Uchiha's personal opinion

As soon as Uchiha Tokumitsu finished speaking, a long horn sounded outside the conference room.

Upon hearing this, everyone's spirits immediately lifted!

This is the vanguard of the surface fleet, which has arrived at the outskirts of Mount Myoboku!

"Let's go take a look together."

Uchiha Tokumitsu stood up and said, "After the extinction of the Greninja, Mount Myōboku may no longer be the magnificent place it is today!"

After leaving the flagship's conference room, Uchiha Tokumitsu saw the legendary Mount Myōboku for the first time.

In stark contrast to the desolate sea they were in, Mount Myōboku, shrouded in clouds and mist, resembled a fairyland. Even from a considerable distance, Uchiha Tokukō could sense the rich natural energy contained within it!

Perhaps the reason why this desolate land is so barren and lifeless is not only due to the influence of the ancient Otsutsuki tree, but also because the existence of Mount Myōboku has absorbed all life force!

Thinking of this, Uchiha Tokumitsu's killing intent grew even stronger!

"Notify all Jonin to assemble!"

Uchiha Tokumitsu said to Shisui, "I will personally arrange this battle!"

"As ordered!"

Uchiha Shisui immediately teleported to the communications tower to make a broadcast.

"Gentlemen, I hope you will all give it your all in the battle to come!"

Uchiha Tokumitsu turned around and spoke to Hatake Sakumo and the others.

"I respectfully obey Your Majesty's will!"

Everyone immediately responded in unison!

"...Lord Orochimaru."

Uchiha Tokumitsu turned his gaze to Orochimaru, "Let Ryuchi Cave test the waters first!"

"As ordered!"

Although he understood that this was a case of using the snakes of Ryuchi Cave as scapegoats, Orochimaru agreed without any qualms and instantly teleported to the bow of the vanguard fleet.

Chapter 484 The Tribulations of the Holy Land

"Ninja Art: Ten Thousand Snake Formation!"

After summoning Tashin-hime from Ryuchi Cave, Orochimaru, with the help of the snake princess, quickly formed hand seals, then stretched his neck and plunged into the seawater, spewing out countless venomous snakes from his mouth, almost covering the entire sea area, and under Tashin-hime's command, they swam towards Mount Myōboku!

The ninjas who witnessed the scene before them felt their scalps tingle and their hands and feet go cold!

Although the power of these venomous snakes is nothing to a ninja, but...

"This number is terrifying..."

One of the naval ninjas couldn't help but sigh, "Did Ryuchi Cave really lay bare all their resources?"

"They're nothing but trashy vipers without any intelligence or chakra!"

A well-informed Jonin scoffed at this.

But as Orochimaru continued to spew snakes, the venomous snakes that appeared grew larger and larger. Some of the giant snakes with chakra fluctuations were even thicker than Orochimaru's body. It was unclear how they were spewed out of his mouth!

"...They really emptied their pockets!"

This time, it was the Jonin's turn to be dumbfounded.

"Stop looking! Quickly combine the anti-magic rounds and incendiary rounds, or it will be too late for the rapid-fire cannons to fire!"

After a while, the Jonin who had come to his senses immediately urged his subordinates to continue the pre-battle preparations.

……

Uchiha Tokumitsu's overall deployment still follows the 'firepower advantage tactic' inherited from the Shogunate period—in short, continuous bombardment and clearing of the ground.

Of course, in addition, due to the increasingly high level of training of the ninja army, the Marine Corps and Strategic Support Force can now carry out 'infantry-artillery coordination' operations. This also means that the skills of the artillery-wielding ninjas have been greatly improved after being tempered by many wars - at least there will be no more blunders like pouring chakra shells on their own men.

Most notably, the Three-Tails Jinchuriki Yagura and the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki Kushina Uzumaki are accompanied by six shrunken Tailed Beasts, and these six Tailed Beasts even have Sharingan tomoe patterns in their eyes! This indicates that they are controlled by elite Uchiha ninjas.

As for the Two-Tails Matatabi, it squatted majestically beside Uchiha Tokumitsu, completely disdainful of those stubborn and unyielding tailed beast companions.

"His Majesty……"

Uchiha Shisui instantly appeared at the flagship's watchtower and bowed slightly to Uchiha Tokumitsu, saying, "The entire army is ready."

"it is good……"

Uchiha Tokumitsu nodded, and then Hatake Sakumo, Tsunade, Uchiha Fugaku and the others also bowed and walked out of the watchtower to their respective battle posts.

