This course of action seemed somewhat baffling to Kaito, but he currently had no time to be concerned with their details.
The members of Shisui's team were of high quality, including Kakuzu and Kakashi, which gave Kaito some peace of mind.
Although Kaito sometimes thought it was incredible that Kakuzu and Kakashi, who were enemies in the original story, were now in the same squad.
But setting aside their enmity from the original story, the two of them were indeed powerful, and their cooperation was certainly a formidable force.
Add Shisui into the mix, and they were definitely equipped to take on extremely dangerous missions.
"Fire Release: Great Fire Dragon Technique!"
While Kaito was preoccupied with the situation concerning Shisui and the others, his main focus was still on the five individuals in front of him.
Their strength was not to be underestimated; any lapse in attention could put Kaito himself in grave danger.
Standing atop the head of Susanoo, inside the crystal enclosure, Kaito rapidly formed hand seals.
His movements caused Susanoo to move as well, with Susanoo's hands starting to form seals, while the other two hands continued to swing the ninja sword.
The formidable blade edge shattered the ground, bisected a giant snake, and also scattered the black gravel that was flying towards him.
The next moment, from the mouth of the colossal Susanoo, five black and white intertwined flames in the form of giant dragons were unleashed.
These five black dragons roared deafeningly and madly charged towards the group of five led by Onoki.
The black dragons were incredibly fast and their massive size was evident, as was the tremendous force they were capable of exerting.
However, the five, including Onoki, remained calm, immediately starting to use their own abilities to deal with their troubles.
"Water Release: Torrent of the Four Sharks!"
Kisame rapidly formed hand seals, and in the next moment, four vertical leaping water sharks charged towards a fire dragon.
These small sharks naturally couldn't stop Kaito's fire dragon, but these sharks could split continuously!
After the first collision, they quickly divided, and then kept on smashing into Kaito's fire dragon relentlessly.
They were like raindrops, non-stop, until they completely extinguished Kaito's fire dragon!
"Hmph, Earth Release: Golem Technique!"
Onoki let out a cold snort, and the next moment, a giant rock golem roared to life.
This rock giant swung its fist fiercely at the black dragon, and in that instant, a thunderous roar suddenly erupted.
The black dragon of fire was actually shattered by a single punch from this rock giant!
Although it also started to ignite, it was clearly enough.
Orochimaru, Sasori, and Nagato each used different methods, but they also successfully blocked the assault of these fire dragons.
But just then, Kaito's figure flashed slightly, and he had already appeared in front of Onoki's rock golem!
His ninja sword mercilessly struck down on the rock golem, slicing it in two as easily as cutting through tofu.
The defense of the golem summoned by the Golem Technique was extremely strong, but it seemed insufficient in the face of Susanoo's power.
Onoki was clearly aware of this, hence he had not relied much on this technique.
Even if he used it, it was just to block the frenzied onslaught from Kaito. But the moment Kaito cut the rock golem in two, Onoki's eyes gleamed slightly.
His hands suddenly began forming seals, and with the appearance of the white light in his palms, the potent chakra began to surge wildly.
"Dust Release: Detachment of the Primitive World!"
Watching the pillar of white light once again stabbing towards him, Kaito's eyebrows couldn't help but twitch.
The trouble Onoki presented was truly unimaginable, especially that damned Dust Release which Kaito found difficult to avoid.
What was key is that from the reactions of the former Akatsuki members, these guys probably knew that Kaito did not want to face Dust Release.
They had not hesitated to create opportunities for Onoki, if it weren't for their lack of coordination, and the ongoing adaptation in the battle.
They might have actually found a chance to force Kaito to endure a blasting from Dust Release.
And just as Kaito was about to dodge, that annoying black sand appeared once again, and this time Orochimaru also quickly summoned a myriad of snakes to deal with him.
The Water Release from Kisame also erupted at that moment, and even Nagato, who fancied himself a god, used Shinra Tensei at that moment to pull Kaito in order to keep him from moving!
"That's really troublesome!"
Kaito's gaze narrowed slightly; such a scene was indeed hard to endure.
