I am the new Hokage of Konoha.

On the seas of the Land of Waves.

Three aircraft carriers, which had been captured from the remnants of the Sky Ninja, set sail from the Land of Fire base, carrying three other new aircraft carriers that Konoha had specially built in recent years, traversing the waters of the Land of Waves and heading towards a more distant destination.

On the aircraft carrier, a Konoha ninja wearing an orange vest exclaimed to his companion, "Finally, I can show off my skills!"

“Yes!” the other person nodded.

As a member of the air force, he and his comrades have done nothing but secretly train all these years.

Although the monthly allowance was substantial, it still felt somewhat awkward for him, who had spent most of his life receiving payment for completing tasks, to receive so much income without making any contribution.

"Now it's all good. After holding back for so many years, we can finally make a big splash. It's time to shut up those who are unhappy with the cost of our aircraft carrier battle group. It's also time to show those country bumpkins from the Mist Ninja what a dimensional reduction attack really means!"

"Haha! That's true!"

The two chatted animatedly.

Such conversations also occur throughout the aircraft carrier strike group.

Just as everyone was gearing up for action, in the aircraft carrier battle group's command center, a communications officer from the Mountain Clan received intelligence from afar and immediately reported to the fleet commander:

"Sir, Shikamei, Miyashiro, and Buffalo, the former Fenghuang four islands have been captured by our allies. Headquarters has ordered us to proceed at full speed and officially launch the 'Peace' plan."

"I understand." The middle-aged man named Aokihara, the commander of the Konoha carrier fleet, nodded solemnly and immediately gave orders to those around him, "Notify all crew members, the 'Peace' plan is officially activated, Level One combat readiness. All ships, full speed ahead, target: the Land of Water!"

"Yes!"

Instantly, a loud alarm blared, accompanied by a public announcement.

The aircraft carrier crew and all the ninjas in the flight squadron immediately sprang into action, following the steps they had taken in the previous exercise.

Soon, the aircraft carrier fleet, moving at twice the speed of before and with all its power at full speed, sliced ​​through long waves on the ocean and officially set off for the Land of Water.

The so-called "peace" plan was a plan that had been practiced in the Konoha General Staff and stored in the secret archives. Now that the situation was right, it was a plan that could be used against the Land of Water.

Unlike other countries that have clashed, the Water Ninja, who are isolated overseas, must travel by ship if they want to attack the Fire Ninja.

While a qualified ninja can walk on water, this requires a continuous consumption of chakra.

Putting aside the distance between the Land of Fire and the Land of Water, it remains to be seen whether the Mist Ninja can arrive before their chakra runs out.

Even if they manage to arrive, exhausted and with only a fraction of their chakra remaining, they would ultimately be nothing more than offering themselves up as meat to eat when facing the well-rested Konoha ninja.

Unless the higher-ups in the Mist Ninja make a foolish mistake, they will definitely prepare a large number of ships to transport the Mist Ninja army.

Therefore, Konoha decided to launch a surprise attack on the major ports of the Land of Water, destroying all the ships carrying Kirigakure ninja.

With the four islands of the Land of Waves, Shikamaru, Miyashiro, Buffalo, and the former Houjiro already under control and unable to transmit information, coupled with the powerful force of an aircraft carrier that combines long-range navigation and air-to-ground advantages, the success rate of this surprise attack would undoubtedly be very high.

The plan was named "Peace" because after destroying all the ships of the Land of Water, whether by choice or by force, the Mist Ninja would be unable to conduct cross-sea operations for a short period of time.

Konoha's actions will allow both sides to enter a period of peace in the near future.

That's why it was given this name.

In fact, Yun Ting originally wanted to name it "Pearl Harbor Project," since it was quite similar to his previous world's attack plan in some ways.

However, upon considering the consequences of the attack on Pearl Harbor, he rejected the idea.

Soon, after the six aircraft carriers sped away from the Land of Waves, the four islands of Shikamei, Miyashiro, Buffalo, and the former Houjiro also passed through.

As can be seen, the smoke of war still lingers on these not-so-large islands.

As they passed each other, the carrier strike group sounded its horn to greet the friendly forces on the island, and the Konoha friendly forces on the island responded with fireworks.

"Is this... that aircraft carrier?"

On Miyashiro Island, a Konoha ninja who had just finished bandaging his wounds looked with great curiosity at the massive, beast-like ships on the sea not far away.

This was the first time he had ever seen such a huge iron lump floating on the sea.

“That should be it.” The companion beside him, who was also meeting them for the first time, shrugged and said, “I heard that the thousands of us rushed here in a hurry and did all sorts of tasks to create conditions for these lumps of iron. They are the real main force going forward.”

"The real main force? Can they handle it?"

"Who knows?"

"..."

Because Konoha's secrecy was so thorough, even Konoha ninjas who were their own people were unaware of the aircraft carrier's power, let alone the Mist Ninja.

The latter probably didn't expect the aircraft carrier to come aboard.

This is also a key factor in the success of the "peace" plan.

At this moment, neither allies nor the enemy knew the situation, but only he and his colleagues knew it very well. The aircraft carrier fleet commander, Aokihara, was diligently doing his job.

As can be seen, on the aircraft carrier deck, every now and then a flying ninja tool, which has undergone many improvements, is piloted by Konoha ninjas and cuts through the sky, heading towards the distance to scout, so as to ensure that the fleet is not detected by outsiders.

They were very lucky afterwards.

