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

"Unfortunately, just like last time, your death is inevitable." Nagato shook his head and gestured for Yahiko and Konan to step back. His battle with Kisame was not something the two of them could interfere with.

"Not necessarily."

Kisame was unconvinced and suddenly launched a sneak attack before he could finish speaking. However, his target was not Nagato, but rather—Kogoro standing next to him.

stop.

The Kusanagi sword flew from Kisame's palm, instantly extending seven or eight meters, and pierced Kogoro's heart before he could react.

"A neutral country, huh? This is what happens when you become a dog for a daimyo."

Kisame let out a cold laugh, withdrew the blood-stained Ama-no-Murakumo sword, and Kogoro, with an incredulous and horrified expression, clutched his gaping chest and collapsed in despair.

Kisame was right.

The various daimyo prefectures did indeed send orders to the samurai groups of the Land of Iron, requiring them to cooperate with Nagato's operation to ambush and kill Kisame. The rewards would naturally follow.

However, Mifune, the former general of the Land of Iron, disagreed and, in order to uphold the principles of a samurai, rejected the conditions offered by the daimyo.

As a result, he was placed under house arrest by the ambitious Kogoro for defying his superior.

Kogoro, along with Chosuke, Rikka, and others, all believed that the Five Kage Summit would be a turning point in the fate of the Land of Iron, and that the samurai, who had been lying low for so many years, would finally be able to step onto the stage of the ninja world again. However, they did not expect that they would become the first cannon fodder to be killed.

"Kill! Avenge Lord Kogoro!"

After Kogoro's death, more than a hundred samurai either rushed out of the room or broke through the windows, angrily charging towards Kisame, intending to hack him to death.

Kisame simply raised one hand and pressed it to the ground. With a deafening roar, a large number of trees burst from the ground, spiraling upwards and brutally crushing the group of samurai.

The tree kingdom was born.

not good.

Jiraiya and the others, who were affected, all changed their expressions and used their own methods to evacuate the conference hall as quickly as possible.

Soon, only Kisame and Nagato remained, along with hundreds of samurai corpses.

Whoosh.

Kisame raised the Kusanagi Sword with both hands, and the blade instantly extended ten meters, slashing down towards Nagato's head.

"Shinra Tensei!" Nagato spread his arms and used his signature ability once again.

boom!

The immense repulsive force not only deflected Kisame's longsword but also created a shockwave that pounded against the ceiling and walls of the conference hall.

In the wind and snow, the conference hall on Sanlang Mountain collapsed and became a ruin.

next second.

Whizzing.

Kisame and Nagato emerged simultaneously from the ruins and soared into the sky.

The ground area was too narrow, so in order to be able to use their full strength, both of them chose to engage in aerial combat.

This was a battle between demigods, a battle between sages, and a battle that would determine the future fate of the ninja world. In the conference room, Jiraiya made his stance clear, firmly standing on the side of Onoki and A.

He and Nagato, who were originally master and disciple, had essentially broken ties after the battle in Amegakure, and their old friendship was gone. Now, Nagato's forceful collection of the nine tailed beasts through violence has undoubtedly incurred the wrath of the masses and is unacceptable to everyone.

Another reason is that Jiraiya recently confirmed that Nagato is not the child of prophecy. This was the answer he received after personally inquiring with the Great Toad Sage.

Just now, Kisame confidently declared that Minato Namikaze's newborn son, Naruto Uzumaki, is the true child of prophecy.

Although it's unknown whether Kisame's words are true or false, if Naruto is indeed the child of prophecy, then Konoha will definitely benefit the most in the future.

Therefore, Jiraiya decided to join forces with others to deal with Nagato, the false prophesied child.

With Jiraiya's statement, Kisame was the only one of the Five Kage who remained silent.

“Nagato has gone mad. If he continues on his own, he will only bring endless disasters and suffering to the ninja world, not peace.”

