seal, the giant water slime was stunned on the spot.

At this moment, in addition to feeling the strong force from the opponent's palm, Mangetsu also had a strange and inexplicable force intruding into his body, suppressing his chakra.

Next second.

The huge water slime lost its balance, stumbled to the side back, and finally crashed into the main room, crushing it with a bang.

In the ruins, Mangetsu appeared in his original form, only feeling indescribably tired, fell to the ground with a tilt of his head, and fell asleep.

Kisame came over.

He lowered his hand that contained the seal, which could suppress even the chakra of the tailed beast.

However, this one move that made the self-proclaimed invincible Mangetsu fall into a coma, and also made Kisame realize that:

In the ninja world, the sealing techniques are eternal.

No matter how powerful a ninja, how powerful a ninja tool, or how inexplicable ninjutsu, in the end, it will be defeated by the omnipotent sealing technique.

Perhaps, this is the biggest reason why the Uzumaki clan was attacked by various forces, and finally led to the subjugation of the village and the genocide.
