Chapter 208 The Magnificent Konoha Fleet
"What...what is that?"
A Cloud Village ninja on lookout duty suddenly cried out in alarm, pointing his finger towards the sea to his left.
Just as the leaders of the two villages had different thoughts, and the fleet was thrown into stagnation and chaos by this sudden attack.
Mutation and regeneration!
"Waaah—waaah—"
A deep, drawn-out horn sounded out of nowhere from the thick, impenetrable night fog to their left.
The sound pierced through the rain and the waves, carrying a sense of solemnity and majesty, clearly reaching everyone's ears.
"What was that sound?!"
"Left! On the left!"
Everyone turned sharply to look at the deathly still mist.
next moment.
Stab it!
Suddenly, a point of light appeared on the dark sea surface that had been shrouded in thick fog.
Then came the second, the third...
The points of light multiplied and grew brighter, piercing through the thick fog and rain curtain, like the eyes of countless giant beasts suddenly opening in the darkness.
Immediately afterwards, accompanied by a deep and rhythmic sound of waves breaking, the silhouettes of enormous ships slowly emerged from the thick fog.
Those are warships!
Completely black, as if forged from steel from the abyss, the ship's hull underwent a special coating treatment, reflecting a chilling luster under the moonlight.
They stood in neat formation, cutting through the waves, and silently approached the combined fleet of the Hidden Clouds and Hidden Mist.
At the top of the mast of each warship hung a conspicuous flag.
The flags fluttered in the wind and rain, making a majestic sound.
At the center of the flag is a crimson pattern resembling a swirling flame.
That is……
Konoha!
It's Konoha's fleet!
Shouldn't they be busy dealing with harassment on their own land in the Land of Fire?
How could they have assembled such a massive fleet so quickly and positioned it so precisely here?
The Third Raikage's voice abruptly stopped as he stared intently at the black forest of steel, his facial muscles contorted with rage.
cheated!
From beginning to end, they were all manipulated by that person!
The alliance between Kumogakure and Kirigakure, the brilliant plan to launch a surprise attack on Uzushiogakure—all became a huge joke in the face of the opponent's absolute information advantage and prior planning!
Their combined fleet was not the hunter, but the prey that had run headlong into the trap!
The Third Mizukage Mizuki's heart sank to the bottom.
His worst fears came true.
Not only did Hiruzen Sarutobi arrive, but he appeared before him in a way that Hiruzen could never have imagined—an aura of absolute dominance.
Take a look at Konoha's fleet.
Each warship maintained perfect spacing, sailing along a fixed course. The ninjas on the decks were silent, with only the banners roaring majestically in the wind.
It was an overwhelming force, like Mount Tai pressing down on you.
"How could that be!"
Elder Yuan Shi, standing beside Mizukage, stared at the approaching black fleet with astonishment on his aged face.
His meticulously planned schemes and his proud art of alliances and counter-alliances appeared utterly pale and powerless in the face of Konoha's absolute strength and unfathomable strategic layout.
At the forefront of Konoha's fleet was a main warship, far more magnificent than the others, almost like a small fortress.
"Hehe, the timing is just right..."
The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, stood proudly, clad in a divine robe embroidered with the Will of Fire totem and wearing a straw hat.
The clouds that had blocked half the moonlight in the night sky had quietly dispersed at some point.
The cool moonlight shone down, coating him with a layer of frosty silver light. In that deep darkness, he was like a god descended to earth.
Hiruzen Sarutobi's gaze pierced through the rain and night, landing precisely on the combined fleet of the Cloud Village and the Mist Village.
It was a kind of overlooking, a kind of insight, a kind of calm that completely trapped the prey in the net.
He didn't speak, nor did he make any extra movements.
He simply raised his left hand slowly and, under the watchful eyes of the two village ninjas, made a gentle downward pressing motion.
In an instant, the sound of waves breaking came to an abrupt halt.
The nine Konoha warships that had broken through the waves came to a sudden stop.
Without the slightest unnecessary shaking or noise, the distance between the nine warships remained perfectly measured, as if it had been with a ruler.
From extreme motion to extreme stillness, it all happens in a single gesture by Hiruzen Sarutobi.
An invisible yet heavy and suffocating sense of oppression instantly enveloped the entire sea area with the sudden silence.
"This...this."
Elder Genshi, standing beside the Third Mizukage Mizuki, looked at this illogical scene before him, and for the first time, pure panic appeared on his usually arrogant and cunning old face.
This is neither ninjutsu nor illusion.
This is discipline! It's iron discipline ingrained in our very bones!
The Third Mizukage, Mizuki, frowned deeply; his worst fears had come true.
Not only did Hiruzen Sarutobi arrive, but he also brought with him a... a monstrous army.
His gaze involuntarily swept over the Konoha fleet.
Nine warships, like nine mountains standing on the sea.
Located at the very center was naturally the flagship where Hiruzen Sarutobi was stationed.
To its left, a massive, snow-white warship with a cross symbol hanging from its mast is equally eye-catching.
At the bow of the ship, a blonde woman stood with her arms crossed, coldly watching them.
Tsunade!
The granddaughter of the First Hokage, one of Konoha's top medical ninjas, and one of Hiruzen Sarutobi's most trusted disciples.
On the deck behind her stood many medical ninjas, their expressions solemn, carrying huge medical scrolls on their backs, each exuding a calm and professional aura.
This is no ordinary combat unit!
Seeing this, the Third Mizukage, Mizuki's heart sank even further.
Konoha not only prepared for battle, but also considered post-battle medical care in such detail.
They came with the determination to fight a total war and win with minimal casualties!
