Konoha: I, Uchiha, am brimming with positive energy

Chapter 104 Beast King's Roar (Please Subscribe)

"It's a spirit beast, a black bear. Don't be afraid of it, kill it!"

A Sand Ninja shouted loudly, "There are many huge beasts in the ninja world, but it is not difficult for ninjas to kill such huge beasts. As long as several people cooperate, they can use explosive tags and ninjutsu to injure and bleed them."

With that size, they were easy targets; and this black bear was just loud, nothing to be afraid of!

"roar!"

A louder roar echoed throughout Kikyo City. The next second, a pale yellow light appeared on Geiz's body. This was his magic shield. Moreover, Geiz had just placed Mina on his back, and the magic shield was also to protect Mina.

After all, protecting Mina was an order it received from Uchiha Yoichi, and Uzumaki Mina often fed it delicious food.

"Gates, don't hurt the Konoha ninja."

Mina Uzumaki was worried that Gates might kill everyone around him if he got angry, so she quickly reminded him.

"roar!"

Gates responded with a low growl. It hadn't signed a soul contract with Uzumaki Nami, so it couldn't communicate, but it could understand what Mina was saying.

Bang!

Gates slammed his two enormous bear paws on the ground, and the next second a yellow halo appeared beneath him, rapidly spreading outwards.

"Ninja Techniques and Exercises"

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Ding ding ding!

Where the yellow aura spread, the Sand Ninjas were as if they were being crushed by a thousand-pound force, collapsing to the ground or onto the rooftops. Those who were on the ground even caused cracks in the ground.

The Sand Ninja standing on the rooftop stomped through the roof and fell to the ground with a thud.

The Konoha ninjas' eyes widened in surprise. They had no idea what was happening; the Sand Ninjas had suddenly fallen to the ground, their bodies covered in a faint yellow light.

"What, what's going on?"

Only a small number of Chunin and Jonin were affected, but even they felt excruciating pain all over their bodies, especially inside, while speaking.

The area within a kilometer radius has now been subjected to a tenfold gravity jutsu by Geiz, and the Sand Ninja now have to bear ten times the gravity they used to. If they used chakra, they could easily move something weighing over a thousand kilograms, but their internal organs have not been trained.

The heart, lungs, and digestive system all had to withstand ten times the previous gravity, which was the factor that overwhelmed the Sand Village ninja. Otherwise, they could have lifted very heavy things simply by circulating chakra in their limbs.

However, some Sand Ninja have found a trick to protect their entire bodies with chakra, which can also reduce the burden and damage caused by gravity; this is the same choice that Uchiha Yoichi made when he fought Geiz. The more areas protected by chakra, the less damage from gravity suppression.

"Damn it, don't underestimate the Sand Ninja."

puff!

A kunai struck, severing the throat of the Sand Ninja puppeteer.

The Konoha ninja looked at the Sand Village corpse with some confusion: "Why is this person moving so slowly?"

"Roar~!"

Another bear roar rang out, followed by sharp stone pillars suddenly appearing on the ground and hurtling towards the Sand Ninja. Some Sand Ninja jumped away in panic, but they were then struck by kunai, shuriken, and ninjutsu thrown by the Leaf Village ninja.

Under the influence of the gravity technique, the speed of the Sand Ninja has been greatly reduced. They can only maintain half of their previous speed, which is already the effect of using all their chakra.

As for those genin who could not stand up, they were directly pierced through the heart by the sharp points of the stone pillars and could not stand up at all.

"It's a summoning beast from a Jonin of the Uchiha clan! Counterattack! Kill these Sand Ninja!"

The Konoha ninjas quickly received the news, and then, taking advantage of their immunity to gravity, they swiftly attacked the approaching Sand ninjas.

Upon learning this information, the Sand Ninja immediately wanted to kill the conspicuous black bear first.

However, Gates' magical shield is not so easy to break. It can continuously replenish its power by standing on the ground, and there is also Mina Uzumaki on Gates' back.

Her Vajra Chain is practically an all-around ninjutsu; it can bind people, block ninjutsu, and is quite powerful.

Any Sand Ninja who tries to attack Geiz will be bound by Mina Uzumaki's Vajra Chains as soon as they get close, then thrown high into the air, and finally slapped down by Geiz's two huge bear paws as they fall.

Like blood gushing out in mid-air, even a Jonin would find it difficult to escape the attack of this man and bear.

With the addition of such a ferocious monster as Gates, the Konoha forces quickly eliminated all the Sand Ninja who had infiltrated the rear.

The Sand Village originally dispatched thirteen squads to infiltrate Kikyo Castle and kill all of Konoha's medical team, but they never expected that there would be such a terrifying monster in the medical team.

