Konoha: Starting with Sage Mode

The Fourth Raikage instantly activated Lightning Release Chakra Mode, then grabbed two of his subordinates and used his body to shield them.

The people from Iwagakure were Onoki and two relatively unknown elite Jonin.

Onoki decisively used the Gangli Shiki technique to summon a rock giant with super strong defense, while the two elite Jonin used Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall to create more than ten thick earthen walls in front of the rock giant.

The people from Amegakure were Hanzo of the Salamander, Nagato, and Yahiko.

Of the three, Nagato reacted the fastest. His eyes instantly transformed into a pair of Mangekyou Sharingan, and he used Susanoo to summon a chakra giant with only an upper body but wearing armor, which enveloped the three of them.

Hanzo and Yahiko, shocked, each used their strongest defensive ninjutsu, Water Release: Water Barrier and Ice Release: Ice Wall, to assist in their defense.

The ninjas present were all elites from various ninja villages. When the Fourth Kazekage encountered an emergency, they all promptly employed defensive measures, all of which were accomplished in the blink of an eye.

The next moment, a huge sphere of light exploded and engulfed the massive building where the Five Kage Summit was being held. It emitted terrifying light and heat, and the many Iron Country warriors who remained there vaporized and died in the sphere of light.

Before long, the terrifying orb of light that had devoured countless lives gradually dimmed and disappeared, leaving behind only a huge crater.

The Fourth Kazekage and his two bodyguards had already disappeared into the distance.

A few seconds later, Minato, Tsunade, and Karen suddenly appeared in the woods not far from the crater, and then quickly came to the edge of the crater.

"Hua Lian, how is the situation?"

Upon seeing the Five Kage Summit in this state, Tsunade immediately questioned Hana and Ren.

Hua Lian had already activated her Byakugan to search for survivors, and with the help of the Byakugan's power, she quickly ascertained the current situation.

Just as she was about to report, a huge rocky hand emerged from the crater, and a rock giant, along with a somewhat dusty-looking Onoki and two elite Iwa ninja, emerged from the ground.

Then, a blue bolt of lightning descended from the sky, and the Fourth Raikage landed unharmed on the edge of the explosion crater not far away. Casalan and another elite Jonin from Kumogakure also quickly arrived at the Fourth Raikage's side.

Finally, a red chakra hand dug through the soil at the bottom of the crater, and a tengu samurai clad in armor leaped up from the ground, appearing before everyone with Hanzo, Nagato, and Yahiko.

When Tsunade saw that everyone in the villages other than Sunagakure was safe and sound, she breathed a huge sigh of relief.

If the leaders of other ninja villages were to die here, the problem would become much bigger. The Allied Shinobi Forces would definitely not be able to be formed, and they might even start fighting each other.

However, Tsunade's worries and tension did not completely disappear, and she remained on high alert.

The Fourth Kazekage, Akashi, suddenly unleashed that terrifying self-destruct ninjutsu, which was clearly not what he wanted to happen; there must be an enemy behind him.

Onoki, the Fourth Raikage, Hanzo, and the others were all very astute. They all realized this, so none of them spoke for the time being. They simply communicated with each other through their eyes and used their sensory ninjutsu to detect the location of the unknown enemy.

For a moment, the atmosphere at the scene became eerily heavy.

They found nothing. Not only were the sensory ninjutsu of village leaders such as Onoki, the Fourth Raikage, and Hanzo unable to pinpoint the enemy's location, but even Karen's Byakugan and Nagato's Kagura Mind's Eye failed to locate the enemy.

This mysterious enemy seems to have already left, giving them no chance to unite against him.

"Hmph, coward, if you have the guts, come out here. What kind of skill is this, resorting to such despicable tactics?"

The Fourth Raikage, enraged, couldn't help but curse.

The next moment, several bangs rang out, and several puffs of white smoke suddenly appeared in the sky. Three figures fell from the sky. They were all different people, but they had the same eyes: the Rinnegan on the left and the Mangekyou Sharingan on the right.

It was Madara Uchiha who created the Six Paths of Pain using the power of the Rinnegan.

