Naruto: I'm really not an evil scientist!

However, the Eagle Squadron is special because it is small enough that it is not subject to the same restrictions as larger aircraft.

Moreover, since the main body of the aircraft is a ninja, the aircraft do not need a runway when landing. Even if they encounter any accidents, they only need to fold the wings to slow down, and the ninjas can land lightly on the ground.

Given the average agility of the Hokage's guards, this was an easy task.

After all, in this era, there is no such thing as organized aerial combat.

Given the habits of the Hokage's guards, they wouldn't fly too high.

Led by Kakashi, the group rushed towards their destination, their figures appearing and disappearing in the wind and snow, like a group of brave warriors challenging the limits of nature.

What Kakashi didn't realize was that behind them, an even more advanced Flying Eagle was quietly crashing into the sky above them.

The Flying Eagle that followed was naturally Hiryu-kyu's vehicle.

In terms of efficiency and safety, the Flying Eagle currently used by Hiruko is obviously superior—but its problem is that it costs dozens of times more to build than the ordinary Flying Eagle.

From Hiruko's perspective, the Flying Eagle currently used by Kakashi and others is actually closer to a glider.

However, they possessed a very powerful human-powered engine and control capabilities—thankfully, those idiots remembered to add a fairing and a lot of cold-weather protection for Kakashi and the others, allowing them to fly normally in cold weather.

While the Flying Eagle currently used by Hiruko is indeed more powerful and closer to the modern aircraft in his mind, the cost... well, Hiruko thinks that if he were to equip it with the military, those stingy people in the finance department would definitely come after him.

So after a lot of wrangling, the Flying Eagle was modified and changed, eventually becoming the mini version it is today.

But it's only version 1.0 after all. Maybe in a few years, those ninja tool masters will have some inspiration and can take it a step further... Thinking this, Hiruko put on his goggles and then threw a fiery red pill into his mouth.

This is a secret medicine that he commissioned Tsunade to develop for the Air Force. It is quite expensive per unit, but fortunately, its effects are very long-lasting. This medicine can slowly release heat to help pilots maintain their body temperature. At the same time, it can also help pilots better control their chakra and avoid fatigue and damage to their meridians.

Because it's still a short time, Konoha doesn't have many of these items.

However, since this was a flight in snowy weather, Hiruko still had Kakashi take him along.

So far, the results are quite good; Kakashi and the others are still able to maintain a stable flight state in the cold weather.

Kakashi and the others flew rapidly at low altitude, constantly correcting their course with the help of the sensory ninjas, and quickly flew towards their destination.

Their eyes revealed determination and focus, as if they were completing an extremely important mission.

“In real combat, a lot of problems have emerged. The flight path in the air has not been properly planned. It’s only because there is a map and so many sensory ninjas to help detect it that we have it…” Kakashi thought to himself, his brows furrowing slightly.

"However, there is nothing we can do about it, since this is the first time we have officially gone out to carry out a flight mission." Konoha is currently in the eye of the storm, being closely watched by various forces. The slightest movement will attract the attention and vigilance of countless ninjas.

Hiruko knew perfectly well that once these painstakingly crafted flying machines appeared in the public eye on a large scale, they would surely be detected by ninjas from other villages.

This situation is impossible to prevent, no matter what.

This is why, although these aircraft have been successfully developed, they have only been used in simulation experiments and have never been put into actual combat.

However, this time, Beiruhu resolutely released them.

His move was driven by profound considerations: to force other major ninja villages to break free from past prejudices and grow stronger under competition and pressure.

Of course, this process of becoming stronger also means a further tearing apart of the relationship between them.

Regardless of which ninja village makes the first move, Hiruko is determined not to follow the opponent's lead.

He knew perfectly well that once he revealed his powerful "trump card"—the flying machine—the other ninja villages would inevitably rush to catch up.

This hasty pursuit will inevitably expose more of their weaknesses.

In this ever-accelerating and increasingly competitive world, outdated ideas, backward technologies, and corrupt systems will eventually be ruthlessly eliminated, and even he himself will be no exception.

Advanced ideas and strong capabilities will ultimately emerge from this chaotic mire and lead the trend of the times.

Hiruko thought firmly to herself, "If you believe your path is right, then pursue it! Let's see who laughs last in this fierce competition!"

With this in mind, Hiruko did not hesitate to continue raising the height of the Flying Eagle, as if to break through the thick clouds and bravely meet the many challenges ahead.

The raging blizzard rushed towards them like a ferocious beast, but was directly driven away by the powerful steel body of the Flying Eagle, emitting bursts of howling wind.

Since it was their first flight mission, Kakashi and the others performed somewhat poorly.

The fierce wind, carrying blizzard, cut across their faces like knives, and their vision was severely obstructed.

The heavy snow made flying extremely difficult, forcing them to slow down and carefully avoid various potential dangers.

But no matter what, they gritted their teeth and moved forward quickly, with only one belief in their hearts: to complete the mission.

After a long time, the land gradually disappeared from everyone's sight, replaced by a vast, boundless, and turbulent ocean.

That deep blue seemed to conceal countless secrets and dangers.

“Now that they have left the mainland and entered the ocean, it’s time to gamble a bit of luck from here on out…” Hiruko moved steadily forward in the high sky, his eyes sharp, watching Kakashi and his group closely, ready to lend a helping hand at any critical moment.

For ninjas, accurately deducing the location of a target mission from limited information is a specialized and advanced skill.

Putting himself in others' shoes, Hideyuki thought that if Kazahana Hayase were being frantically pursued, she would definitely try her best to leave the Land of Snow as soon as possible and seek refuge in the Land of Fire.

