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

Kisame emerged from behind the wall.

"They are from the Uchiha clan."

The Hyuga members also spotted Kisame, and their faces lit up with joy when they saw his three-tomoe Sharingan.

The strength of an Uchiha ninja can be directly reflected in the number of tomoe (the three-tomoe eye markings) on their Sharingan. Three tomoe usually signify a Jonin, representing the elite force of the Uchiha clan.

Moreover, the person in front of him had an extraordinary air about him, with a cool and arrogant demeanor, clearly a high-ranking member of the Uchiha clan.

Whoosh.

Kisame leaped into the middle of the Hyuga group, joined them, and nodded to the head elder of the main family.

"Excellent! Please join me in taking down this man and reclaiming the Byakugan of my Hyuga clan."

The clan elder pointed at Ao and made a request to Kisame.

Although the ninjas from the two great dojutsu clans, the Uchiha and Hyuga, are usually at odds with each other, they are ninjas from the same village after all, and they must unite against a common enemy on the battlefield.

"it is good."

Kisame nodded and gave Ao a wicked smile.

not good.

Ao's expression changed. He had strong perception and could sense the massive chakra within Kisame, knowing that the other party was not someone to be trifled with.

Without saying a word, he turned and ran away.

"Chase!"

The elder of the Hyuga main family roared, ordering the branch family members to chase after him and take back his Byakugan at all costs.

The two sides engaged in a chase.

During this process, Qing suddenly heard a series of coughs coming from behind her.

what happened?

He turned around in surprise and disbelief, and was immediately met with an unbelievable scene.

It was that Uchiha ninja.

Taking advantage of the Hyuga group's unpreparedness, the man suddenly launched an attack, spewing out a large cloud of purple poisonous mist that enveloped the Hyuga ninjas.

The poison of the salamander.

"Cough cough..."

The group inhaled the poisonous fog, coughed incessantly, and soon collapsed to the ground, their bodies paralyzed.

"You bastard, why..."

The elder of the Hyuga clan lay on the ground, staring at Kisame in horror, never expecting that the other party would actually attack a ninja from the same village.

"Of course, it's because of your eye roll."

Kisame revealed a devilish smile and reached out to gouge out the man's remaining white eye.

"Stop! Do you know the consequences of doing this? The village will not let you get away with this, nor will it let the Uchiha clan get away with this... Ah!"

With a scream, Kisame also took away the last remaining Byakugan of the Hyuga clan elder.

"The Uchiha clan is indeed full of madmen; they can even harm their own village ninjas without restraint..."

Seeing this, Qing murmured to himself.

He gave Kisame a deep look, and before Kisame could catch up, he seized the opportunity to escape.

Kisame glanced at Ao's departing figure but ignored him.

A few minutes later.

The Hyuga ninjas who were poisoned by the salamander all died one after another, turning into cold corpses.

Kisame, along with the Byakugan, left the place.

Another few minutes passed.

Amidst the corpses scattered everywhere, a ninja from the Hyuga branch family suddenly got up, his face showing signs of shock.

He wasn't seriously poisoned, and managed to survive by feigning death, thus fooling Kisame.

"Damn Uchiha, you're finished..."

The man glanced sadly at the corpses of his companions, gritting his teeth. He then got up and fled out of town.

Kisame reappeared from behind the wall, watching the person's figure disappear.

He deliberately left one survivor.

Once this Hyuga ninja rejoins the main force of Konoha, he will definitely complain about the Uchiha, inciting internal strife between the Hyuga and Uchiha.

That'll be quite a show.

Next, Kisame disposed of the bodies of the Hyuga ninjas and found a quiet house in town to prepare for a new eye transplant surgery.

"Boom."

In the room, Kisame removed his right eye, carefully put away his original dead fish eyes, and then picked up the Byakugan and stuffed it into the hole in his right eye.

It turns out that the Hyuga clan's Byakugan is indeed much weaker in terms of bloodline compared to the Sharingan. Compared to the authentic Byakugan of the Otsutsuki clan, it is worlds apart.

Therefore, it didn't take long for Kisame's body to adapt to the Byakugan. As his right eye turned bluish-white and the veins around it bulged, the Byakugan's power activated at that moment.

X-ray vision, long-range vision, and a 360° field of view—these are the three basic abilities of the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan.

Left eye is a Sharingan, right eye is a Byakugan.

Having both eyes makes the world Kisame see very different from the world seen by ordinary people.