Kisame raised his voice, putting on a sanctimonious air, and launched an attack on Nagato, "Therefore, we must stop him, right here, today."

Even Obito, who had been watching the show from the sidelines, chimed in, adding insult to injury:

"Oh dear, Nagato's Rinnegan was stolen, and his title as the Child of Prophecy was also stolen. He has no right to be one of the Five Kage and to appear in this meeting room. I suggest we all join forces and take him down. I'm willing to contribute as well."

After failing to manipulate Nagato and being betrayed by him, Obito fled from Ryuchi Cave and harbored resentment until today when he finally found an opportunity to take revenge on Nagato.

His plan was to kill Nagato, then find a way to retrieve the Rinnegan and use it for his own purposes.

In an instant, Nagato became the target of everyone's scorn.

Faced with this unfavorable situation, Nagato's response was—he remained expressionless, his gaze sweeping indifferently over everyone, finally settling on Kisame, and coldly said:

"You think you can deal with me by going to great lengths to win over this bunch of good-for-nothings? Unfortunately, in the world of ninjas, you can't win a battle with words; only strength can decide everything."

"Oh, really?"

Kisame remained noncommittal, finding Nagato's arrogance laughable.

He and Nagato were the two people in the ninja world closest to the Six Paths level. However, Nagato's Rinnegan did not belong to him, which destined him to encounter a bottleneck sooner or later, unable to cross the threshold of the Six Paths level. Kisame, on the other hand, had already transformed into a Kun, embarking on a completely new path of evolution.

In other words, Kisame died before Nagato.

Therefore, even though this body of his was just a shadow clone, he was still not afraid of Nagato when facing him, thanks to the power of the Kun.

Moreover, our side also has Sage Jiraiya, Flying Thunder God Minato Namikaze, Dust Release Onoki, Kamui Obito, Hiruzen Sarutobi who has mastered the Reaper Death Seal, and the most deeply hidden Black Zetsu.

Even Kisame would be overwhelmed if he wasn't careful fighting these people. If Nagato were to let his guard down, he would only face a violent death.

not good.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Kogoro, the general of the Land of Iron, changed his expression and hurriedly ran to the side of the conference room and pressed a switch.

sizzle.

Current appears, signal is activated.

Huh?

Amidst everyone's puzzled gazes, four televisions suddenly appeared on the walls of the conference room, and the next second, all the television screens lit up simultaneously.

After a brief signal fluctuation, the static on the television screen transformed into four faces—four men in luxurious clothes, each holding a fan.

Fire, Wind, Earth, and Thunder—the four daimyo of the four kingdoms.

"?!"

The moment the daimyo appeared, everyone in the conference room except for Nagato, Kisame, Obito, and Zetsu was extremely surprised. As if by reflex, they immediately bowed deeply to the daimyo.

"Greetings, Daimyo." Jiraiya, Onoki, and the others did not dare to be negligent and bowed to the Daimyo with humility.

The daimyo were used to this. Some greeted him lazily, some were absent-minded, and some even yawned as if they hadn't woken up yet.

This wasn't because the daimyo were extremely busy, but because they had recently gotten together and played mahjong for several nights in a row.

"Nagato, how did your meeting go? You specifically called us out, has there been a result yet?"

The daimyo of the Land of Wind rubbed his eyes, yawned repeatedly, and asked Nagato.

"Reporting to Lord Daimyo, something terrible has happened."

Before Nagato could speak, Kogoro interjected, "The talks failed due to Kisame's strong obstruction. Moreover, he incited others to target Nagato; the Hokage, Tsuchikage, and Raikage all betrayed their own allegiance and sided with Kisame!"

Upon hearing this, all the great names were taken aback, and their expressions immediately turned serious, no longer as nonchalant as before.

"Fourth Hokage, what exactly is going on? You actually cooperated with Kisame Hoshigaki. Don't you know he's a criminal wanted by the four daimyo's territories? Or do you also want to follow Kisame Hoshigaki's example, lead the Konoha ninja to storm the daimyo's territories, and eliminate me, the daimyo?"

