Konoha: Starting with Sage Mode

These were the Mist Ninja who were willing to die to act as human bombs in order to kill the White Snake Sage. They grabbed the White Snake Sage's body and then detonated all the explosive tags on his body.

However, the White Snake Sage's physical body was too powerful. After being modified by the power of the Rinnegan and the Gedo Mazo, it was further enhanced and could no longer be harmed by ordinary ninjutsu and explosive tags.

The result of these Mist Ninjas' willingness to die was merely that some of the White Snake Sage's scales developed charred spots, which did not effectively harm his body at all.

"Let it end. From now on, Kirigakure will be history."

Madara Uchiha said coldly.

The next moment, a terrifying burst of Sage Chakra erupted from the White Snake Sage's body, and countless earth spikes suddenly rose from the ground, precisely piercing through the bodies of a large number of Mist Ninja in the surrounding area.

Immortal Technique: Inorganic Rebirth!

In an instant, hundreds of Mist Ninja were killed by the White Snake Sage controlled by Madara Uchiha.

The area within a radius of several hundred meters instantly turned into a dead zone.

"You beast, you deserve to die!"

Suddenly, an extremely angry voice erupted.

A ninja clad in a red tailed beast robe charged at the White Snake Sage at high speed. Like a cannonball, it struck the White Snake Sage, knocking the mountain-sized White Snake Sage back a short distance.

"Hahaha~, you've finally shown up, Six-Tails Jinchuriki. I thought you were going to keep playing the coward."

Upon seeing this, Madara Uchiha burst into laughter.

He had already discovered that the Six-Tails Jinchuriki of Kirigakure was hiding nearby, but he didn't know why he had been transplanted and was unable to make it out.

Instead of actively hunting them down, he forced them out by destroying Kirigakure.

He had two purposes in manipulating the Animal Path Pain to launch a surprise attack on Kirigakure: one was to seize the tailed beasts there, and the other was to destroy Kirigakure.

His Eye of the Moon plan is destined to make him an enemy of the entire world, and before that, he must eliminate all forces of resistance.

Mist Shadow was the first.

"Come out, Six-Tails, kill him."

The Six-Tails Jinchuriki roared in agony.

He wasn't deliberately hiding; it was simply that he couldn't properly utilize the power of the Tailed Beasts. Forcing them to use them would only cause him to go berserk, giving the Tailed Beasts a chance to break free of their seals and escape, making him a burden instead.

However, the sudden and tragic deaths of so many outstanding companions made him realize that the enemy that had attacked this time was too powerful, and that he would have to use the power of the tailed beasts to defeat them.

To protect the village and avenge his fallen comrades, he was willing to risk everything and voluntarily released the seal within his body.

The next moment, a surge of powerful red chakra erupted from the Six-Tails Jinchuriki's body, and then quickly transformed into a six-tailed slug as large as a mountain.

As soon as it appears, it oozes a large amount of mucus from its body. When this mucus falls to the ground, it instantly corrodes the ground, creating small holes.

"The Rinnegan, so utterly evil, is it your target?"

The six-tailed rhinoceros dog stared at the white snake sage's enormous Rinnegan and said coldly.

"Since you understand, then give up resisting. You should know that you are no match for me."

Madara Uchiha, controlling the White Snake Sage, spoke.

As soon as he finished speaking, a stream of white liquid spurted from the mouth of the six-tailed rhinoceros dog, thus demonstrating its stance.

This time, Madara Uchiha didn't risk having the White Snake Sage's body directly absorb the liquid spewed out by the Six-Tails. Instead, he quickly moved his massive body and used Inorganic Reincarnation to manipulate the earth, creating a giant four-armed Tengu warrior from the soil.

The four-armed tengu samurai moved all four arms simultaneously, wielding a massive rock samurai sword that swiftly sliced ​​through the six tails, cutting their bodies into several pieces.

