Chapter 599: You Have Chosen the Path of Death!
Chapter 599: You Have Chosen the Path of Death!
The bright sunshine, fresh air, lush greenery, clear streams, and abundant natural energy!
All of this combined is what makes Mystic Wood Mountain so special.
Strictly speaking, among the three sacred sites, only Mystic Wood Mountain is suitable for human habitation.
The Dragon Ground Cavern and the Wet Bone Forest are both places where mortals dare not venture.
Therefore, this place is undoubtedly an excellent location.
Greed!
Whether it was Uchiha Yae or the other high-ranking members, a glint of greed flashed in their eyes. Such a wonderful place was destined to be connected to their Heavenly Castle.
Although the natural energy in Tonkyu was no weaker than here, no one would complain about having more good things.
Not to mention that it was impossible to develop that place.
But once Mystic Wood Mountain belonged to them, they could 'reward' their own forces.
At this moment, one could see toad corpses scattered everywhere.
It was obviously Chubinmaru's masterpiece.
With his expertise in stealth and concealment, dealing with these toads was not a problem.
Even if Mystic Wood Mountain was incredibly powerful, it was impossible for them to assign a toad of Wen Tai's caliber to guard the entrance.
"The operation begins!"
Tang Ping announced loudly.
He didn't think he could silently break through Mystic Wood Mountain.
They might have already been discovered.
Even if Chubinmaru's hiding abilities were exceptional, with such a massive commotion, the enemy would surely notice unless they were dead toads.
Before launching their attack on Mystic Wood Mountain, they had prepared countless plans.
However, the most fundamental strategy was simple.
Kill!
Those who are not of our kind have different intentions.
Among the three sacred sites, only the Slug Sage was truly neutral; the other two sages were untrustworthy.
Especially Mystic Wood Mountain!
They had dared to meddle in the Otsutsuki family's affairs in the past and frequently interfered in the ninja world. Encouraging Jiraiya to search for the 'Prophesied Child' was part of their plan.
In the original storyline, it was because of their good relationship with Naruto that they enjoyed significant benefits.
But Tang Ping could not accept this behavior of wanting to be the mastermind.
Not to mention, he didn't want to have a 'father' figure above him.
So, even without the prophecy, he would have eventually gone to war with them, let alone the Toad Immortal's ability to make prophecies.
This alone was enough to seal their fate.
Buzz!
In the vibrating air, the warriors of the flight squad began to take off.
For this battle, the Heavenly Castle had brought an enormous amount of war supplies, enough for them to 'go all out.'
Even if Mystic Wood Mountain was powerful, this time, with their 'pay-to-win' strategy, they would still kneel.
Flight Squad!
In summary, they were extremely suitable for large-scale warfare, but the effect was not as impressive in small-scale battles.
Note that this refers to a 'normal' flight squad.
If they were wind style ninjas specializing in aerial combat, they could play a significant role in both large-scale battles and small-scale missions.
The Blazing Sun had a dedicated 'flight track' for short-distance takeoffs.
Although it was possible to take off from a regular flat surface, it was a bit troublesome, and it was much more convenient to take off from a prepared 'runway.'
And that's not all!
Thirty hovercrafts split into six groups and scattered in different directions.
Annihilation Battle! Of course, they had to set up a siege first.
Three ground-effect vehicles also quickly came to a stop.
There was only one reason for this.
The environment!
The winding terrain of Mystic Wood Mountain made it impossible for the ground-effect vehicles to advance.
Although they could briefly reach a height of several dozen or even a hundred meters, this duration was not long, so it was best to stop and use them as defensive fortresses.
Ribbit!
Countless toad croaks echoed all around.
Apparently, the presence of Tang Ping and the other 'outsiders' had triggered a full-scale response from Mystic Wood Mountain.
Every toad in Mystic Wood Mountain would attack them without hesitation.
It was as if an enemy had invaded Tonkyu, and the Golden Crows would instinctively attack them.
"Leave this to them; we'll go!"
Tang Ping glanced at the wave of toads rushing towards them like a tide but didn't pay it any mind. He jumped off the deck and charged forward.
