Gatling Gun! Carpet Bombing

The change had happened too quickly just moments ago.

A crowd of people had been busy with rescue efforts.

They hadn't paid any attention to the battlefield itself.

Now, they saw that Rock Lee had long since been carried to safety.

Standing on the battlefield, wearing the mask of Gaara, was none other than Uchiha Sora.

"It's actually him! Is he insane? I heard this kid only just awakened his eyes; his strength isn't even on par with Sasuke's!"

Asuma wore a look of utter shock.

"He's just adding to the chaos at a critical moment. Isn't this just making things worse? We'll have to find time to save him later!"

Even Might Guy seemed somewhat skeptical.

"That's right... although this kid has some skills and his weapons are bizarre, he shouldn't be able to do much on the front lines at a time like this!"

Kurenai shook her head. As she settled Hinata, Naruto, and Sasuke into safety, she looked on with suspicion.

"He told us to go deal with the others and save people, saying he would handle Gaara himself!"

Jiraiya couldn't help but turn his head to look toward the center of the battle not far away.

"Strange... this kid actually gives me the same feeling Minato Namikaze did back in the day; it's as if he's someone you can truly trust!"

Beside him, Kakashi gasped. "What... this kid, comparable to the Hokage?"

For a moment, everyone hesitated.

At this critical juncture, it was Jiraiya who spoke up.

"Let's trust him! After all, he is an Uchiha, and we really can't spare the manpower right now."

Everyone nodded in succession, and just like that, they continued to rescue the wounded while keeping a watchful eye on Uchiha Sora's direction.

Down on the battlefield, Gaara let out a cold laugh.

"Uchiha Sora! Even if you have such bizarre weapons, you're no match for me. And even if you defeat me, so what?"

He pointed toward the Hokage, who was being controlled nearby.

"Is it useful? The Hokage is already under control; today, your Konoha Village is destined to be buried here!"

Gaara was incredibly arrogant; he understood that Konoha Village was currently at the end of its rope.

In terms of high-level combatants, there was Orochimaru and the experts from Sunagakure.

There were even reinforcements from the Akatsuki.

As for the mid-level, there were a large number of Sunagakure experts, and at this moment, they were the invaders of the village.

The defenders would inevitably have to deploy more manpower.

With the ebb and flow of the battle, Gaara knew that the entire Konoha Village was now fish on a chopping block.

Uchiha Sora, meanwhile, scanned his surroundings.

Since the battle began, Uchiha Sora had been analyzing the situation.

He understood that his appearance had caused this rebellion to happen ahead of schedule.

Although it had caught him off guard as well, the overall impact wasn't significant.

After all, everything was still within his control.

He knew that as long as he took out Gaara, he would be able to free himself up to deal with the rest.

By then, Hiruzen Sarutobi would certainly be able to finish off Orochimaru.

Because Uchiha Sora understood that Itachi Uchiha was actually just there to watch the show.

He wouldn't intervene at all.

Therefore, while the situation appeared complex, it was almost no different from the original story.

The key was up to him.

With a chuckle, he raised his hand and tapped the barrel of the massive Gatling Gun in his hands.

"Perhaps you don't know what thermal kinetic energy conduction is, nor do you know what 7.62 caliber means, and you certainly don't understand what is meant by suppressive fire!"

As Uchiha Sora spoke, the Sharingan in his eyes spun rapidly.

It was as if he had activated slow-motion mode in a game.

He raised his hand, aimed at the Gaara in front of him, and pulled the trigger.

The barrels of the Gatling Gun began to rotate, and golden bullets were fed into the chamber.

Once fired, they turned into a stream of light, raining down densely toward the front.

The Gatling Gun Uchiha Sora was currently using was no longer the primitive version.

From the very beginning, what he had forged was an automatic version, somewhat similar to the Vulcan Cannon mounted on an Apache attack helicopter.

At this moment, its rotation speed could reach over six thousand seven hundred rounds per minute!

As for its armor-piercing power, it could easily penetrate twenty-millimeter-thick steel plates.

Even tank armor, if subjected to continuous strafing, could be easily torn apart.

Not to mention, the majority of what was contained within these bullets was chakra.

It was top-tier chakra, derived from the Black Powder version bestowed by the system.

This elevated the power of the bullets to yet another level.

Therefore, as the Vulcan Cannon roared, those bullets seemed capable of piercing through everything, instantly breaking Gaara's defense.

That's right, it was a literal breaking of his defense.

His entire body was swept by the rain of bullets, and large areas of fragments fell from his body and face.

His arms and legs were even nearly severed as a result.

This scene shocked Gaara.

He was being strafed by the machine gun at this moment, unable to stand up at all.

Those bullets looked small, but the impact force of each one was no less than a miniature version of Chidori.

Cutting into his body, it felt as if he could be reduced to a scattered frame at any moment.

It was only thanks to the protection of the Tailed Beast and the constant replenishment of powerful chakra that he hadn't died.

However, if the strafing continued, he would likely be close to death!

This scene caused his expression to change drastically.

"Impossible... what is this thing! Is this some kind of ninjutsu? Why is it so powerful? He didn't even perform any hand seals!"

As a ninja, where had he ever seen a modern-style weapon?

He was completely bewildered at this moment.

While being suppressed and beaten, he gasped for air, able only to dodge back and forth.

Soon, many wounds appeared on his body.

This scene was also seen by Kakashi and the others, who were equally shocked.

"Holy crap... this kid's equipment seems to have been upgraded. I remember it being quite small when he drove back Orochimaru, so why is it so big now?"

Kakashi stared at the Gatling Gun spinning and roaring in Uchiha Sora's hands, completely baffled.

Beside him, Might Guy also had his mouth wide open, his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.

"No way... could it be that the weapon can grow? Is this its complete form now?"

Asuma was even more shocked; he was a weapons master himself.

He specialized in all kinds of weapons.

Yet, he had never seen the thing in Uchiha Sora's hands in his life.

"Incredible, it feels like the things being fired are miniature Kunai, but the power is just too strong! To think it could easily penetrate a defense formed by a Tailed Beast!"

Even Jiraiya, even one of the legendary Sannin of Konoha Village, felt his scalp tingle at this moment.

"So strong. No wonder, no wonder he was personally favored by the Hokage; this kid really does have some ability!"

Then, Jiraiya's eyes lit up.

"Doesn't this mean that as long as this kid is strong enough to take down that Gaara, we'll be able to free ourselves up too!"

For a moment, everyone was excited.

At the same time, the Hokage, while fighting, also widened his eyes.

He stared in disbelief at the scene of the machine gun strafing below.

"Good heavens... what is this! This is too outrageous, is this really a ninja tool!"
