Flying at low altitudes is not very safe.
Ninjas on the ground still have strong anti-air combat capabilities. Low-altitude and low-speed flying targets can easily become targets of concentrated fire if they cannot use their strength to quickly change their orientation.
After issuing the order with a voice signal, Gushan Bushui quickly landed near the bridge of the steel battleship and was welcomed in by the guards.
Let the captain continue to sit in the command position and issue orders, and use heavy artillery to attack the enemy's waters. It is not necessary to cause effective damage, but to disrupt the enemy's actions.
The busy adjutant conveyed a series of orders to Gushan Bushui and then stood not far behind him, waiting for further instructions.
Frowning, he looked at Gu Shanbu Shui in the thick fog outside the porthole, and asked thoughtfully:
"What's your name? You responded promptly and did a good job..."
He was aware of the boss's message at the first time, and decoded the code to stabilize his position. He was also able to organize the panicked teams and stabilize the defense line. The credit was certainly not small, and it was indispensable to reward him after the fact.
"My name is Yasukawa Zaihara, and I am the descendant of a servant who followed the master into the Fusagi family. My grandfather was a concubine of the branch family. Three generations have been working in the military defense system..."
"Oh? It can be considered as my family..."
Kosugi Bushui has many distant relatives. In the case of Yasukawa Zaihara, the genetic relationship is relatively close.
The relatives from my grandfather's line can be considered one of Gushan Bushui's important relies. Even if the amazing genius has not discovered it, there are still some that can be put to use.
Gu Shan Bu Shui, who changed his attitude to a gentler one, chuckled and said:
"Many people say that all the essence of the Yasukawa clan over the past century has been concentrated on me and my father, Masayoshi Furusugi, and the rest is just a waste of time and money. Such ridicule is really a bit vicious. Geniuses are rare, and mediocre people who work hard are the only ones. Normally, whether you can stand out depends on your performance at critical moments. You... are quite eye-catching."
Those who are good at fighting have no great achievements. Talents like Yasukawa Zaihara who can do their job well are very rare.
"Young Master, Yasukawa Zaiyuan will never let you down and is willing to die for the family..."
"I remember it, no need to stress it. Go ahead and do your own thing. I hope to see your name in the subsequent evaluation report..."
There were so many servants surrounding Gushan and his son, most of whom were distant relatives, but there were only a few whose names Gushan Bushui could really remember.
The Togakure family, which started as a rich man, was the head of the local Shinto clan. In the eyes of the old-fashioned big shots, they were only a third-rate family. After joining the Yasukawa family, they actually started to show signs of rising.
Togakushi Hinode was able to be chosen as a "study partner" to go to the Konoha Village Ninja School with Furugi Bushi to "further study". He was really envious of others, and many people, big and small, tried to look familiar in front of Furugi Bushui. There is no young master who is not envious.
No matter how pretentious he is, it can't be compared to the promotion of the big shots above. Togakushi Hinode may have some talents and talents, but so what?
There are so many talents that have been buried, how many can come forward?
Who doesn't want to be the second "Togakushi Sunrise" and be lured by Kosugi Bosui as his confidant?
The ecstatic Yasukawa Zaihara returned to his post despite the fiery attention of the crowd around him. He calmed down and, while contacting the officers on each ship, shifted the focus of defense to the location of Gushan Bushui.
Forcibly suppressing the anxiety in his heart, Gu Shanbu Shui walked to the bow of the ship, facing the cold and moist sea breeze, sensing the movements of the enemy in the distance.
"too slow! No wonder that in a head-to-head confrontation, the daimyo side are not shy at all. If they really show their strength, they will be led around by the nose. 』
The stupid and clumsy armed forces really can't take advantage in the face of the stronger and more flexible ninjas. An army that is good at formation battles can easily be defeated by the ninja squad using special warfare and security warfare.
The fleet anchored in the port cannot exert its full strength, and the main guns of the battleships also have blind spots. Once the enemy seizes the loophole, it can easily be breached.
It is very different from the ordinary people's imagination of ocean-going ships that can immediately set sail as long as the captain gives the order. It is quite troublesome to prepare for a real giant ship to set sail.
At the technological level of later generations, mainstream diesel-powered merchant ships would take nearly an hour from various inspections to warm-up and standby.
The current technological level of the ninja world has not reached that level, and the main engines used are not heavy oil-burning, but steam-powered ships and boilers, which is more troublesome in some aspects.
Compared with diesel engines, steam engines are mature technologies, not backward technologies.
