Although he felt that mobilizing such a large force for just one person seemed a bit excessive, he couldn't ignore the individual who had willingly come forward.
No matter how strong or terrifying you might be, you are up against a force of thousands of well-trained ninjas who cooperate seamlessly.
What can you possibly do on your own? Could you truly wipe out the entire ninja army by yourself?
Truthfully, if Bungo had a choice, he would never opt for such a risky move.
At this moment, he felt a great unease, but he had no choice but to press on.
If he chose to retreat when faced with just one person, it would be a catastrophic blow to the morale of the entire Hidden Stone Village!
"Attack!"
With his command, the entire army of Stone ninjas erupted with a battle cry.
Without much direction, they charged forward as if possessed.
"What's going on?"
Kaito found the enraged army of Stone ninjas somewhat perplexing, but he didn't have the luxury of pondering it now.
The vast army surged towards him like a tidal wave, their sheer number overshadowing him, not even in the same league.
However, in ninja battles, even though numbers often matter, there are always exceptions.
For instance, Hashirama Senju and Uchiha Madara, and now, Kaito!
The distance between the two sides was closing rapidly. At this moment, Kaito's chakra peaked.
His eyes suddenly flashed a vivid crimson, with three tomoe continuously rotating in them, eventually merging into one.
He wasn't Uchiha Madara; he hadn't reached the level of the Rinnegan, especially not the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, which he wasn't familiar with. He wouldn't be careless.
As he activated these eyes, he seemed to understand why Uchiha Madara could remain so unfazed even when heavily surrounded.
He realized that he could now see everything with great clarity, whether it was the enemy's movements or expressions.
Within his field of vision, he could discern everyone's actions and even anticipate their next moves.
With such terrifying dynamic vision combined with his exceptional sensory abilities, he suddenly felt as though he could control the battlefield!
"Boom!"
Both sides moved with utmost speed, especially Kaito, who was unimaginably fast. In just a few breaths' time, Kaito had already reached the enemy front lines.
However, right in front of the astounded eyes of the Leaf ninjas and the incredulous looks of the Stone ninjas, he launched a fierce attack!
Accompanied by a dull thud, several front-line Stone ninjas were sent flying, and this continued on.
From a distance, it looked as if a massive wave had been pierced directly.
At that moment, within the army of Stone ninjas, screams rose and fell in succession.
Once inside the crowd, Kaito moved like a gracefully dancing butterfly, exhibiting the unique body techniques of the Uchiha clan to their fullest!
His hand movements seemed effortless, and the ninja blade in his hand was both precise and bloody.
Any ninja who even slightly made contact with him lost their life. Those with slightly better luck were left without any fighting ability.
In his hands, fighting had become an art form. Each move was incredibly simple and natural, but every single one was utterly despairing!
Gracefully dodging a kunai thrust by a Stone ninja, Kaito swung his ninja blade, slashing the man's carotid artery.
He then smoothly stepped back, avoiding a blade he had noticed from behind. His left hand produced another kunai, piercing the attacker's left chest.
Lowering his body quickly, Kaito skillfully evaded a blade swiping over his head, thrusting his own blade upward through the chin of another assailant.
As blood dripped down, Kaito didn't withdraw his blade but instead delivered a powerful punch with his right hand.
After several enhancements to his bloodline, amassing Yang Release chakra, and modifications to his body, his strength had reached a level incomparable to before.
Even when he had a blade-to-blade confrontation with Kisame in the past, he didn't fall behind by much.
Remember, Kisame wasn't just a chakra monster; his physical strength was also formidable.
However, even before the bloodline enhancements, Kaito wasn't too concerned about such a beast, let alone now?
Under his powerful punch, a Stone ninja was sent flying, and even more than a dozen of his comrades behind him were dragged down by the force.
"Die!"
Already deep within the enemy ranks, enemies surrounded Kaito on all sides.
Even though his speed was so fast that the enemy couldn't react in time, a slight pause would immediately attract enemies to him like sharks drawn to the scent of blood.
However, Kaito didn't care. He took a slight step forward, swinging his cold, gleaming long blade from behind.
He reached out with his right hand and, in an instant, caught the incoming kunai along with the arm that held it.
At that moment, the Stone ninja felt his arm being pulled out of his control, forcibly dragged in another direction.
"Clang!"
A light sound was heard as the kunai collided with another ninja's long blade.
But in the next instant, before either of them could react, both felt a sharp pain in their chests.
By the time blood was gushing from their mouths and they were sent flying backward with collapsed breastbones, they realized they had been kicked away by Kaito!
As Kaito landed, he grabbed with his right hand, producing a kunai with an exploding tag attached to it.
Half a second later, the kunai was thrown in the direction it had come from, while the exploding tag was placed on a nearby ninja.
"Boom!"
In just a moment, the kunai pierced into the body of the Stone ninja.
The ninja with the exploding tag was also sent flying, landing amidst the crowd and causing a massive explosion!
Kaito swiftly pulled out the ninja blade embedded in his enemy and quickly turned around, his eyes emitting a strange power.
The next second, a Stone ninja behind him, holding a blade, froze in place. All that remained in his mind was a bizarre shade of crimson.
Without pausing, Kaito's ninja blade swiftly slashed across this man's neck.
Blood splattered wildly in all directions, but Kaito continued to move like a fleeting shadow.
As the battle raged on, even though such combat was merely a warm-up for him, his familiarity with the power of his eyes continued to grow.
He moved through the crowd like a streak of light, continuously charging and bashing. Countless Stone ninjas didn't even know what happened before they were killed by him.
The bloody slaughter continued, but at that moment, he suddenly frowned slightly.
"Earth Release: Fist Rock!"
A powerful surge of chakra suddenly erupted beside him. A muscular figure had stealthily approached his side.
The figure's fist fiercely struck at Kaito with terrifying force and unbelievable speed that took one's breath away.
As Kaito walked towards the Stone ninja forces, everyone in the Leaf camp felt somewhat puzzled.
Perhaps only Shisui, Kakashi, and Kakuzu might have guessed, as well as Yaneko who had already known, and Tsunade who was already aware.
No one knew what the Leaf's Chief of Security, the head of the Uchiha clan, was thinking.
Yet, as he got closer and closer to the Stone ninja forces, they began to feel more and more anxious.
Was he planning to single-handedly challenge the entire Stone army?
The very thought made everyone wonder if the young Chief had gone mad. Who would dare to do such a thing?
Many had already drawn their kunai, readying their chakra, prepared to take action at any moment.
Yet, they received no orders throughout, which made them even more perplexed.
Could it be that their commander, Tsunade, wanted to watch this young Chief march to his death?
However, Kaito and the Stone ninjas continued without any pause. All they could see was the Chief suddenly accelerating, madly rushing into the crowd.
"Oh no, this is too reckless! Does Chief Kaito think he's the Fourth Hokage?"
Many experienced ninjas from the third war couldn't help but clench their teeth. Minato Namikaze had indeed left a profound impression on them back then.
Even the surrender of the Stone village back in the day had a lot to do with the Fourth Hokage.
Kaito isn't the Fourth. No matter how strong he might be, he couldn't possibly maneuver freely.
However, the moment the two sides clashed, everyone was stunned!
