It will take two days to leave Mt. Myoboku and return to the Kingdom of Demons.

Although he stayed in Mt. Myoboku for less than a week, it was enough for Shiraishi to have a thorough understanding of the place other than the temple where he served the Great Toad Sage.

We also have a basic understanding of the number of large toads, medium-sized toads and adult-sized toads that Mt. Myoboku has.

Although the volume of the toads does not necessarily represent the strength of these toads, in most cases, the strength of the toads in Miaomu Mountain can be roughly judged from the size - the more powerful the toad, the larger the volume.

Shiraishi also made reference to the size of these toads and the energy contained in their bodies, their incomparable image and the strength of ninjas - that is, to distinguish the strength of these toads according to the standard genin, chunin and jounin.

However, even in a holy land that has been passed down for thousands of years, Shiraishi also noticed that there are only a very small number of toads who can freely control magic.

Most of them are made by refining natural energy and initially fusing it with the chakra in the body, resulting in relatively inferior senjutsu chakra.

This is related to your own qualifications.

Because the natural energy is too powerful, if you want to combine it with Zhonghe to form senjutsu chakra, the practitioner must have unparalleled powerful chakra.

Otherwise, once the magic chakra is refined, there will be uncontrollable risks, ranging from disability to death.

This is pretty much what Shiraishi expected.

Those ninjas who practice natural energy in the Kingdom of Ghosts are almost in the same situation.

Due to the influence of its own chakra amount, it is difficult to fuse natural energy and senjutsu chakra. Even if it is barely fused, the purity of senjutsu chakra is very low.

The toads of Myoboku Mountain are in a similar situation. The only toads who can freely control the senjutsu chakra are the Great Toad Sage, the two elders, and the great Toad of Iwajuku who guards the gate of Mount Myoboku.

The rest of the toads either used less pure magic chakra, or used huge natural energy to strengthen their bodies. Even so, it was enough to hurt Shiraishi.

A large toad, placed on the battlefield, is a powerful weapon to strangle the enemy. In the past, the reason why the Sannin was so famous on the battlefield was that large psychic beasts were the powerful capital they relied on to run rampant.

Plus a big toad fairy who doesn’t know the depth of things...

This war is not easy to fight.

…

"Is this the result of the investigation?"

In the conference room, Liuli and Ayane sat on the sofa and read the statistical data prepared by Shiraishi.

After scanning, they both frowned in unison. Apparently, the data obtained by Shiraishi after his investigation surprised them.

It's not because Myobokuyama is too weak, it's because it's too strong!

There are more than a dozen various large and giant toads.

There are countless medium-sized toads and adult-sized toads.

This is only the power revealed on the surface of Mt. Myoboku.

According to Shiraishi, the toad guards guarding the Great Toad Immortal in the temple are all the most elite toads in Mt. Myoboku. As for whether there is any hidden combat power in addition to these guards in the temple, it is not yet known...

Even with the strength shown, even if a ninja village from a big country were to forcefully attack, I'm afraid it wouldn't gain anything.

"According to statistics from previous ninja wars, the destructive power caused by a large psychic beast is equivalent to the sum of several to a dozen regular jounin. If there is no corresponding psychic beast, it will be difficult to block its actions

.”

Ayane tells the information she knows.

Regarding the combat power data of large psychic beasts on the battlefield, each ninja village has actually conducted detailed statistics.

It can be said that every major country's ninja village has experience in contracting between ninjas and large psychic beasts, so they know very well how gorgeous these psychic beasts are on the battlefield.

But there is an absolute gap between large psychic beasts and large psychic beasts.

For example, in the three major holy places, there is a difference in quality between the ordinary large psychic beasts that have cultivated chakra and the large psychic beasts in the holy places.

Even if they are the same size, the final result must be that the psychic beast in the Holy Land is stronger!

"If there are only a few of them, you can also use a strong attack to make them lose their combat effectiveness in the first place. But if there are more than a dozen or even more, once they wait for them to react, things will become very troublesome... You must have read that correctly.

