Chapter 248: Chapter 248

"What on earth is going on?"

Within the mountains, countless ninjas from Iwagakure struggled to emerge from the ruins. At this moment, they appeared incredibly disheveled.

Looking around, everything here resembled a hell on earth, a sight that inspired fear.

The ground was littered with remnants of walls and numerous massive rocks were scattered haphazardly on the surface.

Various large trees had already collapsed, with some even broken into several pieces and strewn everywhere.

Beneath these rocks and broken timbers lay countless bodies of the Iwa ninjas!

Blood had already stained the earth, and cries of pain continuously spread throughout the area.

Even though these Iwa ninjas were well-trained and had quickly begun various rescue operations, they felt deep despair in the face of such an unexpected disaster.

When they discovered once-lively teammates buried motionless under the rubble or when they rescued someone only to find half of their body crushed, their spirits were severely tested. Even more heart-wrenching was when they had to amputate limbs to save someone, meeting the victim's despair-filled eyes. Those who had to be amputated essentially faced a career-ending verdict for a ninja.

The smell of blood permeated the area, with cries and screams intermingling, further deepening the already low morale of the Iwa ninjas.

Many muttered to themselves, genuinely clueless about what had transpired.

All they knew was that the mountains had suddenly trembled and collapsed, as if divine retribution was upon them. After all, they had never witnessed such a scene before.

"What on earth is happening?"

It wasn't just the ordinary Iwa ninjas who were filled with confusion and despair. Even their commander appeared utterly distressed at the moment.

He was fortunate and also quite skilled. Hence, he managed to preserve his life when the rocks fell, so he was relatively unharmed.

However, the problem was that the unit he led was essentially decimated, and he feared the unimaginable punishment that might await him.

He had no idea about the extent of the losses, how many were injured, or how many could no longer continue as ninjas.

However, he was bound to take responsibility for this situation since he was the one who had led these people here!

"Boom!"

Before he had time to think further, the ground once again began to sway, and this swaying quickly escalated into violent shaking.

An overwhelmingly potent chakra spread out once again, its aura of destruction immediately perceived by everyone present.

"We must find out what's happening. We need to figure out who is attacking us; otherwise, I won't be at peace even if I die!"

With that thought, the commander of the Iwa ninjas immediately dashed towards the area where the chakra was erupting.

Seeing this, some Iwa ninjas, with anger evident on their faces, stood up and followed the commander.

However, many more Iwa ninjas, looking numb, continued rescuing their comrades, their hearts devoid of any desire to fight.

The Iwa ninja commander made no comments on this. He simply kept accelerating, enduring the chakra's onslaught as he pressed forward.

When he and several of his subordinates arrived at a mountain peak, which seemed to have been cleanly sliced like a flat surface, they were completely stunned.

"Such a chakra fluctuation... Could it be...?"

Among other mountain ranges, Sasori narrowed his eyes, looking towards the distant peak. He was quite far from the site.

Because he genuinely detested Orochimaru, and given the mountain range's length, he had intentionally positioned himself as far away from Orochimaru and his supply routes as possible.

Consequently, his current view wasn't particularly clear. He could only hear the intense rumbling and the strong chakra fluctuations, unclear about other specifics.

However, this chakra fluctuation told him that this matter was undoubtedly no trivial affair. The power wasn't something an average person could unleash!

This magnitude of power immediately made him think of someone whom no one wished to encounter alone — Uchiha Kaito.

Orochimaru was right; he had long suspected that the matter with the Eight-Tails and the Fourth Raikage might have been Kaito's doing.

It's not that only Kaito could accomplish this, but in his memory, it seemed that only when this individual fought would there be such a significant disturbance, overpowering both opponents in a head-on manner.

Regardless, he had to check it out now. After all, it was his mission. While the mission was essential, he also needed to ensure an escape route for himself.

With this, he quickly activated his ring to connect his chakra with Pain. After finishing this, he swiftly began to move.

However, just as he climbed over a mountain range and gazed into the distance, he was nearly rooted to the spot in shock.

Because he saw that the towering mountain peak in the distance had been completely flattened...

...

"Such power, is this the power of the Uchiha?"

Kisame looked at the black flames covering the distant mountains and the suffocating chakra, and he couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

Although Kisame had also distanced himself from Orochimaru to search in the far end, relatively speaking, he was still somewhat closer.

Because of his proximity, he had a clear view of Kaito's signature black and white intertwined flames wildly spreading across a mountain.

This immediately made him realize that Uchiha Kaito was definitely here, and the direction of that location was where Orochimaru was searching. It's highly possible that Kaito had already engaged in battle with Orochimaru!

Actually, Kisame didn't like Orochimaru either. However, after pondering for a moment, he decided to go and help, even if Orochimaru hadn't sent out a distress signal.

After all, he was well aware that if something serious happened to Orochimaru, it would be challenging for just him and Sasori to cause any trouble for Kaito.

It's even uncertain if they could hold on until the leader, Pain, arrives.

So, going over to see if he could assist Orochimaru and ensure he could hold out as long as possible would be enough.

Perhaps with this mentality, Kisame's speed wasn't fast at all. Based on his understanding of Orochimaru, that guy was probably still using Edo Tensei in the battle.

"Huh?"

However, at that moment, Kisame suddenly felt an indescribable force abruptly erupt. Following that, he witnessed a scene he would never forget.

A loud noise assailed his ears, causing Kisame to feel a slight ringing in them. Near him, a mountain peak was instantly slashed by a mysterious force.

The next second, amidst the ringing in Kisame's ears, the mountain was neatly sliced in half...

...

"Boom!"

Accompanied by a massive roaring sound, the chakra-infused blades of Kaito and Uchiha Madara fiercely collided.

The surrounding area where they stood had now turned into a complete wasteland. The term "scarred" was no longer sufficient to describe the land; it was utterly shattered.

The places where they had battled were all broken, the valley they created from their clashes was expanding in size and depth.

Countless fragments of rock fell, only to be ground into dust by their terrifying chakra.

Then, with every move they made, gusts of wind arose, scattering the dust into the air.

Kaito was still in good condition at this point. After all, this kind of battle was not something he hadn't experienced before.

Moreover, under the training of the Senju brothers and the Fourth Raikage brothers, Kaito's ability for sustained combat had greatly improved.

Especially when it came to Susanoo, his understanding and insight into it had advanced another step.

Even without activating his ultimate technique, he still managed to exchange blows with Uchiha Madara.

Of course, Kaito could also feel that Madara was holding back somewhat. Otherwise, the extent of their battle might not have reached this level.

At the moment, they seemed to be fighting desperately while also continuously probing for each other's weaknesses.

And the moment that weakness appeared, it would be the instant for them to unleash their full power.

However, so far, neither had shown any vulnerabilities, or it could be said that Kaito had remained very steady, giving Uchiha Madara no opportunity.

But Kaito was well aware that he seemed to have been played by Madara's pacing again.

"Shameless bastard!"

Kaito silently cursed in his heart. Although Madara was clashing with him and slowly looking for opportunities,

The damn thing was that Madara's chakra was infinite, while Kaito, no matter how much chakra he had, couldn't possibly compare to him.

How could a regular person compete in chakra with a reanimated individual using Edo Tensei? Was it because he felt his life was too comfortable and was seeking a thrill?
