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

He approached Little Fatty and his friends, his mountain-like figure casting a shadow as he looked down at them.

"Uncle, who are you? Mind your own business."

Little Fatty was quite bold; not only was he not scared by Kisame, but he also glared at him.

Upon hearing this, Kisame gave the chubby boy a sinister smile, revealing two rows of sharp teeth:

"I think you don't even know how to write the word 'death'."

As soon as he finished speaking, he stretched out a large hand, grabbed one of the chubby boy's legs, and lifted him upside down, raising him high in the air.

"Let me go, waaaaah!"

The chubby boy immediately revealed his true colors, begging for mercy and crying out in terror. His two companions also looked terrified, clinging to each other tightly, too afraid to move.

boom.

Kisame casually tossed the chubby boy towards his two companions, causing the three little devils to collide and fall to the ground, all of them crying.

“Cry? Anyone who dares to cry again, I’ll cut out their tongue.”

Kisame crouched down, took out a knife from somewhere, and brandished it in front of the three little devils. The three of them were so frightened that their crying stopped abruptly and they trembled all over.

Hiashi Hyuga, who was not far away, was dumbfounded when he saw this scene.

It's incredibly disrespectful for a high-ranking Cloud Village envoy to bully a few commoners in the woods of Konoha.

In fact, this is the difference between people like Kisame and Hiashi.

He lacks any so-called aristocratic demeanor or masterful bearing.

Despite being a Six Paths level powerhouse, Kisame could still bully a three-year-old child without any psychological burden and seemed to enjoy doing so.

That's why Tsunade would have called him a shameless bastard.

"Listen up, you lot! I'm an envoy from Kumogakure. Even your Hokage has to call me 'Big Brother.' So, if I ever see you bullying Hinata Hyuga again, I'll summon lightning and turn him to ashes."

Kisame grinned and issued a death threat to the three little devils.

That wasn't enough. As soon as he finished speaking, he snapped his fingers. With a crackling sound, a bolt of golden lightning suddenly descended from the sky, splitting a large tree several meters away in two and setting it ablaze.

"Help!" "Mom!"

The three little devils were so frightened that they wet themselves on the spot, and fled the woods without looking back, leaving them with a lifelong psychological trauma.

"If you like to bully others, you should be prepared to be bullied by someone stronger."

Kisame watched the kids run away and said calmly.

Hinata, kneeling on the ground, was completely dumbfounded after watching Kisame lend a helping hand, teach her a lesson, and drive away the three chubby kids.

274. Kidnapping and Exchange

In the grove.

Hinata sat on the ground in a duck-like position, her face streaked with tears, her hair disheveled, looking pitiful.

"I've chased away those guys who bullied you. Get up, the ground is cold."

Kisame crouched down, stretched out a large hand towards Hinata, and grinned.

However, he clearly underestimated the destructive power of his smile, especially those two rows of white teeth, which startled Hinata so much that her eyes shrank and her whole body trembled.

Whoosh.

Under Kisame's astonished gaze, Hinata suddenly scrambled to her feet and ran crying out of the woods.

"Uh"

Kisame watched Hinata's retreating figure, then stood up somewhat awkwardly. It seemed he really wasn't very good at dealing with children.

Hiashi Hyuga walked over and said to Kisame, "My lord, I'm so sorry. That child is just like that; he's timid, cowardly, and shy. I'm sorry you had to see him like that."

"It's alright." Kisame smiled and glanced in the direction Hinata had fled.

"Clan leader." At this moment, two Hyuga branch family ninjas rushed over, awaiting Hyuga Hiashi's instructions.

"Take Hinata back and lock her in her room. No one is allowed to let her out without my permission."

Hiashi Hyuga said coldly.

"Yes." The two immediately set off to catch up with Hinata.

After watching the two leave, Hiashi Hyuga turned around and gave Kisame an apologetic look:

"My lord, I'm so sorry to have taken up your time. Please continue with me as we tour the Hyuga clan and Konoha Village."

"Alright." Kisame smiled slightly and left the grove with Hiashi Hyuga.

Just as Kisame was about to leave the woods, he glanced back without making a sound. He saw a figure flash through the trees and chase after Hinata in the direction she had fled.

It was Uchiha Fugaku.

Ten minutes later.

Outside Konoha, in an empty training ground.

"Waaah," Hinata buried her head in her knees and sobbed softly from her seat in the stands.

"Lady Hinata, thank goodness, we've finally found you. The clan leader has instructed us to take you back."

