Taking control of the Sky Ninja Fortress, Ancor Vantian's control room.
After Yamanaka Kei left a Flying Thunder God Mark, Namikaze Minato, who had been waiting for a long time outside the rainforest, immediately used the Group Flying Thunder God Transportation Technique.
He directly brought nearly a hundred Anbu directly under the Hokage, more than seventy well-trained Root Combat Team ninjas, as well as the Analysis Team NO.2 squad, the Interrogation Department NO.1 squad, and more than a dozen Logistics Research Team members, plus Jiraiya, who came to join in the fun.
It only took half an hour.
All living creatures in the entire fortress were taken down by Konoha ninjas.
With the joint efforts of the Interrogation Department and the Analysis Team, in less than an hour, the Logistics Department's Research Team members, having obtained enough information, controlled the Sky Ninja Fortress, Ancor Vantian, and flew it towards the Land of Fire.
And those living Sky Ninja ninjas all became the Chakra supply source for this fortress.
Based on the information provided by the Interrogation Department and the Analysis Team, Namikaze Minato immediately led people towards the location of the Sky Ninja's hidden fleet at sea.
To launch an attack on the Mist Village located in the Water Country, one cannot do without large ships capable of sailing at sea.
Although Yamanaka Kei could create wooden ships of enormous scale in an instant with his Wood Release, how could wooden ships compare to Steel Battleships and Ancor Vantian that could fly in the air!
Using the Flying Thunder God Technique, he went to Experiment Base Number Seven and brought the Snake Princess, who was immersed in research.
After inspecting the core components, Orochimaru's slender fingers stroked the console with satisfaction, carefully sensing every structure.
"Not bad construction ideas, but the way Chakra is used is too rough, with a Chakra utilization rate of less than 50%."
Nowadays, Orochimaru's facial lines are significantly softer than in the past.
With an impressive figure almost no less than Tsunade's, every move exudes an unspeakable charm.
Jiraiya, who had nothing to do in Konoha and came to join in the fun with Namikaze Minato, almost had his eyes pop out when he saw Orochimaru.
If it weren't for the familiar face,
he would have thought this was some dark-style elder sister who popped up from nowhere!
This, this, this...
"Can it be improved?"
Yamanaka Kei looked at the Snake Princess, who possessed the core technology.
"In Three Days, the Chakra utilization rate can be increased to about 70%. Any higher than that would require some more precise modifications, and there wouldn't be enough time."
Orochimaru nodded slightly, seeing Jiraiya's eyes constantly glancing at her.
She turned her head and stared at Jiraiya with those cold snake eyes, while making a gesture of chopping down with a knife.
Jiraiya felt a gust of cold wind fly past his crotch.
He shivered and quickly looked away, surveying the Sky Ninja Fortress.
"Alright, I'll leave it to you."
"Kei-kun, may I ask, how did you do it earlier? I didn't sense any Chakra fluctuations, just like... Danzo that time."
"Cough cough... it's not Chakra, it's another more advanced form of energy."
Seeing Orochimaru's enthusiasm for research, Yamanaka Kei could only make up a reason.
Spiritual Power gathered at his fingertip, transforming into a crystalline white light.
"Not a high-level energy like Chakra? Let me try?"
Jiraiya curiously approached Yamanaka Kei.
He wanted to get involved in their conversation, taking the opportunity to find out why Orochimaru had become like this.
Yamanaka Kei glanced at Orochimaru, who had no intention of stopping him.
After retracting ninety percent of the Spiritual Power from his fingertip, he flicked the remaining ten percent into Jiraiya's body.
Without the rapid reshaping of body cells as Tsunade had done with Ryūchi Cave's secret technique, the Spiritual Power, maintaining its initial state, was extremely gentle. It didn't harm Jiraiya's body, but quietly flowed along his Chakra meridians.
At the normal dissipation rate of Spiritual Power, this wisp would probably disappear completely in about half a month.
And under the nourishment of the Spiritual Power.
Jiraiya would probably just feel more refreshed during this time.
If he wanted other gains, it would depend on what Jiraiya could do with this wisp of Spiritual Power's energy!
Orochimaru, ignoring Jiraiya's bewildered expression, grabbed his wrist.
He closed his eyes and used his own Chakra to carefully examine Jiraiya's changes, capturing the Spiritual Power within his body.
Pure, condensed, natural, full of vitality, and also hiding terrifying destructive power...
After a long while.
When Orochimaru opened his eyes, Yamanaka Kei and Tsunade were long gone, and Jiraiya...
"Wipe your nosebleed, and cooperate with me in some experiments during this time."
A hoarse, magnetic voice sounded, and Orochimaru released Jiraiya's wrist with some disgust.
"Experiments? As long as you don't dissect me, uh... Orochimaru... do you remember what I said back then?"
Jiraiya hurriedly wiped his nosebleed.
"What did you say?"
"If I become a woman, I'll definitely let..."
"Go die!"
Orochimaru used Hidden Shadow Snake Hands, flinging his hand to strike Jiraiya beside him!
...
In just six days.
A total of more than 70,000 ninjas from Konoha, Cloud Village, Hidden Sand, and Iwagakure had gathered on the east coast of the Land of Fire.
It is said that when the number of people exceeds ten thousand, it is boundless and without end.
The vast momentum of more than 70,000 ninjas gathered here was something that even Yamanaka Kei felt a little excited about when he first saw it.
However, with so many ninjas gathered here.
Even with the encampments spaced apart, some discordant noises were inevitable.
If not for the strict discipline imposed by the Kage and the severe punishment of a few troublemakers,
Yamanaka Kei might not have even arrived before
the tens of thousands present started fighting amongst themselves.
