Chapter 876: Heavy artillery cluster! (Two in one)
【Da da da da da...】牏
【Boom!】【Boom!】【Boom!】
It should be a quiet night.
At this moment, there were loud gunshots, roaring explosions, gunpowder smoke, and killing sounds everywhere.
The evil spirit of war and the blood blowing in the air enveloped every corner of the world.
Bright tongues of flame spit out bullets that were ugly to the naked eye, forming a densely intertwined network of firepower.
From time to time, you can still see rounds of mortars or rocket launchers flying past, blasting out bursts of explosive flames on the vast sea of sand ahead.
When the fire light dissipates and the air waves subside.
Instead, there was gravel flying all over the sky, smoke covering an area, and the bodies of ninjas who died tragically.
an hour ago.
This is within the Kingdom of Wind.
Just when Aramaki was fighting against the Konoha Ninja Village alone in the Fire Country.
Here, the nearly 6,000 ninja coalition led by Ai and Hanzo, consisting of Kumogakure, Yugakure, Kusagakure, and Takigakure, have also arrived in the sandy area near Loulan.
This place is located at the southern end of the Kingdom of Wind, less than ten kilometers from the coast.
But it is far away from the Kingdom of Rain, almost half of the Kingdom of Wind needs to be crossed by the sea of sand.
So even though Iwagakure and Sunagakure were extremely anxious, they finally arrived here after passing through the vast sea of sand.
The desert night is quiet.
The incredibly clean starry sky is filled with dense starlight, forming a beautiful and shining Milky Way.
There are also golden sand dunes that stretch as far as the eye can see during the day, but when you look at them now, their outlines are blurred.
But they didn't come here to enjoy these scenery.
But here to kill people.
As ninjas, Ai and Hanzo naturally dispatched three exploration teams to approach Loulan to inquire about the specific situation.
These three exploration teams come from Kumogakure, Kusagakure and Takigakure respectively, and are all configured with a jounin leading three chuunin.
As for whether the members' abilities and qualities are similar, everyone has their own opinions.
soon.
These three teams each chose a direction to quickly rush out of the coalition camp.
"Please be serious. Through this mission, we must let those guys in Kumogakure and Kusakure know that we are not the only ones who can handle the Heroic Water!"
Okuyama Ninja, the captain of the Taki Ninja Team, turned towards the three subordinates behind him and gave a deep warning while heading towards Loulan Kingdom.
In the past few days, he had been holding back a lot of energy.
Those guys from Kusagakure always say that their Takigakure village can get the Nanao and stay out of every ninja war, just relying on the water of heroism to please the five major nations.
Although it is true, it sounds harsh.
Because in the hearts of these Taki ninjas, their own ninja village can be said to be the strongest ninja village among the five major countries, and occasionally it is said that it is the sixth strongest ninja village.
The source of such confidence is, of course, the Seven-Tails given to them by the First Hokage.
If they weren't very strong, why would the legendary 'God of the Ninja World' choose them?
Not to mention that Taki Ninja Village also produced a strong man who escaped unharmed after a fierce battle with the First Hokage.
Although that strong man was a hateful rebellious ninja who killed all the high-ranking officials at that time and also took away the secret technique "Earth Resentment Yu" that was regarded as a treasure in the village.
But this is enough to illustrate that their Taki-nin's strength is still very impressive!
As for the other great secret treasure, ‘Water of Heroes’.
They are just reciprocal gifts to other big countries as the same 'big country' that owns tailed beasts.
Don’t people exchange weapons, food, detonating charms and other resources from family property every time?
So what does a small shinobi village like Kusagakure know?
But this time, I can also show off a little bit and let Kusagakure, as well as the people of Yugakure and Kumogakure, see what the strength of the 'Sixth Great Ninja Village' is!
Soon.
Nin Okuyama and the other three chunin maintained the effect of the invisibility technique and quietly approached a sentry tower that was blooming with bright light.
There are also soldiers in black with guns on it, using a searchlight to scan the surrounding dark desert from time to time.
Seeing this, the four people dispersed in tacit agreement.
Ninja Okuyama was responsible for killing the soldiers at the top, while the other three followed the instructions and broke into the guard tower from different directions to kill other soldiers who might be inside.
It's just that they don't have the ability to roll their eyes.
They didn't notice at all that a pair of sharp eyes were scanning the area where they were located under the sand layer about a hundred meters away, and at the same time, a dark gun muzzle poked out.
"There are four people in total. The one with the strongest aura is obviously going to attack Donnie at the top. You should find an opportunity to kill him. Don't worry about the other three."
"Donnie, did you hear that? Be careful. He is already below you, and of course I am behind you."
at the same time.
