'What if a… troubled Uchiha, consumed by darkness, pulled out a kunai and declared he'd kill everyone, to make the Advisor's kindness his alone?'
Uchiha Fugaku was captivated by this treasure-filled power room.
He didn't notice Gojo Kaigetsu's look for a moment, and he reached out to touch the walls, saying with great emotion:
"A war fortress. If there is no darkness in people's hearts as a driving force, it cannot function. That is to say, the more chaotic the situation, the greater the use it can play—The more peaceful and stable the situation, it can only be buried underground as scrap metal."
"The chakra accumulated in the power room now should be enough for this flying fortress to fly to the skies above Konoha."
"Gojo-sama, Do you want to fly it?"
It could be heard that Uchiha Fugaku's voice was a little excited. Flying into the sky seemed to be an indelible instinct engraved in the blood of mankind.
Even someone as strong as Uchiha Fugaku could not resist the pleasure of going to the sky.
"Let's fly it~"
He deeply understood the principle of cutting the weeds and removing the roots. He had already dispatched Shinobi to deal with the Shūei Corporation in the Land of Hot Water.
After painstakingly operating an old brand name company for decades—accumulating hundreds of millions of ryō in cash—in the end, it all became a string of cold numbers on the Hokage Tower's accounts.
Sometimes Gojo Kaigetsu also felt that he was a very bad person.
Whoosh, take off——!
Gojo Kaigetsu's command was passed down layer by layer, recalling the Konoha Shinobi who were guarding the entrance to the surface fortress, all returning to the inside of the fortress.
——
Arriving at the flight deck of the sky fortress, he summoned a Yamanaka clan ninja and put the special driving helmet on his head.
The technology of the Shinobi world was so simple and unadorned.
There were no complicated buttons at all. It all relied on a helmet to connect the operator's chakra with the power unit of the entire fortress, flying wherever he pointed.
Everything was ready. Gojo Kaigetsu slammed down on Ancor Vantian's start switch.
With a huge rumble, many strange-shaped buildings suddenly emerged from the ground. They slowly rose into the air, and in the air, they assembled and combined with the main body of the fortress where Gojo Kaigetsu was, slowly assembling into a city in the sky!
Rumble!
Rumble!
The noise in the power room grew louder and louder, passing through layers of decks, clearly and unmistakably transmitted to every Konoha Shinobi's ears.
The ground they stood on began to tremble slightly. Except for a few ninjas like Gojo Kaigetsu and Uchiha Fugaku—most of the Konoha Shinobi showed varying degrees of panic.
As Konoha Shinobi, they were creating history!
Just like when humans first invented ships, only the brave dared to sail on them.
Under the call of the first person's courage—humans gradually conquered the sea. And only Konoha Shinobi with courage dared to board such a spaceship to conquer the sky!
Thinking of this, even the weakest Elite Genin in the accompanying team couldn't help but puff out their chests!
As for the question of whether the first to conquer the sky were the Sky Shinobi…
The Sky Shinobi had been completely wiped out, not a single one remaining. So, the first to conquer the sky were only them—Konoha Shinobi!
Shaking his body in the tremors, Gojo Kaigetsu's face showed joy. He could clearly feel that the only sky fortress in the Shinobi world was ascending.
The sky city continued to rise. Gojo Kaigetsu ordered, "Ascend! Ascend above the clouds!"
"Yes! Advisor!" The Yamanaka clan ninja responsible for operating the sky fortress was also filled with excitement—like a baby who had found a new toy, manipulating the sky fortress to continue climbing.
Of course, the sky fortress rising to such a height consumed a huge amount of chakra.
In the main control room of the fortress, the instrument panel monitoring the chakra reserves was falling at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The Yamanaka clan ninja didn't dare to delay. According to the plan, he urged the sky fortress to move towards the sky above Konoha with all his might.
Until the clouds were stepped on beneath their feet.
The Konoha Shinobi who came to the deck gasped, looking down at the ground. Everything was turning into small black dots the size of sesame seeds.
They… had done it!
Gojo Kaigetsu also came to the deck, subconsciously spreading his arms, letting the cold air at high altitude blow on his face, listening to the broadcast of prosperity that had been omitted, and squinting with enjoyment:
"Freedom~"
——
After a while, Terumī Mei—who had taken leave from Konoha Academy to act as a secretary, came to Gojo Kaigetsu's side. She was holding a small notebook in her hand and reported:
"Roughly estimated, the Sky Fortress, Ancor Vantian, can accommodate more than 1,000 people living here. It has complete living facilities, conventional ninja tool production lines…"
Gojo Kaigetsu commented, "This sky fortress is like a small flying Shinobi village. Fortunately, it was discovered in time."
Terumī Mei did not refute, and acquiesced that she was now a Konoha ninja.
"In addition, during the operation, together with the existing flying ninja tools inside the fortress, about 100 sets of flying ninja tools were seized… divided into two types."
Terumī Mei took out a sealing scroll from her arms and released the flying ninja tools.
One set was the equipment that Gojo Kaigetsu remembered the Sky Shinobi wearing when they bombed Konoha.
Worn on a person, with arms outstretched, the wings contained explosive tags and kunai that could be launched at any time. It was equivalent to a bomber, and even an ordinary Genin could operate it.
The other set was a floating tool tied to the wrists and ankles. It was much lighter and more flexible, and could achieve the purpose of moving freely in the air.
But it was not equipped with devices for launching kunai or explosive tags, and was suitable for individual ninja infiltration operations.
Both sets of flying ninja tools were engraved with sealing formulas that had never been seen before.
When chakra was injected into them—it was transformed into a specific Wind Release ninjutsu, providing the user with a continuous source of lift.
The common point was that the speed of both sets of flight tools was not very fast, and the flight altitude that could be maintained was limited, and they could not fly for a long time.
The cold shape of the flying ninja tools reflected a metallic luster. It could be seen that these equipment were newly made and were ready to be used at any time.
Gojo Kaigetsu held it in his hand and played with it for a while: "After returning to the village, immediately recruit ninjas for closed training to form our Konoha's secret air force~"
Saying that, he couldn't wait to put on the second set of flying ninja tools, which shocked Terumī Mei. "This is very dangerous! The Sky Shinobi themselves practiced for several weeks to master their use."
Gojo Kaigetsu tightened the black strap behind his head, and in front of Terumī Mei, he crossed his arms in front of his chest and leaned back straight.
The air seemed to still hold his confident echo:
"This, you see, is called a Leap of Faith!"
'I'm Iron Man!'
