Chapter 406: Aerial Battle with the Second Mizukage

Zizizi

Zizizi...

The incessantly flickering lightning converged into an immensely colossal pillar of light.

Descending directly from the heavens above.

It struck with pinpoint accuracy onto the Second Mizukage and his group below.

Amidst the flashes of lightning, the Second Mizukage and the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, who had been radiating an overwhelming aura just a second ago, causing immense pressure on the entire Allied Shinobi Forces,

vanished in the blink of an eye amidst the roaring thunder.

The blinding light illuminated the entire battlefield.

Kakashi and the others were left utterly dumbfounded, their jaws practically on the ground.

"What... what... what... is this???"

The two Jonin, Ao and Ōnoki, were also drenched in cold sweat.

Why did lightning suddenly strike, and such terrifying lightning at that, landing precisely on their heads?

This was just too bizarre!

As the light dissipated, a massive crater appeared before their eyes.

Kakuzu stared blankly at the crater, recalling what had just happened.

He turned to Kimimaro and asked, "What did you do?"

When questioned, Kimimaro simply smiled faintly and said, "I didn't do anything."

Did nothing?

Then what was that lightning strike just now?

Even if it were a sudden thunderstorm, it couldn't have produced such a strike!

And it just happened to hit the reincarnated Second Mizukage and the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist?

Taking them out before they could even make a move?

That was absolutely impossible.

At this moment, the Second Mizukage, who had slowly recovered from his ash state and reformed his body, was seething with anger.

"What the hell was that just now?

Who... who dared attack me?

Come out and face me!"

The dignified Second Mizukage, suddenly killed in one move if it had been a fair fight, he might have accepted it.

But a sudden attack from the sky? Who could have anticipated that?

"Come out and face me...

You bastard... show yourself!"

Like a raging beast, the Second Mizukage glared at the Allied Shinobi Forces, roaring madly.

In his view, the attack had to have been the work of these people.

However, Kakashi and the others exchanged bewildered glances. Although they had a force of fifty thousand shinobi,

there was no way anyone among them could have unleashed an attack of that caliber.

They knew the capabilities of their vanguard troops all too well.

The one who had attacked must have been someone else!

And that someone was likely... Uchiha Sasuke!

Kakashi glanced at Ao.

Ao shook his head!

Seeing this, Kakashi grew even more alarmed.

Within the range of the Byakugan, there was no trace of Sasuke at all.

And the Byakugan's range extended up to one kilometer.

Yet, Sasuke wasn't within a kilometer?

Did that mean Sasuke had launched his attack from over a kilometer away?

At such a distance... how could he have controlled the attack so precisely?

To strike the enemy with such accuracy... that was simply impossible!

And what kind of technique could span such a distance to attack the enemy?

This was... astonishing!

Now!

It wasn't just Kakashi and the others who were shocked.

Even Sasuke himself was surprised.

Originally, this attack was meant for Sasori.

But upon seeing the Second Mizukage, Sasuke had a sudden thought why not try targeting the Mizukage?

Unexpectedly, the attack had been successfully controlled.

Now, a thousand kilometers away from the battlefield,

Sasuke was able to control the attack from such an extreme distance.

And with such fluidity.

This gave Sasuke a new idea.

The pool of lightning still lingered around Sasuke.

Looking up at the sky, the thunderclouds gathered by the previous lightning strike had not yet dispersed. Releasing another attack now would be... even easier.

Let's give it a try!

A smile spread across Sasuke's face.

In an instant, he raised his hand and unleashed another bolt of lightning.

However, this bolt was much weaker than the previous one.

But the lightning quickly disappeared into the clouds, passing through layers of heavy pressure.

Then, it shot straight toward the distant battlefield.

On the battlefield, the Second Mizukage, who had been roaring in anger, cursed a few times, but no one stepped forward. If he could control his body,

he would have loved to force the attacker out himself.

But just as he was thinking this,

the roar of thunder sounded once more.

Suddenly, the Second Mizukage looked up at the sky.

Pipa!

A black bolt of lightning descended directly toward his forehead.

In that moment, the Second Mizukage's eyes widened in shock.

Black... black lightning release?

Boom!

The lightning struck the ground, creating only a small crater this time.

Dodging the attack, the Second Mizukage frowned.

He couldn't understand there had been no chakra fluctuations from the Allied Shinobi Forces' direction.

Yet, this bolt of lightning had suddenly fallen from the sky.

It seemed the attacker wasn't among the Allied Shinobi Forces.

But... the question was... where was the attacker?

To attack him in such an unbelievable manner...

Shaking his head with a hint of disappointment, Sasuke, who was maintaining the Mind Transmission Technique while launching attacks, muttered,

"Missed again. Your reflexes have improved, huh?

Well then, let's see how fast you really are!"

With that, Sasuke hurled another bolt of lightning.

A series of black lightning bolts swiftly shot through the thunderclouds.

Sasuke's hand crackled with gathering lightning. "Let's try... a bigger one..."

Pipeng!!

As one bolt of lightning was dodged by the Second Mizukage,

the next second, the Second Mizukage laughed.

"Interesting! I don't know who you are or where you are, but fighting me like this...

is something I've never encountered before! Bring it on! Let's see what you've got..."

Pipeng!

Suddenly, multiple bolts of lightning struck simultaneously, and the Second Mizukage's expression changed drastically. These bolts had sealed off his escape routes!

"Water Release: Water Wall!"

The lightning struck the water barrier, blocked by the flowing water.

The next second, the Mizukage leaped away.

"That was close! Almost got hit again."

Pipeng!

Though one strike missed, the subsequent bolts of lightning showed no intention of giving the Second Mizukage any breathing room.

At this moment, everyone around was utterly baffled.

What was this?

Black lightning continuously raining down from the sky, striking at the Second Mizukage.

The Second Mizukage kept dodging, engaging in a long-distance battle with an unseen enemy?

And that black lightning... wasn't that Uchiha Sasuke's Lightning Release?

While black lightning wasn't exclusive to Sasuke,

the first person anyone would think of when it came to black lightning was...

"Uchiha Sasuke? Is this Uchiha Sasuke's attack?

Where is he?

He's actually fighting the Second Mizukage like this?"

Ao: "The Byakugan... hasn't detected Uchiha Sasuke's presence!"

The Allied Shinobi Forces were stunned.

The Byakugan didn't detect him?

Did that mean Sasuke was likely over a kilometer away, engaging in a long-distance battle with the Second Mizukage?

"Lord Sasuke... should have just left the Hidden Sound Village. The distance from the Hidden Sound Village to here is at least a thousand kilometers..."

Kimimaro said calmly at this moment.

A thousand kilometers???

This...

This!

A battle across a thousand kilometers???
