at the same time.
On the main battlefield.
The deafening shouts of battle, the explosive bursts of ninjutsu, the clashing of metal—
The various voices mingled together, creating a bloody and cruel picture of war.
The ninjas of Kirigakure and Konoha clashed fiercely on a battlefront stretching for miles, like two opposing torrents.
Every inch of land was soaked in blood, and every moment a life was lost.
The most intense fighting took place in the center of the battlefield.
Yagura, wielding a coral hook staff, moved like a ghost as he engaged in a fierce battle with Jiraiya.
"Water Release·Water Formation Wall!"
"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet!!"
The water wall blocked the incoming fireball, and at the same time, a huge water dragon roared out from the ground, rising from below with an impact force strong enough to tear steel, about to devour Jiraiya!
"The Lion's Roar Technique!"
Jiraiya laughed heartily, his hair instantly growing longer, like a retractable ape arm, wrapping around a nearby tree, and leaping to dodge the Water Dragon Bullet.
But then Yagura suddenly charged forward, wielding his coral staff, and Jiraiya, completely unafraid, stood beside him.
Both were Kage-level powerhouses with rich combat experience, and for a time they fought to a standstill, neither able to gain the upper hand.
But as time went on, Jiraiya's brows furrowed slightly.
Not right.
Although he and Yagura were locked in a stalemate, the overall battle situation was—
It seems to be tilting in a direction that is detrimental to Konoha?
His gaze quickly swept across the other areas of the battlefield.
The Hidden Mist's offensive was more ferocious than expected, especially on the left flank!
On the left flank, a tall, imposing Kirigakure Jonin, carrying an exaggeratedly large decapitation sword, moved like a tiger among sheep, wielding his sword with the force of the wind, each strike carrying the power to split mountains and shatter rocks.
Meanwhile, there was another guy wielding two swords, accompanied by lightning and thunder.
With their combined efforts, the two shattered Konoha's defensive formation.
It's Pipa Juzo and Kurosu Raiga!
Both are among the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist. Juzo Biwa wields the Kubikiribōchō (Executioner's Blade), while Raiga Kurosuki wields the Raito Kiba (Lightning Blade).
Beside the two, several Kirigakure Jonin cooperated, forming a sharp assault arrow that continuously pierced through Konoha's defenses.
On the Konoha side, the team originally responsible for containing the elite ninja swordsmen, Juzo Biwa and Raiga Kurosuki, should have been led by Fugaku Uchiha, who possessed Sharingan skills.
At this moment, however, Fugaku Uchiha was nowhere to be seen, with only a few Uchiha Jonin and other Konoha ninja struggling to hold on.
However, lacking Fugaku as a core leader and commander, Konoha was clearly at a disadvantage against the experienced and powerful Seven Ninja Swordsmen like Juzo Biwa, and their defenses were in grave danger!
"What happened? Where did Fugaku go?!"
Jiraiya was anxious.
High-end combat power plays an extremely important role on the battlefield. If it weren't for Fugaku, Konoha's losses today would probably be far greater than before!
as predicted.
Within minutes, a Konoha Jonin covered in blood rushed to Jiraiya's vicinity and shouted hoarsely.
"Lord Jiraiya! The left flank is about to collapse. The Ninja Swordsmen's offensive is too fierce, and the Uchiha clan, lacking the command of their leader Fugaku, has already lost their formation!"
Jiraiya glanced at the left wing.
As expected, Juzo Biwa had already led the Kirigakure assault team to tear open a gap and was advancing deep into the Konoha defenses!
Once they break into our territory and attack from both sides, the entire left flank defense line could collapse!
"hateful!"
Jiraiya cursed inwardly, knowing he couldn't afford to get entangled with Yagura any longer.
He must immediately go to the left flank to stabilize the situation, otherwise the battle will completely spiral out of control!
"Gamabunta!"
Jiraiya formed hand seals and slammed his hands on the ground.
Bang!
A huge plume of white smoke erupted, and Gamabunta, the toad with a pipe in his mouth, reappeared.
"Jiraiya, who is your opponent this time?"
Wen Tai asked in a muffled voice.
"Bunta, stop Yagura for me! I need to get to the left wing!" Jiraiya said urgently.
"clear!"
Without a word, Gamabunta swung his short sword, creating a gust of wind, and slashed towards Yagura.
Yagura's eyes narrowed, and he held his coral hook staff horizontally.
