Chapter 293
"One minute?!"
"Keep dreaming, the Land of Rain is so far away..."
I heard a sound coming from the crowd.
Itachi remained silent, but a storm was brewing within him.
Because... he couldn't help but recall the night Shisui died.
Amakawa Akito... it seems he also arrived from Amegakure in a very short time.
"He... is coming..."
Meanwhile, Kabuto and Kimimaro in the crowd exchanged a glance, seeing the suspicion in each other's eyes.
Amidst the clamor of the crowd.
A deafening rumble echoed from the distant sky.
It sounded like the rumble of thunder in Natsuhi.
"Ha! He's here!" Pakura put one hand on his hip, stood up abruptly, and prepared to enjoy the view.
"So fast?! It really wasn't even a minute!"
Ringo Ameyuri turned around, shaded her eyes with her hand, and looked up at the distant sky.
The land of Land of Rice Fields is flat with few mountains, so it is easy to see the end of the field at a glance.
"They're here!"
Juzo Biwa and the others stared wide-eyed.
A flash of platinum light disappeared in an instant.
The image of Ancor Vantian's main gun was still etched on everyone's retinas.
The Akito had already arrived above everyone's heads!
Boom!
Push it up with all your might.
The main gun exploded in the sky.
The deafening roar made everyone's hearts skip a beat.
Then.
They then saw a figure plummeting rapidly through the air amidst the exploding fireworks.
Boom!
The Ming Akito fell to the ground like a shooting star, crashing heavily to the earth.
His mere appearance stunned everyone.
He watched as the Akito, dressed in black, slowly rose to his feet.
The ninjas from the Land of Rice Fields, along with the ninjas from the Five Great Nations and other countries mixed in with the group, immediately turned extremely grim.
Because they never even considered it.
There's also this kind of entrance.
The main gun has a firing rate of 25 times the speed of sound per second.
Regardless of whether they could distinguish that it was the main cannon and not Akito technique.
None of this diminishes their awareness of the fear they feel at this scene!
"Leave the rest to me."
Akito turned to Pakura and the others and said something.
Then.
He turned his head and scanned the 400-strong crowd.
One glance was enough to plunge everyone into an ice cave.
Almost everyone saw a vision of their own death.
"How terrifying... the murderous aura!"
Ying's body began to tremble, but she quickly calmed herself down.
"You're the main Amakawa Akito?"
"Laugh..."
Looking at the 10-year-old girl, Akito couldn't help but laugh.
"Who are you..."
"I am Tu... I am Ying!!" Ying shouted loudly, glaring fiercely, her body trembling slightly, but she was not intimidated at all.
"Hmm, Ying..." Akito looked her over, a smile involuntarily creeping onto his lips.
Juzo Biwa and the others looked shocked. "Lord... he smiled?"
You should know that adults rarely laugh.
Especially when facing the enemy.
Could it be... that this little girl in front of me also has some special identity?
"Why are you laughing?!"
Under the scrutiny of the Akito, Ying couldn't help but get goosebumps.
"Amakawa Akito, you and your men have trespassed into our Land of Rice Fields! I now order you to leave this place immediately! Do you hear me?!"
Chapter 219. Don't let her go, she's still just a child.
Your statement contains some inconsistencies.
The Akito spoke gently, like elders treating younger people.
Ying: "Hmm?"
"I have a question for you... Do you have any people or things that are important to you?" the Akito asked.
"Mother... Grandpa Donbei ...and...the whole clan..."
Ying replied.
She then immediately fell silent.
Because I felt that Akito might be trying to get information out of him.
"That's right."
The Akito nodded.
"For me, there are also important people or things. Conversely, your mother and your clan must love you very much."
"Of course!" Ying raised her head and chest.
The Akito, "So, if someone harmed your mother, or even took her life, wouldn't you be angry?"
Of course!
Ying said firmly.
Akito: "That's right. So... the people of Otogakure intended to take my life, and they did indeed carry out that attack. I only escaped death because I was on guard. So... my companions and I will go to Otogakure to demand an explanation. Is that a problem?"
"Huh?!"
Ying never expected Akito to say such a thing.
Putting herself in his shoes, she felt... there seemed to be some truth to it.
"So, you're completely wrong to say that our invasion of the Land of Rice Fields was wrong. It was clearly the Otogakure that was at fault first. We were just seeking revenge and demanding an explanation."
The Akito pointed out Ying's mistake.
"Then, you can't lay a hand on innocent people!"
Ying hesitated before speaking.
I can understand your revenge against the Otogakure.
But it would be clearly wrong to harm other ordinary people and ninjas in the Land of Rice Fields.
"Let's put that aside for now... We didn't lay a hand on any innocent people. Let's just talk about the nature of 'Otogakure.' At your age, you're not even 10 years old, so you probably wouldn't understand something too complicated. Let's just explain it simply..."
Akito stared at Ying, preparing to begin beating the child.
"The Otogakure is a violent institution officially backed by the Daimyo of the Land of Rice Fields. Every move it makes has international repercussions. The assassination of the leader of a neighboring village by Otogakure ninjas is, in essence, a provocation by the Land of Rice Fields against the authority of the Land of Rain and a declaration of war against the Amegakure, which is the beginning of war..."
The Akito explained.
"This is a war at the national level. It means two countries are at war. How can you, who started this war, say you're uninvolved, have no connection, and claim to be innocent?"
"This land beneath your feet is the land of the Land of Rice Fields. The ninja villages of the Land of Rice Fields protect the Land of Rice Fields and plunder resources for your country."
"You people enjoyed the benefits of violence, including money and resources. As comrades of the invaders, you enjoyed everything. So, when others come for revenge, what right do you, who have enjoyed everything, have to say... that none of this has anything to do with us, that we are innocent?"
"This... this..."
Ying, being young and inexperienced, had never heard of such things before.
She doesn't understand.
It's even more impossible to tell the difference.
That cannot be refuted.
The intellectual challenge from an adult left her speechless, unable to utter a single word.
Looking at the child, who seemed completely dazed and distraught.
The Akito thought... it was especially fun.
"You have a strong sense of justice, which reminds me of some things from the past..."
The Akito's lips curled into a smile.
"However... a sense of justice that cannot distinguish right from wrong is easily exploited by those with ulterior motives, who use you as a pawn. The bad guys fabricate reasons, you believe them, and then they turn their guns on the good guys, ultimately resulting in mutual destruction, or even death. So... who really benefits?"
"..."
Ying's eyelids drooped, and she lost all fighting spirit, having lost her will to fight because of Akito's words.
And that is precisely what demonstrates her innocence and kindness.
Because if they're bad guys, they won't reason with you; they'll just start fighting.
He hesitated upon seeing Ying.
Dou frowned, then immediately began coughing. "Cough cough cough..."
He coughed up several more mouthfuls of blood.
He looked like he was about to die.
"Ying... don't be deceived by his lies. I... I would rather give my life than see you lied to by others...!"
After saying that...
He was panting even harder.
And this act of recklessness of his...
Akito not only did not stop her, but calmly continued to watch Ying.
To get revenge on Kabuto, all he needs to do is go back and use his foster Yakushi Nonō, more.
This is called "the mother paying for the child's debt".
"Senior Kabuto..."
Ying turned her head and looked at Dou's weak and lifeless appearance, which strengthened her resolve once again.
"Senior Kabuto is about to die, and you've ruined him like this, yet you still say you haven't harmed any innocent people..."
