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

Obito? Uchiha Obito?!

Upon hearing this name, Orochimaru immediately pictured a lively and energetic boy wearing goggles in his mind.

However, as far as he knew, the boy had already died in the war.

Obito smiled in response to Kisame's questioning.

After he finished laughing, he spread his hands, stared at Kisame, and said, "I admit, I'm not Uchiha Madara, but neither are you. Because your real name is... Hoshigaki Kisame!"

These words shocked everyone present.

Kisame Hoshigaki, the Fifth Mizukage who destroyed the entire Hidden Leaf Village and made countless Hidden Leaf ninjas bow down.

Not long ago, Yahiko and his two friends were discussing Kisame and were very curious about this peer. Little did they expect that he would disguise himself as Madara Uchiha to approach them.

Orochimaru was utterly astonished.

Like Danzo, he was confused and didn't know who was telling the truth and who was lying.

Kisame, of course, would not admit his identity.

He shook his head and said to Obito, "Kid, you've mistaken me for someone else. Kisame Hoshigaki is tall, handsome, wise, and powerful. He's a god-like ninja who surpasses even Hashirama Senju. Compared to such a rising star, my era as an old man has passed. Sigh."

He sighed, feigning a sentimental expression.

Upon hearing this, Obito became even more convinced that this bastard was Kisame Hoshigaki, and there was no other person who could be him.

Just then.

"Nagato, Konan, get away from that man!"

Yahiko, who was being held hostage by Orochimaru, suddenly shouted to his two companions, "Don't trust any of these Uchiha Madaras, because they're all after Nagato's Rinnegan! Nagato, Jiraiya once said that you have eyes like the Sage of Six Paths, that you are the chosen one, destined to become the savior of this world. You can't die here! Activate the Rinnegan and take Konan away!"

Upon hearing this, Konan immediately followed Yahiko's instructions and pulled Nagato away from Kisame.

Then, she looked at Yahiko with a worried expression: "And what about you?"

“We will not abandon you, Yahiko!” Nagato shouted as well.

"Don't worry about me, Nagato. You must live on with Konan. The future of Akatsuki... is in your hands."

Yahiko smiled, gave his companion a few words of advice, and before he finished speaking, he suddenly became fierce and charged at the kunai pressed against his neck.

With a soft thud, blood splattered everywhere.

Yahiko's neck was stained red with blood, and he collapsed to the ground with a thud, committing suicide.

He chose to use his own death to free his companions.

"No!"

Upon witnessing this scene, Nagato's eyes widened in fury, and he erupted once more.

He immediately disregarded everything and summoned the Outer Path Demon Statue once again, then leaped onto the statue's shoulder with Konan.

"Roar!"

The golem let out a roar, creating a powerful gust of wind that enveloped everyone present.

Orochimaru's expression changed. He was directly responsible for Yahiko's death, and he would definitely be Nagato's primary target for revenge.

So he immediately bit his finger and used his blood to perform a reverse spirit communication spell. With a "bang," he disappeared and fled to Dragon Land Cave.

Seeing Orochimaru escape right under his nose, Nagato became even more enraged. He manipulated the Gedo Mazo to raise its massive fist and smash it down on Obito.

Obito was very unhappy.

He had prepared a long speech, intending to use Madara Uchiha's identity to persuade Nagato to serve him. But before he could utter a single word, Kisame ruined it all.

He stood still, using his intangibility ability again to dodge the golem's attack.

However, at that moment, Obito met Nagato's eyes, and the invisible pressure emanating from Nagato's Rinnegan made him feel a strange sense of unease.

The Rinnegan is, after all, the ultimate evolution of the Mangekyou Sharingan.

Obito understood perfectly well that no matter how powerful his Mangekyou Sharingan was, it was still no match for the Rinnegan, especially since he only had one eye.

Furthermore, Kisame was watching him closely, and could attack him at any moment.

Thinking of this, Obito had the idea of ​​retreating. His body twisted and he immediately escaped into the Kamui dimension.

With Obito's Earth Release technique gone, Kisame was the only outsider left in the area.

Nagato stood on the golem's shoulder and glanced coldly at Kisame. Considering that the latter had saved them before, he refrained from attacking him.

"Listen, whether you're the so-called Uchiha Madara or Kisame Hoshigaki, stay away from us. Otherwise, I will definitely kill you."

After saying this, he manipulated the golem to grab Yahiko's corpse from the ground, then formed a hand seal, and with a "bang," he and the golem disappeared, their whereabouts unknown.