"clang!!!"
The deafening clang of metal against metal made the eardrums of the surrounding ninjas ache.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Jiraiya broke away from the battle and sped towards the left flank of the battlefield with lightning speed.
"Trying to leave?"
Yagura snorted coldly and was about to give chase, but he was tightly entangled by Gamabunta's huge body and sharp sword aura.
This giant toad from Mount Myōboku has thick skin and incredible strength. When it wields its short sword, it is even more terrifying. Even Yagura would find it difficult to get rid of it for a while.
"A summoning beast? — Troublesome."
Yagura frowned slightly, feeling irritated.
He still prefers fighting Fugaku Uchiha. Although fighting Jiraiya is also enjoyable, he finds it extremely annoying that Jiraiya summons large summoning beasts all the time.
Fugaku was different; the Sharingan's genjutsu didn't affect him much, and the two were more engaged in direct combat.
The battle between Fire Release and Water Release was a clash of titans, a true showdown between water and fire!
But speaking of which, why didn't I see Fugaku Uchiha today?
Yagura was puzzled, but he didn't think much of it. With the war at this point, it was best if Fugaku didn't show up. Today, he would kill him without leaving a single survivor!
"Pass on the order!"
While dealing with Gamabunta, Yagura shouted at a nearby Kirigakure communications ninja.
"Order all troops to intensify the offensive! Especially the right flank and the center, push forward with all your might! Konoha can't hold on any longer!"
"yes!"
The order was conveyed swiftly.
The Hidden Mist's offensive instantly became even more ferocious, like a tsunami with wave after wave.
Danzo's face turned extremely ugly as he looked at the Susanoo in front of him.
He thought everything was under his control, that he had the upper hand in the game between the two sides, and that he had calculated everything inside and out.
But who could have imagined that this operation of replicating two kaleidoscopes would be so incredibly stupid!
No, we can win!
The First Hokage defeated Madara Uchiha, bringing decades of peace to Konoha. Now, as the Second Hokage's disciple, I will surely defeat Makoto Karatachi and pass on this glory!
"Don't let his tough exterior fool you, he's just bluffing!"
"My Byakugan has detected that his chakra is almost depleted. I'll continue the saturation attack. I'll see how long he can last!"
Despite Danzo's fierce shouts, ninjutsu and kunai flew together, but they could not budge Susanoo in the slightest.
Makoto's Susanoo, like a deep blue demon god, remained unmoved amidst the barrage of ninjutsu from the Leaf Village ninjas.
Whether it's a blazing fire jutsu, a sharp wind jutsu, or any other ninjutsu, when it hits Susanoo, it only stirs up ripples and bursts of fire, but cannot cause any real damage.
On the contrary, each swing of Susanoo's sword was like a divine punishment, leaving terrifying trenches tens of meters long in the ground, with rubble and soil flying into the sky. Konoha ninjas who could not dodge in time were either killed or injured.
"What...what kind of monster is this?!"
"Our ninjutsu is completely ineffective!"
"How can we fight if we can't even break through their defenses?!"
Panic spread like a plague among the Konoha ninja.
They were not afraid of death, but faced with such an incomprehensible and irresistible force, the sense of powerlessness and despair was enough to destroy even the strongest will.
However, Makoto Karatachi's situation is not as good as it seems on the surface; his lack of chakra remains his weakness.
Maintaining the third form of Susanoo consumes a tremendous amount of energy, and coupled with the energy spent fighting and breaking through traps along the way, his chakra is almost depleted.
The chakra in the Yin Seal was mostly used up in the previous battle, and the Root could not accumulate much in a short time.
If the fighting continues, things will indeed turn out as Danzo said.
but----
This is not just a war between Makoto and Danzo.
It is also a war between Kirigakure and Konoha!
"What's going on over there? Why is there such a loud commotion?"
Several miles away from the battlefield of Goujucheng, a squad of elite Mist Shadows was moving at high speed.
Although Makoto Karatachi had penetrated deep into enemy territory, the battle between Kirigakure and Konoha had created gaps in both sides' formations, and they were drawn there by the terrifying explosions and surging chakra light that followed.
At first, they thought it was some kind of large-scale ninjutsu or summoning beast from Konoha, but when they cautiously approached and saw the deep blue giant in the distance that looked like a demon god descending to earth, everyone was stunned.
