Naruto : Saga of Tanya the Kunoichi

"Sergeant, Iwa had placed 10 Jonin level combatants around Kannabi Bridge." Ayame re-iterate the intel they gathered prior via aerial reconnaissance.

Tsuyu rubbed her chin. 10 Jonin to simply guard a freaking bridge was almost too much in normal times. Jonin weren't cabbages. However, Iwa could afford it. Konoha was fighting with 2000 units against 10,000.

And they seemed to learn from their past mistakes. She could guess even if they destroy the bridge, they would have enough manpower to send shinobi with enough skill of earth release to rebuild it in a matter of minutes. 

From history and even today Kannabi Bridge was still a very important route of supply for Iwa. During the Third Shinobi War, Kakashi's squad succeeded in their mission to destroy the bridge in the middle of the war and caused Iwa to have to retreat.

A small grin flashed in her expression.

"Commander,you can leave the bridge to my squad. We will stake out around this bridge and prevent them from having any rest." Tsuyu turned to Kaito.

"Proceed." He nodded and gave a green light. Tsuyu had a lot of ways to deal with it, and while there was no big battle or kage level opponent coming out so far Tsuyu could be deployed for this until their opponent responded.

It was akin to Onoki himself attacking Konoha's backline and cutting off their supply route. Such a tasteless thing to do for a Kage tier combat power. But Tsuyu had always been a mobile trump card and wouldn't have any problem returning to the main front quickly.

Tsuyu's squad took off the next hour, heading towards the direction of Kannabi bridge.

***

Carts of goods and supplies pulled by horses were observed from above. Sealing scroll requires expensive chakra conducting paper and has limited space. Iwagakure wasn't rich enough to have too many sealing scrolls.

Tsuyu looked down with her telescope as she glided through the air. She had a thought - what if she just landed and unleash all of her power there after aerial bombardment to settle things quickly. 

She shook her head. It's too risky. Why would she risk herself when she can send shadow clones.

While at it, maybe Nue and Reibi could do some training. Nue had grown to a size 5 meters stall while standing on all 4, while Reibi was already in its former glory. 

"You two. Stop feeding off Kurama and do some exercise! Go on my command." 

She said inwardly. Those two seemed more than happy, already bored staying inside all day.

"Open bombardment! Initiate!" Tsuyu sent her command to her squad.

The 4 people swooshed in, pointing their guns towards the bridge. With a click, tens of sharp projectiles with explosive seals landed on the bridge, engulfing the whole structure and the carts passing through in flames and explosion.

After the first round, the ten Jonin in the perimeter finally responded. To Tsuyu's surprise, all 10 of them could actually fly, and even, there's extra 10 that were Chunin level accompanying them. They could also lighten the weight of other units, letting others fly as well.

Interesting. They are expecting our units.

Tsuyu flashed a grin. It's been a while since she had a good dog-fight. Even if it's 4 against 20, she felt they were too backward.

But first…

"Nue, Reibi!" The creatures responded inside of her, dark chakra flared from Tsuyu's body for a second before the two entities moved out of her body and landed on the ground.

"Roar!" Nue stood like a giant beast, black slimy chakra entity wrapped around his body was Reibi, acting like he's Nue's black slimy tentacle armor, with Reibi's tall long head protruding out of Nue's back. Reibi's face turned from the mask-like face into multiple eyed monstrous amalgamation, showing a grin with rows of sharp teeth.

"Hnhnhn…hnhnhn!" It let out a creepy laughter of Orochimaru's, flicking its creepy long tongue across its lips sending fear down everyone's spine. Nue roared and unleashed its negative chakra, causing mass fear and panic among them even more. 

Tsuyu summoned 3 shadow clones, heading down to support those two to make it smoother.

Nue used its tail to slap those coming to attack him, while Reibi attacked with multiple purple limbs. Vines, small wood releases were seen intermittently, draining chakra from those who got caught. Reibi himself grabbed each victim and absorbed their chakra with an evil laugh, while Tsuyu's shadow clones acted as extra hands.

What is that monster!? Tenten, Ino and Hinata were just as shocked as Iwa's shinobi below.

Tsuyu didn't know the two would learn to cooperate like that. Maybe those two even practiced together while inside Kurama's cage. She turned her gaze to the coming 20 flying units, leaving the ground units to those two.

