Naruto: I Confronted the Five Kage Before the System Arrived

Chapter 251: Super Shinra Tensei!

The three prominent toad brothers of the ninja world made their grand entrance.

Alongside them were numerous lesser-known but equally powerful toads.

Mount Myōboku's response was swift.

In a short span, Hagoromo Gengetsu looked again and saw his vision filled with a vast army of toads, varying in size and color.

This was the foundation of one of the three great sanctuaries.

In sheer numbers, the trained toads couldn't match the ninjas of the five great villages.

But their individual prowess, bolstered by senjutsu, far surpassed that of ordinary ninjas.

At this moment, under Hagoromo Gengetsu's gaze, the natural energy of Mount Myōboku surged violently, and the light of senjutsu shone more brilliantly than ever.

In contrast to the full strength of Mount Myōboku, he appeared particularly insignificant.

Many of the toads on the scene thought the same.

"Is he Hagoromo Gengetsu?"

"The one who was once on par with the First Hokage and Uchiha Madara, now revived?"

"Doesn't matter who he is! He killed Elder Gamaken and so many of our comrades; he must pay with his life!"

"Yes! The intruder must die!"

Mount Myōboku had been peaceful for over a thousand years, and this was the first time an external enemy had invaded, even killing many renowned toad masters.

Especially Gamaken, the Great Toad.

As the gatekeeper of Mount Myōboku for centuries, his immense size was such that even the likes of Gamabunta were mere morsels to him. His strength was unquestionable.

Many toads couldn't believe anyone in the ninja world could kill him.

Yet now, Gamaken lay breathless behind Hagoromo Gengetsu.

The toads felt both fear and immense anger towards Hagoromo Gengetsu.

They believed that no matter how strong the enemy, he would meet his end before the entirety of Mount Myōboku's strength.

"Overconfidence will cost many toads their lives."

Gamabunta, the most battle-experienced among them, frowned as he saw his companions looking so assured of victory.

If Jiraiya's information was accurate, this battle wouldn't be easy.

Thinking of this, Gamabunta stepped forward, ready to take command of the battlefield.

Meanwhile, as the focal point of Mount Myōboku's toads, Hagoromo Gengetsu glanced at the incoming toad army but soon shifted his attention elsewhere.

He gazed into the distance.

Using his Rinnegan, he sensed that the Nine-Tails' chakra wasn't approaching him as expected but instead moving deeper into Mount Myōboku.

In that direction, a peculiar power was interfering with his perception.

Soon, the Nine-Tails' chakra would vanish completely.

"Naruto wouldn't run away. So, the toads of Mount Myōboku must be hiding him?"

Hagoromo Gengetsu pondered with a slight frown.

Since entering Mount Myōboku and sensing Gamaken's attitude, he was surprised at their stance towards Naruto.

Even if Naruto was a summoner of Mount Myōboku, they wouldn't protect him to this extent.

Moreover, Naruto wasn't weak; in terms of strength, none of the toads present could match him.

A powerful ninja, and the child of prophecy in Mount Myōboku's prediction, should be on the battlefield with the toads against him, not retreating in the opposite direction.

Could it be that Mount Myōboku, lacking confidence against him, decided to sacrifice themselves to buy time for Naruto to escape?

Would these toads really be that selfless? For the child of prophecy and the future of the ninja world, sacrificing themselves?

Hagoromo Gengetsu found it hard to believe.

Though the Great Toad Sage had helped significantly in the battle against Kaguya, it had stayed in the shadows and never fought openly.

It was unreasonable to think the toads of Mount Myōboku would be so brave now, especially when he wasn't targeting them directly.

Hagoromo Gengetsu focused his gaze on the depths of Mount Myōboku.

Unsurprisingly, that should be where the Great Toad Sage resided.

Naruto was heading there.

With time running out and sensing the Nine-Tails' chakra about to vanish, Hagoromo Gengetsu decided to expedite his actions.

"Blame it on your unconventional moves."

Hagoromo Gengetsu coldly glanced at the toads, now methodically attacking him under Gamabunta's command.

Much like how Pain initially treated Konoha, Hagoromo Gengetsu hadn't intended to trouble Mount Myōboku much, just planning to find Naruto, defeat him, and leave.

Given Naruto's character, he should have been the first to rush here and confront him.

Instead, Naruto had retreated.

Thus, Hagoromo Gengetsu grew deeply wary of Mount Myōboku, which didn't match his expectations.

Though lacking Tsunade's convincing words, Mount Myōboku had the formidable Great Toad Sage, whom he feared.

A thousand-year-old being shouldn't be underestimated.

Especially one who had dared to participate in the battle against Kaguya and had lived for a millennium.

To avoid further complications in capturing the Nine-Tails.

That's it.

Having made his final decision, Hagoromo Gengetsu floated into the sky.

"Quick! Stop him!"

Though unsure of Hagoromo Gengetsu's intentions, Gamabunta felt intense unease.

He shouted to his companions, rapidly forming seals:

"Water Release: Iron Cannonball!"

Soon, large water bullets shot towards Hagoromo Gengetsu, despite the chakra consumption.

Seeing this, the other toads followed suit, despite not knowing the reason.

"Fire Release: Flame Bullet!"

"Wind Release: Vacuum Bullet!"

"Fire Release: Toad Oil Flame Bullet!"

Powerful ninjutsu aimed at Hagoromo Gengetsu.

But they were all absorbed by his sealing technique before reaching him.

With external chakra infusion and his own vast reserves, Hagoromo Gengetsu, now consuming more chakra than ever, prepared himself.

Against the blazing sun, he stood radiantly in the sky, overlooking the entire Mount Myōboku, including the area where Naruto had entered.

Hagoromo Gengetsu spread his arms slowly.

"Let's say something first."

He decided to pay homage to the classic.

So, Hagoromo Gengetsu activated his Rinnegan and said:

"Feel the pain."

In the next moment.

Massive chakra surged into his Rinnegan.

Super!

Shinra Tensei!
