Even Vacuum Consecutive Wave, which had the longest attack range, couldn't reach that height, making his expression even uglier.
Ling first took out a stack of specially made Exploding Tags. Each five of these Exploding Tags were glued onto a circular cardboard.
Ling calculated that throwing the circular cardboard down from that height would take about four to five seconds.
Then, after complex calculations of wind speed and air resistance, Ling directly fired three circular cardboards with Exploding Tags glued to them in one direction.
The circular cardboard flew in an arc towards a spot a few meters in front of Danzo and his men.
"Lord Danzo, Uchiha Ling has thrown something down! Get out of the way! It's Exploding Tags!"
The Root sensing Ninja was initially confused about what the circular cardboard was, then suddenly sensed the Chakra fluctuations of burning Exploding Tags, and immediately shouted a warning in horror.
But by then, the Exploding Tags had already landed in front of them. Their current inertia made it difficult to react, and it was too late to dodge.
"Boom!"
The power of fifteen Exploding Tags exploding was comparable to a B-rank Ninjutsu. Even Root Ninja could not survive a direct hit from a B-rank Fire Release Ninjutsu.
Immediately, three of the five Root Ninja leading the charge were blown to death on the spot, and two others had their legs blown off, rolling on the ground in agony.
"Damn Uchiha brat! You just wait for this old man! Widen the distance, don't stick together! Watch out for any falling objects from the sky!"
Danzo was in the center of the team and was not harmed, but at this moment, three Root Ninja were directly blown to death, and two other Root Ninja were as good as dead. Danzo wanted to kill Uchiha Ling but had no way, so he could only curse in frustration.
Because the Ninja in Root who could use Super Beast Imitating Drawing were not nearby, they could only become targets for bombing.
"Ah ha! Explosions are indeed art! Let me add some more ingredients for you!"
Uchiha Ling used the Ninjutsu she learned from Gennō, combined with Exploding Tags, to perform Earth Bullet after forming hand seals.
A brown Earth Bullet synthesis area appeared at the tail of Nue, continuously spitting out diamond-shaped Earth Release bullets, also with a certain initial velocity.
And Ling continuously used Yanyang Village's secret technique to integrate Exploding Tags into the center of the Earth Bullet, which could increase its power and also inflict damage from flying earth and stones.
This time, it would definitely cause huge damage to Danzo and his men, and perhaps even make them curse.
"Da da da! Bouncing Bombs! Klee will blow you all to hell, you bastards!"
Ling was as busy as a bee, adjusting the landing points of the special bombs while synthesizing Exploding Tags and Earth Bullet into bombs.
At this moment, Danzo and the others on the ground noticed the Earth Bullet falling, but since they didn't see any Exploding Tags, they didn't take it seriously. They just made sure not to be hit and continued to accelerate their escape.
However, Danzo felt something was wrong. Logically, that Uchiha Clan brat couldn't just use Earth Release to hit them.
Soon, when the Earth Bullet fell one or two meters above their heads, they realized something was wrong, because their sixth sense, honed by life-and-death training, was frantically telling them to dodge.
However, Earth Bullet were everywhere, and they couldn't even dodge if they wanted to. Only a small number of Root Ninja formed bunkers with Earth Release to protect themselves, and some used Earth Release: Hiding Like a Mole Technique.
Others who used Water Release, Wind Release, and Lightning Release could only attack those Earth Bullet, intending to destroy them.
"Boom!" The sound of earth-shattering explosions rose and fell, continuously.
Balls of fire exploded one after another, and the Root Ninja who couldn't use or didn't know Earth Release suffered at this time.
More than twenty unlucky Root Ninja were directly blown to death by the Earth Bullet, and more than thirty Ninja were severely injured by the shattered and flying earth chunks, with some blood holes appearing on their torsos, filled with broken stones.
More than thirty Ninja suffered minor injuries, usually abrasions to their limbs from earth and stones. Some unstable Earth Release bunkers collapsed, and some more died.
The more than one hundred Root Ninja who fled with Danzo were now directly reduced by half. When this wave of Earth Bullet bombs ended, Danzo looked at his scattered subordinates, some of whom were still wailing in pain.
"Damn Uchiha brat, if you dare to attack us again and hinder this old man's escape, then Hyuga Hizashi will surely die!"
Danzo had no choice but to shout loudly, using Hyuga Hizashi's life to ensure his and his men's safety.
"Damn inherently evil old Danzo! What kind of Konoha Ninja uses a hostage? Put down your weapons and surrender, you still have a chance to live. Honestly confess your crimes, and you can be dealt with leniently!"
Ling stopped the Earth Bullet bombs at this point. Firstly, Danzo was threatening with a hostage, and she didn't want to offend the Hyuga Clan.
Secondly, this wave of bombs alone consumed fifty thousand Exploding Tags, and that was all money! Ling felt a little pained.
Fortunately, fifty thousand Exploding Tags blew up nearly half of Danzo's men. Including those severely injured and incapacitated, she had wiped out seventy percent of Danzo's subordinates in one go, which could be considered a glorious military achievement.
Three kilometers away, a Hyuga Clan Ninja discovered the explosion and saw the heavy casualties among Danzo's Root.
"Hokage-sama, Danzo and his Root were blown up by Uchiha Ling, who was riding a strange bird in the sky and using Exploding Tags, killing a good portion of them."
Third Hokage was a little surprised. He didn't expect Ling's aerial bombardment to be so terrifying. Danzo's subordinates were all elites.
The weakest of them had the strength of an Elite Chunin, eighty percent were regular Jonin, and there were a few Elite Jonin, yet half of them were blown up by Ling in one bombardment.
If this were used in war, it would definitely give enemy Ninja Villages a hard time. After dealing with Danzo, he would ask his disciple if this method could become a regular tactic.
"Lord Third, Uchiha Ling has stopped. It must be Danzo threatening her with Hyuga Hizashi's life."
The Hyuga Clan Ninja saw Danzo holding a knife to Hyuga Hizashi's neck and saying something.
"Damn Danzo! Using the Village's Ninja as a hostage, he has truly lost the fire will!"
Third Hokage was extremely furious. Danzo had repeatedly used Hyuga Hizashi, who had lost the ability to resist, to threaten him and others, forcing them to let him go.
Now, Third Hokage's anger had reached its peak. Fortunately, among the team he brought this time, there were professionals specializing in hostage rescue.
"Accelerate forward. After catching up with Danzo, proceed with Plan A!"
Third Hokage and his group accelerated again, rushing towards Danzo's location, while three kilometers behind them were two hundred Konoha Jonin in pursuit.
Ling knew Third Hokage was about to arrive and was currently trying to stall for time, but Danzo was unyielding and only focused on escaping.
That damn Root Ninja's knife was still at Hyuga Hizashi's neck, and she didn't dare to make any move, otherwise Hyuga Neji would never have a chance to be born into this world.
