Chapter 388

Holding an 8-ton katana, Hotaru burst out of the hole in the Sand Sea and came within 5 meters of Gaara!

"Shukaku's Shield!"

Gaara unleashed his power.

A surge of Chakra formed, creating a humanoid tanuki monster.

Laugh!!

An 8-ton katana was slashed down with a single blow.

It did not cut Shukaku's shield in two.

"What terrifying power..."

Gaara opened his eyes wide.

"I incorporated a large amount of underground minerals into it and compressed them; theoretically..."

In theory, it could even withstand Kakashi's S-rank Lightning Cutter.

But...

"That knife... there's something wrong with it!"

Be aware of this.

Absolute defense has begun to fully envelop the area.

Before closing the seals, Gaara, who Hand Seals, said to Gaara, "Why did Amegakure get involved in this?"

What does Orochihime taking Sasuke have to do with you?

"Hmph, because that was Master's order," Ying snorted coldly in reply.

"Master?"

Gaara opened his eyes wide.

"Could it be... the actual leader of Amegakure... Amakawa Akito?"

"He'll be the emperor soon!" Ying corrected.

Gaara was speechless. "You... have been brainwashed by Amakawa Akito's evil."

Looking into Ying's unwavering gaze.

That implies that Amakawa Akito was revered as a deity.

"Brainwashing? Evil? Ha, you don't understand at all..."

Ying shook her head.

With a low growl, she launched another attack.

"This isn't brainwashing! And... we'll decide what's right!"

And Master is justice!

No...

It should be said that...

"The Akito emperors were righteous!!"

309. Naruto Uzumaki, you don't want Sasuke to go back at all.

Because of mistakes I made when I was young.

Therefore, Ying believes that since she is capable of making mistakes, she should leave the decision to someone who is not.

And that person...

That is my master!

"I am a sharp blade in my master's hand, an extension of his will! I will definitely... ensure that Sasuke Uchiha successfully defectes!"

As they were talking.

Ying let out a low shout, her figure transforming into a blur.

Boom boom boom!!!

With the support of Senjutsu Chakra.

Ying wielded her 8-ton katana, and amidst continuous explosions, Gaara's absolute defense was swiftly stripped away.

At this time, Gaara was not the same Gaara who Shippuden four years later.

"We can't hold on any longer!"

Hidden within absolute defenses, he listened to the deafening roar outside.

Amid a series of explosions.

Darkness turned into light.

The external environment is revealed.

Gaara stared wide-eyed at the Amegakure girl who had shattered his defenses with incredible disbelief.

Laugh!

The katana pierced Gaara's forehead... the "Sand Armor".

It's as simple as cutting into tofu.

Weighing 8 tons, plus the sharpness and indestructibility of the Kusanagi Sword.

Ying pierced right through the Sand Armor's defenses.

A trickle of blood seeped from Gaara's forehead.

It dripped from the broken seams of the Sand Armor and the blade.

The next second.

The absolute defense collapsed with a deafening roar.

Ying sheathed her katana, turned, and leaped into the air, shooting off into the distance like a shooting star...

Gaara stood there, stunned, realizing his defeat.

The fact that the other party didn't immediately kill him proves that they were warning him not to continue the pursuit.

Valley of the End.

In front of the statues of Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju.

The waterfall roared as it cascaded down.

Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki engaged in their final showdown here.

The Akito stood quietly in the dense forest on the distant hillside, watching this scene unfold.

"Grown ups."

With the appearance of white, Ajisai, obscurity, Kagari, and Mubi.

Tayuya, Jirobo, Sakon, Ukon, Kidomaru also appeared at the scene.

The four exhausted individuals have not yet recovered.

After all, the cost of state two is simply too high.

"Thank you so much for saving me, sir..."

Sakon Ukon swallowed hard.

He immediately expressed his gratitude.

As the strongest of the Sound Four.

The phrase "Sakon"Ukon" conveyed the correct meaning of gratitude.

Without turning his head, Akito continued to watch the battle between Naruto and Sasuke below, saying, "No need to rush to thank me, because you will pay the price for this."

What will be the price?

"The four of you, start killing each other, and the last one will be able to leave safely."

The Sound Four: "!"

Do you think I would say that?

Akito turned his head and glanced at the four people out of the corner of his eye.

The four people hit by the sweep felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave, and for a moment they felt as if they had died countless times.

The slight aura that leaked out was enough to freeze them in place.

"The four of you should already understand that Orochihime has abandoned you."

Without a doubt.

If it weren't for the Amegakure rescue team, all four of them would have met their demise at the hands of the Sage of Six Paths.

"In that case, would you like to consider coming to our Amegakure?"

The Akito extended an invitation.

The Sound Four were all quite capable.

They are skilled in various Sealing Jutsu and Barrier Ninjutsu.

They are useful talents.

Tayuya, in particular, possesses a sound Genjutsu rarely seen in the ninja world.

The Akito planned to use her to do something.

Tayuya could Tayuya free Rin Nohara from Orochihime's Impure World Reincarnation control.

By then.

Rin Nohara will have complete ownership in her own hands!

There's absolutely no need to worry about Orochihime Summoning Rin Nohara or dispelling the Summoning.

Faced with the Akito's recruitment efforts.

The four exchanged glances, all seeing the astonishment in each other's eyes.

"Even if we pledge allegiance to you, how is it any different from when we served under Lord Orochimaru?"

Sakon mustered his courage and asked.

"Ninjas are just tools; once they're no longer useful, they're discarded..."

The four men were prepared to die when they carried out this mission.

"Hehe." The Akito smiled without saying a word.

"Adults will not abandon their companions."

Bai smiled and picked up the conversation.

"In our Amegakure, there's no such thing as tools. Everyone is a comrade, we can get along amicably, and there's no need to worry about being killed by others..."

Bai Yiyi explains.

Simply put

In Amegakure, you will be a "person".

"I do."

Sakon immediately knelt down on one knee.

"I... I'm willing too." Seeing Tayuya also swore allegiance.

Under these circumstances, Jirobo and Kidomaru also surrendered.

So, what should the four of them do next?
