Chapter 208: Air Raid

Facing Dong Shilang's obviously perfunctory answer, Zhi Shui was clearly not ready to give up, continuing to ask:

"But if that's the case…… isn't the captain afraid of the village's punishment?"

Indeed, as Zhi Shui said, for an ordinary ninja, if they delay mission time etc., they probably won't get any good outcome.

The best outcome would be being thrown into the most dangerous position to carry out some perilous missions with slim survival chances.

But what meaning do these punishments have for them?

In the frontline main camp, are there missions more dangerous than the ones these people undertake?

Even if there were, the family would help them block it! Otherwise, why would Dong Shilang be so eager to cling to the family's thigh?

Helping with spirit beasts and handing over ninjutsu—isn't all this just for this day?

This is also the difference between having backing and not having backing!

Although our current situation is also caused by this backing, they have no choice.

In some people's eyes, these people have been labeled unstable, dangerous, even evil from the moment of birth.

It's not up to him to choose……

However, he also prepared a plan B; if it really doesn't work, he wouldn't mind defecting directly.

Anyway, his current strength is no longer as weak as before; if he just dodges Leaf Village's pursuit, he's still fairly confident.

By then, mixing into the Dawn Organization and getting a uniform should still be fine.

But doing so would inevitably implicate his relatives in the family; unless absolutely necessary, he won't consider this path!

"Zhi Shui! Remember!"

"Sometimes, compared to temporary success or failure, your and your comrades' lives are more important! Don't lightly give up your life over trivial matters!"

This kid, later on, will commit suicide because he cannot use the Heavenly Separation God to stop the family coup! In order to delay the family coup's timing, give You an opportunity, and at the same time help the other side awaken their eyes~

"Only by being alive can one have infinite possibilities! Only then can one create miracles!"

"Don't die easily~"

He casually gave the other person a bowl of chicken soup, regardless of whether it suited their appetite, and Dong Shilang took out the original map, beginning to compare whether there were any differences between the intelligence gathered from several scouting missions.

As for the trivial matter he just mentioned, it's not really him perfunctorily brushing off Zhi Shui; rather, in his view, this mission to attack the stronghold really is somewhat trivial.

No matter how thoroughly we destroy this Stone Ninja stronghold this time, the enemy can soon build an identical fortress.

Moreover, the newly built one will be thicker and easier to defend, harder to attack~

Unless Leaf Village can gain absolute advantage on the main battlefield, carrying the prestige of victory to fully bring this region under Leaf Village's control, otherwise any action is meaningless~

But such a thing is obviously impossible to happen; Lightning Country, Water Country, Feng Zhi Guo—these several countries have drained Leaf Village's energy enormously.

This makes it so that the Leaf Village side wants to have a breakthrough on the Grass Country battlefield, which is nearly an impossible task.

Moreover, the addition of Cloud Ninja makes the pressure on Leaf Village's side increase even more~

……

That night, around 4 a. m.

Within a forest about ten kilometers from this stronghold.

"Finally, check your weapons!"

Dong Shilang, dressed in regular combat uniform, with a stern expression, began the final pre-battle preparations.

"Yan! Zhe! Longhuo! Zhaoxia! Do you have any questions about your respective squads' missions?"

After getting the answer he wanted, Dong Shilang then said: "If that's the case, everyone, let's begin this mission; I hope every person present can complete this mission safely!"

"Yes!!!"

A uniform, synchronized response echoed in this dense primordial forest, each person answering, filled with sternness and coldness.

Meanwhile, Dong Shilang unfolded a huge rotating shaft; with his chakra input, five giant flying beasts with wingspans of about fourteen to fifteen meters leapt out from the white sheet spread on the ground.

"Depart!"

Following Dong Shilang's command, fifteen Uchiha clan members, in groups of three, separately leapt onto the backs of these flying beasts.

These flying beasts then immediately carried them, soaring through the sky toward this mission's target~

A distance of ten kilometers, on the ground perhaps still requires these ninjas to spend some time and stamina to reach the destination.

But traveling by air, this distance basically passes in an instant.

As the distance gradually closes, these flying creatures, fabricated in high altitude via Super Beast Fake Painting, begin to rapidly descend.

Utilizing dive, gravity, and their own carried kinetic energy, they begin to sprint, making their speed nearly reach the limit that flying beasts can achieve.

This causes each individual sitting on their backs, wearing wind goggles, to frantically increase their own chakra output, fearing that a slight mistake would blow them away by the turbulent airflow in the air.

If they fall like that, they could only rely on themselves to possibly seize a slim chance of survival.

Their captain, at this moment, certainly won't turn back to save them for their mistakes; they can only fend for themselves~

As the distance to the ground grows nearer, these flying beasts, under Dong Shilang's control, begin to adjust their flight angle from the initial dive to level with the ground.

Under the cover of night, Dong Shilang's group, flying close to the ground, hid beyond the visual range of the Stone Ninja lookout post.

Only when this group approached to about 300 meters away did they notice, due to the whistling sound brought by their extreme-speed flight!

"This is……"

"Enemy attack!!"

"Quick! Quick! Quick! Sound the alarm!!"

Two night-shift lookouts stared blankly at the looming, faintly visible huge shadow in the night, each feeling somewhat dazed.

However, the Stone Ninja assigned to such a critical outpost undoubtedly have decent mental fortitude; after only a momentary daze, the leading Stone Ninja had already regained composure.

He began to hoarsely shout!

Just 300 meters away, for those that had accelerated via dive, it was really too close; before the Stone Ninja lookouts could even issue an alarm, they had already rushed into the stronghold.
