บท 271: Chapter 271
Orochimaru was well aware of his own predicament; he dared not make any eye contact with Kaito.
He immediately closed his eyes and struggled backward, but Kaito's ninjato still swiftly stabbed into his abdomen.
"Die!"
But just then, Kaito suddenly realized that a large amount of black sand had appeared behind him.
This black sand quickly converged into a cone-like sharp object and viciously sped towards Kaito's back.
"Is that the ability of the Third Kazekage, Sasori?"
Kaito quickly judged in his mind, though he could also tell that this guy really didn't get along with Orochimaru.
He only chose to strike after Orochimaru had been stabbed by Kaito, although the stab would certainly not pose any real problem for Orochimaru.
Moreover, the timing he chose was very good; at least Kaito now had no space to dodge.
"But this makes it interesting, at least more so than dealing with those ordinary ninjas!"
Kaito thought to himself. He didn't choose to use space-time ninjutsu to escape but instead, the brilliance of Susanoo shone on him once again.
"Ding!"
The black sand hitting Susanoo's body produced a grating sound, and as Kaito's chakra continued to surge, Susanoo's size suddenly increased.
Kaito glanced at Tendo Pain, who still hadn't made a move, and suddenly laughed scornfully.
He probably knew what this guy was thinking; he probably disdained the idea of ganging up on Kaito.
Just a vessel, yet so full of thought, does he really think he is a god?
"Boom!"
The thirty to forty meters tall Susanoo swung its fists, and Orochimaru in front of it was suddenly sent flying.
The black sand beside him was completely shattered by Susanoo's movements, while Kaito stood within Susanoo with his arms crossed over his chest.
His massive chakra boiled continuously, blowing his clothes and hair about like the wind.
He looked calmly at the people before him, then finally spoke in a subdued voice.
"It's interesting, but I don't like being pressured while fighting, so now it's my turn!"
As his voice fell, giant chakra blades once again appeared on the four arms of Susanoo.
The blades swung fiercely, and in an instant, a force akin to the sky falling and the earth splitting madly attacked them.
"Magnet Release: Iron Sand Shield!"
"Earth Release: Lithic Press Technique!"
Sasori and Ōnoki, witnessing this scene, simultaneously used their ninjutsu to defend.
Unexpectedly, the defensive techniques of the two overlapped and cleverly merged.
Iron sand covered the rock giant, forming a dual layer of protection that shielded everyone.
Amid the loud noise, gravel and broken stones kept falling.
Their defense had already been battered and tattered under Kaito's ninjato assault, but no matter what, they had managed to defend themselves.
It was only by joining forces that they had managed to do so, which didn't exactly leave them feeling wonderful.
However, at the moment, they had no time to dwell on these thoughts, as they had already sensed that Kaito was launching an attack.
Sasori looked up at Pain in the sky, who hadn't made a move, and his heart was also filled with annoyance.
But at this time, he was too lazy to bother with so much and directly spoke to Ōnoki, Kisame, and Orochimaru, who had emerged from underground.
"Some people seem to be hopeless and useless, but now we need to cooperate; otherwise, we're likely to be in trouble."
"No need to say, I already know."
Ōnoki's gaze swept over Sasori's face, and especially when his eyes fixed on that puppet, his expression became even more somber.
He had realized that this puppet was the Third Kazekage.
He really hadn't expected that the person who had stirred up the Third Great Ninja War was right beside him.
However, he was too lazy to bother with these matters right now, and he wasn't even interested in sharing this information with the people of Sunagakure.
Whether Sunagakure lived or died had nothing to do with him. What he needed to do was to deal with the trouble at hand.
After a brief exchange, Sasori immediately controlled the Third Kazekage to release more black sand.
And just then, their first line of defense was directly broken through by Kaito!
That giant azure figure emerged in front of them, while the immense chakra within Sasori surged rapidly.
In an instant, the black sand under his control soared into the air, transforming into several black, billowing giant hands that reached out to grab Kaito.
The black grains of sand continuously wrapped around, seemingly trying to trap Kaito.
"Ha!"
Seeing this, Kaito chuckled and slashed down with Susanoo's blade, and the black sand instantly collapsed.
It must be said that this black sand really was of very high quality, but no matter how high, it wasn't being used by the original host.
The Third Kazekage had long been thoroughly desiccated into a puppet. His abilities were retained to some extent but the sharpness was absolutely not as before.
