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

This is Matt Dai's arm.

Minato picked up the severed arm, examined it carefully, stood there thinking for a while, and finally understood why he had come here.

It's Orochimaru's Mangekyou Sharingan.

That eye is connected to this alternate dimension. It can use its pupil power to open a passage in the real world and send in objects or people from outside.

"Do you want to trap me here to die?" Minato murmured.

He didn't immediately use Flying Thunder God Technique to escape because he wanted to investigate the situation here. Now that he hadn't found anything of value, it was time to leave.

Thinking of this, Minato Namikaze closed his eyes and tried to sense the Flying Thunder God Technique formula he had left in the outside world.

His Flying Thunder God Technique was an improvement upon the Second Hokage's version, greatly increasing the teleportation distance. During the Third Shinobi World War, he traveled from Konoha to Kirigakure in less than ten minutes to provide support.

It can be said that for Minato Namikaze, any place in the ninja world was like visiting a neighbor's house; he could easily reach it at any time.

But this time, he quickly discovered that his invincible Flying Thunder God Technique had failed.

The reason is that he cannot sense the existence of the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Is it isolated by this space?

Minato frowned.

The chakra contained within the technique is like a coordinate. With coordinates, he can use the Flying Thunder God Technique for teleportation.

It seems he underestimated the difficulty of escaping from here.

Fortunately, Minato had some rations and water with him, enough to last him for a while. Until then, he had to find a way to escape and leave this place.

Let's thoroughly search this place first and see if we can find any clues.

Minato finalized his plan and immediately began to act. With a whoosh, he leaped onto a towering cube, gazed into the distance, and then headed into the depths of the Kamui Space.

Every now and then, he would stop, close his eyes, and touch the ground with two fingers to perceive the surrounding environment over a wide area.

A few hours later.

Minato tried to sense things again, expecting to find nothing as before, but a pleasant surprise awaited him.

someone.

In his perception, two faint chakras emanated from three kilometers away in the ten o'clock direction, and they were stationary, as if two people were resting there.

Minato's eyes lit up, and he immediately rushed in that direction.

A few minutes later.

Minato Namikaze concealed his presence and located his target. At a glance, he saw a man and a woman bound to a stone pillar, their heads bowed, looking extremely weak.

"They are..."

Minato noticed that both of them were wearing Akatsuki uniforms, and the woman had blue hair while the man had orange hair, which immediately brought two names to mind.

Konan and Yahiko.

Both of them were Nagato's partners, founders of the Akatsuki organization, and former students of Jiraiya.

Upon discovering the two, Minato was very cautious and did not reveal himself immediately, but instead quickly thought things through in his mind.

Were they imprisoned in this place by Orochimaru?

Did Orochimaru use this method to coerce Nagato into joining their camp?

What puzzled Minato the most was why Orochimaru had disappeared and hadn't come to this space. If he had rescued Yahiko and Konan from here, wouldn't Orochimaru have lost everything?

Troubled by numerous questions, Minato finally decided to save the two people in front of him first and ask them for clarification.

Thinking of this, he emerged from the shadows and came before the two of them.

Huh?

Upon closer inspection, it became clear that both Yahiko and Konan had their hands and feet pierced by black rods, pinning them to the pillars. These black rods seemed capable of sealing chakra within the body, which explained why Yahiko and Konan were unable to struggle.

The two noticed Minato's arrival and looked up at him with surprise and suspicion.

They had assumed the visitor was Obito, but it turned out to be a complete stranger they had never seen before. The most striking features of this man, besides his eye-catching blond hair, were the Konoha ninja headband he wore on his forehead.

As the two looked on in surprise, Minato, observing them, spoke first and asked:

"Were you also attacked by Orochimaru and imprisoned in this space by his eye technique?"

Orochimaru?

Upon hearing this, the two exchanged a glance, and finally Nagato spoke, asking warily:

"who are you?"

"I almost forgot to introduce myself."

Minato flashed a bright smile, trying his best to reassure the two, "Don't be afraid. I am Minato Namikaze, a Jonin of Konoha. Like you, I am a student of Jiraiya-sensei. Yahiko, Konan, I haven't mistaken you for someone else, have I?"

As soon as he finished speaking, both Yahiko and Konan were stunned.

Is this person in front of me the famous Yellow Flash of Konoha who is renowned throughout the ninja world?

Minato Namikaze's name was second only to top-tier powerhouses like Kisame Hoshigaki and Jiraiya. Yahiko and Konan had long heard of him, but they never expected to meet him in person here.

