Starting as a working person from Naruto

Chapter 516 You have no chance of escaping from this eye, Hungry Ghost Path - Kisame!

Hiruzen Sarutobi was very satisfied with the progress of the matter.

Uchiha Itachi, loyal to the village, will return to Konoha to replace Danzo as the second leader of Root, shouldering the responsibility of protecting Konoha in the darkness. He will also become the reins that restrain the beast that is Uchiha Sasuke.

Orochimaru…

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at his most dangerous student.

"Sasuke-kun."

Kabuto Yakushi interrupted Hiruzen Sarutobi, adjusting his glasses and looking at Sasuke Uchiha: "We've done what we promised you. Now, can Lord Orochimaru and I leave?"

Some things…

This is suitable for Hiruzen Sarutobi to know.

Some things…

It's not appropriate to let Hiruzen Sarutobi know for the time being.

At the very least, the Third Hokage should be allowed to contribute his remaining energy and meet with his old friends before he can even glimpse a bit of the truth…

"..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes sharpened once more.

Without him.

Orochimaru's disciple is far too dangerous!

Even though Orochimaru joined forces with the Konoha ninjas to kill Danzo, he couldn't ignore the major incident this disciple had created during the Chunin Exams!

That was a disaster that almost destroyed Konoha!

Even though Hiruzen Sarutobi knew that the incident was long past, he couldn't help but feel uneasy about Orochimaru and Sunagakure's joint efforts to instigate the Chunin Exams in Konoha. It would be too dangerous for Orochimaru to live!

but…

Listen to them...

Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned. It seemed that Orochimaru and Kabuto Yakushi had made a pact with the Uchiha brothers, whether to deal with Danzo or to revive themselves, and that the two sides had reached some kind of alliance.

"..."

Orochimaru's eyes widened in surprise!

Immediately…

A sense of relief welled up in his heart!

Regardless of what Kabuto Yakushi wanted to say, this was his chance to leave. He didn't want to stay near those two dangerous people, Sasuke Uchiha and Itachi Uchiha, any longer!

"Let's go!"

Orochimaru immediately dashed off into the distance.

"..."

Kabuto glanced at Sasuke Uchiha and immediately flew after him.

"..."

Itachi Uchiha frowned, unable to resist the urge to set off and pursue Orochimaru. He didn't want Orochimaru to reveal anything about Sasuke!

However, Sasuke Uchiha reached out and stopped Itachi Uchiha, gently shaking his head: "I've already tried to kill Orochimaru. That man is troublesome. Let's find another opportunity in the future. We can't possibly stop him and Kabuto Yakushi..."

Orochimaru is also in danger.

Itachi Uchiha reminded his younger brother.

"good."

Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had been resurrected using Edo Tensei, also nodded.

"Hmph... Don't worry."

"He is no match for me."

"Furthermore, if we fight here, Orochimaru and Kabuto will definitely control the Third Hokage to fight us, and the two of us might not be able to defeat them..."

Sasuke Uchiha glanced coldly at Orochimaru and Kabuto who had fled, then looked at his brother: "Itachi, let's deal with your matter first!"

"..."

Uchiha Itachi remained silent.

"..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't help but nod in agreement.

Because Sasuke Uchiha was right, if Orochimaru and Kabuto Yakushi were controlling him to fight the brothers, the outcome of the battle might be unpredictable...

but…

Why did Orochimaru escape so quickly?

Just as Hiruzen Sarutobi was wondering, Sasuke Uchiha offered an answer: "The village's ANBU are almost here. Perhaps that guy sensed this before I did, which is why he ran so far with Kabuto Yakushi..."

Sasuke Uchiha extended his hand and landed on the ground, sensing a group of ninjas approaching from afar. He said softly, "Itachi, you and the Third Hokage should rendezvous with the Anbu first..."

"And you?"

"I'll clean up the mess you left behind."

Sasuke Uchiha's gaze fell upon a corner of the forest, and he said coldly, "Aren't the Akatsuki members still here?"

"..."

Itachi Uchiha looked somewhat uneasy.

Kisame Hoshigaki.

Kisame Hoshigaki, who had been watching him all along.

