Chapter 449: Ninja Tools that Bring Change!
Wow!

Steel warships weighing more than a thousand tons appeared in the north of the Crab Island, seemingly cutting through the aftermath of the tsunami like sharp blades.

The "Scorching Sun Flags" on the warships further illustrate their identities.

The blazing sun flag!
It is also the flag of the castle tower's Fiery Sun Fleet.

Now is not the time to completely draw a line with Konoha, so we cannot change the name directly, but some small actions are naturally not a problem.

For example, getting people used to the Sun Flag.

The flag has a black background with gold patterns and a golden sun painted on it.

Domineering and fiery!
I get that feeling just by looking at the flag.

There are only a dozen steel battleships in total, which is about one-tenth of the Mist Ninja Fleet.

But sometimes, combat effectiveness is not about quantity and size, especially when there is a generation gap in technology between the two sides.

In the Mist Ninja Fleet!
"Is that the Fiery Sun Fleet?"

Nagai Takaomi glanced across the island and looked at the dozen or so black-dot steel warships in the distance, with a glimmer of longing in his eyes.

Steel battleship!

If the castle tower had not been taken out, the major forces would not have known that ships could be made of steel.

Although it looks easy, even the Water Country has not built one.

It’s not a technical problem!
The most difficult part of making the Iron Battleship is the idea. Now that we have a template, we can just copy it.

The difficulty lies in the materials!
To build a steel battleship, you need a huge amount of steel.

In the Water Kingdom, however, steel production is simply a huge pit, and there is little hope of purchasing so much steel.

In places like the Fire Nation, it is not a problem to get enough steel to manufacture it. The key is that there are problems with the technology, plus various other reasons. Therefore, even though steel battleships have appeared for several years, no force has yet made them.

This was true even though they knew the huge advantages that steel battleships had at sea.

Nagai Takaomi is very clear about these advantages, which is why he is so eager for steel battleships.

"Captain Nagai, do we need to send someone to destroy those warships?"

A Mist Ninja asked.

Ordinary ninjas have a good opinion of the Iron Battleship, but that's all (the information about the battle for the mining area was blocked).

"Ok!"

Nagai Takaomi nodded.

Although he didn't think these steel warships could cause much impact, it did not prevent him from eliminating this hidden danger first.

So, three hundred Mist Ninjas stood out from the crowd, walked on the sea, bypassed the Crab Island, and headed straight for the steel battleship behind.

The reason why the ninjas did not feel that the battleships posed a threat to them was precisely because they could 'tread water'.

The sea was as smooth as flat ground for them, allowing them to quickly approach the warships and then kill all the people on board or directly destroy the ships.

Even steel battleships cannot withstand this tactic.

But if there were ninjas on the iron battleship, that would be a different story.

Ninjas jumped off from more than a dozen steel battleships.

Among them are even Kage-level powerhouses like Yamama Koji and Ye Cang.

With this team here, protecting the fleet is not a problem at all.

Of course, the real purpose of this fleet is to build a 'defense line' to prevent the Mist Ninja from crossing here.

Because the real killer weapon is right behind us.

Dozens of kilometers to the north.

Nearly a hundred ships were floating on the sea, surrounding a few huge steel battleships in the center like stars surrounding the moon.

Aircraft carrier!

An aircraft carrier of tens of thousands of tons is much larger than the dozen or so steel battleships of around a thousand tons in front.

At this time, the aircraft carrier was extremely busy.

A large number of craftsmen were checking various places and preparing equipment for the attack.

Flying machine!
A triangular-shaped device with a hanger and pulley at the bottom.

In the past, the air ninjas relied entirely on chakra to perform the "strong and powerful brick flying" trick.

But after being improved by Dohei, the design is more in line with "aerodynamics". If it is at high altitude, it can maintain gliding for a long time even without using chakra. The consumption is more than ten times less than before. At the same time, there are qualitative improvements in maneuverability and agility.

The biggest change of this improved "flying machine" or "aircraft" is that ordinary people can use it.

In the past, it required air ninjas to use it. Because wind escape was used to control the aircraft, without chakra, a metal aircraft would not be able to take off.

But Tang Ping's reforms were completely earth-shaking.

Not only has the appearance changed, but the material has also changed from metal to mainly "fiber", which directly reduces the weight greatly. Otherwise, it would not be able to glide in the air.

At the same time, this fiber can also carry the flow of chakra, so it can draw an 'anti-gravity barrier'.

Although it is not as exaggerated as the Sky Fortress, once activated, it can instantly make the aircraft and the person lighter than a feather.

When the weight is greatly reduced, the maneuverability and agility will be terribly improved.

However, what should ordinary people do if they want to use these functions but don't have chakra?

Of course it's the 'Chakra Core'.

Something that can temporarily store 'chakra'.

To be honest, there are many things in the ninja world that can store chakra.

Yin seals, power armor, chakra metal… and so on.

However, there is one limitation: only the person who stores the chakra can use it.

Because chakra carries personal will, there is no such thing as anyone being able to use chakra.

But if the 'non-human' using chakra can break this limitation?

can!
Tang Ping dared to draw a conclusion.

Because he has experimented countless times.

That's why the chakra core was created.

This thing can be used as a replacement for Ninja.

With a chakra core on the aircraft, even if the user is not a ninja, he can still use wind jutsu, and the anti-gravity barrier can also be activated.

Although using a chakra core has many disadvantages compared to a real ninja.

But just being able to allow ordinary people to master chakra is already a revolutionary breakthrough.

That's why Dohei said that after this war, the war model in the ninja world will change.

Compared to ninjas, ordinary people are more numerous and they don’t feel sad if they lose one.

Exchanging ordinary people for ninjas is a huge profit, even if you exchange a hundred for one.

In the ninja world, ordinary people’s lives are not lives!
A "pilot" brought his aircraft to the highest point of the aircraft carrier. In front of him was a sloping runway that was specially used for them to "take off".

Although the original design was to use mechanical propulsion for takeoff, that was too troublesome and the waste was too serious, so Dohei improved the takeoff method.

Now the weight of the aircraft has been greatly reduced, and with the anti-gravity barrier, there is no need for the cooperation of a warship to take off.

Don't think this is unnecessary.

In this way, not only can the aircraft carrier free up a lot of space, but it can also allow the aircraft to have a larger combat range so that it will not become useless if it leaves the aircraft carrier.

"Attack!"

After a craftsman confirmed that everything was normal, he signaled to the pilot who was ready to attack.

After getting permission, the pilot pushed the triangular-shaped aircraft and began to accelerate forward with the help of the slope.

hum!
In the center of the aircraft, a black disc-shaped object began to emit a faint light.

These rays of light flowed along the vein-like pipes on the aircraft, not only greatly reducing the weight of the aircraft, but also surrounding it with wind escape.

call! !

After running less than ten meters, the aircraft took off into the air.

Each aircraft carrier has more than a dozen take-off channels. After all, the aircraft itself is not large, and the required take-off runway is not long, so there are naturally so many.

If there really was only one takeoff channel, it would take an unknown amount of time for everyone to take off.

A total of five aircraft carriers took off one after another.

The aircraft that took off first did not leave immediately, but circled in formation in the air.

after an hour.

"set off!"

Do Ping also took off in an aircraft, and then used the communicator to issue an attack order.

Following his order, 5,000 aircraft rushed towards the battlefield dozens of kilometers to the south like a swarm of bees.