"What—what is that thing?!"
"Chakra materialization?! Are you kidding me?! How is that possible?!"
"It's Lord Makoto Karatachi! Holy crap, the captain's inside that monster!"
"The materialization of chakra to this extent has already surpassed the scope of ordinary bloodline limits!"
The Hidden Mist ninjas were dumbfounded.
They knew that Makoto Karatachi was very strong, a new generation genius of Kirigakure, who had copied bloodline limits, killed the Hokage's son, and repeatedly performed great feats.
But they never imagined that Gojiki Makoto would be this strong!
This power is no less than that of a Kage-level expert, and may even surpass it!
"Hurry and rush to Lord Cheng's aid!"
"etc!"
The squad leader made a decisive decision, but before they could rush forward, the lead captain's gaze suddenly sharpened.
"Konoha's reinforcements have arrived! It's the Uchiha!"
On the edge of the battlefield, on the other side.
Several figures rushed out of the dense forest like a gust of wind and stopped at the outer edge of the battlefield.
The leader was none other than Uchiha Kindai!
This elder of the Uchiha clan, currently the most senior and powerful, was staring wide-eyed at the enormous Susanoo in disbelief.
"Impossible, how could this be?"
"Those eyes, there's no mistake, they're definitely those eyes!"
"The eyes of Madara-sama in the past, the Mangekyou Sharingan!"
The Uchiha who came upon hearing the commotion were in an uproar, filled with shock, disbelief, and disbelief.
The Mangekyou Sharingan, the true embodiment of the Uchiha clan's glory in the past, has now reappeared in the world.
"Which Uchiha is that guy?!"
Uchiha Kindai was greatly shocked. If the Uchiha had an extra pair of Mangekyou Sharingan, then even if Fugaku were gone, it wouldn't be a big problem.
But soon, he realized something was wrong.
What's going on? The future pillar of the Uchiha clan is being ganged up on! Holy crap, Danzo?!
"Damn Danzo! I knew he was a wolf in sheep's clothing, daring to lay a hand on my clan's prodigy!"
"Elder Kindai, no, it's not the Uchiha!" A Jonin from the Uchiha clan who had seen Makoto's profile and portrait looked at the scene and his expression changed drastically. He quickly pulled back Kindai, who was about to rush forward.
"What do you mean 'not Uchiha'? That old bastard Danzo actually dared to take advantage of the war to attack our clan's prodigy—"
"That guy is Elder Jin Dai, Makoto Kuraki!"
"Uchiha Makoto?"
"It's Makoto Goji Berry!"
"Gynura bicolor —"
Uchiha Kindai's vision went black, and he clutched his heart, almost unable to catch his breath.
Inahikasa quickly and gently patted Ryoji's back with his fist to help him catch his breath, saying repeatedly, "Elder Kindai, don't worry. I've read Makoto's information. His bloodline is a copy of someone else's. The fact that he can use the Kaleidoscope means that the Kaleidoscope does indeed exist in this world!"
"yes!"
Jin Dai tensed up and jumped up abruptly: "That's right, the kaleidoscope exists! If it's a replica, then the original must exist! Quick, let's go! Stop that Gouju Cheng! I need to get to the bottom of this!"
Uchiha Kindai took the lead, his agile figure belying that of an elderly Uchiha.
"BOOM!!"
The deep blue Susanoo sword slashed down again, and with a deafening roar, another wave of Konoha ninja resistance was crushed.
Stone fragments and severed limbs flew everywhere, and blood mixed with mud splashed all over the place, adding a cruel crimson touch to this hellish scene.
Makoto Karatachi, inside his Susanoo, was breathing rapidly, his chakra depleting like water bursting its banks. The Yin Seal had been activated, but his already limited reserves were rapidly dwindling under the sustained high-intensity combat, and the ten-minute usage time of his Mangekyou Sharingan was also about to expire.
But the smile on Makoto Goji's face grew increasingly wild, even carrying a hint of almost manic excitement.
"What's wrong, Danzo! Is this all you've got?!"
Makoto Karatachi's voice, penetrating the Susanoo's chakra barrier, resounded across the battlefield like muffled thunder, filled with provocation and mockery.
"So-called Dark Side of the Ninja, so-called Root of Konoha, can they only scurry around like rats and use their comrades' lives to fill the hole when faced with someone like me, a mere Hidden Mist Villager?!"
