Chapter 362
"Magical... Nirvana Abode Technique!!"
Following Kabuto, several other Otogakure ninjas Hand Seals.
Genjutsu feathers fell from the sky.
A wide-ranging A-level Genjutsu, like a barrier, enveloped the entire area.
"The regular audience members are getting in the way, let them fall asleep first..."
Whether it's trampling or screaming and crying, it will only make people impatient.
Boom!
The next second.
As the feather fell, Akito punched the main ceremonial platform.
Hiruzen Sarutobi and Rasa both left the scene and jumped to the back.
The viewing platform exploded instantly.
The entire building was reduced to ruins.
"What terrifying power..."
Hiruzen Sarutobi and Rasa leaped into the air, watching this scene with solemn expressions.
Their attention was focused on the Akito.
The two "Sunagakure" guards who should have died suddenly had four figures leap out from their tattered robes.
Immediately afterwards.
A white figure rushed towards them.
Led by Kimimaro, Kabuto Yakushi, who had completed the Genjutsu, also dropped his disguise and joined the ranks.
"Six Purple Flame Formation!!!"
Kidomaru, Tayuya, Sakon Ukon Sakon, Jirobo, Kimimaro, and Kabuto Yakushi.
The six people simultaneously Hand Seals.
The moment Hiruzen Sarutobi and Rasa landed outside the venue.
Six Paths beams of light shot into the sky.
Then, they interconnected, forming a vast, sky-covering purple barrier!
The Daimyo of the Land of Rain also took office.
He stared at the scene, still in shock.
Just before the viewing platform was destroyed by the Akito, Hanzō leaped backward with him.
In the sky, the purple barrier is healing.
One second before it closed.
The Akito jumped in.
"Amakawa Akito Mingren..."
Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned, his face grim.
"I never expected you to join forces with the Otogakure..."
"Oh."
The Akito gave a light snort.
Of course, they wouldn't explain that this wasn't a collaboration at all.
Instead, it's a "command".
The fact that Orochihime is her own Dark Weapon is unknown to outsiders.
They naturally wouldn't understand its meaning.
"As expected of Lord Orochimaru, even Amakawa Akito has reached an agreement with us."
Kabuto Yakushi maintained the barrier, a smirk playing on his lips.
In his mind, Lord Orochimaru is the strongest.
Of course, this strength doesn't entirely refer to power.
After all, Lord Orochimaru himself said that he was no match for Pain.
But true strength isn't just about Ninjutsu.
This is not what we agreed upon!
At this moment, Rasa certainly wouldn't naively utter such a sentence.
He gritted his teeth as he watched the scene unfold, naturally understanding that Sunagakure had been abandoned.
The Amegakure and the Sound Ninja have formed an alliance; they... are the true hunters!
Then Rasa shouted, "Hokage -sama, let's join forces!"
On the surface, Konoha and Sunagakure have an alliance.
As allies, we should of course join forces.
Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled and said, "To stand shoulder to shoulder with Lord Kazekage, perhaps... we can usher in a new era..."
"That old man's about to die, and he's still laughing," Tayuya hissed.
"Shut up."
Kimimaro's cold words silenced the Sound Four.
After all, his orders are absolute.
The Akito looked down at the two figures with an arrogant expression.
As for the two shadow guards, they have already been kept outside.
At this moment, several Anbu were trying to find a way to enter the barrier.
The moment an unlucky fellow crashed into it, he turned into a ball of Kakkō.
Amidst screams of agony, he was burned to death by purple flames in just a few seconds.
"Damn it, this barrier can only be destroyed from the inside..."
Several Konoha Anbu landed, looking tense.
"If either the Hokage or the Kazekage takes down one of them, we'll have a chance to get in..."
But the next second...
Kimimaro six companions formed a smaller barrier within the larger barrier, enveloping themselves in it.
At this point, the six entities were unified and completely integrated with the barrier.
"Hmph, it seems getting out won't be an easy task," Hiruzen Sarutobi remarked after a glance.
As an upgraded version of the Four Violet Flames Formation... the Six Purple Flame Formation.
The attack, performed by six people together, expanded its range several times over, covering a vast area.
Its defensive capabilities have increased exponentially.
It could even withstand an attack from Tailed Beast Bomb with a diameter of 6 meters.
Although it is not as good as the S-rank Four Red Yang Formation.
But in the broader ninja world, they are already among the best.
Then, Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Akito: "Amakawa Akito Tenkawa... do we really have to become enemies?"
"Ha, your Konoha and Sunagakure have invaded our Land of Rain, what do you say?"
The Akito looked amused.
You didn't say this when you were hitting us.
Now that we've come for revenge, have you backed down?
"On this matter, I truly have nothing to say..."
Hiruzen Sarutobi lowered his eyelids and shook his head.
"But... I am the Hokage, and protecting Konoha is my duty."
"Yes, protecting Konoha is indeed your duty, and revenge... is also our duty!"
The words of the Akito unveiled the curtain on righteous revenge.
"Today, I will kill you and Kazekage Rasa, as the beginning of my revenge..."
Prelude...
... start?
Hiruzen Sarutobi and Rasa slightly opened their eyes, understanding the implication behind it.
"That's right, just as you guessed, today... we'll kill both of you here!"
The Akito nodded slightly.
"And... in the future, I will become the 'Emperor' of the Land of Rain Alliance!"
Ascension to the throne...
"Change the Land of Rain, change the Alliance, unify the nations, change the ninja world... and even, four years later, destroy Konoha!"
The Akito then delivered his next declaration.
Killing the two Shadows was just the beginning.
There were still many things to do, including becoming emperor and unifying the various kingdoms.
In the end, they conquered the ninja world.
And in this process, Konoha will naturally be "destroyed"!!
That deadline... is "four years from now"!
286. Crown Prince Naruto, 17 years old, a double standard.
Why four years later?
Instead of one year, two years, or three years?
What date is it four years from now?
For Hiruzen Sarutobi and Rasa, this was the date of preparation for Amakawa Akito's attack.
But for the Akito...
Four years later, Crown Prince Naruto was 17 years old.
That year, he told Neji, "Fate can be changed."
He became the ultimate trash who told Nagato, "Believe in fate, believe in me, because I am the child of fate."
Four years later.
Asuma is dead.
Without a word, Naruto Uzumaki unleashed a Rasengan that killed Kakuzu Kakuzu's cells. Even if Kakashi didn't finish him off, Kakuzu would have died within seconds.
Later... Sasuke "captured" Killer B, Raikage, mistakenly believing Killer B to be dead, went to seek revenge. Crown Prince Naruto stopped the Raikage from taking revenge, saying that it would cause a chain reaction of hatred.
Double standards are a classic example.
In short, I can take revenge by killing Kakuzu, but you can't take revenge by killing Sasuke; it's simply not allowed.
Four years later.
More than half of the 80,000- Allied Shinobi Forces were killed or wounded.
Obito Uchiha and Madara controlled the Ten-Tails and used Tailed Beast Bomb to destroy the Allied Shinobi Forces headquarters, along with a small town. Tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands, of people perished in that attack.