However, the six-tailed rhinoceros's body was not damaged at all. Its body segments quickly came together and healed in the blink of an eye. It was clear that simple physical damage could not harm it.

At the same time, a large amount of white smoke emanated from the Six-Tails' body, spreading to the surrounding area.

The four-armed tengu warrior's body melted instantly upon contact with the mist.

Clearly, this white smoke is the strong acid mist released by Liuwei, possessing terrifying corrosiveness capable of dissolving everything.

"Hehehe~, is that all you've got? Nothing special."

Not far away, the Beast Path Pain, the White Snake Sage, sneered, and then his body once again erupted with terrifying Sage Chakra fluctuations.

It once again used the immortal technique, Inorganic Rebirth, and this time, it manipulated the surrounding air.

The next second, countless air currents, under the control of the White Snake Sage, transformed into a whirlwind, blowing away all the strong acid mist released by the Six-Tails, and then forming a huge tornado that enveloped the Six-Tails.

The six-tailed creature endured countless wind blades cutting through it, its body shattering into pieces, causing it to continuously emit mournful screams of pain.

Seeing that even the mighty Six-Tails had been easily suppressed by the White Snake Sage, the many Mist Ninja scattered around felt a deep sense of despair.

Is there really no hope left?

Is the Fog Shadow destined for destruction?

Chapter 353: Convening the Five Kage Summit

"Hehehe~, that's it, that's it. Despair, humans, despair before absolute power, then run away, surrender, and finally die with resentment and hatred. This is your fate."

On the battlefield in Kirigakure, Black Zetsu, hiding in the shadows, watched as the Kirigakure ninjas gradually succumbed to despair in the face of the overwhelming power displayed by Uchiha Madara, and chuckled smugly.

Its long life is too boring and lonely, so it must often create some fun for itself to amuse itself.

Of all these forms of amusement, nothing was more interesting to him than toying with humans.

He found it most amusing to toy with ninjas, those guys who were smug about stealing power from their mothers.

Madara Uchiha was the most perfect toy he had ever created, yet he was the one that was destroyed by the descendants of the Sage of Six Paths, Hamura Otsutsuki, or even the reincarnation of his eldest son.

Nothing could please it more.

In the time to come, it will continue to guide Uchiha Madara, so that he can personally end this world full of strife, and then clean up this world in order to welcome his mother's resurrection.

The Six-Tails is trapped in a massive tornado, and it is in great pain as countless wind blades within the tornado cut into its body every moment.

Although it is not afraid of being cut and has a terrifying self-healing ability, it is almost immortal as long as its chakra is not depleted. However, it is still a living creature and is afraid of pain. The pain caused by its body being constantly cut and reassembled makes it feel like it is about to have a mental breakdown.

"Stop, I surrender."

On the verge of a mental breakdown, the Six-Tails finally couldn't help but surrender to Madara Uchiha.

Upon hearing this, the faces of the many Mist Ninja on the battlefield turned to despair. Even the powerful Six-Tails had surrendered; what could they possibly use to fight against that terrifying giant white serpent?

In an instant, a profound sense of despair enveloped the entire Hidden Mist Village.

Some weak-willed Mist Ninja went berserk, launching suicidal charges against the enemy like madmen, but most of them no longer cared about the destruction of the village and turned to flee for their lives.

With these cowardly Mist Ninjas fleeing, the morale of the Mist Ninjas on the battlefield finally collapsed, plummeting completely.

Seeing this, Madara Uchiha did not pursue the fleeing Mist Ninja, but instead began to seal the Six-Tails, which was lying on the ground like a lump of mud.

Meanwhile, a dozen kilometers north of Kirigakure, the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi, was leading a group of people rapidly toward the village. Upon receiving news that the village had been attacked, he immediately abandoned the mission and returned the way he came.

But when he saw the thick smoke rising from the direction of the village, his heart sank to the bottom.

"Who exactly attacked the village? How despicable!"

