Chapter 159 The Successor of the Will of Fire
"Rumble rumble rumble—"
Violent explosions echoed throughout Konoha.
The continuous explosions and billowing smoke were like a clarion call, suddenly waking up Konoha, which had only enjoyed a few days of peace!
After all, Konoha now is not the same as it was during Shippuden, having enjoyed three years of peace. Moreover, due to Danzo's obstruction, Tsunade is not yet able to fully control Konoha.
Having just seen off the Third Hokage and Danzo, and then having been tidied up by the Second Hokage before being fed to Tsunade, Konoha was now undeniably the greatest ninja village in the land.
As soon as the explosion occurred, Akali clearly saw a large number of Konoha ninjas standing on the rooftops.
Ninjas skilled in using ninja tools attack with them, while ninjas skilled in defensive escape techniques defend themselves with escape techniques.
Some highly skilled and daring individuals even attempted to leap into the air and launch attacks on the swooping ninjas!
However, although the Konoha ninjas' counterattack was very resolute, the effect was not very good.
Because the Sky Ninjas are too far away, still in the sky, their attacks are affected by gravity.
Normally, a Chunin's ninja tool throw might still be lethal at a distance of 100 meters, but now it might lose power and fall after flying fifty or sixty meters into the air.
Similarly, the range of a B-rank ninjutsu attack is generally only about 100 meters, and B-rank is considered a high-level ninjutsu.
On the other hand, the Sky Ninja not only have bombs with destructive power comparable to exploding tags, but also a strange ninja tool that is somewhat like a gun and can fire kunai.
The kunai raining down from the sky, along with the bombs fired by the Sky Ninja, caused numerous casualties throughout Konoha.
The first clash was a complete victory for the Sky Ninja!
However, the glory of the Sky Ninja came to an end.
because……
"Hahahaha!"
With a low laugh, Akali split into a hundred with Instant Shadow Strike.
One hundred Akali shadows densely covered the small hillside where Yakumo was located.
"Yakumo, I'm going to provide support. You should also try to influence the Sky Ninja!"
Leaving behind a single sentence, Akali left a shadow clone to protect Kurama Yakumo, while the remaining ninety-nine Akali used Flying Thunder God Technique to travel to various parts of Konoha, then soared into the sky, unleashing a barrage of various small skills at the air ninjas in the sky!
At the same time Akali made her move, on the ground in the Konoha Food Street, a fat man with messy, lion-like hair and the character for "food" written on his belly armor grew rapidly and enormously, as if being inflated.
This is Choza Akimichi. He used the Super Multiply Technique, and a black rod that grew to a gigantic size along with Choza Akimichi swept across the sky.
With just this one blow, hundreds of ninja were caught off guard and were hit by the falling object.
Before these Sky Ninjas could fall and hit people or plants, another azure sky rose up, blocking the falling Sky Ninjas and their subsequent attacks.
Akali in the air turned her head and saw that it was the Hokage Building. Tobirama Senju, who had been studying White Zetsu these days, had rushed over.
Now that Tobirama Senju had arrived, there was naturally no follow-up to this attack by the Sky Ninja.
The aerial ninja's attack sounds impressive, but it doesn't even have three moves. The individual aerial ninjas flying in the sky are just human chakra suppliers, and their combat power is not even as good as that of a recent ninja academy graduate.
Even if Akali splits into a hundred using the Instant Shadow Killing Formation, the combat power of a single shadow clone is still enough to kill an air ninja as easily as killing a chicken.
As more powerful members of Konoha took action, the Sky Ninja in the sky were cleared out in just a short while.
However, the elimination of the Sky Ninja was not the end, but the beginning.
Hokage Building, Jonin Meeting Room.
"Oh!"
Tsunade slammed her hand heavily on the table, her angry almond-shaped eyes sweeping over everyone present: "You mere Sky Ninja, defeated by me from who knows how many years ago, dare to attack Konoha!"
"Haiyi, Ibihi!"
"exist!"
"Yes!"
Yamanaka Inoichi and Morino Ibiki responded in turn.
Tsunade asked, "Is it possible for the Torture Department to uncover the Sky Ninja's hideout within a day?"
“Of course we can!” Yamanaka Inoichi replied. “In fact, the restrictions in the minds of those Sky Ninjas are very rudimentary. We have already found information about their lair from the minds of the surviving Sky Ninjas.”
"The problem now is that, based on the information provided by those Sky Ninjas, this group of Sky Ninjas who launched the attack were brainwashed suicide squads, the kind that never return. And the Sky Ninjas' stronghold is a mobile floating fortress. We can't be sure if the Sky Ninjas' fortress has been moved."
"Tsk!" Tsunade was very annoyed when she heard Yamanaka Inoichi's answer: "It's been so many years, how come those air ninjas haven't improved at all? They're still using the same old tricks!"
“There’s no other way, because it really works.” Nara Shikaku chimed in, “Lady Tsunade, it seems we have no choice but to send out a reconnaissance team to find the Sky Ninja’s lair.”
Is this the only way?
Tsunade frowned, somewhat reluctant.
She wanted a more direct approach.
After all, the timing of some events can lead to different reactions.
In the original work, Tsunade had been in power for three years, and if she was attacked, all she had to do was find her and fight back.
But now she has just taken over the Hokage position from Tobirama Senju, and she has immediately been attacked. This is simply a slap in the face to Tsunade.
And it was Tobirama Senju who intervened and stopped the attack.
Faced with the attack, the current Hokage was helpless, but the former Hokage intervened and stopped it.
Although I know that each Kage has their own strengths, and Tsunade's strengths are only in individual combat and medical ninjutsu, who can say for sure what's going on with people's hearts?
However, some things cannot be changed by objective will.
Faced with Tsunade's question, Nara Shikaku slowly shook his head: "This is the only way."
“However, if Lady Tsunade wants to find the Sky Ninja’s lair as soon as possible, we can send more elite ninjas!” Nara Shikaku added.
This is what they call "the brick flew because of the great force".
"Is that so..." Tsunade frowned, still somewhat unwilling.
As the Hokage, she knew about Tobirama Senju's situation. Before Tobirama's research yielded results, would sending too many elite ninjas have any impact?
However, Tsunade is also a decisive person, and she understands the principle of cutting through the Gordian knot.
"Then let's leave it at that!"
Tsunade made the decision: "Find Kakashi!"
Under Tsunade's orders, a considerable number of Konoha ninja were mobilized and sent to the coastal areas of the Land of Fire.
Hinata, who possesses the Byakugan, a powerful tool for reconnaissance, was also among them!
However, this situation was exactly what Obito and Black Zetsu wanted.
Or rather, their purpose in finding the demon and simultaneously arranging for the empty ninja was precisely for this!
However, Hinata and her team will definitely not make a move until the very end, when they are absolutely certain of their success. Black Zetsu and Obito have other matters to attend to right now.
In a cave in the Land of Rivers, Obito activated Kamui, and a white Zetsu with blood-red eyes emerged from behind him.
"Hiruko, I've brought you the materials you requested!"