Yahiko noticed the three-pronged kunai at Minato's waist, and combined with the other man's appearance, he believed Minato's words to a great extent.

Finally, he spoke:

"We were waiting for Nagato outside Ryuchi Cave when Obito Uchiha attacked us with his eye technique and then imprisoned us in this space."

Obito?

Upon hearing this name from Yahiko, Minato was greatly surprised this time, his mouth agape, unable to recover for a long time.

What is going on here?

At this moment, Konan, seeing that Minato was silent and wondering what he was thinking, took the initiative to add:

"We were forced to cooperate with Obito and the others because they threatened us. Nagato is currently in Ryuchi Cave and must be in danger as well, since that's Orochimaru's territory, and he might be plotting against Nagato."

After hearing what Minato said, Minato felt even more confused.

Forget about that for now, saving lives is the priority.

He glanced around, his brow furrowed, his expression grave, and quickly asked the two, "Where are Obito's men?"

Minato learned from them that Obito was not here most of the time, only occasionally returning to check on the two of them.

Upon receiving this information, Minato did not hesitate and immediately helped the two remove the black rods stuck in their bodies, freeing them.

"No matter what, I'll get you out of this hellhole first. Follow me."

He gave the two of them some instructions and then walked ahead.

"Yahiko, should we follow him?" Konan looked at Yahiko and asked softly.

Yahiko was much more awake than usual. The most direct reason was that Orochimaru, the caster of the Impure World Reincarnation technique, was already unconscious in Kisame's Paradise Box and was no longer able to suppress Yahiko's consciousness.

"It's better to trust Konoha than to trust Obito. If Minato Namikaze can really get us out of here, Obito will lose his leverage against Nagato."

Yahiko watched Minato's retreating figure and spoke slowly.

So the two of them quickly followed.

Some time passed.

"It seems this is the edge of the Divine Might Space."

Minato Namikaze reached out and touched an invisible spacetime barrier, causing ripples to spread across it. This was the point where the Kamui dimension connected to the real world, the weakest point of the spatial barrier.

Have it.

Minato successfully sensed the Flying Thunder God Technique formula he left in Amegakure.

"Are you ready?" He turned to look at Yahiko and Konan.

The two nodded in unison and said at the same time, "We're counting on you, Minato-senpai."

"Oh!"

Minato formed a hand seal, creating a shadow clone that remained in the area. Then, his main body walked between the two and placed his hands on their shoulders.

With a whoosh, the three of them vanished from their spot.

Meanwhile, Minato's shadow clone flashed his eyes and returned to the place where he had rescued the two earlier, where he lay in ambush.

Minato wanted to talk to Obito in person.

……

Longdi Cave.

As always, the White Snake Immortal sat coiled on his magnificent throne, a pipe dangling from his mouth. He took a leisurely puff and exhaled a large smoke ring.

Below it, Nagato lay prostrate on the ground, like a most devout believer.

"Little Nagato, get up. Congratulations on learning Sage Mode. You little rascal, you really didn't disappoint me. You mastered Sage Mode in just half a month."

The White Snake Immortal put down his pipe and spoke with an appreciative expression.

"Thanks to your careful guidance during this period."

Nagato said humbly and gratefully, lifting his hands off the ground and standing up.

At this moment, his skin had become even whiter than Orochimaru's, and his entire body was covered in a texture resembling snake scales. Beautiful purple eyeshadow had also been added around his Rinnegan, giving him a mysterious and noble air.

In addition, Nagato has a pair of horns growing from the top of his head, sharp and strong. Snakes do not have horns, so this is a symbol of "transformation into a dragon".

This is the change that occurred after Nagato entered Sage Mode.

He became a half-human, half-snake being, with human and snake characteristics perfectly blended together in harmony.

Unlike the Sage Mode of Mount Myoboku or Shikkotsu Forest, the Sage Mode of Ryuchi Cave is not temporary and continuous, but a state that can be maintained for a long time.

During this time, the White Snake Sage used its sharp fangs to continuously inject natural energy into Nagato's body, permanently altering his physique.

Now, he can absorb and utilize natural energy anytime, anywhere, making him a true immortal.

"Go ahead, I know you can't wait to leave here."

The White Snake Sage chuckled, instantly discerning Nagato's thoughts.

Upon hearing this, Nagato's expression changed, and he quickly and respectfully replied:
