Starting with Wood Release, he survives in Konoha Hospital and becomes a big shot.

The Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, originally wanted to argue with the opposing Hokage, but seeing that the other two families had already agreed, he didn't say anything more, nodded, and thus confirmed his goal.

"Now that everyone agrees to unite against the Yao Tian Organization, things will be much easier. We just need to discuss the contributions of the major powers," said the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, a slight sense of relief in his heart.

To be honest, among everyone present, he was the only one who was most eager to eliminate the Yao Tian organization, because the pressure of destroying Root was too great for him. If he didn't handle it well, he might lose his chance to become Hokage.

Chapter 285 The Five Kage Summit (Part 2)

"Then let's discuss how to deal with the Yaotian Organization, they..." The Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, saw that the other three parties had reached a consensus, so he stopped making things difficult for Hiruzen Sarutobi.

However, before he could finish speaking, Kisame Hoshigaki interrupted him.

"It seems none of you consulted me," Kisame Hoshigaki said with a light laugh, his small eyes scanning the four Kage present.

"You? What do you know, you little brat? You don't need to have any opinions, just listen to us." The Third Raikage said coldly.

With his fiery temper, he already looked down on Kisame Hoshigaki, who had just become the Mizukage. And now, Kisame had dared to presumptuously offer his opinion, so he immediately snapped back.

“That’s right. You just became the Mizukage, what right do you have to talk to us? We can decide this matter ourselves, you just listen from the side.” Onoki showed no mercy whatsoever.

The Land of Water was already the weakest of the Five Great Nations, and now with a new Mizukage, its status among the Five Kage is naturally the lowest, and no one takes this new Mizukage seriously.

Especially considering the current situation, Kisame Hoshigaki seems to be a puppet of some old guy from the Land of Water, and there's no need to take him seriously.

“Young people should listen more. As for the rest, let us old folks decide,” the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, said slowly.

"Heh, so this is what the so-called Five Kage Summit is all about. I've really seen it all." Kisame Hoshigaki sneered.

While the five great nations appear to be equal on the surface, they are actually ranked according to their strength. The Land of Water is the weakest and is therefore at the mercy of others.

In fact, even if it weren't Kisame Hoshigaki who came here today, but the Third Mizukage, the outcome would have been similar.

Strength reigns supreme; that's the essence of it all.

"If it weren't for the fact that you're the Fourth Mizukage, you wouldn't even have the right to sit here and talk to us," the Third Raikage said coldly, looking at Kisame Hoshigaki.

"So, if I understand correctly, you mean that whoever is stronger has the right to speak, right?" Kisame Hoshigaki asked.

“That’s right,” the Third Hokage said calmly.

Among the five great nations, the Land of Fire is the strongest. As the Third Hokage, he naturally has the most influence here, while the Land of Water can only listen in.

Moreover, the Land of Water is isolated overseas and its connection with the Ninja World is not that close, so people really don't take the Land of Water seriously.

"With such power, it seems one really can do whatever they want, so..."

Bang!

Kisame Hoshigaki suddenly made his move, a long sword covered in barbs suddenly appearing in his hand, which he then hurled without hesitation at the Third Raikage who was not far away.

With a deafening roar, the Third Raikage was enveloped in blue lightning. The table was shattered by the massive sword, but the Third Raikage managed to block the sudden and powerful attack using his extreme speed and defense.

shhhhhh...

The next moment, several figures shot out like lightning, each landing beside the shadow of their respective country.

"Fourth Mizukage, do you know what you're doing? You're starting a war!" the Raikage's guards roared, their faces grim.

Kisame Hoshigaki attacked too quickly, so quickly that they couldn't react in time. And who would have thought that this guy, who had just succeeded as the Fourth Mizukage, would be so audacious as to make a move at the Five Kage Summit?

And the large sword in his hand—if I'm not mistaken, it's Samehada, the sword of Kisame Hoshigaki, one of the original Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist. But wasn't that sword lost? We didn't see anyone from the Land of Water using it during the entire Third Shinobi World War, so how did it end up in Kisame's hands?

But these doubts were quickly forgotten by everyone, because they all realized a very serious problem.

Where does Samehada, the greatsword, come from?

This ninja sword is so big that it's impossible to hide it on someone's person. Even if it were sealed in a scroll, it would require a hand seal to retrieve it. But just now, Kisame Hoshigaki's greatsword Samehada appeared directly without any hand seals.

This is the fundamental reason why no one reacted in time.

"You brat, so ignorant of your place! Do you think the Five Kage Summit is a place for you to run wild?" The Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, was now suspended in mid-air, and his two guards rushed out from behind the Land of Earth's flag to block his way.

Everyone's expressions were rather grim, especially Lei Ying. If it weren't for the others, he might have already made his move.

Of course, there was another reason why he didn't retaliate immediately: he was unsure of Kisame's strength. Kisame's ability to conjure up the Samehada sword out of thin air just now made him very wary.

"Isn't this the rule you set?" Kisame Hoshigaki sheathed his Samehada sword, but instead of putting it away, he simply slung it over his shoulder with one hand, looking at the extremely aloof Kage with a provocative expression.

"Strength is the foundation of a voice. Without strength, you have no right to speak here. That's the lesson you've taught me," Kisame Hoshigaki said with a sneer.

“Now that I have proven my strength, shouldn’t it be my turn to speak?” Kisame Hoshigaki glanced at the person in charge of the meeting, Mifune, the leader of the Land of Iron.

The old man frowned, but ultimately remained silent.

Indeed, those with great strength have the right to speak.

The other kage had intended to give the newly appointed Fourth Mizukage a hard time, but they ended up being outmaneuvered instead.

