Above the Five Kage Summit Building.
The sky was still filled with heavy snow, and the area below was in ruins.
"What on earth happened?"
Obito, who had just arrived, was shocked when he saw the endless wooden stakes.
There was no mistake, this was Wood Release, and it was not an ordinary Wood Release.
The power was far beyond the capabilities of half-baked Wood Release masters like him and Yamato.
"It's Fujiwara Kirito. I don't know where he learned Wood Release, but just like the First Hokage, he forced the Five Kage into a desperate situation in an instant."
A green pitcher plant emerged from beside Obito, and then opened, revealing the figure of White Zetsu.
"So what's the situation now?" Obito asked in a deep voice.
"I don't know. After his Wood Release was blocked by the Third Tsuchikage's all-out Dust Release, Kirito unleashed a much wider-range Dust Release, instantly enveloping the ninjas and spirits of the Five Great Nations. I didn't dare get too close. Even I'd be dead if hit by a move as dangerous as Dust Release."
At this, White Zetsu seemed to have a thought and said meaningfully, "Looks like Kakashi is in there too."
"Boring." Obito glanced at White Zetsu and, with a flash of his body, sped towards the center of the ruins.
"We're saved."
The Dust Release barrier vanished, and the ninjas, surrounded by danger, breathed a collective sigh of relief. The samurai collapsed to the ground
in fear, gulping down the fresh air and savoring the beauty of being alive.
The ninjas of the Five Great Nations leaped to the tree trunk where the Hokage was standing. Kakashi hesitantly asked, "Hokage-sama, just now..."
He wanted to ask how Tsunade had managed to hide from Kirito's perception; this might be the key to defeating him.
The others cast curious glances.
Fujiwara Kirito's extraordinary perception was no secret. Everyone was curious as to how Tsunade had managed to sneak up behind Kirito without being detected.
Chinatsu used her Chidori to pierce the Wood Release barrier protecting them and appeared beside Tsunade with Shiro, saying, "It's simple. It's this special perception that creates a brief delay during the casting of a ninjutsu."
"Once a ninjutsu lasts for more than a minute, there's a five-second vacuum during which perception is lost."
Five seconds?
Everyone looked at each other, their expressions growing increasingly grim. How many people in the world could sustain a ninjutsu for more than a minute?
If it weren't for Kirito's special circumstances, a single Dust Release move would have instantly reduced everyone to ashes.
Just as everyone was struggling, applause suddenly erupted from a nearby tree stump.
"You're truly a good disciple. You've discovered the weakness in this jutsu and you haven't embarrassed me."
Fujiwara Kirito appeared before them, his back to the sun.
Kirito's Akatsuki robes had completely ripped apart, revealing his tight black combat uniform and the Zanpakutō strapped to his waist.
Everyone in the arena was horrified, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
Tsunade's incredible power punches were renowned throughout the ninja world, but Kirito, aside from a torn garment, remained unscathed.
"Of course. After all, my talent surpasses yours. If I'm given enough time to grow, sooner or later, I'll surpass you." Chinatsu winked playfully at Kirito.
The father and daughter understood each other and began to act out their performances.
"Then I'm looking forward to your day." Kirito's smile faded, and he turned his gaze to the side.
"You really made quite a commotion, Kirito." Space twisted, and Obito, arms folded, leaped out of the Kamui space and landed beside Kirito.
"I guess so. Although the current Five Kage aren't that great, there are still some outstanding ninjas in the Five Great Nations. It's not a wasted trip." Kirito stood aside and watched Obito show off.
"Is that so?" Obito nodded, turning his gaze to the beleaguered people of the Five Great Nations and the Land of Iron below, and began to introduce himself, "My name is Uchiha Madara. I have something to tell you. After you understand, I have something to ask you."
"What?" The Raikage, supported by Darui, was seriously injured, but his strength remained undiminished. He glanced at Kirito excitedly and glared at Obito.
"My goal, the Moon Eye Project." Obito opened his right eye, revealing a crimson Sharingan. He chuckled, "You've managed to survive Kirito's clutches. You truly deserve to be the Raikage."
"Asshole," the Raikage raged. Despite his severe injuries, he forcibly activated his Lightning Release Chakra mode. He instantly reached Obito and slammed his head down.
Boom!
Kirito easily caught the Raikage's punch. He clamped his hand around the Raikage's armored wrist, exerting a slight force. The armor instantly shattered, revealing a thick, dark wrist.
"Damn it!" the Raikage's voice trembled. His elbow burned, unable to advance even a fraction.
"Listen to him first. Later, however you wish to fight, I'm ready to fight you. But you must be prepared to let the Fifth Raikage take over. Three times is the limit. I won't let you off for the third time, even if you kneel before me again."
With that, Kirito tossed the Raikage back like trash. Darui and C leaped to catch it, plowing through the ground. Finally, Kakashi stepped forward to catch it, pressing his palms on their backs to stop them.
"Thank you," Darui and C turned to thank Kakashi. Kakashi nodded and returned to Tsunade's side.
The Tsuchikage advised, "Raikage, for now, it wouldn't hurt to listen to what the masked man calling himself Uchiha Madara has to say."
Seeing Kirito's move, Obito glanced at him with some surprise and continued, "Raikage, don't be angry. Kirito is a rare talent in the ninja world. After Hashirama, he's the second person to earn my recognition and the right to speak with me. Losing to him is not shameful."
"Let's cut the crap and get straight to the point," the Tsuchikage said impatiently.
"Are you finally willing to listen?" Obito sat down cross-legged and laid out his plan for the 'Infinite Tsukuyomi,' revealing that the Eight-Tails was at large and demanding they hand over the Eight-Tails and the Nine-Tails.
"That's it, use the Great Illusion to create a unified world without barriers and wars."
This move was undoubtedly resisted by everyone.
The Raikage was the first to refuse, saying that he would not hand over his brother.
Then came Gaara and Mei Terumi, who did not recognize the false peace.
Tsunade did the same, and she refused without hesitation, saying that she would never hand over Naruto.
At the same time, her eyes were fixed on Kirito. She had to find out why this guy was hanging out with a dangerous person like Madara.
Finally, it was the Tsuchikage.
"Unifying the world, it's better to say that it's creating a world that belongs only to you rather than unifying the world." The Tsuchikage questioned: "Madara, since you decided to launch the Moon Eye Plan, why do you want to use Akatsuki? With your strength, you don't need any plan, you can do it easily."
