Konoha: This Uchiha is going a bit too far.

Chapter 141 Have you ever experienced despair?

"Have the Akatsuki members arrived yet?"

Standing inside the command tent in the camp, Onoki looked at the map while asking questions of the honest Huangtu beside him.

Behind Huang Tu, the obedient Hei Tu and the disgruntled Deidara stood there.

War is abhorrent, but it's also the fastest way for ninjas to improve their skills.

As his favorite disciple and granddaughter, Onoki naturally wanted them to truly experience the atmosphere of war.

It also allows them to be exposed to some of the thoughts and ideas of the decision-makers, as Huang Tu and his generation had already given up hope.

There's absolutely no talent!

Now he can only pin his hopes on Kurotsuchi and Deidara and their group of kids. Even if they can't compare to the abundance of talent in Konoha, at least they can cultivate some capable people, right?

"The Akatsuki are in position and awaiting instructions."

Huang Tu has become much more serious now. He is the kind of ninja who particularly loves fighting, and only the battlefield can allow him to fully unleash his emotions.

"Very good, tell them to be ready to deploy at any time."

Onoki nodded, "The Akatsuki members are ready."

"Although we won't have a direct conflict with Konoha for the time being, everything depends on the situation in Kumogakure, but they are different."

Whether or not a battle breaks out, weakening Konoha's strength is essential; it would be even better if they could kill Hiruzen Sarutobi.

If I kill this monkey, I won't even need to pay you.

"Yes, Lord Tsuchikage."

Huang Tu nodded. Just then, a ninja in charge of reconnaissance inside the tent suddenly changed his expression, and cold sweat dripped down his forehead.

"What's going on with all this chakra?"

In order to better understand the dynamics of the battlefield, Onoki naturally brought out the entire perception squad.

Moreover, as this sensory ninja's voice rang out, the expressions of all the other sensory ninjas changed drastically!

In their perception, three streams of chakra appeared that were no weaker than those of the tailed beasts, and perhaps even more terrifying.

Moreover, the owner of this chakra is rapidly approaching them!

Without a second thought, he immediately stood up and shouted, "Lord Tsuchikage, something terrible has happened! An unknown, powerful chakra has appeared on the left side of their camp!"

"Unknown chakra?" Onoki paused for a moment, then quickly walked over. "What's going on?"

"I don't know, but this force..."

The sensory ninja seemed to be gripped by fear, but before he could finish speaking, a tremendous heat and a deafening roar swept through their ears!

boom--

The deafening roar was unbearable, and the scorching heat gave one a feeling of suffocation!

"What happened?"

Onoki's face was grim. He quickly flew up and shouted at the yellow earth.

"You protect those two kids, make sure nothing happens to them."

After saying this, he immediately headed off into the distance, but as soon as he took off, his face froze.

"Senior, it's just ahead."

In the forest of the Grass Country, Shisui glanced at the information reported by the crow on his shoulder, then turned to Haori and Hikaru and spoke.

"The village and Iwagakure haven't started fighting yet, but both sides are being very careful. If we go there, we'll probably be discovered."

"Please, we didn't care about being discovered when we were in the Water Kingdom."

Yuzhi rolled his eyes upon hearing Shisui's words before finally speaking with a sigh.

"I am Uchiha Madara, and she is Uchiha Izuna. You're still calling me 'senpai'?"

"Well, although it's a bit rude, I am now Grandfather Uchiha Kagami, so it's not wrong to call me senpai."

Shisui awkwardly scratched his head, unsure whether he was embarrassed for using his grandfather's identity to cause trouble, or simply unable to remark on how different things were now compared to the Land of Water.

In the Land of Water, they had a buffer, but now they are facing a large force of Iwagakure troops who are ready for battle!

Shisui had thought of the name Uchiha Shimada before, but he didn't actually realize who it was at first.

Later, when he found out, he dared not use it anymore. After thinking it over, he could only use his grandfather's name.

Anyway, according to Yuzhi, there shouldn't be any problems if they disguise themselves as people from other worlds...

"Alright, don't worry, you have to believe in your abilities."

Yuzhi offered a word of comfort before continuing.

"And don't worry too much, I'll come to your aid if you encounter any problems."

"I understand, senior."

Shisui took a deep breath and then nodded seriously.

Although it was dangerous and he was somewhat unsure of himself, he truly witnessed the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan during his time in Kirigakure.

Whenever he thinks back on it, he wonders if his understanding of kaleidoscopes was too superficial.

