Konan Is Injured

"Alright."

"Burst."

Konan pointed in Zabuza's direction and spoke.

"Um?"

Zabuza suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, a sense of unease creeping over him.

"Bang!"

An explosion suddenly occurred where Zabuza was standing, and Zabuza was blasted into the air, crashing heavily to the ground. His white pants were now completely blood-red.

"Puff"

That wasn't the end of it; Zabuza immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Zabuza- sama."

Haku rushed over anxiously to check Zabuza's injuries. He was terrified that Zabuza would leave him like this.

Seeing that Zabuza had already Zabuza unconscious, Haku no longer had any intention of attacking him. Now, Haku's only thought was to take Zabuza to Zabuza medical treatment.

"Brush."

Haku picked up Zabuza, and Konan didn't stop him, because what she needed most right now was time, as Nagato's situation was extremely precarious.

The Zabuza Masked Man also observed Zabuza's situation, and he never expected that Konan would turn the tables on him.

"Kisame, go stop her."

The Masked Man gave the order to Kisame, without hesitation, withdrew from the battle and charged towards Konan.

"Rise"

Konan whispered a command, and as her finger pointed, the Explosive Tag seemed to find their direction. Countless Explosive Tag flew over Konan's head and headed straight for Kisame, creating a scene that blotted out the sky. Kisame instantly felt as if the sky had suddenly turned black.

"Water Release."

Kisame clasped his hands together, and as if a tap had been turned on, a huge amount of water poured from Kisame mouth. Kisame wanted to use his Water Release to wet the Explosive Tag, so that even if the Explosive Tag weren't destroyed, their power would be greatly reduced.

"Burst."

"Boom boom boom."

As Konan finished speaking, the explosion occurred instantly. The shockwave was blocked by the water, and Kisame, who was in the water, was not seriously injured. In any case, Kisame's skin was thick and tough, so he was basically unharmed.

Konan hadn't expected Kisame to use such a method to neutralize the explosion, which made Konan suddenly doubt her own battle plan. Could she really support Nagato with her Explosive Tag?

While Explosive Tag are powerful, their main advantage is surprise. Now that you're resorting to revealing your hand, it will be extremely difficult to deal with an experienced ninja like Kisame.

"Stay!"

As Kisame finished speaking, countless sharks flew out of the water.

"Burst."

Konan is also tough.

"So what if you have a lot of sharks? My Explosive Tag aren't to be underestimated."

Konan is quite confident in the number of Explosive Tag she has. Remember, in the original Konan was a ruthless person who literally killed Obito with her Explosive Tag.

Unfortunately, Konan forgot one thing: she needed Chakra to control the Explosive Tag. And her opponent was Kisame, known as the Tailless Tailed Beast. Their battle had now become a contest of Chakra. Kisame had absolute confidence in himself in this regard.

Once Kisame's sharks were exhausted, he immediately summoned them again. Konan, however, paid no attention. She continuously summoned Explosive Tag, killing all the visible sharks.

However, as time went by, Konan realized something was wrong. Why was the number of sharks not decreasing, while her Chakra was constantly draining away? At that moment, Konan understood Kisame's plan.

"Since you're hiding inside, I'll blast you out."

One Explosive Tag doesn't work on you, so bring on a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand. That's the kind of extravagant battle Konan fights. This time, Kisame didn't see the sky blot out, but rather complete darkness.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Explosions echoed one after another, and Kisame, in the water, was stunned by Konan's methods. Where did this woman get so many? This was the first thought that popped into Kisame's mind. At the same time, Kisame began to worry about his safety. Kisame was now surrounded by Konan's Explosive Tag. With Explosive Tag, the water balls that Kisame spat out shrank a little.

Kisame glanced at the Kisame in his hand and instantly had an idea.

"This time, I'm counting on you, my old buddy."

Kisame understood Kisame's words, opened its mouth and bit Kisame's arm, frantically draining Kisame's Chakra. Kisame looked at Kisame with a pained expression, thinking to himself.

"I just wanted you to be my shield! Do you really have to start charging me now?"

Kisame didn't hear Kisame's thoughts. In Kisame's eyes, working for someone meant first getting paid for your labor.

After Kisame had eaten and drunk his fill, Kisame's face turned even paler.

"Time to get to work."

As Kisame saw Konan's Explosive Tag getting closer and closer, he spoke to Kisame.

Kisame is an honest weapon. Since it's been paid, it's bound to do its bidding. Kisame began to grow larger, then opened its massive jaws and swallowed Kisame whole.

This was Kisame's battle plan: to use Kisame's defenses to neutralize the explosive power of the Explosive Tag. Just as Kisame hid inside Kisame's body, the explosion reached Kisame's side.

"Bang, bang, bang."

The continuous explosions created a mist that obscured Konan's vision, so she didn't see that Kisame Konan already hidden inside Kisame.

When the smoke cleared, Konan only Kisame's weapon, Kisame, stuck in the ground. There was no sign of Kisame. Konan assumed that Kisame had been blown to smithereens, after all, she had witnessed the power of the explosion firsthand.

Konan breathed a sigh of relief; the Chakra depletion was simply too great. And her Chakra reserves weren't as unreasonable as Kisame's.

After finishing the battle, Konan started running towards Nagato. Konan knew Nagato needed her. Konan didn't even glance at the fallen Kisame; Kisame was too large and unsuitable as a woman's weapon.

Konan instantly darted past Kisame, completely exposing her back. She had no idea Kisame was still alive. Kisame, sharing vision with Kisame, knew his chance had arrived when he saw Konan's Kisame was turned to him.

As Konan was running, she suddenly felt something pierce her body. Looking down, she saw that the tip of a samurai sword had pierced through her flesh.

"The battle isn't over yet, why are you leaving already!"

Kisame whispered in Konan's ear.

"You..."

Konan knew immediately from the voice that Kisame was still alive; she had been careless.
