Chapter 270

Kaito was controlling Susanoo to continuously clear the riffraff; in his view, this war was ready to come to an end.

The guys from the Akatsuki organization clearly had a policy of staying as still as a mountain when their allies were in trouble.

Moreover, Ōnoki had yet to show up, and in such a situation, Kaito really felt that this battlefield had come to its limit.

And the commander on-site from the Hidden Rock, Bungo, had been directly taken out by Kaito.

That guy had fought desperately, trying to do something—such spirit was indeed admirable.

But Kaito only held admiration for him because, on the battlefield, they could only be enemies.

Kaito could not possibly have any compassion for him, and besides, his death was unimaginable for the entire Rock ninja force.

"Hmm?"

However, just as Kaito thought he could almost leave and let the main forces of Konoha come in to clean up the aftermath,

Suddenly, he sensed a terrifying chakra burst in the sky, which made him immediately turn his head to look.

Sure enough, between the skies, a figure was floating there, with a blazing white light emerging in his palm.

When that terrifying light swept out in an instant, Kaito immediately felt a great crisis.

This power was definitely a fatal threat!

"Is this power... Dust Release?"

Kaito muttered to himself quickly, and at this moment, he suddenly felt as if he had jinxed himself.

Just a second ago, he was musing about how 'lonely it is to be invincible,' thinking these guys probably wouldn't show up and he could wrap things up.

The next second, Dust Release descended from the sky, looking like it was going to finish him off.

Such a discrepancy made Kaito involuntarily sigh a little.

And what made him feel a bit troubled was that the Akatsuki guys also started to move after seeing Ōnoki!

"It's time to make a move."

In the distance, Pain also suddenly spoke, his body slightly floating up as well.

Actually, at this moment, he also sensed that the old man Ōnoki had arrived, which did not quite please him.

Because what he wanted was to confront and even kill Uchiha Kaito alone!

Ōnoki's appearance would create a situation of encirclement, which was not what Nagato wished for.

However, the specifics of the battle strategy were not set in stone and could be discussed. Moreover, he had long known that the main forces of Konoha were lying in ambush not far away.

"It looks like it's time to get moving."

Orochimaru licked his tongue, looking at Pain who had already flown past in the sky, and immediately rushed forward.

Kisame and Sasori also moved quickly. Although strictly speaking, they really preferred to take down Kaito on their own.

But they were qualified ninjas; knowing they were outmatched, they would absolutely not rush to their deaths. They would use more ingenious methods to deal with any trouble.

"It's the Tsuchikage! It's the Tsuchikage!"

The Rock ninja forces, already on the verge of collapse, became overwhelmingly excited upon seeing the white light descending from the sky.

Because at this moment, they were sure they had been saved—because their Tsuchikage had come!

"Boom!"

A huge booming sound echoed across the land, and the power of Dust Release pierced through the earth.

Under this massive surge of energy, the ground collapsed instantly, and the intense dust spread over the entire land.

This scene involuntarily tensed up the distant forces of Konoha because they had all heard the sounds from Hidden Rock.

"Has Ōnoki arrived?"

Tsunade stared ahead with slightly closed eyes, and after a long while, she finally gave her orders.

"Everyone, prepare for battle. Shisui, Kakashi, and Kakuzu, you three be ready to move out at any moment to support and reinforce Division Chief Kaito."

"Yes!"

The three of them immediately responded, having been held back for too long.

Especially Kakuzu, who was already impatient. After all, if he didn't take part in the war, he feared he wouldn't earn a single penny.

"Has there been movement from Konoha?"

Ōnoki, flying in the sky, naturally noticed everything in the distance, but he didn't pay too much attention to it.

The members of the Akatsuki had finally made their move, and their power was something Ōnoki felt he could somewhat trust.

Moreover, his attention was entirely focused on Uchiha Kaito; he could feel that his attack had missed!

"Buzz"

Sure enough, the intense dust cloud was dispersed in the next second, and Kaito's figure had already appeared before his eyes.

Unharmed, those crimson eyes of his were like a demon staring down at all living beings.

"Uchiha Kaito"

Ōnoki spoke with a slightly hoarse voice, his chakra once again began to surge wildly.

But soon, he frowned slightly because he realized that the members of the Akatsuki had already come to his side.

"It's been a while, Chief Kaito."

Orochimaru licked his tongue slightly, playing his part to the hilt; this was something he was very good at.