Even if their abilities are different, the power of the Kaleidoscope should be just like what it was that night with the Haori!

"This time, I'm going to unleash the true power of the kaleidoscope!"

-

"Tch, Konoha wouldn't dare to make a move."

"Alright, it's best if we don't have to fight. If the Cloud Village can handle it, that's fine. But if not, we still have mercenaries to hire, so it probably won't be your turn right away."

On the Iwagakure's territory, many ninjas were chatting idly.

At this moment, they were still in a standoff with Konoha. It seemed that a battle was not going to break out anytime soon, so in addition to being on guard, they also needed to relax a little.

Iwagakure was somewhat resistant to war, but when they learned that their opponent was Konoha, they immediately perked up!

They always felt that they lost the third war unfairly. If the Third Raikage hadn't given up his life, their situation wouldn't have been so difficult.

Now that Konoha has "courted its own death" and given them an opportunity, how could they possibly miss it?

"Um?"

Their leisurely demeanor caused a slight pause in the ninjas responsible for sensing and observing within the position.

The next moment, he suddenly let out a cry of surprise.

"There...there it is...what is that?"

Cold sweat poured out, and he suddenly stood up and screamed in terror, pointing his finger at the forest not far away.

"What's wrong?"

The sudden behavior of the sensory ninja in charge of observation naturally attracted the attention of others, and a frontline commander quickly ran over to ask him.

Before the sensory ninja could utter a single word, a surge of immense chakra, accompanied by suffocating heat, suddenly swept towards them!

Looking up, all I could see was black flames covering the sky.

They transformed into giant dragons, roaring as they charged at them from all directions!

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

The commander on the front line roared with almost all his might, while simultaneously forming hand seals rapidly.

"Earth Release·Earth Style Wall!"

A towering earthen wall rose from the ground as he formed his hand seals, and at that very moment, the black flame dragon roared in.

boom--

With almost no resistance, the earthen wall burst into flames as the black flames adhered to it.

The pitch-black flames spread rapidly, instantly destroying not only the earthen wall but also the commander, turning him to ashes in an instant!

"Enemy attack! Everyone be careful, enemy attack!"

Such a terrifying attack caught all the Iwa ninja in the area off guard.

They all began to evade and build defenses, but to their astonishment, they discovered that their defenses were completely useless.

The terrifying black flames seemed impossible to extinguish, easily igniting anything they touched.

And when these black flames transformed into ferocious dragons, their power increased exponentially!

Boom, boom, boom—

The roaring sounds rose and fell, but the defenses seemed to have failed at this moment, and all the Iwa ninja in the vicinity could only abandon their defenses and flee quickly.

But running away is useless; if these flames are not stopped, they will surely spread throughout the entire camp!

"Who exactly possesses such power?"

Although all the Iwa ninja were stunned, they still reacted quickly.

"Earth Release·Earth Release!"

Unlike Kirigakure, which relied on its experience to use Water Release to extinguish the fire, Iwagakure used a simpler method, with dozens of Iwagakure ninja quickly forming hand seals.

Under their control, the earth roared and then suddenly cracked open, forming a huge fissure.

The black flames were stopped by the crack and did not spread further, but while the black flames on the ground were dealt with, the fire dragon in the sky continued to roar.

"Dust Release: Particle Style - Detachment Technique!"

As the fire dragon roared in, a white light flashed, and the roaring dragon was instantly reduced to dust!

"It's Dust Release."

"Very good!"

"The Tsuchikage has arrived!"

Upon seeing this, the Iwa ninja immediately realized what was happening, and they couldn't help but cheer.

However, Ōnoki's expression turned somewhat grim as he looked at the flames before him.

Among the cheering crowd, many remained silent, clearly recognizing the flames.

"Who goes there? Come out! Stop playing tricks!"

Onoki gave a low shout in the air, his eyes quickly scanning everything around him.

"Three years have passed, kid. You've aged again, but you seem to have grown a bit, haven't you?"

Just then, a deep voice suddenly rang out.

The voice seemed to be whispering, yet it eerily echoed in everyone's ears!

Onoki's expression suddenly changed, and he looked down at a huge rock with horror.

On the boulder stood three figures, the one in the lead with his arms crossed, gazing arrogantly at the crowd.

He was wearing a mask shaped like a tengu, so his expression was completely unreadable.

However, he was clad in ancient red armor, and his black hair, standing on end, swayed gently in the wind.

