Ninja World: I, Kisame Hoshigaki, am no longer human!

"Grandpa, you saved my life, I'm very grateful. But I have to go, I absolutely have to go."

Obito didn't turn around. After saying those words, he rushed out the door.

Madara did not stop him, but watched Obito leave.

Because this was his plan all along.

At dusk, in a dense forest.

Obito burst out of a hidden tunnel and finally saw the light of day again.

"How are Rin and Kakashi doing now?"

As he ran forward, he asked Ah Fei, who was attached to him, a question.

All White Zetsu can communicate with other clones using their thoughts, so Tobi also knew about Rin and Kakashi's information and could guide Obito.

"This is very bad! Rin and Kakashi are surrounded by dozens of Kirigakure members, and they are all Jonin and Anbu. It seems to be related to some kind of experimental subject, but I don't understand."

Ah Fei had already prepared his lines and quickly replied.

"Damn it! Kakashi, you have to hold on, I'm coming right away," Obito muttered, quickening his pace and rushing desperately towards the battleground.

“Obito, you are now equipped with Hashirama’s artificial body. The combination of the Senju and Uchiha powers might unleash unprecedented strength…”

On the way, Abi gave Obito instructions, following Madara Uchiha's orders.

Under his guidance, Obito traveled while familiarizing himself with the two powers within his body, attempting to integrate them...

at the same time.

Inside a cave on the border of the Land of Water.

Following the orders of the Fourth Mizukage, the group of Kirigakure ANBU brought Nohara Rin here and tied her to a stone pillar deep inside the cave as bait.

Their mission was to wait for Kakashi to arrive, deliberately let him rescue Rin Nohara, and then send the two back to Konoha to release the Three-Tails from Rin's body.

This would achieve the goal of destroying Konoha Village.

After setting up the scene, under the orders of a ninja squad leader, only a few ninjas were left outside the cave to pretend to guard it. The rest of the ninjas went into hiding.

These people were unaware that the Fourth Mizukage had already been killed.

Unbeknownst to them, before Kakashi arrived to rescue them, a figure had already quietly slipped into the cave and appeared before Nohara Rin.

This figure is none other than Kisame Hoshigaki.

Kisame noticed that Rin was under a genjutsu, so he stepped forward and injected chakra into her body to break the genjutsu.

Nohara Rin slowly woke up.

"Who are you?"

She looked up, staring in surprise at Kisame, who was dressed in a black suit.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here to save you. Quickly take off your clothes."

Kisame smiled, and before he finished speaking, he reached out to pull off Rin's clothes.

"What are you doing?! Stop it right now!"

Lin was immediately terrified and instinctively tried to resist, but Kisame immediately restrained her with chakra threads and forcibly removed her clothes.

Kisame took her black coat, light pink skirt, dark red knee-high socks and shoes.

Soon, Lin was only left with her underwear and leggings.

"Please, don't..."

She collapsed to the ground, hugging her knees, her body curled up tightly, tears of humiliation streaming down her face.

"What nonsense are you thinking? I just need your scent to achieve the perfect disguise."

Kisame glanced at Rin in surprise, took off his suit jacket, and tossed it to her so she could drape it over her shoulders.

Then, in front of Lin, he formed a hand seal, activated the "Transformation" shoulder mark on his right shoulder, and with a "bang," he transformed into Lin's appearance.

Amidst a rustling sound, Kisame put on Rin's clothes.

"Who exactly are you, and what do you want?"

Lin stared in disbelief at Kisame's actions.

"Time is of the essence, I'll explain to you later. All you need to know is that you've fallen into a deadly trap, and only I can help you die once to save your life."

As Kisame said this, he reached out and placed his hand on Nohara Rin's shoulder.

Lin wanted to ask something more, but suddenly felt a powerful suction force coming from Kisame. She let out a cry of surprise, and was instantly sucked into Kisame's body, entering the Elysium Box.

Kisame sniffed his own scent.

A faint, delicate fragrance of a young girl.

Hmm, this should allow us to successfully deceive Kakashi and his ninja dogs.

Thinking this, he turned around, picked up the rope, and tied himself to the pillar.

Kisame has a plan.

If successful, it could bring him unimaginable benefits in the future.

So, after disguising himself as Lin, he lowered his head and waited patiently.

The cave was completely dark, and no one knew how much time had passed.

Suddenly.

A commotion arose outside the cave, followed by the explosion of explosive tags.

"It's a Konoha ninja! Seize him!" shouted a group of Kirigakure ANBU outside the cave.

coming.

Kisame knew that Kakashi had arrived.

Sure enough, after a while...

Boom!

Suddenly, a large hole appeared in the cave wall, and several ninja dogs led the way, guiding Kakashi there.

"Lin!"

Kakashi saw Rin tied to a stone pillar and quickly ran over to untie her and dispel the genjutsu.

"Kakashi!"

Kisame then put on his acting skills again, looking at Kakashi with a mixture of surprise and delight, perfectly mimicking Rin Nohara's expression.

"Come on!"

Kakashi grabbed Kisame's hand and fled out of the cave.

We arrived outside the cave.

"Let's go quickly, we'll lure the enemy away."

Several ninja dogs spoke to Kakashi, then scattered in all directions, quickly making a commotion and attracting the attention of the Hidden Mist ninjas.

Kakashi and his companion took the opportunity to escape towards Konoha.

On the road.

"Kakashi, something's wrong with me. I can feel something else inside me, like a monster..."

Kisame memorized his lines according to the script, laying the groundwork for the upcoming plot.

He was halfway through his sentence when the Hidden Mist's ANBU caught up with them, pretending to kill the two of them.

"I remember now... I've been subjected to some kind of terrible jutsu by Kirigakure. I can't go back to Konoha! Kill me now, Kakashi! I've been used. If I go back to Konoha, they might attack the village!"

Kisame recited the rest of his lines in one go as he ran away with Kakashi.

"What are you saying, Lin?"

Kakashi was shocked. After regaining his senses, he refused without hesitation, "I promised Obito I would protect you. I can't do that! Hang in there, Rin, there will definitely be a solution!"

After saying that, he told Rin to escape back to Konoha first, while he stayed behind to hold off the enemy.

"Can't!"

Kisame also refused Kakashi's offer and resolutely stayed to fight alongside him.

But then again.

If Kisame really is Rin Nohara, he would definitely listen to Kakashi and escape back to Konoha first.

Even if the Three-Tails within him is released, so what? The vast Hidden Leaf Village has so many powerful ninjas; surely they can handle a mere Three-Tails, Isobu?

Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Sannin, Minato Namikaze, and Kushina and her husband—any one of them would have plenty of ways to subdue the Three-Tails.

In other words, Madara Uchiha's plan to use Rin Nohara to destroy Konoha was doomed to failure from the very beginning.

In the woods.

Kakashi and Rin engaged in a fierce battle with the enemy, and under the deliberate drive of the Hidden Mist Anbu, they continued to move towards Konoha.

After both sides had gone far away.

Kisame emerged from behind a large tree.

Yes.

Kisame, who transformed into Nohara Rin, was actually his shadow clone. His real body followed far behind, patiently waiting for the right moment to appear.

At this moment, looking down from mid-air.

Kakashi, Rin, and the rest of the Kirigakure Anbu moved westward rapidly towards Konoha.

Meanwhile, Obito Uchiha headed east, guided by White Zetsu, and rapidly approached Kakashi and the others.

After a period of time.

"It's raining?"

In the woods, Obito suddenly looked up and saw raindrops falling from the sky.

No, it's not raining.
