'Whoosh.'

Deidara manipulated the clay bird under his feet and rolled it in the air like an aerobatic flight, easily avoiding the attack of the wind blade that fell from the sky.

However, Jugo and Suigetsu were caught off guard, and their bodies shook violently. Fortunately, both of them reacted in time and grabbed the bird's back, otherwise they would fall into the sea.

"Deidara, what are you doing?!"

Suigetsu raised his head and shouted angrily at Deidara, but as soon as he finished speaking, he saw a few birdmen with wings appearing from the clouds and flying towards them.

"What the?"

Jugo also opened his eyes wide, and when the other party got close, he realized that they are not birdmen, but ninjas. The wings of these people are actually a mechanized flying device, powered by chakra.

They are from the Land of Sky.

From the forehead guard symbol on the heads of these people, the three people in the third team recognized their origin at a glance, which was the goal of their trip.

"Stop!"

Among those people, a man who looked like a captain shouted to the three of them, "You have already broken into the jurisdiction of the Land of Sky. If you don't want to die, surrender immediately!"

However, what he didn't expect was that after he released these ruthless remarks, not only did he not see the expressions of panic and panic on the faces of the three, but he saw them all showing joy on their faces.

'Phew.'

Hozuki Suigetsu acted immediately, he raised his hand and shaped it like a pistol and used the secret technique of the Hozuki clan, Iron water, which fires high-speed liquid bullets from his fingertips.

"Ahhh!"

The opposing ninjas suddenly screamed, and blood fell from the sky.

"Idiot, don't kill them all, keep alive!"

Deidara shouted at Suigetsu, and hurriedly drove the clay bird and rushed over, catching the seriously injured and dying captain of the Land of Sky squad.

After half an hour.

Using the information pried from the prisoners' mouths, the third team successfully found the base camp of Land of Sky.

"Ahead is the air carrier fleet of the Land of Sky."

Deidara leaned on the bird's back, stuck his head out, and looked at several large ship parked on the coast in the distance. The decks of those ships were wide open, with many people on them, taking off and landing like birds incessantly.

"However, why didn't we see the flying fortress of the Land of Sky?" Jugo frowned and asked in confusion.

"Wooo."

Suigetsu, didn't answer his questions, because his expression suddenly became ugly and he couldn't help vomiting.

It seems that he is not only afraid of heights, but also airsick.

"Don't worry about it so much, let's kill all these guys first."

Deidara looked excited, then the Clay bird swooped towards the fleet of Land of Sky.

He had also heard about the deeds of the Land of Sky before. These guys conducted air raids on Konoha during the Second Ninja War. They were a group of ninjas who could fly in the sky and rain bombs.

Ordinary people are likely to be helpless in the face of this group of flying guys, but Deidara is different, his combat methods are almost exactly the same as ninjas of Land of Sky.

"The air battle begins!"

Deidara shouted, his hands quickly formed a seal, the two mouths in the palms chewed, and soon spit out a large amount of explosive clay, and he rubbed out a small doll.

'Swish.'

Like a bomber dropping a bomb, the detonating doll left Deidara's hands and expanded rapidly during the free fall.

"What it is?"

"Enemy attack!"

The Ninjas on the deck raised their heads one after another and watched in horror as the ten-meter-tall Deidara doll descended from the sky, and finally smashed into the deck of one of the air carriers.

'Boom!'

The deafening sound of the explosion, the firelight and thick smoke rising into the sky, accompanied by the screams of the air ninjas, came one after another as the air carrier broke into two pieces on the spot and slowly sank into the water.

As soon as he made a move, he inflicted heavy damage on the enemy.

"Kill them!"

The rest of the ninjas reacted and immediately took off from the deck. Suddenly, dozens of people rose into the sky to surround the third team.

"Let me."

Jugo said as he got up from the bird's back, and jumped down.

'Boom!'

When he landed on the deck, he had completely changed into a different appearance: the usual honesty and gentleness were gone, replaced by a monster-like ferocious appearance, and a face full of excitement and madness.

He turned on the Curse mark mode, and while gaining powerful strength, he also temporarily lost his mind.

"Hahaha, go to hell!"

Jugo laughed wildly, and soon fell into a rampant state, like a humanoid tyrannosaurus rampaging on the deck, he kept smashing and destroying everything.

Wherever he goes, no one can stop him.

Deidara, on the other hand, shuttled in mid-air and fought a fierce aerial battle with a group of ninjas.

"Arrrrr!"

During this process, Hozuki Suigetsu let out a scream as he accidentally fell off the bird's back, sank into the sea with a plop.

