Chapter 458: Uchiha Orthodoxy in the Sky Fortress!!
Chapter 458: Uchiha Orthodoxy in the Sky Fortress!!
Rampage!
Within the Mist Village, the Sky Fortress ninjas, well-equipped with ample ninjutsu tools, in peak condition, and brimming with high morale, were overwhelming the numerically superior Mist Ninjas.
This is terrible! And whenever a Sky Fortress ninja was injured, they would immediately take out and consume healing potions, essentially carrying a personal medic with them.
This significantly increased the survival rate of ninjas, as even severe injuries could be managed until they returned to the Sky Fortress for treatment.
Undoubtedly, the introduction of healing potions had directly boosted the ninjas' survival rate.
However, they had run out of explosive tags.
The airburst shells were too costly; each required five tags, and fewer than that would result in a significant drop in power. Consequently, most of the explosive tags were used to manufacture these shells to ensure a sufficient supply.
Initially, they thought that several thousand airburst shells would be sufficient.
But upon actual usage, they realized that this quantity was indeed inadequate.
Even with the advantage of the first strike kill, if they lacked this advantage, achieving the same results would require a minimum of several times more shells.
Nevertheless, even without many explosive tags, the Sky Fortress ninjas maintained a significant advantage, easily taking on multiple opponents.
Especially those Uchiha ninjas.
With ample resources and rigorous training, almost all of them had activated their Sharingan, the 'Red Eyes'.
Once the Sharingan was activated, even at the most basic level of the single tomoe, they gained the ability to fight beyond their rank during battles.
In summary, the Uchiha clan was undoubtedly a 'Combat Clan', becoming stronger with each battle.
During the Warring States Period, the Uchiha clan was on par with the Senju clan.
However, after the Second Hokage, Hiashi, confined them to the Security Department, handling minor tasks and preventing them from participating in significant missions, their strength rapidly declined.
This was a cunning strategy! But when the Main Branch Lineage arrived at the Sky Fortress, Dong Ping immediately released them from their constraints, restoring the Uchiha's 'Glory'.
Now, the Uchiha in the Sky Fortress no longer considered the Uchiha in Konoha as their true representatives.
The Uchiha Orthodoxy resides in the Sky Fortress!
Facing the Mist Ninjas in their weakened state, the Uchiha could only be described as 'slicing through them like a hot knife through butter'.
As soon as they engaged, the Uchiha's Byakugan directly used genjutsu. Even if they couldn't control the Mist Ninjas, as long as their opponents were affected, even for a brief moment, it was enough for the Uchiha to reap their lives.
No wonder a saying circulated in the Ninja World.
When facing an Uchiha one-on-one, fleeing is the only way to survive.
The Byakugan is too overpowered! But when they realized the Uchiha was on their side... there was no problem.
Onboard the Radiant Sun!
"What do you think? How long can these rebels hold out?"
Dong Ping turned to look at Nagai Hideo, whose face was filled with shock, repeatedly muttering 'impossible' and 'unbelievable'.
Since the battle began, he had been in this state, even more so than Rin Keinuyuri beside him, whose face had turned pale.
"Impossible! I clearly sent out the message in advance. How could the village... No, what did you do?"
Nagai Hideo instantly grasped the key point.
Indeed, he had felt something amiss when the village was under air raid without any prior response.
Now, he finally understood.
There was only one possible explanation for this situation.
The message hadn't been sent out! Consequently, his hope that the village could withstand the Sky Fortress's attack and that other forces would come to their aid was unlikely to materialize.
Dong Ping nodded in confirmation.
"You're right. Your information didn't get out, or it was too late!"
No wonder in various dramas and films, the villains often reveal the truth themselves, as the sense of outsmarting their enemies is simply irresistible.
"So it's true!"
Nagai Hideo sighed bitterly.
Although he had guessed the answer, he still felt immense pain.
Because this meant that the Mist Village... was finished.
If not for the previous civil war, there might have been a chance to buy time or even repel the Sky Fortress's attack.
But that civil war had ruined everything.
"I wonder if it's still possible for me to surrender now?"
After despair, Nagai Hideo sighed again.
He knew why they had brought him along instead of leaving him on Crab Island.
