Chapter 283
"We're not discussing the Yagura issue right now. We're talking about the ninja from Kirigakure who attacked our country and killed many of our people. I'm demanding compensation, or else we'll fight. Understand, everyone?"
The Akito said it casually.
The Suiren beside her trembled, as if recalling the time when the Akito slaughtered dozens of Kirigakure Ninja.
The scene where the Suikazan Fuguki was hacked to death, piece by piece.
"Arrogant!!"
At this moment, someone else slammed their fist on the table and stood up.
"Akito Excellency, do you truly wish to wage war against us?!"
The policy of sealing off Kirigakure.
This prevents outsiders from understanding them.
Similarly, one cannot learn much about the outside world from within the Bloody Mist.
They had no idea what the Land of Rain was like now.
Just how powerful were the Akito the Ming Dynasty?
"Looks like he's courting death..." The Hozuki Clan ninja laughed in fury.
Those who made these remarks were basically enemies of the Akito.
After all, Akito had killed quite a few Kirigakure Ninja on his two previous trips.
"Amakawa Akito, your strength is indeed formidable, but dealing with so many of us seems unlikely. Moreover, once the war begins, our entire village will annihilate your Land of Rain!"
Stop talking... stop talking...
Mei Terumi to the side, had a stiff, forced smile.
She gave the others a look, signaling them to stop talking.
But...
Because Mei Terumi had just taken office, she didn't yet have that much prestige.
Therefore, it's quite normal for subordinates to be disobedient.
The Akito did not speak, but instead demonstrated everything through their actions.
His body swayed.
The image remains in the retina.
In this fast-paced world, Akito had already left his seat.
Time seemed to stand still.
With a speed boost of 4 times the speed of sound.
The Akito unleashed an attack at seven times the speed of sound.
He slapped each of the dissenters on the head.
Less than a tenth of a second.
The Akito returned to their original positions.
Pfft! Crack! Boom!!!
Explosions, fractures, and spurting blood filled the air.
Akito straightened his collar.
Five high-ranking officials have already died in the meeting room.
Some of them are clan leaders.
Some are department heads.
Some of them were individuals with distinguished military achievements.
But in less than a second, they... were all dead, their bodies torn to pieces.
Who's in favor? Who's opposed?
No one dared to refute Akito's words this time.
These methods are even more brutal than those used during the reign of the fourth Yagura.
They remained silent.
"Ruling a country is difficult. If you rashly oppress others, there will be many opponents, and the flames of resistance will continue to rise... just like during Yagura's rule."
The Akito took out a tissue and wiped his hands.
"That's why I didn't make you submit immediately. My conquest of the ninja world is planned; you can't rush things. But it will eventually be Kirigakure's turn."
The Akito remained calm.
At this point, no one took the Akito's words as a joke anymore.
"Therefore, what I need to resolve today is the issue of compensation, as well as preliminary diplomatic issues between the two countries."
"Akito Excellency, I have always agreed."
Mei Terumi smiled.
Amakawa Akito won't make a move against Kirigakure anytime soon.
There's still a chance and time, isn't there?
"We will compensate you 1 billion yuan. Do you have any other demands?"
209. A confidante Mei Terumi?
Mei Terumi had a good attitude and was always smiling.
Actually, I might be really panicking inside.
Because she discovered... she was no match for Amakawa Akito.
If the room is sealed off, and then Lava Release is used, there might be a chance.
However, with the power of Amakawa Akito, apart from the "barrier," nothing else could possibly trap him.
"Well, your village is facing some difficulties too. I'll give you one month to raise 1 billion yuan. Is that alright?"
Mei Terumi: "Of course, no problem..."
"Okay, next topic. We can start by signing a 'ceasefire agreement'."
The Akito proposed a ceasefire.
Let the intelligence circulate for a while.
"After a year, we will sign an alliance agreement, just like the one between the 'Land of Demons' and the 'Land of Snow'."
In short.
One year later, the "Land of Water" will become a vassal state of Amegakure.
The expressions on everyone's faces turned grim once again.
Mei Terumi immediately asked, "Akito, do you have any development plans or anything like that...?"
We need to get Kirigakure to join the Amegakure alliance.
There must be some benefit, at least.
Otherwise, people certainly wouldn't agree.
There are two points in this regard.
The Akito nodded and readily agreed.
"One option is for me to describe it verbally. The second option is for Mei Terumi to personally visit my Land of Rain, and then go to the Land of Demons and the Land of Snow to investigate the local people's lives... I believe that on-site visits are more effective than anything else."
"..."
Mei Terumi nodded slightly, seemingly unafraid of being challenged by Akito.
Because if he wanted to do that, he would have done it already.
Just like the six unfortunate men who were killed on the spot.
For the ninjas from the Bloody Mist, who were used to seeing corpses, six dead bodies in the meeting room were really no big deal.
"Now, let me tell you the oral part."
Akito looked at Mei Terumi.
"Mei Terumi, what do you consider to be the biggest problem in the ninja world? What is it that you are dissatisfied with?"
"..."
Mei Terumi blinked, lost in thought.
"I grew up in a very strict environment... I went through a lot of terrible things. Actually, I didn't have much free time to think about what was happening outside. What I wanted to change was our village..."
"I know."
The Akito nodded.
"You were in the same class as Kakashi Hatake with his Sharingan, both of you were promising young men. However, due to your environment, you had to keep a low profile throughout your childhood..."
Why wasn't Mei Terumi as famous as Kakashi when they were young?
"Because back then, the Bloody Mist began persecuting clans with Kekkei Genkai, such as... the 'Snow Clan'."
Before Obito Uchiha the battlefield at the age of 13, the Snow Clan... also known as the "White" clan, had already ceased to exist.
Meanwhile, Obito Uchiha was trapped under the rock.
The little baby, Bai, has already been born.
Therefore, many fan fictions believe that Obito manipulated all the persecution, but this is incorrect.
In addition...
Obito Uchiha witnessed Kakashi stabbing Rin Nohara to death, the moment he awakened his Sharingan.
In the manga, the Kirigakure Ninja shouts, "Don't underestimate the Bloody Mist!"
In other words...
The Bloody Mist begins from the time of the Third Mizukage.
"I never imagined... that Your Akito Mingren even knew those secrets..."
Mei Terumi's smile stiffened slightly.
They were surprised by the intelligence gathering of the Akito.
Akito: "Fearing the same persecution, you began to bide your time and conceal your Kekkei Genkai. All for the sake of one day overthrowing this reign of terror."
And later.
With Yagura taking over, there was hope.
But then Obito Uchiha intervened, and all hope vanished.
The Bloody Mist continued to linger.
Only now Mei Terumi escaped the Kirigakure, the "persecution of the Kekkei Genkai."
"Therefore, what you hate and fear most is the unequal treatment caused by differences in class, social status, and identity..."
The Akito pointed it out in one breath.
The reason why Mei Terumi wanted to overthrow the Bloody Mist.
"Therefore, you, who know these things best, will understand what I need to do."
"So... what do you intend to do, Akito -sama?" Mei Terumi asked thoughtfully.
"Many people believe I possess Kekkei Genkai or Kekkei Tōta, but I'm just an ordinary person. Of course, you wouldn't believe me if I said that, because no one thinks an ordinary person could become this strong... Let's leave the matter of my power aside for now..."
The Akito waved his hand.
"The rules outside are different from those in Kirigakure. Kirigakure doesn't care whether you're a member of a clan with Kekkei Genkai; they'll persecute you if they want. But the outside world is a world where bloodline is everything."
