Konoha's Hextech Ninja

Knowing that Minato Namikaze was unwilling to take action against Mount Myōboku, Yagami Yoruichi did not force him and gave him the option to leave.

Upon hearing this, Minato Namikaze paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "Thank you for your understanding, Yoruichi. I'll go check on Naruto."

After saying that, Minato Namikaze immediately slipped away.

As long as you don't witness the destruction of Mount Myōboku, you can pretend you don't know anything about it.

To some extent, Minato Namikaze was also a ninja who was very good at deceiving himself.

Yagami Yoruichi didn't pay any attention. After glancing around and confirming that there were no living toads in the main hall, he flashed outside.

With the invasion of thousands of giant snakes from Ryuchi Cave, the entire Mount Myoboku has fallen into chaos.

Powerful toads like Gamabunta and Gamaken each have equally powerful adversaries, such as giant snakes like Manda and Shinja.

Although toads have a geographical advantage, they are biologically inferior to snakes, so the two are evenly matched.

The three most powerful toad sages were easily killed by Yagami Yoruichi, leaving only the giant toad Iwasu, whose size was comparable to a mountain, desperately fighting back against the three snake princesses' siege. Every time it made a move, it caused the earth to shake.

"This guy is really big."

As Yagami Yoruichi gazed at the enormous toad that blotted out the sky in the distance, the image of the Gedo Mazo involuntarily surfaced in her mind.

Judging solely from its size, the Giant Toad of the Rocks appears to be considerably larger than the Gedo Mazo.

However, in the Naruto world, physical size is not entirely equivalent to combat power.

Those with large physiques are usually quite powerful in combat.

However, being small in size does not necessarily mean being weak.

The giant toad of the Rocky Abode was many times larger than the Three Snake Princesses.

However, in terms of strength, she was only about the same as one of the Snake Princesses, and she was still at a disadvantage when faced with the three Snake Princesses working together.

Even its body showed signs of petrification due to the influence of the Three Snake Princess's Ryuchi Cave Sage Chakra.

After watching for a while, Yagami Yoruichi realized that she didn't need to take action; the Three Snake Princesses could handle the giant rock toad.

However, it will take a long time.

Its massive, mountain-like size alone contains an extremely vigorous life force.

Even if it pierces vital organs such as the skull or heart, it is difficult to kill it directly.

It's estimated that even if they fought for three days and three nights, the three Snake Princesses might not be able to wear down this giant toad.

It would be better to take matters into my own hands and speed up the process.

Thinking of this, Yagami Yoru clapped his hands together, a red mask appeared on his face, and he directly entered Sage Mode.

"Sage Art - Wood Release - Wild Growth!"

As Yagami Yoruichi unleashed her chakra, countless enormous vines, each over ten meters in diameter, rose from the ground and tightly bound the massive body of the Giant Toad Iwasuki.

The vines, empowered by Sage Mode chakra, became incredibly hard and resilient, forcefully burrowing into the rock-like flesh of the giant toad, frantically devouring its life force.

The giant toad let out a shrill scream and rolled around incessantly, trying to break free of the vines' hold.

However, the vines only tightened their grip, making it extremely difficult for the giant toad to breathe.

When the giant toad was entangled, the three snake princesses tacitly stopped their attack and retreated to Yagami Yoruichi's side, staring in disbelief at the scene before them.

In less than a minute, the life force of the giant toad was completely drained, leaving only a corpse the size of a mountain peak, almost turned to stone.

“This thing has a lot of Sage Chakra inside it, do you want to eat it?” Yagami Yoruichi turned to look at the Three Snake Princess and said, “If you don’t eat it, I’ll take the chakra away.”

While the amount of chakra possessed by the Giant Toad of Iwajuku was not as astonishing as that of the Great Toad Sage, it still reached the level of a Kage.

In terms of chakra reserves alone, he surpasses both Fukasaku and Shima, the two toad sages.

This chakra, mixed with immense natural energy, was undoubtedly the best tonic for the giant snakes of Ryuchi Cave.

Without the slightest hesitation, the three snake princesses immediately replied, "Of course! Are you sure you want to give us some? Then we won't be polite!"

"Go ahead and eat. You can eat as much as you want." Yagami Yoruichi waved his hand, indicating that the three snake princesses could do as they pleased.

With permission granted, the Three Snake Princess flew towards the Giant Toad without hesitation. However, instead of devouring the giant toad's petrified flesh, she cut a wound on its body and absorbed its chakra.

The so-called 'eating' does not refer to eating the corpse of the giant toad, but rather to consuming the chakra remaining in its corpse.

However, even if it's just about 'eating' chakra, given the size of the Giant Toad of the Rocky Cave and the enormous amount of chakra within it, it would take a long time for the three Snake Princesses to consume it all at once.

After observing for a while, Yagami Yoruichi did not wait any longer. She created clones to eliminate the remaining powerful toads in Mount Myōboku.

The strongest group of toads has been killed, and what remains are toads of Gamabunta's caliber, who, with their size and physique, barely possess Kage-level fighting power.

It's already considered pretty good by the standards of the ninja world, but even a single clone of Yagami Yoruichi could easily kill them.

In just over half an hour, Yagami Yoruichi wiped out all the toads with Kage-level strength or above.

Several giant toads, each tens of meters long, were swallowed by Wanshe, Xinya, and other large snakes, becoming their meals.

Yoruichi Yagami did not participate in the remaining battles.

He merely used his clones to keep an eye on the younger generation of Konoha ninjas, ensuring they wouldn't die in the toads' counterattack.

The battle lasted for a full day and night before it gradually came to an end.

