"Hey you toad, did that big toad Gamamaru really not tell you about me? " Izanami asked as she looked at Fukasaku. While she was angry, she still wanted to know whether that old toad really let out his descendants without informing them about the dangers.

Yes, this guy Fukasaku is a direct descendant of that old toad Gamamaru. In fact, Gamamaru can be considered his great-great-grandfather. And among his many descendants, Fukasaku was the best, as he became a sage at a very young age.

One could say Fukasaku is able to become the acting leader of Mount Myōboku due to his high evaluation in Gamamaru's heart.

"Huh?" Fukasaku had a bewildered expression as he looked at Izanami with confusion. Did this girl really have an amazing reputation? Wait, did she just curse the Great Toad Sage?

Realizing this, Fukasaku was enraged. So the toad sage once again tried to attack Izanami, wanting to teach this audacious human for disrespecting the Great Toad Sage.

Unfortunately dreams are sweet, but reality is very cruel. Izanami slapped the day lights out of him and then started beating the shit out of him. In less than 10 minutes Fukasaku was on the ground begging for mercy.

Yes, that's right. Fukasaku, the respected toad sage, had his pride destroyed in just 10 minutes under Izanami's fist of justice.

"Tsk, as expected, you sure live up to your ancestor's legacy. Cowardly to the core " Izanami snorted as she kicked Fukasaku one last time.

Fukasaku, who was lying on the ground looking lifeless, completely ignored her nasty remarks.

Well, if you also had your senses get 100X enhanced and be forced to feel the pain of getting beaten black and blue, you would also be the same as him. Even if his great ancestor came, Fukasaku didn't think anything would change.

'No in fact, he might even get a more cruel punishment than me.' Fukasaku thought inwardly. After all, even he was frightened by the malice directed when Izanami uttered the name Gamamaru.

"Hmm, then now can you tell me what that bastard Gamamaru wanted ?" Izanami asked as she looked at Fukasaku with a smile that sent shivers down his spine.

Fukasaku knew that if he didn't give any satisfactory answer, he would once again be tortured by this crazy bitch. But despite his fear, Fukasaku didn't speak at all. In fact, he was quietly gathering nature energy to blow himself up and take down Izanami along with him.

"Sigh, why did I even bother asking you?" Izanami sighed as she kicked Fukasaku again and sealed his Dantian, making his suicide. Then, ignoring his despairing look, Izanami dragged Fukasaku into a portal.

...

Coming out of the portal, Izanami, dragging Fukasaku, came to Mount Myōboku. Their arrival instantly caught the attention of the guards. At first the toads were looking at Izanami with curiosity, but when they saw the injured Fukasaku being dragged like that, they were stunned for a second, but then they all ran forward with anger.

But with a wave of Izanami's hands, the guards were knocked down. But it didn't even take two seconds when another group of toads came rushing in. But similar to the first group, Izanami only needed one hand wave to deal with them.

Like that, piles of unconscious toads were gathered around the road like garbage. This immediately alarmed the sages and other warrior toads.

A few flashes passed by, and suddenly Izanami was surrounded by toads that were at least 5 meters tall. These are the warrior toads that usually respond to summons by their contractors. And leading them was none other than Gamabunta, who holds the position of Chief Toad.

"Halt, intruder! This is Mount Myōboku. Surrender or be prepared to become enemies of Mount Myōboku " Gamabunta said as he held his blade ready to attack at anytime.

Similar to Gamabunta, the other warrior toads were also in their battle stances, ready to act. Unlike those guards who had never actually gone to a battlefield, these warrior toads, who had danced on the thin line of life and death and had their combat intuition honed to the extreme, clearly felt the danger Izanami presents. What 's more, seeing how even their elder Fukasaku was beaten like that, how could these warrior toads be at ease?

In fact, the warrior's toads are purely here to buy time. They want to delay this monster until the sages get their distress signal and come to the rescue.

Izanami who could more or less guess what was on their minds could only roll her eyes in exasperation. She wondered how these guys could be this naive. And besides, does that bastard really think I don't dare go on a killing spree?

'Now I really want to do it ' Izanami thought as her eyes gradually began to turn cold. Her killing intent gradually began to surge like a tsunami drowning everyone into despair.

The vast killing intent washed all over Mount Myōboku, dropping the temperature into negatives. The plants and other animals all ran away in fear.

At this time deep in Mount Myōboku, the stone statues that were as large as skyscrapers all opened their eyes at once. Then they all stood up and disappeared in a flash and appeared in front of Izanami.

These are the oldest toad sages and also be considered the guardian protectors of Mount Myōboku. And these guys were always in deep meditation due to their old ages. Unlike Kaguya, these guys have limited lifespan so in order not to die, they take on posts like this and sleep until they become statues with all the dust gathered.

And they were now awakaned due to Izanami's killing intent. And leading them is the current Great Toad Sage of Mount Myōboku, Gamamaru. The old toad, who usually acts like an old man who has senile dementia, is now looking at Izanami with a cold, indifferent gaze.

"Heh, you old toad finally came," Izanami sneered as she released the half-dead Fukasaku. Now that this old toad is here, this guy is no longer useful.

"Izanami, why did you come to Mount Myōboku and hurt our elder Fukasaku like that?" Gamamaru questioned with a cold tone.

"Heh, don't you know damn well why I beat the shit out of him? Stop with your acting, Gamamaru. No one is bored enough to listen to your nonsense. I came to deliver a single message to you.

Stop trying to be smart. Don't you dare to try and scheme against Naruto again. Otherwise I will let the world enjoy a feast full of roasted toads " Izanami said as her killing intent grew heavier.

Feeling the rising killing intent, the sages all wore a grim expression. Just how many people did this person kill to have such a strong bloodlust? Although they were a bit scared by Izanami's killing intent, as sages who had once dominated their own eras, these toad sages still had the courage to draw their weapons. They all turned to look at Gamamaru, awaiting his response.
