Konoha Defense Battle

After more than half of the Sky Ninja had entered Konoha's airspace,

Konoha swiftly began its counterattack. Large numbers of Konoha Ninja appeared atop numerous high points.

Net after net was rapidly cast into the sky.

Anyone brushed by a net would become entangled and fall.

"Quick! We caught four!"

The Konoha forces rushed over with shouts, only to find that the fallen men had been drained of Chakra and smashed to death on the ground.

"Something's wrong. From that height, they shouldn't have died from the fall, right?"

The Konoha Ninja were puzzled.

They hurriedly had the Hyuga Clan Members responsible for reconnaissance report the exact situation.

The Hyuga Clan Members stared at those caught in the nets and discovered that white foam-like masses had appeared on their bodies while they were still in midair.

The foam developed into humanoid forms. After draining the Sky Ninja of their Chakra, they burrowed underground the instant they landed.

"It's White Zetsu! Those Sky Ninja have all been infected by the Spore Technique!"

The Hyuga Clan had suffered greatly from this technique before and recognized it almost immediately.

Inoichi Yamanaka's voice began to ring out in everyone's minds.

"All combat units, attention. Every Sky Ninja has been infected with the Spore Technique."

"When Sky Ninja hit the ground, the Spore Technique will drain their Chakra and form White Zetsu."

"White Zetsu possess exceptional earth-burrowing abilities. Kill them before they land."

"All evacuation guards, attention. Large numbers of White Zetsu have infiltrated Konoha's underground."

"Protect the shelters!"

Some Sky Ninja were caught in the nets, while those who reacted quickly pulled up sharply and avoided being trapped.

The Sky Ninja continuously communicated through hand signals in the air.

Moments later, after gaining altitude, the Sky Ninja prepared to begin a high-altitude bombardment.
