276 Chapter 276

However, compared to Kaito, Ōnoki's worries were the most severe.

At this moment, he was almost grinding his teeth to pieces because those people were the precious talents of their village.

There was a moment when he truly struggled to suppress his impulse to stop paying attention to Kaito and instead turn around to support his main forces.

But he was clearer on the fact that once he left, these members of the Akatsuki might truly stop dealing with Kaito.

The five of them together were already struggling like this; if he were to leave now, it was possible that these Akatsuki members might just take the opportunity to flee!

He could only forcefully suppress his emotions now; he had to resolve the situation with Uchiha Kaito as quickly as possible.

Because only by doing so, could he go to support his own people!

"We need a quick resolution!"

Ōnoki's voice at this moment sounded terribly grim, he spoke in a low voice to the Akatsuki members.

"You all see the situation now; there is another Uchiha behind us who can use Susanoo.

If they turn back and besiege us, we probably won't be able to hold them off!

Only by dealing with Uchiha Kaito, by resolving him, do we have a chance to turn defeat into victory.

I know you don't have any faith, nor do you have any will that must fight.

But as hired ninjas, what you want is money.

I can promise you, regardless of the outcome of the war, I will give you more than five times the payment.

Right now, I only have one request, give it your all to cooperate with me, to create some opportunities for me.

His technique just now was very strong, capable of blocking the Original World Peel technique, but I have even stronger techniques I haven't used yet.

I need your cooperation, your full cooperation!"

Ōnoki spoke very forcefully, but he also exposed his inner thoughts, which was his saying 'regardless of victory or defeat.'

Normally, a sly fox like Ōnoki would never say something like that.

But at this moment, the pressure on him was too great, or perhaps it was Uchiha Kaito's strength that was too formidable, he no longer had the confidence to say that he could certainly win.

Of course, it could also be that he was demonstrating his determination, telling the people of the Akatsuki his promise.

But regardless of which it was, the members of the Akatsuki didn't take it to heart; what they were more concerned about was the matter of money.

The Akatsuki needed development, which naturally required money for support.

And like Orochimaru and Sasori, such individuals also needed sufficient funds to satisfy their experimental needs.

Therefore, at the moment Ōnoki made his promise, they had actually reached a tacit agreement in their hearts.

Even Nagato, who called himself a god, nodded slightly at this moment.

"We can cooperate with you, but you have to remember your words."

After saying this, Nagato controlled Pain to look at the others. Although the three did not respond, Nagato still got his answer.

"Buy me some time."

Nagato spoke again, and Pain had already raised his hands, with terrifying chakra frantically condensing.

"I have prepared a big gift for him!"

"If that's the case."

Orochimaru licked his tongue lightly, then holding the Kusanagi Sword, he charged out directly.

"Let's go, everyone!"

"Hmph, really seeking death."

Kisame watched Orochimaru's movements and couldn't help but snort coldly, then he quickly formed hand seals.

"Suiton: Dai Bakusui Shōha!"

With the burst of his chakra, the heavens and earth seemed to be dyed a deep blue.

In the terrifying sound of a tsunami, a massive torrent of water crazily surged towards Kaito.

Kaito immediately leaped up upon seeing this scene, and it was at this moment that Orochimaru, like riding the wind and breaking the waves, arrived in front of Kaito.

His hand-held Kusanagi Sword was emitting a blue glow, thrusting fiercely towards Kaito.

Kaito's eyes flashed slightly, and he easily avoided Orochimaru's attack.

But just then, Orochimaru's voice also entered his ears.

"Be careful, Chief Kaito, this time everyone is serious.

Even our leader is gathering strength."

Orochimaru's warning made Kaito raise his eyebrows, he quickly said in a low voice.

"Take care of yourself, I am also going to go all out."

After speaking, Kaito kicked Orochimaru away, but it seemed Orochimaru didn't have any reaction at all.

His mind was still echoing Kaito's words, which was the thing he was most interested in.

And Kaito did not fall into the water, Kisame's water-style jutsu also really left a deep impression on him.

However, Kaito had also begun to gather his own strength, Orochimaru's words he still had to take seriously.

Especially since Nagato had started to exert effort, this was even more worthy of attention.

"Just right, I also want to see, if I use Senjutsu and Great Annihilation on top of the fourth stage of Susanoo, what kind of result it will be!"

Kaito thought rapidly in his heart, and just at that moment, those black grains of sand suddenly emerged from the water, those magnet-like grains even the water-style could not wash away.

Sasori controlled these grains of sand to directly cover Kaito's body, but also at that moment, Kaito's body manifested a deep blue chakra.

These grains of sand did not touch him, but they indeed entangled him.

"Is it ready yet? This guy is about to use Susanoo again!"

Sasori shouted loudly at Pain who was beside him, he did not believe he could withstand Kaito's offensive.

And Nagato at this time did not pay attention to him, but he also controlled Pain to raise his hand.