Nothing that happened here could be kept from Kisame Hoshigaki.

Itachi Uchiha glanced at Sasuke Uchiha with some confusion. He couldn't understand why his younger brother had known all along that Kisame was there, yet hadn't taken the initiative to eliminate this threat, instead letting Kisame know everything...

"Let me do it..."

Itachi Uchiha took a deep breath.

"I'll come myself."

Sasuke Uchiha rejected his brother's suggestion, his voice cold as he said, "You expended a lot of energy today to deal with Danzo. Protecting you during the battle would be too much trouble. You and the Third Hokage should immediately go and meet up with the Anbu. Don't interfere with my battle with that guy, and also to prevent him from secretly notifying the Akatsuki to come and capture us..."

"..."

Itachi Uchiha and Hiruzen Sarutobi had no choice but to leave.

Because Sasuke Uchiha's attitude was too resolute, and because Itachi Uchiha had indeed expended too much chakra to deal with Danzo Shimura, he might not even be able to handle a troublesome character like Kisame Hoshigaki, let alone Kakashi Hatake...

If Kisame, while secretly monitoring Itachi Uchiha, had inadvertently alerted the Akatsuki to come and ambush them, they might actually have encountered danger...

"Come out."

Sasuke Uchiha looked at Kisame Hoshigaki, who was hiding in a tree.

"Did you find it?"

As Kisame Hoshigaki watched the people who had gathered leave, leaving only Sasuke Uchiha, his shark-like eyes revealed a chilling killing intent.

next moment!

Kisame Hoshigaki's body descended from the sky!

The tall, shark-like man looked at the short, dark-haired boy and grinned, revealing a mouthful of shark teeth: "Kid, you're staying here all alone, are you planning to kill me to silence me?"

"What happened today..."

Kisame Hoshigaki grinned, threatening Sasuke Uchiha with amusement: "It seems rather unsuitable for more people to know about this..."

"No…"

A cold glint appeared in Sasuke Uchiha's eyes. His eyes slowly began to change, one of them flashing crimson, while the other turned into an eerie purple.

"I should say..."

"It's not really suitable for the living to know."

A surge of killing intent filled Sasuke Uchiha's voice as he raised his hand toward Kisame Hoshigaki: "Dead men... it doesn't matter."

"!!!"

Kisame Hoshigaki's expression suddenly changed!

If it were just the Mangekyou Sharingan, that would be one thing, but Sasuke Uchiha's eye had turned purple, which gave Kisame Hoshigaki a chill down his spine!

That is…

The appearance of the Rinnegan!

The Rinnegan was possessed only by Pain, the leader of the Akatsuki!

That brat Uchiha Sasuke actually possesses the Rinnegan!

This kind of thing...

Sasuke Uchiha didn't even let his brother Itachi Uchiha know, but instead revealed it to Kisame Hoshigaki. Kisame immediately sensed the danger!

To escape!

I have to escape!

I must escape from Uchiha Sasuke and hand over the information that Uchiha Sasuke possesses the Rinnegan to that person, even if it costs me my life!

Kisame Hoshigaki didn't know exactly how strong the Rinnegan user was, but he knew that Pain, the leader of Akatsuki, possessed many strange abilities. These strange abilities often symbolized that the other party had unparalleled power. Even he, who was known as the tailless tailed beast, could not possibly be a match for the Rinnegan user!

Kisame Hoshigaki twisted his body and suddenly fled into the distance. He knew that Sasuke Uchiha would not let him go so easily, so he had to seize every possible opportunity to escape. He guessed that the brat would not expect to escape after only saying one sentence.

but…

Hurry up!

Even faster!

Because that eerie purple Rinnegan was too terrifying, with six black tomoe on it, it might be even more powerful than Pain, the leader of the Akatsuki!

"Trying to escape?"

Sasuke Uchiha's eyes flickered, and he slightly raised his hand. His voice was calm and indifferent, like that of a high and mighty god: "Do you think you can escape from the gaze of the Rinnegan?"

Perhaps it's because of the soul's transmigration.

The power of the Six Paths contained within this Rinnegan is also hidden within the soul and does not manifest in the physical body, but its power is still incomparably strong!