"Uchiha Kaito."

Sasori and Kisame also stared at Kaito. They too had been harshly taught by Kaito, and they truly could not forget all that had happened.

Pain, however, remained hovering in the air, silently watching Kaito without uttering a word.

Yet his chakra was also gathering crazily, seemingly ready to make a move at any moment.

"I really didn't expect it. Lord Tsuchikage actually mixing with these Akatsuki folks."

Kaito walked slowly out of the smoke, a slight smile on his face, but his heart was also getting heavier.

Ōnoki, Pain, Orochimaru, Sasori, and Kisame—none of these five were easy to deal with.

And frankly speaking, each member of the Akatsuki possesses enough strength to qualify for the position of Kage in a village.

With the addition of Ōnoki, Kaito suddenly really felt like he was Uchiha Madara!

Uchiha Madara, after clearing out the riff-raff, then began to toy with the five Kage.

Moreover, he had almost brought the five Kage to the brink of a faith crisis by beating them badly. If it weren't for Uchiha Itachi interrupting his fun, perhaps all the Kage would have been wiped out.

But that was Uchiha Madara, the one with the power of the Rinnegan and who had mastered the use of the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan to the extreme.

Even if Kaito was confident in his own strength, facing these five individuals at once, he couldn't help but feel some trepidation.

"However, out of these five, perhaps only Ōnoki acts on his own convictions, the other four are unlikely to possess the will of the original five Kage."

Kaito's eyes slowly rotated, his chakra also began to brew once again.

"Moreover, among these four, there's Orochimaru; but be wary if he has devised a new Edo Tensei.

Also, Nagato only brought the Deva Path Pain, which means he lacks other abilities.

Most importantly, Shisui and the others are also beginning to come closer, which is good for me.

Since that's the case,"

After quickly analyzing the pros and cons, Kaito once again spoke calmly.

"But it doesn't matter anymore, if you instigate this war, you should be prepared for the backlash.

Are you ready now?"

"The one with honeyed words, do you not have any idea how this war broke out?"

Ōnoki, hearing Kaito's words, remained incredibly calm and clenched his fist as he shouted loudly.

"Don't try to find any reason or excuse; that would only lower my opinion of you.

The sins you have committed are too numerous to record, everyone has seen your evil.

Don't think that just because you have power you can do whatever you want, the ninja world has never been a place where you can act at will!

The crimes you have committed against Iwagakure, we will surely demand retribution in full!"

Ōnoki's words were thunderous, and with the aid of his chakra, his voice covered the entire field.

One has to say that this old man is indeed far more experienced than that guy, Bungo. With his talk of avoiding the important and dwelling on the trivial.

Not only did he greatly boost the morale of Iwagakure, but he also shifted all the blame onto Kaito.

What's more crucial is that Ōnoki didn't give Kaito any chance to speak. With his hands, he unceremoniously formed seals, and terrifying chakra burst forth once again.

"Earth Release: Arms of Stone!"

His hand-seal speed was so fast it was impossible to see clearly, and in less than a second, he had completed the jutsu.

Beneath Kaito, the ground began to tremble wildly, and the next second, a gigantic stone arm burst forth from the earth and viciously reached out to grab him.

"Hmph!"

Kaito snorted coldly, his chakra moved slightly, and he instantly activated a body flicker technique.

"Boom!"

The giant stone arm suddenly grabbed at nothing, while Kaito's figure appeared above this arm.

By this time, Kisame had also completed his hand seals. Clearly learning from the last fight with Kaito, he wouldn't advance a half step unless it was absolutely necessary.

"Water Release: Great Shark Bullet Technique!"

A giant shark quickly formed with Kisame's chakra burst and furiously attacked Kaito.

"Is this little trick really a threat to me?"

Kaito raised an eyebrow, scoffing disdainfully, then leapt up. But just at that moment, Orochimaru had already rushed in front of him.

In his hand, the Sword of Kusanagi appeared at some point, its blade emitting a cold light as it ferociously stabbed towards Kaito.

Kaito's eyes flickered slightly, and the next moment his body gently twisted to dodge the sure-hit strike in mid-air!

Orochimaru seemed to have anticipated that his attack wouldn't be very effective against Kaito, so he once again swung the Sword of Kusanagi at Kaito.

However, this time he was shocked to find that his arm had been caught by Kaito, and the next moment Kaito quickly raised his head.

"This is bad!"
