Naruto: Starting with Tsunade

Chapter 276 Empty Ninja

Even though they were mentally prepared, they were still quite surprised when they actually saw it.

"Boom boom boom..."

The huge explosions came one after another, booming continuously, and some ninjas who couldn't dodge in time were blown to pieces on the spot.

People on the ground couldn't see the enemy at all, but the explosions caused by the explosions continued wave after wave without stopping.

"Up there..."

Aokiji looked up in the direction the attack came from and saw a creature that looked like a giant bird spreading its wings floating in the sky.

bird?

wrong.

It was late at night and visibility was poor. Aokiji focused his gaze, his pupils concentrating to capture the figure in the darkness.

These winged creatures flying in the sky are not birds, but a group of humans with something resembling "wings" strapped to their hands. The blurred vision makes them look like giant birds.

"Damn it, who are these people? When did Amegakure get this kind of device?"

The Konoha ninjas were seeing this flying device for the first time, and they were caught off guard and could only fight back blindly by instinct, throwing shuriken into the air. However, due to the limited height of their line of sight, the effect was minimal.

On the other side, the enemy ninjas in the sky have the advantage of home ground and can just bombard the enemy with mindless carpet bombing. Below, there are Konoha ninjas, so you can bombard them at will and they will eventually hit someone.

"Tsunade, get out of the way!"

Aokiji felt something falling from the sky, jumped back, and called out to warn it.

"boom."

With a deafening roar, flames shot into the sky, and thick smoke billowed.

Aokiji's face flickered in the firelight, his eyes reflecting his rage.

"Smack."

With a clap of his hands, a sound rang out, and with just a simple "Yin" hand seal, he spat out a fiery dragon that soared into the sky, biting with its flaming fangs.

Fire Release: Great Fire Dragon Technique.

The Uchiha clan is proficient in Fire Release ninjutsu, and almost every Fire Release ninjutsu has its own unique characteristics.

Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Technique emphasizes speed, Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation emphasizes range, but this technique places even greater emphasis on lethality and accuracy.

A fiery dragon soared into the sky, piercing the night and illuminating the deathly pale face of a flying ninja who had unfortunately run into the flames.

"ah--!"

With a scream, a dazzling burst of fireworks exploded in the sky, illuminating the night.

Aokiji thus confirmed the approximate location of the group of ninjas. Without hesitation, he shouted to Tsunade and charged towards her.

The two understood each other perfectly without needing to say a word; they clenched their fists and bent their arms.

Aokiji placed one foot on Tsunade's arm, his legs slightly bent, and steam spewed out from his body's pores as he activated Boil Release: Steam Armor to increase his explosive power.

Tsunade let out a sharp shout and forcefully raised both hands.

Using the momentum, Aokiji leaped into the air, his speed as fast as a cannonball shooting into the sky, and landed on a flying ninja.

"asshole!"

The woman who was being used as Aokiji's mount was a female flying ninja. Feeling deeply humiliated, she turned around in anger, wanting Aokiji to throw her off.

Aokiji felt his balance slip and reacted immediately. He conjured an ice sword in his hand and slashed down fiercely, shattering the flying device while using the ninja beneath him as a stepping stone to leap upwards and dodge the incoming flying needles.

In mid-air, Aokiji hurled an ice sword that pierced through a flying ninja, and then, as his body fell, an ice lock flew out from his palm and entangled another flying ninja.

Using the pulling force of his arms, he lifted himself into the air and jumped onto another flying ninja.

Aokiji formed a "Tiger" seal and spewed out several fire dragons from his mouth, instantly knocking down several flying ninjas.

After a brief exchange, Aokiji had a basic understanding of these flying ninjas: they were very weak, probably not even as strong as the genin from his village, and their only advantage was their superior equipment.

Judging from their attire, they shouldn't be ninjas from the Five Great Nations, so it's hard to understand why their strength would be so weak.

This type of ninja seems to fit only one type in Aokiji's mind.

The Sky Ninja of the Sky Country?

Perhaps because this flying device was being used in combat for the first time, the Konoha ninja were caught off guard.

The Konoha ninjas here have mediocre anti-air capabilities, and the only one who can effectively strike these ninjas is Aokiji, who is currently standing in the air.

To be honest, Aokiji's air combat ability is also quite average.

His Ice Dragon Technique allows him to fly, but it's not agile enough. If he calls it out, he'll be riddled with holes in no time, and it'll just waste his chakra.

The Sharingan is the pupil that reflects one's heart. If he could awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan through other methods in the future, Aokiji truly hoped that his eye technique could take him flying.

However, it's best to just think about it; for now, Aokiji has no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it.

Just as Aokiji was about to shoot down the sky ninja himself, he suddenly noticed a group of people below who seemed to be performing some kind of large-scale ninjutsu. Suddenly, a large amount of seawater appeared out of nowhere, surging in like a burst dam.

Most of the ninjas in the Land of Fire are proficient in Fire Release techniques, and with this level of skill, their Water Release ninjutsu can almost instantly defeat Konoha ninjas.

Tsunade knows Earth Release, but honestly, it's better for her not to use her half-baked Earth Release and embarrass herself.

Seeing that something was wrong, Aokiji had no choice but to change direction and fall back to the ground.

To stop this massive water-style attack, the only option left for Aokiji was to use an extremely powerful ice-style ninjutsu.

Meanwhile, standing on high ground, Kameda saw that the massive water escaping technique, like a tsunami, had already been used, and couldn't help but show off: "How boring. I thought this surprise attack mission would be a little difficult, but it's over already."

His trusted confidants nearby seized the opportunity to flatter him, saying, "Well, there's nothing we can do about it. After all, who would have thought the enemy would come from the sky? To be honest, we were really surprised that the Sky Ninja could produce such a ninja tool this time."

Kameda, with an air of confidence, said with great interest, "Indeed, I'll now enjoy watching the Konoha ninja being swept away by the sea."

The ninjas of different countries are skilled in different ninjutsu. The five great nations are the most typical examples, with the ninjas of each village specializing in ninjutsu named after their respective country.

In other words, the Konoha ninjas of the Land of Fire are the least adept at dealing with water-style ninjutsu.

………………

In the camp, facing the tsunami attack that resembled a natural disaster, the Konoha ninjas turned pale. Some of the less resilient ones simply let their hands hang limply, the same thought flashing through their minds: It's over...

If we were swept away by a current of that magnitude, all our efforts would be in vain.

The best way to stop this level of water attack is to use Earth Release, but they are not good at it.

Just as everyone was feeling hopeless, a figure swept past them like a gust of wind, landing calmly in front of the overwhelming tsunami.

"Threat! Get out of the way!"

Someone shouted instinctively.

As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly realized how stupid his words were. The tsunami was so vast, where could he possibly hide?

Instead of worrying about him, you'd be better off worrying about yourself first...

Orochimaru's golden, vertical pupils reflected the figure's retreating form. He knew the opponent's ninjutsu well, and a hint of anticipation flickered in his hoarse voice: "Are you going to use that move?"
