Chương 581: 546. Attack on the HQ
"That direction! That's HQ."
The expressions of the shinobis on the battlefield turn grim.
BOOOOM…
The tailed beast bomb strikes the barrier of the HQ and explodes. A massive mushroom cloud rises in the origin. The enormous pillar of chakra penetrates through the sky and generates an extremely powerful earthquake.
"Damn it!" The Kages and the rest grit their teeth.
"Contact HQ!"
Several members of the communication team desperately attempt to contact the HQ.
"Anyone, do you hear me?!"
"Someone respond!"
"Shikaku, Inoichi, Ao… anyone?! Can anyone hear me? If you are listening, then please respond!" The captain of the field communication team grits his teeth.
Except for the static buzzing in his ears, there was no other noise.
"Damn it!"
Obito stares at the group with a grin.
"The brain of the allied Shinobi force is out of the equation. Now, it's time to take out the main body." He glances at the Kages with a sinister expression.
Swish…
Obito makes a Ram hand seal and controls the ten-tail. The ten-tail charges another tailed beast bomb and points it toward the group of shinobis.
"It's time to say your farewell!"
Whoosh… swoosh…
Suddenly, several attacks fly towards the ten-tails from multiple directions.
"Yasaka Magatama!"
Several giant chakra magatama beads explode on top of the ten-tail's head.
"Raikou: Third Form: Musou Isshin,"
A massive lightning blade cleaves Ten-tail's head.
"Gentle Fist: Eight Trigram: Sixty-Four Vacuum Palm Fists,"
"Sixth Gate: Asakujaku,"
Several massive fireballs rain down on the ten-tails.
"Ice Release: Snow Hailstorm,"
"Carmella: Bone Spear Barrage,"
…
…
…
Several powerful attacks simultaneously land on the ten-tail's body. The impact of several such powerful techniques seriously wounds the ten-tail. The ten-tail misses its target and launches the tailed beast bomb towards the sky.
The tailed beast bomb forms a curved trajectory and explodes on a distant deserted island, sinking the entire island into the ocean.
"The reinforcement is here!"
The shinobis cheer with joy. The timely arrival of the elite members of the coastal team reignites their passion.
Whoosh… whoosh…
Two massive green and pink Susanoo lands in front of the ten-tail. The humongous Susanoo isn't even as large as the single toe of the ten-tails.
GYAAAHH…
The ten-tails release a painful scream and collapse on the ground. More and more elite shinobis enter the battlefield. They surround the ten-tails from all directions and continue to barrage it with powerful ranged jutsus from a safe distance.
"Looks like it's not enough to overwhelm the combined effort of the Five Great Nations without evolving the ten-tail to its next form." Madara calmly stares at the ten-tails.
Even Tsunade stops in her tracks and glances at the helpless condition of the ten-tails.
For a moment, the ten-tail seems to be overwhelmed by the omnidirectional barrage of the allied shinobi force.
-----------------
Back at the HQ,
BOOOOM…
The tailed beast bomb reaches the HQ within seconds. It targets the main building of the HQ and falls like a meteor from the sky.
SHUA… SHUA…
Suddenly, a transparent barrier envelops the entire HQ. Several Fuinjutsu formation lights up on the surface of the barrier, generating multiple layers of the sturdy barrier.
Crack… crack…
Numerous cracks spread across the first layer.
Bang…
With a loud bang, the first protective layer shatters into countless chakra fragments.
Bang… bang…
One by one, multiple layers of the barrier shatter like fireworks. The tailed beast bomb detonates and its energy spreads across the surroundings.
The heat, light, and chakra of the tailed beast rampages in the surrounding lands and destroys a radius of two to three kilometers around the HQ.
Ah…
Several powerful ripples spread across the water-sensing sphere. The water of the sphere reaches a high boiling point, and it bursts open like a water bubble. The water of the sensing sphere floods the HQ and several shinobis take covers to protect themselves.