?"

Liuli glanced at Baishi.

"The powerful and vigorous soul aura will not deceive me. Apart from the two immortals, the big toad of Yansu gives me the feeling that it is not a simple thing. It may be more troublesome than the two immortals.

"

Shiraishi nodded.

He is different from ordinary sentient ninjas. He judges the number of enemies from the soul level.

Unless it is a corpse without a soul, there is no way to bypass his perception.

"So, if we start a war, we will have to deal with a dozen or more large psychic beasts at the same time. But the most important thing is to deal with the leader of Miaomu Mountain. Can we figure out its strength?"

Liuli asked again.

"Only in terms of soul, he is stronger than the Uchiha Madara the three of us dealt with..."

Shiraishi had to tell Liuli this regrettable and troublesome news.

"But it's entering old age, right?"

Ayane asked back at this time.

"What we dealt with at the beginning was only Madara in his aging stage, and his strength was not in its prime. Even then, it was quite difficult."

Liuli answered on behalf of Baishi.

"In other words, is he stronger than Madara?"

"..."

Regarding this question, Shiraishi chose silence, closed his eyes and sighed.

Although we don't want to attack our own side, facing up to the enemy's power is also a way to protect ourselves.

If Shiraishi devotes all the efforts of the whole country, he is confident that he can take over Mt. Myoboku in one fell swoop.

But the reality is... It is impossible for the Kingdom of Demons to concentrate all its power on Mt. Myoboku.

The movements of Konoha and Sunagakure are also within the scope of consideration.

In the same way, the same is true for the neutral Iwagakure and Kumogakure. If these two villages see the internal weakness of the Demon Country, they may turn from neutrality to hostility at any time.

"Do you have any idea?"

Liuli asked.

Shiraishi opened his eyes and said: "It's not really a solution, as long as we can recruit a strong supporter. If one person can't eat, find another person to help."...

Although the results of the victory will be distributed and it is impossible for one person to take it all, this is a necessary approach in order to eliminate the threat of Miaomushan as soon as possible and prevent him from causing trouble at the critical moment.

"Mist Hidden Village?"

Ayane tilted her head.

"No, the relationship between Lost Cang and us cannot be made public yet. After all, I cannot guarantee that all the toads will be wiped out. Once the news is revealed, then the final stage of the plan... So, I want to find Nagato to cooperate.

"

Shiraishi expressed his inner thoughts.

Liuli and Ayane looked at each other, then turned their heads, lowered their heads, and seriously considered the pros and cons.

"What are you going to do to induce him to take action?"

Liuli asked.

Unlike previous situations, in previous transactions with Nagato, the Demon Country held a dominant position and could benefit from Nagato.

But this time the situation changed because they wanted something from Nagato. Therefore, Nagato would not be kind enough to solve this problem for the Kingdom of Ghosts without paying a certain price.

"We can only know this after we talk to him specifically, and it doesn't count even if I say it. So we will hold a high-level meeting tomorrow to inform all departments to prepare."

Going to war with Miaomu Mountain is no small matter.

Although it will not affect the survival of Yuguan Oni Country, if this war is lost, Oni Country will definitely fall into a passive situation, and it will quickly promote Myoboku Mountain and Konoha to form a united front.

Once the two are completely integrated and quickly enter a state of war, things will become extremely difficult.

You only get one chance, so you must seize it.

Before that, what Shiraishi has to do is to strengthen the defense of the Kingdom of Demons. Once the battle fails, the Kingdom of Demons will not be completely passive.

To seek defeat before fighting, be prepared for the worst in everything.

"Before the New Year, this matter must be finalized and the entire war process planned!"

Snowflakes are falling on the ruined city.

There is no one on the deserted street, but there are footprints.

The footprints were not left by humans, but by cats.

On this snowy street, there are cat footprints everywhere, and you can see cats of all kinds chasing and playing on the street, like a country of cats.

At the bottom of the city is a huge space created by humans.
