Chapter 217: The Konoha Kazekage
"Continue the attack!"
The chakra cannons of the Angkor Fortress charged again and fired.
Fueled by Samehada's chakra, Sasuke could barely resist. As the cannons annihilated large quantities of syrup, the defensive capacity of the wall weakened, reaching a dangerous point. Faced with this situation, they had no choice but to sacrifice part of the coverage to protect key points of the village, particularly the underground shelters.
Although much of the cannons' energy was blocked, their immense destructive power was still formidable. The impacted areas, whether they were sturdy houses or giant trees, were instantly annihilated, leaving behind terrifying craters with molten edges. Luckily, the fortress's cannons were not infinitely effective; they needed to periodically cool down.
"Samehada, keep giving me chakra!" Sasuke exclaimed, consuming a large amount of secret medicine to continuously produce more syrup and strengthen the defenses.
The cannons ceased their attack, but the air ninjas, taking advantage of the momentum, completely invaded the village.
"Help! Someone save me!"
"Where is the Third Hokage? Why doesn't he come to save us?"
Konoha's ninjas were terrified. Despair spread like a wave of ice. At that critical moment, Danzo finally appeared with Root and unleashed his signature ninjutsu.
"Wind Style: Vacuum Ball!"
Danzo unleashed bullet-shaped vacuum balls, shooting down the air ninjas one by one. Not even the defensive strength of their flying armor could withstand such an onslaught. The armor creaked like eggshells, and the internal engines exploded with dazzling sparks. Danzo's mastery of wind jutsu far surpassed Sasuke's.
Witnessing this scene, many of Konoha's ninjas cheered, praising the prowess of the elder Danzo. Encouraged, he summoned the Dream-Eating Tapir. The air ninjas who tried to gain distance were sucked into its open maw and then precisely detonated by Danzo's vacuum balls.
"Roar!" after absorbing enough air, the Dream-Eating Tapir roared, and a violent turbulence hit the void, blowing away the air ninjas.
"Wind Style Shuriken!"
Danzo took the opportunity, channeling his Wind Style chakra into his shuriken and throwing them. Each shuriken spun rapidly, surprisingly piercing the flying armor with ease. The enemy formation, barely formed, was instantly torn apart.
"Long live Elder Danzo!" the younger ninjas cheered.
Sasuke, mounted on Shirotaka, was also astonished. Hiruzen's absence and Danzo's arrival to the rescue seemed strangely absurd to him.
The air ninjas were not particularly powerful; their air superiority was all they had. Faced with Danzo's artillery, they were nothing more than easy targets. Faced with the nuclear threat, they closed the distance. Meanwhile, a swarm of insects filled the skies, slowing their offensive.
Given this situation, the Angkor Fortress's cannons, regardless of their cooldown time, charged and prepared to fire again.
"Secret Technique: Air Syrup Barrier!"
Sasuke's face darkened, but he could only do his best, blocking as many of the chakra cannons as he could. The syrup wall was formidable, but not infinite. After withstanding just one more bombardment, it was already on the verge of collapse.
At that critical moment, Uzumaki Mito, Konoha's anchor, finally emerged from the Senju clan territory, changing the tide and stabilizing the village.
"Yin Seal: Release!"
Mito calmly extended her hands and formed the Yin Seal over her chest. A hum, an invisible but unimaginably powerful wave of chakra, suddenly spread out, like an invisible barrier. The chaotic battlefield seemed to have been briefly halted by a giant hand. Everyone felt the vast power and the moving majesty, and they looked towards Uzumaki Mito.
