Chichi...
A dazzling flash of lightning streaked across the dim sky, like a bolt of lightning in a storm!
However, this lightning-fast strike was still easily dodged by the winged, hideous 'Satori'.
Falling from the sky, Kakashi suddenly turned his head back, looking at 'Satori' circling in the air, his face incredibly grim.
Undoubtedly, the lightning in the sky just now was Kakashi's 'Raikiri'.
When launching this attack, Kakashi not only opened the first two gates of the 'Eight Inner Gates' himself, boosting his speed to his limit, but also cooperated with Guy, using the power of Guy's 'Konoha Whirlwind' kick to further enhance his speed.
But even so, he still failed to hit 'Satori'.
Boom boom boom...
Soon, blossoms of explosion firelight burst open in the sky again.
These were anti-air bombs modified by the Ninja Village Alliance's Engineering Corps. Once activated, they could lock down a whole airspace with explosions.
However, such dense explosions still failed to hurt a single hair on 'Satori'. Emitting shrill screeches from its mouth, it shuttled leisurely through the firelight of explosions, like a demon spreading its wings in the dark night!
"Damn it!"
Kakashi's face became even uglier.
Swish swish...
At this time, Asuma and Kurenai rushed to Kakashi's side together.
Looking at 'Satori' circling in the air, Asuma said: "We can't hit this monster at all. It seems we have to think of other ways!"
Kurenai said: "Casualties in the camp are heavy. We must lure this monster away first so the camp can treat the wounded."
When the support troops led by Kakashi arrived at the Land of Grass camp, the camp was already teetering on the verge of collapse under 'Satori's repeated harassment.
Because even if the camp activated the defensive barrier, it could only maintain temporary safety.
And a monster like 'Satori' with a size close to a Tailed Beast, even its most ordinary physical impact was not inferior in power to general 'S-rank' ninjutsu. So under 'Satori's ravages, the Barrier Corps in the camp couldn't hold on for long.
Thus, Kakashi couldn't care about deploying the entire ninja army into combat formation and directly launched a raid on 'Satori' in cooperation with Guy.
Soon, Yakumo, Ryuzetsu, Chino, and elites from various villages also rushed to Kakashi's side one after another.
Everyone looked up at 'Satori' screeching and circling in the sky, each with a solemn expression.
Flying targets were already very tricky, let alone a monster like 'Satori' which combined destructiveness and evasion.
Observing carefully with 'Ketsuryugan' for a while, Yakumo said: "Its ability to dodge attacks is not just sensing, it looks more like a kind of... a kind of precognition!"
Ameyuri Ringo was shocked: "What!?"
Kurotsuchi shook her head: "Precognition? How is this possible!"
Kakashi originally wanted to refute Yakumo too, but thinking carefully about his attack just now, the speed had reached the extreme. Even if ordinary enemies sensed it, they might not be able to dodge it. Yet 'Satori' could dodge so calmly, describing it as 'precognition' didn't seem excessive.
Yakumo pointed to the sky: "Look, even if it can sense the trajectory of the bombs, it's impossible to accurately sense the explosion range of the bombs before the explosion, yet it just happened to avoid the range of all bomb blasts!"
Reminded by Yakumo, everyone's expression stagnated.
Because the explosion power of the bombs shot into the sky by the ninja army was not uniform. Some bombs had greater power, while others were smaller. So according to common sense, it was impossible for the opponent to judge the explosion range of each bomb so accurately and then evade.
Cloud's Darui asked: "Then what should we do? If it can foresee our attacks, plus the ability to fly, our attacks can't work at all!"
Yakumo shook her head slowly: "Its ability to foresee attacks must have a trigger condition."
Temari asked: "What condition? This monster shouldn't need to form hand seals like us, right!"
Yakumo also fell silent.
At this time, everyone's gaze turned to Ryuzetsu and Chino. After all, the 'Box of Ultimate Bliss' was a war weapon of the Land of Grass. As ninjas of the Grass Ninja Village, they must know more than others.
Ryuzetsu pondered for a moment and said: "I don't know much about the 'Box of Ultimate Bliss' either, but I know Muku is controlling the 'Box of Ultimate Bliss' now. As long as I can find him, maybe I can persuade him to lock this monster back into the 'Box of Ultimate Bliss'!"
Kakashi asked urgently: "Can it be done?"
"Yes!"
Ryuzetsu nodded heavily.
Kakashi immediately began deployment: "Ryuzetsu, Chino, you two are responsible for finding Muku. Yakumo, Gaara, Temari, Kankuro, Ameyuri Ringo, Chojuro, Suigetsu, Kurotsuchi, Darui, Samui, Omoi, you are responsible for assisting Ryuzetsu and Chino."
"Yes!"
Everyone whose name was called responded in unison.
Then, Kakashi said to others aside: "Guy, Asuma, Kurenai, you assist me in temporarily luring that monster away. Shizune, you are responsible for assisting the Land of Grass camp in treating the wounded."
"Understood!"
The Jonin also nodded one after another.
Kakashi finally swept a glance at everyone: "Remember, this attack is very likely a trap set by the Akatsuki organization, so we may encounter attacks from formal members of the Akatsuki organization at any time. Everyone must be careful! If attacked, absolutely do not force it, remember to send a signal at the first moment!"
Pausing, Kakashi finally said: "This is a Ninja War. I hope there will still be a chance to drink with everyone after the war!"
Asuma laughed: "Then you have to treat!"
Kakashi nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, my treat! Alright, set off now!"
Swish swish swish...
Instantly, amidst a series of breaking wind sounds, the Alliance ninjas performed their respective duties and sped away in different directions.
In a forest in the distance.
Itachi, Juzo Biwa, Kakuzu, Hidan, Sasori, Deidara, Hiruko, Ranmaru, eight Akatsuki members stood, squatted, sat on the ground, or leaned against trees, lined up, looking at the Land of Grass camp being ravaged by 'Satori' in the distance.
Sitting cross-legged on the ground, Deidara smiled: "This monster is even trickier than imagined! Kakuzu, Hidan, where did you find it?"
Hidan, squatting on the ground shouldering the Triple-Bladed Scythe, looked proud: "How is it? Not bad, right?"
Sasori said: "Stop talking nonsense, the Ninja Village Alliance has started to move!"
Deidara asked: "Are we going to act too? Not wait for Moryo and Shinno? Hm!"
Juzo Biwa said: "Too late, let's do it!"
Hiruko grinned ferociously: "Let them properly experience the terror of the Akatsuki organization!"
