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

"Let's fight him!"

As the Gold and Silver Brothers saw Kisame approaching step by step, they gritted their teeth, threw away the useless Six Paths Ninja Tools in their hands, and then immediately transformed into half-tailed beasts and pounced on Kisame.

Without wasting words, Kisame conjured a golden lightning whip in each hand and began to lash out at the Gold and Silver Brothers.

Snap! Snap! Sizzle!

Under the lash of the lightning whip, the Gold and Silver Brothers let out cries of agony. Even with the Nine-Tails' chakra and the Impure World Reincarnation technique protecting them, they were still no match for the powerful destructive force of the Sage Art.

"No!"

With two desperate roars, the Gold and Silver Brothers were bound by Kisame's lightning whip and sealed directly inside the Amber Bottle. Their souls are imprisoned within the bottle, tormented for eternity.

After easily defeating the Gold and Silver Brothers, Kisame seized their ninja tools and then slowly turned around.

Upon seeing this, the Cloud Village members in the distance erupted in a thunderous cheer.

"Long live Lord Thor!"

The overwhelming shouts soared into the sky.

In the Land of Lightning, a nation where martial spirit reigns supreme, the worship and obedience to the strong are ingrained in the very bones of every Cloud Village ninja. Even the Gold and Silver Brothers, heinous criminals, are believed by many to have done nothing wrong and are willing to serve them simply because they are powerful enough.

Today, Kisame has undoubtedly won over all the Cloud Village ninjas and villagers with a magnificent stage performance.

From that moment on, he was the ruler of this country.

However, before officially taking over Kumokage Village, Kisame planned to deal with the spies and agents from other ninja villages.

He soared into the air once more, his eyes gleaming with golden light. His divine eye swept across the crowd before finally settling on the distant woods. That was where Hanzo of the Salamander and Sasori of the Red Sand were hiding.

"Oops."

Hanzo and Sasori realized they had been exposed, their expressions changed, and they turned and ran without a word. Faced with such a terrifying enemy as Takemikazuchi, neither of them had any thought or confidence to resist.

However, they hadn't run far when a dazzling light came from behind them.

Hanzo subconsciously glanced back and his pupils contracted as he saw a ball of lightning energy, several meters in diameter, fall from the sky, catch up with the two of them, and explode.

Boom!

The two were instantly engulfed by the shockwave from the explosion, which destroyed large swathes of forest and sparked a massive fire.

After dealing with Nagato's subordinates, Kisame's gaze turned to the woods in another direction, locking onto Uchiha Shisui, Itachi, and the others who were hiding there.

Whoosh.

The next second, his figure disappeared from mid-air, turning into a golden lightning bolt, appearing above the Konoha Anbu squad as if he had teleported.

"Split up and escape!"

Zhi Shui shouted an order to his team members, who immediately fled in different directions in an attempt to avoid total annihilation.

With a whoosh, a lightning whip shot out from Kisame's hand. His target was none other than nine-year-old Uchiha Itachi.

Realizing he had become Takemikazuchi's target, Itachi didn't panic. Instead, he did his utmost to evade the lightning whip's pursuit and contend with this powerful enemy. He knew he couldn't escape, so he tried his best to buy time for his companions.

Kisame saw through Itachi's thoughts and shook his head with a smile. He deliberately played with the latter for a while before using his lightning whip to bind Itachi, preventing him from breathing and causing him to fall into a coma on the spot.

"hateful."

During this time, Uchiha Shisui, who had escaped, turned around and saw this scene, and couldn't help but grit his teeth. But his rationality ultimately prevailed over his impulse, and he abandoned the idea of ​​rescuing Itachi, quickly disappearing without a trace.

Kisame's gaze was piercing as he watched Shisui disappear. He had deliberately let him go, intending for Shisui to return to Konoha and report back. This way, his bargaining chip—Uchiha Itachi—could be used to its fullest potential later.