Her long, flowing hair partially obscured her mask, but her blood-red eyes peered through it, calmly observing everything with a disdainful gaze.

Such a gaze seemed devoid of contempt, yet for some reason, everyone could feel an aura of superiority emanating from this guy, without it feeling out of place at all.

He also carried a huge fan on his back, with an iron chain at the end of the fan, which was locking a strangely shaped sickle.

"Who is this guy?"

Even in the sky, Onoki instinctively took a step back, cold sweat beading on his forehead.

He was still wearing a mask so his face couldn't be seen, and he still had that aloof demeanor, but this time Onoki felt an even greater shock to his heart.

This guy's aura was even stronger, and it was also even more terrifying!

It's you again.

Onoki clenched his fists and shouted coldly. His worst fears had come true; these guys had indeed shown up!

"What is your purpose?"

"Hand over the Five-Tails, brat."

When Yuzhi spoke, it was still as nonchalant as ever, but her attitude was exceptionally arrogant.

"This way we can save ourselves some trouble; otherwise, I would have to go find that beast myself."

Upon hearing this, Onoki clenched his fists even tighter.

Hikaru and Shisui, who were standing next to Yuri, couldn't help but purse their lips. They couldn't help but wonder if this was Yuri's true nature.

Is this really what the so-called Uchiha Madara looks like? It's just that Haori's portrayal is too convincing.

"You bastard, what nonsense are you spouting?"

"Arrogant fool!"

"Who do you think you are?"

Before Onoki could speak, the Iwa ninja couldn't hold back any longer and roared at Hagoromo.

Onoki's mouth opened slightly, and the next moment his gaze sharpened as he stared intently at the three of them, including Hagoromo.

He raised his hand and made a gesture, and the wilderness that had been filled with roars immediately fell silent, with only the aura of chakra remaining.

Upon seeing this, Yuzhi couldn't help but shake his head slightly: "It seems you're rejecting my offer?"

"Perhaps you do possess a power that is difficult for ordinary people to obtain."

At this moment, Onoki seemed to have made a decision, and he shouted loudly to the three of them, including Hagoromo, with a firm gaze.

"But you absolutely cannot be him. Your clumsy acting is disgusting. This time, I'm going to tear off your pathetic disguise!"

"All personnel, prepare to attack!"

"yes!"

Hearing the roaring sound like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami crashing, Yuzhi gently shook his head, then nodded to Shisui and Hikaru.

In an instant, they leaped up and landed in front of the Hidden Rock position.

The three of them stared at the thousands of ninjas in front of them with their scarlet eyes, and after a moment, Yuzhi chuckled softly.

"Then come on, I hope you can please me this time."

-

"What's going on at Iwagakure?"

"I don't know, but the situation might be a bit bad."

On the other side of the forest, the Akatsuki members, sensing the powerful burst of chakra, frowned deeply.

The constant booming sounds made them realize that something was amiss.

"Let's get ready to go."

However, at that moment, space twisted and distorted, and Obito's voice suddenly emerged from within the space.

"What's going on over there?"

Nagato frowned, still full of disdain for this "imposter," but his vigilance had also increased.

Three years ago, he was defeated by the "real deal" in one move, and that unpleasant memory still filled his mind.

Although he felt that this guy might not be able to do that, the same ability still made him have to be careful.

"There are enemies, and it's extremely dangerous."

Obito's words were concise, but his expression beneath the mask was exceptionally grim, haunted by the dark, towering flames.

He determined almost immediately who it was, and this time he decided to seize the opportunity!

However, there were some things he couldn't say. He simply looked indifferently at the rogue ninjas with their diverse personalities and spoke coldly.

"The other hired ninjas have already been deployed; it's time for us to move in as well."

"Are you going to take action so soon? How annoying."

Orochimaru licked his lips lightly, chuckled, and asked, but he still stood up and made preparations.

"Who cares if it's fast or slow, as long as the problem is solved."

Kakuzu spoke indifferently, while Sasori and Juzo Biwa also stood up, clearly ready.

"Let's go then."

Nagato nodded. Anyway, a fight was inevitable, so it didn't matter who they fought or when they fought.

However, Nagato still had something on his mind. He seemed to sense that this "fake" was acting strangely.

He had no interest in asking, and with a twist of space, they all vanished from their spot in the next instant.

When they reappeared, they came to a small hilltop, but when they saw everything below, they were all stunned.

"This is."

