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

Those Truth-Seeking Balls possess the power of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, making them incredibly powerful. They can transform into a fluid form, creating various kinds of weapons, and can nullify most ninjutsu, making them a perfect combination of offense and defense, capable of sweeping away all enemies below the Six Paths level.

However, the Kisame before her clearly did not exhibit any of the characteristics described above, nor did he possess the necessary conditions to enter Six Paths Sage Mode. Therefore, Tsunade suspected that Kisame had failed.

"Hahaha."

Upon hearing this, Kisame suddenly burst into wild laughter. At the same time, a hurricane-like, immense power emanated from his body, sweeping in all directions and instantly sending Tsunade flying backward in shock.

Yes. Generally speaking, there are only two ways to become a Six Paths level powerhouse.

The first type is those with pure Otsutsuki clan direct bloodlines, who are born with Six Paths level strength. The second type is like Tsunade and Nagato, who are outstanding descendants of the Sage of Six Paths, and can obtain Six Paths level power by becoming the Ten-Tails' Jinchūriki.

Kisame, however, chose a third path, a path he forged himself. Of course, it must be admitted that he also relied on external assistance in this process—the cheat code in his mind.

Kisame felt no shame whatsoever about using cheat codes; on the contrary, he was quite proud. After all, he was a major villain, so what was wrong with a villain using cheat codes?

In short, Kisame gained an advantage, but also paid a heavy price. After absorbing a large number of ninja tools, including the Box of Elysium, the Dragon Vein, the natural energy of Shikkotsu Forest, meteorites, the Hero's Water, the Grell Mine, and the power of some tailed beasts, he successfully broke through the shackles of an ordinary life and evolved.

The Kun he transformed into is a superior race similar to the Otsutsuki clan, and is at the top of the food chain in this universe.

Indeed, Kisame doesn't have horns on his head or Truth-Seeking Balls on his back, but he possesses his own unique power that is in no way inferior to that of the Otsutsuki clan.

"What's gotten into you all of a sudden?"

Tsunade was blown away by the power within Kisame and almost fell to the ground. After finally regaining her balance, she immediately roared at him angrily.

"Didn't you want to know my current strength? Instead of just talking about it, why don't you try it yourself and experience my power for yourself?" Kisame said to her.

"Let's give it a try, who's afraid of you?"

Upon hearing this, Tsunade's fighting spirit was also ignited. Today, she would see just how powerful the so-called Six Paths level really was.

So she narrowed her eyes, clenched her fists, and then pushed off the ground with all her might, rushing towards Kisame like lightning.

"Eat my punch!"

Tsunade roared, unleashing a powerful purple aura from her body, and punched Kisame's shark-like face that she hated.

He unleashed his full power of divine magic and superhuman strength from the very first move.

Her punch had already killed several Kage-level powerhouses, and even Nagato's Shinra Tensei couldn't withstand it. It could be said to be even more terrifying than the Third Raikage's One-Hit Punch, truly the "strongest spear".

Faced with Tsunade's unparalleled punch, Kisame seemed fearless, standing still as if he intended to take the punch head-on with his body.

"You bastard, how dare you look down on me?"

Tsunade's anger intensified, and without hesitation, she punched Kisame in the chest. Even if his pectoral muscles were as thick as a door, she was confident she could dent them and teach this arrogant guy a lesson.

However, what Tsunade never expected was...

puff.

Her powerful punch, which should have been earth-shattering when it landed on Kisame, felt like hitting cotton, completely powerless. She was horrified to discover that her power had been absorbed by his body, vanishing without a trace like a clay ox sinking into the sea.

How can this be?

"Your fists are still as weak and powerless as ever. It's my turn."

Kisame smiled slightly, took a breath as soon as he finished speaking, and then blew it towards Tsunade.

Swish.

The breath he exhaled was like a Category 5 hurricane, sending Tsunade flying hundreds of meters away before she landed on the ground with a thud.

"Damn it, is the gap between me and that guy really that big? I can't even catch a breath he exhales?"

