Chapter 254

Asuka said calmly.

It's also possible... they were spies lured into a trap.

"Giving her a basic-level job and reducing her authority is tantamount to shrinking her sphere of influence. This isn't a big problem; important areas are protected by barriers."

The Asuka thought for a moment.

"Let's get that project started."

She looked at Guren.

Originally, it was planned to be used when the Akito was in power, but now that it's a critical time, we can't worry about that anymore.

The operation of the "Spherical Sensory Barrier" must be put on the agenda immediately.

"Understood." Guren nodded and immediately went to get the documents.

Using Ancor Vantian's power source as a base.

Next, the caster activates the entire sensory barrier.

In this way, the perception barrier will issue a warning if anyone tries to intrude.

Although we have temporarily "lost" the Akito.

But under Asuka's command, orders were thoroughly issued.

Only then did everyone realize...

That delicate little girl from back then has grown into a reliable village leader.

The technique using Dark Chakra deceived the viewer's appearance.

The image of the Asuka remains frozen at around 16 years old.

However, in reality, she was the same age as Akito and was already an adult.

This is precisely why other people's thinking has formed a fixed perception, still holding the illusion that she is the same person she was back then.

Soon, all the project documents were brought in.

One floor of the tower where Hanzō once lived has been converted into a "sensory room".

The Asuka entered the room, inspected it, and nodded after confirming that everything was alright.

After many years of effort.

She not only mastered most of the Sealing Jutsu and barriers she obtained from Uzumaki Kushina.

Furthermore, the preparatory techniques for the perception barrier were inscribed all over the entire Amegakure.

Now is the time to activate the emergency plan.

"Then, let's begin."

Asuka Hand Seals and began to cast Barrier Ninjutsu.

Under Guren's watchful gaze, the spell was cast for a full half hour.

The guiding seals linked the various modules of the entire village together.

Chakra gradually flowed through him.

Just like laser guidance before a missile explodes.

Finally, with the infusion of Ancor Vantian's Chakra, the entire village of Amegakure lit up in an instant.

Countless incantations received the Chakra and began to shine.

The white light lasted for a moment.

The entire Amegakure stopped and stared at this strange sight.

Orochimaru, who had been assigned a place to stay, walked out of his room, looked around, and then subconsciously looked up at the sky.

Buzz...!

A low, humming vibration.

A huge circular barrier appeared out of thin air above Amegakure.

This barrier, like an eggshell, enveloped the entire Amegakure).

Soaring into the sky.

Down to the earth.

From the inside out, a "circle" with a radius of several kilometers thus enveloped the entire Amegakure...

"This is... Spherical Sensory Barrier?!"

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes, and through the shimmering runes, he immediately recognized that this was the same sensory barrier as that of Konoha!

But what's going on?

Why was Amegakure able to design a sensory barrier exactly like Konoha's?!

Could it be...?

"Hehehe..."

Soon, Orochimaru revealed a bewitching smile.

"Really..."

The rumors from back then, that Minato Namikaze's will stated his wife was kidnapped by Amakawa Akito, were not unfounded.

The Konoha High Command simply suppressed the news to prevent the "scandal" from leaking.

It's almost certain that Orochimaru.

The information about Amegakure was obtained by prying it out of Uzumaki Kushina.

"This village... is quite extraordinary."

Orochimaru commented.

"Even without Amakawa Akito, they quickly returned to normal life and activated some emergency plans..."

With this in mind, Orochimaru became even more interested in Amegakure.

He wanted to linger a little longer.

Let's stay here and see what Amegakure can do without Amakawa Akito Amegakure.

Buzz.

The Spherical Sensory Barrier flashed briefly after it was created, then disappeared.

Thus, the transparent, invisible barrier, detectable only by ninjas with the Byakugan, Sharingan Rinnegan, was declared complete.

Perceive the interior.

The Asuka breathed a sigh of relief.

There was no Chakra consumption, since the barrier's main power source was the aerial fortress.

This "wireless transmission" technique was naturally added by people from the Akito.

This is also an advantage unique to Dark Chakra.

A miniature spherical barrier appeared above the barrier's base.

Through visual observation, one can observe the operation of each direction of the barrier, much like examining a globe.

Then, Asuka's gaze shifted downwards.

The black-colored base hints at the aerial fortress's ability to transmit data wirelessly over the air.

And at the bottom of the base.

There is also an unactivated, much larger, superimposed spell that far surpasses the perception barrier...

That technique was originally supposed to be initiated by someone from the Akito.

However... the time is not yet right.

"That's what he said at the time..."

The Asuka murmured.

"I will wait for his return... until then, I will protect the village..."

182. Amakawa Akito... is he still alive?

Amegakure has activated all its emergency plans.

And while making full preparations for war...

Asuka and the others were completely unaware of this.

The people of Konoha were even more nervous than they were.

It's impossible to infiltrate Amegakure, at least not for the time being.

Because... eliminating Fugaku Uchiha and the Uchiha Clan is the primary objective.

The incident of Fugaku Uchiha killing Amakawa Akito.

They also couldn't possibly conduct a large-scale publicity campaign to make it known throughout the entire ninja world.

That would only increase Fugaku Uchiha's prestige and help him become the Fifth Hokage sooner.

This is something Konoha doesn't want to see.

Thus... the news was deliberately suppressed under the manipulation of Konoha High Command.

This matter was only circulating within Konoha.

The ninja villages of Sunagakure, Iwagakure, and others remain completely unaware of this...

The Hokage Building, inside the conference room.

Four high-ranking officials from Konoha gathered together.

In this situation, the circumstances are overwhelmingly unfavorable for the Senju faction.

Although Fugaku Uchiha could not possibly be a match for ten thousand men.

But he still possessed dominant strength in one-on-one combat.

Even Amakawa Akito was instantly killed in a single glance.

Then, I'm afraid... every one of you here would have met the same fate if you faced Fugaku Uchiha alone.

Although Fugaku Uchiha has not yet made an attack.

However, coercing the Konoha High Command to take action against this is an absolute certainty.

Fugaku Uchiha Amakawa Akito demonstrated his strength, especially considering that this act was carried out in public.

It was witnessed by almost every important Jonin.

This gave Fugaku Uchiha a certain degree of say and influence.

A person's confidence will also swell to an extreme!

Next, he just needs to slowly expose the injustices, differential treatment, and persecution at the highest levels.

Public opinion will gradually reverse and move in his favor.

What was originally a clandestine plan to stir up trouble has now been brought into the open and become a calculated scheme.

How should one respond to the Senju style of attack?

"Sarutobi, don't hesitate any longer. Let's launch a night raid on the Uchiha Clan's base."

Utatane Koharu got up and immediately shouted.

They had originally planned to wait for the Uchiha revolution so that their side could raise the banner of justice and quell the rebellion.
