Chapter 272

With these thoughts, Kaito knew what to do; he began to earnestly construct his own Susanoo.

With his eyes tightly shut, his left eye was spinning rapidly, and the chakra within his body became chaotic.

At this moment, Kaito unexpectedly found himself entering a strange space!

In this bizarre world interwoven with black and red, a giant clad in ancient armor, with a body glowing in deep blue and eyes flickering with silver light, silently gazed at him.

The profound, dark, and terrifyingly cold aura was constantly assaulting his mind, and the quietly standing figure, filled with terrible power, sent chills down Kaito's spine.

Yet, while he felt frightened, Kaito also felt a sense of closeness because the power within this giant originated from the same source as his; the giant's power was his power!

"Is this my complete Susanoo?" Kaito murmured to himself, and the next moment, he reached out his hand.

As he moved, the Susanoo, radiating with a deep blue brilliance, also extended its hand.

When the two hands, one large and one small, touched each other, a wave of chakra so shocking that even Kaito felt overwhelmed was transmitted into his body!

The chakra was so intense, so pure in its quality.

This terrifying chakra made Kaito feel as if he could not control it.

But this was only a feeling because this chakra belonged to him!

At this moment, Kaito clearly felt the earth begin to tremble wildly, and the chakra within him became even more fearsome.

He slightly opened his eyes, and the eternal eye involuntarily began to rotate.

The incoming chakra quickly transformed his own Susanoo, rapidly gathering at the lower half to form leg bones, and also veins and flesh appeared!

And at this moment, Kaito realized that he was in a crystal-like container, and his position was at the top of Susanoo's head.

"Is this the fourth stage of Susanoo?" Kaito whispered to himself, quietly feeling his own power, his smile becoming brighter.

"But this space is still too small, Susanoo can't fully unfold, so..."

Thinking this, Kaito's eyes focused, and the next moment, the giant's body strained, and the giant snakes and black sand that were wrapped around him snapped off.

With the roaring of chakra, the Water Release that enveloped him completely shattered, and at this moment, he threw a fierce punch!

"This chakra..."

Outside, Ōnoki and the others also felt a surge of even more terrifying chakra stirring at this moment.

Their expressions turned ugly in an instant; this chakra was even more suffocating than before!

"Boom!"

The next second, the ground abruptly shattered, and a gigantic fist forcefully blasted through the earth.

Following that, a huge figure leaped from underground.

This figure stayed mid-air, and its size was still increasing. Susanoo can be said to be the forbidden power of the Uchiha clan.

Only by activating the Mangekyō Sharingan can this power be unlocked, which is also called the power of gods.

Susanoo symbolizes destruction, and the most terrifying thing is that very few people who have seen it have managed to survive.

However, since each person's Mangekyō Sharingan abilities are different, the appearance of Susanoo and the techniques it uses are also not the same.

But with this experience, Kaito seemed to have realized that Susanoo has always been there; he just never truly 'saw' it!

"Could it be that Susanoo actually exists within every member of the Uchiha clan, or should I say, it is the guardian deity of the Uchiha clan?"

Kaito silently contemplated this in his heart, while his body began to rise gradually, and the size of Susanoo continued to grow.

Only when Kaito's Susanoo had fully grown to nearly a hundred meters did he let Susanoo stop.

It's not that he didn't want to continue to enhance his Susanoo, but he already felt that his right eye was starting to tire.

However, his left eye was far from reaching its limit, which made Kaito realize that he could actually go further.

Nevertheless, he needed to sufficiently understand the new stage of Susanoo, and it was best to reach that stage step by step.

Of course, if really pushed, Kaito was not without means to forcefully activate the fifth stage.

After all, he still had Sage Mode as a support, not to mention the power of 'Great Annihilation'!

"Not a bad trick, but this level is far from enough."

Kaito looked indifferently at the guys in front of him, his voice carrying very far.

Shisui, Kakashi, and Kakuzu had already slowed down, maintaining a safe distance, ready to support Kaito at any time.

