Chapter 18: Chapter 18: Nocturn attack
Skyera or the village hidden in the sky, the village ninja of the sky country was a remarkable structure, beautiful and scary simultaneously.
Contrary to most structures of the time, the village ninja was nearly entirely made of metal. It was as big as any of the five great ninja villages and much more technologically advanced than any of them.
Right now the Skyera was freely flying in the sky of the land of fire a few kilometers away from Konoha hidden by an artificial mist that formed clouds around the village.
The structure was so hidden in the cloud that it was practically undetectable.
Hundreds of men and women could be seen flying in and out from above the clouds while most were flying using machines others didn't need those tools and were riding strange mist made of chacka.
"tink tink tink...crack"
"Here the headquarter, identify yourself,"
After reaching a certain distance each ninja received a signal ordering them to identify themself,
"Here Karasu Toka code HEST258 request permission to land...,"
"...."
The process was the same for everyone and the scene of the sky ninja providing their identifying repeat itself for everyone.
"Tap..."
After being given the authorization hundreds of ninjas landed on a vast open space with many others.
The ninjas who landed had to be quickly accounted for, discard their equipment, and sent to do their rapports, everything was organized and rushed at the same time due to the ongoing fight, a little group of sky ninjas taking advantage of the situation quietly slipped away from the rest.
After a while they stopped with slow movement reminiscent of those of puppets they slowly reached into their vest and retrieved something, some scowls, others pouches others simple kunai
"What are you doing!!"
"Seize them!!"
"Kill them..."
While it was happening the ninjas of Skyera realizing that a few ninjas were missing quickly jumped into action
They reached their target, but it was too late,
"Tap," from one of the scrolls that fell on the ground, and from there, a snake appeared in a cloud of smoke, from that small snake a slender man with a pale complexion and long dark hair emerged
the same thing happened for a little red toad where and white-haired young man emerged, while the Kunai that had been planted on the ground turned into ninjas of Konoha.
One of them was a tall and handsome man with short white hair and a Tanto in the back, another was a yellow-haired kid of about eight years old.
A total of ten ninjas of Konoha were capable of infiltrating the flying fortress
Samuko Hatake immediately took command of the situation
"Orochimaru, Jiraiya, Minato in the center" he shouted
"the others protect them," he said and the other ninjas immediately positioned themselves around the three protecting them from the approaching ninja of the sky.
"Karata why?!" One of the sky ninjas asked with eyes full of disbelief at his friend who had brought an enemy ninja into their base.
"I-I'm s-sorry," Karata said turning around to look at his friends and comrades, they understood when they saw his eyes before he was like the others decapitated by the white fangs
"The Sharingan!!" they exclaimed recognizing the red pattern in the eyes of their fellow ninjas
"Damn Uchiha, damn you white fang you will pay for this," the fight between the two sides commences.
In an instant, using their numbers to their advantage the ninjas of Skyera attacked their opponent from every side with waves of kunai, shurikens, paper bombs, and all types of jutsu.
In the center of the attack without any panic, Konoha ninjas performed a series of seals in unison
"Combine earth technic: Massive dome"
With their combined powers, the Konoha ninjas could erect a massive dome on the metal ground.
"Boom, boom... booom,"
Multiple enormous explosions swallowed the dome and even destroyed the metal construction in the surroundings while a massive cloud of dust covered everything
"Wind style: wind gust"
To not leave enough time to their enemies to their enemies to recover the sky ninjas quickly blew the smoke away.
"Attack once more," screamed one of the sky ninjas seeing that the sorry state of the dome
While they prepared their attack the ground started to tremble
"Boom"
The dome protecting the ninjas of Konoha crumbles revealing a big snake and massive toad towering over the sky ninjas while transporting Jiraya, Orochimaru.
