Chapter 609: Unexpected Guests!
Chapter 609: Unexpected Guests!
An air of sorrow permeated the Mystic Wood Mountain.
Both sides engaged in a bloody battle responded accordingly.
Fukaso, Chima, Wen Tai, and other high-ranking toads of the Mystic Wood Mountain were filled with grief and anger.
They knew that the Toad Immortal had perished, and if not for this, the Toad Oil would not have been detonated after the "last words" were conveyed.
That Toad Oil was the most precious treasure of the Mystic Wood Mountain.
"Retreat!" Fukaso, who was fighting Uchiha Yae, shouted loudly.
If it were only for itself, it would have undoubtedly sought revenge for the Toad Immortal without hesitation.
However, as the matter involved the entire Toad Clan, it had to prioritize the clan's interests even in its anger, as it had been entrusted with the leadership by the dying Toad Immortal.
Previously, there was no opportunity to retreat.
But with the detonation of the Toad Oil, an area was completely flattened, and the five hovercrafts, which were the pillars of the barrier, were also destroyed.
With one of its pillars gone, the barrier naturally revealed a massive gap.
And a jutsu could be used.
Bang! At the cost of a powerful kick, Fukaso seized the opportunity to use an important ninjutsu.
"Reverse Summoning Technique!"
Indeed, with the barrier broken, this jutsu could now be used.
Fukaso immediately began summoning reinforcements without hesitation.
Normally, the Reverse Summoning Technique would involve sending a messenger toad to negotiate with the target before summoning.
But in an emergency, there was no time for such formalities, so Fukaso directly bypassed the preliminaries and summoned Jiraiya.
Jiraiya, being a contract holder of the Mystic Wood Mountain and their primary 'enforcer', would naturally provide support in such a situation.
However, it might take some time for Jiraiya to arrive after receiving the message.
"We won't let them escape!"
Uchiha Yae, witnessing Fukaso's use of the Reverse Summoning Technique, shouted loudly.
She, too, was filled with anger.
To block the toads from providing support, the Heavenly Castle ninjas had paid a heavy price, creating two 'seas of fire' using incendiary bombs to block the left and right, leaving only the passage behind them open.
Facing this relentless assault, the four thousand-strong Heavenly Castle Ninja Army held their ground...
No matter how strong or numerous the attackers were, not a single toad made it through their defenses to support the Toad Immortal.
Nearly a thousand ninjas became corpses, and most of the survivors were injured.
Blocking the frontal assault meant the ninjas lost their advantage of mobility, and the casualty rate became terrifying.
Fortunately, the aerial unit occasionally provided support with aerial bombs, and with the explosive tags in their hands, they barely managed to hold their ground.
Against large ninja beasts, taijutsu was utterly useless.
Unless one possessed the Eight Gates or Thunder Armor, attacks were largely ineffective, and the enemy's counterattacks could seriously injure or even kill ninjas.
Under normal circumstances, ninjas could easily dodge such attacks.
But to maintain the defensive line, the Heavenly Castle ninjas stood their ground, some even attaching explosive tags to their bodies, ready to...
It was not uncommon for ninjas to sacrifice themselves for their missions.
Moreover, the Heavenly Castle's use of the Blazing Sun Will united the ninjas, and the visible benefits and compensation further boosted their morale, making them fearless of sacrifice and even proud of it.
They knew that the better the Heavenly Castle developed, the more happiness it could bring to others, especially their families.
Tang Ping's Heavenly Castle did not follow the 'equal distribution' approach.
Ninjas held a higher status than ordinary people, which was evident in their preferential treatment and access to resources.
For example, valuable fruits, meats, and other supplies were first made available to ninjas, and only if they didn't purchase them all would the remaining items enter the market.
When these items reached the market, their prices skyrocketed, and the quantities available were meager.
Furthermore, the system ensured that ninjas did not oppress ordinary citizens.
Of course, ordinary people could also improve their status and treatment through various means.
Within this system, ninjas need not worry about their families.
Even if you die valiantly for the Heavenly Castle, your family will live happier lives and gain more respect.
