Chapter 272 - Chapter 272 A Deadly Sniper Attack from Hyuga Hinata

"Ding, ding, ding, ding—!!!"

The high-speed senbon projectiles, upon hitting the Revolving Heaven barrier, were like striking an absolute defensive wall. They were instantly deflected and sent flying, sparks flying and energy glowing, but they failed to breach the Revolving Heaven's defense in the slightest.

The two Sky Ninja soldiers gliding at low altitude were clearly unprepared for such a powerful defense. They froze for a moment, then raised their senbon guns, ready to continue their attack.

But the moment they raised their guns, Ino inside the house had already completed her hand signs, her sharp gaze locking onto one of them!

"Mind Body Switch Technique!"

Whoosh—Ino's spiritual body instantly detached, directly rushing into the Sky Ninja's body!

"Huh?!"

The possessed Sky Ninja's body suddenly stiffened, and his shooting motion halted.

His Sky Ninja companion nearby noticed something was wrong: "Hey! What's wrong with you?!"

However, "he" (Ino) suddenly turned the gun and unhesitatingly pulled the trigger on his companion!

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—"

Senbon projectiles shot out like a torrential storm, accurately hitting the connection points of his companion's flight suit and weapon. "Ah!" The Sky Ninja screamed, his flight suit smoking and malfunctioning, his weapon flying out of his hand, and he fell to the ground in a sorry state.

"Are you crazy?!" he roared at his possessed companion.

"My apologies~" Ino's spiritual body detached and returned to her original body.

The possessed Sky Ninja shook his head, still not understanding what had happened, when Hinata, leaping from the rooftop, struck him with a precise Gentle Fist Art pressure point attack, instantly paralyzing him and sending him plummeting from mid-air.

In the blink of an eye, two Sky Ninja were captured.

"Well done, Ino!" Hinata breathed a sigh of relief.

However, more Sky Ninja noticed the resistance here, and an airship even lowered its altitude, its hatch opening as more Sky Ninja soldiers prepared to raid, and Chakra cannons began charging, aiming at the house!

"Hmph, I would have been happy to see Naruto brat's house blown up, but you disturbing my rest will not end well for you."

The Nine-Tailed, sprawled in a cat bed (whose owner was unknown), raised his head and sneered. He then opened his mouth and spat out a mini Tailed Beast Ball, which directly turned the airship outside the window into a huge ball of fire, burning fiercely in the sky above Konoha Village, its parts exploding and scattering.

"We need support here, we need support!"

After dealing with one airship, more and more Sky Ninja, who had been launching surprise attacks and flying through various parts of Konoha Village, began to gather at Naruto's residence.

"It's endless!" Karin walked out of the house with a frown. She pushed up her glasses and began to quickly form hand signs. "Lady Tsunade's teachings, perfect for a test run!"

"Heavenly Foot of Pain!"

With a "boom," she leaped up, kicking and exploding a flying glider mid-air, then stomped on a Sky Ninja, fiercely crushing him into the ground, creating a crater with spiderweb cracks.

Immediately after, Karin's eyes sharpened, locking onto the several Sky Ninja who were still dazed and hadn't gotten up. She formed hand signs again.

"Chakra Scalpel: Mass Nerve Blockade!"

Highly condensed Chakra blades materialized at her fingertips, swiftly slicing through the air. Invisible yet precise Chakra threads instantly pierced through the bodies of the nearby Sky Ninja, not causing external wounds, but accurately severing the nerve bundles that controlled their limb movements!

The Sky Ninja immediately felt their limbs go numb, completely losing sensation, and they crashed to the ground with their gliders as if paralyzed.

"Karin has become so powerful."

Hinata saw Karin take down five or six Sky Ninja in an instant, and a hint of surprise and admiration flashed in her beautiful eyes.

It should be known that Karin became Tsunade's disciple and studied under Lady Tsunade.

However, as the Fifth Hokage, Tsunade had a heavy workload and was incredibly busy, so she actually didn't have much time to teach Karin.

It could only be said that Karin had undergone arduous training that others hadn't seen.

"Oh, oh, Karin is also fighting fiercely. I can't fall behind."

"Then let's try this move."

"Mind Body Clone Technique!!"

Ino Yamanaka not only used an advanced version of the Mind Body Switch Technique, which allowed her spiritual energy to curve, but she could also control multiple people simultaneously.

In the original work, Ino Yamanaka, who used the Mind Body Clone Technique, could control two people, but after Naruto's devilish training, Ino Yamanaka can now control six people at once.

The scene of attacking one's own people played out again, and the Sky Ninja squad that had been attacking Naruto's residence instantly fell into disarray.

"Retreat! Retreat!"

The Sky Ninja who had raided Konoha Village began to evacuate quickly.

"You attacked Konoha Village and still think you can leave?"

Seeing a large number of Sky Ninja calmly departing after destroying Konoha Village, the peace-loving Hyuga Hinata's pretty face turned cold. She no longer hid her abilities, raising her arm and aiming her finger at the Sky Ninja gliding in the distance. Wind visibly surged at her fingertip, and Chakra condensed, but no Ninjutsu was visible.

"This is the first true combat test for this Ninjutsu."

"Calm down—just like Naruto taught me: 'Good, condense, rotate, compress, release!'"

The focused Hyuga Hinata's Byakugan widened slightly, her lips parted, and she softly made a "bang" sound. Her finger shot a compressed, transparent Rasengan towards a Sky Ninja.

This Rasengan was a normal Rasengan compressed to the size of a marble. Besides its inherent Chakra shape transformation, it also included two Chakra nature transformations: Lightning and Wind. The difficulty of learning it was definitely considered an S-rank Ninjutsu.

For three years, besides refining her Gentle Fist Art, Hyuga Hinata had been training in the "Vanishing Rasengan."

"Bang—a flying glider at the back of the Sky Ninja squad was immediately shot down."

"What's going on? What happened just now?"

"Why did number 856 crash?"

"Is his aircraft broken, or did someone ambush us?"

"Continue to ascend. These Ninja can't fly, so they can't do anything to us."

The crash of one Sky Ninja did not cause much of a stir.

Above Konoha Village, the Sky Ninja airship fleet began to gain altitude, forming a withdrawal formation.

Although they failed to completely destroy Konoha, this raid undoubtedly caused massive destruction and panic, enough for the Sky Ninja to boast about back home.

Inside the leading large airship, several Sky Ninja commanders looked down at the ravaged village through the portholes, their faces bearing arrogant and triumphant smiles.

"Hmph, Konoha, the head of the Five Great Ninja Villages, is nothing special!" a scarred Sky Ninja commander chuckled. "In front of our aerial power, their ground Ninja are like headless flies!"

"Exactly! If it weren't for their quick reaction, we could have razed Konoha to the ground today!" another commander echoed, patting the cabin wall proudly. "This new generation of airships and Chakra guns truly have unbeatable performance! What do Konoha's old relics have to fight us with?"
