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

186. A devastating blow to Nagato

On the street, a white snake struggled and twitched on the ground, then quickly went still.

This white snake was Nagato's tail, or rather, his third leg, and a vital organ for absorbing natural energy. Its severed nature by Kisame's sword was undoubtedly a devastating blow to Nagato.

Nagato roared in pain, finally realizing that even with his immortal body, he was still no match for the person before him in terms of physical skills.

What kind of monster is this guy?

He endured the excruciating pain and retreated rapidly, temporarily creating distance between himself and Kisame.

call out.

Kisame threw the Kusanagi sword in his hand and, using the technique of the Sky Blade, remotely manipulated the Kusanagi sword to pierce Nagato's heart.

Shinra Tensei!

Without hesitation, Nagato activated his eye power, creating a powerful repulsive force, which he released through the palms of his outstretched hands.

buzzing.

The Kusanagi sword, which had been hurtling towards them like lightning, was immediately bound by this force, halting in mid-air and trembling violently.

next second.

call out.

The Kusanagi Sword was flung backward, circling in the air several times before finally returning to Kisame's hand at his summons.

Kisame opened his mouth, swallowed the sword, and merged it back into his body. Then, he stomped his foot and charged towards Nagato like an enraged bull.

Faced with Kisame's renewed attack, Nagato decided to stop engaging in close combat. Fortunately, he had Shinra Tensei.

With this technique, no one can get close to him.

Shinra Tensei!

Seeing Kisame charging towards him, Nagato released his repulsive force again, attempting to knock him away.

However, this time, he miscalculated.

boom.

Kisame felt a powerful repulsive force rushing towards him, like a gale, threatening to lift him off the ground and send him flying. His entire face was distorted by this force, and his clothes fluttered wildly.

However, Kisame's legs seemed to be rooted to the ground, firmly planted, and he stubbornly resisted the power of Shinra Tensei, moving forward step by step.

Shinra Tensei, too, has its limits.

Kisame, relying on his powerful physique formed by absorbing a large number of ninja tools, withstood the impact of the technique and broke it.

How can it be?

Nagato stared in disbelief at Kisame, who looked like a demon god descended to earth, his heart filled with fear.

next moment.

Whoosh.

Kisame suddenly stretched out his right arm, forcefully piercing through the invisible barrier created by the repulsive force of Shinra Tensei, and grabbed Nagato's neck with his iron-like hand, his five fingers tightening.

Nagato suddenly felt a strong sense of suffocation, and even his eyes rolled back. He was about to be strangled to death by Kisame.

"Drink!"

In the face of life and death, his potential erupted once more, veins bulging on his face. With a roar from Nagato, his Rinnegan eyes widened in fury, and the power of Shinra Tensei was further amplified.

boom.

Kisame finally couldn't hold on any longer and was forced to release his grip on Nagato's neck. He was thrown back and crashed into a wall with a loud bang, where he was buried under the rubble.

However, Nagato wasn't much better off. He covered his neck, which had turned blue from being choked, took several steps back, and finally knelt on the ground, coughing violently for a long time before he recovered.

Thus, in this contest between the two sides, Nagato, who was previously invincible, was suppressed at every turn, not only failing to gain any advantage, but also almost losing his life.

This outcome not only shocked Nagato, the person directly involved, but also left Konoha and the others watching from afar utterly astonished.

From Jiraiya's and others' perspective, the person who fought Nagato was Orochimaru.

Previously, in the valley outside Amegakure, Orochimaru displayed his power, summoning a hundred-meter-tall wooden dummy, and single-handedly repelled the pursuers from Konoha and Sunagakure.

Now, he has returned to Amegakure and is gaining the upper hand in his battle against Nagato, the prophesied son.

Is Orochimaru really that powerful?

Jiraiya's eyes were fixed on Orochimaru as he rose from the ruins, and he couldn't help but have some doubts about the latter's identity.

But for now, such things are not important.

"Jiraiya, while Orochimaru and Nagato are fighting, quickly seize the opportunity and prepare to use that technique."

At that moment, Shimajiro, perched on Jiraiya's shoulder, rolled his eyes and urged him on.

“The child’s mother is right. This is a good opportunity. If we can use that technique, we might be able to reap the benefits and catch those two guys in one fell swoop.”