But Kaito was no easy opponent, especially with his continued use of Susanoo and his ongoing adaptation to the Mangekyō Sharingan.
He was in a constant state of improvement, his power being refined continuously.
Moreover, these people's beliefs and wills were not unified, and some were quite indecisive.
Even without using space-time ninjutsu, Kaito would absolutely not be afraid of these guys!
"How difficult it must be for Onoki, trying to cooperate with such insects, how could he possibly defeat me?"
Kaito's chakra burst forth explosively, and his Susanoo also let out a roar.
The next moment, the sand and gravel that had just entwined around him were directly shattered by Susanoo's blade!
The vast blade crossed over the black sand, then crazily headed towards Sasori's position.
Sasori had no choice but to immediately control the Third Kazekage puppet to take himself away from there.
At the same time, another hand of Susanoo's ninja sword disappeared, and it grabbed the mass of snakes that had just entwined around it.
The giant hand clenched tightly around the head of the mass of snakes, which immediately began to struggle frantically.
With a 'bang', the mass of snakes could no longer withstand the power of Susanoo and directly vanished back to the summoning world.
A cloud of smoke enveloped Susanoo, and at that moment, Kaito took advantage of the thick smoke to leap out from the top of Susanoo's head.
Just as he moved away, the white beam of light directly pierced through Susanoo's head.
But at that point, the Dust Release had only hit a scatter of chakra, as Kaito had already quietly landed on the water surface created by Kisame.
"He's out, everyone be alert!"
Kisame instantly noticed the situation and quickly began forming hand seals with his hands.
"Water Release: A Thousand Feeding Sharks!"
However, the moment he completed the jutsu, his expression changed dramatically: "Get away from the water surface!"
But it was still a bit too late; accompanied by a terrifying burst of chakra, the water surface visibly began to freeze over!
"Ultimate Secret Technique: Ice Release - Ice Enclosure Grave!"
Kaito's chosen technique was also very straightforward; facing Water Release, he directly opted for Ice Release.
Ever since he had obtained Ice Enclosure Grave, Kaito had never used this technique.
Although he had studied it thoroughly due to Yin Release, studying it did not mean that the actual use would be effective.
After all, when it came to Water Release, Kaito was somewhat unfamiliar. Keep in mind that he is a very traditional Uchiha.
However, unfamiliarity with Water Release or even this technique did not mean Kaito was incapable of using it.
Especially since Kaito could harness the power of Yin-Yang Release, the difficulty of this technique was not as challenging as he had imagined.
Although Kaito was not without wild ideas, wanting to try mixing Yin Release or Yang Release into other elemental techniques.
But after some simple attempts, he decisively gave up, as he found that each technique that was infused with Yin Release or Yang Release had very high ratio requirements.
This was definitely not something to be meddled with casually. If the ratio was off even slightly, the consequences would not be a joke.
Perhaps Kaito himself had to be more creative, or maybe it was time for him to be more open-minded.
The only regret he has now is that not much of the Yin Release or Yang Release techniques from a thousand years ago were preserved, even the Uchiha did not get much.
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that they actually existed, but were taken away by Uchiha Madara; otherwise, how could Madara have the technique of Yin Release: Thunder Dispatch?
But these things are not what Kaito needs to consider right now. After the battle, he can properly think and ponder, but for now, he must deal with his enemies!
As his chakra surged, the entire water surface was frozen in an instant.
And such freezing continued to spread wildly; the sharks that Kisame had just summoned were also completely frozen at this moment.
Everyone standing on the water surface could only retreat immediately, seemingly sensing the terrifying danger of this Ice Release.
"How does this guy know Ice Release?"
But as they retreated, they couldn't help but ponder this question in their minds.
Ice Release was a unique kekkei genkai of the Hidden Mist Village, and moreover, that clan had been annihilated.
And this Uchiha Kaito is from the Uchiha clan, known for their Fire Release; how could he know Ice Release?
These thoughts kept spinning in their minds, but no matter what, they could not find any information.
At this moment, Onoki was also full of confusion; he couldn't figure out why either.
