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

Therefore, they had only one goal: to kill Kisame and wipe out Kirigakure to avenge the dead daimyo.

"There's really no other way."

Kisame shook his head; good words were useless against this damned demon. At this point, he had no choice but to unleash a massacre.

then--

With a whoosh.

Kisame moved like lightning, charging towards the enemy army at such a speed that it even created a sonic boom around its body.

Before the enemies could even register what was happening, Kisame had already charged into their ranks. His towering figure moved like a raging bull, leaving a trail of destruction in his wake.

Swish.

Kisame stretched out his hand, and the Ama no Kusanagi transformed into a bone sword, appearing from his palm. As he infused it with chakra, the bone sword instantly lengthened, thrusting forward over a hundred meters.

He killed over a hundred enemies in a single move.

And this is just the beginning.

Kisame gripped the sword hilt with both hands, used his left foot as a pivot, and spun his body 360 degrees, as if dancing in the crowd.

As he turned, the hundred-meter-long bone sword also spun around, sweeping across the enemy army.

The Kusanagi sword is the hardest and sharpest cold weapon in the world. No matter how strong the armor is, it is as brittle as tofu in front of it and cannot be broken.

Therefore, wherever this sword passed, countless soldiers frantically tried to defend themselves, but before they could react, they were cut in half at the waist by the blade, their bodies split in two.

Kisame circled around and stopped, then looked again—

Centered on him, the battlefield within a radius of 100 meters was littered with enemy corpses, none of which were intact, and the blood stained the entire earth red.

This scene was nothing short of hell on earth, deeply shocking everyone on the battlefield.

Kisame's massacre is not over yet.

Looking down from mid-air, he gripped his hundred-meter-long bone sword and plunged deep into the enemy ranks. With each sweep, countless wails and screams echoed where the sword light passed, claiming the lives of hundreds.

Just a few minutes later, Kisame annihilated the enemy's most elite force of 10,000 men.

However, Kisame still felt that killing like this was too slow, so he simply put away his bone sword, formed hand seals, and slammed his palm into the ground.

Rumble.

Amidst a deafening roar that shook the earth, a large tree grew vigorously on the battlefield, eventually transforming into a wooden Arhat statue a hundred meters tall under the horrified gaze of all the enemies.

Wood Release Sage Art: Wood Man Technique.

Kisame spread his wings, soared into the sky, and landed in the space above the wooden figure's head.

Under his control, the wooden figure charged towards the enemy army, and the wooden dragon on its arm roared and flew out, launching a merciless trampling and slaughter on the army on the ground, which was like ants.

"What...is that?"

"Are you kidding me? Is this a power that humans can control?"

Behind the battlefield, soldiers who had not participated in the fighting watched helplessly as their comrades were slaughtered, but they could do nothing but look up and stare blankly at the wooden Arhat statue.

Many people have never seen such a magnificent power in their entire lives, and their hearts are deeply shaken.

Clang. Clang.

Many people instinctively dropped their weapons, completely lacking the will to resist, and turned to flee.

The army of the Water Kingdom was routed.

At this moment, the wooden Arhat suddenly stopped moving, ceased its killing, and stood still on the battlefield.

Kisame leaped onto the wooden doll's head, looking down at the scattered army of the Land of Water on the ground, and once again used chakra amplification to transmit his voice.

"I am Kisame Hoshigaki, the Mizukage, a demigod of the ninja world, and the sage of Shikkotsu Forest! From this day forward, I will rule this country, and the sage's glory will shine upon every corner of the Land of Water."

These words not only reached the army on the ground, but also the capital city not far away.

At this moment, millions of ordinary people in the capital came to the streets, looking up at the hundred-meter-tall wooden Arhat and the Kisame on its head as if they were worshipping a god.

On the battlefield, the soldiers no longer fled. The survivors, faced with Kisame's unparalleled power, all knelt down and submitted to this immortal.

For over a thousand years, the ninjas, soldiers, and civilians of the Land of Water have worshipped the daimyo, who are blessed with bloodlines and titles, and their class consciousness is deeply ingrained.

But today, the shackles in people's hearts have been broken by Kisame in the simplest and most brutal way.

The hundred-meter-tall wooden Arhat statue on the battlefield is telling everyone: compared to immortals with the power to destroy the world, so-called fame is nothing.

……

The news that Kisame killed the daimyo of the Land of Water and announced that he would take over the country as a sage quickly spread like wildfire throughout the entire ninja world.

Hidden Mist Village.

"Lord Mizukage... he really did it."

Master Yuan murmured.

Anyone who has witnessed Kisame's power has no doubt that he could single-handedly wipe out the daimyo's prefecture. However, when Kisame actually killed the daimyo and announced that the ninja would take over the country, the people of Kirigakure were still shocked like never before.

From this day forward, they will no longer be the daimyo's lackeys, but the masters of this country.

"Hahaha, get ready for a big battle!"

Hozuki Mangetsu was excitedly waving his arms and legs, eager to cause some trouble.

Mei Terumi, standing to the side, also looked on with anticipation. She had once been filled with worries about the future of Blood Mist Village and this country, but now, those worries had disappeared, replaced by hope.