Orochimaru licked his lips slightly, revealing a strange smile.

"That inflammatory tissue?"

-

Facing thousands of ninjas, the three of them, including Hagoromo, appeared very calm.

But actually, Shisui was really nervous at first. However, after he rushed into the crowd with Haori and Hikaru, he suddenly realized that everything was actually so simple!

"Is this the true power of the kaleidoscope?"

Although extreme caution is still necessary, no ninja is immune to being cut.

But Shisui actually discovered that as long as he focused his attention enough and didn't worry about the Kaleidoscope's energy being depleted, he wouldn't be easily hit!

With just a glance, he could easily determine the enemy's position, attack direction, and even their thoughts.

In his eyes, it seemed as if curves appeared, lines that could tell him how to move, how to evade, and even how to attack.

He only needs to follow along, and he can easily defeat weaker enemies, while stronger enemies will require him to use his own abilities.

hum-

With a simple glance, the power of the kaleidoscope suddenly erupted, radiating to his eyes and even to the enemies around him.

In the moment these people are distracted, all he needs to do is quickly swing his knife or throw an explosive tag into the crowd, and that will be enough!

"Watch their eyes! Don't huddle together anymore, spread out and deal with them!"

Onoki was extremely anxious at this moment. Watching these three people rush into the crowd and attack recklessly, he was so angry that he wanted to grind his teeth to powder.

These three people are incredibly powerful. Sending them into the crowd to fight would be nothing short of a massacre!

What's worse, he had absolutely no chance to use Dust Escape.

If such a dense crowd were to unleash their dust escape technique, it would be an absolute disaster.

"We must separate them and defeat them one by one."

Onoki gritted his teeth and thought to himself, while his gaze was fixed on Haori.

"Uchiha Madara, huh? I'll start with you!"

With that thought in mind, Onoki quickly flew down, and his commands were very effective.

These Iwa ninjas weren't stupid. After realizing they couldn't use their skills, they quickly scattered and took the three of them, including Hagoromo, to different places.

"Pretty smart, huh?"

As Yuki wielded his scythe, he used his fan to deflect some of the close-range ninjutsu, and countless people had already fallen in front of him.

However, he didn't get carried away and quickly realized the situation.

However, he didn't care too much, as both Kamui and Flying Thunder God Technique could instantly transport him to Hikaru and Shisui's side.

If Onoki wants to play, we'll play along. Their goal this time is to effectively kill Iwagakure and stop the war on this front.

Besides obtaining the Five-Tails' chakra, it doesn't matter how you fight.

"Dust Release: Particle Style - Detachment Technique!"

The battlefield was quickly divided into three areas, and just as Yuki was about to launch another powerful attack, he suddenly felt a strong surge of chakra.

Without the slightest hesitation, he leaped forward and dodged the chakra beam.

Just then, he suddenly raised an eyebrow, because at that moment he suddenly realized that someone else was coming.

"Ninja Technique: Hidden Shadow Multi-Snake Hand!"

In an instant, countless venomous snakes silently appeared in front of him.

"Magnetic Release: Iron Sand Rain!"

Behind him, a dense swarm of iron sand, like raindrops, had already reached his side.

"Lightning Release: False Darkness!"

On his side, lightning bolts, like sharp spears, suddenly struck him.

"This level of attack"

Yu Zhi's eyes flickered slightly, his chakra rippled slightly, and a huge skull rib suddenly appeared!

The next instant, an arm suddenly appeared from the ribs, and purple chakra condensed into a long sword.

hum-

As the long sword flashed, all the venomous snakes were severed, and behind him, the unique metallic clanging sound continued to ring out.

As for the electric current in the distance, Yuzhi waved her fan fiercely, and the current vanished instantly.

"Uchiha Rebound!"

The next instant, these currents seemed to have simply had their paths altered, and they continued their journey towards the caster along the same route!

boom--

Another rapid roar followed, and dust billowed everywhere. In just a moment, Yuzhi had broken up one of the attacks.

His gaze swept over the figures that had suddenly appeared around him, and he now knew who his opponent was.

"Onoki, Orochimaru, Nagato, and also Kakuzu and Sasori?"

Seeing these people, Yu Zhi's expression was somewhat strange. He had a feeling that many years later, Madara Uchiha would be fighting the five Kage alone.

However, two of these five Kage are considered to be defectors.

As the dust cleared, the figures of several people appeared, and Onoki slowly descended from the sky.

