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

after awhile.

"Lord Mizukage."

Hozuki Mangetsu, along with Terumi Mei and Ringo Ameyuri, ran out of the village to report the situation to Kisame.

After Kisame finished speaking in the conference room, representatives from several major clans immediately returned to their clan territories and led their clansmen to flee Kirigakure at breakneck speed. Now, the number of people remaining is half that of before.

There are fewer than a thousand ninja left in Kirigakure, which is even less than some smaller ninja villages.

Those who remained did not do so because they trusted Kisame, the temporary Mizukage, but because they were determined to live and die with the village.

"Go back and tell Master Yuan to have the remaining people stay in the village, guard the Water Shadow Building and other structures, and not to come out."

Kisame gave instructions to the three of them.

"And what about you?" Yuri looked up at Kisame and couldn't help but ask.

"Lord Mizukage, you wouldn't be thinking of..." Mei Terumi vaguely guessed something, but dared not believe it.

"Kisame, you..." Hozuki Mangetsu's mouth dropped open in shock.

"Go."

Kisame waved his hand and said nothing more.

……

The Land of Fire, Konoha Village.

The lobby of the intelligence department was bustling with activity.

This is the command post behind the battlefield. Several Jonin from the Yamanaka clan, wearing helmets, are constantly receiving intelligence from the front lines and then relaying the orders from the command post.

In the past few days, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, has been personally overseeing the command post and monitoring the situation on the front lines.

At this moment, besides him, several other high-ranking members of Konoha, including Danzo Shimura, Koharu Utatane, and Homura Mitokado, as well as Jiraiya and Orochimaru from the Legendary Sannin, were all here.

In the center of the hall was a huge screen displaying a battlefield map of the Land of Water. According to intelligence from the front lines, Konoha's army had captured town after town and was about to reach Kirigakure's homeland.

The outcome of this war is already decided.

After a while, Tsunade and Minato Namikaze also arrived in the hall.

"Kakashi is awake?"

Upon seeing the two, Jiraiya immediately went up to them and asked.

"She's awake. But..."

Tsunade nodded, frowning, and said, "Kakashi only remembers that he killed Nohara Rin with his own hands, but he knows nothing about anything else and has not been able to provide any valuable information."

She looked up at the big screen, her brows still furrowed: "Where's that bastard Kisame Hoshigaki? Any news about him?"

"Unfortunately, no."

Orochimaru chuckled and pointed at the map, saying to Tsunade, "You should be able to see that Kirigakure is about to be destroyed. Given Kisame's style, he must have betrayed Kirigakure and fled somewhere unknown."

His "interest" in Kisame was no less than that in Tsunade.

"hateful."

Upon hearing this, Tsunade clenched her fists. She vowed that she would capture Kisame and find her disciple Shizune sooner or later.

At this moment, more intelligence came back from the front lines.

"Lord Hokage, the vanguard of our army has arrived at Kirigakure." A mountain clansman reported to Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"The final battle has begun."

Hiruzen Sarutobi took a puff of his pipe, exhaled a smoke ring, and said leisurely.

The land of water, outside the village hidden in mist.

Amidst the thick fog, hundreds of Konoha ninjas moved swiftly, seemingly unaffected by the mist.

Because they are ninjas from the Hyuga clan.

Led by their clan leader Hiashi Hyuga, the Hyuga clan used their Byakugan to see through the fog formation outside Kirigakure and arrived at Kirigakure first, ahead of their rivals, the Uchiha clan.

The Hyuga clan and the Kaguya clan of Kirigakure have been on good terms for generations, and dating back a thousand years, the two clans even share a common ancestor.

Therefore, the two clans made contact several days ago and agreed that the Kaguya clan would launch a rebellion to cooperate with the Hyuga clan from within and without, and take over Kirigakure in one fell swoop.

After that, the Kaguya clan will surrender to Konoha.

In this way, the Hyuga clan can steal the limelight and gain the greatest credit in this world-renowned war.

However, plans can't keep up with changes.

"Stop."

Hiashi Hyuga made a gesture and gave a soft shout, signaling his clansmen to stop advancing.

"According to the agreement, the Kaguya clan should have sent someone here to wait for us," he muttered to himself, frowning.

"Could it be that their rebellion failed?" Hyuga Hizashi speculated.

