Chapter 202
Kakuzu coughed up blood, his body began to disintegrate, and his feet separated first, being directly shredded into pieces.
With only half his body remaining, he barely managed to escape the attack range by relying on the recoil from releasing Wind Release: Pressure Damage.
With the added cover of Fire Release Ninjutsu, a massive barrage of bullets erupted.
The moment his defenses were breached and he was struck, a sense of fear of death welled up within him.
Without a second thought, he used Earth Release Ninjutsu to burrow underground... and escaped!!!
Kakuzu is obsessed with money, but he is also an extremely rare life.
He would never waste his life in a place like that.
Furthermore, Kakuzu was certain that he would never fight Amakawa Akito again! Because that guy was simply too terrifying!
Hashirama Senju, the God of Shinobi back then, didn't possess such formidable Taijutsu.
The only ones who can be compared to them are the brothers Kinkaku and Ginkaku after they entered their Nine-Tails Transformation form!
Kakuzu's escape.
This marked the complete failure of the Iwagakure strategy.
This also foreshadows the complete loss of face for Iwagakure.
While running away is normal, isn't it a bit too... something to do to just run away so openly in front of everyone?
"..."
The Akito, not out of breath and with his heart not pounding, landed slowly and stared at the crowd.
"Who else?"
The three words uttered immediately stunned the entire audience.
131. Angrily spitting Hiruzen Sarutobi
With absolute violence, they crushed Juzo Biwa and Kakuzu.
The power and prestige displayed by the Akito were awe-inspiring and deterred many from approaching.
It is beyond our ability to defeat.
These four words appeared in everyone's heart.
It's like no one would think, "Let's go and have Taijutsu match with the Third Raikage..."
In the single field of Taijutsu), Akito had already surpassed the vast majority of ninjas.
Since brute force is insufficient, the only option is to outsmart the enemy.
They will use various methods, including Ninjutsu, Genjutsu techniques, secret techniques, and forbidden techniques, to defeat Amakawa Akito.
But...
Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced at the crowd.
Even though he knew that Amakawa Akito was not invincible.
There are many ways to deal with him.
However, the current situation is no longer suitable for large-scale warfare.
The three villages of Konoha, Sunagakure, Iwagakure have developed a rift in their hearts because of the trouble caused by Orochimaru's beloved disciple.
At this point, forcibly forming an alliance would clearly be futile.
Moreover, we need to be wary of backstabbing each other to prevent anyone from stabbing us in the back.
"Well..."
The collapse of the alliance was something Hiruzen Sarutobi never expected.
With the defeat of two powerful opponents by Amakawa Akito.
Today's actions have been a complete failure.
After all, a rope that can't be twisted into a single rope is meaningless.
"Your Excellency, Akito"
Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Akito.
"For the peace of the ninja world..."
"Shut up, you."
Before Hiruzen Sarutobi speaking, he was interrupted by Akito.
In the ninja world, Hiruzen Sarutobi was a highly respected figure.
Even the Third Tsuchikage, Ōnoki, showed him some respect.
In other words.
Akito was the first person to openly criticize Hiruzen Sarutobi.
"If we're talking about peace, you're the last person who has the right to utter a single word!"
The Akito put down his katana, raised his right hand, and pointed at Hiruzen Sarutobi.
"They appear virtuous and righteous on the surface, saying nice things, but in reality, they do all sorts of shady things!"
The Akito's rebuke drew everyone's attention.
They were either angry or indignant because their respected Hokage had been insulted.
Or perhaps they were wondering, thinking that Konoha might have some other dirty secrets.
Regardless, everyone's attention was now focused on Akito.
--Except for the life-or-death struggle between Rasa and Pakura in the distance.
"Konoha invaded other countries during the three world wars, betrayed its allies, seized their resources, and undermined peace..."
Akito criticized the various things Konoha had done under Hiruzen Sarutobi's leadership.
What was said with good intentions was taken seriously by the listener.
The people of Sunagakure couldn't help but look at Hiruzen Sarutobi.
After all, among so-called allies, Sunagakure is always the first to suffer the blunt blow.
