Chapter 348

And...

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at the "Kitsuchi" covering the ground.

This matter must be handled as soon as possible.

Otherwise, it would be a serious diplomatic problem between the two countries.

So, the question is, who is the murderer...?

"What? Does the Hokage think I'm the murderer?"

Ying's eyes widened slightly, meeting Hiruzen Sarutobi's gaze.

Hiruzen Sarutobi aback.

He certainly didn't believe Ying was the murderer.

Because, no matter how extraordinary it may seem, it's impossible for 13-year-old Ying to possess such power.

That's not how you shift blame.

Nobody's a fool.

However, we can't shift the blame onto this girl named Ying; who else can we pin the responsibility on?

Amakawa Akito?

However, Amakawa Akito was not present at all.

That shadow, as black as ink...

Only.

--The blame was placed on Orochimaru, the traitorous disciple.

Just then, Orochimaru appeared during the Chunin Ninja Exams and left Cursed Seal on Sasuke's neck.

Regardless of whether it was him or not.

He's going to take the blame for this now.

Because Konoha cannot afford to go to war with Iwagakure.

Perhaps... we really should elect Fifth Hokage.

"Ha, this is Konoha. They say they won't participate, but they still end up participating anyway."

Ying glanced around at everyone, and when she saw Asuma, the sarcasm on her face became even more obvious.

After saying that.

Ying then turned around and left the scene with light steps.

White and Ajisai followed.

The Genin from other countries also showed expressions of contempt or ridicule.

At this moment, Konoha became a laughing stock in everyone's eyes.

272. Kushina's Disappointment [Act 2, Second CG]

"It's resolved."

More than ten kilometers away, in a hotel in Konoha.

Akito opened his eyes, ending the remote control operation.

After killing Huang Tu with a single blow, Dark Shadow switched to a state where it existed as chakra.

By attaching to Ying's body using Dark Jutsu Formula, it remains in standby mode to prevent unforeseen events.

The assassination was successful.

This verified the abilities of the Dark Shadow.

On the other hand, it served as a warning to Konoha. Killing Kitsuchi was just the beginning; what followed... Konoha would face formal retaliation.

The "third assessment" will take place one month later.

Not only must Ying defeat Naruto Uzumaki in front of everyone.

The revenge operation will officially begin.

With the qualifiers concluded.

Konoha needs to give Ōnoki an explanation and properly handle the death of Kitsuchi.

This blame will most likely be placed on Orochihime.

"Oh."

Akito glanced at Orochihime.

She had regained consciousness, and her dull, vertical pupils began to focus again.

He was interrogated by the Akito for three days and three nights, but now he is burdened with a fabricated crime.

Of course, for Orochihime, having too many lice doesn't bother her, and having too many debts doesn't bother her.

Just like Danzo, it wouldn't be a big problem for them to take on some more blame.

"Remember our previously agreed-upon plan."

The Akito lifted Orochihime's smooth chin and gazed at her alluring and beautiful face as he spoke.

One month later.

The Otogakure and the Sunagakure joined forces.

The Konoha Crush plan has officially begun.

However, unlike the original story, Orochihime will no longer be a main fighting force this time, at Akito's request.

Especially after... Akito informed Orochihime that the forbidden technique "Reaper Death Seal" was Hiruzen Sarutobi card.

Orochihime is even less likely to seek death on her own.

In addition, Orochihime was sealed with the "Eight Trigrams Seal," which confined her spirit within her body.

Before researching how to crack the code, Orochihime's fear of losing her immortality will make her even more cautious.

Instead of making actions like taking a superhuman Monstrous Strength to the face or being torn apart by Jinchūriki.

In other words, it means cherishing the female body currently in use even more.

As requested by Akito, Orochihime will play the support role.

Hanzō, Pakura, Asuka... and myself are the real main force.

After being freed from her restraints, Orochihime stood up shakily.

I staggered into the bathroom.

Soon, the sound of water from a shower could be heard inside.

After washing away all the makeup.

The Orochihime princess emerges from her bath.

She stared at Akito warily, her eyes filled with hatred, anger, and fear.

Under the intimidation of the Akito, Orochihime, having lost her trump card of immortality, was undoubtedly in her most vulnerable state.

"Come over!"

As the Akito whispered their orders, Orochihime could only slowly, very slowly, walk over.

Then.

The Akito employed a two-pronged approach.

The two instruments of torture were placed on Orochihime's body, and with the infusion of Chakra, they took effect once again.

Compared to Kushina's single restriction.

Orochihime's dual abilities can further weaken her mobility.

The faint Chakra whirring of the torture instruments, Orochihime's trembling legs, and her slightly shaking head all indicated her weakness.

"Leave, but do not remove the torture instruments until you leave Konoha."

To prevent Orochihime from suddenly attacking and harming people in anger.

The Akito imposed restrictions on her.

Chakra ninja tools that can significantly reduce mobility would be the best shackles.

As for Orochihime...

This is a disgrace... the ultimate disgrace!

Orochihime secretly made a vow in her heart.

Once you get back, you must lie low and then devote yourself entirely to studying various things.

Perfecting the Impure World Reincarnation, breaking the Eight Trigrams Seal...

As she pondered these thoughts, she opened the door and slowly left.

Click.

As the door slammed shut behind him, silence returned.

Only the low hum of the video recorder continued.

Akito turned around, walked to the video recorder, and pressed the button.

The recording stopped, and then the videotape ejected.

This videotape recorded the process of interrogating Orochihime over the past three days.

After copying, there will be a duplicate.

If necessary, you can send it to Orochihime so she can watch the videotape.

After putting away the videotape, the half-closed door to the study slowly opened.

Kushina peeks out.

For the past three days, Orochihime has been unaware of Kushina's existence.

Kushina didn't know either.

The woman brought back by the Akito was Orochihime.

Three days of torture were enough to fill Kushina with immense fear.

After all, although in the past few months... Amakawa Akito often brought Kurenai Yuhi over.

But never before has it been as terrible as the past three days.

"..."

Akito silently raised his head and looked at Kushina who had come out.

One glance was enough to send shivers down Kushina's spine, and she couldn't help but recall the scenes of interrogating Orochihime over the past three days.

Kushina's eyes trembled.

My body was trembling slightly.

His breathing also became slightly rapid.

Even the preliminary hand seals for Water Release Ninjutsu were uncontrollably and secretly prepared...

She.

What are you afraid of...?

However, in the end, Akito only glanced at her before turning around and leaving.

Bang!

As the door closed, all was quiet.

Kushina stood rooted to the spot, like a frozen statue.