"It's too late,"
"Boom"
After having been summoned the toad started to demolish everything around them
On the ground taking advantage of the chaos that was created Sakumo hunted down the sky ninjas before they could reorganize their forced
After a few seconds, he looked around to take a look at the situation
'All twenty-five down, good we managed to accomplish our mission,' he thought before extending his perception
"They are coming!" he said he could feel hundreds of ninjas rushing toward them at full speed
While all that was happening the young Minato was surrounded by ninjas protecting him as he was completely defenseless four kunai were planted on the ground in front of him forming a square
After a few seconds, the place in front of him was illuminated
"Twitch," a hight-pitch sound resounded, and when the light dissipated about a hundred Ambu ninjas appeared leading them to the third Hokage himself Hiruzen Sarutoby, and his advisors all ready for combat.
"Tap, ah, ah..."
Hiruzen looked at the yellow-haired kid who was breathing loudly with fondness,
"Thanks for your hard work young Minato, excellent like always," he said with his signature grandfatherly smile even though he was still young and had only a few white hairs that smile was already something comforting for all the villagers of Konoha
"Yes well done Minato," said Tsunade as she emerged from the side
"Ho-you are welcome lord third lady Tsunade, it was an honor to help," said Minato shyly
"We already told you, no need to be that formal," said Tsunade
From the top, the figure of Jiraya and Orochimaru fell on the ground simultaniously
"Invocation: Toad's stomach"
"Invocation: Snake's stomach"
From two massive dust clouds, two huge lumps of flesh appeared on the steel ground from which thousands of ninjas of Konoha walked out, civilian ninjas and clan ninjas together all of them were the elite of Konoha.
"T-this is the Hokage!" someone exclaimed in fear
"Sound the red alarm, we have been invaded!!" another shouted
A massive siren blared alerting everyone in the fortress of the urgency of the situation
Hiruzen looked at the ninjas surrounding them and outnumbered them by a large margin with a cold expression, his chakra exploded as he shouted
"Ninja of Konoha here are your enemies, the ones who invaded your home and killed your loved one, kill them so that they can't repeat their deed ever again, don't show any pity!"
"Haaaaaaa...."
Following their Hokage, the battle against the ninja of Konoha and the ninja of Skyera started.
****
Far away in the capital of the land of the sky a few hours after the fight had taken place, and here the night had fallen
Here something entirely different was taking place.
Palace of the Sky daimyo like its ninja village was a wonder, a perfect blend of tradition and modernity, protected by a very advanced technology installed in the wall and numerous ninjas and samurais.
Unfortunately today all of that was completely useless.
The technology was quickly and easily deactivated by the assailants, the ninjas and samurais despite their powers, expertise, and combativity, were all methodically eliminated.
Slowly and surely all of them fell one after the other.
In the principal room of the palace, the Daimyo of the country looked at the ninjas that had infiltrated his chamber
"Who are you? And what do you want?!" he asked looking at the ninjas in defying trying to control his fear even though it was easily discernable for a trained ninjas.
After a few seconds of silence a woman advanced toward him, taking of her mask she revealed her beautiful face and bright red hair allowing the old Daimyo to see her features.
Kana Uzumaki looked at the old man, surprise was written all over his face
"Y-You, an Uzumaki, I thought that, is that Konoha who sent you?!" he asked in a trembling voice
"Konoha, no, they didn't send, though this is what the world will think, Konoha and the other great nation, I'm sorry, but we decided to take over your country," she said taking out a kunai from her pouch
"W-wait you don't have to do that we can cooperate, I will work for you my family will work for you,"
"I'm sorry! We will take care of your daughters." Kana said and in a flash, the Daimyo of the sky country fell on the ground a pool of blood slowly formed itself around him
'What about my sons!' the old man thought in his last moment
"Well done Kana," an old voice said behind her
"Once again are you sure we can still take other measures, particularly now," said the old voice of Urio
"Thanks again but no it was our agreement, it is time for me to have another conversation with my future husband, the Daimyo of the Sky country,"
