Uchiha's personal opinion

Deep inside the cave, Sarutobi Shinnosuke, his face grim, coldly watched a group of ninja frogs setting up a barrier in front of him.

Every time he saw these ninja toads, he was reminded of the first words that the hideous giant toad said to him when he first went to Mount Myōboku to meet the Toad Sage after repeatedly pleading with Jiraiya:

"Your soul is too twisted and wicked. Don't let Jiraiya bring you to this sacred place again!"

Then, he was thrown back to the ninja world in a daze.

Although Jiraiya later comforted him many times, saying that the Toad Sage was a bit senile and hoped that he wouldn't take offense, the humiliation the Toad Sage had caused him was deeply engraved in his mind. However, on the surface, he still smiled and told Jiraiya that it was nothing.

But how could it be unrelated!

He is Sarutobi Shinnosuke!

The son of the former Hokage of Konoha!

A highly respected captain of the Dark Guard!

Apart from those arrogant Uchiha, who else in Konoha would dare to be disrespectful to him!

Moreover, in addition to his own strength, during the Cloud Village conquest, Sarutobi Shinnosuke also obtained a chakra tentacle of the Eight-Tails Gyūki and sealed it in his body, making himself an incomplete "half-Jinchūriki". Furthermore, he has been able to fully control the power of the Eight-Tails' chakra!

Why should we look down on him when he's just a secluded place where oddballs gather?

From that point on, Sarutobi Shinnosuke's perception of Greninja changed completely, and he no longer hesitated to use Greninja.

The barrier set up this time was intended to summon a large number of Greninja frogs from Mount Myōboku in order to launch a massive attack on the United Corporation.

"The best outcome for the villains of the Uchiha clan and the outcasts of Mount Myōboku is for them to both suffer heavy losses!"

"That's what Sarutobi Shinnosuke thought to himself, his face expressionless."

"No abnormalities found, requesting a shift change..."

A lazy voice, amplified by a wind-style technique, reached Shinnosuke Sarutobi's ears from the direction of the cave entrance.

"I agree to the shift change!"

"Shinnosuke Sarutobi said coldly."

Furthermore, the intelligent, talking ninja frogs of Mount Myōboku are incredibly negligent in their attitude towards him! They show absolutely no awareness of their role as summoning beasts!

As a summoner of spirit contracts, Jiraiya sometimes has to curry favor with these outcasts, which is the behavior that Sarutobi Shinsuke finds most despicable!

"What a disgrace... I don't know why Father took on such a student!"

Thinking about this, Sarutobi Shinnosuke inwardly grumbled.

A person's perspective on things is always filtered through their own lens, based on their own standpoint.

Ever since he developed a deep dislike for the Greninja of Mount Myōboku because of a remark made by the Toad Master, Sarutobi Shinnosuke has become increasingly disgusted with these lazy and arrogant Greninja!

Sometimes, I would compare the Greninja frogs to my own contracted Enma, and the conclusion was that the Enma clan was superior in every way! The Greninja frogs of Mount Myōboku were the scum of the ninja world!

While the Greninja frogs of Mount Myōboku are an anomaly, a small number of intelligent Greninja frogs actually possess very keen senses.

Especially their hostility towards others.

Although Sarutobi Shinnosuke thought he had concealed it very well, his increasingly impatient tone still annoyed the Greninja frogs.

—How dare a remnant of a clan that can only seek help from the prestigious Mount Myōboku lineage for revenge harbor resentment towards the Holy Land Greninja? It's utterly absurd and ignorant!

The Greninja's mindset led them to treat Sarutobi Shinnosuke with even more indifference and contempt.

This has created a vicious cycle in the relationship between the two sides.

"Shift change complete..."

A group of ninja frogs swaggered in from the cave entrance and said in a very casual manner.

"Did you find anything unusual?"

Sarutobi Shinnosuke asked, frowning.

"no!"

The leader of the Greninjas casually remarked, "If I had, would I not have reported it? Do you think everyone would want you to do this..."

Although Greninja suddenly stopped talking, Shinnosuke Sarutobi's face had turned ashen.

"Humph!"

Sarutobi Shinnosuke snorted and turned to look at the ninja frogs who were setting up a barrier.

"Jiraiya is really aging prematurely, actually making us take orders from someone like that..."

The Greninja frogs, having finished their shift, murmured as they entered their resting caves.

Chapter 332 The Frog of Disorganization

"Smack!"

A ninja frog couldn't resist sticking out its tongue and catching an insect flying above its head, which it then put back into its mouth.

