Chapter 1000: The Shinobi World's Stage is Too Small for So Many Dancers!
Chapter 1000: The Shinobi World's Stage is Too Small for So Many Dancers!
"Screw this old manipulative bastard!" Tang Ping couldn't help but curse under his breath at the hidden figure in the Pure Land.
He was certain that Naruto's capture by Madara was influenced by someone behind the scenes. Otherwise, even with Madara regaining his eyes and surpassing Naruto's strength in Mythical Fox Mode, it wouldn't have been this easy.
It was clear that the Sage of the Six Paths was allowing Madara to succeed, fearing that time might bring unforeseen complications, especially with the Sage keeping a close eye on the situation.
However, Tang Ping's words were merely a vent, and he had no intention of interfering.
His goal, like that of the Sage and the White Zetsu, was to bring about the arrival of Princess Kaguya.
Despite the chaos on the battlefield, only a few were truly pulling the strings behind the scenes.
The White Zetsu, however, played a secondary role in this intricate plan.
Even the Sage of the Six Paths, with his hidden advantages, would not have been the ultimate victor in the original plot if he hadn't held a higher hand in the shadows.
Tang Ping, with his foreknowledge of the future, had strategically placed his pieces at critical junctures, giving him an edge over the Sage.
This advantage was a one-time opportunity! If they missed this chance, the lack of intelligence advantage in the future might lead to defeat, even with greater strength.
This was why Tang Ping had emphasized, "This is the only chance in this lifetime."
His words were not spoken lightly!
The Allied Shinobi Forces, upon seeing Madara rush towards the Ten-Tails, realized the gravity of the situation and charged forward desperately.
A, Otsutsuki, Yellow Earth, and other powerful shinobi disregarded the Solar Flare Army and rushed towards the enemy, abandoning their allies in their haste.
"What should we do next?" Uzumaki Mei asked through the command network.
Although she was the commander, she was well aware of the intricate web of secrets within this final battle and dared not make hasty decisions.
Even with Tang Ping's subtle hints, Uzumaki Mei, as his fiancee, understood the many mysteries surrounding this battle. Despite her confidence in her abilities, she would not act rashly.
"Let Madara become the Jinchuriki of the Ten-Tails. Don't interfere with him, and use this opportunity to attack the Allied Shinobi Forces... The shinobi world's stage is too small for so many dancers!" Tang Ping, the observer, promptly replied.
There was no need to conceal their intentions at this stage; at the very least, they could openly state their short-term goals.
Why take advantage of the opportunity to attack the Allied Shinobi Forces?
Because there would never be another chance to massacre the Allied Shinobi Forces on such a large scale.
After this decisive battle, if the Allied Shinobi Forces encountered the Solar Flare Army again, they would likely retreat, making it more challenging to deal with them in the future.
In a direct confrontation, the Solar Flare Army could easily crush the Allied Shinobi Forces. However, if the enemy resorted to guerrilla tactics or underhanded methods, it would become a much more significant challenge.
The consequences of the shinobi engaging in guerrilla warfare would be catastrophic, given their abilities.
Therefore, it was imperative to eliminate as many enemies as possible during this final battle, rather than face the hassle of dealing with them through guerrilla warfare after the battle's conclusion.
Additionally, eliminating enemies on the battlefield was entirely different from dealing with them after they surrendered. On the battlefield, no one would question the slaughter.
However, once the enemy surrendered, killing them would be unacceptable unless one was willing to risk causing internal unrest and dissatisfaction.
Hence, the more enemies eliminated during this final battle, the fewer potential problems in the future.
There was another advantage to killing more enemies.
It would create more living space for the survivors!
After unifying the shinobi world, the fewer surrendered ninjas, the more room there would be for the Solar Flare Army's ninjas.
While ordinary ninjas might not grasp this, higher-ups like Yagura, Terumi Mei, and Uzumaki Mei could understand the implications of Tang Ping's subtle message.
Tang Ping didn't intend to be cryptic, but some things were better left unsaid.
He couldn't openly tell the high-ranking officials, "The more Allied Shinobi Forces ninjas we kill, the better it is for us."
Tang Ping, as the leader of the Solar Flare Army, had to maintain some decorum, especially now. So, he could only hint at his intentions.
If they didn't understand, he would find a way to inform them individually.
However, it was evident that the intelligent commanders among the high-ranking officials had caught on.
They all sprang into action.