In the blink of an eye, only Kisame remained, standing alone in the rain. Apart from him, there were corpses scattered everywhere.

Kisame hadn't expected things to end this way.

Although his plan to get close to Nagato failed, it wasn't a wasted trip, as he obtained the Ame-no-Murakumo sword and Yamato, a genius in Wood Release.

That's a pretty good result.

After being frightened today, Nagato will definitely use the power of the Rinnegan to hide completely. During this time, I'm afraid no one will be able to find him and Konan.

Kisame realized that there was no need to stay in the Land of Rain any longer.

So he put away his flaming fan, and a pair of black wings slowly unfurled from his back. As he became more and more proficient with his abilities, he was able to partially enter the Enlightenment Form.

call out.

Kisame soared into the sky and quickly disappeared into the vast rain curtain on the horizon.

151. Obito, Danzo, and Orochimaru

Deep in the mountains of the Land of Rain, the rain falls incessantly.

Danzo fled all the way here and hid in a cave, his face still showing signs of shock.

Not long ago, he was the Hokage's assistant in Konoha, a figure second only to the Hokage. But now, not only has he become a rogue ninja, but all his subordinates are dead, and the wealth he has painstakingly accumulated over the years has vanished in an instant.

Danzo deeply understood what it meant to be at the end of one's rope.

Why, why is this happening?

Thinking of this, he picked up his cane and slammed it hard on the ground, clenching his fist so that the veins on the back of his hand bulged.

Just as Danzo was raging in a fit of impotence here.

sizzle.

With a hissing sound, a white snake slithered into the cave and then, with a "pop," transformed into Orochimaru.

"Hah..." Orochimaru leaned against the wall, panting. His face was even paler than usual, and he looked extremely weak.

Although he was the leader of the Legendary Sannin, he was no match for enemies like Nagato with the Rinnegan, Kisame Hoshigaki, and Obito, and became the weakest among the weak.

It's lucky that we survived.

However, before Orochimaru could even catch his breath, Danzo, his face contorted with rage and his eyes dark with anger, demanded:

"Orochimaru, didn't you say that Jiraiya's disciples were only average? What's the deal with that red-haired boy? How much about his eyes have you been hiding from me?"

Danzo believed that Orochimaru's intelligence was incorrect, which led to their lack of preparation and resulted in their complete annihilation by the enemy.

"Don't forget, it was you who suggested coming to the Land of Rain, and it was also your idea to attack the Akatsuki."

Orochimaru said coldly, showing no politeness whatsoever to Danzo, his former superior.

At that moment, the two squinted and stared at each other, the atmosphere in the cave was extremely cold.

Danzo and Orochimaru, these two treacherous bastards, are now at their wits' end, shifting blame onto each other, and it seems they are not far from breaking up.

Just at this time.

"Hey hey, do you need any help?"

A sleazy voice suddenly rang out in the cave.

"Who's there?!" Danzo and Orochimaru tensed up at the same time, scanning their surroundings.

Amidst their astonished and uncertain gazes, Zetsu, with a pitcher plant-shaped ornament on its head, emerged from the ground.

Were you being followed?

Upon seeing Zetsu, Danzo did not immediately attack. Instead, he asked in a deep voice, "Who are you, and what do you want?"

"We are Avengers just like you."

Another voice came from outside the cave. Orochimaru and Danzo looked in the direction of the sound and immediately saw Obito's figure appear at the cave entrance.

Obito spread his hands, walked to the opposite side of Orochimaru, then removed his mask and greeted the latter with a smile:

"Lord Orochimaru, hello."

"It really is you, Uchiha Obito. You're still alive."

After Orochimaru saw the other person's face clearly, his pupils contracted and his expression turned to surprise.

Obito?

Danzo looked at the name again after hearing it, and his face showed surprise.

During his time in charge of Root, he frequently poached people from various clans in Konoha, and he still remembered Obito, who ranked second in the Chunin Exams.

However, Obito's sunny and lively personality led Danzo to believe that he lacked the "dark aptitude" and was unsuitable for Root, so he did not make contact with him.

In retrospect, his judgment was wrong...

From Orochimaru, Danzo learned that Obito was supposed to be dead, but he was alive and well here. What was going on?

"Please be patient, both of you, and let me explain slowly."

Obito noticed the confusion in their eyes, so he walked over to a nearby rock, sat down, crossed his legs, and slowly began to tell his story.

Of course, it's a story that has been adapted, and it's partly true and partly false.

Obito concealed Madara Uchiha's existence, only saying that he miraculously survived the battlefield and awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, as well as his feud with Kisame Hoshigaki.
