Chapter 266

"How is this possible?"

Many Leaf ninjas were stunned at this moment. Several of them even rubbed their eyes.

Because what they were witnessing truly exceeded their understanding.

They had never imagined that a single ninja could confront an entire ninja army on his own!

Moreover, to assure themselves that what they were seeing was real and clear, they even took out their binoculars.

At this moment, they finally confirmed that they were indeed seeing things correctly.

The Chief from the Uchiha clan was genuinely charging through the Stone army with his own strength.

His speed was so fast that they couldn't clearly see, but the corpses of the Stone ninjas scattered everywhere and the continuous fall of the Stone ninjas all proved what he was actually doing!

"Is he even human?"

Many Leaf ninjas exclaimed at this moment, feeling that Chief Kaito was no longer human.

How could a human possess such power, such overwhelming force against a thousand?

Of course, Kaito wasn't some divine being, as what deity would do such things?

In their eyes, Kaito was an Asura, an Asura rampaging through the ninja world!

"Is this Kaito's power?"

Shisui clenched his fists slightly. Seeing this scene was overwhelming, but deep down, he felt somewhat powerless.

He knew that Kaito's eyes had once again improved, which meant that Kaito's strength must have grown again.

But how much it had grown and to what extent, he wasn't sure.

Now, it seemed that the growth Kaito had achieved had completely exceeded his expectations!

Frankly speaking, if he had to face so many Stone ninjas at once, he felt the only word to describe his fate would be "suicidal".

Even though his own power was substantial and his pupil power could recover due to the white material's cells.

Under such circumstances, he could also freely use Susanoo, and his Susanoo had reached the third stage.

Moreover, according to Kaito, the Mangekyou is divided into two types, and he inherently possesses the advantage of speed.

However, even with all these unique features, if he had to face these guys, he fears that handling around a hundred would be his limit! 

Facing a siege from a hundred enemies alone is legendary in its own right.

But the issue is, Shisui has always wanted to measure himself against Kaito!

He and Kaito are of the same age and were in the same class at the ninja academy.

Since they were young, both of them had shown their talents. However, Kaito, with his own ideas, chose his path.

While Shisui followed the clan elder and was set on what seemed to be an excellent path.

Under the twist of fate, even though they remained good friends, they both underwent significant changes.

Shisui earned a reputation in the Leaf Village and even the ninja world, while Kaito seemed to become more and more ordinary, even his close relations seemed to be outsiders.

However, just when everyone thought Kaito, despite being an elite Uchiha, didn't fit the typical mold, reached his limit,

Kaito, due to a crisis in the clan, finally showed his talent. It was at that moment that Shisui realized just how extraordinarily strong Kaito had become.

His thoughts, his perspective surpassed everyone else's, and he had silently unlocked the Mangekyou Sharingan!

Under his leadership, Shisui, step by step, witnessed the Uchiha clan fighting their way out of encirclement.

He saw the Uchiha regain their footing, saw the Uchiha reintegrate into the Leaf Village.

Having witnessed all of Kaito's incredible transformations, Shisui had long regarded Kaito as the one he aimed to catch up to.

This pursuit initially only involved intellectual logic and knowledge accumulation. He was always confident in his strength.

But as Kaito shined brighter and displayed increasing strength.

Shisui's chase became more comprehensive. However, somewhat frustratingly, he felt like he couldn't catch up at all.

He wasn't envious of Kaito's power, not at all, because he knew it was all achieved through Kaito's hard work.

He only hated himself for not working hard enough, for slowing down.

He resented that he couldn't be there for Kaito in crucial moments, leaving many troublesome matters for Kaito to handle on his own.

"I must work even harder; I cannot hold Kaito back!"

Shisui clenched his teeth slightly, swearing silently in his heart.

However, compared to his current inner dissatisfaction, Yaneko finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Yaneko had always been very concerned about Kaito's situation. She knew Kaito was strong, but like everyone else, she didn't think Kaito could really handle a large force.

But the power Kaito now displayed assured her that he truly could do it.

"It's really unexpected."

Yaneko sighed silently in her heart, but she still maintained her focus.

Because Kaito wasn't entirely safe yet, she awaited orders to move forward, which was the most important thing for her to do right now.

"Tsk, this guy."

Tsunade's gaze was also fixed on the scene before her. She had been very nervous before.

She had constantly doubted whether she made the wrong choice, but that's just her nature.

Once she trusts someone, she will give them her full trust.

She had trusted the Fourth Hokage before and tried to help him.

Now that she had fully returned to the Leaf Village, her allegiance lay with the Leaf.

Kaito is from the Leaf, and even though some of his actions can be a real headache, like the matter with the Third Hokage, from Kaito's perspective, everything he did wasn't too problematic.

And this young man has given enough respect to his teacher. Tsunade also felt some discontent towards her own teacher.

This matter can now be put behind them. Even if the young man's surname is Uchiha, for Tsunade, it isn't a particularly serious issue.

During the war, Tsunade trusted Kaito for these reasons, and she also hoped that the losses this time would be minimized.

Doing so, she was under a lot of pressure, as she never really let her guard down.

However, it seems that Kaito was not joking; his strength is indeed incredibly formidable.

Now, the only question lingering in Tsunade's mind was whether this young man's strength had reached the level of her grandfather's at his prime?

But she found this question somewhat amusing. Instead of pondering over it, it's better to focus on the present.

After all, no one knows when Kaito might reach his limit.

"But this kid hasn't used Susano'o yet. Maybe his power is really catching up to the level of my grandfather and the others."

While Tsunade was deep in thought, Kakuzu silently mused, 

"This kid might be approaching the level of Uchiha Madara."

As someone who has lived from that era and survived to this day, his words carry weight.