However, the old man Onoki kept his eyes fixed on the puppet next to Sasori. He had realized something, which made him somewhat uneasy.

Damn it, this guy is the culprit who started World War III?

He didn't have time to talk about these things right now, and Nagato, controlling Pain, was staring at Haori. It took him a while before he spoke.

"Who are you? Are you from the Flame Organization?"

"Oh, it's you, you little brat."

Yuzhi did not return to Nagato, even though he had anticipated such an attack and was confident in his ability to handle it.

But when she actually saw these five people, Yuzhi would still become somewhat wary.

No matter how vigilant he was, he couldn't afford to reveal his identity. He maintained a calm and slightly mocking expression as he looked at Nagato.

"Are these eyes any good?"

"What do you mean?"

In the distance, Nagato frowned slightly, not quite understanding what this mysterious Uchiha was trying to do.

But he was also a little confused. Why did all these Uchiha people like to wear a mask?

"What I mean is, how much do you really know about these eyes?"

The haori subtly gathered chakra, yet its tone remained remarkably calm and composed.

"However, it seems that you have only a mediocre grasp of it. In this body, I seem to only feel the power of the Heavenly Dao."

"Who exactly are you?"

Nagato could no longer hold back at this moment. Even though Pain's tone remained calm, his expression, hidden in the forest, became extremely ugly.

This situation drew the attention of Orochimaru and the others, and even Onoki couldn't help but turn around to look.

Who I am is not important; what's important is that you seem to be too high-profile.

Yuzhi gently shook his head, calmly looking at the people in front of him, and then spoke in a teasing tone.

"But it doesn't matter anyway, it's good to see how the kid who was chosen back then is doing now."

"I hope your performance won't disappoint me. By the way..."

Yuzhi's voice suddenly turned cold, and the Susanoo on his body suddenly began to grow larger, its extremely oppressive aura instantly permeating the entire area.

"To be precise, I'm giving you some advice: you'd better all come at me together, or you'll die."

These casual words sounded like a conversation with a friend, but they perfectly conveyed an air of superiority and disdain.

Onoki's expression grew increasingly grim, and Nagato, who was controlling Pain, clenched his fists.

They stared intently at the haori before them, and a chilling aura began to spread through the forest.

Ow—

However, at that moment, the earth suddenly cracked open, and a giant snake burst out of the ground, biting fiercely at Yuzhi!

"Magnetic Release: Giant Iron Sand Needle!"

Without uttering a single unnecessary word, Sasori gently moved his fingers and brought his hands together to seal the Third Generation Seal.

Countless iron filings rapidly coalesced and merged, instantly transforming into several black spears that swiftly pierced towards the haori.

"Haven't you learned your lesson yet?"

With a soft laugh, Yuzhi's eyes narrowed as he leaped backward.

The long sword in Susanoo's hand seemed to double in power at this moment, slicing the giant snake in half with a single strike, and Susanoo's massive body completely blocked the iron needles!

"The strongest puppeteers are those who modify themselves, treating their bodies, bloodlines, and everything else as materials, as tools for creating puppets."

Instead of using props to transform oneself into something neither human nor ghost, seemingly pursuing eternity but actually achieving nothing.

You, this puppeteer, are far inferior to any I've ever seen before!

Yuri spouted a string of nonsense at Sasori, then Susanoo turned and, taking advantage of Sasori's momentary daze, slashed at Sasori and the puppets of the Third Kazekage.

"Be careful!"

Pain snorted coldly, his Rinnegan chakra rapidly gathering before he raised one hand.

"Shinra Tensei!"

A powerful repulsive force appeared on the blade of the haori, making it impossible for him to strike.

More importantly, his body was pushed backward at that moment.

"Oh, that's interesting."

Yuri raised an eyebrow, his eyes darting around rapidly. At that moment, Susanoo also suddenly increased its power, and unknowingly, he actually blocked the "Shinra Tensei"!

"This is?"

Nagato's face revealed a fierce expression, as if he hadn't expected things to turn out this way.

"Earth Release: Earthquake Core!"

Just as Susanoo continued to press down, Onoki suddenly formed hand seals, and the earth instantly changed.

The haori, carrying Susanoo, was lifted into the air, and at that moment, Kakuzu also completed the hand seals.

"Wind Release: Pressure Damage!"

"Fire Release: Head Carving!"

Compound Ninja Technique·Fire Wind and Waves!

