Chapter 311: War Command: Uchiha Meika! (A0A) The computer is broken, and there may be fewer updates.
"Move quickly!"
Uchiha Meika, dressed in combat attire, revealed her tall and slender figure, which contained endless power, perfectly complementing her cool and flawless beauty, truly a goddess.
(Flat-chested, and then the tight-fitting black combat suit is the image I had in mind, having searched for a long time for a suitable image. The anime version always felt like something was missing!)
Facing the Uchiha Meika, who was like an ice queen, everyone, including the Uchiha clan, obeyed her every word.
Even Yuzuki Seika, who had been hastily recalled from the Land of Tea, lost her usual relaxed demeanor and was now seriously acting as Meika's deputy.
In private, it was one thing, but in public, she was Meika's best deputy.
It was because of her and Yuzuki Shou's consistent example of maintaining each other's dignity, coupled with Meika's own strength and talent, that the Chobo branch had been united internally.
If it were Uchiha Tomoyuki, things would be different.
His indecisive personality, combined with a lack of domineering presence and strength to suppress the clan, had led to the ongoing internal turmoil within the clan.
Especially after the Nine-Tails Disturbance, the village had decided to relocate the Uchiha clan.
From the village's core area to the village's outskirts.
And right next to them were several Fireline Faction ninja clans, effectively placing them under 'surveillance'.
More importantly, the Uchiha clan had agreed to the relocation.
When Uchiha Meika heard this news, she almost didn't return to the Leaf Village to confront Uchiha Tomoyuki, grabbing him by the collar and questioning if he had water in his brain.
The Uchiha clan had already been under suspicion during the Nine-Tails Night, and now agreeing to the relocation was as good as admitting their involvement in the incident.
It was like admitting guilt without being prompted!
Even without evidence, it would affect others' perceptions.
But for now, these matters didn't dampen Uchiha Meika's mood.
This was her first time leading a war.
Not a small-scale mission conflict, but a real war, and one initiated by them, unrelated to the Leaf Village.
"It's a pity we didn't bring the Skyglider, or we could have tested the thing that could change the pattern of the Ninja World's wars as Dong Ping said!"
Yuzuki Seika suddenly sighed after making the arrangements.
The Skyglider!
It was something they had obtained from the Void Ninja.
Since it was a sudden encounter, they hadn't seen the other party use it, so Yuzuki Seika had always felt that Dong Ping valued it too much. She had originally wanted to witness it herself but decided against it this time.
"We don't need that kind of thing to win this time!"
Uchiha Meika was full of confidence.
Regarding Dong Ping, her confidence in him was even stronger than his own, so she agreed with his opinion.
In a local war like this, there was no need to bring out something that could revolutionize the world, as it was their ultimate trump card, only to be used at the most critical moment.
Revealing it now would only put them at a disadvantage.
"Forget it, do as you please!"
Seeing the unwavering trust in her niece's eyes when she mentioned him, Yuzuki Seika didn't say more.
Next, one by one, ninjas, artisans, and slaves disembarked, unloading a massive amount of supplies.
Even before the battle had begun, they had brought everything they needed for subsequent development, along with the necessary personnel, which showed their confidence.
But it would be strange if they didn't have confidence!
Aside from Dong Ping and Yuzuki Shou, who could quickly arrive at any time, there were also shadow-level powerhouses like herself, Yuzuki Seika, and Yamazaka Housuke in the fleet. Not to mention the 'fox spirit' hiding in the shadows.
In terms of high-end combat power, their side was overwhelmingly strong.
If it weren't for the need to reduce the Ninja World's wariness of them and prevent too much attention from being drawn their way, just the presence of their strong team would be enough to crush the Sand Ninja.
This local war aimed for a complete victory, but they must not display strength beyond the bottom line of the major ninja villages.
If they showed all their strength, the first to deal with them would not be the Sand Ninja, but the Leaf Village.
You already have a rebellious nature, and with such terrifying strength, are you planning a rebellion?
