Chapter 214: Overwhelming Power

Moon Island.

Western region.

Near the cliffside.

Kakashi's team finally escaped the dense jungle, emerging onto an open stretch of land where the ocean lay just ahead.

If they could make it into the water, they would have a better chance of escaping.

However, the moment they reached the coastline, they saw a lone figure hovering in midair.

A pair of wings extended from his back, and he was clad in flowing azure robes.

It was Baishi.

Given that Moon Island was his stronghold, Baishi had strategically placed Flying Thunder God marks all across the island.

So after confirming the direction in which Kakashi's team was retreating, he instantly teleported ahead to intercept them.

Without a word, he began weaving hand seals.

His speed was blinding—so fast that even elite Konoha ANBU struggled to follow his movements.

Seeing this, a voice suddenly called out from the group.

"Suiton!"

The one who spoke was Uchiha Itachi.

Others might not have been able to discern Baishi's movements, but with his three-tomoe Sharingan fully activated, Itachi saw through everything clearly.

Hearing his warning, a Konoha ANBU immediately stepped forward, swiftly performing his own hand seals.

"Doton: Earth Flow Wall!"

"Oh? Not bad."

Above them, Baishi's ears twitched slightly as he turned his gaze toward Itachi.

His silver eyes lingered briefly on the boy's three-tomoe Sharingan, then his youthful physique.

He quickly deduced his identity.

'Uchiha Itachi, huh?'

Despite his momentary distraction, his hands never stopped moving.

With a surge of chakra, he channeled his jutsu directly into the ocean.

A monstrous tidal wave—towering over thirty meters—rose from the sea, rushing toward Kakashi's team with devastating force.

Faced with such a terrifying onslaught, Kakashi's expression darkened.

Without hesitation, he formed hand seals.

"Doton: Earth Flow Wall!"

Two defensive walls erupted from the ground.

The first was an ordinary five-meter-high earthen wall, but it was quickly smashed apart by the roaring wave.

The second, however, was much sturdier—an elite-level Earth Wall, sculpted with massive dog heads and standing over ten meters tall.

Since the ocean wave had already lost some of its momentum crashing through the first wall, even with Senjutsu-enhanced chakra, Baishi's attack failed to break through the second.

"We blocked it!"

Seeing their defense hold firm, the Konoha shinobi sighed in relief.

"Oh? Is that so?"

Baishi's lips curled into a smirk. His hands flashed through another series of seals.

The seawater that had surged onto the coastline instantly froze, transforming into thousands of razor-sharp ice spears—each over two meters long, glistening under the sunlight.

"Hyōton: Ice Spears!"

With a mere thought, Baishi launched the barrage at the Konoha team.

The ice spears tore through the first Earth Wall effortlessly, shattering it into pieces.

"Brace yourselves!"

A brown-haired ANBU suddenly stepped forward, forming rapid seals.

A thick wooden wall surged from the ground, standing between the team and the incoming attack.

Unlike stone, these wooden defenses were extremely durable and flexible—many of the ice spears shattered upon impact or were deflected harmlessly away.

In the end, not a single Konoha shinobi was harmed.

"Wood Release?"

Baishi muttered, his gaze shifting toward the brown-haired ANBU.

He hadn't paid much attention to him earlier, but now that he focused, he immediately recognized his identity.

Yamato.

Though in this timeline, the man likely hadn't taken that name yet.

"Kakashi… Itachi… Yamato… Sharingan… Byakugan… Kikaichū…"

His eyes moved over each member of the Konoha team.

"And elite ANBU operatives…"

"Konoha really went all out for this mission."

With a cold chuckle, Baishi swiftly formed three hand seals—Rat → Boar → Snake—then clapped his hands together.

A transparent, conical energy formed between his palms.

Itachi's Sharingan immediately caught the chakra fluctuation, and his expression changed drastically.

"Be careful—it's Dust Release!"

The warning sent a wave of panic through the Konoha team.

All eyes locked onto Baishi, their bodies tense, ready to dodge at any moment.

It was evident that they were well-prepared for this encounter.

They had studied Baishi's abilities and formulated countermeasures.

"But…"

"Do your preparations even matter?"

Baishi's voice carried an ominous tone.

Without warning, he activated a subsonic soundwave jutsu.

A moment later, the Konoha shinobi felt as though their skulls had been struck by a sledgehammer.

Their vision blurred, balance wavered, and their bodies became sluggish.

With their reaction speed drastically impaired, they could no longer evade in time.

The next instant, Baishi unleashed his Dust Release beam.

Caught in the blast, many of the Konoha ANBU were instantly disintegrated into atoms.

Those who were only partially caught in the attack screamed in agony, their bodies half-erased yet still alive.

The battlefield echoed with horrific cries.

Irritated by the noise, Baishi extended his right hand.

A sharp screech filled the air as a rapidly rotating chakra construct formed in his palm.

"Fūton: Rasenshuriken!"

It was Naruto's S-rank Wind Release jutsu, an advanced form of the Rasengan that incorporated wind chakra nature transformation.

Given Baishi's mastery over Wind Release, recreating the technique had been relatively simple.

He had actually perfected it long ago—he had just never used it before.

Now, with Senjutsu chakra infused, its power was even more terrifying.

"Go."

With a flick of his wrist, Baishi hurled the Rasenshuriken at the surviving Konoha ANBU.

They were still reeling from the subsonic attack, unable to properly react.

Just as the Rasenshuriken was about to annihilate them, a massive red humanoid figure suddenly materialized in front of them.

A towering warrior, clad in glowing crimson armor, raised a shield, blocking the attack.

Baishi's attack vanished on impact.

Narrowing his eyes, he murmured, "So he finally awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan… and even used Susanoo immediately."

The red figure was unmistakable.

It was Susanoo—the ultimate defense of the Mangekyō Sharingan.

And the one who had activated it was none other than Uchiha Itachi.

In this timeline, Itachi had not experienced the death of Shisui or the pressure of a clan coup.

Thus, he had never awakened his Mangekyō Sharingan.

However, true genius would always shine through.

The brutal conditions of this battle—the mental assault, the devastating Dust Release, and witnessing his comrades perish—had pushed Itachi over the edge.

In the face of death, his Sharingan had evolved.

It was only because of this that he had barely managed to save the remaining survivors.
