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

Tsunade, who didn't have time to escape, naturally became the unfortunate subject of Kisame's test of the power of Wood Release.

then--

Shhhhhh.

Under his control, a large number of trees rushed towards Tsunade, creating a trap for her.

Tsunade looked grave as she dodged and weaved through the woods, trying to escape, while unleashing her monstrous strength, snapping many trees in half with a series of loud bangs.

However, the nature of Wood Release is its endless cycle of life. The trees that Tsunade broke, supported by Kisame's chakra, instantly returned to life, even growing more vigorously.

They swarmed in, gradually cornering her.

In the end, as expected, Tsunade was subdued by Wood Release. She was lifted off the ground in a "T" shape, with her hands and feet firmly bound by trees, unable to move.

"Tsk tsk..."

Kisame slowly approached Tsunade, stroking his chin as he admired her beautiful figure.

As he evolved, although he gradually detached himself from the realm of human life and lost most of his interest in women, he still had to admit—

When he saw Tsunade's incredibly impressive figure, he still felt a certain instinctive urge.

"Bastard, let me go!"

Tsunade was both ashamed and angry, and shouted at Kisame, but the more she struggled, the tighter the trees entangled her.

"How about we make a deal?"

Kisame stretched out a hand, lifted Tsunade's chin, and tempted her with a devilish whisper, "You've personally experienced the power of Wood Release. It's your grandfather's formidable power. Don't you want to possess it? If you agree to take me to Shikkotsu Forest and persuade the Slug Sage to teach me Sage Mode, I'll give you a plant with Hashirama cells. How about it?"

For Tsunade, this was indeed a very tempting offer.

She has the bloodline of Hashirama Senju flowing through her veins, so if Hashirama's cells are transplanted, the success rate is much higher than for others.

Moreover, only Tsunade, being a member of the Senju clan, can truly unleash the power of Wood Release, and may even have the potential to become a second Hashirama Senju.

谷氱

however.

"Kisame Hoshigaki...you don't need to waste your energy anymore, I will not grant you any of your requests."

Tsunade stared intently at Kisame and spoke each word carefully.

Despite the temptation, her attitude remained firm and unwavering.

Kisame had anticipated Tsunade's response.

"I love women like you, strong-willed and unruly like a wild horse. That's what makes conquering you interesting."

He looked Tsunade up and down with interest, a wicked smile spreading across his face, before changing the subject, "However, I don't have time to tame you right now. So, I'll have to ask you to sleep for a while. In the meantime, think carefully about my suggestion."

As soon as he finished speaking, he placed his hand on Tsunade's shoulder and, with a gasp from her, sucked her into the Box of Elysium.

A moment later, Kisame emerged from the forest.

This is the western border of the Land of Fire. Looking west, the sky in the distance is covered with dark clouds, as if a downpour could fall at any moment.

That's the territory of the Land of Rain.

Yes, Kisame decided to go to Amegakure first.

Because there, there is an organization called Akatsuki. In that organization, there is a boy named Nagato. He possesses the only pair of Rinnegan in the entire ninja world.

Those eyes were secretly transplanted into Nagato's body by Madara Uchiha when Nagato was young.

Behind Madara, the person who secretly influenced Madara's various actions was the biggest mastermind in the ninja world—Black Zetsu.

For over a thousand years, Black Zetsu has repeatedly instigated duels between the reincarnations of Indra and Asura, inciting and causing countless wars and deaths.

All of this was planned to induce the Rinnegan, and then use those eyes to revive Kaguya Otsutsuki.

It can be said that from this point onward, almost all the major plot points of Naruto were related to these Rinnegan.

Now that Kisame has killed Hanzo, the leader of Amegakure, this news will inevitably cause turmoil once it reaches the Land of Rain. Nagato's Akatsuki organization will certainly be drawn into the internal strife within Amegakure as well.

In the original storyline, the newly formed Akatsuki organization was attacked by a joint attack from Hanzo and Danzo of Konoha, which ultimately led to the death of its leader, Yahiko.

Nagato then turned to the dark side, using the power of the Rinnegan to create the Six Paths of Pain, and killed Danzo, becoming the new ruler of Amegakure.

After that, Nagato joined forces with Obito, who was disguised as Madara Uchiha, to further expand the Akatsuki organization and launch a plan to capture the Tailed Beasts.

The situation has changed.

Kisame's plan was to get in touch with the Akatsuki organization before Obito Uchiha could, and get close to Nagato, who possessed the Rinnegan.

He did not intend to directly steal the Rinnegan for his own use, because even for Kisame, these eyes were a great burden.

The best solution is to let Nagato continue acting as a human battery to sustain the Rinnegan and the Gedo Mazo. Kisame, on the other hand, can indirectly control the power of the Rinnegan by manipulating Nagato.

We'll harvest the peaches when the time is right.

With that in mind, he immediately took action.

"Oh!"

Kisame formed a hand seal, and as the "transformation" shaped mark on his right shoulder was activated, his height and size shrank dramatically, transforming him into a completely different person.

Next, he removed his dead fish eyes and replaced them with Obito's Sharingan and Hyuga Byakugan, and used Wood Release to create an orange vortex-shaped mask, which he then wore on his face.

