After hearing Tsukihi's question, the healed-up Shinno got up and entered the temple. The other three curiously followed him.
Corridor by corridor, they observed everything around them curiously, Tsukihi was able to notice what this place is…
After walking for a while, four of them arrived at the main compartment, at this time, Shinno walked towards a Stone pillar in the main compartment with a blank expression. Then he lightly pressed on the stone pillar and a hidden grid was revealed where a scroll with a black case was placed.
Tsukihi took out the scroll from the hidden grid and immediately opened it. From the contents, this scroll too recorded the Chimera Technique.
After comparing the information in this scroll with that of the information she remembered from the previous scroll thanks to her Sharingan, Tsukihi noticed that as she expected, most of the information was accurate and same, just the most critical detail was tempered with.
"Sure enough, it's just as I expected." – muttered Tsukihi softly, after that she folded back the scroll and put it inside her Ho Musubi cloak.
Then she again looked at the Blank Shinno and asked, "What exactly is this temple?"
"Ancor Vantian." – Replied Shinno in a mechanical tone.
"Ancor Vantian!?" – Shisui and Itachi muttered in confusion as they glanced at each other with a puzzled expression.
Tsukihi was silent, she knew that there was a giant air fortress in the Land of Sky but she didn't know whether it was this temple or not, as such she asked, "What is 'Ancor Vantian'?"
Shinno replied, "The 'Ancor Vantian' is the Aerial Fortress of Land of Sky…"
"This is indeed Aerial Fortress!" – muttered Tsukihi and then asked, "Can this fortress fly?"
Shinno nodded then shook his head as he added, "It is capable of flight but it's not ready yet as the power system of the fortress has yet to be completely optimized."
Tsukihi asked, "How to optimize the power system?"
Shinno said, "From the Power Room."
"Then what are you waiting for? Lead the way." – instructed Tsukihi.
Shinno nodded and walked towards the exit of the main compartment.
Under the leadership of Shinno, the other three quickly arrived at the power room of Ancor Vantian.
Looking around, Shisui said in surprise, "I never expected that the Land of Sky that was destroyed by us would still hide something like an aerial fortress."
Itachi observed the seals engraved on the walls and asked, "Is this fortress really capable of flight?"
Tsukihi crouched down and took a closer look at the Fuinjutsu engraved all over the power room, "Theoretically it is capable of flight, but the amount of fuel it requires to do so is too much for a single individual or even a few individuals to provide."
Shisui asked, "Which fuel is used here?"
Tsukihi said, "Both mechanisms probably work. That is to say, both electricity and Chakra would work… But in terms of efficiency using Chakra would be better for the long-term functioning of this fortress, and that's where the problem arises, the Chakra amount it requires would be humungous."
Shisui also looked at the Fuinjutsu engraved on the floorings and walls and asked, "Does that mean that this Fuinjutsu is still effective?"
Tsukihi nodded, "Some parts are damaged, but most of it is still working, it would only require some work and testing and they can be continued to be used, however, if I have to say then it would be better to change the seals, instead of repairing these seals, it would be better to redesign the entire mechanism as these seals are somewhat inefficient…"
Among the three of them, Tsukihi's Genjutsu proficiency is the least, now it's not that she is weak in Genjutsu, but Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi are just too good when it comes to Genjutsu usage. Similarly, Tsukihi is the most proficient in Fuinjutsu among the three, now it's not that the other two lack Fuinjutsu knowledge, it's just that Tsukihi is much superior in Fuinjutsu compared to them. As such, she can better analyze the seals in the power room.
Therefore, she said that redrawing the seals would greatly improve efficiency and safety.
Thinking of this, Tsukihi was planning to design a new Fuinjutsu Mechanism casually asked Shinno, "And what were you people planning to do after you have started Ancor Vantian?"
Shinno replied, "Bury the five great Shinobi Villages and Amegakure. We planned to start with Konohagakure!"
As soon as they heard this, both Shisui and Itachi were shocked and uncontrollable killing intent was directed towards Shinno.
Unlike other Uchiha, the village comes before Clan for both Shisui and Itachi, and whoever dares to harm the village is a greater enemy for them.
Shisui said coldly, "You fool, you still planned to destroy Konoha? What you did the last time was not enough already? And do you really think that the likes of this decaying aerial fortress alone can destroy Konoha completely? You are being too arrogant!"
Shinno instinctively shivered, and said, "The weapon system of Ancor Vantian is functioning properly. And this fortress contains a Chakra Cannon that can completely wipe out an entire shinobi village within seconds… Konohagakure wouldn't have held much longer even with their barrier cover."
"YOU…!?" – Shisui was suddenly speechless.
Itachi on the other hand breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, we acted on the right opportunity and subdued him first, otherwise the village would have been in danger."
Tsukihi nodded indifferently but there was still some lingering fear.
Even if Shinno has overestimated the capabilities of the Chakra Cannon, there's no telling whether the Chakra Cannon is not capable of what he says.
After all, the Raikage claimed that their Chakra Cannon is capable of destroying the moon, so there is no telling if this Chakra Cannon is not capable of destroying other Shinobi Villages.
And even Kuroto is not sure whether he would have been able to save the village in such a situation. Because the cannon could reduce Konoha to dust in less than a few seconds.
Tsukihi asked now, "And what is the source of fuel you planned to use?"
Shinno said, "Captured shinobi, civilians, as well as Moryo, I planned to extract chakra from them."
Shisui and Itachi sighed, "This guy is too evil, even dares to involve unrelated civilians."
While Tsukihi nodded slightly, she has already expected Moryo to be the source, although, civilians and captured Shinobi were a surprise, it's not so strange considering those prison cages and the fact that Fuinjutsu is running throughout the fortress.
Anyway, this only makes things easier for her. Initially, she was considering how to resolve Moryo.
Since Moryo is the other half of Miko, so as long as Miko is alive, Moryo will also not disappear. Even if killed he would not cease to exist.
For that reason, he can only be sealed, not killed.
However, if he has to be sealed then instead of sealing him at the sealing shrine in the Land of Demons or somewhere unsafe, it is better to seal him here at Ancor Vantian. This way he will also be useful in running Ancor Vantian.
It can be said that this idea kills two birds with one stone!
Just when Tsukihi finalized the plans, Shisui asked her, "Now what to do with Shinno? If he is handed over to the village, then I am worried then intelligence on Amatsukami will be extracted out during the torture process, did Kuroto-San give you any order regarding this?"
Shinno has witnessed all three Susanoo, he also knows that Uchiha Tsukihi is not dead, Uchiha Shisui is also a member of Amatsukami and there is also a third Ho Musubi, so he cannot be handed over to the village.
Tsukihi nodded and said, "That's why I am going to seal him here inside the power room. To be exact, I will extract Moryo out of Shinno, then he will be killed and Moryo will be sealed here… this way Ancor Vantian will also become functioning…"