Two members of the Hyuga clan found the training ground and breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Hinata was safe and sound. They then walked towards the stands.

This time, Hinata didn't run away, but she trembled and was even more afraid.

Upon hearing the words "Clan Chief," she immediately pictured Hiashi Hyuga with his stern face and his harsh gaze.

Despite being the eldest daughter of the Hyuga clan, Hinata suffered from the cold treatment of her elders from a young age due to her lack of talent. Even her father, Hiashi Hyuga, did not give her the fatherly love she deserved. Instead, Hiashi became the person Hinata feared the most and was the least willing to get close to.

"I see"

She murmured to herself, silently standing up, already prepared to face punishment when she got home.

But at this very moment...

Hugh.

With a sharp whooshing sound, two kunai, gleaming coldly, flew out from the woods beside the training ground and went straight for the two Hyuga clan members.

"Oh no, enemies!"

The two men's expressions changed drastically; they never expected to be attacked in Konoha Village.

However, they were all ninjas of the Hyuga clan, no ordinary people, so they immediately shouted, veins bulging on their foreheads, and activated their Byakugan.

Ding ding!

One of them used Gentle Fist to knock away the kunai flying towards him, then rushed into the woods, leaving his companion with the words, "Protect Hinata-sama."

"Be careful, don't underestimate them," another person warned, quickly running to Hinata's side and protecting her.

However, just a few seconds later.

"what!"

From the woods came the terrified voice of the Hyuga clansman, but then the voice stopped abruptly, and there was no further sound.

"what happened?"

Another Hyuga clansman looked on in horror and quickly activated his Byakugan's X-ray vision to look into the woods, but he only saw his unconscious comrade lying on the ground and did not see the enemy.

next second.

A figure appeared silently behind the Hyuga clansman, raised a hand, and with a clean and swift chop, knocked the man unconscious on the spot.

Due to the existence of the Caged Bird Seal, the Byakugan of the Hyuga branch family ninjas does not provide a 360-degree field of vision, but rather a blind spot at the back of their heads.

Clearly, whoever attacked these two Hyuga clan members was very familiar with the Hyuga clan's capabilities.

This sudden turn of events left Hinata standing there, stunned and unable to think.

She watched helplessly as the man who had attacked her tribesmen turned around and their eyes met.

Hinata saw a pair of blood-red eyes.

The next second, under the gaze of those eyes, she felt dizzy and drowsy, and collapsed limply to the ground.

The one who made the move was none other than Uchiha Fugaku.

After swiftly taking down the enemy, he glanced around to make sure no one else had witnessed what was happening on the training field.

Then, Fugaku carried the two unconscious Hyuga clansmen, tied them up, and hid them deep in the bushes of the forest. He had been rather rough with them to ensure they wouldn't wake up until tomorrow morning.

After doing all this, he returned to the stands and brought up Hinata, who was asleep under the influence of an illusion.

As he sized up the young lady of the Hyuga clan, Fugaku Uchiha frowned slightly, a thoughtful expression on his face.

"This kind of useless brat is despised even by her own father, Hiashi Hyuga. Why would the envoy from Kumogakure be interested in her?"

Fugaku muttered to himself.

Not to boast, but his eldest son, Uchiha Itachi, was a super genius who amazed the entire village. He had the strength of a Jonin at the age of nine and was specially recruited into the Anbu by Hokage Minato Namikaze, creating one record after another in the history of Konoha.

Itachi's future is incredibly promising.

In contrast, Hinata Hyuga was like a firefly beside the moon, dim and without luster. Therefore, Fugaku was puzzled as to why the Cloud Village envoy would propose exchanging Itachi Uchiha for Hinata Hyuga.

Could it be that this kid is hiding a secret?

Fugaku shook his head, deciding to stop thinking about it. His only concern now was rescuing his son.

Night falls.

Kisame, accompanied by Hiashi Hyuga, returned to the hotel where he was staying.

"Clan Chief Hyuga, it's getting late, so I won't invite you up for a drink. I need to rest as soon as possible, because I have to rush back to Kumogakure early tomorrow morning to report to Lord Takemikazuchi."

Kisame said to Hiashi Hyuga.

"My lord, I hope you will not forget the friendship of the Hyuga clan. If you ever come to Konoha again, please be sure to visit the Hyuga clan," said Hyuga Hiashi with a smile.

“Of course.” Kisame readily agreed.

After parting ways with Hiashi Hyuga, he strolled leisurely through the hotel lobby with his hands in his pockets, went upstairs, walked down the corridor, and finally opened the door to his room.
