Chapter 533 The Battle of Mount Myōboku (Part 1)
At this time, Mount Myoboku outside the temple was engulfed in war.
Thousands of Star Ninjas, dressed in blue-gray uniforms and wearing five-pointed star headbands, emerged from the waterfall wielding various weapons.
The toads that originally lived in this area had never seen humans before and were caught off guard.
However, Mianma was not one to exterminate them all; he mainly focused on capturing ordinary toads.
"Bai, Xuejian, you lead a thousand ninjas to clear the mountainous area from the east!" Menma stood on a toad statue and gave the order to the group.
"Yes, sir!" Bai and Xuejian immediately led away a thousand ninja soldiers and began a thorough cleanup and encirclement of the eastern side of Myoboku.
"Chino, Toshito, you will lead a thousand ninja soldiers and begin clearing the low-lying areas from the west," Menma ordered Chino and Toshito.
"Yes, sir!" The two bowed and accepted the order, then mustered a force of a thousand men and marched towards the low-lying basin of Mount Myōboku, where the largest toads lived.
Hazuki Murahashi, along with the medical ninjas, set up camp on the spot to receive the wounded and guard the captured toads.
The remaining thousand ninja, along with the core fighting force—Uchiha Hikaru, Uchiha Shisui, Hyuga Hizashi, Kisame Hoshigaki, Kakuzu, and others—stood behind Menma, each atop a stone statue, quietly awaiting orders.
Each of these attacking Star Ninjas was armed with a kunai.
Although it's called a "kunin gun," after several generations of iterations, it's actually no different from an ordinary rifle, complete with a long barrel, trigger, sight, stock, and magazine.
However, this kunai gun fires a simplified version of kunai, without the ring at the tail, and its size is also much smaller.
However, its power has been greatly increased.
"Damn it! Where did these humans come from?!" Some of the toads tried to resist after discovering the humans' intrusion.
Before long, more and more toads emerged from all over Mount Myōboku and began fighting with the Star Ninja.
There have even been giant toads that are up to ten meters tall.
The Star Ninja Army ninjas picked up their kunai guns and fired without even aiming.
One after another, kunai (Japanese projectiles) shot out from the gun muzzle, heading towards the giant toad opposite.
The tails of these kunai, originally intended for ninjas to grip, are now wrapped with explosive tags. When the kunai is fired, the explosive tags are also activated, and even if the kunai is blocked by these toads and scattered around, it will quickly explode.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Explosions echoed across the valleys and mountain ranges of Mount Myoboku.
Although the toads of Mount Myōboku possessed Sage Chakra, the Star Ninja Army's ninjas, operating in squads of three and equipped with numerous scientific ninja tools such as kunai, were tactically skilled and coordinated perfectly. Ordinary toads fighting individually were no match for the Star Ninja Army. Even groups of toads would quickly be overwhelmed by the Star Ninja's firepower, suffering heavy casualties in the dense kunai fire and continuous explosions.
"Damn humans!!!" A furious roar came from the mountains, echoing throughout Mount Myōboku.
Immediately afterwards, a red figure descended from the sky.
With a pipe dangling from his mouth and a giant short sword in his hand, Gamabunta sent more than a dozen Star Ninjas flying with a single swing.
"Big brother! I've come to wish you well!" A figure in blue landed in the valley basin, shattering the surrounding ground upon impact.
He wielded two giant ninja swords with an extremely wide killing range, instantly sending dozens of star ninjas flying.
On the toad statue beneath the waterfall, Kakuzu watched with great interest as two large toads were surrounded and attacked by the Star Ninja.
Curiosity gleamed in his blue eyes as he said to Ma, "Sir, let me go and meet them."
Mianma tilted his head slightly, glancing at Yanjiaodu out of the corner of his eye, and asked with some curiosity, "Does your secret technique work on toads?"
Kakuzu and his Earth Grudge Fear technique originated from Takigakure. They can extend their lifespan by stealing the hearts of others and gain their chakra and advanced ninjutsu.
It is similar to the "Oni-Garara Technique", except that it cannot steal the bloodline limit and secret techniques of others.
"That's why I wanted to give it a try," Kakuzu said in a hoarse voice from beneath his black mask.
Hikaru, Shisui, Hizashi, Kisame, and the others all looked at this guy.
Although they didn't have much interaction with Kakuzu, they had all heard of his reputation in the underworld and knew that he was the strongest bounty hunter before he joined Menma.
Moreover, it is said that he once fought against the First Hokage.
There aren't many things that can interest this guy.
"Go ahead." Menma simply nodded.
The next moment, Kakuzu vanished from the toad statue.
"Kisame, Hizashi, you two go help too." Seeing that the three toad brothers, the top fighters of Mount Myōboku, had made their appearance, Menma no longer held back.
"Yes, sir!" Kisame raised his hand and took down the great sword Samehada from behind him, already feeling Samehada's desire.
"Yes, sir." Hizashi also activated his Byakugan.
On the battlefield in the low-lying basin.
Just as Gamahiro repelled a wave of attacks from the Star Ninja Army and was preparing to press his advantage, several black tentacles suddenly emerged from the ground, wrapping around Gamahiro's hands and rendering him unable to move.
"What?!" Gamahiro exclaimed in surprise, because these thin, black tentacles gave him a lifeless feeling.
Wearing a long black robe with only his blue eyes showing, Kakuzu slowly emerged from the forest of plants and trees, and those black tentacles extended from his clothes.
"Second Brother!" A simple, honest voice called out, and a purple figure swung a giant iron fork and slammed it hard into the ground.
"Hmph!" Kakuzu stomped his foot and flew backward, while simultaneously forming hand seals.
"Earth Release·Earth Spear!"
Kakuzu's skin hardened and turned black, and he suddenly swung his right hand out.
Meanwhile, Gamaken's shield attack arrived.
Kakuzu's right fist slammed into Gamaken's shield, the massive impact sending both man and frog staggering backward.
"Hama Ken! Are you alright?" Hama asked Taihe Hama Guanglai, who had brought Hama Ken to his side.
"Hmm, I'm fine." Gamaken shook his head, looking at the little figure on the ground with a sullen expression.
The opponent easily blocked the double attack of his iron fork and shield.
"Hey, Kakuzu." Meanwhile, Kisame Hoshigaki, carrying the great sword Samehada, landed on a large leaf to Kakuzu's left.
The bandages covering Samehada were gradually loosening, revealing Samehada's ferocious form.
Seeing that Kakuzu seemed to be at a disadvantage, Kisame said, "These toads seem to be quite troublesome. Should we help you, senpai?"
As a man nearing ninety, Kakuzu naturally possesses a certain arrogance towards these younger generations.
"I can do it alone."
As soon as he finished speaking, another figure landed on a large leaf to Kakuzu's right; it was Hyuga Hizashi.
"The master has ordered the three of us to deal with the three toad brothers on the other side." Hizashi's Byakugan was activated, and he observed the source of Kakuzu's chakra. He seemed to see something, and his expression showed a slight surprise.
"Hmph." Upon hearing that it was Menma-sama's order, Kakuzu merely snorted and said, "Then one of you will go. When I use my ultimate move, you'd better not block my way, or you'll get blasted to smithereens."
Meanwhile, the three Gamabunta brothers on the opposite side were also lined up in a triangular formation, ready for battle.
