Mizukage's Pokémon Ninja Scroll

Chapter 192 Konoha Attack

"Knock knock knock knock!"

Hearing the urgent knocking at the door, Tachibana Kanagawa immediately composed herself.

Given his prestige within the Air Force, his subordinates wouldn't have come to bang on his door to notify him unless there was an emergency.

Jianchuan Ju quickly moved to the cabin door and opened it.

A ninja squad leader outside the door immediately lowered his arm, which was about to bang on the door, and said in a quick tone.

"Captain Jianchuan, the reconnaissance team has spotted a 200-strong Konoha unit rapidly approaching our location from the sea in the southwest."

Upon hearing this, Tachibana Kanagawa's expression became slightly more serious, but she didn't panic too much.

"Are those guys from Konoha still not giving up? Have they contacted Squad Leader Kaguya of the Third Division yet?"

The Hidden Mist's Sky Division ninjas have repeatedly inflicted heavy losses on Konoha's front lines, so Konoha naturally cannot allow the Hidden Mist to act recklessly.

This was not the first time Konoha had sought an opportunity to attack the Hidden Mist's flight formation's aircraft carrier.

However, while the Mist Village's aircraft carrier looks enormous, it's actually quite insignificant when placed in the ocean.

Furthermore, the air force carriers usually operate in conjunction with the main force. Even when they occasionally carry out missions independently like today, two air force squads travel together while the other two carriers rest and wait for orders near the front-line camp.

Moreover, the aircraft carrier's docking location and route are top secret.

Konoha often finds itself empty-handed after launching a large-scale attack.

Even if they occasionally run into the Air Force, their small force is no match for the more than one hundred flying ninjas on the two Air Force aircraft carriers.

If there are too many people, they will be detected by the air force's reconnaissance squadron before they even get close.

How far is the border of the Land of Fire from the camp of the Land of Misty Whirlpools?

If we hold out for a while, a large number of support troops will arrive quickly from the front lines.

When Konoha wants to launch a decisive battle with Kirigakure on the sea, it will also have to face attacks from Kirigakure's aerial forces from the sky.

I'm afraid they'll be sent crashing back to their hometown in one fell swoop.

The squad leader who came to report was also one of the first Kongbu ninjas to join, and he was aware of these situations.

So although they rushed to report the situation, they did not lose their composure.

"Captain, the enemy was discovered by the reconnaissance squad under the third team. Squad Leader Kaguya notified us and led her team to intercept them."

"This guy is really something."

In the end, Tachibana Kenkawa simply shook her head.

That's just the personality of the Kaguya clan. After working with them for almost half a year, Tachibana Kenkawa had long since gotten used to it.

After Kongbu rose to fame in that battle, he became a highly sought-after figure in Kirigakure.

Any family with even a little bit of ability would want to send some people into the Air Force Department so they could occupy high positions in this upstart department.

However, the Third Mizukage was not unaware of the ulterior motives of these clans, and in the end, these clan ninjas only occupied about one-third of the slots in the Sky Division.

As for Kaguya Rasok, he is one of the two clan ninjas with the highest status in the Sky Division.

He is currently the squad leader of the third squadron of the Air Force. He has been on many missions with Tachibana Kanagawa, and their relationship is fairly good.

"Never mind, let him be."

"Send a message to the front-line camp requesting support. The rest of you, change your equipment and prepare for the attack."

The request for help wasn't because the two air squads couldn't handle the two hundred Konoha ninjas.

However, in order to ensure the safety of the aircraft carrier, the squad led by Tachibana Kenkawa could not be deployed directly, lest Konoha pull some kind of trick to lure them away from their base.

Of the two hundred people who actually went out to attack Konoha, only the less than fifty flying ninjas from the third squad were actually involved.

Calling for support is also to further ensure the aircraft carrier's absolute safety.

Watching the squad leader run off to relay the order, Jianchuan Ju summoned Lanzi back to his spirit once more.

He tossed the odds and ends the little frog was carrying into the cabin and quickly went to change its equipment.

However, just as Lanzi, who had just changed into his gear, arrived on the deck, another squad leader rushed up and nervously reported to his superior.

"Captain Jianchuan, the reconnaissance team has spotted another Konoha squad of about two hundred people in the southeast direction. They are approaching within a dangerous distance of five thousand meters."

Upon hearing this, Jianchuan Ju's expression also became more serious.

Five thousand meters is not a very long distance. At the speed of an ordinary ninja, even at sea, they would encounter each other in five or six minutes.

Moreover, the fact that four hundred ninjas were dispatched at once clearly indicates that Konoha came prepared this time.

"Konoha really went all out."

After muttering to himself, Tachibana Kanakawa immediately gave a loud order.

"Squads 11, 12, and 13, stay put. Notify the third squadron's aircraft carrier to approach us. The two escort ships will also cooperate in the defense."

"After the 7th and 8th reconnaissance squadrons returned, they were sent to continue searching in other directions to confirm whether there were any other enemies."

"The rest of the squads, follow me!"

"Yes!" xN

After giving the instructions, Jianchuan Ju immediately took off from the spot, while the other eight squad members and Lanzi quickly ran to the aircraft carrier's glider launch pad and took off by catapult.

"Swish, swish, swish——"

One by one, the Sky Division flying ninjas took off, quickly forming a formation and following behind Tachibana Kanagawa, flying together towards the enemy.

The enemy had silently approached to such close range that the flying ninjas led by Tachibana Kenkawa encountered them almost instantly.

Without any further words, everyone uniformly took out their standard-issue kunai assault rifles from behind their backs.

"Rat-a-tat-tat-tat—" it began to sweep bullets toward the enemies below.

A simple greeting was enough to cause more than ten Konoha ninjas to fall.

However, Konoha's audacity in launching a surprise attack on Kirigakure's aircraft carrier clearly indicates that they were prepared.

Moreover, the fact that the reconnaissance squad under Jianchuan Tachibana was able to discover the enemy basically indicates that the other side also knew that their whereabouts had been exposed.

"It's the Wings of the Gale!"

"Quickly! Wind Release team, advance!"

Because Tachibana's wings were so conspicuous, she was immediately recognized by the Konoha ninjas.

A dozen or so ninjas from the Konoha formation immediately jumped to the front of the troops, forming hand seals at the same time.

"Wind Release: Chaotic Airflow"

Even now, this C-rank Wind Release technique remains one of the most effective methods for dealing with flying ninjas.

However, Tachibana Kanakawa is no stranger to this situation.

"Gathering! Major breakthrough!"

All flying ninjas immediately retreated into formation.

Immediately afterwards, the three Hidden Mist ninjas, including Tachibana Kenkawa himself, quickly formed hand seals.

"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"

Three massive wind projectiles were unleashed from its mouth, blasting a hole in the chaotic airflow in front of it.

All the flight squadrons calmly flew towards the hollow that was free from airflow interference.

After a long period of confrontation, the Hidden Mist flying ninjas had long since learned that no matter how many people from Konoha came or how much turbulent airspace they created, the flying units only needed to clear their own flight paths.

However, Konoha's offensive did not stop there.

next moment.

Several ninjas, their bodies completely covered, carrying huge jars on their backs and wearing strange sunglasses, rushed out of the crowd.

He spread his arms out, facing the Hidden Mist Ninja in the sky.