Tsunade got up from the ground and muttered that she could not accept this at all.

The next second, her gaze sharpened, and she called out to the live slug inside her with her mind: "Live slug, wake up! Lend me your power. Today, I'm going to beat Kisame Hoshigaki to a pulp and crush him under my feet."

Hearing her gritted teeth, the slug shuddered and said cautiously, "Lady Tsunade, there's no need for this..."

In its mind, it imagined Tsunade standing with her hands on her hips, laughing heartily, and stomping hard on Kisame with her high heels, which felt strange.

"Enough talk, lend me your power!"

Tsunade let out a sharp shout, and before the words were even finished, she impatiently charged towards Kisame again. This time, the aura she unleashed was several times stronger than before.

Faced with Tsunade's all-out attack, Kisame was slightly moved and could no longer be as arrogant as before, standing still and letting her beat him. So, he also raised his fist and charged towards Tsunade.

Have some fun with her.

249. The Otsutsuki on the Moon

Bang bang bang!

Inside the Shikkotsu Forest, Kisame and Tsunade engaged in close combat. Their punches landed squarely, each collision generating powerful air currents that shattered the surrounding ground, creating deep trenches and causing trees to snap and fall in droves.

Even a Kage-level powerhouse, if he accidentally wanders into the battlefield, will be killed by the aftershocks of their fight.

This is a contest between the strongest, a seemingly simple battle, yet every move contains terrifying power and unparalleled killing intent.

"Not bad, not bad at all. It's amazing that you've lasted this long under my watch. It seems that your union with the live slug is even more perfect than I imagined."

Kisame remained calm and composed, maintaining control of the battle's pace with every move as if taking a leisurely stroll, appearing quite at ease.

"hateful!"

Faced with Kisame's praise, Tsunade was not happy at all. Instead, she gritted her teeth, but there was nothing she could do about it.

After personally fighting Kisame, she realized the gap in strength between them, like a chasm—she could see the other side, but couldn't cross it. During this process, Tsunade felt a profound sense of powerlessness.

Just as she steeled herself and decided to summon the live slug's true form to launch a full-scale attack on Kisame, she didn't expect him to preemptively strike first.

stop.

Suddenly, Kisame flew into the air, opened his mouth, and took a deep breath.

If we were to use the most apt word to describe his inhalation, it would be: swallowing everything whole.

buzzing.

In that instant, an indescribably powerful suction force emanated from Kisame's body, enveloping the entire Shikkotsu Forest. Tsunade quickly discovered in horror that the ground beneath her feet was cracking inch by inch, turning into countless pebbles suspended in mid-air; the bare, pale trees were also uprooted by an invisible force; in the nearby hot spring, hundreds of thousands of tons of water formed a waterspout, rushing into the sky; even the light in the air seemed to be distorted, surging towards Kisame from all directions.

Tsunade herself was no exception. Despite her struggles, her feet still lifted off the ground uncontrollably. Like a moth drawn to a flame, she flew towards Kisame along with the surrounding rocks, trees, air, water, and light.

At this moment, Kisame seemed to have become a human black hole, mercilessly devouring everything around him.

The Kun's greatest ability is to devour energy, which is very similar to the divine tree planted by the Otsutsuki clan.

However, the Divine Tree is ultimately a plant, only able to take root in one place, slowly absorbing natural energy over a relatively long period until it bears the Chakra Fruit. The Kun, on the other hand, is an animal, not only absorbing energy much faster than the Divine Tree, but also capable of rapidly moving from one place to another, absorbing natural energy far more efficiently.

If Kisame wanted, he could transform into a Kun right now and start by devouring all the humans and energy on this planet, beginning with Tsunade and Shikkotsu Forest, plunging the entire world into utter stillness.

No one can stop him.

Then, he could rush into the boundless universe, searching for suitable planets like the Otsutsuki clan, constantly plundering the natural energy of each planet to strengthen himself.

