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

The Banana Fan allows Kisame to perform ninjutsu that utilizes the five nature transformations of water, fire, wind, lightning, and earth, enriching his combat options. The three-piece set of the Golden Rope grants him the ability to seal the verbal commands of others; simply by touching their bodies, he can force them to utter their catchphrases and instantly seal them.

Then, Kisame came to the unconscious Uchiha Itachi, stretched out a large hand, patted the latter's face, and tested his newly acquired ability on the spot.

"Sasuke..."

Itachi slowly opened his eyes and subconsciously called out his younger brother's name. It seems that this is his Word of Power.

Kisame wasn't surprised at all; he just thought to himself that there was no cure for brother-complex.

As soon as Itachi awoke from his coma, he saw Thor looking down at him with a calm and indifferent gaze, as if he were looking at an insignificant ant.

"The Sharingan, huh. It seems you, like Kinkaku and Ginkaku, are also descendants of Hagoromo Otsutsuki, the Sage of Six Paths."

Kisame looked down at Itachi, scrutinizing the latter's three-tomoe Sharingan, and suddenly said calmly, "However, your Sharingan hasn't evolved to the Mangekyou Sharingan yet, let alone the Rinnegan."

"..." Upon hearing this, Itachi was shocked and stood there dumbfounded, not knowing how to respond.

Itachi learned about the Mangekyou Sharingan and Rinnegan from his father. Unexpectedly, just like the Gold and Silver Brothers, the secret of his bloodline was seen through by Takemikazuchi at a glance.

Young Itachi already firmly believed that Thor claimed to know the Sage of Six Paths.

"Kid, you must really want to know how to unlock the Kaleidoscope, right? I can give you a hint."

After seeing Itachi's eyes, Thor seemed quite interested in the boy and became more talkative. "Back then, the Sage of Six Paths' younger brother was killed by his mother. After witnessing his brother's corpse, he suffered severe mental trauma, and his eyes mutated into Sharingan on the spot. So, if you want to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan, you have to witness the death of a cherished family member or companion, just like the Sage of Six Paths. Truly a pair of cursed eyes."

Upon hearing these words, Itachi's pupils dilated, his shock growing even more intense.

The method the Uchiha clan had been desperately seeking to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan was actually this—it's truly unbelievable.

At the same time, Itachi was also deeply puzzled as to why this high and mighty Takemikazuchi was telling him all this. Did the other party want him to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan?

What Itachi didn't expect was...

"Little brat, don't be afraid, I won't make things difficult for you."

Kisame said this to Itachi, then turned around and sat back down in his chair. He pressed a button on his desk and quickly notified Samui and Mabui to come to the office.

"Take him away, arrange a place for him to stay, and send him back to Konoha in a few days." He pointed at Uchiha Itachi and gave the order to Mabui.

"Yes, Lord Thor."

Mabui said respectfully, having no doubt about Raijin's orders, and immediately left the office with Itachi.

"You heard what Lord Thor said just now. As long as you behave yourself and don't cause trouble, you can return to Konoha safely. I won't put shackles on you, and I hope you won't be too clever for your own good. If you try to escape from here, things will change. Do you understand?"

In the corridor, Mabui warned Uchiha Itachi.

Upon hearing this, Itachi nodded and obediently said, "I will follow all your arrangements, sir."

in the office.

"Take me around, I want to know the specific layout of Cloud Shadow Village." Kisame said as he stood up.

"Yes. Lord Rai, please follow me." Samui bowed slightly, then became Kisame's guide, leading him away from the Raikage Building and around the village.

Half an hour later.

Rumble.

A heavy door slowly opened before Kisame, leading him into the secret warehouse of Amegakure, where he discovered the ultimate weapon hidden by the clouds—a giant chakra energy cannon.

