Chapter 426: The Raikage's Assault

Looking at the ninja forces of five hundred on each side,

Sasuke furrowed his brows. Their movements were uniform, which meant...

The ninjutsu they were about to release wouldn't be one by one, but... as a whole.

"Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet!" ×500!

The synchronized voices rang out, and Sasuke was momentarily stunned.

How did they manage this?

Five hundred ninjas even if they were carefully selected elites couldn't all be fire-nature users, right?

Even if all five hundred were proficient in Fire Release, that would mean they could only master one other nature transformation at most.

In other words, they could only simultaneously release two different types of ninjutsu.

On the other side, the same synchronized voices echoed.

If Sasuke were to arrange the two five-hundred-man teams,

the best scenario would be for each team to specialize in different nature transformations!

This way, each side could master two different natures, allowing them to release four different types of ninjutsu combined.

This would make them more adaptable to unexpected situations.

But!

Having all five hundred use Fire Release like this...

This meant that the thousand ninjas could only release two different types of ninjutsu at most!

While the power would be greatly enhanced, they would lose their ability to adapt.

The Five Kage were well aware that Sasuke, as a ninja proficient in all five nature transformations,

could easily counter with the opposing nature if only two were used.

It seemed the Raikage didn't consider this thousand-man unit as his trump card.

But if he didn't value them, why go through the trouble of selecting such an elite force?

Wouldn't it be better to just gather a thousand strong combatants?

As Sasuke pondered this, he found it strange.

But soon, he noticed something unusual.

Both sides were using the same ninjutsu simultaneously.

Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet.

The combined chakra instantly formed a massive fire dragon's head.

It opened its mouth and shot out three incredibly fast and powerful fireballs.

The combined power of five hundred ninjas releasing a Fire Release ninjutsu was undeniably terrifying.

But the problem was, Sasuke's Sharingan and Rinnegan noticed something.

The flow of chakra was different from ordinary ninjutsu releases.

These guys...

Not all of them were proficient in Fire Release.

Instead, only a hundred of them were, while the remaining four hundred were simply outputting chakra.

Using a special method, the hundred Fire Release experts were responsible for releasing the chakra through the Fire Dragon Flame Bullet technique.

'So that's it!'

'No wonder they were divided into two units, one on each side. This way, each hundred specializes in one nature transformation!'

'Both sides can use this special method to combine everyone's power and release a single ninjutsu!'

It seemed this ninja force was indeed specially prepared for him!

Sasuke smiled.

At this critical moment, everyone was intently watching Sasuke.

The ninjas of the Allied Shinobi Forces gazed at the ninjutsu released by the concentrated power of five hundred.

The sheer power was undeniably terrifying.

Each of these ninjas was an elite jonin-level shinobi.

Releasing the same ninjutsu together,

combining all their chakra,

the power of the technique was unimaginable.

Yet, as the six fireballs rapidly closed in from both sides,

Sasuke seemed unhurried, not even beginning to form hand seals.

Suddenly, he looked up, locking eyes with the Fourth Raikage.

With a single hand seal, Sasuke muttered,

'Water Release: Water Formation Wall!'

Boom!

Suddenly, water surged from the ground on both sides, forming a pair of watery wings.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

One after another, the fireballs collided with the water, instantly generating a massive cloud of steam that spread in all directions.

The Raikage and the other Kage didn't rush to attack. Instead, he waved his hand, signaling the ninja forces to launch another assault.

He kept his eyes fixed on Sasuke.

With Sasuke's pride, he wouldn't retreat.

If Sasuke chose to take the first ninjutsu head-on, he would do the same with the second.

Thinking this, a glint of bloodlust flashed in the Raikage's eyes.

The next second,

the hand seals of the ninja forces on both sides changed.

Though Sasuke only glanced at them, he knew what ninjutsu they were preparing from the first seal.

'Earth Release, huh?'

'This is... Earth Release: Mountain Earth Technique!'

This Earth Release was powerful. With enough chakra, even the Ten-Tails could be suppressed.

Sasuke's eyes narrowed slightly.

With the combined chakra of a thousand ninjas, suppressing the Ten-Tails might be impossible, but a few seconds of suppression was feasible.

Using it against him... would also be effective.

But!

Sasuke's chakra far surpassed theirs.

"Earth Release: Mountain Earth Technique!" ×1000.

Instantly, two semicircular rock formations rose from the ground, crushing toward Sasuke from both sides.

Not only were they massive, but the pressure they exerted was also terrifying.

The Fourth Raikage sneered.

'Get crushed, you bastard!'

But the next second, a pair of massive arms shot up, holding the rocks at bay.

Purple energy erupted.

Susanoo!

The reappearance of Susanoo, with one hand supporting the enormous rock wall, resisted the immense pressure.

In an instant, the two mountains were halted.

The Raikage frowned. It wasn't going to be easy, as expected. Though it was slightly different from what he had anticipated,

it still proved effective.

"Third Tsuchikage!"

The Raikage called out.

By now, the Third Tsuchikage had already flown into the sky.

"Ready!"

A low-frequency hum echoed as a white light shone down from above.

It was obvious.

This was Particle Style!

The chakra gathered in the Third Tsuchikage's hands was emitting a blinding light.

The next second, the white light shot straight toward Sasuke.

'Particle Style: Atomic Dismantling Jutsu!'

Boom!

The Particle Style attack, moving at the speed of light, aimed directly at Sasuke's forehead.

Sasuke looked up, his eyes narrowing slightly. Without forming any hand seals, black lightning surged like a dragon,

rising into the air and colliding with the Particle Style.

The explosion echoed through the sky.

In that instant, Sasuke's attention shifted from the sky to directly in front of him.

Sand formed a massive trumpet shape, extending to within ten meters of Sasuke.

The next second, Sasuke's expression changed slightly.

On the other end, Mei Terumi had completed her hand seals.

"Boil Release: Skilling Mist Technique!"

At the same time, Gaara's sand swirled, turning the normally slow-moving acid mist into a storm-like surge.

'Turbocharged??'

Sasuke was momentarily stunned. The four Kage had actually thought of using turbocharging!

The acid mist swept in instantly, crashing against Sasuke's Susanoo.

The terrifying corrosive properties began melting the Susanoo's body...

Such coordination!

Indeed... impressive!

A glint flashed in Sasuke's eyes.

The next second whoosh!

A sharp whistling sound rang in Sasuke's ears.

Right in front of him!

Lightning condensed, transforming into the Fourth Raikage.

He swung his fist, aiming to strike Sasuke directly...

In that moment, Sasuke was stunned. So fast!

How had the Fourth Raikage's speed increased so suddenly...? It was now on par with his own Lightning Speed...!
