Information Confirmed

Under the blue sky and beside the emerald sea, six Sky Ninja warships were anchored near the coast.

They had just dispatched everyone to carry out the plan to destroy Konoha.

Only a small number of operators remained aboard the warships.

A Sky Ninja named Kawashima was in charge of matters aboard the ships.

When scattered Sky Ninja began flying back, Kawashima was stunned.

"Yingren, why are only a few of you back?"

Yingren, who had just attacked Konoha, wore a defeated expression, his eyes filled with emptiness and pain.

"They're gone, they're all gone..."

Without even removing his gear, Yingren collapsed to his knees. He had not suffered any serious injuries.

But one of his comrades had been blown into pieces by Explosive Tags right in front of him, utterly shattering his resolve.

"What do you mean, gone!?"

Yingren seemed to have gone stupid, kneeling on the ground and muttering to himself.

Kawashima panicked. He stepped before Yingren and slapped him several times in succession.

"Slap! Slap! Slap...!"

Yingren's face was reddened from the slaps, but he quickly came to his senses.

When he saw Kawashima standing before him, he immediately cried, "Kawashima, everyone's dead."

"Konoha's defenses were too strong. Their formation sealed off the sky itself. No one could return—we could only be trapped to death inside Konoha."

"My position was near the edge, so I wasn't caught inside it. That was the only reason I managed to escape."

Yingren broke down and wept on the ground.

Kawashima, meanwhile, was left reeling from the blow.

The Sky Ninja were not idiots. They naturally knew that Konoha was immensely powerful, and they would not have sought revenge without some degree of confidence.

That confidence came from the fact that ordinary people could not possibly reach an altitude
