Chapter 457: Breaking into the Village!
Chapter 457: Breaking into the Village!
Radiant Sun!
Bathed in the morning light, it seemed to be draped in a thin veil, appearing invincible.
A tens of thousands of tons metal warship, just how do you stop it?
At the bow stood a handsome young man with black hair, his arms crossed, wearing a black combat uniform.
On either side were figures with unique appearances, each exuding an extraordinary aura, and surrounding them were the Sky Fortress Ninjas like stars surrounding the moon.
The scene was awe-inspiring.
Swish! The Radiant Sun's flag at the top of the ship was blown up by the strong wind.
The Mist Ninjas, who had been fighting all night, looked exhausted, and just as they were about to rest, they saw the Radiant Sun approaching.
Their mental state collapsed!
They were already worn out from the initial bombing and then being harassed and depleted by the Kunai-wielding aerial forces for half the night. Their chakra and energy reserves were dangerously low.
Even with Zhao Mei Ming's command, allowing them to take turns and conserving some chakra and stamina, they were still in a precarious state.
But when faced with the Radiant Sun, a vessel that defied common sense, the shock they felt was even more intense.
"This is..."
Master Yuan approached Zhao Mei Ming.
After the exhausting battle last night, his condition, which was already poor, had deteriorated to the point of exhaustion.
"Elder, leave it to me from now on!"
A hint of worry flashed across Zhao Mei Ming's charming face, and then she firmly suggested.
It wasn't about seizing power but a genuine concern for the other's health.
"No need for that, old man. I don't have much time left, and it's more meaningful to do something for the village in my final moments, isn't it?"
Master Yuan shook his head, refusing the suggestion.
Today was a critical moment for the Mist Village, and he couldn't possibly back down.
"What a massive ironclad ship!"
"It can even fly!"
"Does the Sky Fortress have such a terrifying weapon?"
...
Even with their well-trained skills, the Mist Ninjas were no different from commoners when faced with the Radiant Sun, something that defied common sense.
But as they watched, they realized something was amiss.
Why wasn't it slowing down?
Not only was it not slowing down, but it was accelerating towards them.
"..."
Zhao Mei Ming was taken aback, feeling that the Sky Fortress lacked martial honor. Shouldn't they have negotiated first before engaging in battle?
"Scatter!"
In the end, she gave the only command she could—to disperse.
Facing such a terrifying behemoth, there was no way to stop it.
Barriers and similar defenses had not yet been restored.
Fortunately, Dong Ping was unaware of Zhao Mei Ming's thoughts; otherwise, he would have told her that he was in a hurry.
Time!
That was his true enemy.
Although he had done his best to block the news, the major powers might have already learned the details of the Crab Island battle.
Perhaps, at this very moment, messengers were on their way.
If they had been more decisive, reinforcements might already be en route.
Putting aside other considerations, if they had directly sent a Pillar Force or a Shadow Level Shinobi for support, Dong Ping would have to abandon this opportunity if he didn't want to challenge the entire Ninja World single-handedly.
If he were to give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, the major powers would never present him with such a chance again.
So, he was truly racing against time.
As for why they didn't attack during the night—sorry, but bombings don't discriminate between friend and foe. Once the ground forces engaged, the aerial forces would have to withdraw.
Even with Kunai support, it would be challenging to avoid 'friendly fire' during the night.
Therefore, the tactics were carefully planned.
First, bomb, then harass and deplete, and finally, the ground forces would engage in 'street fighting,' crushing the Mist Ninjas who were already at their limits.
Anyway, with the buffs Dong Ping had provided, if they still couldn't win, he might as well give up his dreams and go back to sleep.
"Hao Er!"
Dong Ping turned to the other.
Upon receiving the order, Shan Jian Hao Er stepped forward.
Dressed in white armor, he appeared tall and robust, exuding an intimidating aura.
Boom! Boom!
Green chakra erupted, enveloping him in a whirlwind.
Eight Doors Escape Technique!
This forbidden technique, which taxed the body, was used as if it were ordinary by Shan Jian Hao Er, who had access to a large supply of special provisions.
Buzz!
A layer of blue electricity appeared on Uchiha Shou's body.
