What's wrong with having a large harem if you're the emperor of the ninja world?

This land shrouded in mist is not currently on his urgent list of conquests.

At least not for now...

...

Deep in the dense primeval forest, towering ancient trees block out the sun.

Sunlight can only filter through layers of branches and leaves, casting dappled and fragmented spots of light on the ground.

The air was humid and quiet.

Only the occasional chirping of birds and the rustling of insects could be heard.

Di Yan and Uchiha Izumi stood silently on a thick tree branch, like two ghosts.

Who would have thought that they had already crossed the desert and arrived here?

Their gaze pierced through the layers of green leaves.

Locked in the open space below.

There, about twenty or thirty people dressed in identical gray work uniforms were busy at work.

They acted cautiously and made almost no loud noise.

They are delivering batches of supplies... including packaged food, various precision tool parts, and even some devices that look like energy blocks.

They were transported underground through an entrance cleverly hidden behind massive vines and rocks.

Their movements were skilled and orderly.

They have clearly been operating here for a long time.

But it carries a sense of secrecy, as if it were something furtive and hidden from view.

"His Majesty,"

Uchiha Izumi lowered her voice.

The crimson Sharingan scanned the surrounding dense forest warily, confirming that there were no sentries or traps.

"Based on our cross-verification of intelligence gathered from multiple sources, this is one of the main secret strongholds of the remnants of the 'Sky Kingdom'."

"They seem to have been operating in the shadows, accumulating strength."

Di Yan nodded slightly but did not reply.

The veins around his eyes were already bulging, and his pure white eyes coldly scrutinized everything below.

That is the Hyuga clan's bloodline limit... Byakugan!

It seems that Uchiha Izumi's use of the Byakugan against His Majesty is already commonplace.

He showed no surprise at this moment.

They simply focused more intently on fulfilling their guard duties.

She knew that His Majesty possessed many secrets and abilities that defied common sense.

Byakugan's X-ray vision easily penetrated the surface soil and rock.

Di Yan's vision continued to extend downwards.

We passed by the busy people and piles of supplies.

Finally, nearly 100 meters underground, the outline of a huge and awe-inspiring metal structure was captured!

It was an aerial fortress of unimaginable size!

Although most of the main body is still buried in deeper rock layers and reinforcement facilities.

However, its streamlined, menacing appearance, the faintly visible weapon interfaces, and its unique design style are all striking.

All of this perfectly matches the information in Di Yan's memories!

Angkor Fortress!

Or rather, the Anker Bandi Sky Fortress!

Di Yan's lips finally curled up into a triumphant smile.

"Finally... we found it."

He muttered to himself, a hint of barely perceptible excitement in his voice.

In his grand blueprint for conquest.

While relying solely on the advance of ground ninja forces could certainly sweep across various countries, it is not impossible to achieve such a feat.

However, it is not the most efficient.

And it is easy to get bogged down in a protracted war.

To achieve true dominance and rapid unification.

We must possess a special force capable of carrying out strategic-level strikes and achieving absolute air superiority!

Di Yan, who was familiar with the "plot", almost immediately thought of the air force that had caused Konoha a lot of trouble in the movie.

The Sky Country and its Legacy!

Although the Land of the Sky had already been destroyed by Konoha.

However, its core technology and this massive aerial fortress were likely preserved by the remnants of the regime.

Controlling the air means having absolute initiative!

Bombing, reconnaissance, troop deployment, precision decapitation strikes...

Its strategic significance is immeasurable!

Thus, after taking control of Konoha.

He then secretly dispatched a large number of people.

They secretly searched the entire ninja world for clues about the remnants of the Land of Sky and this legendary fortress.

Now, the long search has finally yielded results!

Looking down at those who still know nothing about this and are still trying to revive the Sky Kingdom.

Di Yan's eyes turned cold and greedy.

He was determined to get his hands on this fortress and the high-tech flight equipment it contained!

This will become the sharpest aerial spear in his imperial ambitions!

"Quan, go and contact the black-clad men who are lurking nearby."

Emperor Yan slowly spoke, "I'm going to take a stroll inside."

Di Yan's decision is beyond question.

A hint of worry flashed in Uchiha Izumi's eyes.

But seeing Di Yan's confident and composed smile, and the way he affectionately pinched the tip of his nose...

That worry transformed into silent trust.

She did forget.

His Majesty's strength is unfathomable.

Furthermore, he possesses the Byakugan ability that he "obtained" from Hinata Hyuga.

With keen insight, avoiding both overt and covert sentries is a piece of cake.

"Yes, Your Majesty! Please be careful! I will immediately summon the men in black!"

Quan no longer hesitated and responded in a low voice.

Before she could finish speaking, her figure had already become blurry.

It was accompanied by a very faint whooshing sound.

It disappeared instantly into the dense canopy of trees.

Contact the imperial forces lurking in the surrounding area as quickly as possible.

Once Quan's figure had completely disappeared, Di Yan's smile faded slightly.

He regained his cool and focused demeanor.

His pure white eyes swept across the area below once more, his penetrating and insightful abilities pushed to their limit.

Below, the chakra flow, patrol routes, and even hidden traps of the remnants of the Land of Sky.

In his eyes, everything was as clear as the lines on his palm.

"A bunch of rats, they certainly know where to hide."

Di Yan snorted coldly.

He did not choose to enter through the obvious supply entrance.

That would be too big a target.

His gaze was fixed on a seemingly ordinary rock face to the side.

In the field of vision of the white eyes.

There was a more concealed ventilation duct entrance used by internal staff.

Directly leads to the core area of ​​the underground fortress.

The figure drifted down from the treetops like a ghost, landing silently.

Di Yan's movements were as fast as lightning, yet they possessed a strange elegance and precision.

It perfectly avoided the sight of all patrol personnel and the sensory barrier on the ground.

　(Wang Lezhao) He was like a part of the shadows.

They approached the rock face silently.

The fingers quickly press on several specific uneven spots on the rock wall.

Injecting an extremely subtle amount of chakra.

This is the mechanism's activation method, which can be seen through with a blank stare.

"Click!"

A barely audible sound.

A rock slid silently inward, revealing a dark pipe entrance that could only accommodate one person at a time.

A muffled sound of air flowing and a faint smell of engine oil could be heard from inside.

Without hesitation, Di Yan flashed inside.

The moment he entered, the rock silently closed again.

It was as if it had never been opened.

The inside of the pipe was narrow and dark, but for Di Yan, who possessed the Byakugan, none of this was a problem.

He moved swiftly through the complex network of pipes, like the most nimble raccoon.

Avoid individual moving fan blades and monitoring points.

They continued to advance deeper underground, towards the core area of ​​that massive steel fortress.

His goal is clear.

Directly control the fortress's central control room, or locate its power core.

As long as you master one of these two.

This massive war fortress is about to change hands!

Meanwhile, outside, Uchiha Izumi was swiftly moving through the forest.

Upon receiving the signal, the hidden figures in black, like cheetahs awakening, began to quietly encircle the secret base of the Sky Kingdom from all directions.

A coordinated battle to seize control.