Yamanaka Kei wasn't a speech master like Gaara, who had been taught the Talk no Jutsu by Naruto.
He didn't have the ability to unite hearts and minds, or to eliminate hatred and animosity through Talk no Jutsu.
All he could do was release the two thousand-meter-tall True Several Thousand Hands - Top Transformed Buddha, and the four enhanced Wood Golems, each several hundred meters tall, from the Boundless Realm.
Faced with real and irresistible power, anyone who wasn't an idiot knew what choice to make.
After temporarily suppressing all the discordant noises,
the Third Raikage A, stationed in the camp, holding the Six Paths Treasure Amber Purifying Pot in one hand and Yugito Nii in the other, suddenly exerted force and leaped onto the Aerial Fortress, which was descending in altitude.
Onoki and Kitsuchi, flying with the Light-Weight Rock Technique, and Pakura and One-Tail Jinchuriki Bunbuku, stepping on sand, also arrived one after another.
In just a few days, the ugly human faces on the exterior of the original Sky Ninja Fortress, Ancor Vantian, had been completely flattened and engraved with the words "Expedition."
The tree roots and vines that had been buried underground for a long time and grown on the buildings had also been cleared away.
It looked quite like a war fortress.
Two days ago, Tsunade had originally wanted to rename this Aerial Fortress "Five Spirits Light," after the Five Spirits of earth, fire, water, wind, and lightning.
Yamanaka Kei had vetoed the name without even thinking about it.
Subsequently, Tsunade, not giving up, wanted to rename it "Cloud Piercing Ship," but Nara Shikaku told her that Cloud Village would definitely have objections.
Yamanaka Kei, hearing this, also breathed a sigh of relief.
An arrow that pierces the clouds brings forth thousands of troops to meet each other, it sounded very impressive.
But he really didn't want to think of Stephen Chow's little firecracker whenever this Aerial Fortress was mentioned!
Tsunade pondered for a long time.
Only then did she reluctantly name this Aerial Fortress "Expedition Ship."
Nara Shikaku, Yamanaka Inoichi, Cloud Village's Dotai, Iwagakure's Bunya, and Hidden Sand's Karura, leading a large number of sensory ninjas and communication ninjas, successively boarded the Aerial Fortress Expedition Ship.
The group formed a staff team, leading the newly formed Sensory Team and Communication Team.
They began announcing the planned lists of the various 'Shinobi Allied Forces'.
The surprise attack force led by Namikaze Minato and the Third Raikage's son, Little A, after gathering nearly five thousand people, first took the Steel Battleship plundered from the Sky Ninjas and headed towards the Water Country.
Jiraiya, Killer Bee, and Han led the nearly ten thousand-strong Second Division, taking large ships to outflank from the north; Orochimaru, Roshi, and Troy led the Third Division, outflanking from the south.
Sarutobi Hiruzen, Kitsuchi, Might Dai, and others led the remaining forty-five thousand people, taking Cloud Village's Turtle Island and many scattered ships, launching an attack on Mist Village from the front!
The Aerial Fortress Expedition Ship served as the command headquarters, advancing towards Mist Village from the air!
The Expedition Ship, which gathered the top combat power of the various ninja villages.
The Staff Team, along with the Perception Team and Communication Team, collaborated to continuously adjust and direct the advance speed of each squad.
After Yamanaka Kei stored the True Several Thousand Hands Buddha statues and the four enhanced Wood Golems, he also flew back to the Expedition Ship.
Yugito Nii, who followed the Third Raikage onto the Aerial Fortress, saw Yamanaka Kei and blinked her bright eyes, feeling extremely happy.
The uncle's actions were much faster than she had expected!
"The Chakra of One-Tail, Two-Tails, Four-Tails, Five-Tails, Seven-Tails, and Eight-Tails are all here. Oh right, Takigakure Village wasn't very cooperative, so the Seven-Tails is a whole one."
The Third Raikage A placed the Amber Purifying Pot, a Six Paths Treasure resembling a large pottery jar, in his hand.
"Thanks for the hard work."
Yamanaka Kei nodded, sighing inwardly. Cloud Village was as overbearing as ever.
Takigakure Village was unwilling to cooperate, so they just forcibly snatched the entire Seven-Tails!
However, the pot calling the kettle black.
Wasn't their Aerial Fortress and naval fleet also snatched?
"Where are the First Hokage and Senior Madara?"
Pakura looked at Yamanaka Kei and Tsunade.
The Three-Tails and Nine-Tails were in Konoha's hands. Now that they were resurrecting the Ten-Tails, they were only short of Mist Village's Six-Tails Chakra.
At this time, not seeing those great experts made her feel somewhat uneasy.
Tsunade also turned to look at Yamanaka Kei.
She had been extremely busy these past few days and hadn't seen Grandpa, Second Grandpa, or the others.
"Did I hear someone calling me and Madara?"
Hashirama Senju's voice came from the window of the left tower of the Aerial Fortress.
The next moment, the window opened, and Hashirama Senju, wearing a beige casual long shirt, poked half of his body out of the window.
Beside him, Madara Uchiha and Uchiha Izuna, wearing black long shirts, and Tobirama Senju, with a cold expression, also turned their heads at the same time.
"Clothes, face... not Reanimation Jutsu?!"
Tsunade's pupils shrank, and she looked at Yamanaka Kei in disbelief.
The Third Raikage A, Pakura, Onoki, and others on the side also fell into a collective daze!
"Elder Sister! I'm back!"
A slightly familiar young voice came from beside Hashirama Senju.
Nawaki, who was supporting himself on the windowsill and jumping up, gave Tsunade, who was stunned, a bright smile.