"The Third Kazekage, the Third Mizukage, and the Fourth Mizukage, aren't you all dead? No, you're not them. Who are you?"

Onoki recognized the three of them instantly and exclaimed in surprise.

Upon hearing this, the others quickly recognized the three individuals and their expressions changed drastically.

"Hey, hey, hey, kid from Yunyin, didn't you want me to come out? Why are you so scared? Come on, let me see what you're capable of, and see if you're qualified to dance with me here."

The three Pain Paths spoke in unison.

"It really was you, you bastard, Uchiha Madara, die!"

Enraged, the Fourth Raikage heard the familiar voice and decisively activated Lightning Release Chakra Mode to charge forward.

With his Lightning Release Chakra Mode unleashed at full power, the Fourth Raikage moved with lightning speed. Ordinary people couldn't even see his movements; they only saw a flash of light before the Fourth Raikage rushed to the Preta Path Pain, who was made from the body of the Fourth Mizukage, intending to smash his head with a single punch.

But the next moment, a terrifying repulsive force struck, and the Fourth Raikage was instantly bounced back at an even faster speed, crashing heavily to the ground and leaving a deep hole.

The Third Kazekage, Pain, slowly lowered his raised right hand.

Shinra Tensei!

"Lord Raikage!"

Karanza and another elite Cloud Village Jonin immediately became anxious and rushed over to check the situation.

"I'm fine, cough cough~"

The Fourth Raikage quickly jumped out of the crater, coughing up some blood. Protected by the lightning armor formed by his Lightning Release Chakra Mode, Madara Uchiha's attack was not fatal, but the powerful impact it generated still caused some damage to his internal body.

Casalan hurriedly used his Healing Palm Technique to treat the Fourth Raikage, but the Fourth Raikage refused.

"Casalan, Isaac, you two listen up. Get out of here immediately and tell the villagers what's going on here."

The Fourth Raikage solemnly gave the order.

From the attack just now, he realized that the enemy who attacked this time was extremely powerful. The battle that was about to break out was probably only something that a Kage-level powerhouse could do. If Casalan and Isaac stayed here, they would only become cannon fodder and a burden.

Regardless, he was certain that Madara Uchiha was the true enemy of Kumogakure, and if they did not eliminate him, Kumogakure would have no future.

Chapter 366: Fighting Five Shadows Alone

"Yes, Lord Raikage."

Casalan obeyed immediately.

She had long wanted to leave this place, as it was far too dangerous. If it weren't for the Fourth Raikage's protection, she would have been dead long ago. But it was precisely because of this that she owed the Fourth Raikage for saving her life and didn't desert her post.

Now that the Fourth Raikage has ordered her to leave, she has a reason to leave, and it doesn't count as being ungrateful.

Isaac, standing to the side, seemed a bit awkward and didn't respond immediately. As a result, he was punched in the face by the Fourth Raikage, who angrily scolded him, "Idiot, you're just getting in the way here."

Upon hearing what the Fourth Raikage said, Isaac finally gave up and quickly left the battlefield with Casalan.

Madara paid no attention to the departure of the two insignificant insects, Casalan and Isaac, as he was enjoying the battle against four Kage-level shinobi simultaneously: Onoki, Tsunade, Hanzo, and Nagato.

All four were seasoned ninjas, and they could cooperate with each other without needing to say much.

At this moment, the Yin Seal between Tsunade's eyebrows had been activated, and the immense chakra accumulated over time erupted from her body. Furthermore, a special mark on the back of her hand emitted a red light and then a large number of incantations appeared.

These incantations quickly spread around Tsunade's body, causing rapid changes. Her already fair skin became even whiter, her golden hair turned silver, and her face developed a mask similar to that of the First Hokage when entering Sage Mode.

This is a symbol of Tsunade entering Sage Mode with the help of the perfect-level enhanced curse seal given to her by Kirito.

During this time, Tsunade has been making continuous progress. In order to share the burden with her good younger brother Kirito, she has been using shadow clones to handle the daily affairs of the Hokage, while her real body has been training hard in private.