The daimyo of the Land of Fire shouted at Jiraiya, immediately accusing him of a serious crime and appearing extremely angry.

Indeed, Kisame, as a mortal, killed the daimyo of the Land of Water, breaking a taboo that had lasted for centuries. This incident terrified the daimyo of various countries, which is why they united and issued a bounty of 300 million ryo for him.

As long as Kisame Hoshigaki lives, the daimyo will never have peace of mind.

Now, when they hear that their own Kage has chosen to cooperate with Kisame, they are naturally furious and cannot tolerate it.

After the daimyo of the Land of Fire spoke up, the daimyo of the Land of Earth and the Land of Lightning also questioned Onoki and A, demanding an explanation from them.

"Lord Daimyo, I absolutely did not mean that. It was because of Nagato..."

Jiraiya tried to explain, but he was interrupted impatiently by the Daimyo of the Land of Fire before he could finish his sentence.

"Jiraiya, and Tsuchikage Onoki, Raikage A, don't forget them."

The Fire Country Daimyo looked down at the Kage and coldly addressed them, "Decades ago, ninjas were just a bunch of lowly individuals. The reason why the major ninja villages are so prosperous today is because after the First Hokage and I negotiated, we established a system of one village per country, which was subsequently imitated by other countries. This stable system led to the prosperity of the five major ninja villages and the rise of ninjas, but now it has been destroyed by Kisame Hoshigaki, causing great turmoil throughout the entire ninja world."

After saying this, he paused for a moment, then continued in a cold voice:

"Therefore, the original purpose of today's Five Kage Summit was to discuss eliminating Kisame Hoshigaki. Only by completely killing him can the ninja world return to what it was before and usher in true peace!"

Of these daimyo, the daimyo of the Land of Fire undoubtedly hates Kisame the most.

In the Third Shinobi World War, Konoha was poised for a resounding victory, meaning the Land of Fire would reap enormous benefits from the war. However, just as the Fire Daimyo was overjoyed and preparing to celebrate with champagne, Kisame emerged, single-handedly defeating Konoha and shattering the Daimyo's dream of dominating all nations through Konoha.

From that day on, the daimyo of the Land of Fire set his sights on Kisame and plotted to eliminate this enemy.

As for the daimyo of the other three countries, the daimyo of the Land of Wind had long been a puppet controlled by Nagato, while the daimyo of the Land of Earth and the Land of Lightning had been "visited" by Nagato not long ago and had also become his people.

Therefore, they also issued orders to Onoki and A, demanding that the two immediately cease all actions against Nagato and obey Nagato's orders.

The daimyo all believed that Nagato was the legendary child of prophecy, and only he had the ability to kill the demigod Kisame Hoshigaki and restore order to the ninja world.

No one expected it.

Nagato, without making a sound, managed to win over the daimyo of the four great nations and get them on his side.

As everyone knows, the Daimyo not only possesses noble bloodlines and represents the orthodoxy that the people desire, but also controls the military budget allocations of the major ninja villages. Without the Daimyo's support, the four major ninja villages would immediately face severe difficulties and struggle to continue operating.

Jiraiya, Onoki, and A exchanged glances, all seeing the bitterness in each other's eyes.

After the daimyo expressed their opinions, the three men, though unwilling, had no choice but to obey orders for the sake of the village and dared not resist in the slightest.

Without saying a word, they all walked behind Nagato and changed their stance.

"Kisame Hoshigaki, do you have anything else to say now?"

Nagato gazed at Kisame and asked calmly, his expression as cold as ever. Everything was as he had expected.

"hehe."

Kisame smiled and shook his head. Although his verbal tactics had failed, it was enough to dispel the false aura of Nagato as the child of prophecy and publicly reveal the secret of the latter's Rinnegan.

That's about enough of the warm-up stuff; now it's time for the main event.

Like Nagato, everything was within Kisame's expectations.
