Ōnoki unleashed his signature move, Jinton.
A pure white separating field immediately formed, trapping Sasuke and his Susano'o within it.
No matter how tough Sasuke's Susano'o armor was, Ōnoki was confident he could vaporize it in a single attack!
This was the confidence his strongest Kekkei Tōta gave him!
But just as Jinton was almost fully active, a blazing red Susano'o arrow suddenly shot from the distance, heading towards Ōnoki!
Sensing the danger, Ōnoki instantly canceled Jinton and carried Kurotsuchi high into the air, narrowly avoiding the arrow.
The arrow passed by them, hitting the fortress behind, blowing away a large section of the thick wall; its power was no less than Sasuke's Kagutsuchi arrow.
Ōnoki trembled with fear.
'Whoa! Almost turned into dust...'
'Wasn't Sasuke trapped in my Jinton? Then who shot this Susano'o arrow?'
Ōnoki was confused, not understanding the situation.
The others were equally surprised.
Especially Sasuke himself, who saw the red Susano'o arrow and felt a familiar chakra.
His body trembled, shouting hysterically:
A few minutes earlier.
In the distance from the fortress, a dry forest was covered in snow.
Edo Tensei Nagato had already led the new Akatsuki "underworld" members to the location of the Five Kage Summit.
They witnessed Sasuke merge with Rolling Zetsu and then fight against the three Kage.
Seeing this, Nagato didn't rush to act.
Although the situation looked precarious, Sasuke with Zetsu could fight the Raikage and the others and wasn't in danger. So there was no need to appear hastily.
Besides, Nagato's main target was Black Zetsu! Before Zetsu appeared, he didn't want to reveal himself too early.
Before arriving, the "double spy" Kisame had alDiscover more novels on NovelHub - your gateway to endless stories.
Nagato already knew that Sasuke had become Black Zetsu's only tool to advance the Eye of the Moon Plan. In any case, Zetsu wouldn't let Sasuke die at the Five Kage Summit.
That's why Black Zetsu sent Rolling Zetsu to save Sasuke.
Supposedly, after merging, Rolling Zetsu would control Sasuke to escape; but who would have thought Sasuke's anger was so strong that he defeated Zetsu instead, taking control of the body and continuing to fight with the Raikage and the others.
But the situation was clear; even with Zetsu, Sasuke couldn't defeat the Raikage and the others.
Once Sasuke was in danger, Black Zetsu would definitely be forced to appear to save him!
That was the moment; once Zetsu appeared, they could deliver a big surprise and kill him instantly!
In addition, when he saw Naruto was also there, Nagato was slightly worried.
Although he knew Naruto couldn't save Amegakure in the future, he was still his fellow disciple, and they had reconciled.
Nagato had no malicious intentions towards Naruto and didn't want to accidentally kill him.
This was also another reason Nagato had held back until now.
The others, especially Edo Tensei Deidara, were already impatient to enter the battlefield; even Itachi had wanted to help Sasuke several times. But Nagato restrained them all.
With his status as someone resurrected from the dead, Discover more novels on NovelHub - your gateway to endless stories.
"Boss, when can we act?" Deidara was impatient.
"Wait a little longer."
"But, but Sasuke... what if he's killed by the Raikage? I haven't gotten my revenge yet!"
"Itachi is here; he won't die!"
Deidara looked at the silent Itachi, meeting his Mangekyou Sharingan gaze, and immediately felt a chill.
He was forced to suppress his dissatisfaction.
'One Uchiha is still manageable, but if these two brothers attack me together...'
'Even me and Sasori-nii wouldn't win...'
'Forget it, revenge can wait.'
'Give the boss some face; I'll challenge them both later!'
Deidara obediently made excuses. With Leader Nagato and Sasori-nii, he could still restrain himself.
But Sasuke's next ability far exceeded Nagato's and the others' expectations.
Unexpectedly, even against three Kage, Sasuke could use Raiton: Kirin to defeat the Kazekage, turning the situation around.
"Powerful Lightning Style, even utilizing the power of nature! Deidara, could you withstand such Lightning Style?"
Sasori, who was in a good mood, began to tease Deidara.
Deidara gasped, shocked by the power of Kirin; it was even more terrifying than Susano'o because Lightning Style was his greatest weakness!
But facing Sasori's teasing, he couldn't refute.
His face flushed, he stammered: "This is nothing! Its power is ordinary; it will definitely lose to my art; I just need to..."
The others laughed, the atmosphere becoming cheerful.
Itachi also smiled slightly. Naturally, he was happiest to see his younger brother's growth.
However, Sasuke's current anger and hatred were somewhat beyond his expectations.
He knew that with Obito's instigation, Sasuke was almost completely controlled by hatred and would fall into a deep abyss. This was not a good sign!
Fortunately, he was now revived.
There was still a chance to fix everything.
Of course, the main condition was that his beloved younger brother remained alive...
But with the current situation, perhaps Sasuke could really defeat three Kage?
Unfortunately, the situation changed too quickly; all plans couldn't keep up.
Although Sasuke had already defeated the Kazekage and Mizukage, almost winning; the appearance of Ōnoki instantly changed everything!
With Dust Release, even Susano'o's strongest defense meant nothing and would kill in one attack!
Seeing Sasuke trapped in Dust Release, Itachi couldn't remain silent anymore. He wasn't sure if Black Zetsu would save Sasuke.
But he couldn't take the risk! If he didn't act, Sasuke could really die from Dust Release!
So Itachi immediately activated Susano'o, drew his bow, and fired a super-fast arrow at Ōnoki.
