Chapter 212 Air Assault Force
🕑 Added 2025-06-10 11:35:53 +0000 UTCAs thunder roared across the sky, shells crackling with lightning burst out of the deep pit.
These chakra shells, infused with natural energy, were far beyond the power of ordinary ninjutsu.
The city’s defenders saw only a flash of thunder before the thick wall beneath their feet collapsed!
This terrifying barrage wiped out the remaining guardian ninja almost instantly.
The soldiers struck by the shells didn’t even have time to scream—consumed completely by the raging thunder.
The city wall was blasted open in more than a dozen places.
At that moment, the only three remaining members of the Guardian Twelve Ninja finally stepped forward.
“For the glory of the daimyo—kill them all!”
The one who shouted was Shoutian Shinichi, one of the Twelve Guardian Ninja.
He raised his katana and led hundreds of ninja and samurai in a charge toward the artillery positions.
The arrival of the Revolutionary Army with such overwhelming force—
Of course, the daimyo’s palace had made preparations in advance.
In the artillery position, a Hyuga ninja assigned to reconnaissance urgently reported:
“There are enemy ninja lurking underground!”
The Guardian Ninja and the Revolutionary Army had clashed many times before.
When facing these dangerous enemies, the most effective tactic was to burrow underground and strike using Earth Style to disable their forces.
However, with the Hyuga clan’s Byakugan in play, it wasn’t so easy for such sneak attacks to succeed.
The Revolutionary Army had also trained its own corps of elite Genin.
The moment the infiltration was discovered, Operative 01 dove underground to intercept the threat.
Meanwhile, Kakashi had already transformed—like a black Shinigami.
A massive Pteranodon soared above.
But it wasn’t just Kakashi.
Behind him, hundreds of black dots filled the sky.
These were the airborne units of the Revolutionary Army—
Regular soldiers equipped with scientific ninja tools.
Each wore a jetpack on their back.
Wings extended from the packs, and the nozzles emitted steady streams of chakra-converted airflow.
Their mission: to launch coordinated aerial strikes and establish overwhelming air superiority.
As the Guardian Ninja surged toward the Revolutionary Army’s positions on the ground—
The air troops didn’t hesitate.
They dropped shells from above—
Scattering them chaotically into the advancing Guardian ranks.
Explosions erupted. Fire blossomed across the battlefield.
Shoutian Shinichi’s face darkened with rage.
They had no effective counter against the aerial assault.
Raging chakra surged into his katana as he swung it furiously at the sky.
A massive chakra slash tore through the air.
Seeing this, more warriors followed suit, attacking the airborne forces.
Suddenly—a massive black shadow descended from above!
Kakashi spread his wings.
A dense layer of Armament Haki coated his body, making him tougher than steel.
He dived like a fighter jet, straight into the oncoming slashes.
Countless attacks struck him, but they only sparked harmlessly on impact.
Only Shoutian Shinichi’s slash managed to catch his attention.
Lightning danced across Kakashi’s body as his sharp beak, like a spear, collided head-on with Shoutian’s strike.
Thunder and chakra exploded at the point of impact, creating a blinding flash.
Kakashi paused midair, then flared his wings again and dove at Shoutian once more.
Shoutian Shinichi knew he couldn’t dodge.
The Guardian Ninja had lost all advantage.
His only chance at survival was to strike first—to kill the enemy’s commander and turn the tide.
With that resolve, Shoutian gathered all his strength to clash with Kakashi head-on.
After the first wave of attacks, the airborne units turned and flew toward the capital, not even glancing back.
But they weren’t alone.
A larger shadow slowly descended from the clouds.
An enormous black form blanketed the capital’s rooftops, bringing a suffocating sense of dread.
“What is that thing?!”
Panic spread among the people of the capital.
To them, it didn’t matter who ruled—
They only cared about survival.
The clouds slowly parted, revealing a massive balloon airship lowering altitude.
It was one of the airborne ninja tools created by Simu—
[Cloud Whale Type I]!
It had the capacity to carry 120 people.
At this moment, Obito was standing atop the airship.
He looked down at Wangcheng directly below and grinned faintly.
"Everyone in the raiding force—this is our chance to shine!"
With that, he suddenly leapt down.
Hundreds of figures followed one after another, jumping from the airship.
To support the drop operation, the airborne troops also released all their remaining ammunition.
Although the palace was heavily guarded, and many Wind Style ninjas managed to detonate the shells mid-air, nearly one-third still rained down upon the palace.
