Chapter 167: Chapter 167 : Hoshigaki Kisame!!
"Is Raiga Kurosuki really that bad?"
The character of Fuguki Suikazan has been discussed.
For this person, everyone seems to have a similar opinion: he's a Mist Village ninja with ambition, intelligence, and strength.
If it weren't for Obito, that traitor, who took him out early, this guy might have gone further and become an indispensable member of the Hidden Mist Village.
If Fuguki Suikazan left a strong impression on people through his own abilities and qualities, Raiga Kurosuki is the opposite example.
In the light screen, Raiga Kurosuki's name appeared three times, and each time, what was said about him wasn't anything good.
At the end, it was even mentioned that this guy didn't even have the qualification to be resurrected by Kabuto's Reanimation Jutsu. It's clear how much the uploader despises him.
It's like they don't even consider him human.
"Before the event happened, I didn't believe Raiga Kurosuki would be this weak, but the reality is…"
The Fifth Hokage, Jiraiya, glanced at Minato, who was speaking, and continued, "A while ago, Team Guy took a mission, and during it, they ran into Raiga Kurosuki. This guy has some brains; he knew Guy wasn't easy to deal with, so he used a decoy tactic to lure Guy away. That way, he could handle Neji, Tenten, and Sai while Guy was gone."
Upon hearing this, Minato immediately reacted, "So Raiga was defeated by Neji, Tenten, and Sai?"
The Fifth Hokage, Jiraiya, nodded, "That's right. And since Lee's injuries weren't fully healed, Sai replaced him in Team Guy. If Lee had been there, even without much effort, just opening the Third Gate of the Eight Gates, I'm sure he could have taken Raiga down himself."
"Jiraiya-sensei, that's a bit much. I watched the Chunin Exam videos, and even if Lee opened the Third Gate, his speed would only be at the level of an Elite Chunin. Raiga is at least a veteran Jonin, so there's no way he'd be killed by Lee alone."
Jiraiya shrugged nonchalantly, replying, "I don't know about that, but Raiga was already taken out by Neji, Tenten, and Sai. If you're curious about my guess, you could ask Orochimaru if he'd be willing to search for Raiga's body and try Reanimation Jutsu to see if Lee could fight him again."
"Forget it. I'm not that bored."
Minato shook his head.
He was just a little surprised by Raiga's strength.
After all, anyone who could join the Seven Ninja Swordsmen must be an elite from the Hidden Mist Village. It didn't make sense for someone to be so weak. But the reality was, Raiga was indeed that weak.
In the original storyline, he could be said to have been killed by Guy's three students along with Naruto.
In this case, since Lee didn't receive Tsunade's treatment, Kabuto's medical skills were still inferior to Tsunade's. Although he managed to save Lee's ninja career, Lee still had to go through a long recovery period.
At this time, in order for Guy's team to smoothly take on missions, Jiraiya decided to assign Sai to Guy's team. He hoped that Sai's personality would be corrected through Guy's enthusiastic influence.
It seemed that things were going quite well.
During their time in Guy's team, Sai had already taken over Tenten's role as the one who constantly complained in the group.
He even teamed up with Neji and Tenten to defeat Raiga, saving face for Jiraiya and Konoha.
This was truly something to be happy about. Truly happy indeed!
[The review of Fuguki Suikazan is over, next up is the unique character in "Naruto" who looks like a man with a shark face—Kisame Hoshigaki.]
[Since "Naruto" is already finished, Kishimoto will probably never fill in the gaps about Kisame's ancestors and their connection to sharks, so I suspect these shark-like people in the Hidden Mist Village might have sneaked over from the "One Piece" world. (Laughs)]
[Alright, enough joking around. Let's get back to the topic.]
[In the first half of the video, many of Kisame's actions were pieced together. In the second half, the story of Kisame will be filled in with information from the original work.]
"The neighboring "One Piece" World? What does that mean?"
In Tobirama's office.
Hashirama was very interested in the sudden mention of "One Piece." He patted Tobirama's shoulder, hoping his younger brother would explain.
Tobirama sighed and helplessly said, "Big brother, just act like a human. How would I know what One Piece is? Although I'm smart, wise, a genius, and exceptional, I'm still human. For things I don't know, no matter how many times you ask, I won't know."
"I don't care, little brother, quickly use that invincible brain of yours and analyze it for me."
Seeing that Hashirama was starting to act like a child, what could Tobirama do?
He could only first distract him—no, I mean, analyze it a bit.
"From the three words 'One Piece World,' I can tell that this is a work about pirates, and in this work, there must be characters like the fishman Kisame."
"Hmm, hmm, little brother, that was a great analysis! Continue, I'll listen!"
Hashirama nodded happily, very approving of Tobirama's analysis.
"…There's nothing more. I've already finished my analysis."
"Heh, the clever, wise, genius, and exceptional second Hokage... is that it?"
Tobirama was speechless. He turned away, ignoring his crazy older brother.
Seeing that his little brother wasn't paying attention to him anymore, Hashirama didn't mind. He grinned and said to his wife, "Mito, you need to give me some attention."
Before Hashirama could finish, Mito coldly interrupted, "If you don't want to sleep in the small room tonight, shut up."
"Alright~"
[We all know that Kisame, before defecting from the Hidden Mist, was a trusted subordinate of the former owner of Samehada, Fuguki Suikazan, and a close confidant of the legendary Mizukage.]
[At this time, the situation in the Hidden Mist drastically changed. Obito, controlling the Fourth Mizukage, used his power to arrange for secret ninja missions, secretly connecting them with Konoha.]
[This action was basically like sending a flock of fat sheep to the slaughter.]
[The later events are well-known. Kisame received a hint from Fuguki Suikazan. When facing the Konoha forces led by Ibiki, he knew he couldn't protect everyone. To prevent any information from leaking, he decisively killed all the members of the Cypher Division.]
[It's worth mentioning that in the original story, the female team member simply greeted Kisame out of politeness, asking if he wanted to have a meal together. After being rejected, she quickly gave up and didn't bring it up again.]
[So, the claim that Kisame hated Fuguki Suikazan for killing his beloved female teammate does not exist here.]
[The animation team has a habit of adding unnecessary drama and ruining characters. They made the Cypher Division, tasked with a secret mission, look like a bunch of fools going on a spring outing.]
[As for the female team member being killed by Kisame, it was said that Kisame's life had been too difficult, implying some sort of fatalism.]
[In this incident, there was no conflict between Kisame and Fuguki Suikazan.]
