Kisame

154



At that time, the first one to be targeted by this group of traitors would be Konohagakure.

Thinking of this, Minato frowned and quickly made a decision.

He took out a blank scroll and wrote all the information he collected tonight on it, and then cast a seal to summon a toad.

After stuffing the scroll into Toad's mouth, Minato instructed the latter to send the information back to Konoha as quickly as possible and hand it over to Hokage Jiraiya.

Then, he used the communicator to get in touch with the Hyuga clansman outside Amegakure, and ordered the latter to come and join the team.

Namikaze Minato's plan was to let the team stay in Amegakure and wait for Konoha's reinforcement, while helping Rasa to remove the things left by Obito and others, so that Kazekage could regain control of the power of Sunagakure.

Rasa agreed with the plan.

In this way, when Obito and his party return from Ryuchi Cave, what awaits them will be a encirclement formed by Konohagakure and Sunagakure.

At that time, this group of traitors will definitely be wiped out.

The two sides immediately acted in full swing.

However, what Minato and others did not find was that during their conversation with Rasa, there was a small slug lying on a drain pipe outside the window.

It erected a pair of tentacles and memorized the conversation between the two sides.

With a "poof", the little slug was re-summoned and disappeared.

In a nearby building, in a hidden corner, Kisame learned everything that happened in the office from Katsuyu's mouth.

"Looks like there's going to be a good show."

Kisame thought to himself, showing a smile.

Kisame did not expect that after his previous intervention, Obito, Danzo and Orochimaru, and Nagato and Konan would still be able to mix together.

'Is this fate?'

Moreover, these guys went to Ryuchi Cave to learn senjutsu.

Compared with the anime, Nagato in this world did not have his legs blown off by Hanzo. It would be terrifying if he were to learn the sage mode of Ryuchi cave.

If Nagato grows up in the future, even if he can't become the second Sage of the Six Paths, with the immortal body and the Rennigan, he will not be worse than Kisame.

Now it seems that Kisame's previous series of actions seemed to have produced some kind of catfish effect.

All the plot characters in this time and space, whether good or bad, under the influence of a catfish like Kisame, are using various means to urgently improve their strength, becoming much more powerful than in the anime.

'It's so much fun.'

When Kisame decided to change the plot, these consequences were taken into account. No matter how strong his opponents become, he has the confidence to be stronger than them.

As currently recognized as the strongest person in the ninja world, he is not afraid of anyone's challenge.

Having said that, after finding out about Amegakure's current situation, Kisame is not in a hurry.

After all, not long after, the alliance of Konohagakure and Sunagakure will inevitably have a high level battle with Obito and others who returned from Ryuchi Cave in Amegakure.

Kisame can sit on the mountain to watch the tigers fight and enjoy the benefits of the fisherman.

In the hallway.

Kakashi met Minato Namikaze but hesitated about what to talk with him.

"Kakashi, is there anything you want to talk to me about? Is it about Obito?"

Minato sensed his student's thoughts, and smiled as he patted Kakashi on the shoulder, encouraging the latter to open up and talk to him.

Kakashi took a deep breath, and his mind returned to the most painful and regretful night in his life, and informed Minato of his conjecture.

"When Rin was kidnapped by the Kirigakure ninjas, I should have rescued her, but in the end... I pierced her heart with my own hands."

Kakashi recalled the past and looked sad.

However, at the moment of killing Rin, Kakashi felt a drastic change in his left eye, causing him to faint on the spot.

When he woke up, he learned from Jiraiya's mouth that his left eye had been gouged out by Kisame.

For a Demi-God of the Ninja World like Kisame, an ordinary Sharingan can't get his interest, unless it is... a Mangekyo Sharingan.

"You mean, you awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan at that time?" Minato Namikaze understood what Kakashi is implying and couldn't help but be very surprised.

What surprised Minato even more was what Kakashi said next.

"I think...Obito was there at the time, and he and I woke up the Mangekyo Sharingan at the same time."

Kakashi said as he dipped his fingers into his hair, his expression became very painful, "I promised Obito that I would use the eye he gave me to protect Rin from any harm. But in the end, he saw Rin die in my hands... It's all my fault."

