Truck Rocket Launcher, Upgraded Version, Launch

Soldiers and ninjas chatted together, dispelling the tension in their hearts.

"It's so relaxing not having to run on our own; I hope they can develop civilian versions in the Land of Whirlpools in the future."

"Well said. If there's a civilian model, I'll definitely buy one for my wife."

Uzumaki Shori, sitting atop a Weasel Tank, issued an order and formed hand seals.

"Ninja Art: Telepathic Communication Technique."

Every tank was equipped with a Chakra Communication Receiver to facilitate the reception of commands.

"Pay attention to your surroundings."

"Sensory ninjas, keep monitoring for enemies."

They drove onto the main road of the Land of the Moon.

"We have entered the enemy's controlled territory; heighten your vigilance."

"Report to the Uzukage: enemy barracks detected. Their camp layout clearly shows they are prepared for our offensive."

The enemy camp featured many sudden earthen walls; it seemed the intelligence regarding the battle with the Land of Water had already reached them, leading them to construct numerous fortifications to defend against rocket launchers.

However, the enemy's intelligence was clearly outdated.

"Notify the land-based version of the Katyusha Rocket Launcher to assemble."

Small trucks were seen driving up, their engines modified from tank engines.

The rocket launcher rails on each truck had been upgraded.

Forty-eight I-beam launch rails were arranged in four staggered rows, twelve per row, mounted on the trucks.

Ten vehicles in total lined up in a row.

"Prepare the rocket launchers. After firing, reload immediately. We will fire two volleys, totaling 960 rounds; use sheer numbers to raze them to the ground."

Uzumaki Shori used sensory ninjutsu to perceive the enemy's terrain.

"Rocket Battalion Captain Yamashita, adjust the angle to 45 degrees at two o'clock to the north. Wait for my command."

"Mission guaranteed," Rocket Battalion Captain Yamashita replied.

"Have the necessary rockets prepared in advance. After firing, reload within ten minutes. These are tasks you have trained for, do you understand?" Uzumaki Shori said, looking at everyone.

"Understood!" Everyone nimbly organized the spare rockets.

Land of the Moon camp.

A sensory ninja ran over quickly.

"Report to Lord Manxin: Land of Whirlpools forces discovered, assembling in the south, nine kilometers from our camp."

Manxin let out a hearty laugh.

"Hahaha, do you know why I am laughing?"

"The enemy's intelligence was already sent over by our King. They merely relied on a ninja tool called a rocket launcher to repel the Land of Water."

"We erected so many earthen walls in our camp precisely to defend against their rocket launchers."

Manxin walked to the window and looked at the sky, still wearing a smile. It seemed the enemy had fired their rockets.

Uzumaki Shori sensed that the wind speed was just right and shouted loudly.

"Rocket Battalion, take your positions."

"3, 2, 1."

"Fire!"

The Katyusha Rocket Launcher operators gripped the fuses and channeled fire-attribute chakra into their Chakra Gloves.

The rocket launchers stood tall on the trucks.

Forty-eight I-beam launch rails were arranged in four staggered rows.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Successive roars erupted.

A massive number of rockets ascended into the sky.

They reached the air and initiated their second-stage burst.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh."

Rocket after rocket continued to launch.

Flames from the tails of the rockets streaked across the sky.

480 rockets surged toward the Land of the Moon army camp in succession.

Manxin watched the rockets drawing closer, his heart growing increasingly tense.

The next moment, a deafening explosion reached Manxin's ears.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

But the explosions still didn't stop. The camp's earthen walls were directly hit by rocket launchers, one after another. The earthen walls couldn't block them at all.

The continuous explosions shattered and scattered.

Manxin cursed inwardly, wondering how the Land of Water had withstood the rocket launcher attacks.

In the battles of the Land of Water, Kirigakure had many ninjas. Before the rocket launchers even landed, they were detonated in mid-air by ninjutsu.

The Land of the Moon had only used earthen walls for defense, which was completely ineffective.

Flames burned the entire camp.

The soldiers of the Land of the Moon could only hide behind the earthen walls.

As one earthen wall after another shattered.

The soldiers began to collapse, running around in panic.

Shrapnel from the rocket launchers began to scatter. Before they even understood what was happening, they were hit and fell to the ground.

After the rocket launcher attack was completed, Manxin stood before the unrecognizable camp. The earthen walls were mostly destroyed.

There were also many holes beneath the earthen walls. Soldiers who had survived began to crawl out of the holes one after another.

Looking at the state of the camp, they all wore ugly expressions. How could they possibly compete with the enemy now? The weapons in their hands gradually loosened.

Manxin shouted with a dark expression.

"What are you all doing? Hurry up and assemble! The enemy will attack soon."

The members of the rocket launcher battalion were rapidly reloading the rocket launchers.

The tension in the Rocket Battalion caused some minor errors.

After all, they were facing live ammunition now, and it was natural for their emotions to be a bit tense.

The hard training they had undergone in the past was now showing its worth.

"Report to Uzukage, rocket launchers are reloaded," reported Captain Yamashita of the Rocket Battalion.

With the reloading complete, Uzumaki Shori needed the Rocket Battalion to possess the ability to fight on their own.

"You will now take command of the launch. Aim and command it yourself."

"Yes, I will guarantee the mission is completed."

Captain Yamashita's expression immediately tensed upon hearing this. He ran behind the rocket launcher battalion.

"Sensory ninja, report the wind speed."

"Report, Captain, wind speed is level 2."

Captain Yamashita recalled the training exercises and the calculation formulas on the blackboard.

"Adjust the angle according to the wind speed, 47 degrees."

"Understood."

The rocket launcher troops began to operate.

"Fire!"

Captain Yamashita nervously double-checked. There was no mistake, it would definitely succeed.

Forty-eight I-beam-shaped launch rails were arranged in four rows, staggered vertically.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

A series of roars erupted.

A large number of rocket launchers ascended.

They ascended into the air and activated their secondary propulsion.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh."

Rocket launchers were fired one after another, continuously.

Flames trailed from the tail of the rocket launchers as they streaked across the sky.

Four hundred and eighty rocket launchers once again headed towards the Land of the Moon's army camp.

The soldiers of the Land of the Moon widened their eyes, pointing at the sky and shouting.

"Everyone, run! The enemy's rocket launchers are firing again!"

The soldiers rushed towards the underground shelters like a tide.

Manxin also rushed forward, pushing aside the soldiers blocking his path with his hands, and burrowed into a hole.

This time, without the earthen walls to block them, the rocket launchers directly hit the ground. The power generated by the explosions directly peeled off a layer of the earth's surface.

The soldiers in the underground shelters were permanently entombed within by the tremors caused by the shockwave.

After this rocket launcher bombardment was completed, the scene fell silent.

Only a patch of scorched earth remained, distorting the air.

After a long time, only the physically strong ninjas managed to crawl out of the underground shelters.

However, they emerged gasping for breath, clearly suffering from severe internal injuries.

Manxin's obese body got stuck directly at the exit of the underground shelter. He lost the strength to break free and fainted.

Uzumaki Shori formed hand seals using sensory ninjutsu.

"Kagura Eye!"
