The filming location of "Beach Frenzy Shark"

In the nursery.

“Am I really that terrifying, little one?”

Kisame raised his fist, as large as a casserole, and waved it before Bai, narrowing his eyes to emit a subtle aura of murderous intent.

A remarkable scene unfolded. In an instant, Bai ceased his wailing. His tiny hands rested on his chest, holding his breath as he gazed quietly at Kisame.

“Not bad at all. Born with the ability to sense killing intent—a promising candidate for a ninja. At least, he won’t be easily ambushed from behind in the future.”

Kisame nodded in approval, satisfied with Bai's aptitude for the ninja arts. After amusing Bai for a while, he ascended to the second floor, where Yuki-onna had already made his bed.

“I need to review the film script. Call me if you need anything,” he instructed Yuki-onna, then entered the study.

Several hours later.

After finishing the script, Kisame finally understood why Director Yamamoto insisted he play the main villain.

The film was titled “Beach Rampage Shark,” a disaster romance as Yamamoto had described. Kisame’s character appeared to be the president of a shipping company, but behind the scenes he was a mafia boss—seizing properties of companies and individuals through violence and crime.

A villain with an outwardly respectable facade, guilty of every conceivable evil.

Kisame’s ascent to mafia boss was owed not only to his ruthlessness, but also to his power as a wicked ninja. In the story, he makes a summoning pact with man-eating sharks from the deep sea, commanding them to attack fishermen and passenger ships, thereby controlling the maritime routes.

Recently, this villain has set his sights on a picturesque seaside beach, scheming to acquire it through trickery and develop it into oceanfront real estate. Using ninjutsu, he conjures a tsunami and summons the sharks, hiding them within the waves to attack tourists on the shore.

His plan is to cause a catastrophic accident, scare off visitors, and then buy the beach at a bargain price.

Kisame not only possesses the appearance and aura of a villain, but can also use Water Release ninjutsu to create tsunami effects and even summon swarms of sharks. Thus, he became Yamamoto’s ideal villain.

The male lead, Fuji Noble, plays a young navigator and the owner of the beach. Kind-hearted, brave, and optimistic, he vows to protect the beach from evil.

Tsunade, as the female lead, is a tourist who unwittingly gets swept into the conflict between the opposing sides. Over the course of events, she falls in love with Fuji Noble, and together they defeat Kisame, the villain.

Such is the formulaic story.

Kisame had expected the plot to be even more outrageous, akin to “Sharknado” and similar films.

Still, considering the nascent state of the film industry in this world, the story was already quite decent. Besides, the greatest selling point was Tsunade’s starring role. With her involvement, the box office in the Leaf Village and Fire Country would be assured.

“Kisame, dinner is ready.”

Just then, Yuki-onna’s gentle knock came from outside.

“Alright, I’ll be right there.” Kisame closed the script and stepped out.

After a warm and sumptuous meal, Kisame returned to the study, picked up the script, and began memorizing the villain’s lines.

As a ninja, having accepted the task, he would fulfill it with the utmost seriousness and professionalism. Such was the self-discipline of a ninja.

The night passed uneventfully.

Early the next morning, after enjoying the breakfast meticulously prepared by Yuki-onna, Kisame headed to the hotel to join the crew, departing for the seaside beach to begin filming.

On the way, Kisame asked Director Yamamoto about the filming schedule and learned that “Beach Rampage Shark” was expected to take two to three months to shoot.

A rather lengthy period.

Kisame resolved to focus on physical training and cultivation, in addition to acting, during this time. He planned to continue refining his body and digging deeper into his potential, aiming to double his current chakra reserves.

After all, his body, having absorbed several ninja swords in succession, was nearing its capacity once more. In the short term, he probably couldn’t absorb any new swords without risking rupture.

In that sense, the filming task granted Kisame ample time to methodically enhance his muscular strength, accelerating his path toward peak physical condition.

Soon after, the group arrived at the filming location.

It was a stretch of seaside beach, with sunlight, seabirds, fishing boats, and a gentle breeze carrying the salt of the ocean, restoring body and soul to nature.

Under Yamamoto’s orders, the crew busied themselves with setting up the scene. Tsunade, as the female lead, was called over for instructions on the first episode.

“What, you want me to wear a swimsuit?”

Tsunade frowned as a female staff member handed her a swimsuit—a white one, with minimal fabric, certain to be quite revealing.

Tsunade could not accept it.

“Lady Tsunade, your character is here to sunbathe on the beach, so a swimsuit is essential,” Director Yamamoto tried his best to persuade her.

If Tsunade wore that swimsuit, it would be a huge draw for the film, sure to attract countless viewers to the theater.

Seeing this, Fuji Noble’s eyes lit up. He stepped forward, pulling Yamamoto aside:

“Director, if Tsunade doesn’t like it, don’t force her. With her figure, anything she wears will look stunning.”

“…Alright then,” Yamamoto sighed, conceding.

Tsunade cast Fuji Noble a grateful glance, slightly improving her impression of the notorious playboy.

Fuji Noble rejoiced inwardly.

Not far away.

“Huh… huh!”

Kisame panted heavily, supporting himself with two fingers as he cranked out hundreds of push-ups. His scene was the last of the day, so with plenty of time, he seized every moment to train, indifferent to anyone watching.

For Kisame, cultivation was the true priority.

The first scene of “Beach Rampage Shark” began filming.

Though Tsunade did not wear a swimsuit, she compromised by not donning her green cloak emblazoned with the “gamble” character. Instead, she chose a white tank top and tight blue jeans, perfectly accentuating her breathtaking figure, leaving the crew—men and women alike—utterly amazed.

The first scene’s plot was simple.

Tsunade arrives at the beach to sunbathe. Her beauty attracts harassment from a gang of Kisame’s underlings. At the critical moment, Fuji Noble makes his entrance, heroically rescuing her and driving off the ruffians. The two leads meet and become friends.

As it was the first shoot, and Tsunade lacked acting experience, she was nervous and struggled to relax. It wasn’t until dusk that most of her scenes were completed.

During this time, Kisame finished his workout, had an extra meal, took a shower, and was finally notified by staff to change into costume.

His villainous character was at last ready to make his grand entrance.
