Chapter 250: Invincible in Legion Battles

This world belongs to us; we never lose in legion battles.

Damn it, you bunch of monsters!

The demon army launched into fierce combat with the allied ninja forces; some ninja skilled in taijutsu could still gain a certain advantage in their clashes with the demons.

However, the demons are too numerous; each ninja must face dozens of hell hounds, hellfire, and other demons each time.

A large number of hell hounds began unleashing their abilities, burning the ninjas' chakra energy.

When a ninja runs out of chakra, it is the most tragic thing; once chakra is exhausted, the ninja loses all ability to resist.

The Body Flicker Technique, the Substitution Technique, and various evasion ninjutsu simply cannot be unleashed.

These ninja were instantly torn apart by the overwhelming demon legion, and the battlefield situation began to tilt decisively against them.

After countless allied ninja had their chakra completely burned away, they were immediately ripped to shreds by the demons that swarmed upon them.

The vicious legion demons gave these ninja a harsh lesson, teaching them what true war is and what a world‑scale war entails.

"Chief Commander, the situation, the situation is quite dire! Over on the allied forces' side, a bizarre summoned beast has suddenly appeared.

"They seem to be appearing in organized formations! It's as if they are endless—no matter how many we kill, we can't finish them off.

"Moreover, a strange‑looking red spirit beast can fire a green beam from its mouth that drains our chakra, causing our own chakra to ignite." The sensory ninja in charge of reporting at the General Command Headquarters turned grim.

The overall battlefield situation is quite dire; enemies blanket the sky and ground, and from the green sky occasionally crash down immensely powerful rock giants.

However, these rock giants are not the crux of the matter; they can be dealt with, merely a bit troublesome.

Furthermore, the allied ninja discovered that even if left alone, these green rock giants will naturally vanish after a while, turning into ordinary piles of stone.

What is truly nauseating are those red, dog‑like creatures that burn their own chakra; that is the most terrifying aspect of how ninja fight—relying on chakra energy. Without chakra, a ninja is merely stronger than an ordinary person in taijutsu.

At first, some ninja would take the high‑quality soldier's pills they carried to replenish stamina, hoping to restore chakra that way, but the red hell hounds seemed to smell the pills and rush over, burning the ninja's internal chakra at an even faster rate.

Ordinary ninja have no countermeasure, for these creatures can even attack from a distance—firing a green beam from tens of meters away that incinerates all of one's chakra.

In the world of Naruto, there are no wizards or mages to counter these demonic beings; facing unknown foes, they have virtually no resistance.

Yet the enemy's numbers are tens or even hundreds of times greater, because an endless demon army keeps pouring in, frenzied and relentless.

"Damn it! If that's the case, then let me personally go to the battlefield." The Fourth Raikage roared.

Before even laying eyes on Uchiha Ban himself, they suffered this heavy blow; the monsters that suddenly appeared attacked them like a flood or tsunami.

"Don't be rash, Fourth Raikage; even if we go to the battlefield, we may not be able to turn the tide. Moreover, the Third Tsuchikage said that if we simply fly into the sky and open a certain distance, we can block the enemy's chakra‑burning attack." Fifth Hokage Tsunade spoke.

Regarding the enemy's chakra‑burning power, the Fifth Kazekage and the Third Tsuchikage have already gauged the distance; now the Tsuchikage is using his Light‑Weight Rock Technique to help ninja capable of large‑scale ninjutsu take to the sky, then strike these demonic beings.

But such overwhelming numbers are also a problem; now it's just a matter of who will collapse first and withdraw from the battlefield.

In terms of individual strength, our side even holds a slight edge, but the monsters' numbers are simply too great.

"Raikage, Hokage, Mizukage—I think it's time to deploy the jinchuriki." Nara Shikaku adjusted his glasses and spoke.

The jinchuriki were originally prepared for large‑scale war; now that the enemy's numbers have reached this point, deploying the tailed beasts is the best option.

Especially the Eight‑Tails jinchuriki of Kumogakure—if deployed, it would be equivalent to an entire legion and would surely inflict massive damage on these creatures.

"What nonsense are you spouting? Their goal is to seize the two remaining jinchuriki we still hold; if they succeed, this war will be our defeat. Don't you remember what that guy said about the Moon Eye Plan?" The Fourth Raikage spoke.