"Formation C!"

"Yes Captain!"

The squad separated into pairs. Ino with Tenten, while Hinata with Tsuyu. Tsuyu and Tenten act as the main offensive, while the other two act as the wingman, flying at a little higher altitude to cover fire.

The Weightless Corp of 20 saw two pairs separated from the 4 people, going to encircle them in left and right.

"Split in two!" They responded to defend against the 4 flying units.

Tenten had her heart racing, that this would be her first real battle.

It's my time to show the result of my hard work!

"Ino, cover me!" 

"Roger!"

The two approached the 10 flying shinobi from the side, pointing their guns and shooting projectiles towards them with their guns.

The opponents they fought were almost too clumsy in dodging, only using their sight and dodging like they were on land. 

The captain of the 10 flying Iwa made his move. "Stone bullets! Fire!"

The 10 of them made hand seals. 

"Dodge!" Tenten noticed the incoming rocks shooting from their mouth, using aerial maneuvers to spin and roll, making herself harder to track.

"Their movements were too…!" Seeing all of their bullets missed, each of them had panic in their faces. They had always had air supremacy in the Shinobi World previously, and they never had training to do such movements nor how to counter it!

Tenten flashed a grin on her face. With a barrel roll followed by a dive, she took out a sealing scroll and waved it in the air.

Out of it a flurry of kunai shot towards the 5 squadron. In a matter of seconds, 3 of them received cuts and got downed. Few of them tried to shoot Tenten, but as they remain stationary to aim and shoot at her, Ino acting as Tenten's wingmen shoot down explosive rounds towards them, one missed, but the other-

Bang!

She took down two units with that round.

With the gap in their defense from their explosion blowing at them, Tenten rushed in with a powerful chakra blast from her wings, almost arriving in melee towards them.

Weapon Control: Twin Rising Dragon!

Armed with two sealing scrolls, she spun in the air creating a beautiful helical shape in the air as multiple projectile weapons shot to all of them in the air in a barrage.

"Gahh..!" One of them shouted from being struck. All of them were taken down, unable to dodge the myriads of projectiles from her technique.

"Ha…ha… haha! I did it!" Tenten cheered herself as she saw the last of her opponents fall. 

Splat!

"Ergh… he fell head first…" Tenten irked in disgust seeing the brain spilled out. 

Ino and Tenten regrouped with Tsuyu and Hinata that had already finished their job. Though, a Jonin of Iwa was seen held like a dead person in Tsuyu's arm.

"Tenten, seal this guy." 

"Ah. Okay captain!"

The 4 come down for a while after their battle to seal him inside a scroll. Tsuyu looked at Nue and Reibi relishing their meals with half-living corpses piled up in front of them, absorbing chakra out of tens of victims until their corpses turned dry. Nue used its tail that could split into multiple snake heads and bite into each half living shinobi.

"Hinata, report."

"11 people escaped based on the remains left here." Nue and Reibi weren't exactly an effective killer and let many escape. Her shadow clones didn't have much chakra to waste their time chasing either.

"Hm. Expect more reinforcement coming here. We wouldn't engage directly from now on. Our objective is only the bridge."

"Yes captain!"

***

Onoki read the report that reached his office in half an hour handed by his assistant.

"What! 20 members of Weightless Corp were already staking out there! How could they all die?"

"Eh? Sensei sensei! Now I can go out?!" Deidara at the side practicing molding clays heard his rant.

"Damn it… those Konoha's flying units were more difficult than I thought."

"Summoning monsters of 5 meter size… the abilities… drain chakra?" Onoki frowned while reading the report. 

"Fine. You can go! But don't play around. Retreat if you can't do it. Just make sure to not explode our own shinobi. And if you could, bring back their technology, if it's salvageable."

Deidara flicked his tongue to Onoki, already summoning his clay bird outside.

"I can't promise that sensei! I can't control my explosions but I will certainly kill them! Just wait, sensei!" 

"This bastard…! Wait where are you going?! You can't just go alone! Your team!" Onoki cursed at Deidara who had already jumped out of the window to solo and yolo.

"Finally! I will show them, true art of explosion!!!" Deidara rode his bird, already excited to explode stuff. He especially wanted to try out his new colourful explosions!
