Chapter 997: The Chakra Cannon Across the Battlefield!
Chapter 997: The Chakra Cannon Across the Battlefield!
Two kilometers away!
"What a perfect opportunity!!"
Tenten's eyes lit up as she suppressed the enemies in front of her with overwhelming firepower, preventing them from engaging in close combat.
She had always wanted to test the power of the Chakra Cannon.
However, the targets before her weren't worth wasting the strike she had been charging up for half a day.
Although she also possessed the 'Annihilator' electromagnetic cannon, specifically designed to launch the Starshard Spear, with power and range far surpassing the Chakra Cannon.
But the 'ammunition' for it was too precious to be used recklessly, so she could only resort to the Chakra Cannon, which had comparable power.
Chakra Cannon!
It was inspired by the Cloud Ninjas, and Douping had shared the idea with Orochimaru, who then took credit for it.
Three Chakra Cannons!
These were part of Orochimaru's 'legacy', and after obtaining the actual cannons, Relia also 'copied' a few, but all had various flaws.
For instance, the ones on the Storm Ship were twice the size and consumed even more energy.
However, these flaws were insignificant for large carriers like fortresses, cities, and aircraft carriers.
As for the original three Chakra Cannons, they were directly given to Tenten, whose space affinity had been rapidly increasing.
It was her growing affinity that allowed her to accommodate these three Chakra Cannons.
Now, it was time to demonstrate their power.
This wasn't something to be admired from afar.
Whoosh!!!
An intensely white pillar of light shot out from a massive cannon behind Tenten, piercing through the sky and heading towards the Triple Nandana Gate two kilometers away.
Two kilometers!
At such a distance, it was normal for the shot to go astray.
But don't forget, Tenten's supernatural organ not only enhanced her space affinity but also aided her shooting accuracy, ensuring pinpoint precision.
Moreover, with Douping's handmade tactical goggles, Tenten's shooting accuracy was terrifying.
Even if the distance were doubled, she could still guarantee a 100% hit rate on fixed targets.
The angle was slightly oblique.
The result of the attack left Jiraiya in shock.
"How is this possible?!"
Witnessing the Triple Nandana Gate, a giant gate with three demonic faces, shattered without any resistance under the pillar of light, Jiraiya couldn't control his expression.
It was terrifying!
The sheer power of the attack left him completely caught off guard.
Indeed, this was the most crucial aspect.
Given his strength, if a Tailed Beast Bomb had been aimed at them, he would have sensed it. Yet, he hadn't felt a thing just now.
Although the attack wasn't directed at him.
But the absence of any reaction was unusual.
This was one of the advantages of the Chakra Cannon.
Being an ultra-long-range attack, unless it was aimed directly at a powerful opponent, the target's senses wouldn't be as sharp.
Otherwise, Jiraiya would have sensed it and used ninjutsu or other countermeasures to potentially alter the outcome.
The pillar of light from the Chakra Cannon didn't explode upon hitting the Triple Nandana Gate but continued to advance for several kilometers before dissipating.
Five kilometers range!
And this was with reduced power, not at maximum power and range.
If the power and range were maximized, it would be too much for the Chakra Cannon, and a few shots might require part replacements or render the cannon irreparable.
Being able to fire multiple times was already a testament to Relia's current advantage in metal materials.
If the Cloud Ninjas used the Chakra Cannon at full power, it would be rendered useless after one shot.
Additionally, the power of the Chakra Cannon also depended on the amount of 'energy accumulation'.
From the initial strike to now, Tenten had accumulated a significant amount of chakra energy, which enabled her to deliver this blow.
The remaining two Chakra Cannons were still charging, ready to fire at a critical moment.
As for the Annihilator, it was reserved for crucial moments and didn't require energy accumulation, which was why it was considered the trump card, unlike the Chakra Cannon.
After that single shot, the battlefield fell into a brief silence.
Who could possess such an extravagant attack?
Not only did its power rival an 'S-Class Forbidden Technique', but its range was also exaggerated to the extreme.
A range of several kilometers!
Kage-level ninjas didn't even dare to dream of possessing such a technique, let alone lower-ranked ninjas.