"I'm furious," said Yagura, a man in his throes.

As he spoke, he subconsciously sped up and overtook everyone else in an instant.

A dozen minutes later, Yagura Karatachi finally returned to Kirigakure, only to find the village reduced to ruins, with the corpses of many Kirigakure ninjas scattered among the rubble.

At this time, the White Snake Sage, Madara Uchiha's Animal Path clone, had already left, taking the Six-Tails with him. Only a dozen or so summoned snakes from Ryuchi Cave remained at the scene.

"what!!!"

When Yagura saw this, his heart ached terribly, and he couldn't help but let out a heart-wrenching scream.

If he hadn't already been a perfect Jinchūriki, and hadn't reconciled and been of one mind with the Three-Tails, he would have already gone out of control and gone berserk, but this still caused a large amount of Tailed Beast Chakra to gush out from his body.

After the pain, an endless killing intent began to take over Yagura's mind.

The next moment, he rushed towards the nearest giant snake and tore it in two with a giant claw formed from the tailed beast's chakra. Then, he charged at the other giant snakes like a madman, determined to kill all the monsters that were destroying his village.

But just as he successfully killed the third giant serpent, he was suppressed by a terrifying gravity and pinned to the ground, unable to move.

Then, he saw a middle-aged ninja with both the Rinnegan and the Mangekyou Sharingan, who was none other than Pain, the Third Kazekage, under Madara Uchiha.

A great war broke out.

The battle between Pain and the Third Mizukage lasted for nearly half an hour before it ended, and the entire Hidden Mist Village was reduced to ruins and then turned into a white wasteland.

From then on, Kirigakure was removed from the ninja world.

The tragedy that occurred in Kirigakure was undoubtedly a momentous event in the ninja world. In less than half a day, the news spread from the Land of Water to the mainland, shocking all the forces on the mainland.

The Land of Lightning, Hidden Cloud Village.

Because the Land of Water and the Land of Lightning are very close, the Hidden Cloud Village was the first among all the ninja villages to receive the bad news from the Hidden Mist Village.

The Third Raikage was furious because Yugimaru, the Two-Tails Jinchuriki, had lost contact with him, but upon receiving this news, his anger vanished instantly, replaced by a chill that ran through his body. He then immediately summoned the village's leaders for a meeting.

At the same time, he ordered the alarm to be sounded, putting the village on high alert.

In the Raikage's office, the Fourth Raikage and many Jonin from the village gathered together. They all had extremely solemn expressions on their faces because they had all learned of the destruction of Kirigakure.

"Enough with the small talk. You are all aware of the situation in Kirigakure. The village is now officially on high alert. Your responsibility is to protect the village and keep the enemy out of it."

The Fourth Raikage said solemnly.

"Yes, Lord Raikage."

All the Jonin said in unison.

As soon as they finished speaking, they all used the Instantaneous Movement technique to disappear from the room, then dispersed and quickly headed to various important passes outside the village, on alert for any enemies that might appear.

"Eluyi, how's the situation in Konoha?"

After the group of Jonin left, the Fourth Raikage immediately asked about his secret technique, Elo.

The destruction of Kirigakure really frightened him. Although he didn't know the full extent of Kirigakure's strength, he had a general idea. In terms of overall strength, Kirigakure was now much stronger than Kumogakure.

Even so, Kirigakure was still destroyed.

The Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Mist Village were neighbors. When their neighbor was destroyed, the Hidden Cloud Village had no idea what was happening, which shows how quickly the Hidden Mist Village was destroyed.

In that case, if the enemy that destroyed Kirigakure were to attack Kumogakure, it probably wouldn't take long.

Upon realizing this, the Fourth Raikage felt a chill run down his spine, deeply sensing the extremely dangerous situation facing the Hidden Cloud Village.

"It's too short a time, and there's still no reply. Lord Raikage, please remain calm. If even you lose your composure, the people below will only become more anxious."