This point is very different from the perception of the general public. The diesel power that appeared later is not necessarily more advanced than the steam engine that appeared earlier. Both turbine technologies have their own advantages and disadvantages. Due to changes in ship development needs, diesel engines have taken over the mainstream, but steam turbine technology has not been eliminated. Instead, because of its advantages of not being picky about fuel, strong power, and high stability, steam turbine technology has been widely used in the industry. Certain areas are increasingly important.
The technology of burning boilers cannot be eliminated as long as humans are active in the atmosphere and still use fossil energy.
The armed forces of the five large ships are very powerful, and their paper strength far exceeds that of the enemy. However, if a conflict does occur, the initiative is not in their own hands.
This is also the true contrast between the secular class led by the daimyo and the strength of the shinobi village.
Only one-third of the Uchiha clan, who inherited the bloodline of the Six Paths Sage and possess the gift of Sage Eyes, have the qualifications to become ninjas. At their peak, the awakened Sharingan Uchiha clan members did not exceed 20% of the ninjas in the clan. Most of the time, they hovered around 10%.
This is still a serious genius family with the blood of gods flowing through it. The ratio of ninjas from other ethnic groups is definitely far inferior.
Except for a few ninjas, they are all mortal. In the face of secular force with absolute numerical superiority, they cannot afford to fight a war of attrition and protracted war. But ninjas are not stupid, they are also very proficient in strategy and tactics, and they will not do stupid things like using their own shortcomings to attack the enemy's strong points. Identifying the weak points can also have the effect of making a huge difference.
This attack by the fog ninjas was obviously planned in this way. The organized escort team was very threatening. Once the thick fog blocked the transmission of military orders, there was nothing to worry about.
The most effective method is, of course, to assassinate the nominal leader Gushan Bushui. As long as he beheads or captures the young family governor, the entire fleet is almost in hand, and a ransom can be extorted along the way.
The Konoha ninjas who understood this truth learned of their employer's whereabouts and quickly moved closer. After not seeing each other for a while, Metkai, Shiranui Genma and Ebisu all looked a bit unhappy.
"It's really troublesome. I originally took the mission as an opportunity to take you on a trip to the mountains and rivers, and have fun on vacation. I didn't expect to encounter such a thing..."
Shiranui Genma responded calmly:
"Don't worry, we Konoha ninjas will not give up the mission. Now we need to figure out what the purpose of the enemy's attack is. If the target is us, it is the grudge between Konoha Village and Kirigakure Village, but if it is aimed The fleet is a bit strange!”
The Third Ninja World War has ended long ago. It cannot be said that there are no regular members of the Ninja Village as bandits and robbers, but it is obviously abnormal to directly target big financial backers like the Fusagi family.
In full view of the public, it is impossible to completely block the news. They will definitely be held accountable afterwards. The targets of several Mist ninjas are too small to be dealt with. The Hidden Mist Village and the Kingdom of Water cannot escape.
If something happens to Gu Shanbu Shui, the Mist Ninjas will never be able to receive missions from the Fire Country. They will be made things difficult if they come to do business. Just relying on the support of a barren land like the Water Country, the Mist Ninjas will not be able to survive. It's going to be sad.
"I wonder if the Young Master has any reliable information? Maybe we can help with it..."
Ebisu lost no time in asking, and Kosugi Fusui didn't hide anything:
"There are a total of nine mist ninjas who are above chunin, and two of them feel very dangerous. As for whether there are hidden enemies, it is still unknown. The main gun salvo just now, only the first round caught them off guard and suffered some losses. It’s just fire suppression from behind!”
It was because the thick fog obscured the sight that the cannon could not aim at all. It would have been difficult to hit the agile ninja. With such a blind shooting, one could only rely on luck.
Gushan Bushui does have a way to sense the approximate location of the opponent, but it is impossible for the governor of the Gushan family to go to the cannon in person, right? How would that be appropriate?
"Then...wait for reinforcements or negotiate with the other party?"
The upright Metkai asked kindly,
"The other party didn't attack directly, they just trapped us. Do they want to make demands?"
"Maybe!"
After hesitating for a while, Gusugi Bushui rejected the Konoha ninja's suggestion.
"The honor of the Gushan family does not allow me to sign an alliance under the city..."
"It's not that exaggerated..."
The thick-browed taijutsu ninja sneered and tried to deal with it.
"You are ninjas and you don't understand the weight of Gushan's name! I don't care what the other party wants to do. Since they come to provoke you, you must be prepared to be killed..."
