Chapter 318
242. Lady Kushina, it's been a long time.
Crown Prince Naruto vs. Neji's battle and speeches.
It's like someone saying... "Working class! As long as you work as hard as I do, you too can buy a seaside mansion."
But that was just people joking.
If you think you can be like others, then you're really a fool.
Neji drank the poisoned chicken soup, and was eventually impaled on a small tree branch and died.
It perfectly completes the cycle of fate. "The son of the Hokage is the Hokage, and the son who dies in place of others dies in place of others."
His ending was, in a sense, the greatest irony.
"..."
Hizashi Hyuga bowed slightly, his gratitude unspoken.
Seeing her son whom she hadn't seen for many years and finding a way to pull him out of the mire was her only wish.
"So, everyone, let's all do our best for the Chunin Ninja Exams six months!"
The Akito slapped the table and announced the main plans for the year.
Everything... is preparation for revenge Chunin Ninja Exams six months later, and for the upcoming Fourth Great Ninja War!
After the meeting.
Everyone left the scene.
"I'm going back to continue my cultivation." Ying clenched her fist, deciding to devote most of her time to cultivation.
As for side jobs like acting, those can be left to the Shadow Clone.
Pakura nearby, shared the same thought. In order to defeat the Kazekage, she needed to continue honing her inner hatred and push her Dark Chakra to new heights.
"Grandfather."
Asuka looked at Hanzō.
They are similar ninjas from the same origin.
Asuka was finally able to ask her grandfather how to become the second Demigod.
She can also impart her years of exploration and experience with Dark Chakra to Demigod.
The grandfather and grandson each get what they need, and they will complement each other.
"Gentlemen, perhaps I will have a chance to face my elder brother."
Hizashi Hyuga entrusted Ringo Ameyuri and Juzo Biwa to them.
During this period, I hope we can be each other's adversaries.
When the time comes, if he faces his elder brother Hyuga Hiashi, he will also demonstrate the possibility of the Branch Family defeating the Main Family.
Fate... can be changed.
Actions will prove this.
"I've achieved considerable success..."
Shinnō observed the peaceful atmosphere.
I've decided... to go catch up with my old friend Orochihime.
While we're at it, let's check on Kimimaro's condition.
After all, that deal was to maintain Kimimaro's situation until it stabilized.
Therefore, a check-up at least once a year is necessary.
Everyone has chosen their own path, Akito naturally has his own things to do as well.
Ying's choice of her last teammate.
Some things in the original work have been changed.
Everything... is under control.
And right now, the most important thing is...
Akito: "I imagine Lady Kushina would also very much like to see her child..."
Ancor Vantian.
Black Prison.
Glug glug...
Apart from the sound of bubbles rising to the surface, the entire Black Prison was eerily silent.
In complete darkness.
Multiple bodies floated and sank in different life-sustaining containers.
Yakushi Nonō, the Ryugakure, Uzumaki Kushina, Little Fishman: Isaribi, Fubuki Kakuyoku, Mikoto Uchiha...
Their eyes were tightly closed, as if they were in a dream.
A frown, sorrow, or fear...
All expressions can be summed up in the word "pain".
Over the years, they have continuously generated negative emotions.
It is transformed into Dark Chakra to maintain the operation of Ancor Vantian, or transferred to Akito.
Ancor Vantian's power center, in addition to maintaining its own operation, also powers the spherical barrier of Amegakure below.
In fact.
The Ancor Vantian has a remarkably high power output efficiency.
A single Zero-Tails is enough to keep everything running.
With so many Dark Weapons and numerous Zero-Tails, they could easily deal damage.
The excess Dark Chakra flowed into Akito's body, continuously becoming resources for Akito's growth and expansion.
The current strength of the Akito is [75.242].
This power is enough to make 99% of the ninjas in the ninja world tremble and shudder.
Therefore, each step forward becomes exceptionally difficult.
Relying solely on the Dark Weapon at hand, their power can only be increased slightly each year.
However, the "total amount" of Dark Chakra, which is the upper limit of Akito's own chakra bar, is constantly increasing.
Each year, this adds at least several hundred to 1,000 calories.
This is tantamount to indirectly continuing to increase strength.
A power bottleneck is only a bottleneck for others.
For the Akito, there was nothing in this world that was impossible.
If so.
That must be because there aren't enough people.
With enough people and by pooling everyone's strength, there's nothing that can't be accomplished.
Next step.
Akito is preparing to complete the most crucial part of the "Amegakure Barrier Core".
Several years ago.
Asuka activated the emergency plan, completing the Spherical Sensory Barrier that enveloped Amegakure.
However, within the core, there is still a part that has not been started.
That part needs to be filled in by yourself.
And once that technique is activated... one's power will continue to increase by leaps and bounds.
Of course, that's a matter for later, a backup plan.
When the opponent plays according to a set pattern, Akito will also go back and forth with him.
If the other party doesn't follow the normal rules, they are cheating.
I'm sorry.
The backup spell will then be activated, and the enemy will experience what true "power" is.
"Kushina..."
Akito even glancing at Mikoto Uchiha, Akito walked straight up to Uzumaki Kushina.
Next, we'll release her and take her to Konoha to see how Crown Prince Naruto has grown.
As for why it wasn't Mikoto Uchiha...
On the night of the genocide, her actions spoke volumes.
Uzumaki Kushina deeply loved Minato Namikaze, and she also loved children.
Mikoto Uchiha was different.
She was a devoted wife, always letting her husband make the decisions.
Didn't she know that the Uchiha's rebellion could cost Itachi and Sasuke their lives?
This beautiful woman certainly knew.
But she still chose to obey her husband's arrangements unconditionally.
It is clear that in Mikoto Uchiha's heart, her husband was her number one priority.
Therefore, threatening Mikoto Uchiha with Sasuke's life is simply not a viable option.
Because she had already prepared herself for the death of her entire family when the Uchiha "rebellion" took place.
Wow...
Following the actions of the Akito.
Kushina was released.
"Hoo~~~~~~~~~~."
Just like the rapid breathing of someone who has fallen into the water.
Kushina, who had been woken up, began to breathe heavily.
When she looked up from her kneeling position, what she saw... was that familiar yet unfamiliar cold and stern face.
"Lady Kushina... it's been a long time."
Kushina: "!"
243. In the beginning of the original story, Kushina suffered from "heatstroke"?
"Lord Hokage, something terrible has happened!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi: "What's wrong? Did Naruto pull some kind of trick again?"
Thousands of miles away, in the remote Konohagakure.
A burst of laughter kicked off today's prank.
"Idiots, you can't do that, can you?"
Naruto Uzumaki, holding a paint bucket and a brush, hangs himself in mid-air, the Hokage Rock on all sides covered in various graffiti.
He looked at his masterpiece and burst into laughter.
"Naruto, you idiot, get down here right now!!" Iruka shouted.
