Chapter 25: Chapter 25

"You'd better consider how to survive my next attack!"

As soon as Kaito's voice faded, Fugaku's expression suddenly changed. Despite Susanoo's body protection, he hastily pulled the bewildered Itachi back.

And just as he escaped from his original location, the terrain in that place changed.

The earth seemed to animate, launching a fierce assault at Fugaku and Itachi's feet !

But Fugaku dodged each attack one by one, although more and more blood flowed from his left eye!

Susanoo always had a weak point when it couldn't attain perfection!

That is, the caster's feet would remain unprotected!

In Fugaku's observation just now, Kaito manipulated the earth, pulling him out from Susanoo!

Then, Kaito instantly moved in front of him and took away his eyes!

That's why his expression changed drastically!

Fugaku evaded the attacks beneath his feet, feeling embarrassed by the necessity. Without his precognition, he would have been struck long ago!

Though Fugaku escaped the attacks repeatedly, his ocular power also depleted significantly.

Finally, after dodging again, his eyes suddenly hurt, and he lost his predictive ability momentarily!

But the underground assaults wouldn't cease!

Just as Fugaku was about to be caught by Kaito, the Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had been observing, finally reacted!

"Summoning Jutsu ? Ape Demon!"

"Ape Demon, quickly transform into a golden-rimmed-staff motif!"

After Sarutobi Hiruzen's furious command, a golden hoop instantly stretched out, smashing away the land attacking Fugaku!

At this point, Fugaku's predictive ability wasn't working !

"What a nuisance!"

Kaito shook his head. Dealing with five formidable opponents simultaneously was too taxing!

"But regardless, I've disabled Fugaku's eyes!"

Kaito glared coldly at the five adversaries. He intended to unleash his full power, determined to acquire Fugaku's eyes!

Because he vaguely sensed that devouring Fugaku's eyes would elevate his mirror space to another level!

Gazing at the five vigilant opponents, Kaito sighed imperceptibly.

In such circumstances, using 'replacement' like he did with Itachi before was the only option!

But 'replacement' demanded significant ocular power and chakra, especially against a kage-level powerhouse like Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Of course, what concerned Kaito wasn't the ocular power, as using more of it would expedite unlocking the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan !

What worried Kaito was his chakra reserve!

After all, his chakra quality only reached the early stages of kage-level, and just one 'replacement' with Itachi had instantly consumed over 10% of his peak chakra!

Currently, his chakra was barely above 50%!

"So, I need to make swift decisions from now on!"

Kaito narrowed his eyes. In the upcoming battle, he wouldn't need to worry about anyone else. Acquiring Fugaku's eyes would secure his greatest victory!

"Third Hokage, be cautious! Kaito is about to use that mysterious space-time ability!"

Fugaku warned the group.

Simultaneously, two lines of blood reappeared in his eyes!

Sarutobi Hiruzen was startled by the warning. In the next instant, he saw Kaito materialized in front of him!

Instantly, Kaito's chakra plummeted to 40%!

Fugaku's caution still proved effective. The third generation swiftly blocked the golden hoop stick as it appeared and intercepted Kaito's slashing sword!

At that moment, Kaito suddenly materialized behind Sarutobi Hiruzen again, thrusting a sword toward his forehead.

However, the Ape Demon reverted to its original form, grabing Kaito's sword!

"Ape Demon, well done!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen rejoiced instantly, producing a kunai in his left hand and driving it into Kaito's chest!

"Too naive!"

Kaito sneered, releasing the sword and instantly reappearing on the other side of Sarutobi Hiruzen!

Then, Kaito drew out a kunai.

"Lightning Style: Thunderbolt"
