Chapter 708 Who said that only those who stand in the light are heroes?

Late at night.

Northwest of the Land of Earth, close to the border of the Land of Earth.

Endless loess fills the vast sky, and the dry moonlight pours down, adding a bit of warmth to this lonely loess plateau.

Accompanied by continuous whistling sounds coming from the distant sky.

The tranquility here was broken in an instant.

under the moonlight.

Hundreds of Rock Ninjas moved fully armed, some riding the Pegasus purchased from the Kingdom of Hot Springs into the sky, others performing the "Super Light and Heavy Rock Technique" to allow themselves to move quickly in the sky.

There is no doubt that this is the most elite force in the Iwagakure Village.

The leader was none other than the Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki, who was flying at the front of the team, leaving the crowd far behind.

There is no doubt that it was the air force from the Land of Demons that broke the tranquility of the fortress.

They seemed to be heading somewhere very quickly, and there was a strong sense of urgency on their faces, as if they had something urgent to do.

"Lord Tsuchikage!"

An Anbu riding a Pegasus suddenly appeared and spoke very quickly.

"At twelve o'clock, we have confirmed the whereabouts of two members of the Akatsuki organization. They are ten kilometers away from us, and their target seems to be directly targeting Lord Han!"

Hearing this, Ohnoki's face tightened and he made a decision instantly.

"Notify the 1st, 3rd, 5th and 6th battalions in the rear to follow up with all their strength! The 8th to 12th battalions will surround them from the left wing, and the 4th and 7th battalions will outflank from the right to block all the escape routes of the two Akatsuki rebels! How dare you plan to attack the Jinchuriki of the Iwagakure Village? You are simply courting death!!!"

Before the angry words fell, Ōnoki's figure suddenly accelerated, turned into a phantom and disappeared on the spot.

After receiving the notice, the Iwagakure ninjas from various teams showed angry expressions on their faces.

Even though they have left the village, the prestige of the two Jinchuriki within the Iwagakure Village is beyond the imagination of others!

Just as the army was rushing off to battle, in a dark corner of the ground below they were flying over, a figure silently emerged from the distorted air.

He looked up, and his pupils couldn't help but shrink when he saw the neatly-organized flying troops in the night sky.

"As expected of the Iwagakure Village, that old man Ohnoki actually quietly assembled such an air combat unit..."

Although for him who has mastered the time and space ninjutsu, such special forces cannot cause him too much trouble.

But compared to ordinary ninja troops, the destructive power that this air combat force can exert is beyond their imagination!

"Next, let's just pray that those two guys can move faster..."

Ōnoki, who possesses the Dust Release, is a super-powerful ninja that even he is unwilling to fight! Among the six contemporary Kage, he is one of the two beings he fears the most.

Add to that this 800-man air combat force, if a fight breaks out, it is very likely that he will not show up.

Take a moment to identify the direction.

The three-blade fan-shaped Sharingan under the mask began to rotate, forming a strange pattern that looked like a sickle and a windmill, flashing a blood-red light in the darkness.

The surrounding space twisted and deformed again, and his figure merged into the spatial fluctuations that were quickly smoothed out.

......

Under the dark night.

A sturdy man wearing a black hat and special armor was leaning against a branch at the top of the tree with his eyes closed and sleeping soundly.

suddenly!

A pair of hands slowly emerged from the night sky and reached towards his head.

The sleeping figure suddenly opened his eyes, as if foreseeing the coming danger.

boom!

Surging steam gushed out from around him, allowing him to instantly move to a nearby tree. A large amount of high-pressure steam beams gushed out from the mechanism in his hand, rushing towards the enemy like a laser.

The black shadow flashed in the dim environment and easily avoided the steam attack.

"Haha, Biluhu, it seems your plan didn't work! You've alerted this guy. This may be a bit tricky."

Although he said this, the person's tone seemed unusually relaxed, as if he didn't care much about his teammate's mistake.

"Shut up! You talkative guy!" An unhappy curse came from the direction of the figure named Beiliuhu.

At this time, another figure slowly walked out of the darkness.

Under the moonlight, he was slender and his face was as pale as paper. His unique features instantly made the person who was attacked recognize his identity, and his expression suddenly changed. "Orochimaru!!!"

Suddenly.

The white tail behind the big man began to tremble slightly.
