Konoha: Starting with Sage Mode

Shinra Tensei!

Tsunade's Water Severing Wave was instantly defeated.

Moreover, the power of Pain's Shinra Tensei this time was much greater than before, and its range was also incredibly vast.

In an instant, Tsunade and the others felt themselves being struck head-on by a terrifying force, spitting out a mouthful of blood and flying backward.

Only with the protection of the third-stage Susanoo giant was Nagato able to barely maintain his footing during Pain's Shinra Tensei, which consumed a huge amount of chakra. However, he could only maintain his footing; attacking was extremely difficult.

At this moment, the Third Mizukage of the Preta Path and the Fourth Mizukage of the Hell Path arrived, and they both set their sights on Nagato.

The Third Mizukage appeared in front of the Susanoo Giant in the blink of an eye, and then placed his hand on the Susanoo Giant.

In an instant, a large hole appeared in the Susanoo Giant's body, and its body rapidly disintegrated.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the Fourth Mizukage rushed into the large hole and quickly pressed one hand down on Nagato's head.

He was going to use the Human Path's ability to extract souls. As long as his hand successfully touched Nagato's body, Nagato, the biggest threat to him on the field, would be finished, and he would be able to take the opportunity to seize Nagato's Mangekyou Sharingan.

Just as the Fourth Mizukage was about to succeed, the pupil pattern in Nagato's Mangekyou Sharingan in his left eye socket began to spin rapidly.

A spacetime black hole suddenly appeared in front of Nagato.

Chapter 367: A New Application of the White Eye

Madara Uchiha's Human Path Pain, the Fourth Mizukage, was caught off guard by the sudden spacetime black hole. He tried to dodge, but it was too late. The immense inertia carried him into the spacetime black hole, whose destination was unknown.

As soon as the Fourth Mizukage entered the spacetime black hole, the black hole shattered like a broken mirror, and space returned to stability, as if the black hole had never existed at all.

However, one of Madara Uchiha's Pain clones was indeed ambushed by this attack and is now missing.

For a moment, Madara Uchiha's other Pain clones stopped attacking, retreated a distance, and stared intently at Nagato, the former vessel of the Rinnegan.

He did not inflict heavy losses on the enemy, but instead caused them to lose an important part of his fighting force.

It has to be said, this slap in the face came rather quickly.

"Good, good, good. I didn't expect that the eye technique born from one of your awakened Mangekyou Sharingan would be a space-time type. Do you know the name of that move just now?"

Madara Uchiha wasn't one to be a sore loser. After a moment of silence, he controlled Pain, the Third Kazekage, and laughed loudly.

Kaleidoscope: Guardian of the Sky!

This is the unique eye technique born from Nagato's left Mangekyou Sharingan, the effect of which is to instantly open a spatial gate at the point of vision.

The reason he created this ninjutsu was because of his strong desire to protect himself, and he wanted to use this spatial gate to neutralize all attacks aimed at his comrades.

This space-time eye technique itself has no offensive power; it can only be used for passive defense.

However, once the enemy is trapped inside, it is almost impossible for them to get out, because he himself does not know where the spatial gate he opened with the Void Guardian leads.

Because of this, this space-time eye technique consumes a huge amount of chakra. If it weren't for his Uzumaki clan bloodline, which gave him chakra comparable to that of a tailed beast, he wouldn't even be qualified to use it with the chakra of an ordinary elite Jonin.

Even so, it would be good if he could use it three times in a short period of time. If he used it more than three times, he might go blind and be unable to restore his vision through other means.

"It's a shame you won't tell me. Well then, let's end the warm-up here and see what kind of eye technique your other Mangekyou Sharingan has."

While they were talking trash, Uchiha confirmed that he couldn't summon Pain back using the Summoning Jutsu, and said coldly.

The next moment, a bolt of lightning shot towards Madara Uchiha's Preta Path Pain.

The one who made the move at that moment was the Fourth Raikage, who paid no heed to Madara Uchiha's trash talk.

Madara Uchiha didn't even blink when faced with the Fourth Raikage's full-force Lightning Release Chakra Mode attack.

To ordinary people, the Fourth Raikage's speed at this moment is very fast, but under the scrutiny of his Rinnegan, it is actually just the level of an ordinary person.