At this moment, as the horde of venomous snakes summoned by Orochimaru continued to surge into the mist surrounding Mount Myōboku, the once tranquil Mount Myōboku began to emanate a series of commotions, accompanied by a gentle breeze and the pervasive smell of blood.

Nearly ten minutes later, the fog around Mount Myōboku grew thicker, the stench of blood became stronger, and the noise subsided. Orochimaru also gradually stopped his 'human art' of constantly spitting out snakes.

"almost……"

Uchiha Tokumitsu nodded slightly to Shisui.

Then, with a command from the command tower, the main guns of twenty-four battleships and forty-nine cruisers opened fire simultaneously!

"boom!"

With a deafening roar, the warship was even pushed backward by the recoil of its main guns!

The sea where the fleet was located even saw waves!

Then, Mount Myoboku was transformed into a sea of ​​fire!

"Three main guns firing simultaneously!"

Uchiha Shisui issued another order based on the battle plan.

"BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!"

With repeated bombardments from the naval guns, the mist surrounding Mount Myōboku began to be completely obliterated by the surging chakra storm and explosive flames!

The ninja frogs, who had just finished fighting the ninja snakes and hadn't even had time to bandage their wounds, were engulfed in a sea of ​​fire!

……

"They're here..."

After hearing the loud explosions coming from the outside, the Toad Immortal in the palace opened his eyes and stepped down from his high seat with some difficulty.

Its mount, a toad, immediately hopped in front of the great immortal.

Sitting cross-legged on the back of his toad mount, the Great Toad Immortal slowly walked out of his palace.

This is also the first time its true form has left the high seat in the palace since the battle to seal Kaguya Otsutsuki.

And this also signifies that Mount Myōboku is about to face its demise...

"Great Immortal!"

Upon seeing the great sage emerge from his palace, the bewildered and terrified Greninja frogs all paid homage.

"Withdraw from the outer perimeter, there's no need to go any further..."

The voice of the Great Toad Sage echoed throughout Mount Myōboku: "All Greninja, disperse and enter the pit to await orders!"

The Greninjas immediately scattered under the leadership of the giant toads to avoid being wiped out by the incoming artillery fire.

"...I will live and die with the lineage of Mount Myōboku!"

As the Greninjas dispersed, the Great Toad Master muttered something under his breath.

This is both a declaration of one's will and a way to encourage oneself.

Although they were prepared beforehand, not everyone can calmly face the immense terror of life-or-death situations.

……

"Marine Corps, prepare for battle!"

With the continuous bombardment, the fog surrounding Mount Myoboku has been completely dispelled, and the defensive gnatours and pre-set traps have all been reduced to dust in the endless bombardment.

Under the orders of Hatake Sakumo and Minazuki Chino, the three marine brigades began their assault on the beach in light boats!

At the same time, the main and secondary guns of the warships began to spread deeper into the interior.

"Not bad..."

Uchiha Tokumitsu, inside the watchtower, was quite satisfied.

Putting aside the vast difference in individual combat strength, although his ninja army was at the level of World War I in his previous life in terms of both tactics and equipment technology, it was still more than enough to wipe out a bandit-level alien race.

"Kushina, it's your turn..."

Uchiha Tokumitsu personally issued the order through the intercom.

"Roger that!"

Kushina Uzumaki, brimming with energy, replied excitedly.

He then leaped onto the sea and rushed towards Mount Myōboku, while simultaneously releasing the Nine-Tails' chakra.

Yagura Karatachi followed suit and launched his Tailed Beast Charge!

Meanwhile, the other six tailed beasts, which were controlled by the Uchiha ninjas, began to condense tailed beast balls in their mouths!

"Your Excellency, we'll be fighting side by side again this time."

Uchiha Tokumitsu gently plucked a strand of Yotaka's chakra hair.

"Dejia beaver!"

The haughty big cat bared its teeth and growled, but it didn't object to Uchiha Tokumitsu's 'caress'.

Just as the Marine Corps brigade was about to beach itself, the Tailed Beast Balls from behind arrived first and slammed viciously into the devastated outer perimeter of Mount Myoboku!

A towering mushroom cloud rose from the ground.

The massive chakra shockwave even created tsunami-like waves. If the Marine Corps' assault boats hadn't been equipped with special wave-resistant equipment, they probably would have been swept into the sea by their own attack!

"Continue extending the artillery barrage!"

Uchiha Shiina urged.

As a result, the artillery bombardment became even more intense and fierce!