Meanwhile, the army of Konoha had completely run out from the tunnels; they were also slowly moving towards the battlefield.

Moreover, Kaito could feel that, with the appearance of Susanoo at this moment, the morale of the Konoha side had almost reached its peak.

Conversely, the situation for Iwagakure was much worse.

However, Kaito did not pay too much attention to these things, his chakra was boiling wildly, and his hands had begun to form seals rapidly.

Similarly, under his guidance, Susanoo also began to form seals quickly.

In an instant, a power vast as a sea of smoke began to surge, and black and white flames bizarrely spewed out from Susanoo in the air!

"Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation Technique!"

The scorching flames spread wildly, as if the entire space was about to be ignited.

Even though Ōnoki and the others were not sensory-type ninja, they could feel the terrifying power contained in this Fire Release at this moment.

The next moment, the flames touched the ground and then exploded completely, turning the whole world into a sea of fire!

All the shinobi from Iwagakure watched this scene dumbfounded; beyond the black flames, they could see nothing else, and the deadly heatwave was even more overwhelming.

"Such power..."

Looking at the sea of fire in front of him, even Nagato flying in the air felt his scalp tingle.

In fact, the moment Kaito broke through the encirclement and led the chakra giant to become even more colossal, he already wanted to make a move.

It's just that he still maintained the idea in his heart that he was a god, restraining his own impulse.

Nagato is definitely a proud person, and it was because of his sufficient pride that he did not bring the other manifestations with him.

In his view, no matter how strong that so-called Uchiha Kaito was, a single manifestation of Tendō (Deva Path) should be enough to restrain him.

However, now he felt that he might have underestimated this Uchiha Kaito.

This guy's power was truly beyond imagination; the strength he possessed was definitely not something an ordinary ninja could have.

Now, Nagato could no longer restrain himself; he had to take action and do something.

Especially since he had heard what Sasori had said earlier, if he did not act now, there might be problems within the Akatsuki organization.

"I am a god, and there is absolutely no mistake about that.

But now my power is not complete; I've used less than half of my strength.

Even if I join hands with these guys, it's no big deal!"

Nagato quickly finished building his resolve internally, and the next moment he swiftly raised his hand.

"Shinra Tensei!"

Nagato let out an angry shout, and the next moment an inexplicable repulsive force appeared between heaven and earth.

This strong repulsive force directly blocked Kaito's flames, making it impossible for the flames to advance any further.

Even under the obstruction of this repulsive force, the black and white flames even showed signs of burning backwards!

"Hmm?"

Kaito raised an eyebrow; he hadn't expected this so-called 'god' to actually make a move, but none of this was a big deal.

In fact, in Kaito's view, Nagato at present might not even reach the level he would be at nine years later.

Even after nine years, it took a desperate effort for him to flatten Konoha.

If Kaito were still in his Mangekyō state, he would definitely be worried about this guy's various strange powers.

But having reached the state of the Eternal Mangekyō, his apprehensions, if any, were much less.

After all, those eyes were not Nagato's own, and he simply could not bring out all the power of those eyes.

Of course, this is not to say that Kaito truly has no concern for Nagato; if all the manifestations were present, Kaito would have to be cautious.

After all, what he was really worried about was the Preta Path's power to absorb chakra, but it seemed that this guy only had a single Deva Path manifestation.

This was definitely good news for Kaito.

Even if the strongest power he had was that of the Deva Path, without the support of other abilities, is the Rinnegan still the Rinnegan?

"Amazing!"

Ōnoki, witnessing the member of the Akatsuki in the sky blocking Kaito's flames, felt a surge of admiration internally and then became extremely serious.

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

His hands quickly formed seals, and a white-hot light emerged in his palms; the next moment, this light turned into a pillar that swept ferociously forward!

This terrifying pillar of light disintegrated everything into molecules, even Kaito's black flames.

Kaito's flames were split in two by Ōnoki, and that white pillar even fiercely cut towards Kaito!

However, Kaito was no longer in his third stage Susanoo, which was like a war fortress.

