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

Kisame ignored her and continued, "Unfortunately, after all the bad things you've done and the many innocent people you've killed, Nohara Rin has completely lost faith in you. Even if you were standing in front of her now, she would only say that the Uchiha Obito she once knew is long dead."

As a villain, Kisame believed he had never indiscriminately killed innocent people, unlike Obito, who caused countless killings and deaths for a woman, trying to turn the entire ninja world upside down.

In the original story, this guy was eventually redeemed, which was perfectly reasonable.

Therefore, Kisame despised Obito, scorning this hypocritical, selfish, and cowardly guy. Obito completely insulted the word "villain" and lacked the demeanor expected of a villain.

Now, he has inflicted both physical and mental torment on Obito, making him feel the deepest despair and pain, and then it's time to end it.

With that thought, Kisame reached out and, amidst Obito's screams, took away the latter's right eye.

In front of Obito, he absorbed the power of a pair of Mangekyou Sharingan, allowing them to completely merge into his body, thus taking full control of the Kamui dimension.

"Lin"

Obito let out a final cry, then collapsed backward to the ground with a thud, dying instantly.

Kisame glanced at Obito's corpse, revealing a meaningful expression, then turned around and slowly disappeared from the Kamui dimension.

Shortly after he left.

Obito lay on the ground, his right eye now just a bloody hole. His left eye, however, held a transplanted three-tomoe Sharingan, which was suddenly undergoing a mysterious transformation.

The pupil of that eye quickly faded, and the three-tomoe pattern gradually became blurred until finally, it turned into a grayish-white eye.

It looks like the eyes of a blind person who has lost their sight.

285. Snow Country

Obito, who should have died, underwent a subtle change in the only Sharingan remaining in his eye socket.

Incredibly, during this process, the wound in his chest that had been pierced by the lightning spear healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, until it was completely healed.

Then, Obito Uchiha stood up again, as if he had never been injured, as if the terrible things he had experienced were just a dream, an illusion.

But Obito knew that it wasn't a dream.

"Kisame Hoshigaki is still alive. But what shocks me even more is that Rin isn't dead either. I have to go to Kirigakure to confirm what Kisame said, but before that, I need to find a way to get out of here."

Obito muttered to himself.

Now that Kisame has taken both of his Mangekyou Sharingan, it means he can no longer freely enter and exit the Kamui dimension as before.

But Obito believed he could find a way.

"Kisame Hoshigaki, once I find Rin and bring her to safety, I will exact my revenge on you, destroy Kirigakure and Kumogakure, torture and kill everyone you care about, and make you experience true despair!"

Obito muttered an oath to himself, clenching his fist so tightly that his nails dug deep into his flesh, drawing blood without him even noticing.

He once wanted to destroy the entire ninja world, but now, he only wants to destroy Kisame Hoshigaki by any means necessary.

Unfortunately, it was destined to be a pipe dream.

Haha, hahahaha

Just as Obito made his vow, emboldened by his longing for Rin Nohara and his burning hatred for Kisame, and began to laugh wildly...

"Yin Xie Na Qi is exactly as I expected."

Kisame's voice rang out again in the Kamui dimension, bringing Obito's maniacal laughter to an abrupt halt.

Kisame noticed Obito's other Sharingan from the beginning and knew that the principle behind the Yin Xie Na Qi technique was that the Uchiha clan used permanent blindness as the price to cast a genjutsu that could transform any reality that was unfavorable to them into a dream, such as death.

"you"

When Obito heard Kisame's voice, his heart sank to the bottom. In particular, when Kisame said "Inzagaki," he finally realized that the other party had already anticipated all his actions.

thump.

In his terror, Obito fell to the ground. Having lost his eyesight, he could only rely on his senses to vaguely "see" the tall figure that appeared in front of him.

“Obito, do you know what true despair is? It’s giving someone hope when they’re already in despair, and then taking that last bit of hope away. Just like what you’re doing now.”

Kisame looked down at Obito and said calmly.

"No!" Obito let out a heart-wrenching roar, but the next second, his body was engulfed by golden lightning and completely annihilated into nothingness.

Kisame vanished from the Kamui dimension in a flash.

Whoosh.

On the rooftop of the Raikage Building, Kisame reappeared, once again playing the role of Takemikazuchi.

"Lord Thor!"

Samyin and Mabuyi were both delighted and apprehensive when they saw Kisame appear. They knew they had not performed well in the battle and had failed to protect the village and its inhabitants from the enemy's invasion.

Kisame noticed their nervous and self-reproachful expressions, so he stepped forward, put his right arm around their shoulders, and offered words of encouragement:

"You have done what you could, there is no need to blame yourselves."

Upon hearing this, the two felt a warmth in their hearts, and their faces flushed with shyness.

The three returned to the office.

"What happened in the village while I was away? Is everything alright?" Kisame sat down in his chair, picked up some documents and files from his desk, and casually asked as he flipped through them.