As he spoke, the young governor suppressed his usual smile and gestured to the guards not far away. Someone immediately turned around and went to the deepest ammunition warehouse and took out several weird-looking cannon barrels.
"The Kosugi family, who are praised for their kindness, is not just a deputy who rules the country through virtue. There are always people who forget the true face of us great nobles. We have both compassion and prajna anger. It is unreasonable to kill people. Blinking!"
Opening up the perception to the maximum, the smell of blood in the air floated from a distance. It was obvious that someone on the Mist Ninja side was injured, but they did not rush to retreat. Instead, the original joking mood turned into a desire to kill. .
Gushan Bu Shui no longer hesitated and asked several servants to adjust the position of the barrel, put a few fat and big guys that were obviously different from ordinary ammunition and rockets into it, and started to ignite it.
It was the first time that he was so angry, and he prepared for a large-scale "cleaning" without hesitation, without even thinking too much about possible accidental injuries. The young family governor really couldn't restrain his negative emotions.
Since you are honestly upgrading and killing monsters and farming, there will always be people who come to make trouble, so let’s give them some color.
The fuse was quickly burned to the end, and the unique cannon barrels were arranged on the side of the ship, making a deafening roar and spreading out in a fan shape at the possible positions of the Mist Ninja.
After the continuous explosions, the thrown "shrapnel" fell to the water surface, and then experienced a second explosion. The quenched blue lead pellets, like a violent storm, completely enveloped the sea surface.
Regardless of whether there is Kirigakure Jutsu or not, it does not affect the display of its power.
The rising fireworks did not go out even when they fell on the sea. They were secondary injuries caused by the splashing of fire oil. If they were contaminated by the fire oil, they would not be extinguished for a while and would not burn a big hole in the skin. It may stop.
Sure enough, along with the continuous crackling and roaring of the artillery shells, bursts of shrill screams came from the thick fog.
By this time, the sun had set, the bright moonlight was shining, and the rolling fog gradually dissipated under the heat of the flames.
After the surrounding visibility began to recover, only the flames still floating on the sea, as well as a large piece of blood and a few pieces of tattered clothes proved that someone had been here before.
"Did you escape? You guys ran fast..."
Although there was thick fog blocking the line of sight, it was impossible to see clearly what was going on, but those movements could not deceive anyone. When Ebisu was exploring the battlefield, the pupils of his eyes behind his sunglasses could not help but shrink slightly, and half of them were broken. The remaining arm was gradually sinking into the deep sea at my feet.
Not far away, Shiranui Genma and Metkai were also trying their best to hide the shock in their hearts.
"Indiscriminate attacks and brutal clearing shells are a bit like Ruyulu Qianben, but the power and scope of the impact are ridiculously large."
Shiranui Genma's Qianbon stopped fishing, squatted down slightly, and tapped the blood-foamed seawater a few times with his hand, proving that all this was really not an illusion.
One shell can kill all the enemies in an area within the scope of a large school grounds. There is no chance of survival for chuunin and below, and even unprepared jounin cannot escape. Like this...dozens of rounds will explode in the leaf village. ,The consequences could be disastrous! "
Of course, how to bring dangerous thermal weapons to Konoha Village without alerting Konoha ninjas is also an unsolvable problem. However, whether it can be done and whether it can be done are two completely different concepts. .
It was also the first time that Gushan Bu Shui used cluster bombs to deal with ninjas. The effect was indeed good, but... it seemed too cruel.
"This thing is a trial work. It is made by hand and the cost is high. I would not be willing to use it unless I had to."
With the current level of science and technology in the ninja world, it is almost impossible to mass-produce truly powerful weapons. We can only use the power of ninjutsu to make up for the shortcomings of industrial development and create some "high-quality" weapons.
The one I just used was more effective than surprise. It was hard to say whether it could kill a Jonin. But it was really effective against Chunin who were of acceptable strength but not very powerful.
"No wonder... for a noble like you, most of the ninjas you hire are bodyguards. For the rest, your subordinates do the job for you, and they do a pretty good job..."
"You can't say that!"
Gu Shan Bu Shui said with a smile,
"In the war of the ninja world, we still need to rely on the power of the ninja village. If we just rely on us to gather the ninja army to fight positional warfare, it will be a lose-lose result..."
As for ninjas, general missions seem very expensive, but if they buy their lives and go to the battlefield, they seem very cheap. If a mercenary dies, they don't even need to pay a pension, so they are very suitable to be used as cannon fodder.
