Chapter 899: Anti-Airfire!
Chapter 899: Anti-Airfire!
"Fire!"
"Use long-range ninjutsu!"
"All those with flight abilities, take to the skies! We must prevent the airship from entering the village at all costs!"
...
Asuma shouted commands.
With Jiraiya absent, he took on the role of leader.
The two Advisor Kage elders held high positions, but on this battlefield, their authority was not as influential.
Although the airship appeared to be close to the ground, it was actually several hundred meters high, a distance beyond the reach of normal ninjutsu.
Throwing ninja tools was out of the question, so the most damaging tactic of shuriken and explosive tags could not be employed.
"Wind Style Chakra Mode!"
Asuma's voice rang out as he was enveloped in a whirlwind, ready to take to the skies and bring down the airship.
"Overamplification Technique!"
Akado Dinzou jumped to the base of the wooden wall and transformed into a giant over ten meters tall, palms spread wide.
Throw!
He prepared to hurl people onto the airship.
It was a simple yet brutal tactic, but highly effective.
With the enhanced bodies of ninjas and the support of chakra, they moved at a pace comparable to a small Superman. Throwing someone several hundred meters into the air was not an issue.
Timing their descent and finding opportunities to land safely was also effortless.
The key was that Akado Dinzou was not limited to throwing once; he could continuously hurl people upwards.
"Haa!"
Several Jonin were thrown into the air by the giant palm.
Others also took to the skies, some using ninjutsu, others summoning their creatures, each displaying their unique abilities as they all charged towards the airship.
Even though they didn't know the airship's objective, they knew it must be stopped at all costs.
On the airship!
"Foolish mortals!"
"The power of the gods is not something you can touch!"
"I shall grant you a small... trial!"
...
Tendou Pain's tone was completely devoid of any emotion, as if he didn't even notice the Konoha ninjas rising from below.
Kaka!
On one side stood a bald man, the Asura Path Pain, with mechanical-like limbs extending, revealing numerous thick rockets.
Whoosh!!
Small rockets launched, shooting towards the ground below.
In terms of power, these rockets might not be much stronger than explosive tags.
However, they automatically tracked their targets, and their speed and range were astonishing.
Missile Barrage!
The rockets fell like meteors, one after another.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The continuous explosions not only created a defensive line in the air but also covered the Konoha border wall on the ground.
This display of long-range firepower alone revealed the terrifying power of the Asura Path Pain.
What's more, his strength far exceeded the original storyline, giving him a sense of Ten-Ten's abilities.
However, Ten-Ten was a pay-to-win character, while Asura Path Pain was a pay-to-win chakra user.
For Nagato, a super Uzumaki, chakra was an abundant resource.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to afford the Rinnegan, these non-native Six Paths-level eyes.
"Wind Style: Wind Blade Dance!"
Asuma, in the air, attempted to use this S-rank wind ninjutsu to slice through the airship in one move.
Unfortunately, Pain was on the airship.
Whoosh!
Tendou Pain leaped off the airship, and as he descended, he spread his hands.
"Divine Rendament!"
The powerful repulsive force crushed the wind blades and, in the process, slammed Asuma back to the ground.
The difference between a strong Kage and a super Kage was a fine line, but the gap was even more significant than that between a genin and a Kage-level ninja.
Kage-level, super Kage, and strong Kage!
These three levels were like steps on a ladder, and for a genius, climbing them was not an impossible task.
But even the most terrifying genius would find it hellishly challenging to take on a strong Kage as a super Kage.
However, if they possessed Mangekyou Sharingan-level killing techniques, even a super Kage could be defeated.
The problem was, Asuma didn't have such techniques.
Although he was incredibly skilled in wind ninjutsu, he was weak against Tendou Pain.
The wind blades were crushed by the repulsive force, and Asuma himself was slammed into the ground by the terrifying force.
"Summoning Technique!"
In the sky, a female voice rang out.
The Animal Path Pain summoned a massive bird.
Eight-Footed Bird!
A giant bird with impressive speed.
In terms of combat, it might not compare to the Golden Crow Clan, but as an aerial mount, it was an excellent choice.