Under Kisame's leadership, Kirigakure and the Land of Water will surely emerge from their slump and be reborn.

The Land of Fire, Konoha Village.

The Hokage's office.

"Kisame Hoshigaki, he really is a madman. He actually killed the daimyo of the Land of Water..."

Jiraiya sat in the chair, looking quite emotional.

Neither he, the Hokage, nor the other ninjas of Konoha, nor even the legendary ninja god Hashirama Senju, ever considered overthrowing the daimyo's rule.

Until Kisame appeared, the world order that had lasted for over a thousand years was shattered.

However, what Jiraiya cared about even more was the title "Sage Kisame".

He picked up two portraits from his desk: one a towering wooden Arhat, and the other a Kisame with a celestial face.

"Did he get the chance to enter Shikkotsu Forest through Tsunade and learn the Sage Mode there?"

Jiraiya murmured to himself, finally realizing that Kisame's reason for kidnapping Tsunade from Konoha was far more complex than simply coveting her beauty or establishing a medical ninja system for Kirigakure.

It's for the sake of immortal arts.

Moreover, somehow he managed to persuade Tsunade to meet the Slug Sage. What shocked Jiraiya even more was that Kisame had learned Sage Mode in less than a month.

This terrifying talent made Jiraiya, who spent ten years learning Sage Mode, feel incredibly ashamed.

Previously, only Hashirama Senju had mastered the Sage Mode of Shikkotsu Forest.

Now there's another one, Kisame Hoshigaki.

Perhaps Kisame's newly acquired title of "Demigod of the Shinobi World" will have to be changed again. The current Kisame is probably not much different from the former God of Shinobi.

Thinking of this, Jiraiya's expression grew even more solemn.

The Land of Rain, the Village of Rain Ninja.

In a conference room, Obito, Zetsu, Rasa who was controlled by genjutsu, Orochimaru, Danzo, Nagato, Konan, and Yahiko who was resurrected by Edo Tensei, a group of people gathered together.

It appears that the Akatsuki organization ultimately joined forces with Obito and the others, forming a temporary alliance.

"Kisame Hoshigaki's power has become even stronger. With the enhancement of Sage Mode, he has become a powerhouse on par with Hashirama Senju. Now, he can be said to be truly invincible in the ninja world."

Orochimaru slowly recounted his story, expressing his heartfelt emotions.

Upon hearing this, Danzo only caught the words "Sage Art," and a glint flashed in his eyes. He then addressed the crowd in a deep voice:

"Of the three great holy lands now, Mount Myōboku and Konoha have formed an alliance, Shikkotsu Forest is controlled by Kirigakure, and both the Hokage Jiraiya and the Mizukage Kisame have mastered Sage Mode. This is very disadvantageous for us."

At this point, he turned his head and stared intently at Orochimaru:

"Orochimaru, didn't you sign a contract with Ryuchi Cave? You should introduce us to the White Snake Sage there so that everyone has a chance to learn Ryuchi Cave's Sage Techniques. Only in this way can we contend with Konoha and Kirigakure."

Upon hearing this, Obito, Nagato, and the others couldn't help but show signs of interest.

165. Isolated Island

Immortal arts are undoubtedly a very powerful force.

At least for now, Jiraiya in Sage Mode is the only one on the battlefield who can hold his own against Kisame Hoshigaki.

Now, after experiencing the power of Sage Mode, Kisame has also learned Sage Art, and even the same Sage Mode as the First Hokage.

This caused Obito and the others to feel a strong sense of anxiety and crisis.

In order not to fall behind, we have to roll it up.

Therefore, Danzo, Obito, and Nagato all turned their attention to Orochimaru at this moment, since the latter was essentially the representative of Ryuchi Cave in the ninja world.

"You want to learn immortal arts? Of course you can."

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Orochimaru flashed a hearty smile and opened his arms to warmly welcome them. "After entering Ryuchi Cave, as long as you pass three trials, you will be able to meet the White Snake Sage and learn Sage Techniques from him. Those trials are not difficult, and I can reveal them to you in advance."

Oh?

Hearing Orochimaru say this, Obito was somewhat surprised, and then asked the man with some skepticism, "Since the test was so simple, why didn't you learn Sage Mode?"

Upon hearing this, Orochimaru shook his head and said helplessly, "My body has encountered some minor problems, making it unable to support my training in Sage Mode, so... I'm sorry."

The minor problem he mentioned was actually due to the damage he had done to his body by researching forbidden techniques such as the Reanimation Jutsu and the Eight-Headed Serpent Technique.

As he said these words, Orochimaru glanced at Nagato, a fleeting glint of greed in his golden snake eyes.

In his view, among the people present, Danzo and Obito had virtually no chance of learning Sage Mode, but Nagato would have a much higher chance of success.

If he could obtain Nagato's body and Rinnegan, and also learn the Sage Mode of Ryuchi Cave, what a wonderful thing that would be! At that time, the dream of immortality would probably no longer be just a fantasy.

Thinking of this, Orochimaru became even more enthusiastic, trying his best to persuade everyone to go with him to Ryuchi Cave to pay homage to the White Snake Sage.
