Chapter 249: The Battle of Myouboku Mountain
Chapter 249: The Battle of Myouboku Mountain
Myouboku Mountain, one of the Three Great Holy Lands, was hidden among the mountains and beside a lake.
For millennia, it had been visited not only by Jiraiya, Minato Namikaze, and Uzumaki Naruto but also by many others who stumbled upon it by chance.
Those who passed the trials of Myouboku Mountain were taught senjutsu and formed a contractual relationship with the mountain's toads.
However, over the centuries, very few people successfully mastered senjutsu.
The vast majority ended up becoming part of the stone toads that inhabited the mountain.
Yuyi Xuan Yue had not come to Myouboku Mountain to cultivate senjutsu, nor did he expect a warm welcome.
Without bothering to greet anyone, he directly ventured into the thick mist that shrouded the mountain's outskirts, ignoring the genjutsu trials prepared for aspiring trainees, and continued forward until he reached a cave within the mountain, where the mist finally dissipated.
Drip! Drip!
Water droplets fell from the cave ceiling.
Yuyi Xuan Yue surveyed his surroundings and continued walking nonchalantly.
The cave was deep.
Yuyi Xuan Yue walked for a while but still couldn't see the end.
Moreover, his keen perception revealed that the path beneath his feet seemed to be constantly extending.
He paused.
Just then, a deafening voice reverberated throughout the cave, "Who are you?"
"Yuyi Xuan Yue," he replied politely, unsurprised by the question.
"Yuyi Xuan Yue? I know of you," the voice boomed again, this time with a hint of surprise. "This is Myouboku Mountain. What brings you here?"
"The jinchuriki of the Nine-Tails, Uzumaki Naruto. Hand him over, and Myouboku Mountain and I can part ways peacefully," Yuyi Xuan Yue stated his purpose directly.
"Uzumaki Naruto? Absolutely not!" came the resolute reply. "Leave now, Yuyi Xuan Yue! Or stay forever!"
"Although I expected as much, your unwavering determination still surprises me a little."
Yuyi Xuan Yue shook his head.
"What a pity."
"What's pitiful?"
"It's a shame that a sacred site like Myouboku Mountain, which has endured for millennia, will likely cease to exist from this day forward."
"How dare you!"
With a roar of anger, the entire cave underwent a violent transformation.
Deep crimson flesh walls rapidly grew from the four sides, as well as the ceiling and the floor.
In the blink of an eye, Yuyi Xuan Yue found himself seemingly inside the stomach of a colossal creature, surrounded by rapidly writhing flesh walls that squeezed inward from all directions, leaving him with less and less space until his entire body was completely devoured and digested.
"This scene feels familiar," Yuyi Xuan Yue remarked as he casually pulled out a kunai and threw it at the nearby flesh wall.
The kunai sliced through the flesh like a knife through butter, creating a gaping hole.
However, as the kunai penetrated further, the initially sliced flesh wall writhed and quickly healed, continuing to press forward unabated.
As for the kunai, it had completely vanished without a trace.
Yuyi Xuan Yue recalled the event from the original story.
It was here, in the stomach of the Great Toad Boss, that Uchiha Itachi and Kisame Hoshigaki had abandoned their mission to capture the Nine-Tails jinchuriki, Naruto. Itachi had used his Amaterasu to escape this predicament.
Unless something unexpected happened, he was now inside the belly of the same Great Toad Boss.
"Since that's the case..."
Yuyi Xuan Yue brought his hands together.
"Dust Release: Detachment of the Primitive World Technique!"
Just as the flesh walls were about to squeeze him from all sides, a square, semi-transparent barrier rose from Yuyi Xuan Yue's hands.
Behind him, a painful cry rang out.
YuYi Xuan Yue turned to see a colossal, lime-skinned toad, taller than the nearby mountains, glaring at him with furious eyes.
"I didn't think toads could grow so large," YuYi Xuan Yue remarked in surprise.
It was by far the largest toad he had ever seen. Its size rivaled that of a fully transformed Susanoo.
Boom!
A nearby mountain peak was ripped from the ground and hurled toward YuYi Xuan Yue by the giant toad named Iwa-yado.
As the guardian of Mount Myouboku, Iwa-yado was second only to the Great Toad Sage in terms of strength among the toad clan of the mountain.
Although it had just been hit by YuYi Xuan Yue's Dust Release technique, its stomach had evolved over centuries of senjutsu, and with the aid of barrier techniques, it had created its own spacetime within. Anyone swallowed by it would find themselves in a different spacetime.
This was how Jiraiya was able to summon a portion of its stomach wall.
And despite being hit by the Dust Release, Iwa-yado's body didn't explode; instead, it remained intact and continued to fight because its stomach had already become a separate spacetime.
At this moment, with the massive influx of senjutsu chakra nourishing it, Iwa-yado's stomach wounds had already healed, and it resumed its battle with YuYi Xuan Yue without pause.
As the guardian of the mountain, its duty was to stop any foreign enemy from entering Mount Myouboku.
Boom!
YuYi Xuan Yue effortlessly dodged the thrown mountain peak, ignoring the dust cloud it created. He looked up to see Iwa-yado leaping down, attempting to crush him with its massive weight.
"My Heavenly Susanoo can't push back something this big," YuYi Xuan Yue thought.
"But since you've come to me, I'll send you off properly."
YuYi Xuan Yue remained calm and even spared a glance backward, where the deep recesses of Mount Myouboku were stirring with the realization that a major battle was taking place.
"It's also time to begin the full-scale capture of the tailed beasts."
YuYi Xuan Yue fiddled with his Zero Ring, sending his orders to all members of the tailed beast capture squads.
After transmitting his commands, he calmly looked up at the massive toad bearing down on him, about to crush him under its weight.
At the same time.
Sasuke and Kisame exchanged a glance as they received the message, then swiftly took out the Cloud ninja guards outside the canyon with a few quick movements. They rushed into the canyon and found Killer B, the jinchuriki of the Eight-Tails, humming and composing music.
Killer B looked up and asked excitedly, "Yo~ who are you guys?"
Elsewhere, Kakuzu and Hidan quickened their pace, and in the distance, they spotted the jinchuriki of the Two-Tails lying unconscious not far away.
"Be careful, there might be traps," Kakuzu warned.
"Don't worry, I'll take point!" Hidan replied confidently.
The two quickly devised a strategy for their approach.
In the skies above Sunagakure, Deidara, brimming with excitement, mounted his clay giant bird with Akatsuki member Sasori. They easily reached the village and descended upon the Kazekage Tower.
"I've been waiting for this moment," Deidara said, his hands filled with clay bombs. He threw them gleefully toward the tower.
"Art is an explosion! Let's go!"
Boom!!
The battle had officially begun!