His speed was so fast that even the Third Raikage couldn't react, let alone anyone else. It's best not to provoke someone like that, because no one knows what he might do next.

The Hokage and the others exchanged glances but didn't say anything more.

“Very well, then my opinion is to directly join the Yao Tian Organization, end the long-term division of the Ninja World Continent, achieve final unification, and end the endless war.” Kisame Hoshigaki said, looking at everyone.

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone looked at Kisame Hoshigaki as if he were a madman.

Join the Yaotian organization?

Are you kidding me?

Leaving aside Konoha, who has a grudge against the Yaotian Organization, would the other individuals willingly relinquish their power and submit to others?

That's simply impossible!

What the First Hokage couldn't accomplish, no one will ever be able to do in the future.

"He really is just a little kid, having such a dream, it's utterly ridiculous!"

The Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, scoffed.

The Hokage and Raikage also shook their heads, their faces full of cold smiles.

Chapter 286 Yao Tianlin

When Kisame Hoshigaki suddenly attacked them, they initially thought the newly appointed Mizukage had some guts and dared to take a strong stance to gain a voice. But now, they realized he was nothing special; he actually wanted to join the Yao Tian organization. Had he gone mad?

"You've pledged allegiance to Yao Tian? You intend to become our enemy?" the Third Hokage asked coldly.

As soon as the words were spoken, Jiraiya and Sakumo Hatake were already standing in front of Hiruzen Sarutobi, their chakra surging forth and unleashing a terrifying pressure.

The situation was similar in the other countries; their respective guards had all appeared, and each of them looked extremely vigilant, ready to strike at any moment.

The Five Kage Summit, which was originally scheduled to take place, suddenly became tense and hostile.

"You can't really be considered enemies, after all, you're not qualified to be enemies of Yaotian," Kisame Hoshigaki said with a sneer. "Compared to the divine messengers of the Yaotian organization, all of you here are trash!"

"presumptuous!"

The Earth Shadow's face was so dark it looked like it could be wrung out of water. This was the first time someone had called him trash to his face.

The other Kage from the other countries also looked grim. Having lived for so long, as one of the strongest ninjas in the ninja world, they had always been at the pinnacle of the ninja world, revered by countless people. Yet, they were being called trash. No one could tolerate Kisame Hoshigaki's arrogance.

"Let me tell you what it means to respect your teacher and honor the Way!"

As soon as the Third Tsuchikage finished speaking, he disregarded all other consequences and immediately began to perform a ninjutsu by forming hand seals.

"Dust Release: Particle Style: Detachment Technique!"

Onoki showed no mercy, immediately unleashing his strongest technique, Blood Elimination Dust Release.

He wasn't afraid of accidentally killing Kisame Hoshigaki, the Fourth Mizukage. If it were really that simple, that would be a good thing.

The fact that a Mizukage could be killed so easily only shows how incompetent he is. The Land of Water wouldn't go to war with the Land of Earth for someone like that.

hum!

As Onoki finished forming the hand seals, a white, semi-transparent cube appeared in his palm, and at the same time, an identical cube enveloped Kisame Hoshigaki within it.

"Die!" Onoki sneered, his powerful chakra surging wildly. In less than a second, he could decompose Kisame Hoshigaki, who was trapped inside, into atoms.

The guards who followed him, Yagura and Zabuza Momochi, had solemn expressions but did not make a move rashly.

"They're probably here by now. We can't withstand facing the Kage-level powerhouses from four major nations at the same time!" Yagura thought to himself.

At this moment, they were both being watched by people from Kumogakure, Konoha, and Sunagakure. If they made the slightest move, two or three Kage-level shinobi would immediately attack them. Under such circumstances, they had no way to help Kisame Hoshigaki.

"Flowers bloom in a prosperous age, nurtured by the hearts of people!"

Suddenly, a detached voice appeared in the hall of the Five Kage Summit, and the next moment, a dark purple peony suddenly appeared in mid-air.

The purple peony petals fell from the sky, quickly coalescing into a handsome figure.

The expressions of the others also changed drastically at that moment.

The voice, the tone of the speech, and the meaning behind those words all conveyed the same message to them.

The man has arrived!

"Dust Release: Limit Separation Technique!"

The instant Ming Shiyin's figure appeared, he raised his right hand, which was also a semi-transparent Dust Release Blood Trace Elimination, but it transformed into a cylinder and directly slammed into Onoki, who was suspended in mid-air.

"What? How is this possible?"

Everyone was shocked, especially Onoki and the two guards from the Land of Earth.

Dust Release is the Bloodline Elimination technique, derived from the transformation of three chakra natures. Apart from the Tsuchikage lineage, no one else can use it. It is one of the Land of Earth's trump cards, and the existence of the Bloodline Elimination Dust Release is indispensable to the Tsuchikage's strength.

But at this moment, Ming Shiyin casually unleashed Dust Release, which was not only faster than Onoki's attack but also more lethal.

Swish!

Without any hesitation, the Dust Release technique originally aimed at Kisame Hoshigaki was suddenly redirected by Onoki towards the incoming semi-transparent beam of light.

With a deafening roar, Onoki's Dust Release was broken, and then a semi-transparent beam of light pierced through it almost silently, leaving a perfectly round hole in the wall of the conference room.

The snowflakes drifted in slowly, making everyone's faces turn pale.

This is indeed Dust Release, and it is a Limit Separation Technique that is even stronger than the Primordial World Separation Technique.

Onoki had already fallen to the ground. He barely managed to avoid the semi-transparent beam of light by using the explosion caused by the collision of the two Dust Release techniques. Otherwise, he would probably be ashes by now.
