Chapter 295: The Great Toad Sage's Disgrace
Because of this, the momentum of the Ninja Alliance began to weaken silently. It felt as if one side was growing stronger, while the other was being depleted and crumbling.
Originally, the Alliance had launched their attack on Konohagakure with overwhelming morale, but now things had changed. The Fifth Hokage, Uchiha Yuta, had not even acted for long, yet the moment he did, his power was overwhelming enough to suppress the entire coalition's momentum.
And worse—had they not all seen it? The legendary Great Toad Sage had submitted without resistance.
---
Under such circumstances, countless shinobi of the Alliance now looked at the Great Toad Sage with eyes full of anger and contempt. If not for fear of his strength, some of them might have already struck him down themselves.
"Damn it, what use is this cowardly toad?!"
"What else can he do besides brag and cower?"
"It's humiliating! The Alliance's cooperation with Mount Myōboku was the biggest mistake we've ever made!"
"More than a mistake! The Great Toad Sage has shattered everyone's beliefs. I've never felt so ashamed!"
"Get lost! Go back to Mount Myōboku—we don't want to see you anymore!"
A chorus of curses erupted. The Alliance's shinobi seethed with rage, some of them practically ready to tear the Great Toad Sage apart.
And it wasn't only ordinary shinobi who were stunned.
Even the Fourth Raikage, A, the Third Tsuchikage, Ōnoki, and Orochimaru of the Legendary Sannin were left speechless.
They never expected that the Great Toad Sage would turn out to be nothing more than gold and jade on the outside, but rotten within.
Faced with the pressure of Uchiha Yuta, he didn't even dare to utter a word of resistance. It was beyond humiliating.
---
"Hahaha… so this is how the Great Toad Sage managed to survive from the era of the Sage of Six Paths until now."
Orochimaru's snake-like eyes gleamed with mockery.
In the past, when he heard that the Great Toad Sage had lived since the time of the Sage of Six Paths, he had been intrigued. He even wondered if he could obtain some of the sage's cells to study the secret of his longevity.
But now, he saw clearly: there was no secret. The Great Toad Sage had lived this long simply by being spineless, by living like a tortoise.
Orochimaru sneered, truly enlightened by this revelation.
---
"Damn it… really damn it…"
Ōnoki's face was livid. He had imagined many outcomes, but never this.
He knew Uchiha Yuta was overwhelmingly strong, but for the Great Toad Sage to show such weakness… it was a disgrace that destroyed a lifetime of reputation.
"The Great Toad Sage… he didn't even dare to speak a harsh word…"
The Fourth Raikage clenched his fists, veins bulging on his forehead. His mind was in chaos.
This so-called sage had come to cooperate with the Alliance on behalf of the Sage of Six Paths—and this was the result?
Before the Alliance even launched their assault on Konoha, their supposed ally had already surrendered!
"Is this really the Great Toad Sage of Mount Myōboku, one of the Three Great Sage Lands?" someone muttered in disbelief.
"I understand now. He's nothing but a toad that bullies the weak and fears the strong. The Sage of Six Paths picked up nothing but trash."
"If I didn't know the ties between Konoha and Mount Myōboku, I'd think the Great Toad Sage was an undercover agent for Uchiha Yuta. That performance was flawless!"
"This so-called Great Sage has destroyed the reputation of Mount Myōboku in a single day."
---
Even the reincarnated Kage summoned by Edo Tensei—the First and Second Kazekage, the Second and Third Raikage, and others—could no longer hold back.
Having already experienced death, they had no fear of it. And so, they cursed loudly without restraint.
They had once placed great hopes on the Great Toad Sage. But now, after witnessing him kneel so submissively before Uchiha Yuta, it felt like ice water had been poured over their hearts.
---
"Hahaha! The Fifth Hokage, Uchiha Yuta, is truly terrifying—he suppressed the Great Toad Sage without even moving an inch!"
"I'm convinced—he is the strongest Hokage in the history of Konoha!"
"The Great Toad Sage didn't even dare to breathe! The Fifth Hokage, Uchiha Yuta, has reached a level of power unseen in the shinobi world!"
"Konoha's chances of victory have skyrocketed! Even Uchiha Madara's face has turned ashen!"
---
Among the resurrected stood the First Hokage, Senju Hashirama, the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, and the past Kage of Sunagakure, Kirigakure, and Iwagakure.
They glanced at each other in silence, surprise and realization flashing in their eyes.
At first, when they saw Uchiha Yuta annihilate Fukasaku and Shima of Mount Myōboku in an instant, they thought perhaps the Great Toad Sage would retaliate.
But no.
This so-called Sage was nothing more than a coward, surviving by bowing his head, preferring to live in disgrace rather than confront true power.
And before the overwhelming might of Uchiha Yuta, he dared not lift a finger.
