Naruto: I, who fooled the ninja world, was hailed as a savior.

Chapter 420 Eye Technique: Eight Thunder Gods

Back then, Fugaku Uchiha witnessed Itachi Uchiha wielding a knife against his mother, and in his anger, hatred, and despair, he transformed into a Hollow of the Espada rank.

At the same time, she awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan and obtained two eye techniques, "Tasawa no Mikoto" and "Yomi no Tsu".

Tsuzawa-no-Mikoto is a deity formed from the tears of Izanagi's wife Izanami after she died giving birth to the fire god Kagutsuchi.

Mikoto Uchiha's soul was unconsciously absorbed by Fugaku using the "Eye Technique: Yomi-no-Tsu," just as Izanami in mythology entered the Land of the Dead after death.

Yomijin is a space-time ninjutsu. Unlike Obito Uchiha's Kamui, it cannot absorb living beings, but can only absorb souls or Hollows, and it connects the Hollow World and the Shinobi World.

At that time, Itachi Uchiha also awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, and one of the dojutsu he awakened was "Amaterasu," which was born from Izanagi.

Now, as the son of Fugaku Uchiha and Mikoto Uchiha, Sasuke Uchiha has awakened one of his eye techniques, called "Eight Thunder Gods".

—After Izanami fell into the underworld, her decaying body was covered by eight bolts of lightning, which are known as the "Eight Thunder Gods".

The head was occupied by "big thunder", the chest by "fire thunder", the abdomen by "black thunder", and the genitals by "dismantle thunder".

His left hand was occupied by "Ruo Lei", his right hand by "Tu Lei", his left foot by "Ming Lei", and his right foot by "Fu Lei".

This eye technique's effect is not just a simple amplification of lightning release nature transformation; it can also grant eight completely different effects depending on the user's will.

At this moment, Sasuke is using the technique located in the "lower yin" position, symbolizing "breaking through"...

"Defuse the mine!"

Guided by those Mangekyou Sharingan eyes, Sasuke raised his right hand and swung it downwards sharply, growling, "Give it to me..."

"break!"

With his movements, a pale bolt of lightning seemed to strike down from Takamagahara, tearing through the thick, inky rain clouds and forcefully connecting heaven and earth!

boom! !

A burst of blazing white light exploded out, instantly illuminating the gloomy sky of the Rain Kingdom and turning the allied forces and the floating behemoth below into a ghastly white expanse!
Unlike the destructive onslaught of "Lightning Release: Takemikazuchi", the lightning bolts instantly disintegrated into countless fine electric snakes the moment they touched the surface of the Amegakure barrier!
*Sizzle!*

The Amegakure barrier, which had been impossible to break no matter what attempts were made before, now groaned in despair before the "Thunderbolt," a device specifically designed to break barriers and seals.

It was as if a million pieces of glass shattered simultaneously; an ear-piercing noise drowned out the thunder; the barrier flickered wildly and erratically, its surface covered with a fine, spiderweb-like crack...

Click!

With a clear, crisp sound, the barrier that had kept everyone away from prying eyes turned into countless specks of light.

"The barrier was actually shattered?!" Mitarashi Anko couldn't help but exclaim, and the surrounding Allied Shinobi also perked up.

However, this excitement lasted only a moment.

After nearly two years, the true appearance of Amegakure was finally exposed to the world without any concealment, appearing before the shrunken pupils of all the Allied Shinobi Forces!
"Huh...huh..."

Sasuke Uchiha, who was forcibly controlling natural lightning by using his eye technique for the first time, was currently supporting himself on one knee, breathing heavily.

The burden of unleashing the "Eight Thunder Gods" is far beyond imagination. It is not only the consumption of chakra, but also the fatigue and stinging from the level of eye power and spirit.

He forced himself to steady his breathing, raised his still scarlet Mangekyou Sharingan, and stared intently at the target that had lost its barrier.

Everyone, including him, saw the full picture of Amegakure.

That can no longer be called "Amegakure".

It was a flying fortress that blended the industrial style of Amegakure with mechanical aesthetics.

At the bottom of the fortress, where the original underground section was located, countless enormous metal pipes coiled like the gnarled roots of a giant tree, forming an inverted triangular base.

What's even more chilling is that the base is surrounded by a dense array of gun barrels and missile silos, gleaming with a cold metallic luster under the gloomy sky.

The buildings that were originally on the ground, those steel towers filled with pipes, were also fitted with heavy decks and observation platforms, and equipped with weapons that resembled chakra cannons.

Most of the residential buildings and workshops have been transformed into neatly arranged hangars, barracks and warehouses, with exposed pipes and steel structures exuding a rugged and menacing atmosphere.

Outside the fortress, you can also see platforms used for the take-off and landing of flying ninja tools.

On that fortress, all the buildings guarded the towering, monstrous statue at the very center, a figure that could not be ignored.

