In Konoha, they wiped out the Sarutobi clan at the start.

Chapter 402 Akatsuki vs. Allied Shinobi Forces

"That old codger is really getting in the way." Deidara was still somewhat intimidated by the Tsuchikage, his former teacher, and a bead of cold sweat trickled down his forehead when he saw him arrive.

"Deidara, have you forgotten how terrifying I was?" With a roar, the Tsuchikage clasped his hands together and slowly condensed Dust Release.

"Heh." Upon hearing this, Deidara's face did not show much fear, but rather excitement. He sneered and roared, "Old Tsuchikage, let's see if your Dust Release is stronger, or my Exploding Shield is stronger."

As he spoke, he controlled the clay bird, sending it soaring into the sky.

"Always like to fight while running away." The Tsuchikage clicked his tongue, looking impatient. "Kazekage, Raikage, and everyone else, Deidara's ability is very dangerous, so I'll handle him. The rest of you just need to be careful."

After leaving those words, Onoki chased after Deidara in the direction he had gone.

"Then, this guy called Sasori of the Red Sand will be left to me." The Raikage glared at Sasori of the Red Sand, who had transformed into a giant, his hair standing on end. He activated his Lightning Release Chakra Mode to the limit and used Lightning Instantaneous Movement to pounce on Sasori at lightning speed.

"Interesting." Facing the approaching Raikage, Sasori showed no fear. With a rumble of machinery, he controlled the Gundam to launch more than a dozen missiles at the Raikage.

However, Raikage's Lightning Strike, performed at full power, was significantly faster, narrowly dodging the missile attack.

Rumble.

After a series of explosions, the Raikage was right next to Sasori.

"Interesting. It seems the precision of my mecha still needs improvement." Sasori said, sending several large, purple pills at the Raikage. "But this isn't something you can just dodge."

A series of muffled thunderclaps rang out, and the purple pill exploded the instant it missed Lei Ying, turning into a large cloud of dark purple poisonous mist that enveloped Lei Ying.

"Oh no!" Raikage exclaimed in alarm, quickly covering his mouth and nose.

At the critical moment, Temari unleashed a Wind Release technique, blowing away the poisonous mist. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Raikage arrived at the Gundam, his hand flashing with lightning, carrying an unparalleled sharpness, and swung out a hand chop, "Lightning Slaughter Horizontal Dance".

With a crack, an invisible chakra shield was released from the surface of the Gundam. Accompanied by a teeth-grinding cracking sound, the Raikage's attack struck the shield. Several cracks spread across the shield, but it did not break.

"Damn it!" Raikage roared through gritted teeth. He realized that this giant seemed to be no less powerful than Madara Uchiha's Susanoo in its third state, and his speed alone was not enough to break through its defense.

"Heh, interesting. It's been a long time since I've encountered such a resilient ninja." Seeing that the Raikage had actually dodged his chakra-targeting missile, Sasori couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.

The mech leaped backward, drew the giant sword from its back, and the two clashed, engaging in hand-to-hand combat between ninjutsu and puppets.

In terms of speed, it's clear that the Raikage, with his Lightning Instantaneous Body, has the upper hand.

However, in terms of strength and defense, it is no match for Scorpion's mech.

To prevent Sasori from using poison mist, the Sand Village Wind Release ninjas, led by Temari, also participated to assist the Raikage.

For a time, the two sides fought back and forth, neither able to gain the upper hand.

At the same time, Juzo Biwa also chose a suitable opponent, Chojuro. "Hey, you little brat with glasses and the twin swords Hiramekarei on your back."

"Hi," Chojuro was a shy boy. He was naturally familiar with and respected the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist. Upon hearing this, he stood up respectfully.

"I don't want to participate in this war. But my life was given to me by someone else, so I must obey his orders." Juzo glanced at Chojuro and the group of Kirigakure ninja beside him. "So, from now on, I will be your opponent."

"Being killed or whatever, I will stop you." He raised his guillotine, gazing at Chojuro. "Come on, try to surpass me, juniors."

Chojuro nodded emphatically, and clang. The two blades clashed together.

"It seems Deidara, Sasori, and Juzo have all found their opponents. Well, it's time for me to make my move." Kisame gripped Samehada and pointed at the Cloud Village led by Darui and Nozomi. "Speaking of the last time we captured the Eight-Tails, we didn't have a chance to really fight because of the infiltration mission, Mr. Darui. And Mr. Nozomi."

"We'd be happy to oblige." Darui and hope nodded to each other, and the two of them, along with seven or eight Cloud Ninja, opened up a new battlefield with Kisame.

"Let's make our move too. It's time to settle our score with those brats from Konoha," Kakuzu said, looking at Hidan.

"My scythe is thirsting for blood." Hidan held the Bloodstained Three-Month Scythe in his left hand and the Evil God Necklace in his right. He closed his eyes and prayed for a moment before suddenly opening them.

It lunged at the pig-deer-butterfly with a ferocious expression.

Kakuzu followed closely behind.

Right from the start, they used a life-for-life tactic.

Hidan feigns an attack, luring the Ino-Shika-Cho trio to block, while Kakuzu unleashes a ninjutsu from behind, attacking together with Hidan.

The familiar scene is playing out once again.

Clang. At the critical moment, Hidan's attack was blocked by Kakashi's kunai.

However, unlike before, Kakuzu learned from his previous battle and directly combined Wind Release and Fire Release, unleashing Lightning Release. He no longer intended to hold back.

Kakashi was already exhausted from the previous war, and now that he has lost his left eye, he is unable to use Kamui, and his chakra will not recover quickly.

Facing the fully-powered, immortal duo, they quickly found themselves in dire straits.

Fortunately, he wasn't alone.

At the critical moment, Neji's squad joined the battle, thus turning the tide of the battle.

"It seems the allied forces are exhausted from the previous battles." Konan looked indifferently at Gaara and the others who were full of vigilance in front of her.

After Deidara, Juzo, Kisame, Hidan, and Kakuzu joined the battle, Gaara and Jiraiya, among others, did not join the Allied Forces.

Because they knew that, apart from Deidara who was entangled by the Tsuchikage, the real threat was Konan and the young girl with Sharingan beside Nagato.

Rushing in without knowing Izumi's kaleidoscope abilities could be fatal.

"Lord Jiraiya. How about we maintain the status quo? I was once a Konoha ninja, and if possible, I don't want to hurt anyone."

Izumi looked at Jiraiya and kindly offered a suggestion.

"I'm sorry, young lady of the Uchiha clan. I'm very sorry about what happened to the Uchiha clan, but for the future of the ninja world, we must go and stop Chiya."

Jiraiya firmly stated.

"Since that's the case, then there's nothing we can do." Izumi's expression suddenly turned cold, and the three tomoe in his eyes instantly transformed into a shape composed of two complex patterns. A cold chakra unique to the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan was born as a result.
