Sky Ninja Attack
Dawn Organization?
Kazashiro carefully put the letter away, looking at the honest man in front of him with amusement.
Kisame looked back at Kazashiro without flinching.
Whether it was a misperception or not, Kisame saw the shadow of his Fourth Mizukage in the other person.
They all looked like young boys, with equally exquisite features.
The only difference is that the Fourth Mizukage usually has a serious and unsmiling demeanor, and is neither humble nor arrogant when facing elders Genji, leaving no room for criticism.
On the other hand, this Hokage--
Kisame didn't know how to describe Kazashiro's attitude towards things; the other party's every move didn't give off any sense of the imposing presence one would expect from someone in a superior position.
Maruboshi Kosuke unusually left his large iron pot at home and walked alone with his hands behind his back in the gathering place set up for the test takers at the Mount Kikyo base.
Kazashiro was drawn to the other party's reputation Eternal Genin and hoped that he could use the exam as a pretext to investigate whether there were any unstable elements among the candidates.
After all, the Chunin Ninja Exams in Hokage are always accompanied by all sorts of things. Sometimes it's Orochimaru falling from the sky, and sometimes it's some unknown Ōtsutsuki passing by by chance.
Faced with such a request, Maruboshi Kosuke naturally had no choice but to agree.
Kirigakure, Sunagakure, Kusagakure, Takigakure, Artisan Ninja Village...
Observing the ninjas from various villages discreetly, Maruboshi Kosuke leisurely arrived at the examination hall.
"Everything seems normal so far, hopefully this will be a smooth exam."
Maruboshi Kosuke had high hopes for this exam, but things obviously didn't go as he expected.
Somewhere in the sea Land of Fire.
Several strangely shaped, enormous ships were anchored at sea, their flat decks filled with Sky Ninja dressed in bizarre equipment.
"The Chunin Ninja Exams should have already begun. Konoha's attention is entirely focused on the Mount Kikyo stronghold, making this the perfect opportunity to launch a surprise attack."
Shinno delivered a pre-battle speech on the island superstructure.
"Gentlemen, now is the perfect time for Konoha to pay for the Second Shinobi World War. The fate of the Sky Ninja rests on this!"
Encouraged, the Sky Ninja raised their heads and shouted, "Long live! Long live! Long live!"
Amidst shouts, the Sky Ninja accelerated their gliding along the deck, finally soaring into the sky the instant their feet left the deck.
The densely packed Sky Ninja, like a swarm of locusts, rushed into the area covered by Konoha's barrier.
The moment the barrier was breached, the members of the Barrier Team sensed their presence and hurriedly got up to send someone to report the news to the higher-ups.
"An enemy has broken through the barrier; number... unknown!"
Witnessing the Sky Ninja's actions, the Snow Ninja Trio, positioned on the other side, launched a shameless sneak attack while the attention of a four-person Konoha squad was completely diverted.
Ice Release: Swallow Snowfall!
Tsurugi Hyōga launched the first attack, and a dense swarm of Ice Swallows engulfed the Chunin who had no time to react.
Ice Release?
Just as the Konoha Ninja had narrowly escaped the attack was about to retaliate, some of the Ice Swallows that had missed their mark suddenly veered off course and pierced straight through his chest.
"What? I thought I'd run into some tough opponents, but it turns out he's not even as good as Kakashi, is he?"
As the last Konoha Ninja was defeated, Tsurugi Hyōga with one hand on her hip, disdainfully stepping on the head of one of the corpses.
As she looked around to see if there were any other enemies, the Sky Ninja who had arrived above Konoha began dropping Chakra bombs on the area where people were gathered.
This is a mechanical bomb manufactured based on blueprints provided by the Dawn Organization. The outer shell is circular, and as it is dropped from a great height, the outer shell mechanism unfolds due to gravity, releasing the small bombs inside.
As the bomb drew closer to the ground, the Sky Ninja began to smirk. They seemed to envision the devastation that would ravage Konoha, and had already sentenced those within the bomb's reach to death.
"Chill?"
It's unclear which of the Sky Ninja was the first to notice something was wrong.
Feeling increasingly strained from flying, the Sky Ninja laboriously turned his neck, only to discover that his entire body was covered in a thin layer of ice crystals.
"Ice Release: Super Ice Rock Dome Nothingness!"
Although we don't know exactly what the Sky Ninja dropped, even a fool could guess it wasn't some treasure.
Kazashiro had no time to worry about Chakra consumption and quickly constructed a solid defensive line using a large number of ice crystals.
Upon impact with the ice wall, the bomb exploded violently, scattering ice crystals everywhere, but there was no sign of collapse.
"Ice Release: Piercing Duke!"
Using the ice wall built in mid-air, Kazashiro formed hand seals and controlled sharp ice spears to attack the sky Sky Ninja.
Hindered by the cold wind, the Sky Ninja, whose movements were no longer agile, were pierced one by one, and their originally dense formation was disrupted.
"It's the Fifth Generation! Everyone, charge!"
Upon seeing Kazashiro's signature Ice Release, the ninjas who had rushed to the scene immediately displayed high morale, each using their best skills to help Kazashiro deal with the aerial Sky Ninja.
"Lord Hokage, please leave the rest to us."
A two-man guard team appeared, tasked with protecting Kazashiro's safety, and tried to keep Kazashiro away from the front-line area.
"Stay vigilant! The enemy can't possibly only have these methods!"
Kazashiro didn't agree to their request; his mind started racing.
He didn't recognize the Sky Ninja, so he didn't know which faction had sent them.
More importantly, he still didn't know what the other party's purpose was.
"Notify the Military Police Force to be on high alert and prevent anyone from sneaking into the village!"
Based on his own judgment, Kazashiro issued a rather wise order.
Almost at the same moment he gave the order, a wall of blazing fire erupted at the west end of the village, and several figures could be vaguely seen being blasted into the air.
The four-person group consisting of Uchiha Yao Mei, Fuyuan, Fufeng, Fudō also launched an attack at this moment.
Confronting them was Military Police Force comprised of Uchiha Tekka and others.
"Come to think of it, this is my third attack on Konoha. Last time, I took the Fourth Hokage away for Konoha, and this time—"
Using the Dojutsu in his eyes, Yaowan walked freely among the crowd.
Looking at the nearly completed Kage Rock by Kazashiro, a cruel smile appeared on his lips.
"Well, I can come find you after I've finished dealing with things at the Research Bureau."
"Yao Mei, you traitor!"
Barely dodging Yakumei's Fire Style, Tekka's Three Tomoe Sharingan were filled with grief and indignation as he looked at the several charred corpses at his feet.
"The law of the jungle prevails; this is the age-old rule of the Shinobi World."
Yao Mei's expression did not change at all because the person killed was one of his own people. On the contrary, he strode forward, ready to kill Tekka before he could even get a foothold.
