Chapter 190 Only Science Will Not Lie!
Uehara Shu looked at Hoshigaki Kisame.
Although the battle strategy was successful, there was no joy on Kisame's face.
In addition to fatigue, there was also a trace of anxious worry.
"Kisame, what's wrong?"
Hoshigaki Kisame quickly took out the Sword of Wisdom.
"Shu, Zhan Long has no reaction."
Uehara Shu took the Sword of Wisdom.
The next moment, a dull feeling came.
If the previous Sword of Wisdom gave people a sense of vitality, then the current Sword of Wisdom gave people a sense of decadence.
But Uehara Shu was not too worried.
Uehara Shu had felt such changes above the Skeleton Emperor.
When the Third Mizukage attacked with all his strength and consumed 88% of the soul flow, the Skeleton Emperor would be like this.
And when the soul power of the Third Mizukage slowly recovered a little under the effect of time, the breath of the Skeleton Emperor could also recover.
The situation on the battlefield has been described by the Yuanshi.
Uehara Osamu knew that when Hoshigaki Kisame was on the verge of death, Zhanlong exploded his power to protect Hoshigaki Kisame.
But the explosion must have a price.
Hoshigaki Kisame was worried about this.
"Don't worry."
Uehara Osamu handed the Sword of Wisdom back to Hoshigaki Kisame and said.
"Zhanlong just fell into a deep sleep. As long as it is given enough time, it can recover."
"Before that, the power of the Sword of Wisdom can still be used as usual."
"It won't have much impact on your strength, Kisame."
Hearing Uehara Osamu's answer, Hoshigaki Kisame's expression relaxed.
"That's good."
He was not worried about his own strength, but worried about Zhanlong.
Zhanlong "spoke swearing".
However, Hoshigaki Kisame had already regarded Zhanlong as his friend, partner, and partner, even though Zhanlong was only the consciousness of the Sword of Wisdom and not a flesh and blood creature.
"Kisame, congratulations, you first restrained Orochimaru, and then resisted Jiraiya. This time, Kisame, you will definitely be famous in the ninja world. No one in the younger generation can compare with you."
"Just like Minato Namikaze of Konoha back then."
Kisame Hoshigaki shook his head.
"I'm still not strong enough."
"The existence of the Sword of Wisdom has brought me a huge advantage."
"But Orochimaru only used physical skills and summoning skills to completely suppress me."
"And Jiraiya's attack was even more terrifying."
"I almost couldn't hold on."
"No, I didn't hold on."
"It was Zhanlong who saved me."
"I held back the Sword of Wisdom."
This made Kisame Hoshigaki realize that a strong ninja sword can indeed bring him a great improvement in strength and make his overall strength very strong, but he must also keep up.
Otherwise, he will become the weakness of the ninja sword.
"Kisame, you don't have to blame yourself too much. At this age, it's already quite good to have reached your level of strength. Jiraiya and Orochimaru are both well-known top ninjas."
"Their strength is ranked among the top in the entire ninja world."
"Kisame, you are already very impressive to be able to achieve this level."
"You still have time, you can continue to grow, and you will definitely be worse than them in the future."
"Among the younger generation, Konoha's Hatake Kakashi, Iwagakure's Huang Tu, Kumogakure's Darui, and Sand Village's Maki are far inferior to your performance."
"If they face Orochimaru or Jiraiya, they would have been defeated long ago."
"It's difficult to hold on for a moment."
Kisame Hoshigaki was defeated, but he held on for a long time.
If it were other ninjas of the same age, it would be impossible to do it.
Of course, this is for normal ninjas.
Itachi Uchiha, Shisui Uchiha, Sasuke Uchiha, Naruto Uzumaki and other ninjas with cheating skills are not counted.
Uchiha Itachi, who had just joined the Akatsuki organization, defeated Orochimaru directly with an illusion.
The sixteen-year-old Uzumaki Naruto had already developed ninjutsu such as the Wind Style Rasenshuriken.
There was also Gaara from the Sand Village, who succeeded the Wind Shadow at the age of sixteen.
But then again, Gaara when he succeeded the Wind Shadow might not be a match for the current Hoshigaki Kisame.
Gaara's attack methods were almost all ninjutsu.
Whether it was Gaara's own ninjutsu or the chakra from Shukaku.
And the Sword of Wisdom could absorb all of these.
In Uehara Osamu's opinion, Hoshigaki Kisame was asking too much of himself.
After this battle, Hoshigaki Kisame lost two games.
Both games were at a disadvantage.
In a battle against Jiraiya, he was almost killed.
However, the evaluation of Hoshigaki Kisame by the people in the ninja world did not decline, but improved.
"I'm afraid that Hoshigaki Kisame's strength has already touched the edge of the Kage level."
"Orochimaru, Jiraiya, these are veteran top-level ninjas."
