Chapter 143
The border between the Land of Rain and the Land of Grass.
The Ryugakure squad, having crossed the Land of Grass and rushed to the Land of Rain, launched yet another harassment of the Land of Land of Rain's border as the sun rose.
"Ahhhh!"
With a roar.
Pakura suddenly hurled the fireball in her hand.
Haha, are you still hungry?
A mocking voice echoed from the sky.
A girl from Ryugakure, with transparent, insect-like wings on her back, flew at high speed, making all sorts of unbelievable evasive maneuvers.
This allowed them to easily evade Pakura's attack.
"Come down here if you dare!!"
Pakura called out to her.
Although he could fly, the efficiency of the Scorch Release technique was rather underwhelming.
In addition, the Seven-Tails Jinchūriki is slippery, and the Seven-Tails not only possesses the only flight ability among the Nine Tailed Beasts.
Furthermore, its flight speed is maxed out, giving it absolute air superiority, making it very difficult to deal with.
Yesterday evening.
Pakura and his opponent engaged in close combat.
After some probing, several corpses were left behind.
Then began a highly mobile battle where you went back and forth.
Pakura couldn't hit the flying Seven-Tails Jinchūriki.
The latter's attack methods were also unlikely to have a substantial impact on Pakura.
Unless...
Cover your body with the Tailed Beast Cloak and enter the Tailed Beast Cloak state, or even Partial Tailed Beast Transformation state.
However... for Non-Perfect Jinchuriki, doing so would be a strengthening effect that also brings negative consequences.
"Come up here if you dare!" shouted the Seven-Tails Jinchūriki.
"Ughhhhh! I'm so angry...!"
Pakura was consumed by impotent rage.
They could only continue shouting from afar.
Unfortunately, the ninjas of Ryugakure were slippery; since last night, they had learned their lesson and were secretly hiding in the back.
After all, that's Pakura with the Scorch Release.
They didn't want to go up there and be roasted into dried meat.
And just then...
A rumbling sound rose in the distance.
Pakura whirled around, stared for a moment, then turned back to the Seven-Tails Jinchūriki and shouted, "Haha, you're dead!!!"
Pakura, his face contorted with rage, knew.
That man... he's here.
Although I'm very unhappy.
However, as soon as he makes a move, the Seven-Tails Jinchūriki will definitely be forced to unleash his Tailed Beast Cloak, or even Partial Tailed Beast Transformation state!
"Ha?"
The girl who Seven-Tails Jinchūriki tilted her head, completely unaware that there was anything wrong with it.
The next moment, she suddenly thought of something.
"Could it be...?"
His expression changed instantly; he immediately realized that the Amakawa Akito from the intelligence report had arrived!
A few seconds later...
Bang!!
Once again, a muffled thunderclap echoed through the sky.
Amakawa Akito approached at 1.7 times the speed of sound.
Everyone's pupils contracted, their faces filled with disbelief.
Pakura, on the other hand, looked on with satisfaction, eagerly anticipating seeing these Ryugakure fellows torn to shreds.
But in the very next second...
Bang!!
Amakawa Akito flew over the heads of two groups of people, then, without looking back, shattered the air and continued flying into the distance...
Pakura: "..."
The Seven-Tails Jinchūriki: "..."
So...
The girl Seven-Tails Jinchūriki swallowed hard.
"He... seems to have something urgent to attend to?"
78. Address the root cause: launch an attack on the Daming Prefecture.
"I'll deal with you when I get back!"
In the sky, Akito turned around and glanced at the seemingly naive and even somewhat airheaded Seven-Tails Jinchūriki.
It then continued flying over the area.
There are important matters to attend to before dealing with the Seven-Tails Jinchūriki.
At the meeting yesterday morning.
The Akito asked Asuka and the others that question: even if they repelled Ryugakure's attack, the battle would still turn into an endless, back-and-forth war of attrition.
So...
To solve the problem once and for all.
The Akito decided to find the source and make a definitive judgment!
Half an hour later...
The Akito had already traversed the entire Land of Grass and passed through half of the Land of Ryu.
A journey that would take an ordinary ninja two days to complete.
The Akito finished it in 30 minutes.
I glanced at the earth.
A bustling metropolis was the destination of the Akito's journey.
The pedestrians on the streets and the dignitaries in the magnificent palace were unaware of the impending danger...
Bang!
I've stomped the air again.
Everyone stopped and looked up at the sky.
The figure of the Akito flew past at high speed.
Then, it fell from the sky and crashed to the ground.
He walked up to the tailor shop, casually picked up a black trench coat, and replaced his tattered clothes.
Put the money down.
The Akito vanished in an instant, rushing towards the magnificent palace of "Land of Ryu - Daming Prefecture"...
Inside Daming Mansion.
The lords and high-ranking officials of the Land of Ryu sat among them.
A few days ago.
The Ryugakure Village received a message from Konoha and Sunagakure.
They requested that the Ryugakure send ninjas to harass the borders of the Land of Rain.
It also includes all the information about the Land of Rain has been collected so far.
At the same time, the Daimyo of the Land of Ryu received dual communications from the Daimyo of the Land of Wind and the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, demanding his official endorsement and approval for Ryugakure's military intervention.
Last night, the battle report came back.
A new battle began early this morning.
The Land of Ryu was able to stand firm through the three Shinobi World Wars shows that the successive Daimyo of the Land of Ryu must have been quite capable.
The current Daimyo of the Land of Ryu is very concerned about the international situation and various domestic developments.
Therefore... we have been closely monitoring the situation regarding Ryugakure's invasion of the border of the Land of Rain.
In the main hall today.
The group gathered together to discuss the pros and cons of the invasion.
The next second.
A whooshing sound came from afar.
A figure swept past the heavy guards and appeared in the main hall in the blink of an eye.
"Who goes there?!"
"Stop!"
The guards were startled and immediately stepped forward.
In the eyes of the Akito, these guards were no different from paper figures.
He gazed at the crowd and slowly asked, "Is this the Daimyo of the Land of Ryu?"
"Nonsense!"
The guard commander coldly shouted.
"Who are you? Why do you dare to trespass into Daming Prefecture?!"
In the past, there were peaceful days and all sorts of rules.
This ensured that they felt no fear even when Akito broke in.
Because all ninjas adhere to the principle of not harming daimyo or high-ranking officials.
"..."
The Akito nodded, confirming that he had come to the right place.
Bang!!
He casually took a step.
A fierce shockwave erupted with itself as the radius.
All the guards were immediately thrown into chaos.
The sonic boom that broke the speed of sound left them utterly horrified.
"I am from the Land of Rain... Amakawa Akito, I've come for revenge! In ten minutes, I will destroy this place. If you don't want to die, get out of here!"
