Chapter 235: The Legacy of the Sky Ninjas
"Is it so foggy today?"
"Yeah, it's almost seeping into the room."
"That's the bad thing about the weather at sea: it's foggy all the time and very humid."
The Sky ninjas complained again. Since their defeat in Konoha, they had been complaining about everything. But today, they would no longer have to complain. Shadow clones silently emerged from the walls, eliminating them one by one.
The new commander, Shennong, was incredibly alert and finally noticed that something was wrong. However, before he could get to the main control room and activate the self-destruct mechanism, he was intercepted by Sasuke.
"White Blood Demon, I know it's you! Come out!" Shennong shouted, fearful of sneak attacks. Among the Sky ninjas, his strength was impressive, reaching the level of a normal jonin, and his physical abilities were particularly noteworthy.
"Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
From the dense mist, nearly a hundred shuriken descended. Shennong reacted quickly; the specialized flying armor he wore offered a much greater defense than that of common ninjas, easily blocking the attack.
But at that moment, "Flying Thunder God Cut!"
A flash of light gleamed and a bloody wound appeared on Shennong's neck, blood splattering everywhere.
"Heavenly Blade Cut!"
He feigned death, but as he fell, he launched a deadly sneak attack. The two wings on his back transformed into giant windmill blades.
"Water Style: Mist Body Flicker!"
Sasuke was surprised that he hadn't died, but thanks to his radar, he easily dodged the attack. With a whoosh, the wound on Shennong's neck healed at a visible speed.
'What a powerful Yang Style body revitalization ability!' Sasuke thought, envying his self-healing ability.
"Walking in Darkness Technique!"
He cast a genjutsu, blinding Shennong. Then, he lunged and slammed his Samehada sword onto his shoulder.
"Samehada: Chakra Devourer!"
Shennong, who still hoped to resist, found that his chakra was rapidly depleting. In the blink of an eye, it was completely devoured, and he fainted.
With Shennong captured, the battle came to an end. Without their air superiority, the Sky ninjas were lambs to the slaughter.
After imprisoning the captives in the fortress's cells, Sasuke finally began to assess his gains.
"Is the Hidden Sky Village that poor?"
He had assumed they had hidden all their loot in the Angkor Fortress, but it was practically empty. 'Could it be that they spent all their decades' worth of savings building this fortress?' he wondered. It seemed to be the only explanation.
"Decades of hard work from the Land of Sky, and now I'm getting a steal," he thought, overjoyed, but also worried. Activating the fortress required considerable technical expertise.
Currently, the fortress's most valuable assets were the Flying Armor, the Chakra Cannons, the Chakra Shields, the manufacturing technology for the Zero-Tails, and the secret technique for body activation. The Flying Armor could be used to establish a joint venture with the Teku clan. While talented ninjas from the clan should refrain from using it, for members with mediocre talent, equipping them with armor and explosive tags would turn them into a formidable force, rivaling elite chunin. Thus, the Umino clan could instantly become one of Konoha's strongest second-tier clans.
"Huh? It seems the armor we've produced could be sold to the Kurama clan. Even the Aburame clan is a great customer."
