"They have arrived..."
After a large number of Ryuchi Cave Giant Snakes appeared outside Mount Myoboku, the Great Toad Sage perceived the situation and informed Fukasaku Sage.
"So soon!"
Fukasaku Sage was shocked to hear the words of the Great Toad Sage. It had only been a little over twenty days, and they had just prepared...
Although Mount Myoboku is called the Summoning Sacred Land, there aren't many toads capable of battle. Only a few possess strength comparable to Bunta, with most of the others being much weaker.
Even if all the combat-capable toads are gathered, there are only about two hundred!
"Grand Elder?"
"Don't worry, Fukasaku. The barrier should hold a little longer. Stay by Little Jiraiya's side; if anything goes wrong, get him out of here..."
The Great Toad Sage said slowly with an aged voice, "Now, the one most capable of carrying on the legacy of Mount Myoboku is likely Little Jiraiya."
Fukasaku Sage responded with determination, "Don't worry, Grand Elder. I will do as you say."
On the outskirts of Mount Myoboku, Uchiha Yoichi's Rinnegan slowly surveyed the surroundings. When his clone visited last time, there was no barrier like this at Mount Myoboku. It had shrunk significantly compared to before; did they alter it within less than a month?
Uchiha Yoichi reached out his hand, and the Truth-Seeking Orb Short Blade, buried deep underground, burst out of the soil. After returning to Uchiha Yoichi's side, it transformed back into a black sphere Truth-Seeking Orb, and then merged into Uchiha Yoichi's body.
"Satomi, break this barrier."
Uchiha Yoichi spoke, intending to give Hyuga Satomi a chance to prove herself since he had brought her along. Besides, she hadn't really demonstrated her skills after acquiring the Tenseigan. Today would be an occasion to boost her reputation.
"Okay, Teacher Yoichi."
Hyuga Satomi smiled sweetly like an obedient girl, putting her hands together. A tsunami-like surge of Chakra erupted from her body, forming a pale green Chakra Armor that covered her body.
The Sage Jade Feather Robe also appeared on her, along with the nine Truth-Seeking Orbs behind her.
Hyuga Satomi then flew into the air, raising her right hand, and in the next moment, six Truth-Seeking Orbs gathered into her hand.
In an instant, the Truth-Seeking Orbs emitted a brilliant golden pillar of light, slicing through the sky as if to pierce the heavens, secured in Hyuga Satomi's grip.
"Golden Wheel Rebirth Burst!"
Hyuga Satomi shouted gracefully, wielding the dazzling golden pillar, swung it down fiercely at Mount Myoboku's barrier!
Whiz!
The extremely bright golden pillar of light descended suddenly. Upon contact with Mount Myoboku's barrier, it sliced through effortlessly as if a sharp knife tearing paper.
Rumble rumble rumble...
After tearing through Mount Myoboku's barrier, the dazzling golden pillar of light split the tallest mountain within it into rubble. The Golden Wheel Rebirth Burst continued forward unstoppably, turning everything in its path to ash.
Finally, the golden pillar halted before the barrier, creating a deep abyss that stretched for thousands of meters, dividing Mount Myoboku into two parts.
This strike frightened Manda and the other Ryuchi Cave Giant Snakes into curling up. Even Ichikishimahime, the Three Great Snake Princesses, and the other Konoha Ninja watched Hyuga Satomi in shock.
Though they knew Hyuga Satomi was Uchiha Yoichi's disciple, no one had imagined her to be this powerful. The commotion just now was akin to a natural disaster.
"Teacher Yoichi~"
After completing the task, Hyuga Satomi came to Uchiha Yoichi's side, flashing a sweet smile, looking like the obedient student again.
"Well done."
Uchiha Yoichi praised her, then looked at the shattered and vanished Mount Myoboku barrier and said, "Time to feast!"
Manda and Shinga could hardly wait anymore. The two snakes slithered forward, hissing loudly, "Charge, today is a feast day!!"
The other Ryuchi Cave Giant Snakes also excitedly hissed in their serpentine manner and then twisted their massive bodies, crawling towards Mount Myoboku!
Having been hungry for nearly a month, they were already famished. Were it not for the snakes' slight intelligence and the presence of the Three Great Snake Princesses, some of the more vicious Ryuchi Cave Giant Snakes might have attacked people or each other.
"Hiss hiss hiss~~!!"
Three hundred Ryuchi Cave Giant Snakes couldn't wait to crawl into Mount Myoboku. Today was their feast.
Upon seeing this, the other Konoha Ninja felt a bit afraid, but fortunately, the Ryuchi Cave Giant Snakes were on their side.
"Let's follow them, and remember your task!"
A captain from a Konoha Ninja Squad instructed his team members. Their task was to ensure the Ryuchi Cave Giant Snakes could consume the toads smoothly and to support with Ninjutsu when needed.
The rest of their task was to ensure no toads from Mount Myoboku could escape.
"Roar~!"
Gates turned its head and roared at Uchiha Yoichi. It wasn't interested in eating toads but wanted to see the many powerful creatures inside Mount Myoboku.
Hearing Gates, Uchiha Yoichi waved his hand and said, "Go ahead, go meet those toads."
"Roar!"
Gates let out a roar, then revealed its majestic Earth Bear King form, which shook the ground with each step towards Mount Myoboku.
"I never thought this bear was such a powerful Summoned Beast. Its strength is immense..."
Tagorihime said in surprise. They had visited Uchiha Yoichi's home and knew the lazy bear, but at the time thought Gates was just a brown bear that could understand speech.