Why have the Five Great Ninja Villages united this time, even some minor ones? Why have Grass Village and Long Village joined the fight? It is because the enemy's aim is to destroy the world and plunge everyone into a dream.

Once the enemy succeeds, this war will be a total loss for us.

"But the enemy's numbers are simply too great; if we keep fighting, our troops will soon run out of stamina." Nara Shikaku said.

Those seemingly endless monsters possess extraordinarily abnormal stamina; he observed that they appear to be a breed born for war.

Now, with the aid of Tuying, many ninja on our side have taken to the air, slightly recouping our disadvantage.

But if time drags on, once our side suffers severe stamina loss, the monsters' true strength will finally be unleashed.

Unable to rest and receiving no reinforcements, the allied ninja forces will surely collapse first. Therefore, the best course now is to deploy the remaining two jinchuriki, have them use the Tailed Beast Domain over a wide area to inflict damage on these monsters, buying time for the allied ninja so that the wounded can withdraw and recover their strength.

"I would rather go to the battlefield myself than risk sending out the last two jinchuriki."

"This is no time for willfulness, Fourth Raikage! I think it's time to deploy the jinchuriki." Tsunade spoke.

As a medical ninja, she sees the situation more clearly than anyone; although the allied ninja forces number a hundred thousand, they face an endless horde of monster troops.

Collapse is merely a matter of time; at this point, simply sending people forward can no longer make up for it.

We must adopt more effective measures; otherwise, their fate will be total annihilation of the entire army.

"Report! Lord Hokage, Lord Raikage is in trouble—two jinchuriki, two jinchuriki have slipped away privately and are now rushing toward the battlefield." A sensory ninja hurried in and said.

"What! Damn it, at a time like this there's actually chaos!" The Fourth Raikage flew into a rage.

"It seems we need to provoke them. Let's also go to the battlefield together, letting the ordinary allied ninja withdraw first to rest properly—at least securing them a night's rest." Tsunade spoke.

The allied ninja forces have been locked in fierce battle with those monsters for three full days and nights, and most ninja are utterly exhausted.

"If that's the case, then let's go! Let me personally go to the battlefield and give these guys a proper lesson." The Fourth Raikage spoke.

At the Allied Ninja Headquarters, aside from Fifth Mizukage Terumi Mei, who is going to protect the civilians...

Fourth Raikage A and Fifth Hokage Tsunade immediately rushed to meet the jinchuriki, then proceeded to the battlefield, issuing a retreat order to the allied ninja forces.

But by the time that order was conveyed, it was already too late.

"Who, who will come save me, save me ah!"

"Save me! Die! Die! You monsters!"

"Ah! Ah!"

"No! Don't kill me!"

Some people frenziedly slaughter enemies, only to be torn to pieces by the demons; others, in despair, are likewise ripped apart by the demons—these are the only two outcomes.

The terrifying demon sea tactic is now laid bare; Fifth Kazekage Gaara's Sand Burst Technique is indeed formidable.

He used this move to kill and wound large numbers of the cannon‑fodder demons of the burning legion.

But to the legion, these cannon‑fodder demons are merely a drop in the bucket.

At this moment, standing before Gaara was a tall figure with blue skin, octopus tentacles on its chin, and holding a golden war hammer—an Eredar demon.

"Hahaha! Futile resistance, like ants' dying struggle."

"However, your magic is quite amazing; you can serve the legion."

"Ha! Ha! You guys, what exactly are you monsters? Where is that guy Uchiha Madara?" Gaara said, panting.

"Ah! Wind Shadow, Lord Wind Shadow, save us! I, ah!" A ninja who had exhausted his last bit of chakra lay on the ground and cried out helplessly.

But what awaited him was the tearing bite of several Hell Hounds.

Gaara painfully closed his eyes; what a cruel war this is!

Around him, no living person could be seen; all the ninjas had died horribly at the demons' hands.

"Answer me: do you want to join the Burning Legion, or be destroyed by it?"

"You guys, you probably aren't subordinates of the Universe Wisdom Wave Class, right? Who exactly are you?" Gaara asked.

"You ask who I am? We are the Destroyer of Worlds, we are the Burning Legion! I am the Defiler Akemengde."

"Burning Legion! Destroyer of Worlds?"

He had never heard the name Burning Legion before; he could confirm that these guys were not helpers of Uchiha Madara.