"The insects in the ninja world are quite good... They have a slightly spicy taste and a bit of chewiness, which is quite different from the insects of Mount Myōboku. They have a unique flavor..."

After violating the sentry rules set by Sarutobi Shinnosuke by hunting insects, this ninja frog couldn't help but discuss it with its companions.

"I really dislike this kind of dirty food, and the natural energy content in the air is too low; it doesn't even have that sweet smell..."

The other Greninja frog grumbled in rebuttal.

"The air in the ninja world is so polluted that I feel like I have trouble breathing. I don't know why the Great Sage made us come here to fight those vicious ninjas."

"Since we're already here, we might as well try something new!"

The other Greninjas casually remarked something, and then they all followed suit, sticking out their tongues to catch and eat insects.

As for discipline, these Greninja frogs have long since forgotten about it.

"A bunch of rabble..."

The Eighth Hokage of Uchiha, who was lying in ambush in the distance awaiting reinforcements, listened to the Hyuga ninja's vivid description of the scene and couldn't help but scoff at the Ninja Frogs.

Unlike the disciplined ninja army that emphasizes obedience to orders, although the Greninjas of Mount Myōboku are very powerful, most of them spend their entire lives training in the peaceful Mount Myōboku, so they are far less disciplined and vigilant than ninjas.

After a series of swift and skillful maneuvers, the squad led by Uchiha Hachiho had gradually advanced to within one kilometer of the area controlled by the Ninja Frogs. However, the Ninja Frogs showed no signs of discovering the Konoha Ninja Army's presence. Instead, they became increasingly lazy and even began openly catching insects to eat for fun.

If this were during the brutal Ninja World War, no matter how strong the Ninja Frogs were, they would be surrounded and killed by ninja forces several times or even ten times their size once they were exposed.

"This is really interesting..."

The Eighth Hokage chuckled twice, the inexplicable tension in his heart completely dissipating.

"Hey! How much longer until the other detachments arrive?"

"About fifteen minutes left..."

The communications ninja estimated the time and replied.

"Notify them to prepare to simultaneously set up a sealing barrier!"

"This is what Uchiha Yatsuho instructed."

"As ordered!"

According to Chief Inspector Minato Namikaze's experience in clearing out the group, if you want to completely wipe out a group of monsters gathered together on Mount Myōboku, you must use sealing techniques to seal the space-time teleportation of the summoning technique and the earth-escape ninjutsu. Therefore, as the basic combat command unit, each branch of the counter-terrorism force is equipped with ninjas who can activate the sealing techniques of the Sealing Array and the Steel Earth Dharma Realm.

However, due to the distance and the obstruction of the rocks, the Hyuga ninja under Uchiha Hachimoku's command were unable to see what the situation was like inside the cave in the Boundary.

……

"Captain Yashiro..."

Nearly ten minutes later, Hyuga Hizashi, who worked in the anti-terrorism unit, also quietly arrived at Uchiha Yatsuho's position.

"Chief of Staff Hizashi~"

Uchiha Yatsuhoku was somewhat surprised, "Why are you personally joining the battle too?"

"Chief Shiina was a little worried, so he told me to come over as well."

Hinata Hizashi said.

He then rolled his eyes and began to observe the movements in the target's direction.

"There are 170 ninja frogs in the cave. Judging from their size, they are all at least Chunin level. There are also two with unusual appearances, probably direct descendants of the so-called Toad Sage..."

"A special toad breed possessing the legendary Sage Chakra?"

The Eighth Hokage of Uchiha also became interested.

"I couldn't quite figure it out, but it probably is..."

Hyuga Hizashi replied while writing down the information by hand.

"Captain, all reinforcement detachments have arrived at their designated positions."

The communications ninja reported to the leader in a low voice.

"—Communications ready!"

As soon as Uchiha gave the Eighth Hokage's order, the communications ninja immediately tensed up.

"Notify all departments to simultaneously activate the sealing formation at 12:15!"

"As ordered!"

The communications ninja immediately obeyed the order and began sending telegrams.

"All four reinforcement detachments are ready!"

After receiving replies from each department, the communications ninja immediately reported.

"very good!"

Uchiha casually offered a compliment, but in his mind, he started counting down the days.

"10, 9, 8—"

"...3, 2, 1!"

As the Eighth Hokage silently counted "1", ripples from the five sealing techniques spread out from different directions, enveloping the area where the ninja frogs gathered.

"Seal the Steel Earth Dharma Realm!"

Before the ninja frogs on guard at the cave entrance could react to the sudden chakra fluctuations, another sealing technique barrier was set up.