A series of violent explosions shook the air.
Flames engulfed the palace grounds, and nobles fled in panic and terror.
A female ninja was in charge of defending the palace.
Her name was Taoyao.
She was currently leading over a thousand ninja, staring skyward with a grim expression.
Hundreds of black silhouettes were falling rapidly from above.
The most conspicuous of them was the one in the lead—landing first while laughing maniacally.
Obito looked down at the crowd, his scarlet Sharingan glowing, before raising both arms.
“Wood Style: Blast Spear!”
His arms immediately turned to wood, transforming into an enormous log dozens of meters long, which he thrust down savagely at the palace below!
Taoyao—one of the Twelve Guardian Ninja—saw this and her expression changed drastically.
“Wood Style? Damn it, Konoha again!”
Aside from Konoha, no one else should have access to Wood Style.
Furious at the possibility that Konoha ninjas were behind this, she still reacted quickly to protect the daimyo.
“Fire Style: Majestic Fire Destruction!”
Raging flames burst from her mouth.
As one of the Guardian Twelve, Taoyao's strength was not to be underestimated—she was at least at the Elite Jōnin level.
Her scorching flames engulfed the descending log, burning it into a blazing inferno as it cracked apart and smashed through buildings below.
Meanwhile, the hundreds of elite ninja following Obito used Moonwalk, Shave, and other high-level techniques to storm the palace along the collapsing wooden trunk.
Obito descended swiftly, weaving through the falling debris.
With a kunai in hand, he slashed directly at Taoyao.
Taoyao met his attack head-on, swinging her ninja blade to clash against him.
A burst of sparks exploded between their weapons.
But thanks to the heightened perception of his Sharingan, Obito gradually gained the upper hand in the fierce exchange.
Seeing the intense scarlet glow in Obito’s eyes, Taoyao’s face grew even more grim.
Not only was this man a Wood Style user—but also a member of the Uchiha clan?
She quickly looked away.
Every trained ninja knew—never make direct eye contact with a Uchiha on the battlefield.
Unfortunately, Taoyao didn’t realize—
At that moment, Obito wasn’t using any genjutsu.
His simple mind was entirely focused on mastering Sage Mode.
He had no idea how to even use illusions.
Even though Obito was powerful, defeating Taoyao quickly was unrealistic.
After a prolonged clash, Obito made a decision.
Facing over a thousand enemies with just a little over a hundred allies, dragging things out would only put them at greater risk.
He immediately activated the [Spellcaster Type II] strapped to his body.
As the device powered up, vast amounts of natural energy surged into Obito's body.
Taoyao could sense it immediately—his aura skyrocketed.
She was right.
With the boost of natural energy, Obito’s strength exploded.
“Wood Style: Sea of 500 Trees!”
Wood Style was most effective when combined with Sage Mode.
Now, empowered by Senjutsu Chakra, Obito could finally unleash large-scale Wood Style techniques.
As enormous amounts of chakra poured out of him, the entire palace began to tremble.
Thick wooden trunks erupted from the earth, tearing up the ground with clods of soil, smashing palace walls like the fists of giants.
Countless ninja nearby were swept up and crushed in the surging forest.
Taoyao realized she couldn’t wait any longer.
If she allowed Obito to continue, the Guardian Ninja Corps here would be completely annihilated.
“Fire Style: Fire Dragon Bullet!”
A massive fire dragon roared forth, barreling toward Obito.
But empowered by Sage Chakra, Obito remained unshaken.
The ground before him burst open, and dozens of thick branches surged out.
The fire dragon burned through one branch after another, but Obito had summoned so many that even its intense flames were eventually consumed in the sea of trees.
But Taoyao wasn’t done yet.
As the fire dragon dissolved, she flew out from within it—
“Wind Style: Gale Weasel Technique!”
She opened her mouth and unleashed compressed air, forming a razor-sharp arc-shaped wind blade that slashed clean through all the wooden branches before her!
Obito’s Sharingan spun—
He had already seen it coming.
He swiftly ducked, just in time to dodge the strike.
But then—the ground beneath him suddenly exploded.
Another Taoyao burst out, thrusting her blade at his abdomen!
Obito reacted with lightning reflexes and leapt back.
But Taoyao's ninja blade still managed to pierce the equipment on his body.
The surge of natural energy dissipated instantly, and the [Spellcaster Type II] was petrified by the backlash of uncontrolled energy.
Obito's expression changed drastically.
In the next moment, he slashed back fiercely—
And severed one of Taoyao’s arms.