The howling wind and raging flames combined instantly, merging into a vast sea of ​​fire that spread wildly toward the haori.

"Use fire jutsu against me?"

Yuzhi gently shook her head. Kakuzu only used combinations of Wind Release and Fire Release, while Yuzhi was someone who had mastered Scorch Release.

Even if he doesn't dare to use it now, he can still get a general idea of ​​the power of the technique in front of him.

However, he was too lazy to use any ninjutsu to break it; he had a simpler method and there was no need to do so.

Suddenly, the skeleton's ribs swelled up, and in a moment it transformed into a giant that looked like a demon god!

"I wonder if Orochimaru has mastered the Impure World Reincarnation technique yet?"

Yuzhi muttered to himself, then shook his head with a smile.

Although the people present were all very strong, they might not pose as much of a threat to him as he had imagined.

Nagato hasn't fully mastered the abilities of the Six Paths yet, and the fact that he only used a clone might explain something.

Unless his true form comes, it's not certain that a mere Heavenly Dao clone can do anything to him.

Sasori and Kakuzu are very powerful, but their abilities are countered by Susanoo, so Hagoromo doesn't need to bother dodging them at all.

Orochimaru may have mastered the Impure World Reincarnation technique, but how much power does the Impure World Reincarnation he has created at this stage actually possess?

Maybe she really is an experienced newbie!

The one who truly felt troubled and threatened was Onoki, who was ready to take action at any moment, but now Hagoromo wasn't as afraid as before!

"Is that all?"

Watching the ever-spreading flames, Yuki gazed at Kakuzu, whose form had changed, and shook his head slightly.

"You've used the Earthly Grudge Yu like this; it's truly disappointing. You've lived for so many years, how come you haven't improved at all?"

"Who exactly are you?"

Upon hearing these words, Kakuzu felt a mix of emotions, but mostly he was filled with a sense of dread.

From the very first moment he saw this guy, he had a feeling of unease, and now that unease seemed to be growing stronger!

Who I am is not important, what matters is...

Before he finished speaking, Susanoo suddenly raised his long sword and swung it fiercely towards Kakuzu and the others.

"You didn't give me enough fun!"

boom--

The roar was deafening, and the earth began to shake violently at that moment.

Onoki and the others quickly dodged aside, gritted their teeth, and charged at the giant in front of them.

-

boom--

As their battle erupted, a deafening roar shook the entire forest.

The Iwa ninjas, who had been driven away by Onoki and quickly left the battlefield, stared in disbelief at everything in the distance.

Especially when they saw that giant, nearly a hundred meters tall, whose entire body was surging with purple chakra, they felt their scalps tingle!

"Susanoo, it's that guy again."

While taking care of Kurotsuchi and Deidara, Huangtu did not rush to the battlefield. He looked at the giant in the distance and felt a familiar yet unfamiliar chakra.

His memories from three years ago also began to resurface.

That time, when father and son fought together, they were beaten badly and were covered in dust. This was something he least wanted to recall.

However, the chakra giant seemed to be much larger than before, which made him suddenly realize something.

"So, back then, he really was just playing around?"

Watching the giant in the distance, wielding a sword in both hands, constantly swinging it in all directions.

Boom, boom, boom—

The continuous roar was deafening, and the enormous tremors, accompanied by billowing dust, swept outwards in all directions.

This immense power made Huang Tu's heart tremble slightly, but Deidara beside him stared into the distance with shining eyes.

"This kind of power, a casual swing can cause a huge explosion; that's art in itself."

Deidara muttered to himself, but the yellow earth was too busy to pay him any attention.

The earth-shaking tremors alone, along with the shockwaves carrying countless fragments and flying rocks, left him covered in dust and dirt.

Not only him, but the other Iwa ninja were also quickly dodging. Unfortunately, some of the unlucky ones were hit by boulders in the shockwave and died without knowing why.

"What happened?"

At the Konoha camp, the Third Hokage stared blankly into the distance, his head buzzing.

Since arriving in the Land of Grass, he has been setting up defenses and guarding against some of Iwagakure's underhanded tactics.

Iwagakure may not attack now; they are waiting for news from Kumogakure. But that doesn't mean they won't do something.

However, after several days of defense, no news came from Kumogakure, and the attack from Iwagakure had not yet arrived.

What happened next was an earthquake?

"Third Hokage, something has happened in Iwagakure!"

"Oh? What happened!"

Just as he was waiting for news, an ANBU member quickly came to his side, and upon hearing these words, the Third Hokage's eyes lit up instantly.

