Chapter 710 The air strike begins!
Late at night, the cold moonlight shines down.
The Land of Fire, Izumo Castle.
It is only a few kilometers away from the castle tower boundary.
There are three 100-meter-high towers in the city.
Clearly, these things did not exist a month ago.
Empty tower!
It was made at the last minute.
Normally, it would take a year, let alone a month, to build a giant tower that is hundreds of meters high.
But if there is 'ninjutsu', that's another story.
If the Rock Ninjas who are professional earth escape artists work together, they can quickly build several tall towers.
Ninjas usually don't use ninjutsu on construction, simply because it's unnecessary and because it might collapse after Chak disperses.
However, if the framework is built in advance and then a strong person who is proficient in earth escape takes action, it is not impossible to do this.
Of course, the consumption is definitely not low.
Several empty towers in the city of Izumo Castle belong to this category.
However, this kind of temporary building cannot be used for a long time. It may collapse on its own after a period of time. After all, it is a temporary construction.
And this period of time is what the coalition forces want.
at this time.
One by one, figures carrying hang gliders poured into the tower.
Apart from the trestles that extend forward from the top of the tower, the rest of the place is filled with basketball-sized porcelain jars, and a pungent odor can be smelled from time to time.
A Chunin wearing a Konoha forehead protector and a pineapple-shaped hairstyle shouted to the figures pushing the hang gliders:
"Everyone, pay attention. After you throw all the black oil in your hands, you can return to refill it!"
He is a Chunin from the Nara clan sent by Konoha to organize the air raid plan.
Each of the three armies was responsible for an area.
The hang gliders they use here are produced in the Fire Nation.
A combat range of at least nearly 100 kilometers is not a problem at all (the Ninja world’s technology is worth having).
As for the dangers during the operation?
Sorry, that's not on the table.
The ninja world has little of everything except people. If someone dies, just let the backup take over.
In fact, as long as these people can drop the black oil, they are worth their money. If they can fly back to carry out a second attack, it will be a huge profit.
Wow!
Amid the sound of rolling pulleys, a warrior pushed forward a delta wing several meters wide and took off into the air.
The hang glider made of special materials may not be technically advanced, but the material is really top-notch, and the effect is even better than those finely crafted ones before Tang Ping traveled through time.
That is to say, there is no chakra core, anti-gravity barrier... and other technologies, otherwise the combat range would be hundreds or thousands of kilometers, and the number of black oil tanks carried at the same time would not be limited to just a few.
There is more than one pier on the sky tower, and using multiple piers at the same time can greatly increase the flying unit's take-off speed.
Wow!
One after another, hang gliders took off and flew southward toward the castle tower.
The leader was a Konoha jonin who was proficient in wind escape techniques.
The ninjas of the Nara clan were in charge of command, and he was in charge of execution.
A wind-style ninja shouldn't have too many advantages when hang gliding.
It is precisely because of the change in the war mode that the sky has become a battlefield, which has increased the importance of wind-style ninjas.
Above the densely packed flying troops were large airships.
These are the real main force of air strikes!
If it were just flying troops, the destructive effect that could be caused would not be too exaggerated.
But if dozens or hundreds of airships loaded with black oil attack together, it will definitely cause greater damage.
After flying a few kilometers south from Izumo Castle, you will enter the area controlled by the castle tower.
on the ground.
Thanks to the "Sunshine Tower", people can see the ground clearly even at night and will not get lost.
The most frightening thing about flying at night is getting lost.
There is no such thing as a 'navigation system' in the ninja world.
Make your own way!
I wonder how many people have uttered this exclamation when looking down at the Rihui Tower below.
After flying for more than ten kilometers, we could see lush fruit trees, golden rice seedlings, wide grasslands, warehouses, etc. "Tonight, let the fire burn the castle tower and let this guy who doesn't know his own strength understand how stupid it is to be our enemy!"
The leading wind-style jonin shouted, then threw down the black oil on both sides.
After the porcelain jar fell from hundreds of meters high and hit the ground.
Snapped!
The black oil inside splashed, and then a flame lit up.
tumultuous!!
Fierce flames rose up, directly igniting the area within ten meters around.
Ninjas may not be good at studying economic by-products, but they are absolutely excellent when it comes to enhancing the war effect of black oil.
Because ninja is not a research profession, but a profession born for fighting.
After research by several major ninja villages, they all came up with plans to improve the black oil.
The black oil used this time is excellent in terms of diffusion and adhesion.
Moreover, it is autumn now and the rice is in the harvest season. If this move is made, it will further hit the food reserves of the castle tower.
Cruel!
This tactic and timing are worthy of this evaluation.
If the number is small, this tactic will have no effect, but if the number of flying troops in the tens of thousands and dozens of airships attack at the same time, the effect will be extremely terrifying.
The area outside the castle tower was set on fire.
The destruction of vast tracts of fertile land is extremely shocking.
Just overnight.
The coalition forces gave the castle tower a "painful" lesson.
Naturally, news of the battle spread quickly.
After all, everyone is paying attention to this Ninja World War now, and any information can be known first.
The next day!
A castle several hundred kilometers north of Izumo Castle.
At this time, this place has become the central army command center and is also the stationing place of Konoha troops.
In a large-scale war, it is naturally impossible to just kill your way through like in a small-group fight.
There are objectives, logistics, tactics, etc. to consider.
Anyway, the army in the middle lane, with more than 10,000 ninjas, monks, etc., are all resting here.
As for the foot soldiers, samurai, and other troops, their efficiency certainly cannot be compared with that of the ninjas, so they have just set out, and it will take at least half a month to get here.
Don't think this is slow.
This is because we have airships, which are extremely convenient means of transportation. If not, the time would at least double.
A flag representing the Fire Nation is flying on the castle.
Jiraiya personally led Konoha into the battle this time, and he was joined by Tsunade, Asuma Sarutobi, Nara Shikaku, Yamanaka Inoichi, Akimichi Choza, Inuzuka Hana... and others.
The two advisory elders did not come!
After all, the village needs someone to take charge, so letting these fakes stay in the rear is the best option.
Well, now thanks to the book ‘My Struggle’, everyone understands how incompetent these two advisory elders are.
It is definitely a model of 'I can do it too'.
After knowing all this, Jiraiya would have to be crazy to keep these two people around.
But Tsunade, Nara Shikaku, Asuma... are different. Not only are they capable, but they are also strong in combat. They are definitely the best helpers.
Although Tsunade was somewhat shaken by her last exchange with Dohei, she still chose to stand on the side of Konoha in this battle.
"Hahaha, the outer area of the castle tower has been completely destroyed by the black oil. Shikaku, your plan is really good!"
Jiraiya's heroic voice echoed in the spacious castle hall.
"Thank you for the compliment, Hokage-sama. This is what I should do!"
Nara Shikaku stood in front of a hanging map and answered calmly.
The air raid plan was planned by him personally, which indeed allowed him to bring into play his abilities, but it also meant that he could easily be targeted by the castle tower.
So his mood was a mixture of joy and sorrow.
"Next, it's my turn to take action!"
Jiraiya's eyes were full of fighting spirit.
Now Uchiha Douping was seriously injured and had no way of fighting. Even if he did, he would not be his opponent.
Not to mention, this time the Konoha army is not just them, there are also powerful "reinforcements"! .
This time he will avenge the toads that died in the battle of Myoboku Mountain and make Dohei and the castle tower pay the price.