Even among Kage-level ninjas, there were no tales of anyone with such a long-range attack that maintained such overwhelming power.
The Jinchuriki's attack, despite the distance, was a possibility, but it would be challenging to achieve a precise hit.
Tenten's strike, however, was on a whole different level, akin to an Ultra-Kage class attack, and with full force at that! The astonishing part was that, at her current age and strength, she could unleash such an exaggerated attack, leaving everyone in awe of her power.
Countless people marveled at her strength.
In the world of ninjas, any power that could be controlled became a part of their arsenal.
This sentiment resonated deeply with the Leaf Ninjas.
"Impossible!"
"Tenten..."
"Stay focused!"
Not a moment could be spared, not a word wasted, as they flipped through the pages of the book, searching for the 169th page.
...
Shikamaru, Rock Lee, and Choji were well-acquainted with Tenten and her capabilities.
Especially Rock Lee, who had been in the same team as Tenten, knew that her strength relied heavily on her ninjutsu tools, and even then, she was no match for Neji, let alone himself.
But now, her power had skyrocketed to a level that could destroy heaven and earth.
Speaking of which, their newly formed Team 10 had become the village's renowned 'Genius Team'.
Shikamaru was a Jounin, while Rock Lee and Choji were Special Jounins.
Though classified as Special Jounins, their combat prowess was such that they could easily overpower regular Jounins. The only reason they hadn't been promoted was due to eligibility and specialization requirements.
Their strength, compared to the original storyline, was on an entirely different level.
It wasn't that their talents had been enhanced, but rather, the environment had changed.
In the original narrative, Shikamaru's father, the 'Wood Leaf Strategist', was still alive, and the Leaf Village had suffered minimal damage. With Temari by his side, life was good, allowing him to play shogi every day and complain about the 'troubles' of being a ninja.
But now, the death of his father had left the Nara Clan in a deteriorating situation.
If not for the clan's rich heritage and the support of the Yamanaka and Akimichi clans, the Nara Clan might have already declined.
Shikamaru, at a young age, had to step up and shoulder the clan's burden, becoming the clan leader.
It wasn't that he was the only choice for the position.
However, being the son of the previous clan leader gave him the qualification, and his intelligence and relationship with Asuma as his mentor further solidified his leadership.
Shikamaru, in the current timeline, had dedicated every second to improving his strength, resulting in his formidable power.
Compared to his original self, he could effortlessly defeat him with just one hand.
Choji, although his father was still alive, had to face the challenges of the three clans' united struggle and an environment that pushed him to master the 'Super Beika Jutsu', a pinnacle secret technique usually reserved for clan Jounins. This early mastery made his strength terrifying.
Rock Lee's story was even more remarkable!
He had always been known for his incredible perseverance, but what he lacked were resources.
His previous training methods were life-threatening, disregarding the limits of his body.
But with the village's investment in resources, be it training equipment, secret medicines, taijutsu, or more, everything became accessible, unlocking Rock Lee's potential. Now, he had complete control over the Eight Gates Technique.
In contrast to the original storyline, where he could only open the sixth gate during the final battle and watch from the sidelines, he could now unlock the Eighth Gate.
However, the effectiveness of the Eight Gates Technique depended on the user's foundation. Just because Rock Lee could open the Eighth Gate didn't mean he could rival Guy.
When Guy opened the Eighth Gate, even a Rikudo-level opponent might be kicked to their demise.
Rock Lee, on the other hand, opening the Eighth Gate would only bring him to the Ultra-Kage level, posing no threat to Rikudo-level opponents.
Even at the Ultra-Kage level, he could merely threaten, not dominate.
Guy's decades of hard work and innate talent, even with Rock Lee's head start and the village's resources, couldn't be surpassed.
The strength of these three individuals had increased significantly, making Tenten's growth all the more impressive.
She was incredibly powerful! Unremarkable in the village, but after joining the Solar Country, she had become a formidable force.
As they marveled at Tenten's growth, Bunta, unprotected by the Nandana Gate, faced the hunting prowess of the Raptor Fighter.
