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

After all, in the original work, even Madara Uchiha failed to notice Black Zetsu approaching from behind and was killed by Black Zetsu's sneak attack with Black Tiger Heart.

What's wrong with that woman's eyes?

Black Zetsu was horrified, but before he could think any further, he turned into a puddle of liquid and quickly sank into the ground.

As soon as it escaped, Tsunade leaped over and punched the ground, creating a huge, hemispherical crater tens of meters in diameter.

"They escaped again? These guys are nothing but a bunch of rats."

Tsunade gritted her teeth, appearing somewhat impotently furious. Direct confrontation was her forte, but her skill in hunting down enemies clearly needed improvement.

After confirming that the enemy had all fled, Tsunade had no choice but to reluctantly return to Kirigakure.

She vowed to kill Madara Uchiha, but judging from the outcome this time, she has failed so far.

"Lady Tsunade is back!"

"She has defeated the enemy once again! Did you see that? That giant yellow sword that pierces the sky and earth, it's practically a god-like power."

""

A large number of Hidden Mist ninjas and villagers gathered in the street, looking up with fanaticism as Tsunade's figure flew overhead.

Amid cheers from the villagers, Tsunade flew over half of Kirigakure and finally landed on the open ground in front of the Mizukage Building.

She walked straight to the Snow Woman, glanced at Kimimaro, Haku, and the others beside her, and asked:

Are the children alright?

"Lady Tsunade, please let us fight next time. We are the Jinchūriki of Kirigakure, we don't need to be protected, but should stand up and protect the other villagers."

Kimimaro stepped forward and said with a resolute expression.

"no problem."

Tsunade readily agreed, but then changed the subject, "However, you are still too weak at your current level. You need to work harder. After all, that guy was after the tailed beasts inside you."

Upon hearing this, the group of teenagers all changed their expressions and looked at each other in bewilderment.

They had witnessed Madara Uchiha's power; if it weren't for Tsunade's presence, they would have been captured and faced certain death.

Thinking of this, the boys fell silent, vowing in their hearts to become stronger.

At that moment, Tsunade noticed Hinata hiding to one side, looking at her timidly.

She walked over to Hinata, squatted down in front of the little girl, and stared directly into Hinata's eyes with her Tenseigan. She said, "Do you see my eyes? Don't be curious, their name is Tenseigan, which evolved from Byakugan."

"Really? Really?" Hinata asked blankly, her eyes wide with disbelief.

The godlike power that Lady Tsunade just displayed... it actually came from the Byakugan? That's impossible!

"The guy who brought you back said you have good potential and might be able to awaken the Tenseigan. So, kid, have some confidence in yourself."

Tsunade patted Hinata on the shoulder and took the opportunity to give her a heartfelt word of encouragement before standing up.

Upon hearing this, Hinata was so nervous that she couldn't say a word, and could only tightly cross her hands in front of her chest.

But in the girl's heart, out of her longing for Tsunade, a seed of wanting to become stronger had been quietly planted.

After confirming that everyone was alright, Tsunade sensed something, looked up at the top of the Divine Tree, and narrowed her eyes slightly.

She gave Yecang and the others a few instructions, then took flight and returned to the treehouse.

really.

As soon as Tsunade entered the room, she saw Kisame sitting on the sofa, leisurely crossing his legs and munching on an apple.

"When did you arrive?" She walked up to Kisame, put her hands on her hips, spread her legs, looked down at him, and interrogated him in an unfriendly tone.

"Of course, it was wrong when you were fighting with Uchiha Madara. It was when Madara approached Kirigakure's sensory barrier that I traversed space to get here. After all, Kirigakure is my base, so naturally I have to keep an eye on things here, right?"

As Kisame spoke, he finished the apple in two bites, then crossed his hands behind his head, leaned back on the sofa, and let out a burp.

"So, you bastard, you've been hiding on the sidelines watching the show the whole time?"

Tsunade's temper flared up instantly. She pounced on Kisame, grabbed his collar, and asked him fiercely.

"Don't get so excited, are you going through menopause soon?"

Kisame muttered something under his breath, then grinned at Tsunade, "I only did it because I trusted you. I knew you could handle it."

Tsunade was furious and seemed not to have heard the words "menopause." She stared intently at Kisame and demanded:

"But Madara Uchiha escaped in the end. You didn't stop him. Don't tell me you did it just to see me make a fool of myself."

"Of course not. I let him go on purpose, but I can't tell you the reason yet."

Kisame said meaningfully.

The reason is actually very simple.

What he truly cared about wasn't Madara Uchiha, nor Obito Uchiha, but the real mastermind behind it all, Black Zetsu.

Kisame didn't make a move today because, with the abilities of his humanoid clone, he wasn't absolutely certain he could capture Black Zetsu. If he exposed himself too early and scared that guy, he might never have another chance to catch Black Zetsu.

