Shapeshifting Technique

Kisame leaped backward, dodging Uzumaki Hane's attack.

As soon as Kisame landed, he quickly Hand Seals and unleashed "Water Release: Exploding Water Colliding Wave," instantly creating a lake around him with his Kisame Chakra.

Uzumaki Hane retreated further and further back to the edge of the lake, looking at Kisame floating on the lake.

"Water Release: Four Sharks Rain!" Kisame slapped the water's surface with both hands, instantly creating four shark-shaped water bullets with Chakra. Then, the four sharks soared into the air and swooped down towards Uzumaki Hane.

Uzumaki Hane shouted, "Canine Red Lotus!" His right hand transformed into a dog-shaped lava, charging towards the shark-shaped water bullet in the air.

Bang! The shark water bullets scattered, turning into countless smaller shark water bullets that rained down on the Uzumaki Hane, densely covering the area where it was located.

Uzumaki Hane unleashed several punches towards the sky with his right hand, sending up numerous Rock Fist that destroyed countless small shark water bullets.

Kisame Hand Seals, unleashing "Water Release: Water Shark Bullet Technique." He then Kisame into the lake, where a large amount of water enveloped him, forming a Kisame -like creature that leaped out of the lake and charged towards Uzumaki Hane.

Uzumaki Hane roared and unleashed a powerful volley of Rock Fist, blasting the shark's head apart and sending countless water droplets flying. The shark leaped back into the lake.

With Uzumaki Hane shout, Uzumaki Yu unleashed a barrage of attacks towards the lake, several Rock Fist slamming into the water. Bang! Huge waves surged up, the splashing water instantly evaporating. It took a while for the surface to calm down, but Kisame was nowhere to be seen. Uzumaki Hane's expression hardened, and he was about to continue his attack.

Suddenly, the lake surface burst open, and a shark carrying Kisame soared into the sky, bringing with it a massive surge of water that swept towards Uzumaki Yu. Beneath Uzumaki Hane's feet, a stream of lava shot into the sky, forming a giant lava dragon that charged toward Kisame.

With a bang, the two collided in mid-air, instantly splashing countless water droplets and billowing smoke. The lava dragon smashed through the water waves, then shattered and fell to the ground.

At that moment, Kisame, transformed into a shark, soared into the sky, passed over Uzumaki Hane, and fell into a nearby river. Uzumaki Hane, of course, wouldn't let Kisame escape. He burst forth from his feet and charged towards Kisame, reaching the riverbank in the blink of an eye.

The shark, hovering slightly on the surface, saw Uzumaki Hane charging towards it and dove into the river with a bang, creating a huge wave. The shark then soared into the air again, carrying the wave, and charged towards Uzumaki Hane.

Uzumaki Hane's eyes narrowed, and his hands transformed into a lava two-headed dog, charging towards the sky. Bang! The two-headed dog collided with the shark in mid-air, countless water droplets splashing everywhere, as if a torrential rain had fallen from the sky. Finally, the shark engulfed the two-headed dog and continued to swoop down towards Uzumaki Hane.

Uzumaki Hane showed no panic. His right hand suddenly swelled to ten times its normal size, and with a loud shout, he slammed it into the shark. Water splashed everywhere, and the shark flew backward, crashing into the river and creating countless splashes.

Kisame surfaced, looked at Uzumaki Hane, and said in a deep voice, "This is really persistent. However, I have the advantage of terrain here, and it's very disadvantageous for your Kekkei Genkai. Water Release: Thousand Feeding Sharks."

Huge waves surged around Kisame, and sharks kept emerging from the waves. The towering waves surged toward Uzumaki Hane, and were densely packed with sharks.

Uzumaki Hane's eyes narrowed to an extreme. He roared and unleashed a barrage of Rock Fist that crashed into the waves. Each Rock Fist slammed into the water, instantly killing the sharks and sending them vanishing in smoke. But the Rock Fist were also swallowed by the waves. Each punch took away several sharks, yet the sharks remained densely packed, and the massive waves drew ever closer.

Uzumaki Hane clasped his hands together and unleashed a Great Eruption Rock Fist that blotted out the sky, colliding with the towering waves. The explosion was like a thunderclap, blasting the waves apart and evaporating countless droplets in mid-air. Simultaneously, the sharks within the waves turned into smoke and vanished from their spots.

Immediately afterwards, Uzumaki Hane shouted and used "Great Eruption" again, blasting out a huge Rock Fist that rushed towards Kisame in the river ahead.

Kisame floated on the river, watching the massive Rock Fist sweep towards him, and said to Uzumaki Hane, "I didn't expect you to actually disperse my water waves." With that, he rapidly Hand Seals, unleashing "Water Release: Great Shark Bullet Technique!" The river surged, and in an instant, this section of the river seemed to dry up, all the water forming a gigantic shark that charged towards Uzumaki Hane. The Great Shark Bullet was no ordinary Ninjutsu; it could increase its power by absorbing Chakra. In other words, the stronger the opponent's Ninjutsu, the more powerful the Great Shark Bullet could become.

The giant shark charged at the Rock Fist, opened its mouth, and bit down on the Rock Fist. Kisame roared, controlling the shark, trying to absorb the Chakra on the Rock Fist.

However, the Rock Fist seemed unaffected, breaking through the giant shark and continuing its charge towards Kisame. Boom! The Rock Fist blasted open that section of the river, turning the riverbed into lava. However, it was quickly submerged by the water rushing down from upstream.

A corpse surfaced in the river, but it wasn't Kisame's face. Uzumaki Hane's eyes widened in surprise and doubt. "Was it the Shapeshifting Technique? Well, that makes sense. The real Kisame wouldn't have been killed so easily. He must have run out of Chakra. But I wonder how Kakashi-sensei is. I need to hurry over and help him."

In the original story, during the mission to rescue Gaara, Kakashi also fought Itachi who used the Shapeshifting Technique, and it took him a great deal of effort to defeat him. This time the duel was brought forward, and no one knew what the situation was like. Uzumaki Hane was worried about Kakashi's safety, so without any delay, she rushed to the location where they had just met, wanting to help Kakashi deal with Itachi.

When Uzumaki Hane arrived at the location, only Kakashi remained, standing there panting, clearly exhausted from the battle. Approaching Kakashi, Uzumaki Hane asked, "Kakashi-sensei, are you alright?"

Kakashi's face was a little pale, but he seemed to be alright.

Kakashi said, "It's alright, I was prepared this time, and he didn't gain any advantage."

Kakashi then asked, "Yu, how are things on your end?"

Uzumaki Hane said, "I killed the opponent, but it seems to have been just a puppet."

At this moment, Kakashi put his eye mask back on, and his lazy demeanor returned.

Kakashi said, "That's a real shame, they all got away." As he spoke, Kakashi began to recall the battle that had just taken place.