After dealing with the spies from Amegakure and Konoha, Kisame calmly turned around and looked at Hozuki Mangetsu and Ringo Ameyuri, who were sneaking away, with a half-smile.

Swish.

He flashed again, appearing above the two fleeing figures.

"Whoa!" Hozuki Mangetsu sensed the powerful chakra fluctuations above his head and immediately let out a strange cry, turning into a puddle of water and leaping into a river ahead. However, because he fled in such a hurry, he failed to take Samehada with him, leaving the poor monster fish behind.

Yuri, without uttering a word, transformed into a blue lightning bolt and fled into the distance at an extremely fast speed.

Kisame didn't chase after the two guys. He simply landed on the ground and picked up Samehada, the greatsword that Hozuki Mangetsu had dropped.

"Long time no see, my old friend." Kisame smiled slightly and carried Samehada on his back.

"Woo woo woo." Samehada made a cheerful sound, excitedly rubbing against Kisame's back, clearly recognizing its master.

Kisame flew into the sky again and landed on top of the Cloud Village members.

He glanced at the massive crowd below, thousands of eyes fixed on him, each filled with fervor and reverence, awaiting divine guidance.

Kisame clasped his hands together, and a massive surge of life energy erupted from his body, transforming into a golden rain that fell upon Amegakure.

"This is……"

On the ground, Samui, Mabuyi, and the others were surprised to find that after the golden raindrops fell on them, they quickly merged into their bodies, making them feel energetic and as if they had instantly become several years younger.

This is a miracle, a blessing and mercy from the Thunder God to mortals.

After doing all this, a thundercloud appeared beneath Kisame's feet, carrying him slowly into the sky, seemingly intending to leave and conceal his achievements.

Upon seeing this, the people on the ground immediately panicked.

"Lord Thor, please don't leave, don't abandon us!"

"Please become the ruler of Cloudshadow Village and lead us to a new beginning, Your Majesty the Thor."

"..."

People cried out to the heavens, pleading, weeping, and praying, watching the Thunder God gradually disappear into the distance, as if the sky were about to collapse.

That's exactly the effect Kisame wanted.

Under intense public pressure, he was finally "moved" and, amidst the joyful gazes of countless Hidden Mist ninjas and villagers, landed again on the open ground in front of the Raikage Building.

Kisame glanced at the crowd, said, "Samui, Mabui, you two come in." Then he turned and walked into the building.

Upon hearing this, the two felt their hearts pounding. They exchanged a glance, and then, amidst the envious gazes of the others, followed Kisame into the Raikage Building.

The layout of Raikage's office was very simple and spacious. In addition to a huge desk, there was also a lot of fitness equipment.

Hmm, that suits Kisame's taste perfectly.

He sat imposingly in Raikage's chair, staring at the two eighteen-year-old girls across the desk. One had fair skin, the other dark, and both wore low-cut black mesh tops. They were not only exceptionally capable but also quite attractive.

It must be said that she is an excellent candidate to be a secretary.

"I cannot bear to see this village continue to decline, so I have decided to enter the world, become the Shadow of Cloud Shadow Village, and lead the Land of Lightning back to its former glory. Are you two willing to assist me?"

Kisame spoke slowly.

"We are willing to serve Lord Rai!" Samui and Mabui were flattered and immediately answered in unison, kneeling on one knee to Kisame and swearing allegiance.

"very good."

Kisame nodded, extended a hand, and flicked his finger, sending a golden light flying from his hand. It landed in Mabui's hand, transforming into a gleaming golden whip covered with lightning patterns.

Since Samui has the Thunder Sword bestowed upon him, Mabui should not be treated unfairly.

"Thank you, sir!" The two exchanged a glance, bowed to Kisame again, their hearts filled with a sense of honor, and were willing to do anything for Kisame.

Kisame gave them a few instructions, telling them to retreat first, stabilize the situation in the village, and get everything back on track as soon as possible. He told them to come back and ask him for help if they encountered any problems they couldn't handle.

Simply put, Kisame became a hands-off manager.

"Yes!"