At that time, he will become an ultimate monster with infinite energy within his body, or, in the words of the Otsutsuki clan, a legendary "god".

In other words, Kisame's evolution into Kun is not the end of his power, but only the beginning. He is still relatively "weak" now, possessing almost limitless potential and room for growth.

Of course, Kisame doesn't intend to do that for the time being; he just wants to test his abilities and scare Tsunade a little.

Tsunade suddenly felt a lightness in her body.

The next second, she fell from mid-air and landed on the ground, and the invisible pressure that had been enveloping her disappeared completely.

"Heh, heh..."

Having survived the ordeal, Tsunade knelt on the ground, panting heavily, her whole body soaked in sweat, her clothes clinging to her body.

"So, am I good?" Kisame walked up to her and asked with a smile.

"……snort."

Tsunade held back for a long time, then snorted coldly, slowly stood up, frowned, and asked Kisame, "Since you're already invincible, why hide in the shadows? Wouldn't it be better to just announce your return in a high-profile manner and unify the entire ninja world? After all, no one can stop you, right?"

Upon hearing this, Kisame smiled and shook his head.

"First of all, I have no interest in unifying the ninja world. Even Kirigakure is just a temporary foothold for me. Sooner or later, I will go to space and enter other worlds. Secondly, the ninja world is not as simple as you think. There are still many mysterious and powerful forces hidden in various corners of this world. So I have to be careful."

"Mysterious power? Like what?"

Tsunade pressed for an answer.

“For example…” Kisame raised his head and looked at the sky, where a crescent moon hung on the horizon, its outline faintly visible on the surface.

On a whim, he extended an invitation to Tsunade: "Would you like to come with me to the moon? If I remember correctly, the Sage of Six Paths' younger brother, Hamura Otsutsuki, left behind a lineage on the moon. They should have discovered the theft of the Gedo Mazo by now, and perhaps they are planning to destroy the Earth."

Tsunade looked surprised upon hearing this.

From the myths Kisame had told her before, she already knew that the full moon hanging in the night sky was actually a sealing technique—Rokudo Chibaku Tensei—that the Sage of Six Paths and his brother had jointly used to seal their mother—Kaguya Otsutsuki.

After that, Hamura Otsutsuki stayed on the moon to guard the Ten-Tails' body, which is the Gedo Mazo.

If what Kisame said is true, then now that Nagato has stolen the Gedo Mazo with the Rinnegan, the Otsutsuki clan on the moon will definitely take action, and it will be a big one.

Thinking of this, Tsunade couldn't help but feel a strong sense of curiosity. So, after hesitating for a moment, she shrugged and said in a nonchalant manner:

"Alright, we're bored anyway. But how are we going to get to the moon?"

The distance from here to the lunar surface is at least hundreds of thousands of kilometers. Even with high-speed flight, it's unknown how long it would take to reach the moon.

"That's easy."

Kisame said casually, and as soon as he finished speaking, a pair of black wings sprouted from behind him. With a gentle flap, they caused the surrounding space to ripple like flowing water.

Upon seeing this, Tsunade couldn't help but shrink back. Clearly, Kisame's wings were no ordinary wings; they possessed the power to manipulate space and time. Was this also one of Kun's abilities?

"bring it on."

Seeing Tsunade standing there in a daze, Kisame reached out a hand to her.

Tsunade hesitated for a moment, but still walked towards Kisame. However, as soon as she got in front of him, Kisame reached out and pulled her into his arms.

"What are you doing?!" Tsunade glared angrily and instinctively struggled.

"Stop talking nonsense and hold on tight. This is my first time using this ability, and if anything goes wrong, I might throw you into the spatial turbulence and shatter you to pieces."

Kisame's smile faded, and he spoke in a deep voice, appearing very serious.

Tsunade shuddered and then calmed down, staying obediently in Kisame's arms like a kitten.

The next second, Kisame flapped his wings, and with a "whoosh," the two of them were lifted off the ground and shot into the sky like arrows released from a bow.
