Chapter 368
If there were God of Shinobi in this world today.
Then... it must be Akito!
The fierce and domineering power instantly shattered the Vajra Prison wall.
With a cry of pain, the Enma was instantly reverted to its original form.
Its body, seemingly indestructible, coughed up blood and flew backward. "I'm sorry, Sarutobi... this is the best I can do..."
With a loud bang, smoke billowed up.
The Enma turned into a wisp of smoke and was sent back to its original location.
"Even... for a fleeting moment...?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi uttered a bitter remark as he watched Amakawa Akito's five fingers grow larger before his eyes...
291. The Death of the Hokage: The Beginning of Despair
"Etc!"
Kakashi immediately stopped Uzuki Yugao from rushing forward.
It's too late.
Whether it was because of the previous exam, or because Uzuki Yugao wasn't present at the time and therefore didn't know how terrifying Hotaru was.
Or perhaps Ying sensed the murderous intent and acted to protect her companions and herself.
Two possibilities.
This makes the girl Amegakure feel like a child holding a nuclear bomb.
Under unstable circumstances, she unleashed her most lethal attack.
"Drink!!"
With a clear shout from Ying.
As Uzuki Yugao ran and jumped, she was instantly struck by a beam of light.
Laugh!
Uzuki Yugao swayed slightly.
The Anbu uniform... a bright red substance gradually seeped out from the abdomen area.
She collapsed to the ground with a thud, her body trembling slightly.
"..."
Kakashi and the others were immediately stunned and speechless.
Because the counterattack was too swift.
Only now did Ying reveal her true trump card.
That is... combining Natural Energy with Dark Chakra to create Senjutsu.
Extend two fingers and let the energy converge at your fingertips.
After being compressed to the extreme, a beam of light is fired, maximizing the destructive power per unit area.
There didn't seem to be any spectacular sound and light effects.
It was just a fleeting, pale black, transparent light.
Uzuki Yugao was hit.
Senjutsu provides several times, even ten times, greater destructive power than ordinary Chakra.
Just like the Wind Release: Rasenshuriken, when infused with Senjutsu, not only are its side effects eliminated, but it can also be thrown.
For Ying, focusing Chakra into a highly lethal beam of light is something she can easily do using Senjutsu.
This technique has a longer range, finer point, faster speed, and greater destructive power than the Chidori Sharp Spear.
Why is this happening...?
Pain flashed in Kakashi's and the others' eyes; it was a reaction to their comrade's injury.
What should we do...?
"Medical team!!"
Anko's call rang out.
The medical team arrived quickly and began treating Uzuki Yugao.
"His abdomen was completely pierced!"
"Use the Mystical Palm Technique quickly!"
"Stop the bleeding first!"
A cacophony of shouts and yells.
Next were several of Uzuki Yugao's Anbu colleagues from the same class.
They reacted differently when they saw their squad leader was injured.
In the Anbu Division, if the squad leader is unable to command, then... the platoon leader will take over his responsibilities.
Uzuki Yugao's Anbu Squad 6 was the Anbu squad that Kakashi used to belong to.
At that time, Uzuki Yugao was a newly joined junior.
The Anbu Squad 6 is led by Kakashi.
Tenzo, and even Itachi, are all in this class.
Years have passed, and things have changed.
The characters have changed time and again.
The newcomers may not know anything about the older generation.
And that junior Uzuki Yugao, also became the leader of the sixth squad of the Anbu.
After discussing it, the remaining 7 members decided to join forces and launch an attack.
So they formed a formation, providing overlapping cover, and charged towards Ying.
"Drink!!!"
The girl from Amegakure sensed danger, yet remained fearless.
With a clear shout, his aura surged.
Ajisai immediately hid behind, taking out a talisman in her hand, ready to assist in defending against the enemy.
Bai also Hand Seals, ready to use Ice Release at any moment.
The next second, a dazzling light that seemed to pierce the heavens and earth flashed across the scene.
The seven members of the Anbu died amidst screams.
As if possessing infinite Chakra, Ying gathered the Natural Energy between heaven and earth and poured it out recklessly.
In the blink of an eye, all seven Anbu were wiped out.
This scene brought tears to Kakashi's eyes.
Even a figure that had followed from the shadows immediately covered its mouth.
It was Uzumaki Kushina.
She looked at the corpses lying haphazardly before her.
A wave of sorrow washed over me.
The familiar meeting venue, including the main dais, had been completely reduced to ruins.
Kakashi's classmate, Uzuki Yugao, is seriously injured and is currently being treated.
The once vibrant and energetic group now appears either terrified or at a loss.
Everything familiar... has slowly disappeared or been completely destroyed.
What should he do? Kakashi racked his brains.
This is unlike any mission before.
Kakashi at this moment.
Just like in the original Shippuden, when the person whose mask was broken turned out to be Obito Uchiha.
He was trembling all over, his eyes were wide open, and his mind was frozen.
They have been dealing with the Land of Rain for many years.
Some things penetrated deep into Kakashi's heart.
When... the invaded Land of Rain strikes with righteous revenge.
So, what can the Konoha Ninja, as invaders and perpetrators, do besides await judgment?
The strength remains unchanged.
My physical strength hasn't diminished much.
At this moment, Kakashi was torn between his inner thoughts and his fundamental beliefs were shaken.
Watching his companions fall one by one.
Kakashi could only tremble in place.
There was no motivation to fight, and no incentive to use force.
They didn't know why they were fighting.
Confuse.
"Father..."
Kakashi thought of his father Hatake Sakumo.
When the whole village condemned him, did the father... waver?
The next second.
The darkness within the barrier suddenly vanished.
Then, everything was revealed to be as it truly was.
The Third Hokage had his neck choked by Amakawa Akito.
The four Shadow Clone burst into a cloud of smoke and vanished instantly.
There are only three possibilities in this situation.
1. The Third Hokage voluntarily dispelled the Shadow Clone.
2. The Shadow Clone was destroyed.
3... The original body, the Third Hokage, is dead.
Judging from the strangely twisted angle of that neck...
Clearly, it's the third possibility.
The Third Hokage was killed by Amakawa Akito...
After snapping Hiruzen Sarutobi's neck, Akito slowly spoke, "To immediately undo the Reaper Death Seal, I won't let you say your last words."
There were no last words.
Or rather, Hiruzen Sarutobi's previous words were enough to serve as his last words.
The Akito killed him the instant he grabbed him.
A generation of Professor.
Shadow of Konoha.
The old man, a professor, Ninjutsu expert, and many other accolades, died at the hands of the actual leader of Amegakure.