The Solar Flare Army launched a full-scale offensive.
"What? We're advancing now?" TenTen, who had been enjoying the 'free target practice,' was taken aback by the sudden order.
The previous command had been to hold their position, so this new directive caught her off guard.
But after her initial surprise, she quickly moved forward, protected by powerful shinobi like Hyuga Hinata, Uzumaki Naruto, Nara Shikamaru, Houkai, Uzumaki Sasuke, and Yamanaka Koji.
Indeed, the Solar Flare Army's offensive strategy centered around protecting TenTen.
(End of Chapter 1000)
Her individual firepower was enough to rival an entire legion, ensuring their side would never suffer a shortage of offensive power as long as she was present.
In a one-on-one fight, her role might be somewhat limited, as the agility and speed of ninjas made it all too easy for opponents to dodge and create distance.
However, in this large-scale battle, the enemy had little room to maneuver or escape, making it a 'Mitarashi TenTen's playground.'
Moreover, her innate spatial affinity eliminated any logistical concerns.
As for ammunition?
Long before the battle commenced, TenTen had filled her spatial pocket to the brim.
With the massive allocation of resources, she had grown tremendously, especially after Tang Ping used the 'Undying God' to refine three types of elixirs, all of which TenTen had consumed.
First was the 'Elixir of Immortality,' which guaranteed her resurrection even if she were assassinated.
Its only drawback was its short duration of a few days; if nothing happened during that time, the elixir would be wasted.
There was also the 'Elixir of Eternity,' which comprehensively enhanced her physical attributes and was the reason for TenTen's significant improvement in fundamentals, bringing her to the brink of becoming a Jinchuriki.
Lastly, there was the 'Elixir of the Soul,' a precious substance capable of enhancing one's soul or innate talent.
There were only five bottles of this elixir, and even Tang Ping was reluctant to part with them.
However, he gave one to TenTen, causing her spatial affinity to increase several times over, which was crucial for her terrifying performance in today's battle.
TenTen's spatial pocket was not only filled with these weapons but also an enormous amount of ammunition.
Additionally, she could easily resupply at the rear valley base whenever needed.
Her spatial affinity made her resupply speed astonishingly fast, taking less than an hour for a round trip.
With a single use of the Flying Thunder God Technique, they could instantly return to the Solar Flare Country for resupply, and with TenTen's efficient ammunition loading, the process could be completed in a minute or less.
Invincible!
TenTen's ammunition supply was virtually limitless, as long as it was adequately prepared beforehand.
For this decisive battle, the Solar Flare Country had been preparing for many years. While they couldn't claim to have infinite ammunition, they had more than enough to allow TenTen to fire at will.
Among the various ammunition types, the number of air-to-ground missiles alone exceeded ten thousand.
Each missile contained five explosive tags, totaling over fifty thousand tags.
Compared to the previous Great Ninja Wars, where a few thousand tags were used in a major battle, the utilization of explosive tags had been increasing exponentially.
This was due to the improved production techniques and the growing number of Uchiha clan members handcrafting explosive tags, significantly reducing costs. Without these measures, the procurement of explosive tags alone could have bankrupted the Solar Flare Country.
With her safety and unlimited ammunition guaranteed, TenTen went all out.
Naturally, her firepower network would miss many enemies, as ninjas had numerous survival techniques.
Whether it was infiltrating underground, transformation, or other methods, even with TenTen's advanced tactical goggles, it would be impractical to spend time dealing with them all. Thus, these tasks were left to the nearby powerful individuals and forces.
Her primary task was to advance relentlessly.
With Hyuga Hinata, Neji, and other members of the Hyuga clan acting as human radar, even the White and Red Absolutes would find it challenging to approach from underground.
The Uchiha clan, on the other hand, served as the main attackers, rushing to eliminate targets identified by the Hyuga clan.
With these two clans providing such close protection, TenTen's privileged treatment was evident.
However, she more than earned this treatment.
Single-handedly, she tore through the battlefield!
The artillery fire never ceased, and its precision was terrifying, making her killing efficiency unmatched.
Moreover, it wasn't just the ground forces advancing. In the sky, fifty bulky bombers approached from the same direction as the Raptor Fighters, perfect for ground attacks.
Compared to the fighters, these behemoths were better suited for ground combat.
With the Solar Flare Army advancing on the ground and the bombers threatening from above, the Allied Shinobi Forces were directly paralyzed.