So, just when the Fourth Raikage thought he had succeeded in his sneak attack, the Third Mizukage caught his outstretched fist a step ahead of him.

In an instant, the Fourth Raikage felt his chakra being sealed and unable to be mobilized. His Lightning Release Chakra Mode was interrupted, and the chakra within his body was being rapidly absorbed by the enemy.

"You reckless brute from Kumogakure, who do you think you are facing? You dare to launch a sneak attack on me with a mere Lightning Release Chakra Mode?"

Madara Uchiha scoffed.

As they were talking, the Third Kazekage was about to make his move against the Fourth Raikage.

Several sharp iron spikes took shape and pierced towards the Fourth Raikage while spinning at high speed.

Magnet Release: Whirlwind Kill!

The Fourth Raikage inherited the bloodline and ninjutsu of the Third Raikage, and his body was also incredibly tough. However, compared to the Third Raikage, his physical body was undoubtedly far inferior, and he simply could not withstand the Magnet Release ninjutsu, which was obviously extremely penetrating, like that of Madara Uchiha.

Tsunade immediately launched a rescue operation, clapping her hands together to unleash Wood Release: Wood Wall, creating a sturdy and thick wooden wall in front of the Fourth Raikage.

Hanzo also used Water Release: Water Barrier to assist in the defense.

With the help of two people's defensive ninjutsu, the Fourth Raikage managed to survive the Third Kazekage's attack.

At the same time, Onoki and Nagato chose to use the strategy of "besieging Wei to rescue Zhao" to carry out the rescue. The white beam representing Dust Release shot towards the Third Kazekage like lightning, followed closely by more than ten golden chains.

Unfortunately, the Third Kazekage dodged their attacks with a quick Body Flicker Technique. When he reappeared, he was already behind the Fourth Raikage, holding a fan made of iron sand. Its edges were incredibly sharp, and when covered with Wind Release chakra, its sharpness became even more formidable.

The Third Kazekage used his fan as a sword to slash at the Fourth Raikage, determined to kill him.

"boom!"

At the critical moment, a bullet coated with both Wind Release and Lightning Release chakra struck the Third Kazekage's hand holding the Iron Sand Fan.

The Third Kazekage's right hand snapped off.

On the other side, a kilometer away from the battlefield, Hinata Karen was standing on a stone pillar, firing a giant sniper rifle.

"As expected of Kirito-kun's invention of ninja tools, their power and accuracy are truly impressive."

Hyuga Karen watched as she shot down the hand of the Third Kazekage, Pain, from Madara Uchiha, successfully halting his attack to kill the Fourth Raikage, and couldn't help but praise him once again.

She became very frustrated after realizing that she could not gain the approval of the giant yellow Tenseigan.

At this moment, Kirito found her and handed her this ninja tool called the Grim Reaper.

The Grim Reaper is incredibly expensive; over 90% of its material is chakra metal, allowing chakra to flow in unimpeded, thus enabling the smooth operation of various enhancement techniques that strengthen its shooting capabilities.

Even its bullets are made of chakra metal combined with other rare metals.

Because of its exorbitant cost, the bullets it fires are powerful enough to penetrate shields made of chakra metal, and its firing speed is terrifying, not much slower than Kirito's Lightning Release Chakra Mode.

Just now, Hua Lian originally intended to aim at the Third Kazekage's head, but considering that powerful ninjas have extremely strong sensory abilities and might be able to detect danger in advance, and that the Third Kazekage was obviously just a dead man, she changed her mind and aimed at his hand.

Pain's arm was suddenly severed by a bullet, and Madara Uchiha was stunned for a moment because he couldn't figure out where the enemy's attack came from.

The only thing that can be said for sure is that the attack did not come from the people around them.

"Long-range strike capability, huh?"

Madara Uchiha quickly realized this, and his heart sank slightly.

He has never been afraid of any kind of direct combat capability of the enemy.

However, this long-range attack capability, which he cannot detect immediately, is indeed a considerable problem.

Chapter 368: Total Annihilation?

Guns paired with eye rolls.

This was an idea Kirito had long ago, but he hesitated to bring it up because he estimated that the appearance of this combination would greatly enhance the strength of the Hyuga clan, making it difficult to control them in the future.

