BOOM!
Water sprayed high into the air, the backwash of the wave momentarily suppressing the flames.
However, against a fireball dozens of meters in diameter, the resulting inferno, the Water Dragon Bullet proved utterly ineffective.
The earth was ablaze with crimson flames; the burning intensity only faltered slightly before instantly vaporizing the moisture from the Water Dragon Bullet.
This astonishing scene completely overturned their understanding of the elemental chakra affinities. As the saying goes, fire, when powerful enough, can overcome even water.
"Impossible! Kai, you can't die!" the young man roared, crazed.
His hands flew like wheels, weaving a series of hand seals. Water dragons, seemingly endless, slammed into the inferno.
Yet, to extinguish the Great Fireball Technique casually thrown by Kai, it took two or three minutes.
When the last flicker of flame was extinguished, the air reeked of burnt flesh, but not a single corpse remained.
The sheer power of the attack caused the surviving Akatsuki members to gulp nervously. They looked at Uchiha Kai with fear and awe, some even involuntarily taking a step back.
As for those who had initially been driven to madness by the human bombs, they were so terrified that they scrambled to escape.
At that moment, saving their wives and children seemed trivial compared to their own lives. Even the Blood Clan, a source of terror to them, had been reduced to ashes without a struggle.
Let alone ordinary people.
"Black Zetsu, didn't you say the Blood Dragon Eyes could rival the Sharingan? How could they be so easily defeated?" Danzo's face darkened, his composure shattered.
Their plan was to use Hanzo of the Salamander to lure Akatsuki. Then, Blood Storm, the Blood Clan leader, would use genjutsu on the villagers, causing the blood in their bodies to boil and become highly explosive.
The villagers would lure Yahiko, Nagato, and the other Akatsuki members into the village. Then, the human bombs would capture everyone except Nagato, including Yahiko and Konan.
However, this seemingly flawless plan went awry. After the human bombs succeeded, Blood Storm seemed to have gone mad, standing in place, muttering and laughing hysterically.
This sudden turn of events shocked Danzo and the others. After their frantic warnings proved futile, they hastily retreated.
When they realized what had happened, they discovered that Kai, who they had intended to use Konan as bait to lure out, had infiltrated Akatsuki.
"I didn't expect that the Blood Dragon Eyes, supposedly comparable to the Uchiha clan's Sharingan, would fall victim to genjutsu so easily," Black Zetsu's voice echoed from Danzo's shadow.
The shadow split open, revealing a figure with a yin-yang face.
But his expression was as grim as Danzo's.
Since Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Kai's last encounter just a few months ago, the boy's progress was astounding.
No!
Even "astounding" was an understatement.
It was beyond description, causing Black Zetsu to worry that, given time, even his mother couldn't defeat this boy.
"Black Zetsu, we meet again," Kai said, removing his mask and looking at Orochimaru. "I was planning to take my time finding you, but you've come to me."
"Last time, you ran away with your tail between your legs after I killed Uchiha Madara. Now, you've brought everyone I want together."
Kai looked at Black Zetsu again, smiling warmly. "Should I kill you first, or thank you?"
His soft words swept through the battlefield like a hurricane.
Those standing beside Black Zetsu's faces changed dramatically.
No!
Their faces were ashen with terror.
The outcome was simply too shocking.
"Uchiha Madara is still alive?" Danzo grabbed Black Zetsu's shoulder, shouting, "Black Zetsu, why did you hide that Uchiha Madara was killed by this brat?"
For these veteran ninjas, even Hanzo of the Salamander, facing the demigod Madara, was merely a subordinate.
In the chaotic Warring States period, the legendary Madara Uchiha and the God of Shinobi, Hashirama Senju, were mountains that weighed on every ninja's heart.
Those who had experienced or witnessed Madara's fighting style still felt short of breath when they recalled it.
Yet, someone was telling them that the legendary ninja had been killed by a young boy.
The information overload was immense!
Had they known, they would have reconsidered facing the Rinnegan and the Mangekyo Sharingan.
"No, you've misunderstood," Black Zetsu said, his face showing a hint of panic as he felt the murderous intent around him.
In the original story, Black Zetsu wasn't good at fighting; he was a support type. He was good at escaping, but many could easily defeat him in battle.
Seeing Danzo and the others about to lose their temper, Black Zetsu hastily explained, "He did kill Madara, but Madara was old and frail, unable to unleash his full power. By my estimation, he was only at ten or twenty percent of his peak strength."
"Consider this: even the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, couldn't survive. Madara was severely injured and killed at the Valley of the End. It's remarkable that he even survived, let alone lived for a hundred years and maintained his peak strength. He was an old man by then."
Black Zetsu raised three fingers, urgently saying, "If you don't believe me, I swear that Madara was indeed killed by that brat, but he was an old man at the time."
His hysterical explanation echoed through the battlefield, leaving many speechless.
