Sniper Kill

"It's really difficult to sneak past, isn't it? We can't even get all hundred of us to sneak past quietly, right? But we don't necessarily have to sneak past!" Yueguang Han said, shaking his head at the remark. "As long as we can get within 150 meters of their stronghold, that's enough. It doesn't matter how we get there, how we approach, or if we're discovered."

"Han, kid, we really can't get this many people to sneak past quietly. Since we can't avoid being discovered, why don't you tell us your plan first?" Yueguang Xingye asked, hearing Yueguang Han's words.

"The most stable method is to attack directly and force them out of their stronghold, then wait for them to come find us," Yueguang Han said immediately.

"No." Hearing this, Yueguang Xingye shook his head and rejected Yueguang Han's tactic without a second thought. Yueguang Han's statement was essentially saying nothing, and was even worse than saying nothing. Yueguang Xingye even began to worry about Yueguang Han's ability to formulate strategies.

Although Yueguang Han's Bloodline Limit was very powerful, and he desperately wanted to train Yueguang Han into a strong ninja capable of fighting independently, this kind of operational plan was not the most stable method at all; it was the most dangerous method.

This was abandoning their advantage of hiding in the shadows and directly exposing their presence. Moreover, this was Sand Shinobi's home turf, and the surroundings were filled with Sand Shinobi traps. By the time the Sand Shinobi found them, they would surely be prepared and extremely cautious. Coupled with the presence of multiple sensory ninja on the enemy side, luring them out and ambushing them would be basically impossible. It might even backfire, putting them in a passive position and getting them surrounded by the Sand Shinobi.

The other Jonin also looked at Yueguang Han with disappointment. They were all starting to feel disappointed in Yueguang Han's tactical planning ability. Luring tactics were indeed effective, but they also depended on the situation. To utter such a practically useless statement, Yueguang Han was indeed still just a twelve-year-old Genin, possessing a powerful Bloodline Limit but lacking sufficient experience.

In fact, when the Jonin accepted this mission, they had already learned from Orochimaru that Yueguang Han would be the main attacker for this operation. They also knew that Yueguang Han had awakened a very powerful Bloodline Limit and had even achieved great merit, killing nearly two hundred enemy ninja. Orochimaru highly valued Yueguang Han's Bloodline Limit and even intended to use it to capture this Sand Shinobi stronghold. This operation was born out of this very reason.

However, Yueguang Han's operational plan still left them extremely disappointed. He even claimed it was the most stable method.

Seeing everyone's gazes, Yueguang Han added, "To capture this stronghold, we don't necessarily have to get close to their stronghold. As long as we kill their ninja, it's equivalent to capturing the stronghold. And for us to hold this place, we don't need to stay in that stronghold, or even in this valley. The core of our mission has always been to prevent the Sand Shinobi from passing through here. With this mission objective in mind, we don't even need to capture this stronghold."

"That's true," Yueguang Xingye nodded upon hearing this. "But I don't agree with your plan. You haven't fully considered the current situation and environment."

"My operational plan is very simple. Since we can't sneak to within 150 meters of their stronghold, we'll just make a move directly," Yueguang Han insisted, raising his right hand and transforming it into a Bullet, resting it on a nearby tree. He supported his right hand with his left, spreading his feet apart to prepare for the recoil. This posture would ensure precise long-range sniping. (The Tech Template came with corresponding mastery skills.)

"Attack directly... wait, Han, kid, this is already over seven hundred meters from the Sand Shinobi stronghold down the mountain. It's too far, and your plan is completely unfeasible. Let's discuss the tactics first, and you can follow our arrangements." Seeing Yueguang Han preparing to attack directly, Yueguang Xingye quickly reached out and placed his hand on Yueguang Han's shoulder, stopping him. Direct attack was the worst tactic, it couldn't even be called a tactic; it was recklessness. Moreover, at such a long distance, this was simply signaling the enemy.

"Han, kid, your plan won't work. Let us Jonin discuss the operational plan. After we've discussed it, you just follow our arrangements," Yueguang Xingye said.

The other Jonin also nodded in agreement. They had already excluded Yueguang Han from the discussion.

"What if I can hit at this distance and kill them!" Yueguang Han said confidently, hearing everyone's doubtful words. "Seven hundred meters, this distance makes it easier for me to succeed. When they get within 150 meters, I'll have ways to deal with them. You just don't understand my abilities."

After speaking, Yueguang Han fired directly.

"Bang!" A loud gunshot echoed through the forest, reverberating. A flash of crimson light flickered and vanished. The 0.50 caliber bullet tore through the air at a speed of 930 meters per second, streaking rapidly above the trees towards the Sand Shinobi stronghold.

"Ugh..."

Hearing the loud gunshot, everyone froze. Many were startled by the sudden loud noise. Several Jonin glared angrily at Yueguang Han.

"Bang bang bang bang..." However, before the Jonin could say anything, four consecutive loud gunshots rang out.

"Maki, your practice isn't right. I'll teach you again."

Inside the Sand Shinobi stronghold in the valley, looking at the three disciples diligently practicing Ninjutsu, the Sand Shinobi Jonin Qian Ce smiled and spoke to the boy on the far right who had half his face covered with white cloth. This was his most talented and hardworking disciple.

"Okay, Mas... " Hearing that his teacher was going to teach him again, the boy, who was practicing a new Ninjutsu, immediately stopped and looked at his teacher excitedly.

"Pfft!"

"Tea..." However, before he could finish his sentence, his teacher's head in front of him seemed to have been smashed by something. Mutilated flesh, blood, and brain matter splattered everywhere, even splashing onto the white cloth covering his face.

"Pfft...!" Before he could even react to his teacher's death, a fist-sized bloody hole appeared in the chest of a companion beside him who was looking at him enviously. The person was sent flying directly.

"Pfft...!" In less than a second, his other companion's arm instantly exploded, and the arm flew out.

"Ah!" Piercing screams erupted in the camp. The severed-arm boy clutched his broken limb, wailing in pain.

"Bang!" It was only then that the first gunshot finally reached the Sand Shinobi stronghold, causing all the Sand Shinobi in the stronghold to stop what they were doing.

"Enemy attack...!" A cry rang out behind the young ninja Maki. A Sand Shinobi, who had witnessed the death of Maki's companion and teacher, shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Bang!" "Pfft!" However, before the Sand Shinobi's shout could even finish, the second gunshot entered the stronghold, and the fifth bullet pierced his throat, cutting off his cry abruptly.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Following that, three more consecutive gunshots reached the stronghold.

"Enemy attack!"

It was only then that the Sand Shinobi's shouts finally erupted throughout the entire Sand Shinobi stronghold. The Sand Shinobi in the stronghold quickly looked in the direction of the gunshots, but the distance was too great, and they couldn't see anything at all.
