Chapter 273

Although they continuously relied on ninjutsu to attempt to compress Kaito's range of movement, the effect they achieved was quite mediocre.

Strictly speaking, their lineup really wasn't inferior to the one where Uchiha Madara, nine years later, single-handedly took on the Five Kage.

Even in terms of individual strength and the diversity of their abilities, they might be stronger than the future Five Kage.

But the problem is, all five of them are strong in terms of technique; none of them are top-notch assaulters like the Fourth Raikage.

Of course, if Kisame were willing to endure, it's not that he couldn't attempt it.

The issue is, they also lacked a top-tier medical ninja like Tsunade who could completely aid in recovering from their own injuries.

Under such circumstances, naturally, Kisame dared not step forward, because doing so might be suicidal.

Besides, their team cohesion wasn't great; at least Orochimaru didn't use the Edo Tensei to disgust Kaito this time.

Most crucially, they didn't have the conviction of the future Five Kage!

With such various external factors compounded, they didn't pose much trouble for Kaito.

Even if he was continuously assaulted by ninjutsu and had to face the most dangerous Dust Release,

Kaito could continuously evade by relying on his own mobility and strike back!

From the moment the six of them fully engaged in the battle, the earth's trembling never ceased, and everyone watched in awe at everything unfolding before them.

Looking at the rivers that appeared out of nowhere like the sea, watching the sky full of black sand spread continuously.

And the occasional white columns of light, and the terrifying black flames that fell like divine punishment.

Such a scene was incredibly shocking, but it also made them somewhat numb.

Now they were just doubting one thing: whether they could be considered qualified ninjas at all.

Because they now felt that a ninja should perhaps be like these six individuals.

With a wave of a hand, mountains collapse and the earth cracks, a casual ninjutsu possessing an unimaginably vast range and power.

Compared to these six, were they not quite worthy of the title of ninja?

"Should we go up there?"

While Kaito and his group were fighting fiercely, the three from Shisui who were relatively close to them seemed a bit lost.

Joining the battlefield, they could certainly provide help, but the problem was Kaito's current size and the vast range of his attacks.

Once they entered, who knew if they would end up hitting themselves.

Moreover, Kaito's performance could be said to be more than adequate, although it felt a bit like using a cannon to kill a mosquito.

But each of his attacks forced Ōnoki and the others into a frantic state, even occasionally launching surprise attacks on the Iwagakure main forces.

Overall, Kaito seemed to have no problem at all.

If they were to rush forward rashly, it's hard to say whether they would cause some trouble for Kaito.

It was based on this situation that Kakuzu couldn't help but speak up and ask.

"Let's observe for a bit; it's best not to act rashly."

Shisui hesitated for a moment before finally speaking.

As someone who also possessed Susanoo, he of course knew that during a Susanoo battle, sometimes having one's own people around was not a good thing.

Because the power of Susanoo was too strong, and the range it covered during attacks was too great.

That's why he chose to stop now; he didn't want to cause trouble for Kaito.

In addition, seeing Kaito's Susanoo at this moment, Shisui was somewhat excited inside.

He knew about Kaito's eyes; they had already broken through the limits of the Sharingan.

According to Kaito himself, his eyes were now in the perfect state of the Sharingan, or they could even be called the Eternal Eyes.

It was only normal for such eyes to unleash such power, even capable of activating such a Susanoo!

But these were minor issues. Shisui was not surprised by the power displayed by Kaito; such power would only motivate him to keep moving forward even more.

And he was also considering one thing: how to help Kaito end the war more quickly.

His idea was simple: to attack the group of Iwa-nin who had already run to the rear!

However, getting to the rear was not an easy task; they had to take a detour to get there.

Moreover, after getting there, Shisui was not sure if the three of them could handle the Iwa-nin army.

Although the main force of Iwagakure had been largely demoralized by Kaito's assault, and their numbers had been severely reduced.

The problem was that Ōnoki, the old man, had arrived; he was the pillar of faith for the Iwagakure army.

With him present, it's possible that the morale of the Iwagakure troops had been somewhat restored, and perhaps their combat strength had recovered a bit as well.

At this time, if Shisui and the others ran over, it would be a true penetration into the enemy's rear, and who knows if Ōnoki and his forces would become even more frantic.

However, this was the only option he could think of that could best handle the current battle situation!

Just thinking about these things, he also needed to inform the other two. Kakashi and Kakuzu were both very strong, otherwise Tsunade would not have let them follow her.

Especially Kakuzu, who was personally brought back by Kaito; his abilities were absolutely trustworthy.

Thinking of this, Shisui spoke in a low voice, "Actually, I have an idea, a very dangerous one."

"What idea?" Kakashi immediately asked upon hearing Shisui's words.

Although Shisui used to be a member of the Anbu, and Kakashi held a much higher position than Shisui.

But now, Shisui was no longer an Anbu member; he was now the deputy head of the Uchiha clan and even had considerable influence within the security department.

Most importantly, Shisui also possessed eyes as powerful as Kaito's!

Kakashi did not know many secrets about the Sharingan, he even didn't know what level his own eyes had reached now.

But he knew that Shisui was no longer the Shisui of the past, and even subconsciously, he regarded Shisui as the captain of the squad.

"Just speak up, I've been wanting to get moving for a while."

Kakuzu also spoke up on the side, whether he really wanted to move or was worried about not getting paid if Kaito ended the fight without him, was unknown.

But his attitude was clear, and that attitude gave Shisui a lot of reassurance.

"I want to head to the main forces of Iwagakure."

Shisui didn't beat around the bush; he directly stated his intention.

"You both know, doing this is very dangerous, but the current situation is such that, on the front lines, it's difficult for us to make any moves.

Even if we force our way, it might lead to some negative consequences.

So my idea is to go around to the back and give those Iwa-nin troops some trouble!"

Shisui 's words caused both Kakuzu and Kakashi to frown slightly, as they both understood just how dangerous this plan could be.

After a brief silence, Kakuzu spoke up directly.

"I'm blunt and hope you don't mind, I know there's a big gap between you and the boss's strength, but I want to know,"

Kakuzu looked at Shisui very seriously and asked with gravity.

"Can I achieve what the boss did before, or do you have confidence that you can inflict massive casualties on Iwagakure?"

"I'm not sure, that's why I need your help."

Shisui's expression was also very serious as he quickly replied.

"But my Susanoo can also reach the third stage, which is the state Kaito was in before."

"That's enough for me, I hope you are not lying."

Kakuzu nodded, having seen Shisui activate that state before; maintaining that state during an attack could definitely suppress the Iwa-nin.

"I agree, I can join you."

"I have no objections either."

Kakashi also nodded at this moment, saying with utmost seriousness.

"I can coordinate and support your actions, this is war, and it's my duty!"

Kaito had no idea what Shisui and the others were planning, but he noticed that the three had slowed down and then saw them running towards the flank.