"Useless guy."

Deidara sighed, but he was too lazy to save his teammate, because he knew that Suigetsu would be fine. After all, that guy is from the Hozuki Castle, and his whole body was made of water.

Under the joint operation of Deidara and Jugo, the three air carriers of the Land of Sky parked on the coast were sunk one by one in less than ten minutes, and none of them were spared.

And those ninjas who were not dead escaped, and they are not their opponents at all.

After the battle is over.

"What about that Suigetsu, where did he hide? He didn't really drown, right?"

Deidara and Jugo landed on the shore, but they didn't see Suigetsu.

"Is he kidnapped by the enemy?"

With this idea in mind, the two entered the vast inland forest, and while looking for their missing teammate, they continued to search for the fortress of Land of Sky.

"Found it!"

Half an hour later, Deidara, who took a clay bird to fly near a valley, made a cry of surprise.

From a distance, he can see a huge steel fortress parked in the valley, like an island.

That is the flying fortress of Land of Sky.

"Watch me blow it up!"

Deidara jumped up with excitement. He has to make a big one to blow up this steel fortress, the scene would definitely be spectacular.

His art is made for explosions.

"Don't be impulsive, Deidara! Have you forgotten that our mission is to bring this fortress back to Kirigakure as intact as possible?"

Fortunately, Jugo reminded him in time, Deidara calmed down and remembered the mission.

So, after discussion, they decided to give up frontal combat and instead sneak in to assassinate, trying to kill all the individuals inside as far as possible without destroying the fortress.

Surprisingly.

When Deidara and Jugo arrived near the fortress, they discovered that the ground here was filled with the corpses of their enemies, and the fatal injuries on these people were caused by bullets penetrating the heart or brain.

'Suigetsu.'

The two looked at each other and immediately realized that Hozuki Suigetsu had already sneaked into the fortress of Land of Sky ahead of them.

At this moment.

"You two, why are you so slow, I've finished everything here."

A familiar figure appeared from the entrance of the fortress, and it is indeed Hozuki Suigetsu. He was covered in blood, but from the smug look on his face, it was obvious that the blood belonged to the enemy.

The hydration technique of the Hozuki Clan is especially suitable for infiltration and assassination. It seems that Suigetsu found this fortress alone and killed all the enemies without a sound.

"I didn't expect you to be quite useful." Deidara snorted softly, reluctantly agreeing that Suigetsu was qualified to be his teammate.

"I feel that the three of us are pretty good." Jugo was much more honest and told the truth.

"Don't talk nonsense, let's quickly get this fortress back, we have to fight for the first place."

After saying they walked towards the fortress control room.

The fortress of Land of Sky, has a living persons as it's power source.

In the prison deep in the fortress, there are thousands of "prisoners", all villagers or ninjas that they had captured from nearby villages.

These people are used as human flesh batteries, and their bodies are full of tubes, and their chakra and physical strength are drawn from their bodies to provide the fortress's flight power.

"You are free!"

With a wave of his hand, Deidara rescued and released the villagers, and then replaced with their Chakra to drive the fortress to slowly rise and fly towards the Land of Water.

.....

At the same time.

Land of Artisans.

Looking down from the air, the dense forest that once existed became bare, and the trees were all cut off by some force and fell to the ground.

What caused this phenomenon was a girl with a huge fan and green wings on her back. She was the leader of the second team, Temari.

After arriving at the Land of Artisans, after some investigation, Temari found that the villagers here have been missing frequently recently, and they were all taken away by the Four Celestial Symbol Men to offer sacrifices in an attempt to resurrect their founder Seimei.

The second team followed them, and soon found their lair, and a big battle broke out.

In this fierce battle, Kankuro's task is to rescue and protect the captured villagers and bring them to safety.

Temari, on the other hand, faced the Four Celestial Symbol Men by herself.

She encountered some troubles, but after borrowing the Chakra of Seven tails, she finally defeated the enemy.

On the other side, on the ground not far away, a large amount of yellow sand flowed slowly, turning the originally green earth into a desert.

Above the desert, Gaara folded his arms in his arms, floated in mid-air supported by the sand, and looked down quietly.

At his feet was a pyramid formed from the desert, with some blood oozing from the surface. That's because, inside the pyramid is the founder of the Land of Artisans, Seimei who was just killed by him.

As soon as Seimei was resurrected, he made a bold oath to fight against the five major ninja villages and to be above the entire ninja world.

As a result, as soon as he walked out of the coffin, he was pressed back by Gaara.

Seimei and his subordinates' dream of ruling the ninja world was ruthlessly crushed by the three Genin of Kirigakure.