He deftly controlled the fourth stage Susanoo, leaping up to avoid Ōnoki's technique, and immediately launched a counterattack.

Chakra blades appeared on the four arms of Susanoo, and under his control, all four blades swung out simultaneously!

The terrifying sharpness that was visible to the naked eye splashed out instantly, cutting the ground beneath it.

The four members of the Akatsuki and Ōnoki, seeing this, could only scatter immediately; they truly dared not come into contact with such fearsome power.

"Damn it!"

However, just as they scattered, Ōnoki's complexion suddenly changed, and Kaito somewhat inexplicably smiled.

Because those sharp edges seemed to never dissipate, directly crashing fiercely towards the rear, and in the back was the Iwagakure force that had already been crippled!

Yet Ōnoki was powerless to do anything; he could only watch as those four sharp edges flew into the crowd.

Piercing screams once again rose over the plains; the sharpness, like a meat grinder, shredded the Iwagakure force's ninjas to pieces!

This was truly a case of 'when immortals fight, mortals suffer'; even Kaito himself did not expect things to develop in this way, but he was relieved that the main force of Konoha was far enough away.

Otherwise, the unfortunate events would likely have occurred to them.

Kaito was still in good spirits, but at this moment, Ōnoki's eyes had already turned blood red, his rage nearly igniting his entire body.

Because he truly never expected things to develop to this point, that this war could escalate to such a degree.

To say he did not regret it would be impossible; even though he managed to divert the conflict through this war and deal with the issues within his village.

But now, the price he paid was too great, the price paid by the entire Iwagakure was too great!

"Uchiha Kaito, you deserve to die!"

Ōnoki roared in anger, the chakra inside his body suddenly erupting, with white light once again condensing in his hands.

"Dust Release: Limit Breakthrough!"

The immense chakra within him exploded wildly, and the terrifying white column of light, covering the sky, ferociously aimed at Kaito's position.

He did wish to attack the main force of Konoha to achieve a tooth for a tooth, blood for blood retaliation.

But he was well aware that he simply could not overcome Kaito's defense, charging in alone might result in being killed by Kaito.

What he could do now was to kill Kaito as quickly as possible, then look for an opportunity to break through the defense.

The power of Dust Release was incredibly terrifying, even Kaito at this moment did not dare to resist.

Because he was very clear that even Madara Uchiha's Susanoo could not withstand Ōnoki's Dust Release.

After all, it was a matter of Bloodline Selection; Kaito really couldn't afford to be the slightest bit careless.

Controlling the Susanoo, Kaito leaped up, then quickly spun in the air before landing again.

And the white column of light was still tracking him, even the ground was fiercely cut open by the light column, leaving extremely smooth and glaring cracks.

However, this terrifying power did not hit Kaito; the mobile Susanoo was not something ordinary people could imagine!

"Secret Technique: Shark Muscle Fusion Form!"

At a distance, Kisame had already completed the fusion with the Shark Muscle, facing Kaito he did not dare to relax at all, and he had also completed his technique.

"Water Release: Great Exploding Water Colliding Wave!"

A massive Water Release instantly covered the entire area, he had keenly noticed that Kaito seemed very concerned about the Dust Release power, so he was very willing to create some space for Ōnoki.

"Water Release: A Thousand Feeding Sharks!"

Watching as Kaito's chakra giant was covered by the massive waves, he unceremoniously executed his second ninjutsu.

In an instant, a thousand terrifying sharks appeared in the water, baring their teeth and crazily pouncing towards Kaito.

"Dust Release, is it such a fearsome technique?"

Orochimaru and Sasori also came to a realization at this moment, and they too quickly formed hand seals.

A vast number of black magnetic sands and giant snakes rapidly appeared, and they also frantically assaulted Kaito.

"Hmph!"

Kaito snorted coldly, he could see that these guys were most likely trying to pressure him to limit his range of movement, to create an opportunity for Ōnoki's Dust Release.

But it seems that at this level, it still might not be quite enough.