He ran quickly toward higher ground, intending to ask about the situation of the secret service, but before he could ask, he froze.

The high ground was now filled with Konoha ninja, all gazing into the distance.

However, due to the smoke and distance, what they could see was not clear.

They could only vaguely discern their enormous bodies as they ravaged the forest where the Rock Fortress was located.

The giant casually swung his long sword, and with the earth trembling and countless trees collapsing, only a scene of devastation remained!

More importantly, the collapsed tree inexplicably reappeared, creating a cycle that made people feel as if they were under an illusion.

The Konoha ninjas were all stunned by this scene from afar.

Many of them had already recognized that the giant was Susanoo, after all, Yui had never hidden the fact that she used this power in Konoha.

But they all remembered that the Susanoo of the Hagoromo was supposed to be as black as ink and gauze, but the one in front of them was a purple Susanoo!

"Who is this?"

Countless Konoha ninjas secretly swallowed hard, completely baffled by the situation.

"Are they those guys?"

But the Third Hokage frowned. He suddenly realized something; he could not forget the person who resembled Madara Uchiha.

The existence of this group is extremely threatening, and no one knows what they want to do.

Looking at the rampant chakra in the distance, the Third Hokage suddenly paused for a moment, and the next second, he couldn't help but smile.

But there were just too many people around, and he had to control his emotions.

It took him a while to make his complexion look normal again.

"I hope you really are Uchiha Madara."

The third generation muttered to himself, but just then he suddenly noticed a huge gravitational force appearing.

A sphere slowly appeared in the sky, and the purple Susanoo was actually sucked into it—

"Is this all you've got? Looks like I overestimated you."

In the center of the battlefield, Yuki stood with his arms crossed in the fourth stage of Susanoo, his gaze coldly fixed on the five people below.

The forest appears perfectly intact at this moment, but in reality, it has already been plowed up.

The trees here had long been transformed into Wood Release by the Hagoromo. If Onoki hadn't used Dust Release in time to sweep away the surrounding trees...

Their situation is only going to get worse now!

Hearing Yuzhi's words, the five of them had no intention of replying at all; they had been thoroughly tormented by Yuzhi.

With both Wood Release and Susanoo, who could withstand such an attack and defense?

If Onoki hadn't been so old yet still vigorous, and if his Dust Release wasn't so powerful, they would have been dead by now!

"If only I could possess the full power of the Rinnegan, things wouldn't be like this."

Nagato cursed inwardly, while Orochimaru's mind was also in turmoil.

"Is this really Uchiha Madara? It seems the only way to deal with this kind of person is through the Impure World Reincarnation, but the power of the Impure World Reincarnation..."

Sasori was also reflecting on what the guy in front of him had said earlier, and his eyes seemed somewhat unfocused, while Onoki was the only one who looked completely normal.

"Are you ready? If this continues, we might not be able to hold them off."

Onoki asked with slight anxiety, while Nagato, controlling Pain, took a deep breath and then nodded.

"Cover me."

Without a word, Payne nodded and then raised his hand.

"Let's do it!"

Orochimaru, Sasori, and Kakuzu exchanged a glance, and they immediately sprang into action.

"Oh, so you want to make a final, desperate attempt?"

Yuri raised an eyebrow, revealing a hint of amusement, but at this moment his chakra also began to surge rapidly.

He didn't know what these guys were up to, so it was better to be careful.

"Summoning - Ten Thousand Snakes!"

Orochimaru quickly formed hand seals, and Manda's enormous body rapidly appeared amidst thick smoke. At the same time, Kakuzu and Onoki also completed their respective techniques.

"Earth Release: Rock Giant!"

"Secret Technique: Earth Grudge!"

A giant rock giant suddenly appeared from behind Susanoo, reaching out with both hands to grab one of Susanoo's arms.

At the same time, countless black threads appeared from the ground, frantically wrapping around Susanoo's feet.

Manda had no chance to complain at this moment, as Orochimaru had already controlled it to quickly wrap around Susanoo's other hand.

"Oh!"

Sasori even had the Third Kazekage's black iron sand rush towards him at high speed, eventually wrapping around Susanoo's last leg!

"Hurry up, we can't hold this guy off for long!"

Onoki immediately shouted, while Nagato was breathing heavily inside the tree hollow.

"They've actually been forced to this point; it's a pity that the Heavenly Dao's power is indeed somewhat lacking."