Although Mystic Wood Mountain could be slowly conquered, the Toad Immortal had to be dealt with immediately.
So he had to execute a 'decapitation' strategy.
The battle had just begun, and the Great Toad Sage couldn't possibly escape, but if the situation turned unfavorable, the enemy might slip away.
Therefore, he couldn't wait for the situation to stabilize before dealing with them.
"Let's go!"
Uchiha Yae also took the lead, followed by a tidal wave of ninja troops.
Around five thousand ninjas were deployed in this battle.
Among them, the most elite four thousand would join the offensive.
They aimed to crush the toads head-on.
"Fire!"
Uchiha Hachida shouted orders from the Blazing Sun.
He didn't join the attack but stayed behind to command a thousand ninjas and protect the three ground-effect vehicles, ordering the use of artillery to clear the path for Tang Ping and his team.
Bang! Bang!
The cannons on the ground-effect vehicles roared.
Shells traced arcs in the sky, landing in front of Tang Ping's assault team.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The explosions and flames reverberated through the sky, tearing apart all the toads blocking their path.
The peaceful Mystic Wood Mountain was instantly engulfed in explosions and flames.
The entire Mystic Wood Mountain area was not small.
But even with its vast size, the commotion of the battle was loud enough for Fukaso and Chima, who had just returned to their residence, to hear it.
"Husband, it seems like something's happened?"
Chima, who was about to cook, was the first to notice.
"Could it be..."
Fukaso recalled the Great Toad Sage's words.
Without hesitation, he rushed out to gather the Mystic Wood Mountain's forces, preparing to eliminate the enemies.
Toads with various abilities began to assemble.
Even those of Wen Tai's level numbered nearly a dozen, and there were over a hundred toads of ten meters or more in size.
As for toads of several meters or even tens of meters tall, they were countless.
It could only be said that the accumulation of Mystic Wood Mountain over thousands of years was truly astonishing.
As the toads gathered, Tang Ping's team arrived.
The wave of toads blocking their path was first mowed down by artillery fire, and they couldn't stop this elite force of over four thousand ninjas.
It was known that a force of this size could even break through the five great ninja villages head-on.
Moreover, with strong leaders like Tang Ping at the forefront, it was simply terrifying.
Tang Ping also spotted the two Sages, Chima and Fukaso, standing amidst the countless toads.
Their gazes locked!
Clearly, they had already confirmed each other's identities.
Tang Ping didn't bother with pretense, directly flanked by Yai Left and Tsukikage Right, followed by Yamakage Hiroji, Izumi, Uchiha Shizuka, Uzumaki Kaizumi, and other powerful allies.
The scene and their imposing presence were awe-inspiring, and their status was evident without uttering a word.
"You've invaded Mystic Wood Mountain from the Heavenly Castle, do you intend to start a war?"
Fukaso glanced around, preparing to buy time.
After all, the longer the delay, the more forces they could gather.
Tang Ping had the same intention.
Because the thirty Kirov airships hadn't arrived yet, and he needed to buy some time.
Yes, those Kirov airships were not just simple aerial firepower platforms; they had an important mission this time.
"Haven't you been searching for me? I've come to you personally!"
Tang Ping also engaged in verbal sparring.
The two sides had been in a covert conflict for a while.
If they had found the precise location of Tonkyu, they might have made their move earlier.
Knowing the premise of the story, using Wen Tai to locate Mystic Wood Mountain was the decisive move.
Without this, finding Mystic Wood Mountain would have been impossible.
"Mystic Wood Mountain is an ally of Konoha, aren't you afraid of the Hokage's blame?"
Fukaso seemed to ignore the distant explosions, directly bringing up Konoha as a shield.
"So what?"
Tang Ping looked at them with disdain.
One must rely on themselves! No matter how good the relationship between Mystic Wood Mountain and Konoha was, today they could only rely on themselves to overcome this challenge.
Suddenly, a smile appeared on Tang Ping's face.
Because what he had been waiting for had arrived.