It's not that he can't go to other ninja villages, it's just that the situation is special now, Konoha has already clashed with Fuuka Nutsou.

Given Kazaka Hayate's personality, she would inevitably choose to go to Konoha, partly to explain the current situation and partly to get Konoha's help in resolving the big problem of Kazaka Naoto.

Logically, he should take the shortest route to arrive as quickly as possible.

However, there is a tricky problem here: under the crazy pursuit of Feng Hua Nu Tao, it is completely unpredictable how his route will deviate.

Hiruko believed that this was the most difficult part of the battle.

This was the only thing that Hiruko could do, and he could only leave it to fate and hope for good luck.

Fortunately, the worst-case scenario did not occur.

After wasting some time searching, Kakashi's team unexpectedly ran head-on into the ship carrying Hayayuki Kazahana and Noutō Kazahana.

On a massive ironclad warship, the banner of the Snow Kingdom fluttered in the gale, as if proclaiming the Snow Kingdom's majesty and indomitable spirit.

In this era, such a behemoth is virtually unrivaled, like a maritime overlord.

Unfortunately, it was being pursued by a massive ironclad warship flying the flag of the Land of Snow. The two giant ships engaged in a thrilling chase on the sea.

Even worse, ninjas on the ironclad warship were constantly unleashing various powerful ninjutsu techniques, flashing streaks of light as they attacked the warship in front, attempting to destroy it completely.

The ironclad warship's defenses were decent; its thick armor could withstand some attacks, but it couldn't withstand the relentless bombardment of ninjutsu.

Even though the accuracy of the spells cast at sea was poor, the relentless attacks gradually wore down the fleeing ironclad ship, causing cracks to appear on its hull and its speed to decrease.

“At this time, they are still flying the flags of the Land of Snow… That’s right, these must be the mounts of Kazaka Nyutō and Kazaka Hayayuki.” Kakashi, with his keen eyesight, quickly made a judgment.

"But why didn't he fly over directly using the chakra armor...? Was it because it was an early version and he couldn't fly yet, or did he feel that the consumption was too great and chose to conserve his strength first?" Kakashi pondered to himself.

After all, Feng Hua Zaoxue was the ruler of a country, and he must have had some experts protecting him.

It is only right to weaken the opponent's strength before engaging in direct combat.

As Hiruko gazed at the fierce battlefield before him, lost in thought, a sudden change occurred.

Perhaps finally exhausted by the long and arduous pursuit, a snow ninja on the ironclad warship of the Wind Flower Raging Waves faction began to unleash a large-scale ninjutsu.

He quickly formed hand seals and chanted incantations, and the surrounding air instantly turned cold.

"Ice Release: One-Horned White Whale!" With a roar, the seawater rapidly condensed, transforming into a giant white whale with long horns.

The beluga whale was enormous, like a moving mountain, and exuded a chilling aura.

The beluga whale leaped high into the air, and then, under the influence of gravity, crashed heavily onto Feng Hua Zao Xue's ship like a giant meteorite.

Boom—Gah! This giant white whale made of ice and snow was extremely large. It would be quite difficult for such a large creature to injure a nimble ninja.

However, for ironclad warships sailing on the sea, this is almost a natural enemy.

The ironclad warship had no chance to dodge the falling beluga whale and could only take the full damage.

From high above, Beiruhu could not see what was happening inside the ironclad warship.

From the outside, he could clearly see that the entire ironclad ship had been dented in, and the hull was rocking violently, as if it would sink at any moment.

As a series of screams and cries of terror erupted from inside the ship, the entire ironclad warship lost power and came to a stop, drifting aimlessly on the sea.

It seems that the large-scale ninjutsu just now damaged the ironclad ship's propulsion system.

Kakashi was also shocked to see such a horrific scene.

However, what surprised him was not the attack power of the white whale, but the ninjutsu attribute it used.

"...Ice Release?" "Is she a member of the Lady's clan...? How could that be? Shouldn't the Ice Release clan have been wiped out...?" Kakashi was filled with doubt.

To be precise, the ninjutsu used by the Snow Ninja is not Ice Release; it just looks very similar to Ice Release in the special environment of low temperature.

This operation was experimental in nature, so Hiruko didn't explain too much beforehand—the battlefield is always chaotic, and to survive, one must prove one's strength and react quickly in any situation.

Kakashi was also confused about the relationships involved, but the matter was of great importance, and he didn't have time to worry about it.

"On your positions! Firepower!"

"learn!"

The other party clearly wanted to kill Kazahana Sayayuki, but at this moment, they didn't know Kazahana Sayayuki's condition.

In desperation, everyone immediately went all out.

However, instead of using ninjutsu, they pulled out a Gatling gun-like weapon from under the wing.

This weapon has a unique design and exudes a cold metallic luster, as if it were a messenger of death.

Because of weight considerations, the Flying Eagle Squad does not carry too many weapons.

However, for Kakashi and his friends, having this is enough...

Kakashi whistled, his eyes revealing determination and courage, and immediately moved close to the side of the ironclad ship, beginning a rapid maneuver.

Chapter 295 Walkthrough

He moved with lightning speed, darting freely around the ironclad warship.

In this era, even military ships did not have a large amount of anti-aircraft firepower.

The Snow Ninja on the ironclad ship reacted quickly, throwing out various hidden weapons as the Flying Eagle Squad approached.

The projectiles rained down on the Flying Eagle Squad, accompanied by a whooshing sound.

However, the Flying Eagle Squad was simply too fast, almost disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Their hidden weapons often missed their mark before they even hit the Flying Eagle Squad, causing the Snow Ninja's attacks to miss completely.

When the Eagle Squad started using the Gatling gun, hell descended.