"Heavenly Hand Power".

Uchiha Sasuke reached out and grabbed a fallen leaf.

next moment!

The fallen leaf vanished suddenly!

The figures of the fallen leaves and Kisame Hoshigaki suddenly swapped under the control of Amenotejikara!

Kisame Hoshigaki, who had already fled into the distance, suddenly felt the space shift in his eyes, and his body appeared in front of Sasuke Uchiha!

"Space-Time Spell..."

Kisame Hoshigaki's heart sank immediately.

Because the exchange happened so suddenly, he didn't have time to react and could only stare in shock at the black-haired boy standing in front of him.

"I already said that."

Sasuke Uchiha raised his head, his expression dark as he looked at Kisame Hoshigaki, who had returned to his side: "Under the gaze of the Rinnegan, you cannot escape..."

"..."

Kisame Hoshigaki's heart trembled violently.

A twelve-year-old brat…

Yet, he exuded a terrifying pressure!

Kisame Hoshigaki couldn't imagine how terrifying the other's chakra was. He felt his skin trembling, as if he were being watched by a god!

Do not…

It is the gaze of the gods!

The legendary Rinnegan was originally the eye of the Sage of Six Paths!

Uchiha Sasuke, this incredibly well-hidden brat, also possesses eyes like the Sage of Six Paths!

"Let me have some fun..."

"At least make a little more noise..."

Sasuke Uchiha didn't make a move, but simply stared at Kisame Hoshigaki before him, his voice sounding like a command: "Before you die, you may dance freely before me, as a final favor..."

"..."

Kisame Hoshigaki's eyes narrowed!

The tall, rogue ninja from Kirigakure suddenly brandished his Samehada sword. Despite the terrifying pressure, which was like an abyss, his swordsmanship remained exceptionally sharp!

Samehada bared its teeth and emerged from under the bandages, its sharp spikes slashing towards Sasuke Uchiha's body as if it wanted to slit Sasuke's throat!

"Shinra Tensei"

Sasuke Uchiha's face remained expressionless.

As Sasuke Uchiha uttered four words, a repulsive force suddenly erupted from his body, instantly sending Kisame Hoshigaki and his Samehada sword flying. The force also created a long trench in the ground!

"Cough...cough cough..."

Kisame Hoshigaki crashed into a tree, spitting out a mouthful of blood. A bitter smile appeared on his lips, stained with blood: "The difference... is really that big?"

Really...

This is a bit disheartening!

Kisame Hoshigaki had always believed that there might be a gap in power between ninjas, just like the gap between him and that mysterious masked man, but he never imagined that the gap between himself and Sasuke Uchiha would be this great...

Own…

They couldn't even withstand a single blow from their opponent!

"Get up quickly."

Sasuke Uchiha looked at Kisame Hoshigaki, whom he had just knocked away, and slowly formed hand seals, continuing to command in an icy voice, "I've given you the chance to dance to your heart's content. Make a big commotion here, at least let them know that it wasn't easy for me to deal with you..."

"Fire Release..."

"The great fire is extinguished!"

Uchiha Sasuke suddenly spat out a massive ball of flames in the direction of Kisame Hoshigaki, and the flames swept towards Kisame Hoshigaki like waves!

"Water Release·Water Formation Wall!"

Kisame Hoshigaki gritted his teeth, his fingers rapidly forming hand seals, a resolute glint in his eyes, and he opened his mouth to unleash a massive wall of water!

Neither he nor Samehada had time to absorb the chakra of this wave of fire!

There's simply no way to absorb it! This level of fire-style technique is far too powerful; if he hesitates even slightly, he could be burned to death!

however…

Even a water wall is no match for the mighty fire that extinguishes it!

The wall of water that was blocking the way was instantly evaporated by the flames. Kisame Hoshigaki felt the scorching fire and the water vapor rushing towards him, and in that instant he realized his opportunity!

This is an opportunity…

This is a chance to escape!

As long as I can escape while the fog is thick...

