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

"Because of Kisame Hoshigaki, I lost the woman I loved and had one of my eyes stolen. The two of you have also fallen to this state because of Kisame. Since the three of us have a common enemy, shouldn't we unite and take revenge on Kisame?"

After Obito finished telling his story, he finally revealed the reason why he came to find the two of them.

"To take revenge on Kisame?"

After Orochimaru stopped, he shook his head and said with a doubtful look, "Obito, you should also know that even if the three of us join forces, we probably are no match for Kisame Hoshigaki, right?"

"That's why I came to the Land of Rain to find the legendary owner of the Rinnegan, the red-haired boy named Nagato. Unfortunately, Kisame Hoshigaki ruined it all again."

Obito sighed and revealed the purpose of his trip.

Upon hearing Obito's explanation, Danzo realized that those eyes were called the Rinnegan. And the man who claimed to be Uchiha Madara was actually Kisame Hoshigaki.

Looking at Orochimaru's calm expression, it's likely he already knew this information.

When he realized that he was the only one kept in the dark and knew nothing, he became even angrier, and his face grew increasingly gloomy.

"The good news is that Kisame failed to control Nagato and steal the Rinnegan, which means we still have a chance."

Obito stood up, opened his arms, and once again extended an invitation to the two, "Therefore, I hope you two can cooperate with me. As long as we find Nagato and persuade him to join us, we can work together to develop and strengthen Akatsuki. In the future, not only can we take revenge on Kisame, but we can even destroy Konoha and Kirigakure, and ultimately unify the ninja world!"

This passionate speech failed to sway Orochimaru and Danzo. They were both cunning old foxes; how could they be swayed by Obito's empty promises?

Obito noticed this too, but luckily he was prepared and took out two test tubes from his sleeve, which contained bright green interstitial cell granulation tissue.

“I know you two have been studying interstitial cells, but I have better results that I can share with you free of charge.”

As he said this, he tossed two test tubes to Orochimaru and Danzo respectively.

Back then, Madara Uchiha bit off a piece of Hashirama Senju's flesh and awakened the Rinnegan. He then used the power of the Rinnegan to cultivate Hashirama's cells.

Madara's research on the interstitial cells is far superior to Orochimaru's.

As expected, Orochimaru was immediately captivated by Obito's gift. He stared intently at the granulation cells in the test tube, muttering to himself:

"Perfect, so perfect..."

Obito was pleased with their reaction, smiled again, and said to each of them separately:

"Orochimaru, if you cooperate with me, I can give you Hashirama's cells and research data on Wood Release. Danzo, I can help you take over Konoha and make you Hokage one day. And all I want is one thing—Kisame Hoshigaki's corpse."

Upon hearing this, the two exchanged a glance, and ultimately could not resist the temptation, agreeing to Obito's conditions.

The three of them thus embarked on the same boat.

But soon, Orochimaru raised a question regarding the current situation:

"Where do we go to find Nagato? Although the Land of Rain is not as big as the Five Great Nations, it is not a small place either. If the owner of the Rinnegan is determined to hide, we may never find him."

"We need more manpower."

谷諛

Danzo echoed this. Having been pampered for so long, he was used to being waited on hand and foot; it was impossible for him to run errands or find people.

"My plan is... to first unify the Land of Rain, and then mobilize all the power of this country to conduct a thorough search."

Obito made a surprising statement.

"How can we unify things, with just a few of us?"

Orochimaru shook his head, immediately rejecting Obito's idea, and warned, "Even if we could do it, it would inevitably attract the attention of Konoha and Kisame Hoshigaki in the process, and we would be doomed anyway."

Both he and Danzo agreed that Obito's plan was risky and naive.

"No, no, no, we don't need to take action. It's Sunagakure that's making the move."

Obito shook his finger and once again made a startling statement, "Rasa, the Fourth Kazekage of Sunagakure, will soon launch a war against Amegakure and annex the entire Land of Rain. Please follow me."

After saying these words with a mysterious expression, he turned and walked out of the cave.

Danzo and Orochimaru exchanged another glance, both seeing the astonishment on each other's faces. Coming to their senses, they hurriedly followed.

Three nights later.

Within the Land of Wind, in Sunagakure Village.

Dark clouds obscured the moon, and the village of Sunagakure was quiet under the pitch-black night sky, with sparse lights and most villagers fast asleep.

At the village entrance, two Chunin on guard duty yawned boredly.

Suddenly, with two loud thuds, the two men collapsed to the ground without warning. They had no wounds, but their eyes were glazed over, clearly under some kind of illusion.

Three figures dressed in black cloaks and wearing hoods emerged from the darkness.

"The lights in the Kazekage Building are still on. It seems that Rasa hasn't gone to sleep yet. He's a very diligent Kazekage."

One of them said jokingly, and then calmly broke through the outer barrier of Sunagakure. The three of them silently sneaked into the village and headed straight for the Kazekage Building.

Ten minutes later.

