Chapter 996: The Toad Clan's Desperate Situation!
Chapter 996: The Toad Clan's Desperate Situation!
"Take this, mini Dongfang Missile!" shouted the puppeteer as he piloted the fighter jet and launched a missile at the vigilant giant toad.
Whoosh! A Dongfang missile, as thick as an egg and as long as an arm, descended like a divine sword of punishment. With the fighter jet's inertia, it accelerated to supersonic speeds, and the Wind Release jutsu wrapped around it further enhanced its velocity, causing it to surge uncontrollably.
Note that this is not an ordinary missile.
The missile's construction includes custom-made metal, wood, and bones, allowing the puppeteer to control it.
With multiple added functions, the missile can fly at hypersonic speeds, be remotely controlled from a distance, and possesses a terrifying armor-piercing ability.
The faint golden glow at the missile's tip, exuding an invincible aura, hinted at its formidable armor-piercing capabilities.
Of course, the reason it's called a 'missile' and not an arrow is that its true attack method is not solely armor-piercing.
The powerful armor-piercing ability is just a means to enhance the effectiveness of its actual attack.
Explosion!
That is the missile's true offensive capability.
The missile is filled with specially refined gunpowder and augmented with an inflammable agent.
With Dang Ping's expertise, creating such gunpowder was a straightforward task.
However, he had no intention of wasting his time on gunpowder production and opted for a more potent approach.
The Second Kazekage developed a ninjutsu-enhanced gunpowder.
By adding various special materials, the gunpowder's power far surpassed that of conventional types.
Aside from the intricate and costly refinement process, this gunpowder was nearly perfect.
In terms of power, a single Dongfang missile could easily rival several airstrike bombs.
However, with so many advantages, the production cost of the Dongfang missile is understandably high.
One hundred thousand Yangyu!
And this price doesn't even include research and development expenses. It's the cost after 'mass production,' and if produced in small quantities, a single missile might cost several million Yangyu, which isn't unreasonable.
Now, it's time for the Dongfang missile to prove its worth.
With its hypersonic speed and the puppeteer's trajectory adjustments, the missile struck the giant toad below without giving it a chance to react.
Poof! The missile instantly pierced through its flesh and blood.
The large toad's flesh was incredibly resilient.
However, when faced with the Dongfang missile, its sturdy flesh became as fragile as cardboard, allowing the missile to penetrate its body instantly.
Boom!
Amidst the terrifying explosion, flames engulfed and completely shattered the giant toad, consuming its flesh and blood.
The concentrated power was overwhelming!
The toad absorbed the full force of the missile's explosion, preventing it from affecting a larger area.
If the explosion hadn't been contained, a single Dongfang missile could have easily leveled an area of several thousand square meters.
Even a Tailed Beast, except for the Sanbi, would likely sustain injuries from such a Dongfang missile attack.
The most crucial aspect is its incredibly high flight speed and formidable defense-breaking capability, making evasion extremely difficult.
Each Raptor fighter jet carries only a few dozen missiles.
In other words, after expending a round of ammunition, the production cost alone amounts to several million Yangyu, and the procurement price exceeds ten million.
And for 300 jets, if they were to expend a full round of ammunition... Well, aside from Relia, other villages would find it financially impossible to use these missiles, even if they had the technology.
Because employing Dongfang missiles could lead to bankruptcy, even if a village were to emerge victorious.
But you get what you pay for.
Even a large toad, with its battlefield lethality comparable to a Kage-level ninja beast, is instantly defeated by the Dongfang missile.
High-frequency sound blades and Dongfang missiles are formidable weapons for fighter jets.
However, the Raptor fighter does have its drawbacks.
Aside from being expensive, it cannot perform 'bombing' missions.
Although the use of mini black rods as fuel saves space, allowing it to carry a significant weight, this is also why it can load several dozen Dongfang missiles.
These missiles, despite their light weight, still weigh nearly a hundred kilograms each, and several dozen together amount to several tons.
The ability to carry several tons of weight at Mach 5 speed is nothing short of miraculous. The internal structure, refined through numerous experiments and adjustments, leaves no room for additional cargo, hence the inability to perform bombing missions.
The Raptor fighter's sole objective is to dominate the skies and secure air superiority.