"Facing them, he was able to hold out for so long. Considering his age, Hoshigaki Kisame has actually won."
"You know, the current Mizukage of the Hidden Mist Village, Yagura, is no match for Orochimaru in a one-on-one fight."
"In the future, how much will Hoshigaki Kisame grow?"
"The strongest Mizukage of all generations?"
Hoshigaki Kisame sighed.
"But this time, the casualties in the village were too heavy. I watched them sacrifice one after another, but I couldn't do anything. That feeling of powerlessness made me uncomfortable."
"Xiu, what do you think I should do to make up for this shortcoming?"
"Taijutsu ninjas and psychic beasts have great restraint on me."
Uehara Shu thought for a while.
"There is no better quick fix. I can only rely on you, Kisame, to accumulate it slowly, just like my forging technique, which is improved step by step and accumulated through time and training."
In fact, it was not Taijutsu Ninja and Psychic Beast that restrained Inigan Kakisame.
But Kisame Mikaki restrained the ninjutsu ninja.
Therefore, when facing taijutsu ninjas and psychic beasts, Inikisaki Kisame can only rely on his own strength to fight.
The current strength of Kisame Kisaki is definitely not as good as Jiraiya and Orochimaru.
Even if it is said that during the battle, Jiraiya and Orochimaru's ninjutsu have been "deleted".
"But there is a way to help you get through this stage, Kisame."
Kisame Kisaki's eyes lit up.
"any solution?"
"Trust your partner."
Uehara Shu asked: "Kisame, are you familiar with Ryougui?"
"Kaki Ryougui? My cousin?"
"good."
"We were familiar with each other when we were young, but as we grow up, we gradually spend less time in contact with them."
"Ryogame is currently developing a swordsmanship style called Panshi-ryu. It has a very good effect in dealing with swordsmanship ninjas and taijutsu ninjas. It just matches your situation, Kisame."
"Rock flow?"
"Using the broadsword as the main means of combat, he is alert for offense and defense, and is good at defensive counterattacks."
Kisame Kisaki's brows moved slightly.
"Then, can I learn this Rock Flow?"
"Kisame, do you want to attack and defend at the same time? Yes, you can, but again, it will take a lot of time and energy, just like improving your basic attributes and abilities."
Osamu Uehara said: "Instead of learning the Rock Style, you should spend your time on chakra absorption techniques, water escape, and taijutsu."
"That might be more efficient."
Kisame Kisaki thought for a while.
"Xiu, what you said makes sense, but can they withstand Jiraiya and Orochimaru-level physical attacks? Especially the huge psychic beast, which is incredibly powerful."
Osamu Uehara smiled.
"One person may not be able to stop it, so use two people. If two people can't stop it, then use three people."
"Also, it's good that they are Panseki-ryu ninjas, but that doesn't mean they can't use ninjutsu."
Kisame Mikigaki nodded.
After confirming that there was no problem in slaying the dragon, Kisame Mikigakaki felt relieved and told Osamu Uehara about the details of the war, mainly the abilities, experiences, countermeasures, and techniques of Orochimaru and Jiraiya.
"As expected of a Sannin, he is indeed very strong."
"Everyone has the ability to become a shadow."
…
…
Konoha.
"Sarutobi-sensei, Minato, I'm sorry, I failed to live up to your expectations."
Jiraiya did not return to Konoha. What returned to Konoha was a handwritten letter from Jiraiya.
The operation against Kirigakure failed.
However, Konoha's "life" still needs to go on.
Jiraiya led some Konoha ninjas to the northeastern border of the Land of Fire.
Fight against the ninjas from Hidden Cloud Village.
Orochimaru led some Konoha ninjas to the northwest border of the Land of Fire.
Fight against the ninjas from Iwagakure.
The remaining Shimura Danzo continued to fight against the Kirigakure Village.
Just like before.
But the situation in Konoha is much worse than before.
A big battle.
Kirigakure Village suffered heavy losses, but Konoha's losses were not small either.
Under this situation, it is very difficult to fight on three fronts at the same time. In terms of numbers, physical strength, and mental pressure, they are all facing huge pressure, and they can only keep retreating.
Jiraiya looked at the Kumogakure ninja opposite and recalled the scene of the previous battle with the Kirigakure army.
He formed an absolute suppression on the pufferfish ghost.
However, just when he was about to kill the puffer fish, Qing appeared.
After switching opponents, just when he was about to kill Inikisaki Kisame, the Sword of Wisdom burst out with its hidden ability.
As a result, the entire operation fell short.
That power shocked Jiraiya.
For a moment, I didn't react, and by the time I realized it, it was too late to respond.
The powerful explosive force forced him to push back his attack, and pushed him back hundreds of meters.
The Iron-Armed Toad, which was even closer, suffered devastating damage.
This made Jiraiya feel very guilty.
Didn't let Konoha's action succeed.
