# Chapter 1005: Seems Not As Strong As Oven?
"Uh... do we really have to get close to such a dangerous place?"
Jiraiya, whose injuries had recovered with Yin's help and who had slept for half a day to get his spirit and stamina into peak condition, gazed with a look of shock at the 'Gate of the Underworld' in the distance, which was still undergoing saturation artillery bombardment.
He didn't know where the World Government got so many cannonballs and cannon fire; it was too terrifying.
But the most terrifying thing was that they had already accepted the mission to go and set up a barrier jutsu.
"Didn't Vice Admiral Onigumo say that once we arrive, the cannon fire will naturally stop? We just need to focus on setting up the barrier jutsu. Also, the demons that emerge during this time will be intercepted and eliminated by their personnel."
Ōnoki said in a deep voice while floating in mid-air.
Around the two of them stood Rasa, Kitsuchi, Uchiha Fugaku, and eight ninja from the Uchiha Clan.
Among them, Jiraiya, Ōnoki, Kitsuchi, and Rasa were responsible for activating the Four Red Yang Formation.
Originally, this was an A-Rank barrier ninjutsu exclusive to Konoha.
However, among the Konoha ninja present whose chakra amount could reach Kage level, there were only Jiraiya and Uchiha Fugaku.
And Uchiha Fugaku needed to command his clansmen to activate the Uchiha Flame Formation.
Therefore, the Four Red Yang Formation could only be taught to Ōnoki, Kitsuchi, and Rasa.
Although Kitsuchi was just in his early twenties this year, his strength and chakra amount had definitely reached Kage level.
Whenever Ōnoki retired, he would have the ability to take over the mantle of the Tsuchikage.
It was a pity that Kitsuchi always felt he wasn't suited to be Tsuchikage, but was more suited to follow orders and charge into battle.
He was someone with a very clear understanding of himself.
"That's easy to say..."
Jiraiya muttered softly.
Whether it was the cannonballs flying overhead or the powerful, strangely capable demons that could appear at any moment, everything was full of uncertainty.
But he also knew he had to complete this mission.
For no other reason than to prevent the Ninja World and Konoha from continuing to be threatened by demons.
"Alright, since we're ready, let's get going."
"Young people, remember, this time is for the protection of our world!"
Ōnoki, as the oldest and most qualified Third Tsuchikage present, naturally took on the duty of 'Captain' and gave a declaration similar to a pre-battle encouragement.
"Oh!!!"
Jiraiya, Rasa, and the others were also cooperative, shouting in unison to agree.
"Move out!"
Ōnoki showed a satisfied smile.
The next second.
The whistling sound of rushing air was continuous around them.
All the ninja turned into blurry afterimages, rapidly sweeping towards the constantly rumbling 'Gate of the Underworld'.
This group of experts, who were all Jonin level in strength and uniformly Jonin rank, had truly astonishing speed.
What seemed like a distance of nearly ten kilometers was covered in no time, and they had already reached a point one kilometer away.
Here they met the Third Raikage 'A', Third Mizukage Fuuka Eiji, Terumi Clan Head Terumi Daichi, Hozuki Clan Head Hozuki Hozuki, and Kaguya Clan Head Taketori Kunio, who had arrived from the East Coast.
Speaking of Taketori Kunio, he did indeed possess the Shikotsumyaku bloodline limit.
However, the bone he manufactured, unlike other Kaguya clansmen who had awakened the bloodline limit, was quite ordinary in strength.
And Kimimaro, who would be born in the future, would be far stronger than them, both in the strength of his bone and the quantity of bone he could control within his body.
This was also why they both feared Kimimaro's talent and used him as a 'meat shield' on the battlefield.
"What are you doing here?"
As soon as Ōnoki saw Ay, he questioned him impolitely, "This old man doesn't remember you Cloud Hidden Village having any decent barrier ninjutsu!"
Jiraiya, Rasa, Fuuka Eiji, and the others' mouths twitched.
The poor relationship between Stone Hidden Village and Cloud Hidden Village was really troublesome.
Because they were neighbors, there were bloody conflicts almost every moment, whether openly or secretly. However, it was usually Cloud Hidden Village initiating the attack, and Stone Hidden Village counterattacking.
Of course, Konoha and Cloud Hidden Village also had a very bad relationship.
The Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, died at the hands of Cloud Hidden Village.
And Sunagakure had just recently suffered a sneak attack from Cloud Hidden Village.
Only Hidden Mist Village was relatively okay, possibly because there was a sea separating them, making it more difficult for Cloud Hidden Village to harass them.
"Tch, it seems getting older doesn't necessarily mean gaining more wisdom. When there's a chance, this old man will let you see the power of our 'Lightning Restraint Formation' and 'Lightning Dream Lightning Person'!"
Ay retorted sarcastically, causing Ōnoki to show anger on his face.
"You're just a junior, but your tone isn't small. Do you dare to take a Dust Release from this old man?!"
"Uh—"
Ay was instantly speechless.
Although he had initially grasped Armament Haki and the defense of the 'Lightning Release Armor', he still didn't dare to take a direct hit from Dust Release.
That thing was truly terrifying, almost indestructible!
Rasa, Fuuka Eiji, Terumi Daichi, and the others around them saw Ay's setback and smiled with pursed lips. Taketori Kunio even laughed heartily, completely disregarding the other party's darkened face.
It was clear how poor the reputation of this Third Raikage was in the Ninja World.
But honestly, if they really fought, no one present could defeat him.
After all, Ay had 'studied abroad' from the Titan World.
Cell Enhancement, Rokushiki Body Techniques, Armament Haki—these were enough to set his strength apart from other Kage-level ninja.
Although Ōnoki's Dust Release was powerful, it was only useful if it hit the person.
Moreover, he had to avoid Ay's attack, otherwise, even just one hit would be difficult for his fragile body to withstand.
He wondered what level Ay was currently considered in the Ninja World?
Just then, a rather serious voice suddenly came.
"It seems everyone is here. Let's cut the chatter and immediately head to the 'Gate of the Underworld'. Then, wait two minutes at a distance of five hundred meters from it. Once the cannon fire stops, our personnel, along with those from Hidden Mist Village and Cloud Hidden Village, will be responsible for intercepting the demons!"
Vice Admiral Dalmatian, nearly two and a half meters tall, strode over wearing a brown-yellow suit. The Black Justice Coat on his body swayed gently with his movements.
Behind him followed ten Conquerors walking with heavy steps.
However, the gaze of Ōnoki, Jiraiya, and the others unconsciously focused on another person.
Because this person's height was nearly five meters!
This was almost two stories high, coupled with his robust and muscular body.
Just standing there created a sense of oppression.
His orange-red hair was even styled into a 'clover' shape.
Paired with the crimson suit and Black Justice Coat on his body, it immediately gave off a sense of scorching heat.
It was none other than Charlotte Linlin's fourth son, Charlotte Oven!
However, he didn't seem to care about the assertive posture displayed by Vice Admiral Dalmatian, honestly staying one step behind.
Because Oven couldn't be bothered to argue with this person.
These officers from the Marines, even when facing colleagues of the same rank but with pirate origins, often showed a slightly superior attitude.
Although it wasn't explicitly stated, various details made it very clear.
Just like now, Vice Admiral Dalmatian considered himself the main figure and Oven secondary.
But the problem was, his strength didn't seem to be as strong as Oven's?
Of course, ninja like Ōnoki and Ay wouldn't understand these things.
They only thought that Vice Admiral Dalmatian, who was speaking, was stronger.
Therefore, they all nodded silently in response to his orders.
"Uh... do we really have to get close to such a dangerous place?"
