Chapter 252: Myobokuzan... Destroyed!
Chapter 252: Myobokuzan... Destroyed!
Light!
Infinite light!
Under the watchful eyes of the toad inhabitants of Myobokuzan, a dazzling radiance erupted from Hagoromo Otsutsuki, illuminating the entire mountain with its brilliance.
The glare was so intense that it even obscured the sun behind him.
Gamabunta, already filled with unease and trepidation, could not help but lower his head as the blinding light enveloped his vision.
Yet, driven by his mounting anxiety, he couldn't help but demand an answer, "Hagoromo Otsutsuki! What are you doing?!?"
Hagoromo Otsutsuki remained silent.
Instead, an eerie stillness befell the entire Myobokuzan region.
The rustling of the wind, the flow of water, the croaking of frogs, and even Gamabunta, who was about to speak further, fell into a sudden silence as if everything had been frozen in time, creating an unchanging tableau.
Until the next moment.
A powerful external force shattered this static scene into pieces.
In Gamabunta's field of vision, everything in front of him seemed to be playing out like a silent movie.
An unparalleled repulsive force descended from the heavens.
Wherever it passed, toads, flora, trees, mountains, and the earth itself were effortlessly scattered like dandelion fluff, crushed or flung outwards with no resistance.
Time seemed to slow down at this moment, allowing Gamabunta to take in every detail with utmost clarity.
He even believed that he could easily dodge the impending attack.
However, just as Gamabunta was about to move, he was astonished to find that the repulsive force connecting the heavens and the earth had already reached him.
BOOM!!!
Only then did Gamabunta hear the deafening, bone-chilling roar that accompanied the force.
"Me..."
He wore a confused expression, intending to say something more, but the terrifying force had already collided with his massive body.
In an instant!
The bewilderment on Gamabunta's face turned to sheer terror.
There was no way to stop it!
With a sickening crack, Gamabunta spewed a mouthful of blood as if he had been struck by a speeding train. With a "whoosh," he was sent flying backward, following the trajectory of the expanding Super Shinra Tensei.
Gamabunta crashed through countless buildings, mountains, rocks, and toads along the way.
Just as he was about to lose consciousness from the onslaught, he took one last look in the direction from which he had come.
"Myobokuzan is finished!"
Filled with profound despair, Gamabunta succumbed to darkness.
RUMBLE!
With the force of annihilation and renewal, the Super Shinra Tensei did not halt despite Gamabunta's unconscious state. Passing over him, it allowed various debris to bury him deeply before continuing its relentless advance toward the rest of Myobokuzan, pushing aside the rubble in its path as if it were mere sand.
Wherever it went, the once-mighty army of toads, the countless mountains that had stood for eons, and the numerous lakes that dotted the landscape were all instantly reduced to nothingness under the watchful gaze of Hagoromo Otsutsuki from above.
Until it reached the residence of the Great Toad Sage.
Hagoromo Otsutsuki looked on.
He saw that when the unstoppable Super Shinra Tensei swept to where the Great Toad Sage resided, it was as if an invisible force was momentarily halting its progress, causing a brief pause of a few breaths.
However, this resistance was quickly overwhelmed.
The relentless repulsive force continued to roll forward.
At the same time.
"What must come will come."
Within the grand hall, the Great Toad Sage, seated on a throne befitting a "Sage," sighed.
Beside him, Naruto, who had just been forcefully brought to the Great Toad Sage's presence, hadn't even caught his breath yet when he heard an unprecedentedly heavy rumbling from outside the hall.
However, the very next second, as he reached the doorway and was about to step out,
BOOM!
An incredibly powerful shockwave slammed into him like a tidal wave.
Naruto, who was right at the epicenter, didn't even have time to react. With a 'whoosh', he was uncontrollably sent flying back inside.
Fukasaku and Shima tried to grab hold of him.
But the moment they made contact with the lingering repulsive force, they too were sent tumbling back.
The Great Frog Sage watched this unfold.
Finally stirring from his long inaction, he rose from his throne and, with one hand, caught the three of them—Naruto, Fukasaku, and Shima—as they flew back, placing them safely behind him.
Then, the Great Frog Sage turned to face the oncoming, overwhelmingly powerful shockwave, a glint of determination in his aged eyes.
RUMBLE!
The next second, the grand hall completely collapsed.
The catastrophic event that swept through everything came and went in an instant.
In the time it took for people in other places to eat two skewers of dumplings, the once-renowned ninja world's mighty sacred ground, Myobokuzan, had been reduced to ruins.
The Super Shinra Tensei had ended.
While the smoke at the outermost perimeter had not yet dissipated, most of the area had returned to its previous tranquility.
Yui Xuan Yue looked down from above.
He saw that a massive crater had replaced the once-scenic landscape of surrounding mountains and dotted lakes, becoming the new topography of Myobokuzan.
Above the crater, aside from the pile of building debris at the very edge, there were almost no signs of civilization left within.
All that remained were layers of scraped soil, rubble, and the corpses of frogs.
Of course, not all the frogs had perished.
Some were still unconscious, while others with less severe injuries were struggling to crawl out from the rubble, the soil, or from outside the mountain.
Compared to regular ninjas, the frogs' physiques were generally stronger.
Even among the Konoha ninjas who had faced a similar situation, some had survived, let alone these frogs.
Even so, these frogs had basically lost their combat effectiveness.
Yui Xuan Yue paid them no further attention and slowly descended from the air.
As his feet touched the ground, a deep-red frog nearby forcefully dug itself out from under the thick layer of soil that had buried it.
Before it could even catch its breath, the deep-red frog suddenly became aware of Yui Xuan Yue standing right beside it.
Instinctively, its body trembled violently.
Normally, even if it were badly injured, it would definitely attack the enemy in front of it.
But now...
It was too terrifying!
Recalling the scene of Yui Xuan Yue effortlessly leveling Myobokuzan with just one move, the deep-red frog couldn't help but feel a sense of lingering fear.
It wanted to muster up the courage to fight, but it just couldn't bring itself to do so.
Especially now, as it noticed that after casting that terrifying jutsu, Yui Xuan Yue seemed to have paid no price at all and was calmly walking past it.
The deep-red frog could only feel despair.
The gap between their strengths was just too vast. It didn't even have the will to fight anymore and could only hold its breath, watching helplessly as Yui Xuan Yue continued walking forward.
Like this deep-red frog, many other survivors had been struck with such fear that they had lost their fighting spirit.
From start to finish, Yui Xuan Yue paid them no heed.
His gaze was fixed on one place and one place only.
The former residence of the Great Toad Sage.
