Chapter 316
Pakura, who was standing nearby, had a different opinion.
"You think they're just fighting for power? What kind of people do you imagine them to be? Villains? Tyrants? Their heroic spirit isn't something you can just speculate about."
Pakura continued.
"Hanzō wants to challenge Amakawa Akito because after he awakens, his former subordinates and politicians will have different ideas."
"On one hand, Hanzō wanted to see Amakawa Akito's true strength to see if he could entrust Amegakure to him completely."
"On the other hand, it's about extinguishing any bad ideas that might arise from those former subordinates and politicians. It's about making them completely give up on their loyalty and pledge allegiance to the Amakawa Akito."
"Thirdly, it's about giving Amakawa Akito a way out by taking the initiative to challenge him, instead of waiting for him to speak up and then trying to defeat him... This shows that Hanzo of the Salamander Amakawa Akito very good at handling people, understand?... What insight..."
Pakura shook his head repeatedly and scolded him.
Meanwhile, on this side...
Hanzō and Akito stood still, about 5 meters apart.
Form the Seal of Confrontation.
With the weapon acquired.
Hanzō rediscovered his former feeling, or rather... he had never forgotten about fighting.
An astonishing momentum is brewing.
The two gradually got into the zone.
A battle of the highest caliber, symbolizing Amegakure, the Land of Rain, and even most of the ninja world, is about to begin!
240. The Lord of the Ninja World! Akito's True Ambition
Let's begin.
As the Akito finished speaking...
The arm seemed to flicker, move, yet also seem not to move.
With a loud bang, a deafening sound echoed through the air.
The compressed air fist was already aimed at Hanzō's head.
As if he had foreseen this, Hanzō tilted his head to the side and dodged the attack.
"Asuka is a sensory ninja, as is her grandfather, Demigod. And sensory ninjas can detect attacks even from behind..."
Pakura stared at the arena, clearly the most qualified to commentate on this battle.
Next, Hanzō, with one hand Hand Seals a mudra, completed the mudra.
He vanished from the spot in an instant.
Pakura: "It's here! It's Hanzō's Body Flicker Technique... It's said that his Body Flicker Technique is in no way inferior to that of the Yellow Flash, Minato Namikaze..."
The next second.
Suddenly, even heavier rain began to fall from the sky.
No... that's not rainwater.
It's a sharp needle!!
"Senbon Shower," a Water Release Ninjutsu technique, can be activated without the need for actual Senbon Rain.
With the constant rainwater falling from Amegakure, it's practically an inexhaustible source of weapons!
Whoa!
It was like a basin of water being overturned.
The widespread attack obscured the scene.
The Akito simply stood still and endured the attacks.
A second later, Hanzō appeared in the distance, his eyes filled with astonishment.
He maintained the Hand Seals, thinking to himself, "This young man, Amakawa Akito, is many times stronger than he was before."
It seems that, perhaps, just as his granddaughter said, he has indeed become a remarkable strongman.
"Since that's the case..."
Hanzō quickly Hand Seals.
The sea surged.
Under Hanzō's control, the calm seawater instantly turned into a raging torrent.
Then, waves more than 50 meters high rose into the air.
Water Release... Great Exploding Water Colliding Wave!!
Great Exploding Water Colliding Wave, comparable in scale to an S-class Water Prison Shark Dance.
With the immense power of nature, towering waves were formed.
Watching this scene, Ringo Ameyuri couldn't help but marvel. "This is already on par with the scale of that fatso [Suikazan Fuguki]'s Water Release..."
Gazing at the scale of this Water Release.
Apart from Ringo Ameyuri and Juzo Biwa.
The others all looked shocked.
Because.
Even Jinchūriki might not be able to unleash Water Release Ninjutsu of this scale.
No, it should be said that there are very few ninjas in the entire ninja world capable of performing this kind of feat.
You can count them on one hand.
Faced with this scene, everyone quickly moved to a safe distance.
The towering waves crashed down with immense force.
Boom!!!
The entire coastline was enveloped.
In an instant, the iron plate bent and shattered.
The immense power of the flowing water was fully displayed at this moment.
"My lord..." Guren looked at the roaring waves before her and couldn't help but feel worried.
"Master isn't so easily defeated."
Ying glanced at her and said coldly.
The next second.
The waves began to recede.
The Akito appeared completely unharmed.
"..."
Hanzō frowned upon seeing this.
"This level of defense is comparable to that of the Raikage clan."
Then, Akito raised his fist, ready to begin his turn.
At that moment, Hanzō felt an astonishing sense of threat emanating from Amakawa Akito.
There was also that boiling, dark aura, which seemed to... reveal the dark side of this world.
Then, a white beam of light illuminated.
Then came the sonic boom.
A punch delivered at seven times the speed of sound from a distance has a destructive power exceeding that of the Morning Peacock.
Hanzō suddenly dodged to the side.
A series of loud explosions rang in my ears.
If he hadn't foreseen the danger, he would probably have been severely injured in the first encounter.
Hanzō subconsciously touched his cheek.
A faint bloodstain appeared there.
Then, Akito threw another punch.
This time, the attack range is larger.
The fist-thick white beam of light transformed into an air corridor with a diameter exceeding half a meter.
Boom!!!
The destructive power distorted even the air and the scenery.
The transparent attack forced Hanzō to use his Body Flicker Technique to dodge to the side.
He gripped the kusarigama tightly, trying to get closer.
However, the Akito would not give him that opportunity.
Another punch.
The diameter of the cylindrical air corridor has reached about 1 meter.
The onlookers stared blankly as the Akito man unleashed world-destroying power with every wave of his hand.
He was so frightened that he couldn't speak.
Hanzō, who was present at the scene, looked utterly astonished.
He quickly created countless Water Clones, intending to confuse the Akito's judgment with sheer numbers.
Hundreds of Hanzō appeared on the spot.
He once again demonstrated that unparalleled skill that was indistinguishable from the real thing.
He saw hundreds of Hanzō rushing towards him.
The Akito clenched his fist.
The pitch- Dark Chakra frantically gathered towards his right hand, becoming as deep and dark as purgatory, like a black hole, devouring everything.
As Hanzō's main body and clone approached.
The Akito suddenly swung his fist.
"Super Activation Fist!"
Boom!!
The force of the punch whizzed Hanzō's ear, stunning him and leaving him rooted to the spot.
The unstoppable Dark Chakra shattered 100 Water Clone, then flew diagonally into the sky.
The crowd first saw a black beam of light shoot straight into the sky.
It blasted away the dark clouds in the sky, creating a large hole.
Then, a rumbling sound reached their ears.
A few seconds later...
A ray of sunlight pierced through the broken clouds and shone onto the earth.
The Amegakure, where rain never ceases, has finally seen the sun for the first time.
The golden sunlight shone on the Akito.
It was as if it had been coated with a layer of hope.
Tranquility and peace, rage and power, both appeared in the Akito.
Looking at the former, bathed in light.
Guren and the others Chunin a sense of reverence.