He's just a little pale, but he's doing alright.

His hands remained in a hand seal, and a surge of powerful chakra coursed through his body.

When the chakra was condensed to its maximum, a black chakra sphere appeared in Pain's hand.

"Planetary Devastation!"

Nagato gave a low shout, and the condensed chakra sphere flew rapidly into the sky. In an instant, an immense suction force frantically surrounded Yuki's body!

Under such a crazy suction force, even Susanoo was pulled up violently.

The earth was pulled up by the powerful gravity, and countless giant rocks and trees kept covering the center, and a terrifying sphere appeared in the sky.

And at the center of this sphere, the purple Susanoo still stands out!

"What kind of power is this?"

As they watched the enormous sphere continuously coalesce, and as the surrounding terrain and the Wood Release technique created by the haori were absorbed, Onoki and the others' expressions became somewhat solemn.

If Manda hadn't run fast, he probably would have been sealed away along with that guy by now.

Such a technique is truly extraordinary!

"Well done."

Although Onoki was preoccupied with his own thoughts, he knew what was most important at the moment.

After giving Nagato a simple compliment, he began to form hand seals. Now was the perfect moment to take down this guy!

however……

The next moment, purple light rose again, and a powerful chakra explosion followed.

A huge gap appeared above the not-yet-fully-formed Chibaku Tensei, and half of Susanoo's body had already appeared outside!

"Damn it!"

Nagato cursed under his breath and increased his chakra output, but he also had some hesitation in his heart.

Is it worth risking your life in a place like this?

"I must say, you guys did a really good job."

Yuzhi stood inside Susanoo, seemingly unconcerned that half of Susanoo's body was sealed within Chibaku Tensei. He crossed his arms and his tone seemed to carry a hint of excitement.

"Maybe if you push a little harder, you might actually be able to hurt me. As a reward, I might show you my full power!"

"Bluster! Weren't you going all out just now?"

Onoki shouted, though a bad feeling was rising in his heart, he still couldn't lose his momentum.

Moreover, his hand seals were already complete, and a white light quietly appeared in his hands.

Yui ignored him, and the chakra that had been brewing for a long time erupted wildly at this moment, and the fourth stage of Susanoo changed wildly again in an instant!

"Damn it, Dust Release: Limit Decomposition!"

Onoki immediately sensed something was wrong. Without further hesitation, the terrifying white light surged towards Susanoo.

However, this time Yuri did not dodge. Susanoo roared and forcefully withstood the power of Dust Release, transforming into a giant hundreds of meters tall!

The terrifying Dust Release caused Susanoo to begin to dissolve, and it even threatened to pierce through Susanoo and reach the Hagoromo.

However, Yugi remained unmoved, and the hundred-meter-tall Susanoo continued to change.

boom--

The giant rock of Chibaku Tensei instantly shattered, and Susanoo floated in the air, with a pair of huge wings appearing behind him.

He was covered in heavy armor, and on his head appeared the helmet of a tengu.

He seemed like a god, or a demon or a demon, and the dust escape technique that could have pierced him dimmed at that moment.

The white light remained, but it could only stay on its surface. At this moment, the haori had appeared in the rhomboid chakra space on Susanoo's forehead.

"Is this the ultimate power of the kaleidoscope?"

Orochimaru watched all of this with burning eyes, while Sasori silently looked up at everything. He opened his mouth, but found that he could not make a sound.

Nagato was also somewhat stunned. He realized that the only way to deal with such power seemed to be to use the "Gedo Mazo".

Otherwise, no one could possibly deal with such a terrifying being, but he also had a question in his mind.

"Who exactly is this guy?"

Onoki had fallen silent, his eyes filled with fear. He was now completely convinced of this guy's identity.

Even if the color of Susanoo changes, even if the aura of chakra changes, he will never make a mistake.

He is that person, he is...

"Damn it, it's Uchiha Madara!"

Kakuzu glared angrily at Onoki, whose unease had finally come true.

"What kind of expressions are those on your faces?"

After stabilizing Susanoo, Yuzhi looked down at the seemingly stunned crowd below with a deep gaze, then raised his head slightly and spoke to them from his superior position.

"By the way, Libra kid, let me ask you a question: Have you ever experienced despair?"

"What do you mean?"

Onoki asked instinctively, but Haori did not answer him.

The next moment, Susanoo drew his sword.

In an instant, blades flashed across the ground, and the earth groaned in mournful cries.
