Chapter 144
The sonic boom's shockwave swept across the area.
The shout, imbued with Dark Chakra, echoed for miles around.
The expressions of the Daimyo of the Land of Ryu, who was sitting in the main hall, and the other high-ranking officials changed drastically, as if they had eaten excrement.
The infamous reputation of Amakawa Akito.
Of course they had heard of it.
The Daimyo of the Land of Ryu was an elderly man with somewhat gray hair. He frowned and said, "Amakawa Akito... how could he be so bold?!"
One minute later...
Seeing that no one had any intention of running away.
The Akito's right hand blurred slightly.
With a deafening roar, the ceiling exploded, leaving a huge hole in the magnificent hall.
A cold wind howled in.
[28] The power of this made Akito's punching speed reach 1224 meters per second.
That means he can throw 360 punches per second.
Furthermore, it possesses an extremely high speed of 1.7 times the speed of sound under normal atmospheric pressure.
My right arm blurred for a moment, but I actually unleashed 360 Dark Vacuum Palm, which blew the roof off.
Seeing this scene...
Gasps of surprise rang out from the crowd.
Then, accompanied by screams.
People began to panic and flee outside.
Several ninja from Ryugakure Village, who were guarding the daimyo, sensed something was wrong.
Write a message immediately and send it to the Ryugakure Village using Summoning.
But.
At this critical juncture, what good would it do even if Feiquan, the current Ryugakure Village, knew what was happening here?
Even at the speed of a ninja.
It will take several hours to get here.
The Akito are about to destroy this place.
As time passed, the Akito let out a cold laugh.
His arms became afterimages.
Countless Dark Vacuum Palm were unleashed.
The main hall exploded, and the guards' bodies were shattered.
Blood flew everywhere.
At this point, the remaining people began to feel fear.
They screamed and fled.
However, the Akito continued to destroy the palace according to their plan.
The terrifying force shattered the supporting pillars.
This caused the main hall, which had lost its supporting structure, to begin to collapse little by little.
Amidst the swirling dust, tremors and shocks raged.
Countless plumes of dust shot into the sky.
There were screams and cries of terror everywhere.
The once composed daimyo was now deathly pale.
Under the protection of several guards, they quickly retreated outside.
However, just like when Obito Uchiha was crushed under a rock.
Even ninjas would be unable to protect themselves in the face of such horrific destruction.
They risked their lives, not dying on the battlefield, but perishing in the collapse of the main hall.
When everything settles down.
The blood-covered ninjas of Ryugakure Village protected the daimyo, their eyes still etched with fear of Amakawa Akito.
The trembling man, after regaining his senses, immediately searched for his son.
Soon.
He found his son, who had been crushed, under a collapsed pillar.
"Thankfully... it wasn't life-threatening..."
Seeing that her son was only temporarily injured and could be cured with timely treatment, she was relieved.
The Daimyo of the Land of Ryu couldn't help but shout, "Help! Help!!"
The next second.
The voice of the Daimyo of the Land of Ryu came to an abrupt halt.
Accompanied by a soft "pfft" sound.
The heads of the guard ninjas from Ryugakure Village behind him were twisted off.
He sensed the killing intent behind him.
The old and frail Daimyo of the Land of Ryu every hair on his body stand on end.
Trembling, he held his offspring in his arms and slowly turned his head away.
Then I saw...
Amakawa Akito coat, casually tossing away the head of Ryugakure.
"You... you..."
The Daimyo of the Land of Ryu was halting and he couldn't utter a complete sentence.
He remained unfazed even if Mount Tai collapsed before him.
That's simply because they haven't actually witnessed the collapse of Mount Tai.
And now.
The Daimyo of the Land of Ryu had realized what a grave mistake his decision had been.
It lacks its own official endorsement.
Feiquan, the Ryugakure Village, dared not send people to attack the Land of Rain without authorization, thus causing diplomatic difficulties between the two countries.
Amakawa Akito clearly came to find him for this reason.
"According to intelligence, the Daimyo of the Land of Ryu had a son late in life, and this son is his most beloved son. If nothing unexpected happens, his son will inherit his position and become the next daimyo..."
Akito recounted the intelligence that Guren had previously gathered.
All information within the Land of Ryu is stored in his mind.
The economy of Ryugakure Village is entirely supported by the official Land of Ryu.
The relationship between the ninja village and the daimyo is one of mutual assistance and benefit.
Minor skirmishes are not worth notifying the daimyo of.
However, if something could trigger a war between two countries, the ninja village... would inevitably have to inform the daimyo.
He even received the approval of a famous figure.
In other words...
This invasion of the Land of Rain by Ryugakure was officially backed by the Land of Ryu.
Faced with the prospect of instigating a war between two nations, the Daimyo of the Land of Ryu approved of it.
Therefore, the best way to end this pointless war is to go directly to the Daimyo of the Land of Ryu.
As for the ninjas of Ryugakure Village...
They were just being used as pawns.
If you kill a piece but don't eliminate the player, the player will continue to make moves, which is pointless.
Only by eliminating the players at the source can we prevent any pieces from ending up on the board.
The strategist, who is high above the game, could never have imagined that one day the opponent would choose not to play chess, but instead throw a punch and start a real-life duel.
"You love your children as I love my country..."
The Akito slowly raised his arm.
"No... no... Sir, please stop!"
At this moment, the Daimyo of the Land of Ryu no longer possessed his usual arrogant and haughty demeanor.
Now, he is simply a loving father to his child.
"Tell me to stop? Then let me ask you... when you invaded my homeland, did you ask us for permission?"
Suppressing his anger, the Akito growled.
"Your son is a son, but other people's sons aren't?! Those Amegakure ninja who sacrificed their lives, those ordinary people from the Land of Rain who died on the border, didn't they have families, parents, wives, and children?"
The raised fingers slowly came together, forming a hand chop.
Upon seeing this, the Daimyo of the Land of Ryu immediately pleaded in terror, "I will order the village chief of Ryugakure Village, Feiquan, to withdraw his troops immediately... I will compensate your Land of Rain with money..."
Akito simply stared at him coldly. "I will not accept any of your conditions! You have done wrong, and you must pay the price!"
"Father, Father..."
Just then, the young man in the arms of the Daimyo of the Land of Ryu woke up.
He was in a state of confusion and had not yet fully grasped his situation.
"I'm in so much pain... Help, help me--"
The word "I" was left unsaid.
With a hiss, the Akito swung his hand knife.
Within a fraction of a second, the Akito took his life.
Without even glancing at the corpse, the Akito told the Daimyo of the Land of Ryu, "Make Feiquan withdraw his troops, prepare reparations, and never invade our borders again! Otherwise... you'll be next to die!"
Bang!
After saying this, the Akito pushed off with his feet and shot straight into the sky.
After the sonic boom, it flew away at high speed into the distance.
All that remained was the completely destroyed main hall, and... the Daimyo of the Land of Ryu, his face blank, cradling his dead son...
79. Confrontation with the Seven-Tails Jinchūriki
Half an hour later...
The Akito stumbled along the way, crossing the borders of the Land of Ryu and the Land of Grass.
They eventually returned to the vicinity of the battle site between Pakura and the Seven-Tails Jinchūriki.
It takes one hour round trip.
This directly stopped the invasion of the Land of Rain by the Ryugakure Village of the Land of Ryu from the very source.
Threatening a daimyo is indeed a very effective tactic.
Because...
According to the ironclad rules of ninjas in this world, they would never dare to threaten a daimyo.