When it comes to the ability to escape or kill in the mist, no one in the entire ninja world can surpass the ninjas who grew up in Kirigakure. Kisame Hoshigaki is also very good at fighting in the mist!

however…

This opportunity was fleeting.

It could even be said that this opportunity may never have come at all.

Because when Kisame Hoshigaki had this thought, Sasuke Uchiha's voice appeared in the mist.

"Wind Release: Typhoon Passes"

A gust of wind swept by, instantly dispersing the fog completely.

Kisame Hoshigaki's heart sank to the bottom. This was the Wind Release technique of the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi. He never expected that Sasuke Uchiha, that brat, could use it.

There's no chance anymore.

The only chance…

Only the final, desperate battle remains!

"Water Release: Big Explosive Water Wave!"

Kisame Hoshigaki suddenly spat out a ball of water, his feet stepping on the rising waves, and the water in his mouth grew more and more abundant!

In an instant…

A giant water sphere appeared over the entire area!

Kisame Hoshigaki suddenly plunged into the water sphere and quickly grabbed Samehada, which was swimming inside the sphere. His body and Samehada merged together, and he began to evolve into a shark!

This is his strongest ability!

Once Kisame Hoshigaki can fuse with Samehada, his abilities in the water will be greatly enhanced, making him as strong as a shark in both speed and power!

even…

This enormous water sphere, as large as a lake, moved towards Sasuke Uchiha along with Kisame Hoshigaki, as if to engulf Sasuke within it…

Once it enters the water…

I may also have a chance to fight!

Sasuke Uchiha watched the water sphere moving towards him, and saw Kisame Hoshigaki swimming at high speed in the lake-like water sphere. He raised his palm and placed it on the water sphere.

"That brat..."

"So you actually want to fight me in the water?!"

A look of surprise appeared in Kisame Hoshigaki's eyes, but he couldn't care less. He instantly swam at high speed in the water and rushed towards Sasuke Uchiha's figure!

As long as I catch that brat...

Perhaps we'll have a chance to tear him to pieces in the water!

however…

When Kisame Hoshigaki rushed in front of Sasuke Uchiha, he saw a strange light flashing in the purple Rinnegan, which made Kisame's heart skip a beat.

"Is that all you've got?"

Sasuke Uchiha looked at Kisame Hoshigaki through the water curtain, his palm resting on the water sphere, his voice gradually becoming more polite: "Since you're using the Rinnegan to fight, you should at least be a little more elegant. Getting your clothes wet would just make you look a bit too disheveled..."

"..."

Kisame Hoshigaki was a little surprised.

grace…

What the hell is this?

When did ninja battles become associated with the word "elegance"?

Do not…

Ninja...

When did it become associated with elegance?

Even those two art-loving members of Akatsuki weren't exactly elegant in battle; they often ended up making a complete mess...

however…

Kisame Hoshigaki soon witnessed it.

"Sealing Technique Absorption Seal".

Uchiha Sasuke lightly touched the surface of the lake with his palm.

The water sphere, as large as a lake, began to shrink rapidly. It was being transformed back into chakra and absorbed by Uchiha Sasuke!

"!!!"

Kisame Hoshigaki's heart turned completely cold.

This is…

His abilities?

Do not…

This is the power of the Rinnegan!

Because Sasuke Uchiha absorbed chakra even faster than he and Samehada absorbed chakra, the water sphere, which was like a lake, was completely drained in an instant!

even…

Uchiha Sasuke even absorbed Kisame Hoshigaki's chakra!

Kisame Hoshigaki was completely unable to move and could only watch helplessly as Sasuke Uchiha placed his palm on his body and drained all of his chakra!

"How...is this possible..."

Kisame Hoshigaki's body slumped down, powerless.

it turns out…

Someone is absorbing my chakra!

As a member of the Hoshigaki clan and the wielder of the Samehada sword, Kisame Hoshigaki always relied on absorbing the chakra of others to fight. He never imagined that one day his own chakra would be drained...

"do not be afraid."

"Death can happen in an instant."

Sasuke Uchiha reached out and grabbed Kisame Hoshigaki's head, calmly speaking to soothe him as he uttered Kisame's new name: "You will soon possess my ability too, Preta Path Kisame..."
