Chapter 974: Scorching Sun Army: Weigh Anchor and Set Sail!
Chapter 974: Scorching Sun Army: Weigh Anchor and Set Sail!
No!
To be precise, it's their turn to make a move.
The agreement with the Allied Forces was that they would not act until the Allied Forces failed to stop the birth of the Jinchuuriki.
But now that the Ten-Tails has appeared, it means the Allied Forces have failed.
With the Ten-Tails, the Jinchuuriki's birth is a piece of cake, so it's reasonable for him to make his move.
Furthermore, by acting now, he can force the Six Paths to reveal some of their hidden cards and also push Obito and Tomoe into direct conflict.
In the original storyline, both Obito and Tomoe became Jinchuuriki of the Ten-Tails.
But Douhei didn't want to go through all that trouble.
He decided to give Tomoe the opportunity to make his move against Obito ahead of time.
On the Allied Forces' side, Senju Hashirama is already an enemy, and the Second, Third, and Fourth Hokage would never appear. Under these circumstances, they couldn't afford to give Obito a chance to turn the tables.
If they gave him the opportunity, who knows what might happen.
However, with Tomoe as the Jinchuuriki of the Ten-Tails, it's a different story.
With Kurogane's presence, Tomoe is destined to become a sacrifice to Kaguya, the 'First Foolishly Naive Ninja of the Ninja World'. Therefore, there are fewer variables to consider.
The fewer variables, the better it is for Douhei.
To achieve this, he needs to force the Six Paths to reveal their hand and reduce the variables.
Of course.
Neither he nor Hyuga Aozuki could personally enter the fray.
That would be too overpowered.
Both Douhei and Aozuki are capable of sweeping the battlefield, forcing the Six Paths to reveal themselves. So, they had to let others take the lead.
This is also an opportunity to settle scores with Akatsuki and the Allied Forces in one go.
Especially the Allied Forces! In a normal battle, dealing with these ninjas would require fighting each village individually, and the chances of victory are low.
They would run away!
But at this 'save the world' moment, they can't escape for the sake of the Ninja World. It's the perfect opportunity to settle things once and for all.
Finish them all off! Whether it's Akatsuki or the Allied Forces, today is the day for a thorough reckoning.
Douhei didn't want his future laid-back life to be filled with various troubles.
Especially with the 'Unburnable' transmission later on, the further away, the better. It's as if they were treating the Ninja World as a backdrop for the Great Log Wood family.
Once he rules the Ninja World, spiritual energy will increase, and Douhei will use it to replace the chakra system, avoiding the weakness he faces against the Great Log Wood family.
With the power to counter the Great Log Wood family, if they dare to step into the Ninja World, it will be their graveyard.
However, to better develop faith energy or spiritual energy, the prerequisite is to unify the Ninja World.
In other words, the Allied Forces' ninjas must die.
While it may not be necessary to eradicate them completely, at least half of them must be eliminated.
"Send the signal!"
Douhei gave the order to Uchiha Meika.
Meika nodded, glanced at the purple garden behind her, and the other party withdrew from the area where reality and illusion intertwined. She directly used the Miko's 'Spiritual Energy Signal' to transmit the command to the valley base hundreds of kilometers away.
Spiritual Energy Signal!
This is how the Mikos communicate with each other within the range of the three Sealing Tower.
Without the spiritual energy signal, it's impossible to communicate with other Mikos and receive spiritual energy feedback.
Therefore, the Mikos' range of activities heavily relies on the signal coverage of the Sealing Tower.
Scorching Sun Ship's Bridge!
A Miko in charge of communications suddenly spoke up.
"We've received the order to attack!"
With her words, the previously silent bridge became bustling with activity, and orders were swiftly issued.
"Weigh anchor and set sail!"
The remaining captain roared the command.
First, the air forces.
The fifty Kilov Airships, which had already been assembled and on standby, began to fly forward.
Then, the large airships followed behind.
After the air forces, the ground forces moved out.
The ground forces advanced alongside the ground-effect vehicles, and the passage had already been cleared. Even if there were obstacles, they could use their massive power to leap over them.
The supply, logistics, and medical units were all on the ground-effect vehicles.
As for the valley base?
They completely ignored it.
In this decisive battle, it was impossible to spare troops to defend their base.