Kisame knew that Black Zetsu was Kaguya Otsutsuki's "son," and that it contained all of Kaguya's memories, which was an essential condition for reviving the progenitor of the ninja world.

If we can capture and destroy Black Zetsu, we can extinguish any hope of Kaguya Otsutsuki's resurrection.

But Kisame actually had an even bolder idea: to use Black Zetsu to actively revive Kaguya!

His decision to do this was not a spur-of-the-moment thing, but something he had been considering for some time. However, the time was not right yet; at the very least, he had to wait for his true form, the Kun, to return from the sun.

By then, Kisame might no longer need to rely on tailed beasts or the Divine Tree; he could revive Kaguya and completely control her with his own power.

boom!

Kisame was plotting his plan when a sharp pain suddenly shot through his face. He had been punched by Tsunade.

"Why didn't you dodge?" Tsunade was taken aback, her eyes becoming somewhat flustered.

She was just annoyed with Kisame and punched him in a fit of anger, but he seemed distracted and didn't dodge.

"That's strange. Is your expression and eyes showing concern for me?"

Kisame wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his hand, clicking his tongue in amazement.

"That's your misconception. I'd care about a pig, but I wouldn't care about you."

Upon hearing this, Tsunade stood up expressionlessly, pointed to the door, and coldly said to Kisame, "Get out of here right now."

"Row."

Kisame shrugged indifferently, stood up, and patted Tsunade on the shoulder. "Anyway, thank you for your hard work this time."

After saying that, he walked towards the door.

However, just as Kisame was about to leave, he suddenly turned back and said to Tsunade, "The resurrection of Madara Uchiha means that Nagato and Amegakure are doomed. I'm planning to go to Amegakure to take a look. Would you be interested in coming with me? Maybe we'll find something useful?"

As he spoke, he gestured and opened a spatial portal.

Upon hearing this, Tsunade crossed her arms, frowned, and did not respond.

"Then I'll go by myself."

Kisame didn't intend to force the issue and immediately stepped into the portal, his figure gradually disappearing.

"Wait!" Tsunade's eyes flashed, and she rushed in before the portal closed.

Rain-Hidden Village.

The sky remained dark and gloomy as always, with torrential rain covering the entire village, reducing visibility to less than a few meters.

Kisame and Tsunade flew side by side in mid-air, their chakra forming an invisible barrier around them, blocking all the rain.

They quickly descended to the tower in the center of Amegakure, dealt with some of the guards, and arrived at the main hall deep inside the tower.

"It's still here after all. It seems that Madara Uchiha rushed to Kirigakure as soon as he was resurrected and even forgot to take this with him."

Kisame sized up the Gedo Mazo before him, then glanced at Tsunade beside him.

“This demonic statue was originally sealed on the moon and guarded by the descendants of Ōtsutsuki Hamura. Now, as the lord of the moon, I have the obligation to retrieve it.”

Tsunade spoke with a serious expression. As soon as she finished speaking, her eyes shone with a dazzling blue light, and a large amount of green chakra surged from her body.

Tenseigan Chakra Mode.

Rumble.

Under the influence of her childlike power, the base of the Gedo Mazo shook violently, and then with a whoosh, the massive mazo was sent into another dimension by Tsunade's Tenseigan and completely sealed away.

She has used the Tenseigan to sever the connection between the Rinnegan and the Gedo Mazo. In other words, no matter how Madara Uchiha summons it, he will never be able to steal the Mazo again.

"With this, Madara Uchiha and Obito's Eye of the Moon plan is completely ruined, and they can no longer cause any trouble. Well done, Tsunade."

Kisame nodded in satisfaction and gave Tsunade a thumbs up.

After all, she did all the dirty and tiring work by herself, and he kept his hands in his pockets the whole time, so he should at least give her some verbal praise.

"Humph."

Tsunade snorted and rolled her eyes. She realized that Kisame was treating her like a maid.

Next to the Gedo Mazo, not far away on the floor, the two also found the remains of Yahiko and Konan.

As impure beings, they naturally could not remain in this world after the death of Nagato, the caster, and had to return to the underworld.

"Shouldn't we be heading back soon?" Tsunade asked, frowning.

Kisame shook his head, opened another portal, and gestured to Tsunade, "No, we still need to go somewhere else."

"where?"

"Ryuji Cave."

Ten minutes later.

What exactly is going on here?

Tsunade floated in the air, looking down at the earth below. This place was the location of Ryuchi Cave, but the scene before her surprised her.

The earth caved in, as if it had experienced a magnitude 10 earthquake, and a large amount of natural energy surged out from the ground, spreading to a radius of hundreds of miles and even reaching some human villages.

"It seems I guessed right. Out of caution, Nagato resurrected Madara Uchiha in Ryuchi Cave, intending to use the power of the White Snake Sage to deal with Madara Uchiha. As it turns out, they obviously failed."

Kisame, with a few words and his deductions, resolved Tsunade's doubts.

"Oh no, those villagers!"
