The cylinder of 'Dust Release' bombarded down from the air, falling straight onto 'Itachi Uchiha's 'Susanoo'.
Pop...
Accompanied by a soft sound like a bubble breaking, the 'Dust Release' cylinder dissipated.
"Missed?"
"How is it possible!?"
"This..."
Everyone's expression varied instantly upon seeing this.
Because Third Tsuchikage's 'Dust Release' didn't penetrate Itachi's 'Susanoo' as everyone expected, but dissipated directly in front of the shield held by 'Susanoo'.
If not for a piece of the left arm of Itachi's 'Susanoo' holding the shield being erased by 'Dust Release', everyone would even think Tsuchikage's 'Dust Release' missed.
"It's that shield!"
Onoki floating in the air reacted first, his gaze immediately focusing on the 'Yata Mirror' held by Itachi's 'Susanoo'.
Other four Kage also realized the extraordinary nature of 'Yata Mirror'.
Actually, after Kakashi's elite team was defeated by the fake 'Itachi Uchiha', Tsunade learned some intelligence about this fake 'Itachi Uchiha' from the battle report. She just didn't expect the opponent to be much stronger than she anticipated.
Because attracted by the complete form Ten-Tails, the fake 'Itachi Uchiha' didn't choose to entangle with the Five Kage, but urged 'Susanoo' to launch a wave of offensive against the Five Kage, forcing the Five Kage back, then passed through the crowd, speeding towards the direction of the Land of Demons.
Seeing 'Itachi Uchiha' leave, the Five Kage looked at each other in dismay.
Pakura asked: "Pursue?"
Tsunade frowned: "If we just let him go like this, I'm afraid in the future anyone would dare to attack our Five Great Ninja Villages."
Fourth Raikage nodded in agreement: "Correct!"
Third Tsuchikage slowly landed from the air, face ashen: "This Itachi Uchiha is somewhat wrong. We must arrest him and investigate clearly!"
Onoki was in a very bad mood at this time. His proud 'Dust Release' failed successively. Previously confronting Nagato possessing 'Eyes of the Sage', 'Dust Release' failing could be tolerated. Now dealing with a Mangekyo Uchiha, 'Dust Release' actually couldn't work either. This made him somewhat unable to accept. So he must regain his face.
This was not only for his own face, but also for 'Dust Release'. He must use action to maintain the prestige of their Iwagakure's 'Kekkei Tota'!
After reaching an agreement, the Five Kage didn't hesitate, immediately leading the elite ninja army to pursue in the direction 'Itachi Uchiha' fled.
Inside a canyon in the Land of Fire.
Swish!
Kabuto Yakushi descended from the sky, landing on a high cliff on one side of the canyon, shouting into the canyon: "Guren, how is the arrangement?"
"Eighty percent completed!"
Guren's voice immediately came from inside the canyon.
Undoubtedly, after receiving Shinji's order, Orochimaru began to prepare for exterminating the fake 'Itachi Uchiha'.
Considering 'Itachi Uchiha's tricky 'Susanoo', Orochimaru naturally hoped to use the advantage of terrain to limit the opponent's 'Susanoo'. So he summoned previous subordinates of Sound Village, handing them all over to Guren for command, arranging various traps inside the canyon.
With a few leaps, Guren jumped onto the cliff wall: "Where is Lord Orochimaru?"
Kabuto Yakushi said: "Lord Orochimaru is still monitoring the target, but should be coming soon. We must complete all arrangements here as soon as possible!"
"Understood!"
Guren responded, then turned to urge ninjas inside the canyon to speed up construction.
In the distance.
Rumble...
Bursts of continuous explosions came from the forest.
"You bastard, stop for me!"
Fourth Raikage roared loudly.
They chased all the way from Konoha Village, trying to capture 'Itachi Uchiha' alive. However 'Itachi Uchiha' avoided battle, only heading west all the way, making them quite helpless.
Not long after, 'Itachi Uchiha' arrived inside that canyon previously arranged by Guren and others.
'Itachi Uchiha' still had no distractions, as if pursuers behind had nothing to do with him, speeding towards the direction of the Land of Demons all the way.
Boom...
Suddenly, the rock walls on both sides of the canyon collapsed one after another. In just a blink of an eye, blocking 'Itachi Uchiha's path.
Immediately after, a large number of kunai tied with explosive tags shot towards 'Itachi Uchiha' blocked inside the canyon overwhelmingly from the rock walls on both sides of the canyon.
For a time explosion sounds were endless, as if the entire canyon was swallowed by flames.
At the same time, Orochimaru appeared on the cliff wall blocking in front of the Five Kage.
"Orochimaru?!"
The Five Kage stopped simultaneously.
Tsunade leaped out from the crowd, saying angrily: "So it's you bastard colluding with Itachi Uchiha!"
Orochimaru smiled: "Tsunade, your temper is still so impatient!"
Tsunade questioned: "Then why did you stop us?"
Orochimaru glanced at the canyon still exploding continuously, gradually restraining the smile at the corner of his mouth, saying seriously: "This guy is not something you can deal with. I propose our two sides join hands, work together to solve him!"
Fourth Raikage was furious: "What do you mean, looking down on us Five Kage?"
Onoki looked at the canyon, finding both sides of the canyon full of Orochimaru's subordinates. Among them were dangerous figures like Kabuto Yakushi, Guren, Jugo, Tayuya who were on the Five Great Ninja Villages' wanted list.
And judging from their behavior, obviously ambushing 'Itachi Uchiha'. So a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.
Tsunade also discovered Orochimaru's subordinates were attacking 'Itachi Uchiha', so asked directly: "Why?"
Although there was intelligence before showing 'Itachi Uchiha' chasing Orochimaru at the border of Land of Fire and Land of Hot Water, Tsunade still wanted to know what grudge existed between the two sides exactly.
"No comment!" Orochimaru shook his head, then said: "My proposal just now is not begging you, just our goals happen to coincide, existing room for cooperation!"
The Five Kage looked at each other.
Orochimaru himself was a Kage-level powerhouse, not weaker than any of them. Plus Kabuto Yakushi and a group of subordinates, as well as several previous Hokages controlled by Orochimaru using 'Edo Tensei'. Adding these forces together, no one dared to underestimate!
So after weighing, Tsunade said: "After capturing 'Itachi Uchiha' alive, must hand him over to us for disposal! If you can agree, we cooperate. If you don't agree, then we will sweep you away together!"
"Capture alive? Heh..." Smiling, Orochimaru nodded: "Of course, if you have the ability to capture him alive!"
On the snowfield.
After completing hand seals, Shinji pressed one hand on the top of the 'Ten-Tails' head, shouting: "Eight Trigrams Seal!"
Instantly, Shinji's palm seemed like a black hole, absorbing the Ten-Tails' huge body. In just a dozen seconds, the behemoth with body size over a thousand meters disappeared into Shinji's palm just like that.
The corner of Shinji's mouth raised: "Done!"