In his hand, a chakra sphere highly condensed into a black orb quietly appeared, its powerful gravitational pull starting to manifest at that moment.

"Hmm?"

Kaito, who was at a distance, naturally noticed all this, and at that moment he also knew what exactly Nagato was about to do.

"Almighty Push!"

Pain raised his hand and thrust forward fiercely, sending the black sphere hurtling towards Kaito.

At this moment, the earth began to tremble violently.

"Boom!"

In an instant, the roaring sound was incessant, and countless fragments of rock from the already battle-damaged earth were forcefully pulled up.

These fragments of rock quickly surrounded Kaito, then completely enveloped him!

"What on earth is this jutsu?"

In the distance, within the main forces of Konoha, Tsunade was left agape at the sight of this jutsu, even though she had already been sufficiently shocked today.

And the others were likewise watching all this in disbelief, especially as the sphere grew larger and the ground shook more violently, a deep crater had already appeared before them!

Onoki was also shaken by everything before his eyes, he took a deep look at Pain, then began forming hand seals without a word.

Immense chakra was rapidly converging inside him, and at the same time, inside the "Almighty Push," Kaito was also quietly undergoing a change.

"It is indeed the jutsu used by the Sage of Six Paths to seal Kaguya Otsutsuki; even when used by someone like Nagato, it is terrifying indeed."

Kaito thought silently, a strange shadow appeared over his face, and his power was also intensifying wildly.

Those huge rocks did not truly touch him, because he was still covered with the power of the Susanoo.

This time he was really prepared to go all out, although he knew that doing so would likely exhaust his strength, especially since his fight with Uchiha Madara had given him experience.

However, with the power of the Alistar, he could still maintain a bit of strength, especially since he also wanted to see if he really had such an ace up his sleeve!

"Susanoo, activate!"

Kaito's Eternal Mangekyō began to spin crazily, blood trailing down from his eyes. He kept his hands in a hand-seal stance, as a deep blue brilliance flashed continuously on his body.

"Boom!"

With that violent roar, the Almighty Push that Nagato had just condensed was directly burst by Susanoo!

"Dust Release: Detachment of the Primitive World Technique!"

Onoki completed his jutsu at this moment, and the terrifying column of light rushed straight towards Kaito.

However, this time Kaito did not dodge, an unprecedented terrifying surge of chakra welled up within him.

The fully mature Susanoo expanded to an incredible size, a chilling chakra emanating from him.

"Boom!"

The column of light struck Susanoo, and under such an attack, Susanoo was instantly damaged.

But under Kaito's powerful chakra, his Susanoo remained stable.

At this moment, he had activated the power of Annihilation, as well as a firm will.

Under Onoki's incredulous gaze, the Susanoo continuously shattered and then reformed, its body suddenly shot up to over a hundred meters tall.

Even more terrifying was that, as he moved using Dust Release to try and attack the Susanoo's head, where Kaito was located,

A phantom of armor suddenly appeared on the Susanoo, and an enormous helmet materialized on its head.

"Seal!"

With a shout from Kaito, the chakra of Susanoo solidified, the armor completely covering it, and two energy longswords appeared crossed behind, quietly resting in their scabbards.

At this moment, the power of Dust Release could no longer penetrate Susanoo's body.

Even though it had attacked the location where Kaito was, it still couldn't pose any threat to Kaito!

And at this moment, the visage of Susanoo was crystal clear, as if a ferocious deity from a temple, fierce and terrifying, making one feel terror at a single glance.

Onoki and the four members of the Akatsuki stared blankly at this scene, even Onoki let his hands fall helplessly.

He subconsciously took a step back, cold sweat slowly dripping from his forehead, as he seemed to see once again that defiant man.

"Is this the power of the Uchiha?"

Orochimaru licked his lips, filled with excitement at this moment, yet his body shuddered with the excitement.

He seemed to understand what Kaito meant by 'take good care of yourself.'

Kisame and Sasori were rendered speechless at this point, realizing they were unable to utter a single word.

Even Nagato, who considered himself a god, seemed lost in a daze at this moment, apparently not understanding what had just happened.

"It seems, this is as far as you go."

Kaito's indifferent voice rang out once more as he stood with his arms crossed inside the crystal cabin on Susanoo's forehead.

He felt he might have exerted himself too much; even his robust physique was now extremely weakened.

Indeed, power must be obtained step by step.

Even the fifth stage of Susanoo, even when activated by various means, was not so easily controlled.

However, his mood was still very good at this time; he calmly looked at these five people, and suddenly he revealed a slight smile.

"Let me ask you a question, have you ever experienced despair?"

Without waiting for these people to respond, Kaito made his move.

In the next instant, Susanoo drew its ninja sword, and the world seemed to tilt! The blade swept across with apocalyptic force, the earth roared, and amidst the billowing dust, a chasm so deep it seemed bottomless appeared on the ground.

And in the distance, two mountain peaks simultaneously fractured, their cuts smooth, falling to the earth with thunderous crashes.