In Kakashi's view, the reason why Obito fell into darkness was due to that night.

"Kakashi, don't blame yourself, you just did what you were supposed to do. As your teacher, I didn't protect my students, and I pay full responsibility for that night."

Minato lightly pressed his palm on Kakashi's shoulder, comforting and cheering Kakashi, "What we have to do now is to find Obito and pull him back from the wrong path."

"Really... can he be saved?"

"Of course, cheer up, Kakashi! We must get Obito back and let him go back to Konoha with us."

….....

Ryuchi Cave is hidden somewhere deep underground. According to legend, only those who are persistent in their hearts and full of desire for strength can find it here.

Orochimaru and his party set out from the Land of Rain, and after a long journey of more than ten days, they finally came to the entrance of Ryuchi Cave.

What appeared in front of everyone was a tall building with an antique flavor and splendor. There is a plaque above the gate with big characters "Ryuchi Cave". The pillars on both sides are wrapped with golden carved dragons, and the lanterns illuminate the dark underground world.

It was magnificent and majestic.

"As expected of the legendary holy place." Nagato, Yahiko, and Konan looked up at the entrance with awe in their hearts.

"Humph."

Danzo snorted coldly as he leaned on crutches to find a stone and sat down, and questioned Orochimaru very dissatisfiedly:

"Orochimaru, don't you have any other methods, such as reverse summoning jutsu, to send us directly to Ryuchi Cave? Do we have to walk like this for half a month?"

Danzo is getting older, and he usually relies on his crutches, which makes it very inconvenient to move. This trip almost cost him his life.

"This is the rule set by the White Snake sage. It is said that it is to test the sincerity of human beings. I can't help it."

Orochimaru glanced at Danzang and kindly advised, "Danzo, I advise you to give up on the idea of learning senjutsu earlier. With your old bones, I'm afraid you can't withstand the transformation of natural energy."

When Danzo heard him, his face darkened immediately, but he had come all the way here, how could he give up so easily. So while taking a breath and resting, he responded coldly:

"You don't need to worry about this old man. You just need to tell me the test in Ryuchi Cave and let me meet the White Snake sage."

"That's right, Orochimaru, don't procrastinate."

Obito agreed, urging Orochimaru to hurry. Ever since he heard that Kisame had learned the sage mode, he had trouble sleeping and eating, and was unwilling to lag behind this lifelong enemy.

This time, Obito was determined to learn the sage mode from Ryuchi cave.

'A group of ignorant guys who won't even know how they died.'

Orochimaru laughed at them in his heart, but with a smile on his face, he explained the three tests of Ryuchi Cave to them.

To meet the White Snake sage, you must first pass the test set by its three snake princesses.

To put it simply, the first test is to test people's concentration, the second test is to test patience and wisdom, and the third test is to test people's sincerity.

If it is their first time to experience these tests, it is indeed not easy to pass, but with Orochimaru's guidance, it is equivalent to taking the test with the answer, which is naturally much simpler.

"Are you ready. If there is no doubt, I'm going to open the gate of Ryuchi Cave."

After Orochimaru finished speaking, he asked them.

Nagato took a deep breath, put his hands on Konan's shoulders, and said to the latter: "Konan, you and Yahiko should stay here and wait for me, I will succeed in meeting the White Snake sage and learn senjutsu."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Yahiko who was staring blankly. The latter still looked like a living dead.

"Nagato, be careful, your safety is the most important thing. I will take good care of Yahiko and wait for you to come back."

Konan nodded her head and warned Nagato.

On the other side, Obito ordered Zetsu who was half-in-the-earth: "Stay here and keep an eye on Konan and Yahiko, okay?"

"Okay." Zetsu agreed.

So, led by Orochimaru, Obito, Danzo, and Nagato open on the door of Ryuchi Cave and walked in.

What happened after that was exactly as Orochimaru said.

The three subordinates of the White Snake sage—Ichikshimahime, Tagitsuhime, and Tagorihime, these three women who are like flowers, respectively conducted a round of tests on the three.

