While netizens in the real world marveled,
the shock of the in-game "natives" was even harder to contain.
Outside Kusagakure,
those unidentified foreign "visitors"
all did their utmost to conceal their presence.
They knew better than anyone just how powerful Kisame Hoshigaki was.
His ability to become a key operative of the Akatsuki spoke to his formidable strength.
Moreover, he was fierce and courageous. He had offended countless ninja villages and organizations yet still escaped unscathed, which was further proof of his strength.
Kisame Hoshigaki very rarely revealed his complete form.
Only when he encountered a tough opponent and prepared to slaughter them would he go all out.
There was no telling how many elite ninja he had killed fighting in this peak state.
Yet now, Kisame Hoshigaki at his peak had actually been sent flying with a single slap.
That meant this man had to be Kage Level.
He was even among the absolute strongest at Kage Level.
At the thought that their own strength made them no more than ants before him,
these foreign "visitors" watching in secret concealed their presence even more deeply.
They also understood that concealing their presence was of little use before such a powerful figure.
But that did not prevent them from showing their "respect" for the strong.
The Village Chief of Hidden Jun Village had very likely discovered their whereabouts long ago.
He simply had not made a move.
The foreign "visitors" all speculated about the reason.
Perhaps the Village Chief of Hidden Jun Village did not consider them worth his attention at all?
Or perhaps he was wary of their backgrounds and did not want to invite trouble?
Or perhaps the Village Chief of Hidden Jun Village had other plans and was waiting for the right moment to act?
Whatever
