473. Blitzkrieg X2

At the break of dawn the next day, after a brief farewell with the others, Danzō officially led his troops into battle.

For this surprise attack, he only brought his top disciple, Shisui Uchiha, and Ryoma Aburame, the Seven-Tails Jinchūriki.

In addition, there was an elite force of two thousand Konoha shinobi.

Under Danzō's leadership, everyone quickly boarded three aircraft carriers.

Then, under the control of the air force personnel, these three aircraft carriers swiftly headed toward the Land of Lightning!

It must be said that when it comes to surprise attacks, aircraft carriers are revolutionary.

The distance from Konoha to the capital of the Land of Lightning would take about two to three days by train.

If relying on foot travel, it would take even longer—even for shinobi with physical abilities far surpassing ordinary people, it would take at least five days.

But aircraft carriers are different. In less than a day, they had already crossed the border of the Land of Lightning and arrived above the capital.

Due to the high altitude, the three aircraft carriers appeared as tiny, almost imperceptible black dots.

Even the reconnaissance shinobi of Kumogakure couldn't detect them at such a distance.

Thus, they encountered almost no obstacles and successfully reached their destination.

"Next, let the Land of Lightning feel the power of Konoha."

Danzō stood on the deck of the aircraft carrier, feeling the oncoming gale, his eyes filled with anticipation.

Under his command, the three aircraft carriers began to descend rapidly.

When they finally broke through the clouds and emerged like whales from the sky, the shinobi of Kumogakure below finally saw what was coming.

"It's Konoha's aircraft carriers!!"

Someone shouted first, followed by a wave of panic.

"Enemy attack!"

"Enemy attack!!"

In an instant, alarms blared throughout the capital.

Seeing this, Danzō smiled slightly.

"Attack, begin!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the air force shinobi, who had been preparing for this moment, quickly pressed the corresponding buttons.

The bomb bays beneath the aircraft carriers opened, and countless missiles poured out.

A total of three to four hundred ground missiles looked like a dense school of sardines swimming in the sea.

In the next moment, these missiles, with their piercing screeches, descended toward their targets below with unstoppable force.

Although the shinobi of Kumogakure reacted immediately, they couldn't organize an effective defense in such a short time.

They could only watch as the suddenly incoming missiles rained down on the ground at incredible speed.

Countless explosions rang out, and terrifying flames and shockwaves tore apart numerous buildings.

The once-bustling capital was now transformed into a fiery, brutal hell.

"Damn it, it's Konoha!"

The Fourth Raikage, A, was the first to charge out.

Unfortunately, while he was powerful, he lacked the ability to fly.

Faced with these aircraft carriers and missiles, he was utterly helpless.

At that moment, Killer B rushed past him.

He immediately entered his full Tailed Beast Mode.

The massive form of the Eight-Tails, Gyūki, rose from the ground, its eight giant octopus tails forming a solid barrier that swept away several incoming missiles!

Then, its tails spread open, and a black Tailed Beast Ball rapidly formed in its gaping mouth.

"Damn Konoha bastards, let me show you what I can do!"

With Killer B's roar in the mental space, the Eight-Tails' mouth snapped shut, and the Tailed Beast Ball transformed into a terrifying energy wave that shot toward the sky.

Its speed was so fast that the Konoha shinobi had no time to react, and the massive aircraft carriers couldn't evade in time.

"Well done, B!"

The Fourth Raikage couldn't help but punch the air in excitement.

Unfortunately, the scenario he imagined—the aircraft carriers exploding—didn't happen.

The overwhelmingly powerful energy wave didn't hit the Konoha fleet. Instead, it was blocked by a single figure.

"That's..."

"Danzō Shimura."

The Third and Fourth Raikage, father and son, immediately wore grave expressions when they saw the figure clearly.

After all, both of them had suffered greatly at Danzō's hands.

The Third Raikage had died at his hands, and the Fourth had lost numerous battles to him, shattering Kumogakure's dream of becoming the strongest in the ninja world.

Thus, when they saw Danzō personally taking the field, their wariness was almost impossible to hide.

Of course, Danzō was also surprised.

Seeing the Third Raikage's body covered in cracks, he raised an eyebrow in surprise.

"Impure World Reincarnation?"

"It seems that Orochimaru is involved..."

He quickly deduced the truth.

Throughout the history of the ninja world, only Tobirama Senju, Orochimaru, and Kabuto had the ability to master the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

Tobirama had long been dead, so he could be ruled out.

Kabuto was still young and, as his student, could also be ruled out.

That left only Orochimaru.

Moreover, Orochimaru had a history of assisting Obito in attacking Konoha, so it made sense for him to join the Allied Forces now.

"But none of that matters."

Danzō narrowed his eyes, and a terrifying aura erupted from his body.

Like a natural disaster, it swept through the capital of the Land of Lightning like an avalanche.

Everyone looked up in shock amidst the sea of flames. Against the backdrop of the firelight, the figure rapidly descending from the sky looked like a god.

A god of war, flames, and hell!

"Let me see the power of your father-son duo."

Danzō's eyes glowed with a crimson light as his Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan activated fully. A massive Susanoo descended like a meteor from the sky.

Faced with such provocation, the Third and Fourth Raikage, father and son, did not retreat.

Instead, they exchanged a glance, their eyes burning with fighting spirit.

"Don't underestimate the bond between father and son, damn Danzō!"

With that, they both stomped heavily on the ground.

The tremendous force instantly shattered the ground beneath their feet, and the two charged upward against the wind, one on the left and one on the right, heading straight for the Susanoo!

Meanwhile, Killer B, in his Eight-Tails form, prepared to move in to support them but was blocked by a figure.

"Sorry, your opponent is me."

Shisui Uchiha, Danzō's top disciple, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Konoha, and the heir to the title of "Darkness of the Shinobi," slowly opened his eyes.

A pair of crimson, swirling Mangekyō Sharingan were revealed before Killer B and the Eight-Tails.

A terrifying surge of chakra erupted from his body, coalescing into a green Susanoo.

Wielding a long spear, it pointed directly at the Eight-Tails.
