Chapter 462: The Departure and the Burial
Chapter 462: The Departure and the Burial
The Hineko Clan's territory!
As night fell, the area was illuminated by countless fires, turning the darkness into daylight.
The Hineko Clan was holding a grand celebration, rejoicing in the war that was about to unfold.
To them, neither the Mist Village nor the Heavenly Fortress could deter their reckless mindset, and they were equally prepared to initiate a rebellion the very next day.
It could only be said that this clan was truly insane.
It was the Bone Pulse Bloodline Limit that made them so formidable; otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to rise to become one of the Five Great Ninja Clans, let alone survive.
But now, they had dared to provoke the Wolf Extinction.
The Heavenly Fortress!
They wouldn't follow the 'benevolent' approach of the Leaf Village.
They had no choice before, as they hadn't grown strong enough to make a bold move.
But now, due to the Daimyo's allied forces' attack, they could no longer hide their true strength, so they decided to reveal themselves.
They chose the path of defiance and confrontation!
Their first target, with full force, was the Mist Ninja.
And in their first counterattack, they breached the enemy's village and occupied the Mist Village.
After the success of their plan, they began their camouflage.
To the outside world, the Blazing Sun Armada had 'retreated' in defeat, and the Mist Ninjas had defended their village, now purging the spies of various powers and preparing to go into isolation.
Regardless of how other powers viewed the situation, it seemed that the Heavenly Fortress's counterattack had failed, and they had been directly repelled by the Mist Ninjas.
At least, that was the surface appearance.
Even if they had failed, the Crab Island battle had showcased the terrifying might of the aerial forces.
Currently, various powers were trying their best to gather intelligence on this matter, unsure if it was true.
Even if they had guessed the truth, when the Heavenly Fortress had promoted the use of gliders, they had tried to uncover the secrets behind it, but their conclusion was that the Heavenly Fortress had 'money to burn.'
Now, they realized their mistake in underestimating the Heavenly Fortress.
The Heavenly Fortress had used this opportunity to train an enormous number of pilots.
Indeed, countless spies from the Heavenly Fortress were now highly active.
Regarding this, Dong Ping, who was currently in the Mist Village, showed no concern. Deploying the aerial forces was intended to overthrow the existing combat model and demonstrate their capabilities.
Perhaps the various powers could easily replicate the gliders.
But the fighter jets were a different story.
Despite their similar appearance to the gliders, the technology was worlds apart, and even Orochimaru couldn't replicate them.
It wasn't a technological gap.
Although there was already a significant technological disparity in this area, after all, Dong Ping's expertise wasn't limited to biology.
The biggest challenge was in the 'materials' aspect.
No matter how strong Orochimaru's scientific capabilities were, without these materials, replication was impossible.
If alternative materials were used, aside from the question of achieving the same effects, the cost alone would be enough to crush any hopes.
White Absolute Cells, Kousou Tree... these materials were not easily replaceable.
Dong Ping wasn't worried about the leakage of fighter jet technology; the critical factors were technology and materials. Even if they obtained the physical components, replication would be impossible.
But those were concerns for later; for now, he was enjoying the show.
The Hineko Clan's reenactment of the Mist Village's purge of the rebellion!
After all, their enemies had departed in the afternoon, and the graves were dug in the evening.
Such speed!
Forget about revenge being a dish best served cold; Dong Ping felt even half a day was pushing the limits.
This operation was led by Zhao Mei Ming, who had just been released.
It was her 'pledge of allegiance.'
After regaining her senses, she didn't put up a show of 'death before surrender.' Instead, she spoke with Master Yuan and immediately pledged her loyalty.
Furthermore, she volunteered to carry out this mission.
Given the disparity in strength, even if it was for the village, she had to 'submit' to the Heavenly Fortress.
It would be unreasonable to risk the lives of everyone in the village just to display her courage.
If her life was at stake, she wouldn't hesitate.
However, even if every Mist Ninja fought with their lives, they couldn't threaten the Heavenly Fortress, so there was nothing to discuss, and they could only endure for now.
"Commence the attack!"
