Uchiha's Counterattack

After the explosion, the wreckage was left all over the ground and the aerial fortress still standing at a height of 1,000 meters.

Although thick smoke and flames were burning out from many places throughout the body, some surface armor did not hurt the core part. The culprits who caused this aerial disaster, in addition to the Red Sand Scorpion, which was confirmed to have been broken up by the puppet body, and Deidara, whose right hand was blown off by the explosion, also suffered heavy losses on the side of Shinkoye.

Although the air fortress was protected, nearly fifty windfighters on the periphery that set out in advance... without exception, all of them were not affected by explosions. Most of them turned into heroic sacrifices in the air fireballs. A small number of them escaped from far away, but less than ten bodies survived.

It can be said that the First and Second Air Forces were basically wiped out, while the Third and Fourth Air Forces did not have time to eject out, but luckily escaped the catastrophe and left a chance to breathe for the fortress in the air.

At this time, a large number of firefighters rushed up on the deck and used ninjutsu and water pipes to extinguish the burning fire. There were three layers of divided armor under the surface deck and then the hangar. The fire must be extinguished quickly, otherwise the fire might spread and it would burn directly to the hangar, and the loss would be great at that time.

“…Ahem, how is the loss?”

Uchiha Taege was sitting on the deck. At this time, his strong body was as weak as if he had leaked air, and the old aura on his face became deeper. However, the eyes of Uchiha Taege were still so sharp and bright, as if he was a sword out of his body, ready to kill the possible enemies at any time and anywhere.

"The enemy has retreated, Lord Taige."

"The first and second aviation brigades were all destroyed, the first captain Uchiha Takagi survived, and the second captain died in the pursuit battle. We have reported the matter here, and soon Xinkoye will get news."

"Um……"

Uchiha Taegao nodded, and he closed his eyes a little tired.

At this time, the sky was rendered by the fire, and an old man with white hair and naked upper body slowly closed his eyes against the broken deck. Open Suza, facing the Sora Bomb, and protected the base under the high temperature of thousands of degrees Celsius. In order to defeat the enemy, he forced the eight doors to break the old man, and with his 70-year-old body, he fought the powerful enemy of the Akatsuki organization without any power to fight back... No, to be precise, it was a one-sided crush.

This record may appear a little "stingy" when it comes to Xia Nan, but if he is placed on other Uchiha tribe members, and this tribe is an old man in his seventies, the shock he will undoubtedly be much stronger.

Facing the hot wind coming towards us, looking at the sky stained by flames and thick smoke...

At that moment, Uchiha Taege suddenly felt a strong sense of satisfaction, and a string tense in his heart also loosened. In fact, Uchiha Taege has been under too much pressure for a long time. It is obviously an old man in his seventies, but he still ranks high. It is rare in Uchiha tribe.

And after all, this position was originally scheduled for Lord Kuroizumi or one of the two Eimons. But that day, Lord Xia Nan stared at him for a few seconds and decided to designate him to sit in this position. At that time, many people could not understand Lord Xia Nan's thoughts, and it seemed that only Lord Shirazumi and Lord Kuroizumi looked at him thoughtfully.

Lord Zuoemon has always been focused on managing family internal affairs, and has become increasingly weak in external affairs in recent years. It seems that they no longer pursue anything other than the family, and this is exactly what Lord Xia Nan expected.

Uchiha Taego lowered his head and suddenly smiled...

Ah, that lord may have seen this scene today long ago.

That's why I decided in advance to let me sit here.

Predicting the future? No, that may be just one of the countless magical means of that adult. Now even if he says he is the reincarnation of a god, there is nothing to be surprised about.

After all, for the Uchiha clan, his existence is already the same as that of the gods. Even if one day Lord Xia Nan wants the whole clan to commit suicide for a better tomorrow, every clan must be excited and happy to promise. They are not afraid of death, because that is the order of Lord Xia Nan of Uchiha. Lord Xia Nan is the guardian god and protector of the Uchiha clan. How could he deceive the clan?

So if the order is to die, then do it like this. Don’t think about boring ideas such as right or wrong. Just do it according to the adult’s ideas and it will be correct - after all, it is the God’s own command.

The countless tribesmen behind me, you must continue to follow the will of that adult.

No matter what happens, no matter how desperate you go, don't be afraid. Because ahead of us, there will inevitably be figures burning like the scorching sun, illuminating the road ahead for the Uchiha clan, dispelling endless darkness, and bringing our entire clan into a new future. This is the power of that adult.

"Ah... the figure of that adult is as dazzling as the sun's brilliance. Our clan... is so lucky..."

The sharp light gradually faded in Uchiha Taige's eyes. He looked at the starry sky above his head with a light smile.

"Let the flames continue to burn until the darkness of this world is burned out."

“……Master Taige?”

Taige finally looked at his deputy Uchiha Sora and Uchiha Ki. These two are also very outstanding Uchiha. Everyone who can be arranged here seems to have carefully adjusted it. Perhaps, this is also Lord Xia Nan's intentional arrangement.

Haha, what a thoughtful adult.

"You two..."

"exist!"

"I'm a little tired... I need to take a rest..."

The light in Uchiha Taegao's eyes gradually weakened, and his breathing became smoother. His face looked rosy and satisfied, just as he felt as if he had no regrets before his death and generously welcomed the end of his life.

Finally, at this time, Uchiha Sora and Uchiha Ki could no longer control their emotions. Their eyes turned red in an instant, and tears began to condense in the corners of their eyes.

However, he was unwilling to let his mentor see his inability to see him, so Uchiha Sora and Uchiha Ki held back and did not cry.

"…Zun, Zun, Master Zun, please have a good rest!"

Kong Ye has a feminine appearance and a gentle temperament like a girl. It has always made Taige feel that he is too weak. However, he has to admit that he is the most valued disciple of Taige, and his talent in fire escape and illusion is at least among the top ten in the clan.

"Is that so? Then I'll feel relieved."

Uchiha Taege forced himself to lift his heavy eyelids and glanced at his two disciples, showing a gratifying smile on his face... Then the smile gradually dimmed, and Taege's eyes slowly closed.

At that moment, Uchiha Taego's arm slid down.

———

At this moment, the two people who could no longer bear the sadness in their hearts made crying sounds.

However, the cry lasted only a few seconds before it came to an abrupt end, like a duck whose neck was pinched.

because……

Their master was snoring like thunder.

Good guy, it turns out that he has exhausted his energy and fell into a deep sleep.

“…”

The two looked at each other and saw a look of embarrassment in each other's eyes.

Cough cough, the two of them coughed dryly.

Each of them lifted the master's side and carried him to the lounge inside the base.

"I said, don't let others know about this."

"……OK."