Inside the room, Luo Sha, with short brown hair, stood guard by the cradle, watching over the two sleeping children.

Temari, the eldest daughter who is one year old, and Kankuro, the eldest son who was just born.

The newly appointed Fourth Kazekage has already established a high level of prestige in the village thanks to his powerful strength and ruthless methods.

He, who is usually serious and rarely smiles, only shows his gentle side at times like this.

At that moment, a young woman with sandy brown hair walked in from outside the door and put her hand on Luo Sha's shoulder.

"You've had a long day and you must be exhausted. Go and get some rest. I can take care of the kids."

She spoke softly, a faint smile on her face, her eyes full of tenderness.

This woman was Karura, the wife of Rosa.

Upon hearing this, Luo Sha turned around, took his wife's hand, and said considerately, "I'm not tired, but you just gave birth and should rest well."

After saying that, he embraced Garuda.

"Wow, what a loving couple!"

Suddenly, a discordant voice came from the doorway, interrupting their tender moment.

Rasa was startled and quickly shielded Karura behind him, looking towards the door. Three figures walked in, removing their hoods to reveal three unfamiliar faces.

"Who are you? Guards!"

As Luo Sha questioned them, he called for the guards of the Fengying Building.

"No need to shout anymore, they've all fallen. Luo Sha, I want you to serve me."

Obito stepped forward, his gaze fixed intently on Rasa. His three-tomoe Sharingan instantly transformed into the shape of a Mangekyou Sharingan, releasing a powerful surge of ocular energy.

"You want me to pledge allegiance to you? Are you kidding me!"

Luo Sha sneered and immediately formed hand seals, preparing to use his bloodline limit Magnet Release to capture these three uninvited guests in one fell swoop.

But halfway through forming the hand seals, his hand movements stopped, and his eyes transformed into the shape of Sharingan, freezing him in place without moving.

"Luo Sha!"

Karura was horrified when she saw this. Just as she was about to make a move, she herself was also caught in an illusion and stood frozen in place.

Within seconds, the couple had become Obito's puppets.

"Luo Sha, what are you going to do next?"

Obito looked at the Fourth Kazekage before him and slowly asked.

"Launch a war and invade Amegakure," Rasa said with a smile, his ambition evident.

Orochimaru and Danzo exchanged bewildered glances upon witnessing this scene.

They witnessed Obito swaggering into Sunagakure, subduing all enemies along the way with genjutsu, and easily manipulating the Fourth Kazekage.

Is this the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan?

It's too ridiculous.

If they knew that both Mizukage of Kirigakure had been controlled by the Sharingan, they might not have been so surprised.

Of course, not every pair of kaleidoscopes has such strong pupil power.

Madara Uchiha used a transplanted, second-hand Sharingan, while Obito Uchiha only had one Mangekyou Sharingan. However, their ocular power was actually much stronger than that of Fugaku Uchiha, who possessed both Mangekyou Sharingans.

That's because both of them possessed the power of both the Senju and Uchiha clans, and combining these two abilities would produce incredible power.

Obito's eye power was strong enough to control the Nine-Tails, let alone the mere Kazekage Rasa.

Unfortunately, his illusions were ineffective against Kisame Hoshigaki, a monster who was almost inhuman. To defeat Kisame, the only option was to use even greater power to crush him head-on.

After controlling Rasa, Obito turned around and boasted to Orochimaru and Danzo:

"Now you understand my plan, right?"

As he spoke, the kaleidoscope emitted an eerie light, causing the two of them to avoid looking directly at him.

Seeing this, Obito sneered inwardly and reassured the two, "Don't worry, you are my allies, I will not use genjutsu to control you."

In reality, his eye power also has its limits, preventing him from controlling several Kage-level powerhouses simultaneously. Otherwise, he would have already subdued both of them.

Danzo didn't speak, but his eyes revealed a strong desire for Obito's Mangekyou Sharingan.

He couldn't help but fantasize that if he had obtained this eye sooner, he would have used a genjutsu on Hiruzen Sarutobi without hesitation, ordering the latter to hand over the Hokage position to him.

Orochimaru, like Danzo, also coveted the power of the Sharingan, but based on Obito's previous words and actions, he came to the conclusion that the Rinnegan's power was stronger than the Mangekyou Sharingan.

Thinking of this, Orochimaru became even more eager to obtain Nagato's body and eyes.

"Now, let's just wait and see what happens."

After giving Rasa the order to attack Amegakure, Obito said with anticipation.

For Obito now, war is just a game. He doesn't care how many people die. At worst, he can just revive them in the world of Infinite Tsukuyomi.

Without any moral burden, he can do any bad thing with a clear conscience, and has completely turned to the dark side.

152. Jiraiya, the Fourth Hokage

Inside Akatsuki's secret stronghold in the Land of Rain.

Yahiko's cold body lay in the coffin. On the bed beside him, Nagato had also fallen into a coma due to exhaustion of chakra, his entire body emaciated like a skeleton.