Not surprisingly, the three passed.

Finally, under the leadership of the three snake princesses, everyone came to the temple deep in Ryuchi Cave and saw the white snake sage who lived here.

Surprisingly, the legendary White Snake sage is an elderly grandmother, wearing a white long gown, looking very kind and not scary at all.

"Orochimaru, it's been a long time since I saw you."

The White Snake sage lying on the throne smiled and waved to Orochimaru.

"Respected White Snake sage, we take the liberty to visit and disturb you."

Orochimaru bowed to the White Snake sage, looking a little nervous.

That's because he has seen the real face of the old woman in front of him, and knows that the other party is eccentric and difficult to please. If he accidentally says the wrong thing or makes the White Snake sage unhappy, it will be difficult for him to get out of here alive.

Sure enough, in the face of Orochimaru's greeting, the White Snake sage, who had a kind face a second ago, suddenly changed her face and said coldly:

"Orochimaru, you still have the courage to come back to Ryuchi Cave. Manda is someone that I like very much. I let him sign a summoning contract with you, which is showing my trust in you. But I heard that you Manda was killed and was eaten by a monster called Hoshigaki Kisame, is that true?"

When Orochimaru heard her, his face changed suddenly, and cold sweat flowed down from his forehead.

The three snake princesses, who were standing on the side came over and said in a loud voice:

"We have always been the only ones to eat people. I didn't expect that one day it would turn around. I heard that Manda's meat was made into barbecued meat. He is really a waste. He caused the Ryuchi cave to lose its prestige, he deserved to be eaten by others."

"However, that ninja named Hoshigaki Kisame is undoubtedly provoking the Ryuchi Cave. He dares to ride on our heads, this is absolutely intolerable!"

"Orochimaru, when can you kill Hoshigaki Kisame and bring his body to Ryuchi Cave for us to enjoy? If you can't do it, we will eat you!"

While making threats, the three gathered around Orochimaru, exposing their fangs.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Orochimaru asked for mercy:

"White Snake sage, you don't know it but Hoshigaki Kisame signed a contract with the slug sage, and has been taught by the latter, he has already learned the senjutsu of the Shikkotsu Forest. I'm really not his opponent, I hope you forgive me."

"Oh?"

When the White Snake sage heard that Kisame had become the sage of Shikkotsu forest, a strange expression appeared on her face as she did not expect such a thing to happen.

The White Snake sage is known as one of the three sages together with the Gamamaru from Mount Myoboku and Katsuyu from Shikkotsu forest. They are all extraordinary creatures with a lifespan of more than a thousand years.

Among the snakes, toads and slugs, there is actually a relationship of mutual restraint.

Slugs are afraid of toads, toads are afraid of snakes, and snakes are afraid of slugs.

Therefore, the White Snake sage has always been very annoyed of Katsuyu.

When it heard that Manda was torn up and eaten by Katsuyu's summoner, it couldn't help being even more annoyed, and a fierce light appeared in her eyes.

However, the White Snake sage finally suppressed her anger and waved her hand, signalling the three Snake princesses to step back first.

Then, it casually glanced at the three people behind Orochimaru, and asked again:

"So, why did you come to Ryuchi Cave this time?"

Orochimaru breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said: "The three people behind me all have a deep hatred with Hoshigaki Kisame. They came to Ryuchi Cave with me this time, hoping to get the power of sage mode from you to kill Kisame. In this way, I can also avenge Manda and restore the prestige of Ryuchi Cave."

Hearing what Orochimaru said, the three of them looked at each other and frowned.

No wonder Orochimaru was so enthusiastic and willing to bring them to Ryuchi Cave, it was to save himself.

However, if they can really learn senjutsu, it doesn't matter.

The White Snake sage narrowed her eyes and looked at the three of them carefully.

A one-eyed old man with a bandage on his head, a one-eyed boy with a mask on his face, and the last red-haired boy with both eyes. 

If Nagato didn't have both eyes, the White Snake Sage would have thought that Orochimaru had deliberately found three one-eyed dragons for her.
