Suddenly, a huge commotion arose from among the incredibly tall and strange plants. With a loud rustling sound, a giant Toad jumped out.
Gamabunta gazed into the distance, a hint of confusion on his face.
" Natural Energy is flowing in this direction, what exactly is happening?"
Even the two Toad Sage, Fukasaku and Toad Shima, could not possibly cause such a commotion when absorbing Natural Energy.
Therefore, Gamabunta never considered the possibility that someone was absorbing Natural Energy, and he found it very strange.
Unless it's Senjutsu being used, there shouldn't be such a commotion. And to use Senjutsu with such a commotion at Mount Myōboku is undoubtedly a major event.
"This commotion won't do; we have to go check it out."
Gamabunta revealed a hint of melancholy in a very human way. He first squatted down forcefully, and then suddenly exerted force with his two powerful hind legs.
Boom!!!
With a deafening roar, its enormous body leaped high into the air, like a mountain, and bounded toward the direction of the Natural Energy flow.
After jumping a few times, sensing that it was just ahead, Gamabunta didn't feel any danger, so he landed directly at the center of the Natural Energy flow.
Uya, who was waiting for Gamabunta to come looking for him, was surprised that the guy would jump over like that and land directly on her head.
The Shockwave Sensing had already detected Gamabunta's movements.
At this moment, a huge black shadow appeared above Uya's head. It was Gamabunta's enormous body, which fell down like a mountain, as if it would crush Uya into a meat patty.
Uya naturally had no intention of letting the Toad sit on his head, so he moved his feet and his figure suddenly flashed and disappeared.
Whoosh!!!
Uya was much faster than Gamabunta. Just as Gamabunta reached the sky and hadn't yet landed, Uya's figure suddenly flashed and appeared above Gamabunta's head.
"What?!"
Gamabunta sensed something above him and then spotted Uya.
Boom!!
Gamabunta's enormous body landed on the ground, causing a huge wave to rise and ripple in all directions.
Then, its pupils looked upwards, staring at Uya.
"A human ninja? Where did you come from?"
In an instant, Gamabunta was certain that Uya had not signed any contract with the Toad Clan of Mount Myōboku.
It was quite astonishing that such an outsider could navigate through the outer labyrinth of Mount Myōboku and get inside.
"They came in from outside."
Uya stood atop Gamabunta's head and answered calmly.
Hearing Uya's words, Gamabunta narrowed his eyes, very dissatisfied with Uya's answer. Even a ghost would know that he came in from outside, let alone that he was Toad, not a ghost.
"It seems you're not planning to confess honestly. Well then, let me arrest you first and interrogate you properly."
A dangerous glint appeared in Gamabunta's eyes. He was already a rather irritable Toad, and with Uya standing on his head, he was already furious.
It's almost a miracle that it has endured this long.
The next instant, Gamabunta suddenly exerted his strength, trying to jump up and throw Uya away.
But at that very moment, Uya's body was standing above his head when a strange force suddenly pressed down on him.
"What?!"
A look of horror flashed in Gamabunta's eyes.
boom!!
Gamabunta, who was about to jump up, not only failed to jump, but his whole body sank heavily and trembled violently, causing him to fall flat on the ground.
Uya stood there the whole time, without moving an inch, while Gamabunta was pinned to the ground and could not stand up no matter how much he struggled.
"This human..."
Gamabunta horrified. Since it had grown to maturity, and given its enormous size, how difficult it would be to subdue it.
But the human standing on its head didn't even make a move, yet it had already suppressed it to the point of being unable to move!
At this moment, Gamabunta finally discovered, or rather confirmed, that the surging Natural Energy was flowing towards Uya's body!
Without a doubt, this is Sage Mode!
Moreover, this Sage Mode doesn't seem to be the Sage Mode of Mount Myōboku.
"This is... Sage Mode! Where did you learn that?!"
Gamabunta lay on the ground, his body trembling and unable to move. He spoke to Uya, his tone tinged with apprehension.
However, this is Mount Myōboku after all. Although Uya is very strong and could suppress it in an instant, it is not afraid.
The commotion here must have been noticed; there are definitely a lot of Toad heading this way now.
"I created it myself."
Uya stood atop Gamabunta's head, not ignoring it, but calmly answering its question.
"Originally created?!"
Gamabunta was taken aback for a moment, then revealed an annoyed expression.
Uya's method of absorbing Natural Energy is so terrifying and violent; this Sage Mode seems to be even stronger than the Sage Mode of Mount Myōboku.
And Uya actually claims that this Sage Mode is his own creation?!
In Gamabunta, Uya was talking nonsense. Their Sage Mode of Mount Myōboku had been passed down for who knows how long, Uya, this human, was only a few years old!
"Damn human ninja, you think you can run rampant on Mount Myōboku just because you know Sage Mode?!"
Gamabunta finally lost his temper and roared angrily at Uya.
At the same time, it struggled to muster its strength to stand up, as it felt the trembling gradually subside.
laugh!!
In the next instant, Gamabunta drew his huge short sword from his waist and suddenly swung it horizontally at Uya, who was standing above him.
It's Toad, so it's difficult for Uya to attack from above. Trying to cut it down with a short sword would be dangerous and could easily hurt yourself.
However, its strike was perfectly executed, almost grazing the top of its own head as it slashed towards Uya's body.
The massive short sword carried a sharp gust of wind; even before the sword arrived, the wind howled, as if it would blow Uya away.
"Can't you feel the difference yet?"
Seeing Gamabunta's sword sweeping towards him, Uya shook his head, raised his hand, bent his finger, and flicked the short sword that was coming at him.
How big is Gamabunta's short sword?
Uya's body was far smaller than this short sword, and compared to this short sword, Uya's fingers were like a thin strand of hair.
But with just a flick of that slender, ordinary finger, the enormous dagger came to an abrupt halt beside Uya!
The howling wind was instantly dissipated. (To be continued.)