Two deep voices sounded from the sniper's headset hidden under the sand.
No one answered, but no one cared.
The atmosphere had already become tense unconsciously.
Due to the previous incident of Minato Namikaze, Choza Akimichi and others sneaking into the city and taking Queen Sara of Loulan away, the World Government has already strengthened the configuration of these outer sentinel towers.
It’s nothing.
In fact, each outer sentry tower is assigned a master who can use the Haki of Knowledge.
Since there are many people who can arm Se Haki, but few can read and understand Haki, the Army Headquarters can only second some personnel from CIPHER POL.
As for why they don’t borrow it from the Navy and Air Force, which are both part of the military, then you have to ask Marshal Raymond~
In the face of these arrogant figures, the ordinary invisibility techniques and even transformation techniques of the ninjas have little effect except to confuse the naked eye.
Because even the breath of ordinary people is like a flame in the perception of these masters.
Not to mention these more powerful ninjas, each one is just like a burning torch.
Unless you are sleeping, it is difficult not to notice.
【Whoosh!】
"careful!"
The Okuyama ninja sneaked under the sentry tower and leaned against the wall of the tower.
With the killing intent in his eyes, he clenched the kunai in his hand and launched an attack on the gun-wielding soldier above.
Urgent warning sounds also sounded in the ears of Doni soldiers.
This made him, who was well prepared, use his fastest hand speed so far under the threat of death, and draw out the long black sheath knife on his back.
Breath of inflammation, three types, all phenomena of Qi and inflammation! 牏
Since there was no time to say this, he could only live it over in his mind.
In an instant.
The blade slashed from top to bottom, and a ball of fiery red flame emerged. With a clang of metal, he luckily stopped the sharp kunai that was stabbing his throat.
This made Okuyama Shinobi's pupils shrink.
He didn't expect that his assassination attack would be taken over by a mere soldier.
But a jounin is a jounin after all.
Because the intelligence clearly stated that the elements produced by the sword skills of these black soldiers were harmless phantoms, so he turned a blind eye to the flames coming towards him.
But the second the blades collided, a shuriken flashing with cold light shot out from his left hand.
At this time, Donnie, who was a private first class in the Army Headquarters, could not react at all.
Follow normal development.
He would have had his throat slit by a shuriken, holding his bleeding neck, watching helplessly as the opponent passed over him, rushed into the guard tower behind him, and then died miserably.
It's just that such a brave soldier deserves more favor.
【Ding!】
Just when the shuriken was about to pierce his throat, a slender white finger appeared and flicked it away. At the same time, Donnie's whole body was pulled back by a force.
【clang!】
The Okuyama ninja who had jumped to the top of the sentry tower was surprised to see the kunai in his right hand being held tightly by the fingers of the other hand by the man in black who suddenly appeared in front of him.
next second
Shinobu Okuyama noticed that his throat was once again the target of the man in black's left index finger.
This made him subconsciously exert force on his legs and jump back into the air from the top of the sentry tower he had just come up from. While avoiding the opponent's attack, he also began to quickly form seals with his hands.
"Wind escape. Wind..."
Although as a Taki nin, he is actually better at water escape, but this is a desert, and if you use it forcefully, you can only use a glass of water at most.
Therefore, Okuyama Ninja can only choose his second attribute ninjutsu, Wind Release.
【boom!】
But just when he was about to complete the hand seal, he even raised his hand to his mouth, ready to spit out a powerful wind blade to chop up the man in black and the soldiers behind him.
I suddenly felt severe pain in my head, and the sound of gunshots I had never heard before came to my ears.
Eventually the whole world fell into darkness.
And from the outside world.
His whole head exploded in the air like an exploding watermelon.
Immediately afterwards, his body, together with the red and white liquid splashing all over the sky, fell on the cold yellow sand below. It can be said that the end was extremely tragic.
at the same time.
Under the guard tower, the three Takigakure chuunin were also fighting against the four army soldiers who rushed out from the guard tower.
One of the unlucky chunin was forced to do so.
I am still very confident in my physical skills, and I have to fight my opponents in close combat.
The result was that after blocking two attacks, he still died from the Wind Breath 2-type Claw Kodo Kaze.
The whole person was cut into several sections by the green claw-shaped wind blade.
You must know that the army soldiers of these main battle legions are elites selected from thousands of people.
The lowest rank in the military is lieutenant.
It may not be said that they are very strong in other aspects, but the Chuunin of Takigakure Village are just asking for their own death in a hand-to-hand fight with them.
The other two chuunin were frightened when they saw this scene and quickly distanced themselves away.
"Clone Technique!"