Whether it's spiritual or material, Tang Ping is not stingy, and naturally, the loyalty of the Heavenly Castle ninjas skyrockets.
Especially in the Mist Hidden Village, under the brainwashing of the priestesses and the allure of benefits, they have long since transformed into the shape of the Heavenly Castle.
In the past, the Mist Ninjas had the highest number of rogue ninjas among the five major ninja villages.
After all, without the 'will' to unite the people, the benefits and treatment were so enticing that it became known as the 'Blood Mist Village'. It's no wonder they would flee.
But since the migration to the New Mist Hidden Village, the number of rogue ninjas hasn't even reached double digits.
And all of them are those who, due to lingering grudges, are unwilling to join the Heavenly Castle.
It can only be said that, in terms of winning over people's hearts, the Heavenly Castle is undoubtedly the strongest force.
It is precisely because of this loyalty that these ninjas are willing to fight to the death in the battle at Mystic Wood Mountain.
"Kill!"
Izumi takes the lead in attacking the large 'Mighty Toad' in front of her, which has a white and green pattern.
Whoosh! Her originally blood-red Triple Tomoe Rinnegan suddenly turns into a black, four-spoked windmill shape.
Mangekyo Sharingan!
Since Tang Ping's awakening, he has been giving special attention to this super genius, so her strength has been growing rapidly.
As his disciple, she does receive some additional benefits.
Her Byakugan Power has been increasing, and now it has reached the 'Overflow' stage.
Moreover, her Byakugan Power limit is even higher than that of Uchiha Yai.
Once her own eyes evolve into the Mangekyo Sharingan, her Byakugan Power will be even stronger than Uchiha Yai's.
It can only be said that this Uchiha, who died prematurely in the original storyline, now has the opportunity to showcase her innate talent.
With her current Byakugan Power, she can use Chizuru's Mangekyo Sharingan, and even if the quality of her Byakugan Power causes her to consume more, she can still withstand it, greatly enhancing her combat power.
She directly uses her Mangekyo Sharingan ability.
"Heavenly God's Radiance!"
When facing such a large-scale ninja beast, physical attacks will be significantly weakened.
However, in terms of spirit or soul, ninja beasts do not have an advantage.
The Mighty Toad's combat power is at the Kage level, but in terms of resistance to illusions, it is not much stronger than elite Jonin who have undergone specialized training.
At most, the natural energy nourishment makes its spiritual power more vast.
But when facing the exclusive illusion of the Mangekyo Sharingan, it is still instantly affected.
Blood flows from the corner of Izumi's eye! This is because she exerted too much force, and since it is not her own eyes, some damage occurred.
After being controlled by the illusion, she naturally easily takes care of this Mighty Toad.
At this moment, an 'uninvited guest' appears in the center of the battlefield.
He has a tall and robust physique, with long white hair reaching his waist, wearing a forehead protector with the character 'Oil' on it, a red outer robe, wooden clogs on his feet, and carrying a large scroll on his back.
Just by looking at his appearance, one can tell his identity.
Jiraiya!
"The hero from Konoha, the immortal of Mystic Wood Mountain..."
As soon as he appears, Jiraiya prepares to make a dramatic entrance like a character in a play.
Unfortunately, his actions come to a halt almost as soon as they begin.
Because he smells the scent of blood.
The blood-curdling smell is so intense that it's even stronger than what he experienced during the Great Shinobi War, causing him to survey the surroundings.
The battlefield is in ruins, littered with corpses and blood, with both ninja and Mystic Wood Mountain toads among the casualties. Almost everyone else is injured.
Even the immortal Fukasaku has numerous wounds on his body.
Of course, he also recognizes the attackers.
The Heavenly Castle!
This Konoha affiliate.
But he never expected that they would be able to fight their way here.
Because even he, if he wanted to come to Mystic Wood Mountain, could only do so through the Reverse Summoning Technique, but they have so many ninjas, a flying corps, hovercraft, and more, indicating that they fought their way here.
"...Why?"
Jiraiya looks at the figure before him, with a pair of red horns on his head, holding a Lightning Lightning Blade that emits sparks, and red and blue wings spread out behind him.