This colossal cannon resembled an anti-aircraft gun, its massive, black barrel connected to a control panel at the rear. Following Kisame's instructions, Samui climbed up and found the firing button. This cannon didn't produce physical projectiles; instead, numerous pipes ran along both sides of the barrel, connecting hundreds of ninjas and drawing their chakra to create energy projectiles.

Once fully charged, this cannon will unleash terrifying power. When fired, a golden beam of energy shoots straight into the sky, and after hitting the main target, it will scatter to continue attacking smaller targets in the surrounding area.

In the original story, Cloud Shadow Village relied on this giant cannon to successfully stop wave after wave of meteor showers that were heading towards Earth.

Given enough energy, it could even blast the moon apart with a single shot.

"You go ahead and get busy."

Kisame gave Samui an instruction, and after the latter left, he immediately stored the giant chakra cannon into his internal space. He planned to take it back to Kirigakure or deploy it on the moon to defend against the Otsutsuki clan in outer space.

Over the next few days, with the assistance of his two secretaries, Kisame, in his capacity as the Fifth Raikage, carried out a series of reforms and governance of Kumokage Village.

He encountered no resistance during this process, because the image of Takemikazuchi as invincible had long been deeply rooted in people's hearts and had become a belief in the hearts of the Cloud Village and even the people of the Land of Lightning.

Meanwhile, upon receiving the news of Takemikazuchi's sudden emergence, the other major ninja villages also made their own reactions.

Hidden Rock Village.

"Takemikazuchi...where did this guy come from?"

The Fourth Tsuchikage, Kyoto, put down the intelligence scroll in his hand, rubbed his forehead, and felt a severe headache.

Judging from the intelligence reports, this Takemikazuchi easily dealt with the Gold and Silver Brothers who were resurrected by Edo Tensei. Even if he is not a true god, his strength can be described as unfathomable, stronger than any Raikage in history.

Today, Kirigakure has Tsunade, the God of Shinobi; Konoha has the legendary Yellow Flash, Minato Namikaze, and his son, known as the Child of Prophecy; Amegakure has Nagato, the Sage; and Kumogakure has Takemikazuchi… In comparison, Iwagakure, another of the Five Great Shinobi Villages, only has a mediocre Fourth Tsuchikage.

Fortunately, Huang Tu was a self-aware person.

He knew he was far inferior to the leaders of other ninja villages, so he looked up at the ceiling, sighed, and decided to stay in Iwagakure and live his life quietly, no longer dreaming of conquering the ninja world.

Mortals should not get involved in the battles of gods, or they won't even know how they died.

"Dad, why do you look so worried? What's bothering you this time?" Heitu skipped in from outside the door and asked with a curious look.

"It's nothing, my dear daughter." Huang Tu smiled, patted his daughter's head, and secretly made up his mind to train her into an outstanding ninja.

Konoha, Hokage's office.

Uchiha Shisui respectfully reported to Namikaze Minato everything his team had seen and encountered in Kumogakure.

"Okay, you've worked hard. Go back and rest now."

Minato pondered for a moment, then waved for Shisui to leave. Once the office was empty, he spoke, "Jiraiya-sensei, Hiruzen-senpai, what do you think?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiraiya and Hiruzen Sarutobi, wearing ANBU masks, emerged from behind a screen. While nominally Minato's subordinates, they actually acted as his mentors and advisors, offering him advice on matters large and small.

"We don't have enough information to determine the true strength of this Takemikazuchi. How about I go to Kumogakure myself and find out more about him?" Jiraiya suggested after thinking for a moment.

He had barely finished speaking when Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned and spoke up to stop him:

"Jiraiya, don't be impulsive. Since we don't yet know the Thunder God's temperament and intentions, if you accidentally expose yourself and anger him, it could put Konoha in a passive position."

"Then, in your opinion, what should we do now?" Jiraiya asked.

Just then, hurried footsteps echoed down the corridor. Immediately afterwards, a figure burst into the office, interrupting the three-person meeting.

It was Uchiha Fugaku.