Despite the assistance of the giant snake from Ryuchi Cave, only slightly more than half of the ninjas were able to complete the task of killing a toad over ten meters in size.

The vast majority of these tasks were accomplished in small teams.

The two with the best battle records are Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha.

The former relied on sheer numbers, and together with the giant snake of Ryuchi Cave, killed more than thirty large toads, each over ten meters long.

Uchiha Sasuke, on the other hand, was extremely ambitious. He joined the battle between a large blue snake and Gamabunta, and after fighting for a long time, he found an opportunity to deliver a fatal blow to Gamabunta.

This is a top-tier toad whose strength is no less than that of Gamabunta or Gamaken.

Although the main force in the battle was the Green Snake from Ryuchi Cave, it was already quite remarkable for Uchiha Sasuke to achieve such a crucial victory at this level of combat, considering his age.

"These two guys are much stronger than they were at the same time in the original work. They're almost at the level of the early Shippuden."

Yagami Yoruichi thought to himself, "The performance of the others was obviously much worse. Only Rock Lee, when he opened the Eight Gates, could barely get close to being a Jonin... The older ones actually performed worse than the Konoha 12. No wonder they are treated like the protagonists."

It must be said that, in terms of overall talent, this generation of the Twelve Konoha Youngsters is absolutely the best in the decades since the village was founded.

However, without any external help, relying solely on themselves, only a portion of them can ultimately become Jonin.

If we exclude the two main characters, Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha, the average level of the others is actually lower than that of Kakashi Hatake's generation.

But if you include the two main characters, then there's absolutely no comparison.

Ten thousand Jonin cannot match the deterrent power of a single Kage-level ninja.

Moreover, if the two main characters obtain their respective most important cheat codes, they will both be able to briefly obtain a 'Six Paths Level Experience Card'.

"Let's wait a few years and find a time to fully activate the chakra within them. Activating it now is too early; their bodies may not be able to handle it."

A thought flashed through Yagami Yoruichi's mind.

With his own strength, he could fully activate the chakra of Ashura and Indra, making it easy for them to enter the Six Paths level.

But the prerequisite is that their bodies must be able to withstand it.

This requires several years of training; it certainly can't withstand it now.

Putting aside her chaotic thoughts, Yagami Yoruichi gathered everyone together and said, "You all performed well, and your mission records have been recorded. Now I'm sending you back to Konoha. Don't leave the village for a while; in a few days, the village will announce something important."

Chapter 285 [Boundary Bow], [Yuenthal Wilderness Arrow]

The Land of Wind.

Three Susanoo figures, each over ten meters tall, swung their swords and slashed through the crowd. Their attacks, though seemingly simple, each slash took the lives of several Sand Ninja.

The Third Raikage, in Lightning Release Chakra Mode, charged into the Sand Ninja's ranks. With a Hell Thrust, all the Sand Ninja in a straight line were reduced to minced meat.

Ye Cang was surrounded by blazing fireballs, which he continuously threw into the crowd, causing terrifying explosions hundreds of meters in diameter.

The Second Tsuchikage's "Mu" Kekkei Tota Dust Release, the Second Mizukage Hozuki Gengetsu's Infinite Explosion Technique "Steam Explosion"...

One after another, the resurrected ninjas defeated Sunagakure, which had lost the Kazekage, Chiyo, and other top-tier ninjas.

When Yagami Yoruichi returned from Mount Myōboku and arrived at the front line, he saw that Sunagakure had been completely defeated, and the remaining ninjas were desperately fleeing, only to fall like wheat being harvested under the pursuit of the Edo Tensei army.

"What's going on?"

Yagami Yoruichi was stunned.

Originally, Yagami Yoruichi's order to Orochimaru was simply to cooperate with the Konoha ninjas to guard the border.

In just a few hours, these reanimated ninjas were almost at the Sunagakure stronghold.

However, considering the current strength of Sunagakure, it's not surprising.

Sunagakure was already facing a generational gap, with the older generation of strong members either defecting or dying.

Chiyo, Kazekage, and Gaara, the three remaining powerful fighters, were all detained by Yoruichi Yagami in Konoha Prison.

Ebizo, the only one who barely possessed Kage-level strength, was already old and his power had severely declined.

Even though his mastery of Wind Release was among the best in the ninja world, his remaining chakra and stamina were no longer sufficient to sustain a high-intensity battle.

And look at the kind of people Orochimaru resurrected using Edo Tensei.

The previous Kage of each village, Kage-level ninjas with special bloodline limits, previous Jinchuriki...

Not only are they all incredibly strong, but they are also ninjas with the ability to clear large areas of the field, and they are least afraid of being ganged up on.

In addition, the Impure World Reincarnation technique has the advantages of being immune to fatal injuries and having unlimited chakra.

If it's just one or two, the Sand Village might be able to seal them away if they work together.

But with more than a dozen of them coming at once, the Sand Village couldn't possibly withstand them with its limited strength, and their defeat was entirely expected.

Moreover, there are also the Mangekyou Sharingan users: Fugaku Uchiha, Shisui Uchiha, and Itachi Uchiha.

Although Konoha's ordinary ninjas did not participate in the battle, even Tsunade and several other Kage-level ninjas who came to the border of the Land of Wind did not join the battlefield, but merely observed from the sidelines.

But these three Susanoo alone are not something that Sunagakure can withstand at present.

This is the power of a tailed beast, and its specialty is efficiently slaughtering weak ordinary ninjas.

Without a powerful enough ninjutsu, it's impossible to even break through Susanoo's defenses, let alone launch a counterattack.