It stands majestically at the very center of the entire aerial fortress, far exceeding the height of any other building, with a hand outstretched in front of it, holding a huge pipe in its palm!
A faint red glow appeared at the bowl of the pipe, which occasionally exhaled thick steam with sparks, emitting a low "whoosh...whoosh..." sound.

On that enormous demonic face, a pair of purple Rinnegan eyes looked down at the allied forces below.

From the colossus's slightly open mouth, a long metal tongue emerged, and on the tip of that tongue stood a figure.

Red hair flowing, a black robe with red clouds...

That's Nagato!
Nagato stood there, receiving a barrage of horrified, hateful, and fearful gazes.

Then, he raised one hand and gently waved it downwards.

hum! !

In an instant, the densely packed cannons and missile silos at the bottom of the fortress began to accumulate chakra and lit up with a dazzling light!
Countless beams of chakra poured down upon the massive wall defended by the Allied Forces below and the surrounding area!

"Tu Dun·Tu Liubi!"

The Earth Release ninjas in the allied forces reacted extremely quickly, completing their hand seals almost the instant the cannon fire lit up.

Thick earthen walls rose from the ground, layer upon layer, blocking the front and top of the giant wall.

Boom boom boom! ! !

The continuous explosions instantly dragged the world into a chaotic hell!

Blinding light, rolling flames, and towering mud and rocks completely engulfed the front line of the Allied forces' positions!

The sturdy earth walls and giant walls trembled violently under the full force of the firepower, constantly collapsing and crumbling, but the subsequent earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of magic or technique) desperately replenished them.

"Ugh!"

"Medical team! Someone's injured here!"

Screams and shouts could be heard sporadically between explosions.

Despite the coalition's swift response and timely defense, the sudden and incredibly dense saturation attack still resulted in casualties.

Some ninjas were hit by beams of light that pierced through gaps in the defenses, some were buried when the earthen walls collapsed and were unable to dodge in time, and some were killed by flying debris.

Fortunately, thanks to the effective defenses provided by the coalition forces, which relied on the massive walls and fortifications, the casualties from the first salvo were within acceptable limits and did not shake the foundation of the defenses.

Under the cover of this barrage of fire, the massive aerial fortress began to rumble and slowly adjust its course, its enormous shadow moving across the ground.

It started moving in a certain direction.

“That direction is…” Hiruzen Sarutobi stared intently at the fortress and said in a deep voice, “The Land of Hot Springs!”

The Akatsuki actually wants to take the entire Amegakure (Hidden Rain Village) to the Land of Hot Springs?!
Meanwhile, in the capital of the Land of Fire, at the Allied Forces Command Center.

Inside the spacious underground command hall, a huge ninja world sand table was placed on the table, marked with the enemy and friendly situations and troop deployments.

In front of the main table of the sand table, apart from the Fourth Raikage, who serves as the commander-in-chief of the Allied Forces and has already personally gone to the front lines, the other four Kage are all here.

Nara Shikaku and Azabui stood behind them as advisors.

In the center of the command room, there was a huge water sphere several meters in diameter, its surface as smooth as a mirror. Hyuga Iroha was concentrating with her eyes closed, her hands resting lightly on the water sphere.

In front of the water sphere, Yamanaka Inoichi sat cross-legged, wearing a device on his head connected by many wires.

He was the core of the coalition's liaison, communicating with liaison units across the region and units through the device, receiving frontline intelligence, and conveying the command's decisions.

At that moment, ripples suddenly spread across the surface of the water sphere, and Iroha's brows furrowed sharply.

Almost simultaneously, Yamanaka Inoichi's body trembled slightly, transmitting frontline intelligence to Nara Shikaku and the others, causing their expressions to change.

The allied forces successfully broke through the barrier of Amegakure and confirmed that the target had been transformed into an aerial fortress with extremely strong firepower!
We have just completed a round of overwhelming attacks on the blocking positions, causing minor casualties on our side. Currently, the fortress is moving towards the Land of Hot Springs!
"The Akatsuki organization actually transformed the entire village into an aerial fortress similar to the former 'Ankel Bandian' of the Sky Village..." Onoki said in a deep voice.

Although there were contingency plans in place for various extreme measures that the Akatsuki might take, including launching air raids using flying ninja tools or Hanzo using space-time ninjutsu to carry out a poison attack...

However, the crazy idea of ​​uprooting the entire base and launching an aerial attack still exceeded their expectations.

"Transform the entire ninja village, which has been cultivated for many years, into a mobile aerial fortress, integrating command, firepower, defense, and troop deployment..."

Nara Shikaku calmly said, "I have to admit that this was indeed an incredibly brilliant move, turning an absolute disadvantage into a relative advantage and a passive situation into an active one."

"The Akatsuki knew that they could not compete with our allied forces in terms of total strength and strategic depth. Holding onto Amegakure would only lead to endless attrition and being slowly surrounded and killed."

"But after converting it into a flying fortress, they were completely freed from their constraints and gained unprecedented mobility, rendering our encirclement and defenses almost ineffective."

Mei Terumi frowned and said, "They've probably integrated all their troops, resources, and technology into this mobile fortress."