He was not only the head of the Uchiha clan, but also a member of the Konoha Elder Council appointed by Jiraiya, and the father of Uchiha Itachi.

Therefore, when Fugaku learned that his beloved son had fallen into the hands of that so-called Thunder God and unfortunately become a hostage of Kumogakure, he immediately went straight to the Hokage's office and asked Minato Namikaze to rescue Itachi.

"Chief Fugaku, please calm down. I understand your anxiety."

Minato Namikaze gazed at Fugaku and promised him in a sincere tone, "I have already sent a message to the Hidden Cloud Village as Hokage, requesting to speak with Takemikaze and urging them to return Itachi Uchiha. In the meantime, I hope you can wait patiently."

"...Three days."

Fugaku remained silent for a moment, his gaze fixed coldly on Minato Namikaze. He stated a number and added, "If there is still no definite news in three days, the Uchiha clan will take separate action to rescue Itachi Uchiha at all costs and consequences."

After saying that, he suppressed his anger and slammed the door as he left.

"Ugh."

After Fugaku left, Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed and suggested to Minato, "Minato, just do what you were thinking. Hopefully, Kumogakure will give us a response and reply as soon as possible."

"Yes, I understand." Minato Namikaze nodded, his expression serious, though he didn't actually have much confidence.

If all else fails, he will have to personally take action and use the Flying Thunder God Technique to rescue Uchiha Itachi from Kumogakure.

At the same time, in Kirigakure (Hidden Mist Village).

After Hozuki Mangetsu and Ringo Ameyuri escaped back to the village, they immediately reported to Tsunade what they had seen in Kumokage Village. However, Mangetsu guiltily concealed the fact that he had lost Samehada, fearing that Tsunade would hold him accountable.

After all, that sword was once Kisame's weapon.

After listening to their reports, Tsunade frowned slightly, asked them for some more details, and gradually revealed a strange look in her eyes before falling into deep thought.

"Live Slug, do you think... it's that guy?" she asked Live Slug in her mind.

"That certainly sounds like Kisame-sama's style," the slug chuckled.

"I knew it! Where did that bastard suddenly run off to? Turns out he went to Cloud Shadow Village to cause trouble. He's really something else."

Tsunade muttered to herself and snorted coldly.

"Lady Tsunade, what did you say? You... know that Takemikazuchi?" Both Mangetsu and Yuri heard Tsunade's mutterings and looked surprised, asking cautiously.

"Uh……"

Tsunade snapped out of her daze and waved to the two of them, saying, "It's nothing, you don't need to worry about it. I'll go to Kumokage Village myself and meet that Takemikazuchi."

As soon as she finished speaking, she stood up, strode out of the office, and left.

Hozuki Mangetsu and Ame Yuri were left staring at each other in bewilderment.

Lady Tsunade is truly decisive and efficient.

"I'm getting tired of staying in the village, so it's good to take a chance to go out and explore." Tsunade muttered to herself, stroking her chin as she walked out of the Mizukage Building. Then she lifted off the ground and flew into the air, heading north.

One day later.

Tsunade flew through mountains and clouds, finally arriving above Kumokage Village. Then, like a shooting star, she plummeted down to the open ground in front of the Raikage Building.

boom!

She didn't control her force when she landed, smashing a large crater in the ground, causing a loud noise and ground tremors, which drew many Cloud Village ninjas to her side in surprise.

"The enemy has invaded!"

Dozens of dark-skinned, muscular ninjas roared and surrounded Tsunade.

269. Alliance and Dinner

In the center of Cloud Shadow Village, in front of the Thunder Shadow Building.

As the dust settled, a strange woman appeared before the group of Cloud Shadow ninjas. She had a stunningly voluptuous figure, making them drool, but a straw hat obscured her features.

"They are really hospitable."

Tsunade looked around and saw a group of muscular men with bronze skin staring at her menacingly. For a moment, she thought she had entered a gym.