The immortal's eyes lit up, and he echoed the sentiment.

"Boss, Big Sister, what are you talking about..." Jiraiya's pupils dilated, and he had already guessed seven or eight parts of the truth.

"The toad is about to sing!"

While the two men were plotting their scheme, not far away, Nagato used his hands to support himself as he stood up again.

He stared intently at "Orochimaru" opposite him.

During his fight with this person, Nagato discovered that, like himself, the other person possessed a body brimming with powerful Sage Chakra. Based on this alone, this person was definitely not Orochimaru.

Considering the series of methods and abilities the other party displayed... could it be him?

A bolt from the blue flashed through Nagato's mind: the image of a tall, burly man in a suit and leather shoes appeared before her.

Kisame Hoshigaki.

It can only be him!

Aside from Kisame, Nagato couldn't think of anyone else in the world who could completely suppress him in battle.

Seemingly sensing Nagato's thoughts, Kisame grinned at Nagato, revealing two rows of sharp white teeth.

The next second, he started again and rushed towards Nagato like the wind.

not good.

Nagato had realized the gap between himself and Kisame, and his confidence vanished. In a panic, he could only hastily form hand seals and spew out a dragon of light from his mouth.

They headed straight for Kisame.

Immortal Technique: White Strike Technique.

In an instant, a blinding light, a deafening roar, and the vibration of the air all worked together to completely block Kisame's vision, hearing, and touch, paralyzing him and rendering him unable to move.

But Kisame didn't care about any of that.

Don't forget, Kisame, like Nagato, isn't exactly a normal human. Born with fish-man genes, he can also liquefy his body to alleviate the numbness caused by air vibrations.

In addition, Kisame's body is incorporating a large number of ninja tools, all of which are hard and stubborn, and cannot be affected by air vibrations.

Therefore, although Kisame's vision and hearing were affected to some extent, his body did not stop at all. Relying on his memory of Nagato's location, he charged forward without hesitation.

what?

Nagato was shocked and watched helplessly as Kisame charged towards him like a raging bull, headbutting him in the chest.

The Iron Head Technique of Blunt Blade Cutting Through the Head, activated!

boom!

Nagato felt as if he had been hit by a speeding train; a muffled thud came from his chest, accompanied by the sound of bones breaking, and his entire chest cavity caved in.

This time, it was his turn to fly backwards, finally falling face-first into the air and landing hard on his stomach.

hateful.

Nagato lifted his face from the ground, his face covered in blood, and two of his teeth were broken. He looked not only very disheveled, but also somewhat comical.

Enraged to the extreme, he was on the verge of losing his mind, with only one thought left in his mind: defeat Kisame!

So he struggled to get up from the ground, clasped his hands together with a snap, and shouted with all his might, unleashing a violent burst of chakra within his body.

Rumble.

A bottomless, pitch-black hole appeared in the ground beneath Nagato's feet, and then a colossal creature emerged from it.

This monster has the appearance of a huge humanoid shape, with nine closed eyes, skin the color of dead wood, and columnar protrusions on its back.

It was eerie and terrifying, as if it were not a creature of this world.

that's the truth.

Because it is a heretical idol.

As the husk of the Ten-Tails, this demonic statue was sealed in the moon by the Sage of Six Paths hundreds of years ago. Now, summoned by Nagato, who possesses the Rinnegan, it has reappeared in the ninja world.

"Heh, heh..."

Nagato took two deep breaths, leaped onto the top of the Gedo Statue, then crouched down and inserted his fingers into the Statue's brain, controlling it to open its abyssal maw.

"Roar!"

With a loud dragon roar, a purple chakra dragon flew out of the golem's mouth and pounced on Kisame with bared teeth and claws.

This chakra dragon can absorb the chakra of anyone it comes into contact with. Nagato once used it to instantly kill Danzo's entire Root subordinates.

Faced with the approaching dragon, Kisame remained calm and composed, casually forming a hand seal and pressing his palm to the ground.

Boom!

A large tree rose from the ground, lifting Kisame into the air and allowing him to avoid the attack of the chakra dragon.

Not only that.

Under Nagato's astonished gaze, the tree grew taller and taller, soon soaring into the sky and surpassing the tallest building in Amegakure, eventually transforming into a hundred-meter-tall wooden Arhat statue.
