161 Chapter 160 Mounts?

In fact, not only Sōseki, but everyone was agitated because of Kumogakure's sudden attack.

No matter how dull people are, they can see that Kumogakure came prepared.

Asuma then asked solemnly, "Sōseki, what do you think Kumogakure is doing? Even the A–B Combo were dispatched because of Hoshigakure's Shinobi."

With the strength of the two, it is indeed a bit unreasonable to make a special trip just to deal with Hoshigakure's Shinobi.

At this time, Natsuhi came over, "I'm sorry, I want to explain that their target does not seem to be all Hoshigakure's Shinobi, but only some of us."

'Compared with other Hoshigakure's Shinobi, her characteristic is that she trains the Mysterious Peacock Method to the point where she can fly. But to specifically target the flying Shinobi, could it be that..... It was Land of Sky's Shinobi who contacted them?' Sōseki is not sure, but he recalled that Land of Sky have a deep hatred towards Konoha.

'It stands to reason that they should not have resurrected the so-called "Reibi" (Zero Tail) at this point in time, but who can say that it is not possible? If it is really "Reibi", then it will feed on the dark and negative emotions born in the war. It makes sense!'

Sōseki pondered for a moment, and then suddenly asked, "How many Hoshigakure's Shinobi, who have gone to the battlefield, are able to fly?"

Natsuhi thought for a moment and said, "To fly, we need to train the Mysterious Peacock Method to a very high level. Among our companions on the battlefield, only seven people should have reached this stage."

Sōseki glanced at the large group behind him and said, "Although I also hope that my guess is wrong, but with so many people gathered together, we have to prepare in advance!"

Hearing this, Kurenai asked in confusion," Sōseki, what are you talking about?"

Sōseki looked up at the sky and said, "I'm worried that they will attack from the sky!"

"Sky?" Asuma's eyes widened. "How is it possible? Could it be that Kumogakure took in the Missing-nin from Hoshigakure?"

Sōseki shook his head slightly and said, "I don't have time to explain further. I want all Shinobi who are proficient in Earth Release to dig the underground air-raid shelter with me. By the way, we also need to remind the staff of the main camp to pay attention to concealment. If there is an air attack, they will definitely be the main target of the bombing."

The people of Sōseki's team naturally don't need to be said anymore, as they have long regarded Sōseki's words as their standard. As for Hoshigakure's Shinobi, thanks to the previous rescue operations, no one questioned Sōseki.

Therefore, everyone quickly acted.

Main camp.

After receiving the information, Yamanaka Kaze quickly reported it to Orochimaru.

"Air attack?" Orochimaru narrowed his eyes slightly, "Could it be survivor of the Land of Sky?"

Having experienced the Second Shinobi World War, he naturally reached this answer quickly.

Because it was Konoha who destroyed the Land of Sky at that time!

"Order everyone to be scattered and hidden, don't gather together!"

Yamanaka Kaze was surprised and exclaimed, "Isn't it decided so soon? If the air attack does not happen, it might make everyone dissatisfied...After all, everyone is already very tired."

Orochimaru smiled and said, " How can you think about dili-dallying at a time like this? We should choose to believe in Sōseki!"

Soon, everyone, the main camp also began to move.

At a time like this, there is really no way to explain it everyone, so they can only convince everyone with Orochimaru and Sōseki's prestige.

Therefore, many people still have some complaints in their hearts.

However, when the bombs dropped from the sky and the main camp burst into a grand firework, these complaints turned into gratitude.

The same scene also happened in the underground bomb shelter in the forest.

The people who hid in the air-raid shelter all looked at Sōseki with grateful expression.

Fortunately, Sōseki saw through Kumogakure's conspiracy, otherwise they might have suffered heavy casualties again!

However, Sōseki didn't care about the way they looked at him and just thought to himself, 'I didn't expect it to be really Land of Sky's Shinobi. Although it's not clear whether they have resurrected the Reibi or not, but maybe I can plant a seed ahead of time... and wait for them. When it's almost finished, I can go and harvest the fruit!'

At this moment, Guy said depressedly, "Where did those bastards that can fly in the sky come out from? My Taijutsu can't hit them at all!"

Kurenai said seriously, "It seems to have been mentioned in the book that they seem to be the Shinobi of Land of Sky who perished in the Second Shinobi World War."

Hearing this, Asuma's eyes lit up and he said, "Since they were destroyed, that means their tactics must be flawed! Kurenai, quickly recall it, how did they fail at that time?"

Kurenai then weakly said, "The seniors seemed to have rushed directly into their main camp. No matter how fierce their air attack is, they couldn't throw bombs at their own homes!"

Asuma was dumbfounded and said, "Then, since they don't have a home now, doesn't that mean that they have no weaknesses?"

"Actually, it's not difficult to deal with them under normal circumstances." Sōseki explained, "There are two main methods that the Land of Sky's Shinobi used to attack. One is to use Wind Release to attack from the distance, and the other is to throw bombs from the sky. Both of these methods can only be achieved by lowering their flying altitude."

Guy then said in doubt, "Do they also need to lower their flying altitude when throwing bombs?"

"Because of accuracy problems." Sōseki said, "Bombs are very expensive. If they bombed randomly, their finances can't afford it."

"Once they fly at a lower altitude and get within range, we have many ways to shoot down the enemies. For example, let the Nara Clan to bind their shadow, the Aburame Clan to destroy their Winged Mechanical Device, and even use Genjutsu directly..."

The Hoshigakure's Shinobi, who were on the side, shivered when they heard this. They once imagined taking advantage of air superiority to develop Star Hidden Villages into the sixth Great Shinobi Village, but now it seems that it is fortunate that they did not do so, as they will die quickly.

Asuma then said excitedly, "Then, the next step is to wait for them to lower their flying altitude before counterattacking?"

"That's why I said if it was normal." Sōseki shook his head slightly, "If I'm not mistaken, Kumogakure may be responsible for the production of these explosive bombs. If they spend other people's money, they certainly wouldn't have the psychological burden! In other words, we may not be able to deal with them like we did during the Second Shinobi World War!"

Hearing this, Guy frantically said, "Then, what should we do? Do we can only hide in the cave and not get out?"

"Has not Kumogakure already showed the solution to us?" Sōseki said and then looked towards Natsuhi and said guiltily, "Although I'm sorry, but the only way now seems to be..."

Natsuhi naturally understood what Sōseki means. There are ways to take people to the sky. But it seemed that they couldn't fight very well with such method, such as carrying, and holding.

'In other words, do I need to be used as a "mount"?'

Thinking of this, Natsuhi's pretty face became hot.

But she still managed to keep her composure, and said with dignity, "As long as I can get revenge on Kumogakure, I have no problem about it!"

If the topic turned to revenge, it would seem less embarrassing for them.

Sōseki's expression is sincere, and there was no trace of bad thoughts in his eyes, "Then I'll leave it to my safety!"

Seeing Sōseki's pure eyes, Natsuhi secretly blamed herself, 'Sōseki is thinking about leaving his life to me. How can I be thinking such nonsense?'