Not only that, but the other Pain members all jumped onto the Eight-Footed Bird, seemingly preparing for a surprise attack on Konoha.
"Stop them!" Mizuhara Gen was the first to shout, also sending out a distress signal.
Jiraiya's secluded training ground was not in Konoha, but it wasn't far away, and he would be able to return soon.
As long as this Sannin, known as 'Demon', arrived, they wouldn't have to worry about the Six Paths Pain.
After all, they already had a good grasp of their opponent's intelligence.
Six Paths Pain!
Each of them had their own ninjutsu and abilities, and Itachi had already shared this information before the Akatsuki's attack on the village, so Konoha was confident.
Hokage Rock.
This work is organized and uploaded by Liushujiu Book Bar.
"Master, regarding the leaked information about the Six Paths Pain and Konan, isn't their power insufficient for Konoha?"
Quan continued eating the snacks Jiraiya forced upon him while asking this question.
At this moment, they were sitting on a sofa under a sunshade, with iced juice and snacks by their side.
When it came to Tang Ping, he never neglected himself when he had the means.
"No, the ones who are prepared for battle will give them a 'surprise'!"
Tang Ping was actually more confident about Konan.
With prior battle preparations, this 'Carrying Rice' event would not be as simple as in the original plot.
To ensure the surprise, Tang Ping intentionally refrained from asking about the preparations to avoid spoilers.
"Is that so!"
Quan continued to watch the battle at the Konoha Village gates.
At this moment, the area had already turned into a wasteland due to the battle between the Six Paths Pain and the Konoha ninjas.
Among the Six Paths Pain, the other Paths were tolerable.
But the Heavenly Path, Asura Path, and Animal Path were definitely the types with maximum destructive power, not to mention the havoc wreaked by their various ninjutsu.
Konoha was about to face severe destruction again.
With the cover of the Six Paths Pain and Konan, the five airships, each over 200 meters long, still hovered above the village.
The next scene was somewhat unexpected.
Tap, tap!
Cannons emerged from multiple locations.
The reason Tang Ping referred to them as 'ninjutsu' instead of 'cannons' was that ninjas infused chakra into them, eliminating the need for manual ammunition loading; they simply placed metal spheres into the barrels.
Anti-airfire!
Apparently, Konoha had this backup plan.
But it made sense; it was a different era now.
With air combat squads having existed for so long, it would be strange if the ninja villages didn't have countermeasures.
Boom, boom!
Blue fireballs the size of basketballs were launched from the cannons, rising hundreds of meters into the sky before exploding.
The fireballs spread like fireworks after the explosion.
Metal Spheres + Chakra! They executed a 'Meteor Fire' anti-air defense.
It seemed that their research path was inspired by Konoha's Vacuum Bomb.
However, without the advanced production techniques, they created a 'Beggar's Edition' of the Vacuum Bomb.
It had to be said that, aside from being cumbersome to use, it was indeed an excellent method.
By using ninjas' chakra instead of explosive tags to ignite the metal spheres formed by stacked metal sheets, they could directly impart enormous kinetic energy to the metal sheets, causing devastating damage to the surroundings.
An excellent approach indeed!
Ninjas were a profession that evolved rapidly as long as it was related to warfare.
In contrast, the nobility and various countries showed little activity in this regard.
However, the major ninja villages had practically copied all of the Sunlight Nation's equipment and tactics.
They were practically using them without any modifications.
The key point was that the Shinobi World had no concept of 'copyright', so there was nowhere to seek justice if their ideas were plagiarized.
Fortunately, the airships also copied the Sunlight Nation's 'Air Chamber' technology.
This technology divided the floating air bodies into multiple compartments, ensuring that even with some damage, there would be no unexpected accidents.
It was this technology that made airships extremely safe.
Without this technology, airships would be highly dangerous; even minor damage could lead to the destruction of the ship and the loss of lives.
However, as the airships were hit by the anti-airfire, the contents they carried began to spill out.
"What's this?!"
Tang Ping's body instinctively straightened as he watched the dark, pungent liquid pouring down from the five airships.
For Konoha, this was 'old news'.
