Chapter 187 Wings of the Wind
"team leader."

"The captain is back."

Jianchuan Ju folded his wings and landed steadily on the deck of the aircraft carrier. Immediately, logistics personnel came over and handed him water and towels.

The rest of the Jianchuanju team members also landed on the deck one after another, and some began to help dismantle the hang glider.

"Captain Jianchuan led the team again with zero casualties this time."

"Don't you see who led the team? Didn't Captain Jianchuan have zero casualties that time?"

"Of course! Captain Jianchuan is the Wind Wing of our Kirigakure!"

Faced with the endless compliments from all around, Jianchuan Ju simply smiled brightly and didn't take them too seriously.

He waved his hand to signal his team members to look over.

"Alright, quickly collect the equipment and return home early to hand over to Team 1 and Team 4. You can rest for a while."

"Yes!"

"Long live the captain!"

The team members under his command quickly sped up their movements, and the aircraft carrier and frigate quickly left the coastline and headed towards the Whirlpool Island camp.

Jianchuanju walked over to Lanzai and helped him take down and put away the hang glider together with the logistics staff.

Nearly five months have passed since the Hidden Mist front launched a general attack on the Konoha camp.

Due to the failure of that general offensive, the war on the front lines between the two countries of Water and Fire subsided for a period of time.

However, the absence of war does not mean that Jianchuanju can rest.

Within a few days, his new appointment was announced.

An 11-year-old jonin, he also serves as the squad leader of the Kirigakure's new army, the Aerial Tactical Special Forces.

It also caused quite a stir in the front-line camp at that time.

Fortunately, Jianchuan Tachibana had performed well in the previous two battles. First, he and the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Ninja Sect attracted half of the Konoha ninjas out of the camp to lay the foundation for a great victory for the Kirigakure, and then he directly killed Mandrake on the battlefield, greatly reducing the losses of the Kirigakure.

Although the second battle was not as impressive as the previous one, he and Lan Zai also killed more than ten Konoha ninjas.

Many people have seen Jianchuan Ju's strength and achievements.

Moreover, as a medical ninja, Jianchuan Tachibana had participated in front-line treatment earlier and had also gained recognition from some of the Kirigakure ninjas.

This also meant that Jianchuan Ju no longer needed to use his "magic gun healing technique" to open up the situation. The commotion in the camp was quickly quelled after people who knew about Jianchuan Ju's deeds spread the news.

However, this promotion also let more people know that a truly talented young man had appeared in the village.

Even the two new ninja swordsmen were overshadowed by most of the limelight.

After officially taking office as the captain of the "Air Department" and understanding the situation, Jianchuan Ju was also shocked.

I had thought that as a squad leader, I could at most lead one or two flying squadrons to fight. However, who would have thought that the more than 200 flying ninjas under the Air Department were only divided into four squadrons.

That’s right, there are four aircraft carriers, each of which belongs to an independent air force.

And because the captain and logistics are all composed of a few Chunins and a large number of Genins, they are also under the jurisdiction of the Sky Department.

So Jianchuan Ju is actually the supreme commander of this aircraft carrier.

The leap from a Chunin to a Jonin commander is a huge achievement.

Of course, there is still some gap between him and some Genin who directly become Kage.

After that, Jianchuan Ju only roughly understood the operation mode of the air department and the situation of his own team members. The war between the two countries of water and fire was reignited.

Just as Jianchuan Tachibana had expected, because of the previous defeat, even though Orochimaru forced back the Kirigakure troops by using a strategy that inflicted losses on both sides, he was able to save Konoha's front-line camp.

However, Konoha's military strength was still beginning to be stretched.

While Konoha continued to send reinforcements to the Land of Whirlpools, the other three major ninja villages that received the intelligence also increased their investment in the war.

First of all, the Sand Village, which had originally intended to withdraw from the Ninja World War, once again marched into the Land of Rivers, forcing the Konoha Western Army to not dare to reduce its troops at all. Not only was Jiraiya himself locked up at the border of the Land of Rivers, but Tsunade was also forced to rush to the front line again.

Immediately afterwards, the Iwagakure Village and the Raigakure Village announced their alliance in a high-profile manner, and then the two countries fought to the homeland of the Fire Nation.

It was not until the Third Hokage of Konoha, Sarutobi Hiruzen, led a large number of reinforcements to support, and the yellow flash Minato Namikaze also appeared, that the front line was stabilized with difficulty.

The intelligence from the Hidden Mist Village also made it clear why Minato Namikaze frequently appeared on various battlefields.

The art of Flying Thunder God.

Kirigakure simply gave up the idea of ​​consuming a large number of troops to destroy the Konoha front-line camp in one go, and instead chose to rely on the advantages of the air force cooperating with the ground forces to continuously consume the manpower of the Konoha front line.

The annihilation of small units, destruction of strongholds, and cutting off of logistical supplies, as well as countless air raids, have made the reputation of the 'Kirigakure Air Tactical Special Forces' resound throughout the ninja world.

Although the Kirigakure did not actually build a camp within the territory of the Land of Fire, Konoha's defense line was retreating again and again, and even the front-line camp was moved back twice.

In fact, the eastern coastline of the Land of Fire is completely under the control of Kirigakure.

In this five-month-long tug-of-war, the most eye-catching person was not the current Minister of the Air Force, Harusame.

He is the only one in the entire unit who does not need the help of equipment to fly, the 11-year-old captain of the air section, Jianchuan Ju.

Fast and flexible flight, a wide variety of long-range attack ninjutsu, melee weapons over ten meters long, nearly unstoppable high-altitude bombing capabilities, and Lan Zai's proficiency in flying equipment make him the most tacit wingman.

With the blessing of various advantages, Jianchuanju became the most handsome guy in the sky above the battlefields of the Water and Fire countries.

With his frequent attacks, Tachibana Jianchuan also made a name for himself in the ninja world, the Wings of the Wind.

Well, actually, Jianchuanju himself feels a little embarrassed to hear this title.

When Jianchuan Orange first came to prominence, it was given a variety of names.

There are all kinds of names like "Flying Bakugo", "Frog Ninja", "Mist Hidden Green Wing", etc.

It was only later, thanks to Jianchuan Ju's continuous secret guidance from within, that he finally got a fairly acceptable title.

His outstanding performances time and time again, and his growing reputation, made Jianchuan Ju extremely popular throughout the Air Force and even in the front-line camp.

Not to mention Harusame who is his direct superior, even Karutagi Yagura no longer mentions the word "recruiting" in his recent conversations with Jianchuan Tachibana.

Instead, he gradually began to put Jianchuan Ju on a position where they could communicate on an equal footing.

After all, it can be said that most of the advantages of the Hidden Mist Village on the front line are based on the excellent performance of the Sora Ninja.

When ordinary Sorabe ninjas were resting in the front-line camp, their chins were several centimeters higher than others.

However, even though the war at Kirigakure is going smoothly, the village is developing rapidly, and its strength is steadily increasing, it seems that everything is going well for Jianchuan Ju, but it also has troubles that others don't know about.

Walking into his single cabin, Jianchuan Ju casually threw the ninja tool bag to the foot of the bed.

His brows gradually furrowed, his hands hung down limply, and he sat down with a sigh.

Knowing the reason, Lanzai walked up to his master and patted his shoulder. He walked to the corner of the room with a helpless look on his face and sat down cross-legged.

"Ah, why is this ordinary pool so pitfall!"
