The Witcher: The Journey to Transcendence from Marvel...

Chapter 420 Invasion

The once bustling Konoha Village now appears unusually deserted.

Apart from the ninjas who remained, all civilians, the elderly, women, and children were evacuated to safe areas.

The shops and stores on both sides of the street were all closed and locked, creating a desolate scene.

Privately, some people began to question Tsunade.

After all, things have been calm these past few days, and no large-scale ninja forces have been found along the border.

"Chirp~~" Suddenly, a high-pitched bird call broke the silence.

A genin on patrol subconsciously looked up, a strange feeling welling up inside him.

"Strange, there are no such birds in the Land of Fire," he muttered to himself.

The bird flew lower and lower, and its appearance gradually became clearer.

This bird has a wingspan of over ten meters, is enormous, and shows obvious signs of modification. Most strangely, its pupils are concentric rings.

"This is... a summoning beast!"

The genin reacted instantly, was greatly alarmed, and immediately sounded the alarm.

"Enemy attack!"

His voice echoed through the streets, sharp and urgent.

"The enemy is in the air!!"

Upon hearing the alarm, the other ninjas responded immediately. Instantly, the rooftop was filled with ninjas, their expressions tense and ready for battle.

"Intercept it!!"

The ninjas shouted in unison, but unfortunately, the strange bird flew too high and too far, and the ordinary ninjas' ninjutsu could not reach it in the air.

The strange bird seemed to sense the hostility of the ninjas below and was enraged.

It let out a sharp cry and swooped down like a cannonball towards Konoha Village.

Just when everyone thought it was going to attack, the strange bird quickly straightened its body, dropped a strange egg, and then flapped its wings and flew away.

The Konoha ninjas quickly dodged, and the egg crashed heavily onto a house with a dull thud.

"These are its eggs??"

A low-ranking ninja curiously examined the egg, his mind filled with doubt.

The next second, the egg began to glow, emitting a strange light.

"Oh no! Get out of the way!"

An experienced ninja shouted a warning, but it was too late.

"boom!!"

With a deafening roar, the light instantly transformed into a powerful explosion, killing everyone nearby and shattering houses, leaving behind a cloud of smoke and dust.

The strange bird in the sky didn't seem to be giving up. It swooped down again, this time dropping dozens of bombs at once.

Bombs rained down, instantly destroying a street, sending flames soaring into the sky, and screams echoing everywhere.

This strange bird was like a relentless bomber, constantly wreaking havoc on Konoha Village, and ordinary ninjas were simply unable to stop its attacks.

"Multiplication Technique!" At this critical moment, Akimichi Choza stepped forward.

He formed hand seals, and his body began to expand rapidly, transforming into a 10-meter-tall giant in the blink of an eye.

He spread his arms wide, like a majestic mountain, and shouted, "Come!"

This time, the strange bird aimed at Choza Akimichi and let out a piercing cry.

"Whoosh~"

It swooped down at high speed, cutting through the air and creating a gust of wind.

Akimichi Choza was not afraid at all. He stood firmly in place, and when the strange bird approached, he suddenly stretched out his hands and accurately pressed them against the bird's beak.

The immense impact caused his body to stagger backward, leaving two deep tracks on the ground as he crashed through dozens of buildings before finally coming to a stop.

Akimichi Choza assumed a horse stance, simultaneously exerting force with his legs, waist, and arms, his veins bulging, as if he had used all his strength to throw the strange bird away.

The strange bird crashed into a house like a shooting star.

"Bang!"

A plume of smoke rose instantly.

"Great, they've been taken down."

One of the ninjas shouted excitedly.

"Is this the enemy?"

A Hyuga clan ninja remained vigilant, frowning as he warned, "Watch out! There's someone in the smoke!!"

Sure enough, as the smoke gradually dissipated, Pain, dressed in a black robe with red clouds, stood quietly amidst the ruins.

They sensed the chakra around them but did not detect the Nine-Tails' chakra.

[Was he hidden in Mount Myoboku?]

Wes thought to himself, "If that's the case, then I'll destroy Konoha and force Naruto to appear."

"Spiritual communication!"

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

The beast, expressionless, pressed one hand to the ground and shouted loudly.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

With a series of loud bangs, four giant summoned beasts—the Split Dog, the Centipede, the Rhinoceros, and the Bull—were summoned in one go.

As soon as these four spirit beasts appeared, they began to wreak havoc on the surrounding environment. They were enormous and incredibly strong, and wherever they went, houses collapsed and streets were destroyed.

The attacks from the genin and chunin were like scratching an itch through a boot; they couldn't cause any real damage to them.

After all, most of the ninjutsu used by ninjas were designed to counter other ninjas and were not particularly effective against such large, powerful creatures.

"Destroy Konoha Village and force out the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki."

Wes coldly issued the order through Payne's body.

Upon hearing this, the Six Paths of Pain immediately dispersed.

Each of Payne has been enhanced by Wes and now possesses Kage-level strength.

Six Kage-level ninjas wreaked havoc in Konoha Village.

In a single encounter, hundreds of Konoha ninja perished like fragile ants under the fierce attacks of Pain and the giant summoning beast.

Blood splattered, screams echoed, and the entire Hidden Leaf Village was instantly shrouded in the shadow of death.

"Step back!"

Nara Shikaku was frantic with worry. Knowing the urgency of the situation, he shouted at the top of his lungs, "Genin and Chunin, all of you, retreat!!"

In such a battle, genin and chunin who remain would not only be ineffective but would also become a burden.

Against a Kage-level powerhouse with special abilities, only a highly skilled Jonin could effectively restrain them.

Although the genin and chunin were filled with resentment, they understood that obeying orders was the most important thing at this moment.

When they were leaving the battlefield, they carried their wounded comrades on their backs and quickly and orderly retreated to a safe area.

"Spiritual communication!"

At this critical moment, Tsunade quickly formed hand seals, and with a puff of smoke, a giant slug appeared before everyone's eyes.

This is a slug from the Wet Bone Forest; it has a large body and a slippery surface.

As soon as the slug appeared, it immediately sprayed acid at the troublesome split dog.

The acid, like a green torrent with a pungent odor, rushed toward the split dog at an extremely fast speed.

The split dog couldn't dodge in time and was instantly engulfed by the acid.

A hissing sound was heard as the body of the split dog rapidly corroded.

In just one encounter, this originally ferocious split dog gradually turned into a pool of blood under the corrosive effect of the acid.