If it had been the Third Kazekage himself, perhaps Kaito would not have had such an easy time.
But, being controlled by Sasori made it much less pressure for Kaito.
Sasori seemed to realize this too, as his chakra began to rise continuously.
Since he couldn't suppress Kaito with quality, he would try to suppress him with quantity!
Under his control, even more black sand continuously rose up.
However, no matter how much sand was raised, in the next moment, it was all sliced through by a single cut from Kaito!
At this time, Ōnoki also moved his hands rapidly through seals, coldly looking at Kaito as he pressed his hands swiftly to the ground.
"Earth Release: Tectonic Core!"
Accompanied by the surge of his chakra, the earth suddenly erupted with a burst of roaring.
Beneath Kaito's feet, a square section of the ground seemed to be controlled as it sank straight down.
Kaito immediately sensed something was amiss, but just as he planned to quickly evacuate the area, the others also made their move.
"Water Release: Exploding Water Colliding Wave!"
Kisame unceremoniously directed his Water Release towards the earthen pit, and after covering it with water, he immediately formed seals again.
"Water Release: Water Prison Technique!"
A huge water sphere instantly covered Kaito's Susanoo, and within the current, Kaito's movements were suddenly not so convenient.
"Trap him, don't let him break free easily!"
Ōnoki's eyes shone at the sight, and he shouted loudly.
At the same time, he was also accelerating the control of his chakra, making the area beneath Kaito sink even deeper.
"Summoning Jutsu: Giant Snakes!"
Orochimaru, whose injuries had already recovered, glanced at Kaito and then began to form seals without hesitation.
Several giant snakes were summoned forth, and these serpents swiftly coiled towards Kaito.
And at this moment, Sasori also intensified his control over the Third Kazekage. Although the Third Kazekage's power was somewhat uncomfortable against Water Release.
But his sand was magnetic sand, which could still be well manipulated even when encountering water.
Through their coordinated efforts, Kaito indeed felt a certain crisis looming.
It must be said that these guys were indeed troublesome, and their strength was also formidable.
Only, what puzzled Kaito was why this scene felt somewhat familiar.
But he was too lazy to think about that now, because if things continued this way, his situation would not be favorable.
"Although I anticipated this, being pushed to this extent by them is somewhat beyond my expectations."
Kaito's eyes moved swiftly, and his chakra was also crazily converging.
"But this is also good; I can try out my new power now. I really have never used it before."
As Kaito silently contemplated, Ōnoki brought his hands together in a seal, and then the ground began to tremble violently.
The deep pit he had created was directly filled up by Earth Release, but even after all this, his expression did not improve.
He stared intently at the area, maintaining his combat stance.
The others did the same, although after such a wave of attacks, someone else might have not been able to withstand it.
But the person they were facing was not ordinary; this was someone who had dispersed an entire army of ninjas by himself!
Meanwhile, buried underground, Kaito slightly closed his eyes, and his Susanoo began to experience intense turbulence.
Kaito did not intend to use the third stage of Susanoo any longer; at this point, he planned to use the fourth stage of Susanoo to respond!
After all, his current enemies might not be held off by the third stage of Susanoo.
Especially Ōnoki, the third stage Susanoo's mobility was practically a sitting duck in front of his Dust Release.
He needed higher mobility and stronger destructive power. Only in this way could he be safer and more confident in dealing with the current trouble.
The third stage of Susanoo and the fourth stage are completely different concepts!
Although it only adds the lower half of the body, in terms of size, it is many times larger than the third stage.
After all, the fourth stage could also be called the mature form of Susanoo.
Such a height is probably close to a hundred meters, and the caster is no longer standing within the trunk of Susanoo, but on top of Susanoo's head!
This also means that Kaito needs to change the order in which he constructs Susanoo; the chakra he releases needs to become more abundant.
In the original story, there is no scene of Uchiha Madara constructing the fourth stage Susanoo, but there is a scene of him completing the fifth stage Susanoo.
Kaito remembers it very clearly, when Ōnoki noticed Uchiha Madara's chakra, it was obviously the chaos of that chakra he sensed.
But when Uchiha Madara successfully constructed the fifth stage Susanoo, he also clearly felt 'that enormous chakra finally stabilizing'!
Why did this happen? It's because the chakra surge caused a collapse, and thus reassembling Susanoo made the chakra 'stabilize'.
