Hidan had zero amount of worry about the incoming machine gun bullets. When the kinetic energy reached its peak, he formed hand seals.
"Summoning Jutsu!"
The summoned turtle was teleported beneath his feet. Then, using the turtle as a leverage point, Hidan pushed off with force.
"You've gone too far, Hidan!"
The summoned turtle cursed before being kicked away, severing the spiritual connection and returning to the summoning realm.
After the second jump, Hidan's figure was already close to the Black Hawk helicopter. However, instead of trying to land on the helicopter, he took his Triple-Bladed Scythe in his hands.
"Come down!"
Hidan grabbed the chain at the end of the scythe and swung it in a circle. The scythe, now coated with Hidan's chakra, cut through the body of the Black Hawk directly.
"Swoosh!"
Without any resistance, the Black Hawk was sliced in half in mid-air. It disintegrated as it fell, triggering an even larger explosion from the missiles on board.
In the military base, witnessing the final moments of the descending Black Hawk, everyone on-site looked at each other in shock. Jumping up a kilometer in two consecutive jumps had completely shattered their understanding.
Barton picked up the microphone and shouted to the remaining two Black Hawk helicopters, "Increase altitude immediately! Tank battalion, initiate indiscriminate artillery coverage!"
...
After jumping down from the sky, Hidan glanced at the fallen Black Hawk beside him and then turned his gaze towards the distance. He saw two Black Hawk helicopters raising their altitudes.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
A large number of shells were once again fired from the tank battalion stationed six kilometers away. These were powerful ballistic missiles.
"Swoosh!"
Hidan, with full speed, broke the sound barrier. In just a few breaths, he had already reached the two-kilometer distance.
The tank crew had just fired the first round of artillery following Barton's command, but before the shells could reach Hidan, he was already in front of them.
Hidan looked at the tanks ahead, and as his figure flickered, he appeared beside one of them. He lifted his leg and kicked from the side.
"Boom!"
The tank, weighing 51 tons, was directly kicked by Hidan and sent flying towards another tank nearby.
The two tanks collided violently, causing a fierce explosion. The shells inside the tanks were directly detonated.
The sudden change on the side quickly caught the attention of other tank crews. The machine gunners on the tanks immediately activated auxiliary weapons, including 12.7mm coaxial machine guns and 7.62mm remote-controlled machine guns.
The remaining eight tanks' sixteen machine guns quickly changed direction, trying to aim at Hidan's figure, but they couldn't keep up with his speed.
"Hahaha, your Lord Hidan is here!"
Hidan leaped to the front of a tank, hooked the barrel of the tank with his Triple-Bladed Scythe, and with a powerful swing, he lifted and slammed the tank onto two other tanks nearby.
"Dang!"
The muffled sound of metal collision resonated as the tank smashed onto the lower tank, directly flattening the second layer of the cannon. Two tanks were scrapped, but this time, there was no explosion triggering missiles.
Hidan's speed was astonishing. In just a few minutes, the remaining eight tanks were either smashed or split in half by his Triple-Bladed Scythe.
Hidan, now at the level of an S-rank ninja, had a terrifying destructive power. The chakra-infused Triple-Bladed Scythe could cut through anything. The tank battalion made no effective counterattack and was completely destroyed by Hidan.
In the sky, the two Black Hawk helicopters launched the two Hellfire missiles they carried, and all four missiles, trailing flames behind them, flew towards Hidan.
However, the Hellfire missiles, while fast in the eyes of ordinary people, were just very slow for Hidan.
Hidan grabbed a section of a tank barrel that had been split in half and swung it towards the incoming missiles. The half tank collided with the first Hellfire missile, causing it to explode.
"Boom!"
The explosion of the first Hellfire missile directly turned the half-tank it collided with into fragments. The second, third, and fourth missiles flew through the smoke towards Hidan.
However, Hidan's speed was like lightning. He rapidly moved forward, creating a considerable distance from the missiles.
The Hellfire missiles were nearing the ground and couldn't change their course through automatic targeting. They crashed into the wreckage of the tank battalion.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
Hidan's speed was extremely fast, instantly escaping the explosion range. The three exploding Hellfire missiles completely wiped out the tank battalion, but they caused no harm to the target.
…
In the military base-
Barton watched as his tank battalion was annihilated, one Black Hawk helicopter was lost, and over a hundred field agents from S.H.I.E.L.D. were dead. His face was as dark as a black eggplant, matching the color of Black Lava Eggs.
Watching Hidan's demonstrated strength, Barton once thought that Coulson's intelligence was wrong.
Speed faster than artillery and missiles, unscathed under artillery coverage, and not even scratched by the light machine guns on the Black Hawks.
Was this the strength a small rouge ninja from a small village should have?
At this moment, Barton was contemplating what kind of weapon to use to kill Hidan.
Because they were in a foreign country, although S.H.I.E.L.D. had obtained local military authorization, they didn't bring large missile launchers and nuclear warheads when they came. It wasn't because they didn't want to.
It was just that other United Nations member countries absolutely wouldn't allow S.H.I.E.L.D. to freely launch powerful missiles all over the world, or they would shoot down S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Airbus directly from the sky.
"Chief, what is the maximum attack radius of the missiles carried by the fighter jets at the base?"
"Sir, currently, the maximum blast radius of the air-to-ground missiles carried by the fighter jets at the base is only 300 meters."
Hearing the 300-meter blast radius, Barton's face didn't look any better. The base's fighter jets only had two, each carrying four missiles in one go, and the maximum attack area only covered two kilometers.
At the missile's Mach 3 speed, the time from being discovered by Hidan to the attack explosion had long allowed him to escape the blast range.
Unless it was an intercontinental missile with a larger attack area, or one carrying a large-yield nuclear or hydrogen warhead that could cover tens of kilometers.