Shikaku, Ao, and Inoichi also shut down the communication to protect the remaining equipment. The powerful burst of the ten-tailed chakra releases an EMP burst that disrupts the surrounding chakra and nature energy, thus cutting the supply of chakra to the entire area.
The explosion of the tailed beast shrouds the entire HQ since it is present at the focal point of the explosion. Blinding light engulfs the entire building and, one after another, several sounds of explosion ring in the ears of shinobis.
Blood leaks from the ears, nose, eyes, and mouth of the barrier team members as they give their best to preserve the integrity of the barrier.
The members of the medical squad also aid the barrier team and supply them with chakra and healing.
From the HQ as an epicenter, a powerful seismic shockwave spreads outwards and destroys the ground.
Rumble… rumble…
Intense rumbling spreads throughout the land and the HQ members suffer another powerful earthquake.
The land beneath us seems to have collapsed. An Earth-release user of the Iwakagure reports the status.
"How's the status of the barrier and the explosion?" Shikaku asks after the trembling calms down a little.
The members of the barrier team heave a sigh of relief at the survival.
"I thought we were a goner. Lady Kushina's barrier is truly one of a kind. To be able to withstand an attack from the ten-tail without even as much as a scratch on the members inside. It's truly a marvelous barrier." The leader of the Barrier Corp praises the barrier.
"What's the status outside, Captain?" Shikaku enquires.
"Shikaku-sama…" The captain bows slightly. The members of the medic team heal him as he reports.
"The blast of the tailed beast bomb has settled down. The explosion destroyed forty out of fifty layers of the barrier. We need to supply more chakra crystals to regenerate the barrier. It will take at least half an hour for the barrier to be restored completely."
"Mmm…" Shikaku nods.
"Attempt to restore the barrier as soon as possible. We don't have the luxury to not anticipate another attack on such scale on the HQ. We are the brain of the allied shinobi force, so it's a given that the enemy might pull another move to obliterate us."
Several reserve members of the barrier team head out with massive scrolls on their backs. These scrolls carry the Uzumaki fuinjutsu seals and loads of chakra ores to act as the power source for the thousands of nodes of the barrier.
The barrier of the HQ is a massive mega structure with thousands of intertwined fuinjutsu formulas and seals. Each of these fuinjutsu seals has its heaven and earth node and the entire layout of the barrier is similar to an advanced integrated circuit chip if observed from the sky.
The barrier team members repair or replace the damaged fuinjutsu seals and refuel the seals with missing chakra crystals. The consumption of the barrier is so high that they already expanded one-tenth of their current reserve in the previous attack. At such a rate, the barrier could only have ten such attacks from before.
"How's the situation outside?" Shikaku turns to the sensor unit.
"It will take us some time to create another water-sensing sphere." Ao and other sensor shinobis focus their attention on a small water orb in the middle of the room.
"The previous attack destroyed every life form within a radius of two kilometers of the HQ. Because of the shockwaves, the ground beneath us crumbled and currently, we are in the middle of a massive crater, and are at least fifty meters below the sea level from our previous elevation of twenty meters. The barrier absorbed most of the shockwaves, so we only felt the minor shaking and earthquake."
Ao reports the situation of their surroundings to him.
Shikaku turns to Inoichi and other members of the logistics and communication department.
"How long will it take us to restore our communication with the allied shinobi force?"
"Fifteen minutes at least and thirty minutes at most!" Inoichi gives a conservation estimate.
"The dense energy of the ten-tail chakra is interfering with our signals. It will take that much time to restore the communication." Inoichi helplessly shakes his head.
"We can only hope that the allied Shinobi force can last that long against the ten-tail. With the reinforcement of the way, it should be possible." Shikaku calmly places his hand on his head and thinks.
The remaining shinobis also return to their work to restore the facilities of the HQ. Without a central intelligence system, the allied shinobis force is similar to a blunt spear.
