Upon receiving orders, the team acted without hesitation.
They moved as stealthily as possible toward the Mist Village's defensive line. Once they were close enough that further progress would expose them, they exploded into action, charging forward with all their might.
At the forefront of the group were the leaders of the Ino–Shika–Cho trio.
Akimichi Chōza glanced back at his trusted companions and said, "Shikaku, Haiichi, I'm going in!"
"Understood."
Hearing his words, Nara Shikaku and Yamanaka Haiichi both nodded solemnly.
Without breaking stride, Chōza retrieved a small pillbox from his ninja pouch. Opening it revealed three pills: one yellow, one green, and one red.
These were the Akimichi clan's secret pills.
The green pill, known as the "Spinach Pill," could temporarily unlock 30% of the user's latent potential, increasing their physical strength by more than threefold.
The yellow pill, called the "Curry Pill," strengthened the user's life force and prolonged their enhanced state.
Finally, the red pill— the forbidden "Chili Pill"—was capable of boosting strength by a hundredfold in an instant. This activation caused chakra to take on a butterfly-like form, which was the origin of the Akimichi clan's "butterfly" moniker.
However, these pills came with significant drawbacks.
The "Spinach Pill" subjected users to excruciating pain, requiring immense willpower to endure.
The "Curry Pill" would leave users severely weakened after its effects wore off, making them easy targets.
The "Chili Pill" was the most dangerous of all. It placed an enormous strain on the body, often resulting in death. Even survivors were left severely weakened for extended periods and had their lifespans shortened—a last-resort measure.
Chōza was not planning to use the red pill; the current situation did not yet warrant such measures. He intended to use only the green pill, which had the mildest side effects.
After taking the green pill, his temples throbbed, and veins bulged prominently. Even Chōza could not completely suppress the pain, a slight twitch betraying his discomfort.
Taking a deep breath, he forced himself to ignore the pain and focused on the surge of power coursing through him.
Wasting no time, he retrieved a spool of steel wire and a sealing scroll from his pouch, summoning several dozen kunai. He quickly strung them onto the wire and wrapped it tightly around his body.
With a nod to Shikaku and Haiichi, Chōza formed a seal and activated the Partial Multi-Size Jutsu.
With a resounding pop, his body expanded into a large, ball-like form, wrapped in the wire-laden kunai, resembling a giant spiked sphere.
He then pulled his arms and legs into his body, his hair rapidly growing and hardening to cover his form, further increasing his defensive capabilities.
Finally, chakra erupted from the stubs of his limbs like rocket thrusters, propelling him forward in a rapidly spinning motion, straight toward the Mist ninja's defensive line.
This entire sequence took only seconds.
The Mist ninja stationed at the defensive line had barely registered the surge of chakra from Chōza's green pill before they saw the spinning mass charging directly at them.
Behind the rolling juggernaut, they noticed the team of Konoha ninja, instantly recognizing them as the group that had attacked their base.
The Mist ninjas sprang into action, throwing weapons and casting jutsu to intercept the advancing Konoha forces.
However, with Chōza at the vanguard, the others didn't need to act. The attacks launched by the Mist ninjas struck Chōza's spiked form but failed to penetrate his defense.
As Chōza's Human Bullet Tank neared the defensive line, a Mist Jonin stepped forward to intercept.
The Jonin rapidly formed seals, crouched, and slammed his palms into the ground, invoking a jutsu that looked all too familiar to Aomei.
It was Earth Style: Mud Wall.
With a loud boom, a towering earthen wall rose to block Chōza's path.
The impact was thunderous. Chōza's spinning form collided with the wall, sending chunks of stone flying as kunai dragged against the surface, carving deep grooves into it.
After a moment, Chōza reverted to human form, quickly assessing the situation before launching himself back into his spiked state.
Rather than breaking through the wall, he veered off its edge, bypassing the frontline Mist ninja entirely and crashing into their rear ranks.
Screams echoed through the battlefield as Chōza rampaged. Wherever he went, bodies were sent flying, limbs were severed, and the ground was stained with blood.
The chaotic scene was too much for the lower-ranked Mist ninjas, who scattered in all directions. The defensive line fell into disarray.
Some Mist Jonin attempted to restore order and target Chōza.
But before they could act, Minato Namikaze and his team arrived.
Nearly twenty elite Konoha shinobi struck in unison, and the ensuing carnage was catastrophic.
The Mist Jonin were forced to abandon plans to deal with Chōza and focused on the immediate threat posed by Minato and his group.
Overhead, Aomei observed the scene, quickly closing the distance.
From above, he unleashed a flurry of jutsu, targeting the Mist ninjas' remaining lower ranks. His efforts ensured they could not regroup or join the battle, keeping the chaos contained.
As Aomei understood all too well, even the weakest ninja could tip the scales of battle if they overwhelmed his comrades with sheer numbers.
By keeping them occupied, Aomei ensured the Mist forces could not capitalize on their superior numbers or delay the Konoha team long enough for reinforcements to arrive.