I can kill each of the dried persimmon Kisame, Ao, and the watermelon mountain puffer fish myself.
The iron-armed toad was also sacrificed.
Now not only did Jiraiya lack the courage to face the village, Hiruzen Sarutobi and Minato Namikaze were also unable to face Mt. Myoki.
It had been a long time since Jiraiya had experienced such a complete failure.
"I cannot absolve myself of the blame for the failure of the Kirigakure raid, so I must stop you firmly this time and atone for my sins."
"I won't let Konoha suffer any more losses."
"I, Jiraiya, hereby swear an oath!"
"If I'm still here, you can't even think about taking a step forward."
In comparison, Danzo's pressure will be lower.
After a big battle among the Kirigakure ninjas, most of them were in poor condition.
The puffer fish ghost, dried persimmon turtle, green... are all like this.
Only Black Hoe Lei Ya's condition remains relatively good.
And in terms of numbers, Danzo's army only had a slight advantage over this matter.
There is no comparison with Kumogakure and Iwagakure.
After all, in the previous war, a large number of ninjas were killed and injured in Kirigakure Village.
"Lord Orochimaru, no luck, the Iwagakure ninja is approaching again."
Orochimaru's face was gloomy and very ugly.
Before, when facing Kisame Kisaki, Orochimaru felt that he was close to defeating Kisame Kisame, but suddenly, there was an exchange of opponents.
The dried persimmon Kisame, who was about to be captured by him, became Jiraiya's opponent.
His opponent became Qing who came to support him.
A strange fire dragon directly seriously injured himself.
The injury seemed like a minor matter to Orochimaru.
Face is a big deal.
One of the three great ninjas was actually seriously injured by a mere sentient jounin from Kirigakure Village.
The current Orochimaru is not the completely "scientist" Orochimaru in the original plot.
The "scientist" Orochimaru no longer cares about the "mundane things" in the world, does not care about honor, does not care about face, and runs away if he can't win. "Scientific research" has become the only thing Orochimaru pursues.
Orochimaru wanted to inflict serious damage on Ao and regain the situation.
But at this moment, Jiraiya gave the order to retreat.
Orochimaru wanted to buy some time, at least give himself some time to fight back against Ao.
But Jiraiya directly moved out Sarutobi Hiruzen.
This forced Orochimaru to retreat.
So what could have been - Ao relied on his ninja sword to severely injure Orochimaru, but Ao couldn't bear Orochimaru's counterattack, and the battle between the two ended with Orochimaru winning.
But because of Jiraiya's order to retreat, it turned out like this - Ao severely injured Orochimaru, and Orochimaru was defeated and fled.
In the former, Orochimaru can still maintain his powerful image.
But for the latter, Orochimaru suspected that countless people in the ninja world might be laughing at him.
Those people don't know their own strength and Qing's strength at all, so they will only judge from the superficial and short-term results.
Orochimaru felt that he had really suffered a lot in the matter in the village.
The position of Hokage is gone.
At the beginning, it was agreed that there would be fair competition and everyone should rely on their abilities, but in the blink of an eye, Namikaze Minato secretly took the "back door".
In this battle, I also suffered a big loss.
He worked hard, but was beaten extremely harshly. He also lost face and became a stepping stone for Qing.
"Is a village like this really worth what I pay so much for?"
An idea appeared in Orochimaru's mind.
"It's all false, it's all deception..."
"Only science cannot lie to people."
“The more you give, the more you get back.”
“There was no backroom operation.”
"No one else is forcing you."
"Besides, it's very interesting, and the rewards you can gain far exceed the fighting between these ninjas."
"Maybe it's time for me to step down from my position as a fighting ninja."
"War is so boring."
Hokage Building.
Sarutobi Hiruzen and Namikaze Minato stood behind the window, looking down at the entire village.
Both of them were in a bad mood.
The faces of both of them were ugly.
"Sandaime-sama, please let me go to the battlefield! The current situation in the village is very bad. I want to go to the battlefield and fight for the village."
Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head.
"Given the current situation in the village, you, Duoshuimen, can't change the situation by being on the battlefield alone. After all, we are now facing a siege from three sides, and you cannot support three battlefields at the same time."
"And the village needs you, the Hokage, to be in charge."
"Our actions this time were indeed too naive."
"The most important part of the information we got about Kirigakure Village is false. Kirigakure Village's support was much faster than we expected."
Namikaze Minato frowned.
"Sandaime-sama, this is what I don't understand. The false information must have been given deliberately by the Kirigakure Village. But by doing this, the Kirigakure Village suffered serious casualties and losses."
"Is it worth it to them just to put us Konoha in a worse situation?"
"Sacrifice yourself and our Konoha to help other ninja villages?"
"Are they all crazy?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes flickered.
"The people in Kirigakure Village are indeed crazy, but this time, there is a high probability that there is a third party hiding in the dark."
"Third party? Third generation, who could it be?"
