Chapter 315: Firebombing!
Chapter 315: Firebombing!
Metal Shell + 5 Explosive Tags inside!
Yes, this is an explosive shell.
It doesn't rely on gunpowder for its destructive power.
If gunpowder were to be used, the Shinobi World's current chemical capabilities wouldn't be able to produce TNT, Shadowbreaker Explosives, or any other such explosives.
But where science falls short, Ninjutsu fills the gap.
Since gunpowder isn't powerful enough, Explosive Tags are used to compensate.
When ninjas use Explosive Tags, they typically throw them, or at the very least, use them to set up traps.
However, the attack range is extremely limited.
With the use of cannons, the attack range can be significantly extended.
The metal shells can reach several kilometers away, and when the Explosive Tags inside detonate, the metal shells with their gaps will instantly shatter into fragments, creating an effect that is...simply devastating.
Each Ten Thousand Ton Aircraft Carrier has twenty-five cannons.
Although the carriers are designed for Skygliders, in the Shinobi World, carriers also serve as battleships, so they naturally need offensive weapons.
Those Thousand Ton Battleships, for example, prioritize speed and agility, and only have nine cannons each.
Special shells are loaded into the cannons.
When fired, the Explosive Tags on the shells are ignited.
Not far from the port, there is a massive fortress with a metal framework and a sand and stone exterior.
Even a real super sandstorm would be easily blocked by this fortress, let alone ordinary sandstorms. It's impossible for them to destroy the fortress.
However, the Sand Ninjas aren't trying to destroy the fortress with sandstorms; they are using the sandstorms to cover their advance.
Clank! Clank!
Countless clashing sounds rang out.
Numerous puppets of various designs, mixed in with the blinding sandstorm, charged towards the Heavenly Fortress's fortress.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The Blazing Sun Fleet, docked in the port, had already adjusted their cannons to the right angle and opened fire.
The shells tore through the sky, shredding the sandstorm, and rained down on the dense group of puppets below.
Boom!!
The Explosive Tags inside the shells suddenly detonated.
The power of the Explosive Tags was comparable to high-level (B-rank) Fire Style techniques, and the metal shells were also shattered, sending fragments flying like a Metal Storm across the area.
The devastating explosions and metal fragments swept through the area below, wreaking havoc.
Unfortunately, there were no Sand Ninjas in the attack zone.
If they had been flesh and blood, they would have been torn apart by the attack without a doubt, but being puppets, they could withstand it unless they were too close.
Although many puppets were shredded, many more continued to charge forward.
Puppet Division!
Being the Sand Ninjas' trump card, they were certainly not ordinary.
The fleet's long-range bombardment showed no signs of stopping, as they prepared for a 'saturation' strike.
The Heavenly Fortress had a limited number of ninjas, and couldn't afford many losses, but they had plenty of money to use for this 'life-risking' tactic.
Before this, no one had ever used this tactic.
Because in the Shinobi World, life was truly cheap.
With the resources they were consuming, they could have trained many more ninjas.
After several rounds of bombardment, the fleet ceased fire.
It wasn't because they were out of shells, but because the cannons were about to explode from overuse.
Nevertheless, they had accomplished their task, significantly reducing the number of puppets.
The remaining puppets also reached the area just in front of the forces battling at the fortress.
"Earth Style: Earth Wall!" N
(Originally obtained through trade with the Stone Ninjas, exclusive Earth Style not on the exchange list!)
All the Heavenly Fortress ninjas capable of using Earth Style in front of the fortress used this ninjutsu.
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
Walls rose from the ground, blocking the incoming sandstorm and clearing the view significantly.
And so, the puppets came into view.
"Be careful!"
"They're puppets!"
"Remember to use the antidote!"
...
The commanding captains shouted their warnings.
Indeed, the combat power of the Sand Ninja puppets was one thing, but the key issue was that they were also poisonous.
This was the most deadly aspect.
The puppets themselves were immune to poison, so they could freely apply the toxic liquid, which was far more convenient than ninjas using poison.
Once scratched by a puppet, one could only pray for good fortune.
However, the ninjas from the Heavenly Fortress also had antidote on their tactical belts.
Knowing they were fighting Sand Ninjas, they had to be prepared for the opponent's unique puppet techniques and poison.
It was difficult to defend against the puppet techniques, but the antidote could handle the poison.
Those poisons that couldn't be countered by the antidote, Chiyada could create them, but the amount would be limited, and the cost would undoubtedly be astronomical.
