Naruto: Eating Kaido's Azure Dragon Devil Fruit-Chapter 265: Corrected Track

Deep within the Land of Fire, at a heavily guarded mountain valley stronghold.

This was Konoha’s temporary location for detaining important prisoners. Kitsuchi was imprisoned in the most heavily reinforced cell at the deepest part, with multiple sealing formulas applied to his body.

Fearing that Iwagakure might act desperately and send forces for a rescue attempt, Konoha had deployed a significant military presence here.

Visible sentries and hidden sentries were arranged in an overlapping pattern. The barrier team maintained a twenty-four-hour rotation. Furthermore, over a hundred elite shinobi were stationed here, including team leaders of Jonin level.

The atmosphere was heavy, and security was extremely tight.

However, all of this seemed utterly pale and powerless before a certain figure.

Midnight.

A figure appeared soundlessly at the entrance of the valley.

He wore simple, dark clothing, with a wild and unruly mane of white hair and a cold, stern face. Most striking were his eyes, which faintly glowed with a red light in the darkness.

It was Uchiha Madara, who had infiltrated here using White Zetsu’s Mayfly Technique!

"Who goes there?!"

The Konoha shinobi on duty immediately spotted this uninvited guest, and a sharp alarm sounded.

A large number of Konoha shinobi surged forth from various positions.

Kunai and shuriken instantly rained down towards Madara. Several Jonin directly formed hand seals, and Fire Release and Wind Release ninjutsu roared out, attempting to instantly annihilate this audacious intruder.

Facing this concentrated assault, enough to wipe out a small squad in an instant, Uchiha Madara did not even shift his footing.

He slowly raised his head. His three-tomoe Sharingan calmly swept over the incoming attacks, his gaze as indifferent as if watching insects struggle.

"Boring."

He lightly uttered two words.

The next moment, a chakra so vast it was suffocating erupted violently!

Instantly, it constructed a perfect Susanoo clad in Tengu armor, each hand gripping a massive chakra longsword, towering between heaven and earth!

Merely by standing there, it exuded a terrifying aura of absolute destruction!

Its height even surpassed the surrounding mountain peaks!

"What... what kind of monster is that?!"

"A god? Or a demon?!"

The sight before them utterly shattered the Konoha shinobi’s understanding.

Before this colossal entity, they felt as insignificant as dust, unable to even muster the will to resist.

Many shinobi froze in place, their minds blank.

"Do not give up! Attack! For Konoha! For the Will of Fire!"

A Jonin captain roared hoarsely, trying to rouse his comrades’ fighting spirit.

Sporadic Fire Release and Lightning Release attacks struck the Susanoo’s armor, failing to leave even a scratch.

Uchiha Madara stood within the crystal on the Susanoo’s forehead, his gaze icy.

"Noisy."

At his will, the perfect Susanoo suddenly swung the massive chakra longsword in its right hand!

No fancy techniques, just a simple horizontal slash!

Hum——!

A purple crescent-shaped sword wave spread out like a new moon, instantly sweeping across an area hundreds of meters ahead!

Boom rumble rumble!!!

Wherever the sword wave passed, whether it was shinobi attempting hand seals, hastily erected Earth Style walls, or dense forests...

Everything was instantly sliced cleanly apart, then crumbled and vanished!

The earth was carved with a bottomless, gigantic fissure!

With just one strike, over thirty Konoha shinobi vanished from the world, without even a chance to scream!

The survivors looked at the area instantly cleared and the chasm that seemed to lead straight to hell. Utter despair overwhelmed them.

"We cannot win... we will all die..."

"Run!"

The collapse began.

Faced with this power beyond comprehension, courage and will became a joke.

Uchiha Madara ignored the fleeing insects and controlled the Susanoo to walk towards the interior of the valley.

Each step shook the earth, as if the entire valley trembled beneath his feet.

Anything attempting to block his path was easily crushed before the absolute power of the Susanoo.

The chakra longsword swung casually, capable of slicing through mountain peaks and carving the earth.

In a very short time, the entire valley transformed from a strictly guarded stronghold into a violently ravaged ruin, strewn with corpses, like a scene of divine punishment.

Uchiha Madara arrived before the cell holding Kitsuchi.

Kitsuchi looked up at this purple warrior god, towering like a creator deity, and at that figure as cold and indifferent as a god. His soul trembled.

What kind of mighty power was this?!

Uchiha Madara did not even glance at Kitsuchi. He scooped him up as if picking up a pebble, holding him within the Susanoo’s palm.

The task completed, he did not linger.

The colossal perfect Susanoo turned, its wings vibrating once, then departed from this valley turned into hell with thunderous momentum, disappearing into the depths of the night.

Only the Konoha shinobi who had narrowly escaped death remained, collapsed amidst the ruins.

Gazing at the retreating figure of the demon god, their hearts were filled with endless fear and the bewildering relief of having survived a catastrophe.

...

Approximately half an hour later.

At the edge of the devastated valley, several special devices, seemingly randomly scattered and only the size of buttons, flickered faintly.

A ninja cat with orange and yellow fur, moving with exceptional agility, appeared here silently.

It was Chinchilla.

It twitched its nose, scanned the surroundings warily, then quickly located those scattered miniature camera recording devices one by one, using its paw to place them into the small scroll pouch it carried.

After completing this task, its figure merged into the shadows with a flicker, as if it had never been there.

...

Konoha Frontline Camp, in Sora’s tent.

Space rippled slightly, and Chinchilla’s figure flashed into appearance.

"Meow~ Boss Sora, the things you wanted."

It pulled out those miniature devices from the scroll pouch and pushed them towards Sora.

Sora picked up the devices, connected them to a small playback unit, and began watching the recorded battle footage.

Though it was only imagery, the sight of the purple Susanoo towering between heaven and earth, the devastating destruction brought by its casual movements, and the scene of Konoha shinobi being harvested like straw were still immensely shocking.

’With just three tomoe, he can activate the perfect Susanoo... As expected of Indra’s reincarnation. Uchiha Madara’s strength truly cannot be underestimated,’ Sora thought to himself.

Even though the Rinnegan was currently with Nagato, the power Madara displayed at this moment absolutely surpassed the ordinary Kage level, firmly placing him at the Super Kage tier.

’However, judging by his appearance, he really doesn’t have many years left to live.’

Sora noticed some subtle movements and aura from Madara in the footage, confirming his previous assessment.

Although he had always preserved his strength, unwilling to directly confront Uchiha Madara to avoid being taken out in a final, desperate exchange, it didn’t mean he didn’t dare to gather information from the sidelines.

After all, there were some differences between the anime and reality. Fortunately, based on this setup, it seemed largely consistent.

"Boss Sora, payment, one thousand ryo, meow!"

Chinchilla extended its paw, interrupting Sora’s thoughts.

Sora expressionlessly counted out banknotes from his ninja tool pouch and placed them on the plump cat paw.

"Pleasure doing business, meow~"

Chinchilla skillfully stored the money and vanished with a flicker of its form.