If the Hyuga clan takes the initiative to seek change and compromise, then he won't mind taking it out.

Moreover, with Madara Uchiha as a formidable enemy, it's not a big deal to bring it out in advance. Compared to Madara Uchiha, the Hyuga clan's lack of cooperation is nothing.

As a skilled warrior, Madara Uchiha quickly adjusted his mindset and decisively gave up on continuing to kill the Fourth Raikage. At the same time, he completed the hand seal with one hand and created four shadow clones.

On the other side, the Fourth Raikage was also rescued from the clutches of the Third Mizukage, Pain, by Nagato and Hanzo working together. However, most of the Fourth Raikage's chakra had been absorbed by the Third Mizukage, greatly reducing his fighting power.

"How is this possible? He actually managed to do this. He really did steal the chakra of the five tailed beasts through some method. He must be the strongest Jinchuriki in the ninja world now."

The next moment, Onoki looked at the actions of the four Uchiha clones in front of him and broke out in a cold sweat. He finally believed the words that Tsunade had said at the Five Kage Summit, which sounded like a myth.

Madara Uchiha truly had the ability to utilize all the power of the captured tailed beasts.

Otherwise, how could a mere four shadow clones possibly unleash Susanoo?

While Tsunade and the others remained solemn, the four Uchiha shadow clones unleashed their Susanoo, unleashing a torrent of chakra from their bodies—first their skeletons, then their flesh, and finally their thick chakra armor.

With just four shadow clones, they actually used Susanoo - Third Stage, transforming into fully armed blue tengu samurai. One of the tengu samurai went straight for Nagato's Susanoo giant, and the weapons in their hands clashed, unleashing a terrifying aftershock.

Two of the remaining three rushed towards Tsunade and Onoki respectively, while the last one charged straight towards the direction from which the sniper bullets were coming.

Seeing that Madara Uchiha had created a shadow clone that could use Susanoo to deal with him, Hua Lian sneered inwardly and decisively fired again.

With a bang.

The shadow clone of Madara Uchiha that rushed towards her suddenly had a large hole appear between its eyebrows, and it turned into a wisp of white smoke and disappeared.

Then, Hua Lian fired three more shots, successfully killing three of Madara Uchiha's shadow clones.

Hua Lian's amazing battle gave everyone a jolt of energy and boosted morale.

"Kirito's inventions are really powerful. If Konoha had more of these kinds of ninja tools, it wouldn't be too difficult to deal with Uchiha Madara."

Seeing how amazing the sniper rifle ninja tool in Hana's hands was, Tsunade couldn't help but think optimistically.

She had just tested how powerful the Susanoo used by this Uchiha shadow clone was. Although Wood Release could stop it, it couldn't utilize its ability to absorb chakra. The reason was that the chakra on these Tengu samurai was extremely solidified, and their defense was incredibly strong. Ordinary ninjutsu simply couldn't break through their defenses.

If it weren't for Hua Lian's intervention, these people might have been overwhelmed by these four shadow clones, not to mention there were two other beings whose strength was even more terrifying than these shadow clones.

The death of the shadow clone made Madara Uchiha, who was engaged in a fierce battle with four Kage-level shinobi, feel a chill in his heart. He realized that the sniper in the distance was more powerful than he had imagined, and that the bullets fired by the sniper were incredibly powerful.

It can easily break through the defenses of the third stage Susanoo. With this power, it might even be able to break through the chakra armor of the fourth stage Susanoo.

He never expected that the enemy would develop such a terrifying weapon so quietly. In terms of danger, this thing was no less threatening to him than the Cloud Village's chakra cannon, and in some ways even more so.

Having lost one of Pain's clones, he was already struggling to fight Tsunade, Onoki, the Fourth Raikage, and Nagato alone. Now, with the addition of a terrifying sniper who could launch sneak attacks at any time, the situation was becoming increasingly unfavorable for him.

Besides, he hadn't forgotten Minato Namikaze, the new Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

Since the start of the battle, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki has disappeared, which is strange and makes him wary.

Even so, he still has enough confidence to win this battle.

"The game is over. Now, prepare for the judgment of God."

The Third Kazekage, Pain, suddenly said this.