Only he, with his unique and powerful physique, could suppress the intense rejection reaction and allow the two eyes to coexist harmoniously and function together.

Most people wouldn't even consider it.

After obtaining the Byakugan, Kisame immediately put it to use and continued moving towards the front lines.

Not long after.

Kisame stood halfway up a mountain, activated his Byakugan, and saw in the distance a large army of Konoha ninjas who were encamped and resting on a plain.

A rough estimate puts the number at over 5,000.

This is indeed a large-scale operation.

However, for a ninja of Kisame's caliber, numbers are meaningless. No matter how many ordinary ninjas come, they will only be sent to their deaths.

After all, he possesses the power of "Hibiki-Ultraman - Strong Strike", and he is least afraid of fighting in groups; he will only become stronger in battle.

In other words, if a real fight breaks out, these five thousand Konoha ninjas will actually amplify his power, causing his strength to rise to an even more terrifying level.

Kisame was concerned about how many skilled fighters Konoha had sent this time.

First of all, it can be confirmed that the high-ranking members of both the Uchiha and Hyuga clans have been mobilized, including the two clan leaders, Fugaku Uchiha and Hiashi Hyuga.

With Kisame's current strength, he wouldn't fear even if the top ninja from those two great clans attacked him together, but—

If you add the Legendary Sannin of Konoha, the Yellow Flash Minato Namikaze, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki Kushina, as well as the Anbu sealing squad and the top fighters from Root, then Kisame will be in danger.

These people have come out in full force; it would probably take a Six Paths level expert to deal with them.

This is the terrifying foundation of Konoha Village.

With that thought in mind, Kisame leaped down from the mountainside and quietly approached the outer perimeter of Konoha's main force, seizing an opportunity to capture a few prisoners.

From the prisoners, Kisame learned that:

This Konoha army was spearheaded by the Uchiha and Hyuga clans, with other ninja clans such as Sarutobi, Shimura, Yamanaka, Akimichi, and Nara also sending a considerable number of ninjas, forming a mixed force.

It is clear that the three legendary Sannin of Konoha and Minato Namikaze did not appear in the army, but remained in Konoha.

After all, Konoha had to be wary of Iwagakure, Kumogakure, and Sunagakure while attacking Kirigakure, so it was impossible for them to launch a full-scale attack.

And there's no need for that.

Anyone can see that Kirigakure is now extremely weak and on the verge of collapse.

Currently, Konoha's 5,000-strong ninja army is conquering and seizing territory at the front, while the Third Hokage, the Legendary Sannin of Konoha, and the recently renowned Yellow Flash are stationed at the rear in their homeland. Even if the other three major ninja villages were to unite, they wouldn't dare to cause trouble.

In this way, Konoha could easily conquer Kirigakure and then turn around to deal with the other ninja villages.

It must be said that Konoha's battle plan was flawless. The only thing the Konoha leadership overlooked was the variable of Kisame Hoshigaki.

He's got his hands on those five thousand people.

With that in mind, Kisame prepared to return to Kirigakure's homeland.

His plan was to lure the enemy deep into the country, and then make his move when Konoha's 5,000 troops were deep in the heart of the Land of Water, or even when they reached the gates of Kirigakure.

In that situation, Konoha's reinforcements couldn't arrive in a short time, making it the best opportunity for Kisame to make his move.

May these five thousand people never return.

Before that, we need to be patient for a few more days.

However, just as Kisame was about to turn and leave, he suddenly sensed the presence of the monster cells in a nearby forest.

Kisame's heart skipped a beat, and he rushed over.

He soon arrived at the forest and found it to be a Konoha patrol team that had encountered a Kirigakure reconnaissance team.

A fierce battle broke out between the two sides.

It's Matt Kai.

Bang bang bang.

In the forest, Might Guy, sporting a Saiyan-style afro, red skin, and wearing a green bodysuit, is fighting against several Hidden Mist ninja all by himself.

"What's wrong with this kid? He's so fast."

"His strength is also formidable, and his defense is astonishing; he's completely impervious to our ninjutsu attacks. Damn it, has he applied some kind of Earth Release hardening technique to his skin?"

The Hidden Mist ninjas were increasingly alarmed as the battle progressed. Despite using all their combined skills, they were still unable to defeat a single opponent.

Instead, Might Guy seized the opportunity and defeated them one by one.

"Drink!"