It was to make himself the other party's 'agent'.
Originally, he would never submit, but now he had no choice but to do so.
If he refused, it would only push the Mist Village into the abyss. By having him come, at least he could negotiate for the village's interests within the other party's tolerance.
"Of course, there's still time!"
Dong Ping was satisfied with Nagai Hideo's ability to recognize the situation in time.
If the other party was truly stubborn and inflexible, he wouldn't dare let him work for him.
Only someone with a heart for the Mist Village and a flexible, capable mind could be confidently absorbed into the Sky Fortress system.
As an intelligent person, the other party wouldn't act recklessly, and they also knew which lines not to cross.
With Nagai Hideo as a 'lubricant'-like agent, the Sky Fortress could smoothly assimilate the Mist Village.
As long as nothing went wrong in the early stages, the various benefits and treatments would be enough to ensure that the Mist Village would wholeheartedly submit.
Just like the current Sky Fortress forces, regardless of their previous affiliations, returning to their original factions would never be an option for them.
The benefits and treatments were too good, the system was transparent and competitive, and there was enormous growth potential!
Anyone with a sound mind would know which choice to make.
Therefore, Dong Ping wasn't afraid of Nagai Hideo playing some 'fancy tricks' for him; over time, he would realize that the Mist Village had already transformed into his desired 'shape'.
"I hope your future performance won't disappoint me!"
Dong Ping said with a meaningful tone.
He didn't elaborate on the consequences of disappointing him.
There was no need to explain; the other party understood that not only would they suffer, but the Mist Village would also face misfortune.
If he had said this earlier, it might not have been as intimidating.
But looking at the ruins of nearly half the village, flattened to rubble, these words sent chills down one's spine.
Therefore, even for the sake of the Mist Village, Nagai Hideo had no choice but to wholeheartedly serve the Sky Fortress.
As for his methods, Hyuga Cangyue secretly admired him from the sidelines.
Although Dong Ping rarely paid attention to the internal affairs of the Sky Fortress, whenever he took action, he would grasp the key points and never make a mistake in strategy.
It could be said that he was the absolute core of the Sky Fortress' growth to its current state, relying solely on this ability.
Now, by bringing Nagai Hideo, a quasi-Kage who was previously deemed unmanageable, under his control, he made people submit.
As for Rin Keinuyuri, at this moment, she had already 'crashed' and didn't know what to say.
No matter how low her IQ was, she understood that Nagai Hideo had submitted due to the Mist Ninjas.
But in doing so, the other party had become a 'traitor' to the Mist Village, an existence that should be despised.
Just as Dong Ping was about to bring Nagai Hideo under his control, the battle situation also tilted in his favor.
A one-sided battle! The Sky Fortress had a significant advantage, making their offense as unstoppable as 'crushing dry weeds and smashing rotten wood'.
Although the battles of Red Lotus and others went smoothly, it didn't mean everything was going well.
At the very least, Shan Jian Hao Er and the other Shadow Rank powerhouses not only didn't fare well but were also being suppressed by their opponents.
Yes, Zhao Mei Ming had gone all out.
With her dual Bloodline Limits, her chakra might only be quasi-Kage level, but her combat power was undoubtedly Kage level.
But when facing such a situation, she directly went 'overpowered', almost reaching the level of a 'Strong Kage'.
"Uchiha Dong Ping!"
Zhao Mei Ming, filled with boundless anger, endured a scorching Inferno Style attack from Ye Cang, charring half of her shoulder, and rushed onto the Radiant Sun.
Watching Zhao Mei Ming charge towards him, Dong Ping, with his gloved right hand (concealing his condition), waved to the rear, stopping Shan Jian Hao Er from intercepting her.
The last arrow of a strong crossbow cannot pierce fine silk!
The other party had overdrawn their chakra and was already at their limit; they could collapse at any moment, so why should he be afraid?
Although his condition was poor, it didn't mean his self-preservation abilities were weak, and besides, he had the best 'bodyguard' by his side.
As Zhao Mei Ming charged onto the deck, Dong Ping couldn't bear to turn away.
It wasn't that he feared danger, but the upcoming scene was too cruel for him to watch.