Samyin and Mabuyi exchanged a glance and nodded to each other. Then Mabuyi stepped forward and reported the important matters facing the village to Kisame one by one.

Is there anything else?

After Kisame spent some time dealing with the pile of tasks, he noticed that Mabui seemed hesitant to speak, so he took the initiative to ask.

"It is so, Lord Raijin. The intelligence ninjas at the front have reported that a coup seems to have taken place in the Land of Snow to the north. The monarch, Kazahana Hayayuki, has been imprisoned and is about to be overthrown. You have instructed that Kumokage and the Land of Lightning will no longer actively interfere in the affairs of other countries, but I am somewhat worried that this turmoil in the Land of Snow may create a lot of refugees and exiled ninjas, which may eventually have some impact on our borders."

Mabui said with a serious expression, while Samin brought out the intelligence documents and maps for Kisame to review.

Snow country?

Upon hearing this, Kisame became somewhat interested and, with the help of his two secretaries, conducted a thorough investigation.

The Land of Snow, located in the northern part of the Land of Lightning, is an extremely cold and icy land.

People say it's a place without spring, a country where tears turn to ice and hearts are frozen.

As is well known, the Land of Lightning was once a nation that revered military might and constantly coveted the territories of neighboring smaller countries. However, the Land of Lightning never attempted to annex the Land of Snow and incorporate it into its territory.

This wasn't because the rulers of the Land of Lightning suddenly became kind, nor because some kind of peace treaty had been signed between the Land of Lightning and the Land of Snow, but because...

The natural environment of the Land of Snow is too harsh, and its resources are extremely scarce. It is so barren that it is not worth the Land of Lightning using force to launch a war that is destined to be a loss.

Therefore, the harsh environment of the Snow Country, to some extent, becomes a barrier, protecting its people from invasion and allowing them to live independently in the icy and snowy landscape.

Kisame was interested in the Land of Snow because of its technology.

Due to scarce resources, the people there developed an industrial system centered on steam engine technology by utilizing coal mined from the ground in order to survive.

Trains, railways, airships.

In Kisame's view, the engineers and industrial system of the Land of Snow are the greatest asset of this small country, and their value is immeasurable.

So, after reviewing the intelligence in his hand, he had an idea and instructed his two young and beautiful secretaries:

"Don't worry, I will personally go to the Land of Snow to handle this matter."

Samin and Mabui were both surprised to hear this. After they came to their senses, they both volunteered to follow Lord Thor to the Land of Snow.

However, Kisame smiled slightly and said to the two, "I already have companions for this trip. You don't mind coming with me, do you, Tsunade?"

After he finished speaking, he looked at the screen beside him.

To the astonishment of Sam and Kisame, Tsunade gracefully stepped forward. She first nodded kindly to them, then gave Kisame a sweet smile and responded in a gentle voice:

"Of course, Lord Thor, I would be happy to travel with you."

"In that case, let's not delay any longer and set off now. If we're too late, the coup in the Land of Snow might be over."

Kisame smiled back at Tsunade, then stood up, opened a spatial portal, and stretched out an arm toward her.

Tsunade walked over, naturally put her arm around Kisame's shoulder, and then, to the astonishment of Samuin and Mabui, they entered the portal together and disappeared.

"Samyin, did you see that? My eyes aren't playing tricks on me, are they?"

After the two left, Mabuyi rubbed his eyes and asked Samyin a question.

“Mabui, I don’t think this is an illusion. The God of Shinobi, Tsunade, just took the arm of the Raijin. Their relationship is probably much closer than we imagine. That’s so cool.”

Samin murmured, involuntarily uttering his catchphrase again.

"And have you noticed?"

Mabui, looking curious, added, "Lady Tsunade seems very different from when we last saw her. Her demeanor and expression have become much gentler, even her voice is softer. It's like she's a completely different person. It's really strange."

The two racked their brains but still couldn't figure out why.

The reason is actually very simple.

At this moment, the person with Kisame is not Tsunade, but Katsuyu.

That day, Kisame made a condition to Tsunade, requesting to spend time alone with Katsuyu, whom he hadn't seen for some time.

He had expected Tsunade to refuse as usual, and he was prepared to use force against her, but to his surprise, she actually nodded in agreement.

Perhaps this woman had a change of heart.

As a result, Tsunade's consciousness fell into a deep sleep, and the slug's consciousness awoke from her body, taking over Tsunade's body and allowing her to meet Kisame again.

For Kisame, this trip to the Land of Snow was less about business and more like a trip, a date with the live slug.

Having finally met your loved one, you should definitely make the most of the time to nurture your relationship and create some wonderful memories together.

One day later.

Besides, besides.

On the snow-covered land, a train roared across the tracks, heading towards the capital of the Snow Kingdom.

Inside the carriage, Tsunade sat by the window, her chin resting on her hands, curiously watching the scenery flash by outside.

"Cold?"

Kisame, who was standing nearby, asked with concern and took off his coat, covering Tsunade's—no, I mean, the slug's—shoulder.

Live slugs certainly don't feel cold.
