I look to the east and frown a little.
"They are attacking the barrier. We need to enchant the barrier. Skull."
"On it, boss!"
We feed the barrier more of our flames and see it get a darker shade. Felicia's flame will reduce and stop all the incoming attacks, Skull's flame will propagate her flame, and my flame binds them together so they don't go haywire.
Not only that, but we also put the combination flames at the front, the Cloud barrier at the second one, and my sky flame at the last one to make it even more powerful. When I said that this barrier will be the same as before, I am not kidding.
I can feel them throwing all kinds of attacks toward the barrier, but the rain flame weakens the attack enough not to penetrate the second barrier. They manage to punch through the first barrier, but Skull's cloud barrier is too strong for their attack to punch through.
There is a reason why he is an Arcobaleno. He might be the 'weakest' out of all of them, but he is still the strongest Cloud in the world. His flame is the purest, and he has an unlimited amount of it because of the pacifier.
"They are stubborn, boss."
He looks at me and says,
"Should we attack them?"
"Hmmm… Let me do it."
I take a deep breath and summon my Glyph. A massive glyph appears in the sky, and a few seconds later, a hundred Grimms appear from the glyph. I create a stronger version of Grimm than the normal one. I summoned Death Stalker, King Taiju, Manticore, and Nevermore.
Manticore and Nevermore will attack from above, and the rest will attack from the ground.
It takes a lot out of me, but I have a bigger reserve now because of the constant training from Fakusaku. However, it still takes a lot to cast.
"Huuu"
"Do they take a lot out of you? I can take care of all of this alone, you know?"
"Yeah. However, don't worry. I regenerate them quickly. Don't worry. I am fine."
Other than increasing my reserve, the training also increases the speed of my energy regeneration. It is faster when I am not fighting because I can enter a meditative state as long as I don't move too much.
"If you say so. However, if you are about to fall down, inform me immediately. You are the boss. You are not supposed to fall."
"You are worried too much, Skull."
"It is my duty as your guardian, after all."
I hum and let the energy of the world flow through me. I need to take advantage of this world's natural energy because it is not tainted. At least not as bad as back home.
However, instead of letting the natural energy stay inside me, I let it flow out and only stay in my body briefly to filter the impurity. This is the duty of a sage, according to the toad clan. It is a duty to clean the world of impurity and connect living beings with the world.
While this method of meditation is not as beneficial as when I absorb natural energy and enter sage mode, it still benefits me. One of them is the increase in my energy regeneration. The other one is that the natural energy will strengthen my muscles, making me stronger. It is a slow but permanent increase.
There is a reason why a sage who meditated for a hundred years got stronger instead of getting weaker in manga or novels.
I snap from my thoughts when I feel all of my Grimm are dead. As expected of the people in the Naruto world. They are stronger than the people in RWBY. It only lasted fifteen minutes, and they managed to kill a hundred high-ranking Grimms.
I hum, and an idea appears in my head.
"Skull, can you create a clone of my summon?"
"I should be able to. Why?"
"The first hundred is dead. I want to summon the strongest Grimm in my possession and you to clone them. I cannot summon a hundred of them. However, your Cloud Flame can make a perfect copy of them."
Skull grins and says.
"Let's do this."
With a deep breath, I consume 80% of my energy and summon a bigger Glyph. A second later, a massive Dragon Grimm appears in the sky and roars. Skull engulfs the Grimm with his cloud flame, and a second later, it starts to propagate.
One Grimm turns into two, and two turns into four before it stops at sixty-four. With a grin, I order them to attack the incoming enemies.

|3rd POV|
The situation on the battlefield does not look good. The Uzumaki might not do this, but they are as exhausted as the Uzumakis. Even though they created an alliance, they underestimated the resilience of the Uzumakis.
Not only that, the deeper they get into the island, the more traps that greet them—seals that explode, seals that burn your organs, or seals that turn your brain into liquid.
They had already lost almost fifty percent of their army from this war alone. Now? Now, they see more than a hundred dragons flying above them and throwing a dark blob that gives birth to more creatures.
The first hundred of them are not strong, just mid-tier Chunin. A hundred of them are trouble, but the army can take care of them without a problem. The new dragons, on the hand… It is troublesome.
They are as durable as a Jounin specializing in Taijutsu, and there are almost a hundred of them. What makes matters worse is their ability to give birth to other creatures. They are not strong, but there are a lot of them.
"Jounin! Attack those lizards! The rest of you! Attack the ones on the ground!"
Onoki roars and orders his ninja to attack the dragon while he prepares an attack to destroy the dragon that is flying toward his camp. He opens his palm and releases a beam of light that cuts the dragon in half.
As he is about to attack another dragon who wreaks havoc on the eastern battlefield, he hears a loud voice from behind the barrier.
"We shall remember this day! We shall remember the pain and agony! And we shall have our revenge!"
A blinding light comes from the barrier, lasting for a few seconds before disappearing alongside the barrier.
Onoki orders his people to quickly get closer to where the barrier is supposed to be. However, after searching for hours, there is a sign of the Uzumaki left. There is not even any paper or anything that links to the Uzumaki left behind. They are gone, and their mission has failed. Uzumaki lived, and they will get revenge on them.