"This has completely transformed Amegakure into a powerful firepower platform and defensive fortification. Combined with the Akatsuki's high-end combat capabilities, it will be very difficult for us to break through using conventional means."

"If we want to destroy it, our only option is an airborne assault, but that would likely come at a heavy price."

“At least we broke its barrier,” Hinata Kumokawa said. “Otherwise, the appearance of such a behemoth would have impacted our morale.”

"We would risk launching an airborne assault without fully understanding its internal structure and defensive deployment, which would result in incalculable casualties."

“The loss of the fortress's barrier presents the best opportunity.” He paused slightly, then continued, “Adjust the deployment based on the available intelligence.”

"Order all units at the front to proactively engage the enemy while ensuring their own safety, and to guard against any possible counterattacks."

"All units at the front are under the unified command of the Fourth Raikage, with other squads providing support."

"Fifth Division, while ensuring the safety of your own position, concentrate your long-range firepower to cover the exposed gun barrels at the bottom of the fortress and disrupt their operations."

"The main ground force of the Third Division, in coordination with the mobile forces of the Fourth Division, will advance under the cover of firepower from the Fifth Division, while being especially wary of the possibility that the Akatsuki may have left an ambush below the fortress."

"The Second Division provides mid-range support and the Seventh Division is responsible for dealing with and suppressing the enemy's air force."

"Once the enemy air force is deployed, it is imperative to intercept it in airspace far away from the coalition ground forces to ensure that air superiority does not fall into enemy hands."

"Understood!" Yamanaka Inoichi replied in a deep voice, the device on his head flashing slightly.

Information is transmitted over long distances through devices to nodes scattered across the battlefield.

At the border of the Land of Rain, a liaison ninja wearing a communication device on his head and sitting cross-legged on the ground shuddered and whispered, "Headquarters has sent out battle plans."

Soon, at the front line near Amegakure, the liaison ninja carrying a radio received the message and quickly said to his waiting comrade beside him, "Headquarters orders!"

"Quickly, inform the Commander-in-Chief and the captains of each squad of the deployment!"

As soon as the words were spoken, several figures broke through the rain and rushed toward the command positions of the Fourth Raikage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Kouta, Kakashi Hatake, and others.

"Captain, orders from headquarters!" The liaison ninja quickly relayed the information he had received.

"Hmph, you've finally arrived!" the Fourth Raikage said coldly. "Tell Hiruzen Sarutobi of the Fifth Division to give that iron turtle a tickle first, and force them out of here!"

"Everyone else, push forward, watch your step and watch the air!"

The order was quickly relayed, and the Allied forces, which had been somewhat disorganized by the shelling, immediately resumed high-speed operations on the battlefield.

The Fifth Division was the first to launch an attack, and the ninjas, who were already prepared, formed hand seals once again.

"Wind Escape·Vacuum Jade!"

"Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique!"

"Burning Escape·Steam Kill!"

Compared to the previous fire-style attacks that covered a wider area, this attack was more precise, tearing through the rain and striking the unprotected flying fortress like a sudden downpour.

The distance was too great; most of the ninjas' attacks dissipated and fell in mid-air, with only a few, such as those from Hiruzen Sarutobi and Pakura, posing a real threat to the fortress.

However, most of them were blown up in mid-air by the intercepting artillery fire that was quickly adjusted at the bottom of the fortress, turning into fireballs and turbulence, and were difficult to cause substantial damage.

Boom! Boom!
"Spread out and advance in stages!" Huang Tu's deep voice echoed. "Earth-遁 (Earth-遁) squad, be ready to respond to defensive artillery fire!"

Meanwhile, on the aircraft take-off and landing platform of Rainbow Fortress.

Sizzle! Sizzle!

Groups of aerial ninjas, carrying uniformly designed flying ninja tools, were launched into the air and quickly formed attack formations.

They still use kunai rapid-fire guns, but now they can add chakra nature transformation and fire explosive bullets that were once used for throwing.

The one leading the air force was Wuwei, who stood on the back of "Wu", with Kakuzu's wind-style clones beside him.

"How pathetic," the Wind Release clone lamented. "The sky is our domain."

As soon as he finished speaking, his wings suddenly flapped, and the blue feathers stood on end, their edges gleaming with a metallic light as they shot out, transforming into countless incomparably sharp wind blades.

Wind Release: Wind Feather Blade!
The air force behind them was also divided into several squads, firing a dense barrage of kunai and explosive bullets from their ninja tools.

A barrage of kunai and detonating grenades rained down on the advancing Allied Shinobi Forces, suppressing their advance and long-range firepower.

But just then, as if sensing something, Wuwei and his Wind Release clones suddenly looked up and saw dozens of clay spiders raining down from above...

"Let me show you my art!"

Deidara stood on his clay Asuka, his golden hair whipping wildly in the wind, a smile of excitement on his face. He raised his hands to form a hand seal and uttered a low shout: "Crack!"

boom! Boom boom boom!