They did not find any Mist Ninja along the way, clearly they never expected that Konoha would cross the sea to attack their homeland.

As for the occasional fishing boats encountered in the open sea, Konoha did not make things difficult for them after ascertaining their identities, even knowing that there were civilians from the Land of Water among them.

At the speed of an aircraft carrier, these fishing boats can't even catch up.

Even if they wanted to go back and report, it would be too late.

Finally, three hours after the aircraft carriers set sail, before Yun Ting's Konoha forces had even reached Kumogakure, six aircraft carriers, a hundred miles from the Land of Water's coastline, were officially ready to attack.

"Targets: Nayu Port, Nagakkou Port, and Otani Port. All aircraft carriers will be deployed in pairs. Now, in my capacity as Commander-in-Chief of the Fleet, I order all air squadrons to commence operations immediately!"

Without hesitation, Aoki gave the order and the six aircraft carriers immediately sprang into action.

Thanks to their "good teammates," the Mist Ninja, who had been deliberately scavenging ships from the Land of Water and concentrating them in the three ports of Nayo, Meikyo, and Otani, the Mist Ninja army could board the ships, and the aircraft carriers' air strike targets did not need to be expanded.

Soon, amidst the urgent ringing of bells, Konoha ninjas wearing flying ninja tools on their backs emerged from the ship's cabin in neat formation, stepped onto the deck, boarded the takeoff and landing aircraft, and after a brief elevator ride, they proceeded one by one to the flight propulsion unit under the guidance of the aircraft carrier's staff.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh...

In the following time, a series of rapid, whistling sounds echoed continuously.

With the immense thrust of the propulsion system, Konoha ninjas equipped with flying ninja tools quickly soared into the air.

Once all the Konoha ninjas aboard the six aircraft carriers had taken off, the once blue sky was now covered by yellow flying ninja tools.

Amidst deafening roars, countless flying ninja tools hovered above the aircraft carrier under the command of Konoha ninjas.

Before long, under the command of the squadron, platoon, and battalion commanders, nearly a thousand flying ninja vehicles quickly lined up and formed three massive flying groups, heading towards the ports of Nayo, Meikyo, and Otani respectively.

The air raids have just begun!

......

Nayugang.

As the main port for the Mist Ninja army during the Three Kingdoms period, the port has not only remained well-preserved over the years, but has also been expanded in recent years with the investment of funds from the Daimyo's government in the Land of Water. It has now become the largest port in the Land of Water.

Therefore, in the lead-up to the Fourth Shinobi World War, the port of Nayu was filled with the most ships that had been conscripted from the Land of Water and were specifically for the use of the Kirigakure ninja.

If viewed from above, one can see a vast expanse of ships that have completely covered the surrounding sea area.

On land, a large number of Mist Ninja have already gathered here, preparing for the great battle two days later.

The Konoha spies lurking in the Land of Water had long been aware of the situation of the ships in Nayu Port.

This resulted in the largest number of Konoha Air Force units attacking Nayu Port during this air raid.

Before long, small black dots began to appear on the distant horizon of Nayu Port.

Unless it's the Byakugan, it's hard to tell what it is, so the Yu Gang Mist Ninjas didn't pay much attention at first.

As the eerie buzzing sound grew louder, the Mist Ninja, finally realizing something was wrong, began to look around suspiciously.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

"Where is that strange noise coming from? Go and find out if someone is deliberately causing trouble."

"That sound... it sounds like the noise made by the air force team that the village set up a few years ago! Is it them?"

No one suspected that an enemy had invaded.

Being isolated overseas presents various disadvantages.

However, these disadvantages also meant that the Land of Water never allowed the flames of war to reach its homeland during the previous three Shinobi World Wars.

No ninja from any country would be foolish enough to fight the Kirigakure on the sea.

Konoha, currently besieged on all sides, is even less likely to be affected.

Therefore, even the Mist Ninja who guessed that the noise was coming from the flying ninja tool did not expect it to be someone from Konoha, and only thought it was the work of their own Mist Ninja.

The other four major powers that experienced World War II had all heard of flying ninja tools, and some moldy war trophy warehouses even contained the long-decayed remains of flying ninja tools.

The spies from the four great ninja villages haven't been idle all these years. They've learned about Konoha's plans to develop flying ninja tools and establish an air force.

Therefore, it is not surprising that the Kirigakure, not wanting to lag behind, also has an air force.

Limited by financial and technological constraints, it was merely a small-scale operation compared to Konoha.

While the group of Mist Ninja remained oblivious, instead listening with great curiosity to the increasingly loud "buzzing" sound,

From the sea, under the sunlight, the dark mass of Konoha's air force, after rapidly closing the distance, finally revealed their true forms.

"Is this our flight squadron? There are so many?" Thanks to the recent news about the Mist Ninja flight squadron, most of the Mist Ninja thought it was their own unit when they saw this scene, and were about to wave happily.

Only one person, the Mist Ninja who had leaked the news of the Mist Ninja Flying Squad, instantly changed his expression and shouted in utter terror:

"Enemy attack!"

Chapter 247 The Mist Ninja's Response

"Enemy attack!"

A sharp roar echoed within the Mist Ninja camp.

Upon first hearing this, the other Mist Ninja's initial reaction was disbelief.

"Enemy attack? What enemy attack?"

"Are you kidding me? How could the Land of Water be attacked?"

"Someone is deliberately causing trouble!"

"..."