He had a premonition that Kaito might become someone the world fears, and he wanted to watch Kaito grow to that level.

In his view, it would take Kaito a long time to reach that point.

But now he realizes that Kaito's growth rate far exceeds his expectations.

He is genuinely progressing, constantly moving forward towards a shocking revelation!

"Is this the power of the teacher?"

Further from the front lines, a large group of young people were stationed. Ninjas assigned to protect them on the battlefield were scattered around.

They all silently observed the changes unfolding before them. At this moment, they were truly no different from the Leaf ninjas on the front line.

Their faces were filled with shock and disbelief because they never expected a single ninja's power could reach such a level!

Both adults and young children alike were completely overturned in their understanding by everything Kaito had done.

However, the Uchiha ninjas seemed calm, as if they had long anticipated that things would develop this way.

And now, the fervor in their eyes was like that of ordinary people seeing their deified beliefs come to life. Even the young Sasuke felt this way.

His fists clenched tightly, and he couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Is this the true power of the Uchiha?

Is this the power that dominates and stands above the entire Leaf village?

Thinking about this, Sasuke's determination in his eyes grew even stronger. He knew his teacher was powerful, but how powerful remained somewhat unclear to him.

A while ago, he witnessed his teacher battling another man named Uchiha Madara. The two directly annihilated a mountain range, and he thought that must be the power of a god.

But the scenes unfolding now shocked him even more than before!

It's worth noting that this was just the beginning, and his teacher hadn't even used the power of Susano'o yet.

"No matter what my teacher asks of me in the future, or how he wants me to train, I must do my best, because the teacher is the true guardian deity of the Uchiha!" 

Sasuke silently vowed to himself, with a burning desire to one day become a ninja like his teacher. 

"This guy has grown again."

On the other end of the battlefield, Orochimaru silently licked his lips. Watching Kaito's invincible prowess among the crowd, he couldn't contain his excitement.

Kaito's strength had improved, or rather, the true power of the Uchiha was being continually showcased by him.

Such a scene made Orochimaru particularly excited, feeling he might truly witness the complete power of the Uchiha.

However, to see all this, he too needs to keep improving.

If he doesn't show enough value and enough deterrence, perhaps when he becomes useless, Uchiha Kaito definitely won't let him live.

All this takes time and continuous adjustment.

He slightly tilted his head, looking at the silent, deathly still figures of Sasori and Kisame, and the equally mute Pain.

The smile on his face brightened, and then he spoke, burning with anticipation.

"Should we make a move? This guy seems a bit too dangerous."

His words made the already silent scene even more so, with a suffocating atmosphere beginning to permeate.

"We still need to make a move."

After nearly a minute of silence, Pain finally spoke in a faint voice.

"However, we need to wait for the right moment. 

Uchiha Kaito is powerful, but don't forget he is just a mortal.

Whereas I, am the god of this world!"

"Boom!"

A sudden explosive sound resonated, but Bungo's expression changed slightly. He knew very well that he hadn't hit anyone.

Even though he was very aware that his surprise attack might not be very effective, he still had to do something.

He already knew who the young man in front of him was. This was the individual who had changed the political landscape of the Leaf Village, one could even say the entire Shinobi world.

He is Uchiha Kaito, the youngest clan leader and minister of the Leaf!

Moreover, Bungo really hadn't expected this man's strength to be so exaggerated. The power that Kaito demonstrated had already surpassed human limits.

"Hmm?"

Just as Bungo quickly recalled information about Kaito, he suddenly felt an overwhelming sense of danger enveloping him.

Without hesitation, he leaped backward, but the next moment, a ninja blade imbued with lightning chakra still heavily struck his chest!

Intense pain and a conspicuous numbing sensation pierced his nerves, making his movements become somewhat rigid.

"Lord Bungo!"

The surrounding Rock ninjas noticed this scene, and they immediately rushed to support Bungo.

However, just as they started moving, several kunais soared high into the sky, spinning chaotically.

What was even stranger was that these kunais collided with each other during their spin.

Yet, this collision made them fly out at a completely new angle, and they precisely targeted and pierced the rushing Rock ninjas.

"Damn it!"

These Rock ninjas quickly realized that something was amiss and immediately began to fend off the kunais.

However, while some managed to block these kunais, some unlucky ones were directly pierced in vital areas by them.

Yet, it wasn't over. The blocked kunais fell to the ground among the crowd, and many ninjas approached to check on those who were hit.

By the time they noticed that explosive tags were tied to these kunais, it was already too late!

"Boom!"

A deafening explosion echoed across the fields. The unprepared Rock ninjas were blasted to pieces, leaving only pools of blood at the scene.

"No!"

Bungo roared in anger, but there was nothing he could do at the moment.

Similarly, Kaito had no intention of letting him go. Amidst the smoky battlefield, a ghostly figure suddenly rushed towards Bungo.

Even in his normal state, Bungo wouldn't have been able to react to such speed, let alone in his current condition!

Facing the swiftly slashing ninja blade, Bungo desperately tried to make his stiff body swerve slightly.

But no matter how he tried to turn, he couldn't avoid it all.

"Swish!"

Accompanied by the sound of metal cutting flesh, one of Bungo's arms, dripping with blood, was flung into the air.

Kaito quickly closed the distance and delivered a fierce punch to his abdomen.

The immense force caused Bungo's body to curl up involuntarily, resembling a boiled shrimp.

Kaito's elbow then brutally swung towards Bungo's face, making him feel as though his nose had been broken.

As Bungo collapsed to the ground, looking battered and bruised, Kaito's left hand tightly gripped his neck.

The immense force nearly choked Bungo on the spot, and at that moment, Kaito's voice, accompanied by the power of his chakra, echoed throughout the area.

"You think you can dance with me?"
