Chapter 216: Chakra Cannon
As soon as Sasuke finished his report, he led Shihei and the other three, mounted on Shirotaka, and headed to intercept the aerial ninjas.
Clang, clang, clang…
The proven Uchiha throwing technique proved ineffective. These aerial ninjas wore flying armor, and even their wings were made of steel, which offered considerable defense. Seeing the large number of enemies approaching, he quickly launched a huge Fūma Shuriken.
"Fūma Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
Instantly, dozens of enormous Fūma Shurikens covered the aerial ninjas. They were incredibly powerful, and even those wearing armor were unable to withstand such a violent onslaught. Numerous aerial ninjas were killed or wounded.
'What a shame!' They were simply too numerous. While the jutsu was powerful, it consumed a considerable amount of chakra, making it difficult to stop the horde. Fortunately, the Aburame clan ninjas were formidable, especially Shihei, whose nano-poisonous insects instantly killed anyone on contact.
Just then, the Angkor Fortress unleashed a large number of cannons, aimed at Shirotaka.
"Shirotaka, watch out for the chakra cannons!" Sasuke shouted. Using his radar, he detected a huge concentration of energy inside the barrels. Shirotaka, an adult hawk with immense speed, quickly escaped their siege, but it was still difficult for it to escape the cannons' range.
Boom! Several dense, blinding chakra beams shot from the barrels. "Secret Technique: Sticky Wall!" Sasuke spat a stream of water syrup, forming a shield. The shield, powerful enough to defend against A-rank ninjutsu, only blocked a few beams before being shattered. However, it gave Shirotaka a brief moment to dodge.
The Angkor Fortress did not continue using its cannons, presumably to conserve ammunition for the attack on Konoha. They continued to desperately hold back Ao's ninjas, but there were too many of them, and they finally managed to break through. A torrential rain of explosive talismans fell on the village. The street at the entrance instantly became a purgatory.
"Enemy attack!"
"Quickly, protect the civilians and get into the bunker!"
"Stop those aircraft!"
Konoha's ninjas quickly slid through the smoke and flames.
"Wind Style: Thousand Sword Storm!" they unleashed a combined jutsu, but the shurikens bounced off the aircraft's robust armor.
"Damn it! It's too high! Conventional ninjutsu can't reach it!"
"Use combined ninjutsu! Wind Style for cover, Fire Style for the main attack!" Sasuke's voice, enhanced by Sound Style, reached everyone's ears.
Dozens of ninjas worked in perfect harmony.
"Wind Style: Great Breakthrough!" "Fire Style: Great Dragon Fire Jutsu!"
The wind fanned the flames, transforming them into a roaring fire dragon that swooped down on a low-flying aerial ninja, causing him to explode in a huge fireball. "Well done!" an ovation from below resonated.
The enemy immediately adjusted their formation, increasing their altitude, completely out of the range of ground ninjutsu. Meanwhile, the Angkor Fortress was closing the distance, its enormous chakra cannons charging and aimed at the heart of the village.
"Oh no! Chakra cannons!" an experienced jonin issued a heart-wrenching warning.
At that moment, Sasuke unleashed a huge sealing scroll, releasing an immense amount of active water syrup. "Secret Technique: Air Syrup Barrier!"
Consuming a large amount of syrup, he finally formed a wall that darkened the sky over Konoha. A resonant bang was heard. Although the multi-layered wall was shattered, it managed to contain the Angkor Fortress's chakra cannons.
'Great! We survived!'
'As expected of our Konoha Iron Wall!'
'Our defenses are truly formidable!'
Konoha's villagers were overjoyed. They had only heard that their village had an Iron Wall, a man with a greater reputation than the Sannin. Now that they had personally experienced it, they knew it was true.