Regardless of their intentions, possessing such power is a sure path to death, so the Leaf Village would undoubtedly choose to 'stabilize the interior' before dealing with external threats.
If they were to fight against the Leaf Village, it would be a huge disadvantage for them.
Not only would they be unable to continue exploiting, but they would also lose their shield, so this operation was quite restrictive.
It was also a test!
If Uchiha Meika performed exceptionally, it could be expected that she would take charge of future external conflicts.
After all, she was Dong Ping's fiancee, and there were no issues with her identity. Combined with her strength and abilities, she was the perfect candidate.
"Right, on the other side, Yamazaka Houji has already led a team to support them. You should go and assist as well, just in case the Sand Ninja have any tricks up their sleeves!"
Uchiha Meika confirmed that there were no Sand Ninja around to stop them from landing, and she immediately assigned this task to Yuzuki Seika.
Yes, she was also aware of the situation on the other side.
However, with the 'Vixen' secretly protecting them, she wasn't overly worried. Sending Yamazaka Houji ahead was also to ensure that this trump card remained hidden.
"Yes!"
Yuzuki Seika nodded and quickly left the port alone, rushing towards the location mentioned in the intelligence.
On the other side!
At this moment, Scarlet Lotus was in terrible shape.
For nearly a day, she had been playing a game of hide-and-seek with the enemy.
She now realized that they were planning to capture her alive, and they had even intentionally left her team behind to hinder her.
They kept blocking her path to the southern coast, trying to force her deeper into the desert.
Despite her efforts to conserve chakra, she was almost depleted.
"Captain Scarlet Lotus, don't worry about us. Later, we'll help you break through. You must not fall into the hands of the Sand Ninja!"
The sensory-type Jonin from the three-man team suddenly spoke up.
The Sand Ninja made no attempt to hide their intentions, and the team knew that once their chakra was exhausted, they would only be a burden. So, they made a resolute decision.
Ninja were not afraid of death.
As long as their death had value, it was enough.
"No, wait for me to clear a path. Follow me... this is an order!"
Scarlet Lotus gave a firm order when she saw that they wanted to say something.
Turned around!
She prepared for a final struggle before her chakra completely ran out.
Makki, who had been chasing from behind, was like a predator seeing its exhausted prey finally fall into a trap.
Sand Ninja gathered around him one by one.
During the pursuit, the Sand Ninja took turns, so their chakra and stamina were well-preserved. Now, they were in a prime state to intercept.
A large number of Sand Ninja blocked Scarlet Lotus's path, forming an impenetrable steel wall.
Facing this formation, even if Scarlet Lotus were in her prime, she wouldn't have the slightest chance of breaking through their defenses.
Did they really think she was a Shadow-level Ninja?
The Sand Ninja blocking the way had relaxed expressions.
They could all see that their prey had little strength left to resist.
It was at this moment that Scarlet Lotus, who had been rushing through the desert, slowed her pace. The team behind her did the same.
A low rumbling sound echoed through the sky, gradually increasing in volume.
Everyone instinctively looked up.
In the southern sky, a black dot streaked across at high speed, like a meteor falling straight down.
Boom!!
Amidst the deafening roar, the meteor landed between the two sides, sending up a cloud of sand.
As the sand settled, a tall figure emerged from the sand pit.
"Storm's Wrath!!"
Everyone instantly recognized the newcomer.
There was no mistaking it; the two-meter-three-tall figure in the sleek, jade-like Kinetic Armor was too distinctive, a one-of-a-kind in the Ninja World.
In the past, they would wear a layer of Metal Armor underneath, but after realizing it was often destroyed, they stopped bothering.
The nearly two-meter-three-tall, robust figure, even standing in the sand pit, exuded an overwhelming pressure.
"This..."
Makki hesitated.
With their strength, it was impossible to stop the opponent's advance.
But giving up was also unacceptable, especially since the target was so close. Abandoning the mission now would render all their previous efforts and preparations futile.)
Soon, a voice relieved Makki of his hesitation.