A Konoha ninja rushed over and asked, "Jonin Mina, the battle ahead is very intense. Could you send your summoning beast to help on the battlefield?"

Mina Uzumaki was in a bit of a predicament. She couldn't usually command Geiz, and even when she set off to ride him, it was because of Uchiha Yoichi's orders.

Moreover, Gates is usually very lazy. Even if Uchiha Yoichi wants Gates to train with him, he has to kick him a few times and say some threatening words before Gates will move.

"Gates, do you want some?"

Before Mina could finish speaking, Gates turned around to return. He wouldn't have attacked if the Sand Ninja hadn't jumped on his face.

However, after taking only two steps, Gates suddenly turned back around, looking fiercely at the outside of Kikyo Castle.

It suddenly sensed an equally ferocious monster outside, seemingly preparing to attack.

"roar!!"

Gates roared a warning, but then noticed that the energy outside Kikyo Castle was getting stronger, so it roared again and stood upright on its two feet.

"Gates, what's wrong?"

Mina asked in surprise, but Gates ignored her and continued to gather power, while his size gradually increased.

The two bear paws continuously gathered the power of the earth, and then the bear's mouth opened, forming a golden energy ball.

As the golden light intensified, Gates, sensing that the opponent's energy ball was about to be released, launched a preemptive attack!

Beastmaster's Roar!

boom!

After the golden energy blast shot out of Gates' mouth, the powerful shockwave crushed nearby houses. The shockwave also carved a deep crater in the path of the Beast King's Roar blast, destroying all the houses.

Outside Kikyo Castle, Shukaku, who had sent the two toads flying, had also prepared his Tailed Beast Ball and was launching it towards Kikyo Castle.

"Hahaha, humans, die! Die!"

However, after Shukaku launched its Tailed Beast Ball, it suddenly noticed a golden energy blast flying out from Kikyo Castle, which hit its Tailed Beast Ball perfectly.

The Tailed Beast Ball and the Beast King Roaring Bullet collided directly. After a brief stalemate, the golden and black energy balls emitted an extremely dazzling white light and a deafening roar.

The powerful shockwave and impact ripped the walls of Kikyo Castle away, and the explosion created a huge crater on the ground. Even the white clouds in the sky were blown away by the powerful wind generated by the explosion.

"asshole."

Shukaku, being closer, was directly thrown back by the impact of the Tailed Beast Ball and the Beast King Roaring Bomb, rolling twice on the ground.

As for Gamabunta and Gamaken, who were far away, they were slightly better off than Shukaku, but they still couldn't maintain the Summoning Jutsu. With a bang, a thick fog appeared, and the two toads dispelled the Summoning Jutsu and returned to Mt. Myoboku.

"Damn bastards, how dare you ambush your Lord Shukaku! And the old monk, how did you fall so quickly? You're all bastards!"

Shukaku kept cursing, but its massive body slowly turned into sand and then dissipated, finally revealing a gaunt figure emerging from the sand.

Upon seeing Shukaku disappear, the Sand Ninja in the distance rushed forward in two squads, protecting Bunpuku before taking him away immediately.

However, before leaving, the Sand Ninja fired a signal flare into the sky, and then headed back to the Sand Ninja camp without looking back.

This is their mission: once Shukaku disappears, they must immediately bring the Jinchuriki back, without worrying about anything else.

After the signal flare exploded in the air, the Sand Ninja in several other battlefields noticed it.

Rasa, who was fighting Jiraiya, also saw it and then sneered, saying, "Jiraiya, it seems that all the ninjas in your Konoha are going to die. That loud noise just now must have been a Tailed Beast Ball."

"If you don't want to all die here, summon your Konoha's Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, or get out of Kikyo Castle!"

Rasa also wanted to know whether Konoha's Nine-Tails Jinchuriki could actually fight, since he hadn't appeared during the Second Shinobi World War. It seemed like Konoha was going to keep the Jinchuriki hidden forever.

"Stop dreaming, Rasa!"

Jiraiya formed hand seals, and his hair rapidly grew longer and became as hard as steel, but the next second he was entangled by the gold dust controlled by Rasa.

The two of them would find it difficult to defeat each other. If Jiraiya were to summon the two great sages into Sage Mode, he could overpower Rasa. However, Rasa would certainly not give Jiraiya that much time, and there was simply no environment nearby that would allow Jiraiya to stall.

"That's enough for today. When the Sand Ninja attacks again, Kikyo Castle will be your burial ground."

After speaking, Rasa used a waterfall of gold dust to force Jiraiya back, then leaped backward and withdrew from the battlefield.