"Even internally, out of fear of the Uchiha Clan's power, they fabricated all sorts of reasons to oppress their own people! If you want to find fault, you can always find a pretext!"
Fugaku Uchiha: "..."
Shisui Uchiha: "..."
"You think you can become a moral saint and the light of Konoha by pushing all the blame, scapegoating, and dirty work onto that old bastard Shimura Danzō?!"
Danzo: "..."
"To turn a blind eye to clearly visible evil and wrongdoing, to fail to stop it, and to let it run rampant... For a leader, inaction is also a sin!!"
Just like ancient emperors.
Every mistake is the fault of treacherous officials; my Emperor is wise and infallible!
No matter how many mistakes he made, was the Emperor not wrong?
"Because the two dead men Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju, are weighing on your head, you think you should act in the same way as your ancestors. Faced with darkness and mistakes, all you have to do is say... 'The laws of our ancestors cannot be changed.' The two Hokage of the past did the same thing and thought the same way. Today, at this moment, is just like that moment... and I am innocent?"
"Don't take on a job you're not qualified for. If you don't have the courage to reform, point out the mistakes of two dead men, and make Konoha better, then don't become Hokage!!"
The Akito pointed out the fundamental corruption of Hiruzen Sarutobi and the Konoha military organization.
"So you're the least qualified to talk to me about 'peace.' Get lost! You piece of trash Hiruzen Sarutobi!"
The Akito official publicly rebuked Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Hiruzen Sarutobi had been reprimanded, stared in disbelief and remained speechless.
Because he simply couldn't refute it.
Ōnoki, standing to the side, felt pleased after hearing these words.
Because Hiruzen Sarutobi always held the moral high ground, he was severely humiliated today by someone standing on an even higher level.
He certainly thought it was good.
As for the defeats of Juzo Biwa and Kakuzu...
They were just two mercenaries.
"Hmph, Hokage, finally someone's going to criticize you."
Ōnoki thought he had watched a good show.
In addition, he also learned about Amakawa Akito's crazy ideas from the information.
This ninja world may soon undergo a transformation.
In other words... a global fireworks display.
Ōnoki's favorite thing to watch is fireworks.
When two clams fight, the fisherman profits.
Iwagakure can simply watch the show unfold.
Even if bad luck strikes, it's not Iwagakure's going to be the first to suffer.
Moreover, "ceasefire agreements" can be drafted at any time.
Being opportunistic and calculating is the origin of his nickname "Two Scales".
"Akito Excellency, perhaps we can reach a ceasefire agreement."
Despite losing two of his "subordinates," Ōnoki displayed "magnanimity."
He never forgets to scheme.
After saying that, Ōnoki waved his hand and led his team away.
"Hiruzen!"
Danzo narrowed his eyes as he looked at his old classmate.
He knew that Hiruzen Sarutobi had wavered.
But we must seize this opportunity to eliminate the scourge that is Amakawa Akito.
"Let's join forces..."
"Let's go back to the village first and deal with Orochimaru's matter..."
Hiruzen Sarutobi felt ashamed to face the Tsuchigumo Clan En no Gyōja (Heroes of the Land).
Overwhelmed with shame, he immediately led his team away.
Jiraiya also did not object; he was anxious to know immediately whether his friend Orochimaru had done those things.
"I never imagined... it would end like this."
Black Zetsu and White Zetsu probes.
I gazed at the figures disappearing into the rain.
The three-way attack was countered by Amakawa Akito, who used moral high ground and demonstrated his strength to divide and conquer the enemy, thus directly breaking the alliance.
"Juzo Biwa has been tied up by the ninjas of Amegakure!" White Zetsu shouted immediately through telepathy.
"Hmph, we can replenish as many of those guys as they want... it doesn't matter."
Black Zetsu shook his head.
The Juzo Biwa have neither bloodline nor special techniques.
Even if I get killed, it won't be a big problem.
On the contrary, Kakuzu is the truly useful person.
The fact that he was defeated by Amakawa Akito only proves that this kid has become a major threat.
However, it's still not a big problem.