Even if they were attacked, it wouldn't be a significant issue for them. If they lost it, they lost it.
As long as we win the final battle, all losses are worth it.
In this final battle, the worst-case scenario is sealing Kaguya and letting Hagoromo, the Six Paths Sage, escape.
The best outcome is to deal with both of them together.
Whether it's annihilation or sealing, that's another matter.
At this point, with his sheer strength, Tang Ping can crush the Ninja World, and he doesn't need to worry about anything else. He only needs to consider achieving the best result.
The Scorch Sun Army's entry naturally takes some time.
Even though the Kilov Airships are not slow, flying over a distance of hundreds of kilometers will still take several dozen minutes.
And this is the time left for the Allied Forces to perform and, in the process, despair.
In the original story, the Allied Forces had the First, Second, Third, Fourth Hokages, and Orochimaru as support, along with the two main protagonists, Sasuke and Naruto.
But now?
Not a single one of them is here.
All four Hokages and Orochimaru are absent.
The strongest among them, the First Hokage, has turned from an ally into an enemy. If it weren't for the Allied Forces also having reinforcements, this battle would be impossible to fight.
As for Sasuke?
He is currently an enemy.
Even if he's a double agent within Akatsuki, he won't genuinely help them, but that doesn't mean he'll assist the Allied Forces either.
The precondition is... that he hasn't gone crazy.
At this moment, someone is trying to make him lose his mind.
"Sasuke!"
Naruto shouted Sasuke's name from a distance, attempting to convince him to help using his Talk-no-Jutsu.
Even though Sasuke had just killed many Allied Forces members on the battlefield and even dealt a heavy blow to Daioku, Naruto believed he could persuade Sasuke.
Hmm... Daioku was able to recover so quickly.
This was not only due to medical ninjutsu but also the high-concentration 'healing potion' refined by Konoha.
With both working together, a 'medical miracle' occurred on Daioku, who was rescued by the Shadow Guard Squad led by Kurotsuchi and returned to the battle in less than an hour.
There was no other choice. If Daioku had a choice, he wouldn't have fought so desperately.
But he didn't have a choice! If Akatsuki completed the Moon Eye Plan, the Ninja World would be doomed.
Indeed, this is one of the most significant differences from the original story.
In the original story, during the Five Kage Summit, it was announced that Akatsuki would collect the Tailed Beasts to create the Ten-Tails, making all the Shinobi Villages feel pain and thus cherish peace.
But in this Ninja World, they directly mentioned the Moon Eye Plan.
The difference between the two is not minor.
Because if it were just the Ten-Tails, there would still be room for negotiation.
At worst, they could surrender to Akatsuki to survive; it's not impossible to consider as long as they can live.
But now, with the Moon Eye Plan revealed, both sides have no way out, and the change is indeed significant.
Anyway, if the Allied Forces don't want to fall into eternal slumber within the Genjutsu, they have no choice but to fight back with all their might.
Although Tang Ping doesn't know the reason, he is delighted to see this outcome.
Only by doing so can the Allied Forces be better dealt with, and this corrupt Ninja World can be purified.
However, before the Scorch Sun Army arrives, Obito must first find a way to deal with the Allied Forces' offense.
With less than ten thousand White Absolute remaining, they can't stop the Allied Forces, who are like hungry wolves.
Whether it's Xiao Nan's group or Dougu, they are all clearly watching the show, and even Senju Hashirama is slacking off.
Until he receives an order, Dougu will faithfully execute the Moon Eye Plan.
The problem is that at such close proximity, Tang Ping naturally has a way to contact him, directly ordering him to slack off and prepare for a backstab.
Creak!
Wooden monsters emerged from the Divine Tree, rushing towards the Allied Forces.
Obviously, this was a trump card.
There was a similar scene in the original story, but Tang Ping was sure that the strength and number of these monsters were superior.
In the original story, the new 'Team 7' easily break through the interception and reach the Divine Tree. Still, with the current number and strength, it would be impossible in the original context.
Each 'Wood Beast' has a strength equivalent to an Elite Jonin at the very least.
The key is their size!
Even the smallest Wood Beasts are over ten meters tall, and their attacks are all-encompassing.
And their numbers keep growing as they emerge from the Divine Tree.
The battle between the Allied Forces and the Divine Tree's guardians begins.
