S.H.I.E.L.D. Triskelion Headquarters-
In the command room, Nick Fury commanded, "Execute Plan B. Move out."
With Nick Fury's order, the room immediately came alive. Orders were swiftly sent out, initiating a massive mobilization.
The doors of several warehouses opened, and three F22 fighter jets were quickly activated, taxiing out of the hangar before taking off into the sky.
Heavily armed field agents rushed towards armed helicopters, and as the soldiers boarded, the helicopters ascended rapidly, heading towards Staten Island.
On the ground, armored vehicles sped out of the base, heading full throttle towards their destination.
Meanwhile, a submarine quietly moved through the waters near Staten Island, where the Sound Ninja base was located. Inside the submarine, the captain ordered, "Open the missile launch tubes."
Following the command, the launch tubes were opened, revealing Tomahawk cruise missiles inside.
"Launch tubes are open."
Both the captain and the executive officer inserted the keys to authorize the missile launch. The captain then spoke into the radio, "We are ready."
In the command room, an agent responsible for coordinating with the submarine reported, "Sir, the jellyfish is ready."
Nick Fury, watching the live satellite feed of the Sound Ninja base on the screen in front of him, said with a stern expression, "Fire."
"Yes, sir!"
The order was relayed to the submarine captain, and with the command received, both officers turned their keys simultaneously. The captain then pressed the launch button.
With the red button pressed, the Tomahawk cruise missile ignited and launched from the submarine, rising swiftly through the water. Upon breaking the surface, the missile's rear thrusters ignited, propelling it into the sky.
After reaching a certain altitude, the missile jettisoned its booster and reignited its engine, locking onto the coordinates of the Sound Ninja base. It sped towards its target at Mach 0.7.
"Whoosh!"
The missile streaked across the sky, heading straight for the Sound Ninja base at a speed too fast for any reaction.
Inside the Sound Ninja base, the Sound Four were discussing their next mission when—
"Boom!"
The moment the missile struck, a violent shockwave rapidly expanded, shattering the base's buildings with incredible speed.
The Sound Four immediately felt the incoming shockwave. Sakon and Ukon instantly activated their second-stage forms and unleashed their strongest defensive jutsu.
"Summoning Jutsu: Rashōmon!"
A massive Rashōmon gate was summoned, standing before the four as a protective barrier.
Realizing the imminent danger, the others also activated their second-stage forms.
Jirōbō quickly used his Earth Release: Earth Prison Dome, raising a massive earth dome to encase them all.
Originally an offensive jutsu, Jirōbō repurposed it for defense, constantly channeling chakra to strengthen its protection.
However, even after their defensive jutsu were cast, Kidōmaru and Tayuya barely had time to transform into their second-stage forms and it was too late for them to release any ninjutsu.
A huge explosion and shock wave swept through as the buildings of the Sound Ninja Base were destroyed on the spot.
After a while, the smoke began to clear, revealing the aftermath. The Sound Ninja base was almost entirely obliterated, with only a large Rashōmon gate briefly visible before it disappeared underground.
Behind it stood a massive earth dome created by Jirōbō, which had withstood the initial blast.
Seeing this on the satellite feed, Nick Fury realized that the Tomahawk cruise missile hadn't completely neutralized the threat.
He immediately issued a new command: "F22s, target that dome and drop two GBU-32 JDAMs each!"
"Yes, sir!"
The pilots of the three F22s quickly locked onto the dome in the ruins of the Sound Ninja base and pressed the launch buttons.
Six 2,000-pound GBU-32 Joint Direct Attack Munitions (JDAMs) were launched, their fiery trails streaking towards the target.
Inside the earth dome, Jirōbō's chakra was depleting rapidly as he struggled to maintain the barrier.
Tayuya shouted with a livid face, "S.H.I.E.L.D.!"
Kidōmaru also yelled in frustration, "They're using missiles in a populated area! This is just the first wave. We need to use reverse summoning and retreat immediately!"
Sakon and Ukon were breathing heavily, having just expended a lot of energy on the Rashōmon.
"What about Kin Tsuchi and the others?" Sakon asked.
Tayuya, now furious, shouted, "We can't worry about them now! If they survived the first blast, they'll have to fend for themselves. Now, Retreat!"
The four quickly performed the Reverse Summoning Jutsu, teleporting themselves to the summoning realm.
Barely 0.3 seconds after they vanished, the six GBU-32 JDAMs struck Jirōbō's earth dome.
"BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!"
Without Jirōbō's chakra to reinforce it, the earth dome shattered instantly under the barrage.
The Sound Ninja trio, who were significantly weaker and slower to react, hadn't managed to use any ninjutsu.
They were caught in the initial Tomahawk missile strike and were killed on the spot. The following six JDAMs further obliterated their remains.
Watching the Sound Ninja base get leveled, Nick Fury remained cautious. The power of ninjas was too unpredictable, so he issued another command: "After the jets have expended all their missiles, return to base."
"Yes, sir!"
Each F22 carried up to eight different types of missiles, including AIM-9 Sidewinders for air-to-air combat and more GBU-32 JDAMs for ground attacks.
Under Fury's orders, the pilots released everything they had on the remains of the Sound Ninja base, including the air-to-air missiles.
"BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!"
Eighteen more missiles rained down, completing a full-scale bombardment.
With their payloads spent, the three F22s turned and headed back to base.
Once the smoke finally cleared, the area where the Sound Ninja base had stood was left with nothing but craters of varying sizes. The original buildings, the grasslands, and even the underground facilities had been utterly demolished.
Seeing no movement on the satellite feed, Nick Fury gave another order: "Wait three minutes for the temperature to drop, then have the troops in the helicopters conduct infrared scans to check for any survivors."
He added, "If there's any movement down there, hit it again with missiles. We'll turn that place into a wasteland if we have to."
Fury was prepared to raze the Sound Ninja base to the ground if that's what it took to eliminate them.
"Yes, sir!" came the immediate response.