Thunder Cloak (Lightning Chakra Mode)!
This technique can be used directly.
"Interesting!"
Ye Cang's body also manifested flaming orbs, but he restrained their power and did not release heat, or else the people around might get roasted first.
The three Shadow Level Ninjas charged forward simultaneously, clearing the way for the Radiant Sun.
Yes, Dong Ping's plan was to ram the Radiant Sun into the Mist Village and have the Heavenly Fortress Ninjas on board crush the Mist Ninjas in one go.
It seemed like an unnecessary move, and it also put the Radiant Sun in a dangerous situation.
But in reality, this was a necessary action.
The Radiant Sun was not meant for combat but for display and intimidation.
For example, take the Tailed Beasts; even if they didn't engage in battle, they would still exert tremendous pressure on the enemy.
The same goes for the Radiant Sun! Don't think this is an exaggeration.
Whether it was Senju Hashirama or Uchiha Madara, a significant reason they could dominate the Ninja World was that one possessed 'Susanoo' and the other 'Wooden Human Technique'.
After all, on the battlefield, no matter how strong you are, only those around you can feel it. But with things like Tailed Beasts, Susanoo, and Wooden Humans, everyone on the enemy side can see and feel their power, and the impact on morale is evident.
The Radiant Sun is no exception.
Boom!
The massive hull of the ship directly shattered the East Gate and the surrounding walls, 'crushing' its way into the Mist Village.
Most of the civilians had been evacuated, so there was no worry about collateral damage, and they could attack freely.
After all, they weren't destroying their own territory, so there was no need to feel pained about it.
To be honest, Dong Ping felt it was better to destroy everything.
Even if it meant the destruction of spoils of war, he didn't care.
For Dong Ping, who had mastered the Onmyou, rebuilding a new Mist Village was not a difficult task.
Furthermore, after flattening the Mist Village, he could erase their 'history and culture,' making it easier for him to absorb the village.
After being baptized by the information flood, Dong Ping naturally understood how to integrate a force.
History, culture, and the like—these were the aspects to focus on.
The history before his arrival had already provided him with numerous successful examples.
In other words, if the ninjas were all 'scholars,' and the ordinary people were numb and indifferent, they wouldn't care about who ruled them. After all, they were going to be exploited either way.
"Cosmic Mirage!"
Shan Jian Hao Er, who was at the forefront, unleashed his full power, aiming at Zhao Mei Ming, who was blocking his path.
Uchiha Shou and Ye Cang protected him on either side, providing support and protection.
This was the Mist Village!
One of the Five Great Ninja Villages, it wasn't like an ordinary small ninja village where a single Shadow Level Ninja could easily crush it, so they had to be cautious.
"Kill!"
Scarlet Lotus shouted commands while attacking the surrounding Mist Ninjas.
Despite having fewer numbers, the Heavenly Fortress side had overwhelming advantages in both morale and condition.
There were only about two thousand Mist Ninjas in the vicinity.
And many of them weren't particularly strong.
With only two thousand ninjas, it seemed like a poor showing for one of the Five Great Ninja Villages.
However, the Mist Village had limited resources and could only focus on 'elite' ninjas, resulting in a smaller number of ninjas.
Recently, the village had earned the title 'Blood Mist Village,' intensifying competition and infighting, further reducing the number of ninjas.
Excluding the three thousand Mist Ninjas at the frontlines and the over a thousand losses from the civil war, there were already four thousand ninjas. Adding the current two thousand, the total number of Mist Ninjas was over six thousand, which was a normal figure.
After all, it had been less than a decade since the Third Great Ninja War, and there weren't many new generation ninjas. Including private armies, having six thousand ninjas was already considered good.
"Crystal Style - Crystal Dragon Descent Technique!"
Scarlet Lotus formed hand seals and immediately unleashed her ultimate technique.
Crack!
A pink crystal dragon emerged from the ground, carrying her in mid-air as she charged towards the Mist Ninjas.
Others also displayed their unique techniques.
"Fire Style - Great Fireball Technique!"
"Wind Style - Fiery Palm Technique!"
...
Various ninjutsu techniques were unleashed without restraint.