After arranging the rescued villagers, the three of them counted the harvest of the mission.

Fire sword, Garian sword, Infinite Armour, Weaknessless Soaring Short swords.

These are the weapons used by the Four Celestial Symbol Men. Compared with ordinary ninja tools, they are quite extraordinary.

"We should be the first to complete the mission."

After Temari packed up her spoils, she smiled and said confidently.

"Of course, the Sand siblings are invincible, right, Gaara?" Kankuro also echoed, and touched his brother beside him with his elbow.

"Let's go back."

Gaara was taciturn as always, and used the sand to lift the three of them up and flew back to Kirigakure.

In the Land of fire, near Konoha.

'Whoosh.'

In a remote forest, Uchiha Itachi was pale and looked very weak as he clutched his bleeding broken arm and fled desperately.

He lost again in the duel with Kimimaro.

Although Itachi opened his Mangekyo Sharingan, and killed his father ruthlessly thereby becoming Konoha's S-class traitor, but his opponent was even stronger.

Kimimaro was covered with black curse marks, and he flew in mid-air with a pair of black wings, looking down at Uchiha Itachi, who fled in embarrassment on the ground, with a cold face.

He is a natural warrior, once in combat, he will not be disturbed by any outside world until the enemy is killed.

Suddenly, Kimimaro stretched out his hands and fired ten fingers.

Ten finger bullets!

This jutsu of Shikotsumyaku, after he entered the cursed state, had it's speed and power greatly improved, and it striked Uchiha Itachi's back like lightning.

Itachi felt the crisis and did his best to dodge, but he still couldn't dodge all the finger bullets. In the end, his calf was pierced, and blood gurgled out.

'There is no other solution anymore.'

He originally planned to lead the three of them to Madara Uchiha's hiding place, and let the latter appear to deal with these enemies, but now he has lost the ability to move.

He can only stay where he is and fight to the death.

Thinking of this, Itachi no longer hesitated, and two lines of tears of blood flowed from his eyes, releasing all his power.

A red Susanoo appeared, it had two weapons in his hands, a red shield and a golden flame-like long sword.

They are Itachi's last trump card and his hope for a comeback.

"Is that the Totsuka Blade and the Yata Mirror? They finally appeared."

Kimimaro looked at the fully armed Susanoo and muttered to himself, as landed on the ground.

Itachi would never have thought that in the information that Kisame gave to Kimimaro and the others, there were detailed records of these two spiritual tools.

Yata Mirror can resist all physical and ninjutsu attacks, and the Totsuka Blade is the third Kusanagi sword, which can seal the enemy in a permanent illusion world.

Again, in the battle between ninjas, intelligence is the most important thing.

If Kimimaro didn't know the abilities of Yata Mirror and Totsuka Blade in advance, he may really roll over and be killed by Uchiha Itachi. After all, these two spiritual weapons are as strong as cheats.

But now, Kimimaro is not afraid of the opponent at all.

'Whoosh.'

He rushed towards Itachi again, but instead of directly attacking Susanoo, he slammed a hand into the ground and shouted, "Dance of the Seedling fern!"

As soon as the voice fell, countless bones rose from the ground, instantly forming a forest, drowning the tall Susanoo.

'Not good.'

Itachi didn't expect that the Kimimaro's attack would come from the ground, so he could only barely control Susanoo to use the Yata mirror to block the bones emerging from the ground.

But this move of Kimimaro, is not to kill Uchiha Itachi, just to use the Bone Forest to trap Susanoo.

"Roar!"

With a roar, a huge orange fox appeared opposite Susanoo, wagging its nine tails, and opened its mouth.

At this moment, Kimimaro entered the state of tail beast transformation, transformed into nine tails, and launched the tail beast bomb for the first time.

'Wooooo.'

The pitch-black ball flew out like a cannonball, hitting Susanoo directly.

Itachi is well aware of the power of the tailed beast bomb and does not dare to neglect it.

'Boooom!'

Under the impact of the Tail Beast bomb, Susanoo swayed far away, but Susanoo is indeed a Susanoo, it is able resist the tail beast bomb.

'Whoosh.'

Taking advantage of Susanoo's instability, Nine Tails circled around, appeared behind him and rushed again, fighting meleely.

'Now!'

Itachi's eyes narrowed, as he was waiting for this opportunity, he picked up the Totsuka Blade with his backhand, and stabbed towards the huge body of the nine tails.

Once he stabs the opponent, he can seal the nine tails together with Kimimaro and end this fight.

'Swii.'