Danzo's face was ashen, and his single eye seemed to be spitting fire.
Several more Root ninjas fell beside him. The deep blue giant was like an insurmountable chasm, each swing of his sword carrying destructive power.
What alarmed him even more was Makoto Karatachi's fighting style —
This guy is definitely not a simple copyist; his mastery of the power of those eyes is terrifying!
"Stop being so arrogant!"
Danzo shouted angrily, slamming his cane heavily on the ground: "Your power is nothing but a mirage, a stolen counterfeit."
"I'll see how long you can hold out! Everyone, don't stop, keep attacking! Wear him down!"
The Konoha ninjas gritted their teeth and persevered, as a new wave of ninjutsu rained down on Susanoo once again.
Although most of the attacks were still like ants trying to shake a tree, the chakra fluctuations on the deep blue giant's surface did begin to show a slight, imperceptible instability and flickering.
Gouju Cheng naturally sensed it as well.
However, he glanced at the Hidden Mist team that was trying to break through Konoha's blockade and approach this side, and then looked at the group of Uchiha ninjas with bloodshot eyes and a fierce aura rushing in from another direction, especially the old man in the lead whose beard was sticking up in anger.
As if he had thought of something, a strange smile appeared on Makoto Gojibana's lips.
He controlled Susanoo and suddenly swung his sword, cleaving away several Konoha ninjas who were trying to form hand seals to release a combination ninjutsu, along with the rocks beneath their feet, clearing a temporary empty area.
Then, he took a deep breath and amplified his voice to its limit with chakra, making it resound throughout the chaotic battlefield like a divine pronouncement.
"Those scum from Konoha! And those Uchiha red-eyed bastards rushing over there!"
"You must be very curious about where these eyes of mine came from, right? The Mangekyou Sharingan, the eyes that only the Asura of the Shinobi World, Uchiha Madara, possessed. Why do I have them now, don't you think!"
Makoto Goji's voice was like a thunderclap, instantly drowning out all the noise on the battlefield.
Whether it was Danzo who was launching a fierce attack, the Kirigakure squad that was preparing to come to their aid, or Uchiha Kindai and the others who had just arrived nearby, they all suddenly froze, their eyes fixed on the deep blue Susanoo and the wild figure inside it.
The origin of the Mangekyou Sharingan?!
This question directly touched upon their deepest doubts, especially those of Uchiha Kindai and others.
Where did Makoto Karatachi get this power from? And where is that Uchiha who possesses the Mangekyou Sharingan?
But to their surprise, Gouju Cheng actually brought it up on his own initiative.
Danzo, standing to the side, kept his eyes fixed on Makoto Karatachi. He didn't know what Makoto was up to, but time was on his side. Every second he delayed meant that the duration of Makoto's God Hand would decrease by one second, so Danzo wasn't in a hurry.
But for some reason, Makoto Koji gave him a strange look and revealed a wicked smile.
Danzo's heart skipped a beat, and an extremely ominous premonition suddenly arose.
"Since you're so curious, I'll tell you."
"The object of my Mangekyou Sharingan replication is—"
"It is none other than Fugaku Uchiha, the current head of your Konoha Uchiha clan!"
boom!!!
Like a boulder thrown into a boiling pot of oil!
The entire battlefield exploded instantly!
"What?!"
"Clan Chief Fugaku, how is this possible?!"
"What is this guy talking about? How could the Fugaku clan chief possibly possess the Mangekyou Sharingan?!"
The Konoha ninja, the Hidden Mist ninja, the Uchiha clan members—everyone present was stunned by this answer.
Even Danzo was completely taken aback.
Uchiha Tomohisa...—possesses the Mangekyou Sharingan?
The Uchiha clan leader, who has always been known for his seriousness and composure, has actually awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan?!
The Uchiha clan members were overjoyed at first, but they soon realized something was wrong.
Even Fugaku Nima's reverse psychic abilities can't be activated anymore, so what's there to be happy about?
"What did you say? Fugaku's Kaleidoscope? Fugaku—he activated the Kaleidoscope?!"
Upon hearing this, Uchiha Kindai was visibly shaken. His old eyes widened, his mustache bristled, and he stared intently at Makoto Karatachi, his voice hoarse: "Impossible! And if Fugaku has awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, where is he? Where is he now?!"
"people?"
Gouju Cheng revealed a cold smile.
"Then he's dead, of course."
