Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 147 Landing

Watching the figure flying in the sky

After a brief moment of stunned silence, Yekura, the Jonin leading the team, immediately realized what was happening.

Although I was amazed by the other person's response, I couldn't understand why they could fly in the air.

But none of this changes the fact that the other party is a Konoha ninja, and is their enemy.

There's no time to be stunned right now!

"Kenichi! Send the signal immediately to notify the other teams to come and help hunt down the enemy!"

"And there's Sand City! Forget about the ballistae over there, capturing them is the priority now!"

"Yes, Captain!"

Upon receiving the order, the two subordinates did not hesitate at all. One of them began to take out a signal flare from his personal belongings in preparation for firing.

The other one also put down his scroll and stopped sealing the machine.

"They've flown southeast, Sand City! You come with me to give chase. Kenichi, when reinforcements arrive, you're in charge of explaining the situation to them."

"We'll leave markers along the way!"

Before she could finish speaking, Yekura had already taken the first step and chased after Toshiro.

The other party is flying too fast. If we don't move quickly, we will soon lose track of them.

Although the ninja's speed is fast, how can it compare to Toshiro flying through the air!

Moreover, as the other person's altitude continues to decrease, the distance between them is constantly increasing, and the other person will soon disappear from her sight.

"Damn it~"

While exerting his strength, he leaped to an even higher treetop, hoping to keep the other person in his sight for longer, and muttered a curse in frustration.

She truly hadn't expected that the other party would have such a method, that they could find a way to land her safely from thousands of meters in the air.

Although she hadn't seen the other person land yet, she was certain from just this short observation that the other person would escape safely!

She had recovered from her initial shock and was now certain that the other party was not actually flying, but rather gliding like a bird.

As time goes by, it will gradually decrease in altitude until it finally approaches the ground, but by then, the opponent's speed will likely be extremely fast.

It was obviously impossible to land safely using ordinary methods, but she believed that since the other side had prepared such a system, they must have been well prepared for what was to come.

But if that happens, won't my ambush be a complete failure...?

While thinking about these things, she began to exert force with her long legs, ignoring her subordinates behind her, and began to sprint at top speed towards the direction where the figure was about to disappear from her sight.

"Captain! Wait for me... If you keep wasting your chakra like this... it'll be dangerous when we get close to the target!"

Behind her, the puppeteer Sha Cheng, who was struggling to keep up with her pace, quickened his pace once again upon seeing his captain.

He couldn't help but say with some concern...

At the captain's current speed, by the time he gets close to the enemy, his chakra will probably be quite depleted.

"Sand City! I'm going first, you follow later~"

Completely ignoring the other party's well-intentioned reminder, Ye Cang continued to do as she pleased, simply giving the other party a brief explanation before slowly disappearing from their sight.

Border of the Land of Fire.

At this moment, an arm emerged from below the water level in a small river that branched off from the land of rivers.

As the chakra in his hands continued to be released, a figure slowly emerged from the water.

It was Toshiro who descended from the sky.

By this time, he was soaked from head to toe by the river, and he was wearing a strange-looking outfit.

If an ordinary person from his previous life were here at this moment, they would definitely recognize that this is the wingsuit that often appeared on the internet in his previous life.

However, compared to the wingsuit he wore in his previous life, his was rather rudimentary.

Not only was there no parachute for landing, but the flight suit itself also had many problems, lacking even basic features to help the pilots protect themselves from the wind.

If this were in a previous life, even if an ordinary person wore this outfit and jumped from a great height, they would certainly die.

It wasn't that he didn't want to arrange all of these things; it was just that he had searched the entire Hidden Leaf Village but hadn't found a suitable place to manufacture them.

When the merchants who specialize in making ninja supplies saw his design drafts, they all shook their heads and said they were powerless to help him.

Even the cat grandmother in the cat village was in a dilemma. She simply said she could try, but... it would cost extra!

This stumped Toshiro, who had been increasingly strapped for cash lately. However, for the sake of his own life, he gritted his teeth and took out his most treasured savings account to order this set of props worth 500,000 taels.

When delivering the goods, looking at Granny Cat's smiling face and then at the bankbook with half the money gone in an instant, Toshiro's heart was clenching. Those were truly his last savings!

He did consider using a parachute; given the technology of that era, it was still barely possible to build a large parachute.

However, with parachutes, once they open in the air, it becomes difficult to control one's landing point. At that point, the situation of being surrounded upon landing could very well become a reality.

According to Granny Cat, this parachute is larger than Toshiro knew, and there's no guarantee it will open in the air...

It might not open!

This……

He also considered using a powerless hang glider, but its size and the fact that it required a running start made Toshiro reluctantly give up and choose this tool that he hadn't had much contact with in his previous life.

In fact, his flight was not entirely reliant on his own strength and the wind as Yekura had imagined. In places she couldn't see, Toshiro used a certain degree of wind release, which allowed him to glide smoothly through the air.

Moreover, during the descent, because the speed was so fast, he had to choose this small river to cushion the impact. In addition, before the actual landing, he also used a fire-style ninjutsu to slow himself down.

He was incredibly grateful that he could perform ninjutsu with one hand; otherwise, he didn't know what would have happened to him.

Even so, he still ended up in a terrible mess!