Upon hearing this, Hiashi used his Byakugan to look at Kirigakure, which was hidden behind the thick fog.

The distant Mist Village was quiet, without a sound, but in Hiashi's Byakugan, the chakra of everyone in the village was completely exposed.

A rough count revealed only a few hundred people, far fewer than Hyuga Hiashi had anticipated.

Ok?

He suddenly noticed a solitary chakra at the village entrance, far removed from the other Hidden Mist ninja.

He was a lone person.

"Go and bring him back for interrogation," Hiashi instructed his younger brother.

"Yes."

Upon hearing this, Hyuga Hizashi immediately led several clansmen and quickly approached the village entrance.

Soon, they saw a tall man in a black suit, standing like an iron tower at the entrance of the village.

The man was holding a large, barbed knife in his hands, which was stuck in the ground in front of him.

Are they ninjas guarding the gate? They're certainly doing their duty.

Upon seeing this, Hizashi Hyuga immediately ordered his clansmen, "Go! Capture them alive!"

Whoosh whoosh.

Several Hyuga ninjas immediately rushed towards Kisame.

Has it finally arrived?

Kisame was not surprised to see the Hyuga ninja emerge from the mist, and picked up Samehada to meet him.

A battle immediately broke out between the two sides.

These Hyuga ninjas were highly trained and used the Hyuga clan's Gentle Fist technique to launch a coordinated attack on Kisame.

In their eyes, this big, clumsy guy was full of weaknesses; if he were hit by the Soft Fist, he would be paralyzed and become a prisoner.

However, to Hizashi Hyuga and the others' surprise, Kisame, who seemed clumsy, was actually unusually agile.

He easily dodged every attack from the Hyuga group, even those from behind, as if he also had Byakugan and a 360° field of vision.

With each counterattack, Kisame unleashes his Samehada sword with tremendous force, speed, and precision, ensuring a fatal blow to his enemy.

The situation is not good.

Hyuga Hizashi realized this when, apart from him, all the other Hyuga clan members had already been defeated by Kisame.

Swish.

Kisame swung his sword again, slashing Hyuga Hizashi.

As the scavenger was about to retreat, he felt numb all over and, in a dizzying moment, collapsed to the ground with a thud.

That's because Kisame coated Samehada with the poison of the salamander. The concentration of the poison wasn't high enough to be fatal, but it was enough to incapacitate someone.

Kisame used Samehada to lift Hyuga Hizashi back to the village entrance, then shot out chakra threads from his index finger, binding Hizashi and several other Hyuga clan members to a pillar at the village gate.

These Hyuga ninjas who came to capture prisoners ended up becoming his prisoners themselves.

Just as Kisame finished his work, a sharp shout came from behind him: "Let them go!"

Hiashi Hyuga led the remaining members of his clan out of the fog.

129. The Weak Hyuga Clan

Swish.

Hiashi Hyuga unleashed a powerful palm strike from a distance, releasing a high-intensity, high-density chakra shockwave that struck Kisame directly in the back.

Bagua Empty Palm.

This is a signature technique of the Hyuga clan. The released chakra shockwave is not only extremely powerful but also invisible to the naked eye. Once an enemy is hit, it's as if they've been struck by Gentle Fist from a distance, instantly incapacitating them.

However, what Hiashi Hyuga didn't expect was—

Even though Kisame had his back to him, it was as if he had grown white eyes, and he dodged the attack of Bagua Palm with a sidestep.

Hiashi's sneak attack not only failed to harm Kisame, but after Kisame dodged, it struck a Hyuga clansman who was tied to a pillar, causing him to vomit blood and die on the spot.

Kisame turned around, smiled slightly, quickly formed hand seals, then took a deep breath and exhaled.

Splash!

Wave after wave of water, like a flood, surged from Kisame's feet, quickly forming a three-story-high wave that lifted him up.

Water Escape·Explosive Water Shockwave.

The surging water forced hundreds of Hyuga clan members to retreat.

Kisame stood atop the wave, looking down at Hiashi Hyuga and the others below. To their astonishment, he took out the blue Mizukage hat and put it on his head.

"Let me introduce myself. I am Kisame Hoshigaki, the Fifth Mizukage of Kirigakure. Today, this place will be the burial ground of the Hyuga clan."

After saying these words, he swung Samehada forward, and the water beneath his feet surged forward, sweeping towards the Hyuga group with great force.