Zhao Mei Ming glanced back at the side of the Mist Ninja army, at the figure being protected by a group of people, and then decisively charged towards the Hineko Clan.
"Kill!"
The other Mist Ninjas roared and followed suit, their hearts filled with a mix of helplessness and frustration.
However, the situation was stronger than their feelings.
No matter how helpless or frustrated they were, they had no choice but to obey the orders.
Of course, it was only because they were led by Zhao Mei Ming that they complied. If it had been the Heavenly Fortress Ninjas, they might have rebelled right then and there, unable to bear the humiliation.
The target of their attack, the 'mad dog' Hineko Clan, also played a part in their willingness to follow through.
If it had been any other ninja clan, they might have felt some hesitation.
But when it came to this particular clan, they had no qualms whatsoever and were eager to take action.
The title of the Hineko Clan alone was enough to reveal their unpopularity within the Mist Village, so it was no surprise that the Mist Ninjas held such an attitude towards them.
As soon as they charged into the Hineko Clan's territory, they were met with resistance.
The Hineko Clan, possessing the Bone Pulse Bloodline Limit, which allowed them to use their own bones as weapons, were always in a state of combat readiness, making surprise attacks impossible.
Upon seeing the Mist Ninjas, one of the Hineko Clan members, instead of panicking or fleeing, became excited and charged forward.
"Die!"
The Hineko Clan member's body sprouted sharp white bones, resembling curved blades, and rushed towards the large group.
Monster!
With sharp bones covering their entire body, it was impossible not to view them as monsters.
The Hineko Clan was notorious for their love of brutal killings, making it genuinely challenging to evoke any positive emotions towards them.
"Flounder Release: Liberation!"
Chou Jiro drew the twin Flounder swords from his back and swung them forward.
Boom!
One of the Seven Swordsmen of the Shinobi's blades directly knocked the charging Hineko Clan member back.
By infusing chakra into the sword, it could launch chakra orbs or spikes, making it an incredibly powerful weapon.
With this sword, despite his young age, Chou Jiro had risen to the elite Jonin level, and knocking back the opponent was not surprising.
However, a chilling event occurred.
The Hineko Clan member, who had just smashed through several buildings, slowly stood up and pounced again like a wild beast.
This was the very reason the Hineko Clan was so troublesome.
With the Bone Pulse Bloodline, they not only had the ability to transform into a porcupine-like state but also possessed a defense comparable to Iron Man, making them incredibly difficult to defeat.
Once the Bone Pulse was awakened, even a Chunin could defeat a Jonin.
If not for their unpredictable nature on the battlefield, the Hineko Clan would undoubtedly be the most fearsome warriors.
"What a disobedient one, here's a hot kiss for you!"
Zhao Mei Ming, her eyes cold, watched the charging Hineko Ninja approach.
Melt Transformation: Melt Monster Technique!
A green acidic liquid poured down on the charging Hineko Clan member.
An alarming event occurred.
Hiss!
The Hineko Clan member, covered in impenetrable bone spikes, suddenly went limp.
They were melting!
Like a candle in high heat, they collapsed softly, unable even to scream.
"Kill all the rebellious Hineko Clan members!"
Zhao Mei Ming gave the order calmly.
Since they couldn't refuse the order, they would do their best.
Even if it meant staining their hands with the blood of their fellow villagers, they would not hesitate.
Just then—
"Damn you, Mist Ninjas!!!"
A roar echoed.
Hinata Sei, her body reeking of alcohol, led a large group of clan members charging out, meeting the Mist Ninjas head-on on the main road of the clan's territory.
Zhao Mei Ming didn't waste time with words; she took action.
This mission required no such niceties, and she, along with the Mist Ninjas behind her, were executioners, not sword-wielders.
As the leader of the Hineko Clan, Hinata Sei was undoubtedly a powerful Shadow-level ninja.
Combined with the Bone Pulse Bloodline, her known abilities surpassed those of Zhao Mei Ming.
However, battles weren't solely determined by known abilities; they also depended on factors like compatibility and combat intelligence.
Take, for example, a certain highly filial son.
His abilities might only be on par with a Shadow-level gatekeeper, but his true combat power could easily overwhelm even a strong Kage.
