Chapter 177
"Because you are still useful," the Akito replied calmly.
Kakashi cannot die.
They must not die, at least not for now.
He was one of Naruto Uzumaki's mentors on his path to growth.
It is because of him that the Naruto storyline is complete.
The one he wanted to defeat was Naruto Uzumaki, the Jonin who had Kakashi Jonin his mentor.
So... he won't die for now.
Only when Naruto Uzumaki has fully matured will it be no big deal to kill Kakashi casually.
Kakashi, of course, wouldn't understand.
The Akito had already arranged everything 16-17 years from now.
"Um?"
The next second, Akito raised his head and looked at the distant sky.
It was as if they sensed something.
I sensed... my master's Chakra.
A buzzing sound echoed through the sky.
The giant flying object that rose from the distant land and flew towards this direction was the wreckage of the "Sky Fortress Ancor Vantian" from back then.
These years.
Shinnō and the ninjas of Soragakure silently repaired the remaining wreckage of the giant fortress.
Finally, it has been brought back to light today.
The flying fortress was seen approaching.
The ninjas of the Land of Sky cheered with joy.
Ancor Vantian is the ace of the Land of Sky.
It also symbolizes the true power of the Land of Sky.
Once the main gun fires, even a small mountain can be flattened in an instant.
One shot is enough to wipe out a small ninja village.
Bang!
A shockwave exploded beneath my feet.
The Akito instantly soared into the sky and shot off into the distance.
"Etc!!"
Kakashi reached out, but the figure completely ignored him.
He didn't even have time to ask where Lin's coffin was before he dashed off into the distance...
The reason why the Akito left their original location.
This is naturally also because the risks were perceived.
Buzz!!!
Golden light gathered in front of the Ancor Vantian Fortress.
Shine...
Buzz!!!!
The Cursed Seal trembled, and the spell spread.
The violent, golden fluctuations resembled those of an electrical appliance being punctured by an electric current.
The platinum light danced wildly and erratically in the air.
Then--
Emission!
Boom!!!
A beam of light, over 6 meters in diameter, spanned several kilometers.
It flew towards Akito at 10 times the initial speed, and then accelerated to 25 times the speed of sound in an instant.
That is, an astonishing rate of fire of over 8.5 kilometers per second.
It was clear that this cannon shot was directly aimed at the Akito.
The kind-faced master Shinnō took good care of his disciple at this moment.
This incredibly fast launch speed left a golden streak across the sky.
With such a terrifying rate of fire, the Akito naturally didn't have time to completely dodge before being completely engulfed.
"..."
Shikaku Nara and the others were dumbfounded, speechless.
Even more frightening is...
The unstoppable beam of light first engulfed Amakawa Akito, then shattered a mountain peak, before crossing the sea and continuing its spread...
Everyone stared in disbelief at this utterly outrageous scene.
Perhaps its absolute destructive power is not as great as that of a "medium-sized Tailed Beast Bomb".
However, its rate of fire and attack range are now comparable to the former.
"So... Amakawa Akito didn't form an alliance with the Land of Sky?!"
Hizashi Hyuga, realizing the situation, immediately understood the problem.
Otherwise, why would we fire on him?
Besides...
Is Amakawa Akito alive or dead?
As the beam of light dissipated, everything returned to calm...
In the air.
The Akito held his arms in front of him to block.
He slowly lowered his hands, his entire body radiating an aura of charred blackness.
At this point, the lips had disappeared, and the skin and muscles had curled up somewhat.
It took the hit head-on.
They still suffered some harm, more or less.
And then, the aura of Dark Chakra rose.
The injuries healed quickly, and soon his cheeks and skin returned to normal.
Bang!
The air exploded with a deafening roar Akito broke through three times the speed of sound, flying at full speed towards the aerial fortress...
108. Master and disciple, is that all?
Boom!
The Akito paused for a moment in mid-air.
Then, it landed on Ancor Vantian's platform.
Only upon close inspection can one truly understand how long Ancor Vantian is.
It's practically an airborne aircraft carrier.
This enormous flying object was merely a fragment of the complete "Ancor Vantian" from the time of Land of Sky.
The true fortress, when fully formed, was so vast that it blotted out the sky and stretched for several kilometers.
"Lord Akito... this way please..."
The Land of Sky ninjas had been waiting for a long time.
They all made way.
Clearly, they had already heard Shinnō's previous instructions.
The Soragakure in the fortress naturally witnessed Akito taking the hit of "Ancor Vantian Cannon" head-on without any injury.
The reverence in one's heart thus reached its extreme.
Having strength earns you respect; this principle applies to many situations.
They were greeted by the Soragakure.
The Akito entered the fortress.
Walk through the corridor.
Finally... we arrived at the main control room.
The circular hall was exceptionally spacious.
The area around the perimeter is littered with numerous ruins and broken stones, remnants of the Second Shinobi World War.
Shinnō sat on the throne.
He looked at his disciple with a calm and composed expression.
The other Soragakure retreated.
In the hall... only the master and his apprentice remained.
"Well done, Akito..."
Shinnō chuckled softly, his expression kind and benevolent.
"You seem to have gotten even stronger in just over ten days..."
Judging from his tone, it was the voice of an excellent master praising his disciple.
However, the malicious intent hidden within this scheme was perfectly clear to the Ming Akito who had lived with it for many years.
"Well... how should we explain the current situation?"
Shinnō shrugged.
"This fortress that flies in the sky is called Ancor Vantian. Although it looks like a ruin, Land of Sky over decades. In other words... it means 'Royal Capital Fortress'."
As he spoke, Shinnō stood up, a shadow falling around the sockets of his eyes.
It's like he's turned evil.
"Thanks to you, I was able to obtain the Zero-Tails Scroll so quickly, and also complete my deal with Orochimaru..."
It's obvious.
Shinnō has already obtained the "Eight Gates Released Formation" scroll.
It uses "Dark Chakra" + "Body Activation Technique" + "Dark Chakra: Zero-Tails Resurrection Technique" + "Eight Gates Released Formation".
The four factors combined.
That is the path that Shinnō walked.
This is also why he was so eager to "revive" the Land of Sky.
"When darkness arises in a person's heart, let Zero-Tails possess them, causing the Dark Chakra generated from that darkness to materialize..."
"Humans can despair. Whether it's sadness or anger, it generates Dark Chakra... These are things I taught you in the past..."
"Master and disciple...? What a boring relationship, you think so too, don't you...?"
When Shinnō is talking trash to the villain.