"Illusion!"
One created three phantom clones for himself, and the other used D-level illusions to disrupt the minds of the army soldiers who were attacking with swords.
That is at this time.
The sound of the sniper gun that killed the Okuyama Ninja rang out with a 'bang', causing the two people who subconsciously looked up to look up, and their expressions suddenly changed with shock.
"team leader!"
"team leader!"
But they did not notice that as the distance between the two sides widened, two army soldiers on the opposite side immediately stopped their pursuit and directly raised the heavy assault rifles on their chests.
[Da da da da...]
Hot tongues of fire spit out from the muzzle.
In the blink of an eye, the two Chuunin of Taki Ninja Village were beaten into a sieve, and those phantoms also disappeared one after another in the face of the strafing fire.
But just as the gunfire stopped here, dense gunfire rang out again in the distance.
Apparently other guard towers were also attacked by ninjas.
Ten minutes.
A figure with blood spilled along the way rushed into the command tent of the ninja alliance in embarrassment.
This made Ai, Hanzo, and the representative jonin of Kusagakure and Takigakure who were waiting for the news suddenly stand up and look towards them.
"Go to the island!"
Ai was shocked to see the jounin he sent out holding his bleeding abdomen and appearing in front of him with a face full of pain.
"Master Ai, the opponent has been prepared for a long time. Not only are there hidden sentient ninjas who can detect our invisibility skills in the sentry tower, but they also ambush secret sentries outside the sentry tower who use firearms to snipe... Ugh!"
After finally telling the information, the ninja on the island died immediately.
"this!"
Ai rushed in front of him and supported his fallen body. He was shocked to see an extremely terrifying blood hole appearing behind the Uijima Ninja.
After all, he was hit in the abdomen by a sniper rifle and the fact that he could hold on until he came back was all thanks to the magic of chakra.
"It seems that sneaking in is not feasible."
Hanzo walked over and didn't care about the sacrifices of these ninjas, and looked indifferently in the direction of Loulan.
"Then we can only attack head-on, clean up the opponent's outer sentry towers, and attack the city with a large army!"
A few hours later.
When the sky in the desert is just getting dark.
Nearly a thousand vanguard troops composed of Kusagakure and Takigakure immediately dispatched, pressing towards the few lonely sentry towers like a torrent.
But they were all prepared to dodge gun attacks, but they never heard a gunshot.
"No one is in all the watchtowers?"
When Hanzo heard the report, he sneered and said: "Yes, I do have some brains. It seems that they had already evacuated last night. That's fine, just go and fight!"
"really."
After hearing this, Ai nodded in approval, and then said fiercely:
"Then let's go. It would be fine if the other party didn't do anything to my father, but if it is... I will completely destroy Loulan and kill all the creatures in it!"
Hanzo smiled slightly: "Okay, I will do my best to help you."
Now that he has obtained these two tails, he is in a good mood and is happy to help Ai realize her wish.
Just massacre a city, his method is really simple.
But they didn't realize that Yahiko behind them had an expression of extreme reluctance when he heard this.
At the same time, he decided in his heart that when the city was really going to be massacred, he would have to stop it, even if he offended Hanzo and might even lose his life.
But Yahiko also has worries in his heart, that is, Nagato and Konan are behind him...
This put him in a dilemma.
But no matter what.
The 6,000 ninja coalition forces of Yugakure, Yugakure, Kusakure and Takigakure have begun to rush towards Loulan Kingdom in a mighty manner.
The densely packed figures of ninjas are very spectacular when viewed from above.
And in front of them.
At some point, gray-white bunker buildings and two long trenches appeared on the yellow desert.
One of them, an army soldier wearing a black combat uniform, was holding a heavy assault rifle in his arms and was waiting.
And further behind them.
Fifty dark heavy howitzers have been lined up in a row, pointing their long barrels straight into the sky.
"fire!"
"Fire!"
"fire!"
As the artillery captains roared one after another, the thick and long muzzles of the guns erupted with fierce flames.
At the same time, under the powerful recoil force, the entire gun body shook backwards, forming a violent air wave that rolled up the surrounding yellow sand and spread out.
A few kilometers away, there were Ai, Hanzo, Yahiko and thousands of other ninjas.
First they heard a sharp whistle from the sky, and before they could react, violent explosions began to appear one after another in the huge team.
Ball after ball of fire soaring into the sky swallowed up the surrounding ninjas who were caught off guard in the blink of an eye.
Even the ninjas who were luckier, but were still not far enough away, were blown away by the terrifying explosion shock wave.
this day.
The ninjas in the ninja world have seen what it means to strike from a cluster of heavy artillery beyond visual range...