With Kirito's great help, she successfully sensed natural energy through the perfect-level curse seal, and finally succeeded in combining natural energy with chakra, becoming a sage.

The only pity is that her Sage Mode is not perfect; it can only be achieved when the Enhancement Seal is activated. However, even so, she is still a true Sage.

Furthermore, after Tsunade became a sage, a powerful force that had been dormant within her finally awakened.

This power is the power of Wood Release.

Tsunade clapped her hands together, and a burst of chakra energy erupted from her body, catching Madara Uchiha's eye.

The next moment, a large number of tree roots grew from the ground and quickly grabbed at Uchiha Madara's Deva Path Pain (Third Kazekage), Preta Path Pain (Third Mizukage), and Naraka Path Pain (Fourth Mizukage).

Wood Release: Silent Binding Technique!

The three Pain members, under Madara Uchiha's control, quickly scattered to evade.

At this moment, although Onoki, Hanzo, and Nagato were all shocked that Tsunade could use Wood Release, the three of them keenly sensed the opportunity and decisively used different ninjutsu to cooperate.

Hanzo quickly completed the hand seals, and a three-headed water dragon suddenly appeared from his body, baring its fangs and claws as it charged towards the three Pains.

Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!

Nagato also formed a hand seal, and more than ten golden chakra chains shot out from his body. They all rushed towards the three Pains, cooperating with Tsunade's Wood Release ninjutsu to seal off the three Pains' positions.

"A great opportunity!"

Onoki suddenly shouted, and the white transparent cube he had prepared in his hand suddenly transformed into a huge beam of light that shot towards the Third Kazekage, Pain, who was being closely watched by Hanzo, Tsunade, and Minato.

Dust Release: Particle Style!

But at the crucial moment, a figure quickly stood in front of the Third Kazekage; it was none other than the Preta Path Pain, the Third Mizukage.

Onoki and the others were overjoyed, thinking that the other party had lost his mind.

But their faces quickly showed surprise, for the terrifying beam of light formed by Dust Release: Demise of the Primal World, capable of breaking down all matter into molecules, was actually absorbed by the frail body of the Third Mizukage.

In just a few seconds, Onoki's Dust Release: Particle Style technique ran out of steam and had to be interrupted.

At this moment, the originally thin and white-haired Third Generation Mizuki seemed to have received a great boost, and he was rejuvenated, quickly transforming into a handsome man with long black hair and squinty eyes.

Hungry Ghost Path - Sealing Technique: Absorption Seal!

At the same time, Hanzo's Water Dragon Bullet Technique and Adamantine Sealing Barrier were also affected by this technique, dissolved into the purest chakra, and then completely absorbed.

Only the tree roots that Tsunade had created using Wood Release chakra were unaffected. However, Pain was not idle; with a single Shinra Tensei, he destroyed and broke all the incoming tree roots.

"My Dust Escape technique has been neutralized in such a way."

Onoki looked at Pain, the Preta Path, who had 'eaten' his prized Dust Release technique, and said in disbelief.

The others also showed expressions of shock; this method of neutralizing ninjutsu was undeniably quite troublesome.

"Use magic to deal with him."

Tsunade suddenly shouted.

When Onoki, Hanzo, and the Fourth Raikage heard this, they were all very confused and distressed.

The power of magic is indeed great, but unfortunately they don't know how to use it.

Nagato and Yahiko, who were casually strolling along the edge of the battlefield, both wore thoughtful expressions.

Before anyone else could hesitate, Tsunade's attack arrived. She quickly completed the hand seals, and a high-speed stream of water formed from Water Release: Sage Mode chakra shot out from her mouth, like a sharp blade slashing towards the Preta Path Pain.

Wherever the waterline passes, everything is quickly sliced ​​in two as if it were a melon or vegetables.

Immortal Technique: Water Escape: Water Severing Wave!

"Interesting, but unfortunately, it's useless to me."

Pain laughed loudly, his voice carrying the deep pride of Madara Uchiha.

The next moment, Pain's attack came. With a wave of his right hand, another terrifying repulsive force appeared.