The signal flare had just been used to indicate that the Jinchuriki had been retrieved, and the huge explosion made Rasa believe that Shukaku had been taken away by the retrieval team after releasing the Tailed Beast Ball because Bunpuku's body couldn't withstand the Tailed Beast transformation.

However, since the Tailed Beast Balls have all been released, Konoha must have suffered considerable losses, and the Sand Village has already achieved its objective for today.

Chiyo, who was on another battlefield, also saw the signal flare of the Tailed Beast Retrieval Team, and she quickly led the other Sand Ninja out of the battlefield.

This time, Chiyo really showed her true skills—the Chikamatsu Ten Puppet Masters, an S-rank puppet technique that allows her to control ten sophisticated puppets simultaneously to fight the enemy.

These ten puppets are positioned in three groups of three. If Minato Namikaze tries to destroy one of them, he will be attacked by the other two puppets. Moreover, if Minato Namikaze attacks other Sand Ninjas, Chiyo will turn around and rush towards the Konoha Ninjas.

A new antidote has not yet been developed, and whoever is injured by these ten puppets will die. Minato Namikaze has no choice but to continue fighting and entangle Chiyo.

The other Sand Ninja achieved considerable success. When Konoha took stock after the Sand Ninja withdrew, they found that more than half of the dead ninja had been poisoned.

After the Sand Ninja retreated, Konoha quickly took stock of the casualties, redeployed its manpower, and had the medical team participate in the treatment.

"What? It's Uchiha Mina's summoning beast? That bear knocked away the One-Tailed Beast Ball?"

Jiraiya was shocked when he heard this. He rushed back in fear that something had happened to Kikyo Castle, but after hearing Nara Shikaku's report, he found that the damage to Kikyo Castle was much better than he had imagined.

However, the news about the bear truly shocked him. How could they be hiding such a powerful spirit beast without reporting it to the village?

But Jiraiya then thought of Gamabunta and Gamaken, wondering how they were doing.

"Spiritual communication!"

Jiraiya summoned a small toad and then asked, "Kosuke, how are Bunta and Ken?"

Kousuke Gamabunta said, "The injuries are severe; he probably won't be able to move for a month. Jiraiya, who are the boss and the others fighting?"

Jiraiya said somewhat apologetically, "It's the One-Tailed Beast!"

"Oh, it's that monster. No wonder Boss and Brother Jian were so badly injured. Alright, I'm going back now. If you want to summon Boss to fight, you'd better wait a month."

"I understand, Kosuke. Let Bunta and Ken get some rest."

After Jiraiya finished speaking, he saw Kosuke off.

"Shikaku, the One-Tailed Jinchuriki is injured?"

Nara Shikaku shook his head: "I don't know. At that time, we couldn't go forward to investigate. By the time we got there, the One-Tailed Jinchuriki had already been taken away."

"Lord Jiraiya, we cannot be certain that the One-Tailed Jinchuriki is injured. They may very well use another Jinchuriki in their next attack."

Jiraiya immediately felt a headache coming on. He knew that the Sand Village would definitely not give up using Jinchuriki, but the Konoha Jinchuriki could not be used. If the Nine-Tails was released, they might be the ones who died.

"How about we ask Uchiha Mina? If the Sand Village uses a Jinchuriki, should we send her summoning beast into battle?"

Jiraiya suggested, adding that he had just heard that Mina Uzumaki knew the Adamantine Sealing Technique, which was the best ninjutsu for dealing with Jinchuriki and Tailed Beasts.

Nara Shikaku nodded inwardly. He had wanted to say this for a while, but it would be better if Jiraiya-sama said it. He then asked, "So, who will try to persuade them?"

Jiraiya looked at Minato Namikaze. He was Kushina's boyfriend and should be quite familiar with Kushina's clan.

However, Minato Namikaze shook his head and said, "Jiraiya-sensei, I don't know her at all. I almost made Uchiha Mina and Kushina angry once, and we haven't spoken a word since."

"Fine, I'll go talk to them."

There's no reason to shirk contributing to the village.

Jiraiya made his decision, then turned to Nara Shikaku and said, "Shikaku, quickly count the number of people, arrange patrols, have the Earth Release ninjas repair the walls temporarily, and then set up a barrier. I'll give the village some information later."

"Understood, Jiraiya-sama."

Afterwards, Nara Shikaku went down to make arrangements. The number of casualties was roughly tallied. There were nearly a hundred casualties in just one night. Those who were injured could not go to the battlefield for a while and some even had to be sent back to the village to recuperate.

They lost about one-fifth of their forces in one night. Although they killed seventy or eighty Sand Ninja, the remaining ninja force was already too weak to handle the situation, and they had to ask the village for reinforcements.
