Chapter 172

At this point, Hiruzen Sarutobi had no choice but to compromise with Danzo.

Otherwise, a new round of Hokage elections will inevitably have to begin again.

And by then...

I'm afraid... my disciple Orochimaru, who harbors evil thoughts, will be brought to the forefront.

The village will be utterly destroyed.

Therefore, faced with Danzo's proposal, Hiruzen Sarutobi could only silently agree.

"Furthermore, based on the Fourth Hokage's last words and Kurenai Yuhi's account, there is reason to believe that Amakawa Akito of Amegakure was involved in last night's Nine-Tails' Attack."

Danzo produced a document.

It was after Kurenai Yuhi woke up that she recounted what she had seen and heard at the cemetery.

Before his sacrifice, Minato Namikaze also mentioned Amakawa Akito.

Kushina had her Nine-Tails extracted, was captured and will inevitably die; we can ignore that for now.

The real problem lies in the appearance of Amakawa Akito himself.

Let's assume the Nine-Tails was brought by the Uchiha.

This means that the Uchiha Clan and Amakawa Akito were in cahoots.

"But, Ryūka Uchiha..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi mentioned the deceased Ryūka Uchiha.

They were killed by Amakawa Akito.

"It might be a ruse. And who knows what kind of agreement the Uchiha and Amakawa Akito will reach later..."

Danzo replied immediately.

"Perhaps they colluded with outsiders, which triggered the Nine-Tails' Attack?"

Eloquent and persuasive.

Faced with his old classmate who had fully revealed the dark side of Konoha, Hiruzen Sarutobi speechless by his sinister and ruthless demeanor.

"Rin Nohara's coffin has disappeared," Utatane Koharu mentioned, holding the intelligence report in her hand.

"This must be a revenge act by Amakawa Akito," Mitokado Homura said, frowning.

This matter.

They assumed it was simply a case of revenge.

After all, Rin Nohara was Minato Namikaze's disciple.

Therefore, they didn't dwell on this matter too much.

It's just that Amakawa Akito has no bottom line.

"However, Kakashi might be the next one to face retaliation..."

Mitokado Homura guessed.

Utatane Koharu: "Isn't he in the Anbu? He can hide his identity, so it should be fine..."

After the meeting.

Hiruzen Sarutobi sat in the conference room, sighing repeatedly.

It took a long time before they left.

When he encountered his direct Anbu in the hallway outside, he suddenly remembered something. "Where's Orochimaru?"

Where was Orochimaru during last night's Nine-Tails' Attack?

103. The Power of the Akito

One week later...

Black Prison, Training Grounds.

A rumbling sound came from above from time to time.

That was Guren and Asuka using Earth Release Ninjutsu to continuously transform this area.

The residential area of Akito was forcibly transformed into a square area with clearly defined fan-shaped sections.

It seemed... to be waiting to connect with something.

Meanwhile, in the training facility of the Black Prison.

The Akito Dynasty entrusted a piece of iron to him.

The one-cubic-meter iron block was forged by the blacksmith of Amegakure.

This iron block weighs approximately 8 tons.

The casting process doesn't involve much technical skill; the main effort required was simply to create the mold a few days ago.

The Akito gently moved his palm.

The 8-ton iron block was slowly lifted up as if it were a toy.

"Too light."

The Akito tossed it away casually.

The huge iron block crashed to the ground with a loud thud.

After a week of practice.

Akito fully adapted to the power of Gundam[47].

Such a heavy iron block can be easily supported.

Then, the Akito clenched his fist and swung it out.

With a loud bang, the iron block flew out and slammed hard against the wall.

The "Six-Seal Barrier" trembled and hummed.

Looking at the iron block again, it had been dented several tens of centimeters deep by the punch from the Akito.

At this moment, the Akito's punch was equivalent to the power of a regular tank's main cannon.

Although it's still some distance from the firepower of the king of ground tanks.

But it is powerful enough to be called so.

The power of 47 indicates that Akito can throw 470 punches per second.

The punching speed reaches 1598 meters per second.

Exceeding Mach 4, heading towards Mach 5.

The immense power brought with it a vast amount of Chakra.

At this point, the Akito were already able to perform a certain technique that had not yet taken shape before, and they were already quite proficient at it.

The Akito's right hand was loosely clenched with his five fingers.

Dark red Chakra rapidly gathered in his hand.

The raging power was compressed and forcibly confined within the small, dark red sphere.

Meanwhile, asteroid belt-like rings are rotating at high speed around the dark red sphere.

This move.

It's called "Activation Fist".

It is a physical force created by mixing Dark Chakra with Dark Chakra; the combination of the two forms this Nintaijutsu destruction technique.

Boom!

The next second.

Akito's figure vanished, and when he reappeared, he had already pressed the Activation Fist onto the cube of iron with a claw.

A deafening roar.

The 8-ton iron block instantly turned to ashes, into countless iron filings, fragments, and dust.

In terms of learning difficulty.

The power of the Activation Fist is equivalent to "Level B".

It's not as sophisticated or varied as the Rasengan.

It simply and brutally concentrates immense power and Chakra into a single point.

However.

That is why the Akito was very satisfied.

Things that need to be popularized don't need to be too profound or difficult, otherwise they will become esoteric and unpopular.

In this world, most ninjas cannot become Jonin because resources are monopolized.

Examples include A-rank techniques like Rasengan and Chidori.

Of the 80,000- Allied Shinobi Forces, only Crown Prince Naruto and a few Sasuke inherited the legacy.

Resource monopoly is one of the key factors preventing most people from becoming powerful.

This is also why the Akito wanted to overthrow the old system based on bloodline.

A B-level Activation Fist can basically reach the peak of talent for most ordinary people.

Once this technique becomes widespread, everyone can use it.

Seeing the effect he had achieved, Akito nodded in satisfaction.

Then.

The Akito then brought over a brand new 1-cubic-meter iron block.

Hands loosely clenched.

A dark aura of Chakra spread between his palms.

Immediately.

The Akito lifted the cube from both sides with his hands, making it look like he was holding a box.

"Drink!!!"

Dark Chakra surged.

A violent force began to squeeze the blocks.

This move, too, has no profound secrets.

There are no advanced techniques involved.

It involves releasing Chakra with both hands to the left and right, then forcefully squeezing the cube.

It's like kneading and squeezing a freshly baked loaf of bread until it's puffed up and turned into dough.

Under the influence of the force of [47].

The iron block emitted a sickening, grating squeaking sound.

With the force of the Akito, it gradually deformed and shrank, its volume being squeezed down by one-third.

The continuous improvement of one's own strength.

Ordinary weapons break at the slightest touch, like brittle ice.

Therefore, normal weapons are no longer suitable as primary weapons.

The Akito also looked down on special creations like the Seven Swords of the Kirigakure.

The Akito demanded mass production.

The materials are common, widely used, and readily available on the street.