So, the poison on the puppets could be countered by the regular antidote.
"Uchiha, use your Throwing Technique to destroy those puppets with Explosive Tags!"
Uchiha Inabi shouted his commands.
It wasn't that Uzumaki Meika didn't give orders, but she had to keep her eyes on the strong Sand Ninja.
The decisive moment had arrived.
Today's battle would not only decide life and death but also victory and defeat.
If they won, they would not only continue to occupy the mining area but also gain more benefits in future collaborations.
If they lost, they would have to pay a price to maintain control of the mining area and give up more benefits in their collaborations.
Precisely because both sides knew that they would collaborate regardless of the outcome of this battle, the reason for this fight was the commissioned mission, not a war between them.
Whoosh, whoosh!
Kunai, trailing ignited explosive tags, pierced the puppets one by one.
Boom, boom!
The explosive tags shattered the puppets that had narrowly escaped the bombardment.
Uchiha Throw Technique!
A throwing technique renowned for its exceptional skill.
With the Sharingan, one could perform even more dazzling maneuvers.
The future's filial son had used this technique to dazzle countless people.
However, the price of a single kunai with an explosive tag was not cheap; it was a case of 'buying influence with money.'
But there was no other way.
These puppets were too dangerous, and even with an antidote, it didn't guarantee you'd have the chance to use it during battle.
Whoosh!
At that moment, a massive golden sand wave, like a tsunami, engulfed the earth walls ahead and surged towards the Heavenly Fortress' defensive fort.
It was Sand Gold!
It seemed that Lo Sha had made his move.
In this desert terrain, his overall strength had significantly increased.
Huff, huff!
A sound akin to a giant beast exhaling filled the air.
A towering figure, appearing from nowhere, stood at the forefront of the team, with two dazzling pillars of fire erupting from his backpack.
It was Yamazaka Housuke!
His mission was to hold off Lo Sha.
Although he had an absolute advantage over Chiyada, the opponent, having learned from past experiences, would never give him such an opportunity again. So, he could only try to stall Lo Sha.
Bang!
The solid chakra emanating from his body continuously blew away the surrounding sand, clearly indicating he had entered the Eight Gates Jutsu state.
The sandstorm gradually subsided.
Both sides' vision became clearer, and they could see the brown-haired man with his arms crossed at the peak of the sand gold wave.
Lo Sha!
As the Fourth Kazekage, he took the lead, charging ahead.
With his Magnetic Jutsu, he was the perfect fit for this mission.
In this desert environment, not only did his combat power increase significantly, but his survival skills improved as well.
"Are you my opponent?"
Lo Sha looked down at his opponent and spoke calmly.
The opponent was small, fast, and well-defended. Although he didn't have an advantage over Lo Sha, Lo Sha couldn't counter him either.
"Cosmic Mirage!"
With the assistance of his jetpack, Yamazaka Housuke, in the fourth gate of the Eight Gates state, unleashed this ultimate move.
Boom!
The air shattered, and the earth tore open.
A massive chasm appeared, and an intense fist wind swept forward, pulverizing everything in its path.
Boom!!
Amidst the deafening vibrations that almost shattered eardrums, the overwhelming sand gold wave was crushed by this single punch.
As his strength increased, so did the power of Cosmic Mirage.
But this attack wasn't aimed at Lo Sha.
Who knew if the opponent was even his real body?
So, Yamazaka Housuke's target was this overwhelming sand gold wave.
Although it didn't threaten him, the sand gold posed a significant threat to ordinary ninjas.
Instead of attacking an uncertain target, possibly missing, it was better to strike at this sand gold, which was extremely dangerous to his allies.
One-Punch Man!
Yamazaka Housuke perfectly played the role of Dong Ping, occasionally mocking the situation.
Whoosh!
After shattering the sand gold wave, Yamazaka Housuke spotted the real target and instantly rushed over.
The speed of the Eight Gates Jutsu state was not slow.
The kinetic armor didn't hinder his speed much and even provided a boost, affecting agility. However, having mastered Needle Kannon, he could mitigate this.
So, despite Yamazaka Housuke's 'heavy' kinetic armor, anyone who underestimated his agility would face a tragic outcome.
Unfortunately, the kinetic armor wasn't making its debut, and without the element of surprise, Lo Sha would never underestimate him. Thus, he fought with all his might.
Both sides tacitly moved the battlefield elsewhere.
No one wanted to harm their allies.
At this moment, the Sand Ninja side deployed another powerful warrior.