The mask only revealed Kisame's left eye, and it looked very similar to Obito impersonating Madara in the original work.

Finally, Kisame sheathed his greatsword Samehada, took out the Uchiha clan's Flame Fan from the Box of Paradise, and carried it on his back.

He was more professional at impersonating Uchiha Madara than Obito.

Whoosh.

Kisame vanished into the distance in a few swift movements, disappearing into the Land of Rain.

147. The Akatsuki Organization That Was Targeted

Somewhere in the Land of Rain, at the Akatsuki base.

Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan stood side by side at the foot of a rock wall, looking up at the rain pouring down outside.

Akatsuki was a newly emerging force that rose rapidly within the Land of Rain during the Third Shinobi World War.

Its purpose was to play a coordinating role in wars between major powers, striving to create peace with minimal casualties through communication and dialogue, rather than relying on force and power.

The members of Xiao are a group of naive idealists.

Since its founding, under the leadership of its chief Yahiko, Akatsuki has been active throughout the Land of Rain, lobbying, mediating, resolving disputes, promoting its ideals, and constantly recruiting new members.

Now, Xiao's number of members has reached thirty.

Just then, the world outside suddenly changed.

The Shinobi World War, which was originally expected to last for several years, ended in an unexpected way.

That man named Kisame Hoshigaki single-handedly broke through Konoha, forcing the Hokage to surrender and sign a surrender pact. Even the other major ninja villages were intimidated by Kisame's strength and dared not act rashly again, and they all stood up to advocate for peace.

Under the intimidation of this new demigod of the ninja world, peace unexpectedly arrived.

However, the so-called peace is peace between major powers.

In a small country like the Land of Rain, the death of Hanzo the Salamander, the leader of the Rain Village, plunged the entire village into even greater chaos.

As the leader of Akatsuki, Yahiko has always regarded Hanzo as his goal and role model, hoping to one day become as powerful as the latter, so that he would have enough strength to build a bridge of hope to world peace.

But now, Hanzo is dead.

"I never imagined that even a demigod would fall. Just what kind of being was the ninja capable of killing Hanzo the Salamander?"

Yahiko gazed at the dense rain and murmured to himself.

"I heard that Kisame Hoshigaki was only fourteen years old, almost the same age as us, and had already become the Mizukage of Kirigakure. In this war, he killed nearly five thousand Konoha ninja and destroyed most of the buildings in Konoha, causing the usually arrogant Konoha to feel unprecedented pain, which is why they had no choice but to surrender."

Konan recounted all the information she had gathered about Kisame. She couldn't help but feel intense curiosity about this new demigod of the ninja world, whom she had never met before.

"It's hard to imagine that someone our age could be this strong. I originally thought Nagato was a one-of-a-kind genius, but now it seems there are always people stronger than him."

Yahiko exclaimed in surprise, glancing at Nagato beside him.

"I really want to see Kisame Hoshigaki in person and see what he looks like."

Nagato said softly, an incredulous look appearing in his Rinnegan eyes.

He was born with eyes like the legendary Sage of Six Paths, and is a descendant of the Uzumaki clan, possessing a vast amount of chakra within him.

Under Jiraiya's tutelage, Nagato mastered six chakra nature transformations by the age of ten, enabling him to use almost all mainstream ninjutsu.

Jiraiya once said that Nagato was a genius he had never seen before, a prophetic child destined to change the world, and that no one of his age could catch up with Nagato.

Faced with his teacher's praise, Nagato appeared shy and humble, but he gradually realized that he was indeed the unparalleled genius that Jiraiya had described.

It wasn't until today, when Nagato heard the name Kisame Hoshigaki, that he realized for the first time that there was someone in this world even more powerful than him.

"Yahiko, Nagato, what should we do next?"

At this moment, Xiao Nan asked her two companions.

Upon hearing this, Nagato, unusually competitive, volunteered, "Let's unify Amegakure and end the war in the Land of Rain! What Kisame Hoshigaki could do, we can definitely do too!"

Throughout Akatsuki's advocacy of peace and resistance to violence, Nagato has intentionally suppressed his abilities and has never had the opportunity to unleash them at full power.

If he were to reveal the true power of the Rinnegan, Yahiko and Konan would be greatly surprised.

However, as soon as Nagato made his suggestion, Yahiko shook his head and rejected it.

"Nagato, have you forgotten the original intention of us creating Akatsuki? Kisame Hoshigaki killed too many people and destroyed the entire Hidden Leaf Village. His actions were too cruel and too radical. Even if he temporarily brought so-called peace through force, in the long run, he sowed more seeds of hatred."

Yahiko frowned as he spoke, clearly disapproving of Kisame's actions.

“I was wrong…” Nagato’s expression changed, realizing he had said the wrong thing.

Seeing this, Yahiko gave Nagato a bright smile, stepped forward, put his arm around Nagato's shoulder, and solemnly said to the latter:

"Nagato, we must restrain our use of force and try our best to communicate with other forces through peaceful negotiations in order to end the war in this country. Only in this way can we bring true peace to Amegakure and even the entire ninja world."

"Ok!"

Nagato nodded heavily.