Samui and Mabui responded in unison. They knew this was a test from the Thunder God, so they were both on high alert, vowing to do their best.

After the two left, Kisame stood up and went to the floor-to-ceiling window in his office to admire the view of Kumogakure outside.

In this way, he completely controlled Cloud Shadow Village.

This trip to Kumogakure was a spur-of-the-moment decision; he decided to become the Raikage. However, this would be his last act.

Kisame will no longer interfere in the affairs of Konoha, Amegakure, Iwagakure, and other ninja villages, nor does he have any interest in doing so. At most, he might try to bring over a promising young talent or promising individual if he sets his sights on them.

Thinking of this, Kisame looked at the unconscious Uchiha Itachi beside him.

His initial strategy towards Itachi was to "raise the pig," hoping the latter would grow up quickly until he awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan and possessed the Totsuka Blade and the Yata Mirror. Then Kisame would "slaughter the pig" to obtain these two spiritual weapons.

In fact, Itachi did not disappoint Kisame's "expectations," joining the Anbu at the young age of nine, demonstrating even greater talent than in the original story. Although he had not yet awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, he had already exceeded Kisame's expectations.

Kisame is now a Six Paths level powerhouse, and his strength is still increasing rapidly.

The Totsuka Blade and the Yata Mirror no longer seemed to be essential to him, but who would complain about something that was just icing on the cake?

Therefore, Kisame's plan remained unchanged; he would continue "raising pigs" until he obtained two spiritual artifacts from Itachi Uchiha.

Prior to this, he decided to use Itachi as a hostage to send an envoy to Konoha and sign a peace agreement with them.

In the original story, Kumogakure (Cloud Village) signed a similar peace treaty with Konoha (Hidden Leaf Village) around this time. However, some minor incidents occurred during the process…

Kisame's target is the same as that of the high-ranking members of the Cloud Village in the original work: Hinata Hyuga, the little princess of the Hyuga clan.

268. Tsunade's Visit

In the original Naruto timeline.

After the Third Shinobi World War, Kumogakure, under the pretense of signing a peace treaty with Konoha, sent an envoy ninja leader to Konoha in an attempt to kidnap Hinata Hyuga, the youngest princess of the Hyuga clan's main branch. However, the envoy was discovered by Hiashi Hyuga and killed on the spot.

Upon learning of this, the Cloud Village leadership immediately lashed out at Konoha, demanding that Konoha hand over the body of Hyuga clan leader Hiashi Hyuga, or they would reignite the war and launch a full-scale attack on Konoha.

It must be said that Yunyin's act of turning the tables is extremely shameless and laughable.

To everyone's astonishment, faced with the unreasonable demands of the Hidden Cloud Village, the Konoha leadership, as the victors of the Third Shinobi World War, not only failed to respond forcefully but instead compromised: they forced Hyuga Hiashi's twin brother, Hyuga Hizashi, to commit suicide, and used his corpse to impersonate Hyuga Hiashi, handing it over to the Hidden Cloud Village in an attempt to quell the matter.

This incident is enough to show the weakness and incompetence of the Konoha leadership at the time.

So, on a whim, Kisame decided to recreate this history. He wanted to know if Konoha, now under the leadership of Minato Namikaze as Hokage, was still as cruel to its own people and persecuted various talented ninjas as depicted in the original story, while always cowering and enduring external threats.

In addition, Kisame was also quite interested in Hinata because her Byakugan was of extremely high purity, and after fusing with the chakra of the Otsutsuki clan, there was a high probability that it could evolve into the Tenseigan.

It would be a waste for such a promising talent to remain in the Hyuga clan and let his abilities go to waste. It would be better for him to join Kisame's ranks and be personally taught by him.

However, Kisame had to deal with some other matters before sending an envoy to Konoha.

He inventoried his spoils and absorbed all six ninja tools—the Banana Leaf Fan, the Golden Rope, the Seven Star Sword, and the Red Gourd—into his body, thus gaining their abilities.