And it has effortlessly achieved this goal upon its debut.
The Allied Aerial Forces, once formidable, were swiftly overwhelmed by the fighter group.
Especially for Sasori, the Kage-level puppeteer, this was no simple task.
Kacha!
The originally bulky aircraft, several times larger than a standard fighter, suddenly split into a hundred red fighter jets, each several meters in size, leaving only Scorpion seated atop a circular platform of the same dimensions.
In Scorpion's hands, hundreds of chakra threads connected these red fighter jets.
Buzz!
These red fighters could also utilize high-frequency sound blades, and their solid construction made them incredibly sturdy.
Hundreds of red fighters circled around Scorpion, tearing everything in their path.
The efficiency was astonishing! It was as if they were one entity with a hundred hearts.
Glider fragments were shredded, flesh and blood pierced, and airships fell in droves.
If it were in fighter jet mode, it might need to shuttle back and forth.
But in this form, it could directly slaughter without wasting time.
Scorpion was not the type to show mercy; he was a ruthless killer.
His chaotic slaughter in the skies allowed the fighter squadron to clear the ground coalition's targets of interest.
Large summoned beasts, for instance, required the most attention.
On the battlefield, the larger the size, the greater the impact.
No one was error-free, and various factors were at play!
The appearance of the Toad Clan had already helped the Shinobi Alliance regain some ground.
But now, with the fighter group's pinpoint strikes, the Toad Clan suffered heavy losses.
Dongfang missiles pierced the massive bodies of these Biju, shattering them from within.
"Stop it!!"
Bunta, the new leader of the Toad Clan, who was in the midst of a swordfight, roared in anger.
However, the fighter pilots controlling the aircraft didn't listen to him and continued their targeted elimination.
It was understandable for Bunta to react this way.
This time, the entire Toad Clan had deployed their last reserves.
If these toads were lost, the entire Toad Clan would decline.
Having already lost Mount Myoboku, their sacred ground, if these toads perished, the Toad Clan would truly be finished.
If there were only one or two Raptor fighters, it wouldn't be a problem.
But with hundreds of them attacking simultaneously, the efficiency was incredibly high.
Soon, several Dongfang missiles were launched towards Bunta.
"Toad Short Sword Slash!"
A massive short sword slashed out, directly detonating the incoming missiles.
Boom! Boom!
Intense flames erupted at a distance from Bunta, but they couldn't harm him due to his significantly enhanced strength, now reaching the level of a 'Sage.'
Sage!
This was a level comparable to Shisaku and Shijima.
At this stage, not only could they manipulate natural energy, but they could also use Sage Jutsu, resulting in a qualitative change in their power.
It was this all-around enhancement that allowed Bunta to slice through Dongfang missiles.
However... Even with Bunta's rapid growth, he was destined to die today.
After all, in a decisive battle like today's, even a Sage, let alone a Great Toad Sage, would have to die again if resurrected.
"All of you, attack!"
The puppeteer who had just launched the Dongfang missiles used the internal communication system of the fighter jets to initiate an all-out assault.
If Bunta had been summoned through Summoning Jutsu, he could have dismissed the summon and left.
The issue was that the Toad Clan had come directly this time.
The advantage of this was an unlimited duration, and no one needed to expend chakra.
Otherwise, summoning large beasts would consume a significant amount of chakra.
The drawback, as mentioned before, was the inability to dismiss the summon.
To use Reverse Summoning Jutsu, there needed to be a 'Sacred Ground.'
The Toad Clan could previously use Reverse Summoning Jutsu for self-preservation, but it was naturally impossible now.
Therefore, whether it was Bunta or the Great Toads, they had no choice but to fight to the death.
And today, the Toad Clan would be completely erased from history.
As long as Shijima the Sage, Bunta, and this group of Great Toads were eliminated, the Toad Clan could be considered extinct, even with a considerable number of toads remaining.
"Over my dead body!"
Konoha would not stand idly by, and its ninjas unleashed their jutsu.
"Triple Rashomon!"
Jiraiya, who had rushed back upon seeing Bunta in danger, summoned this ultimate defensive summoning jutsu.
(The summoning contract was given to him by Orochimaru.)
However, just as the Triple Rashomon appeared, it was targeted by a terrifying weapon.
