Chapter 395

"I've received some information from Akatsuki... Orochihime is also in that organization... Amakawa Akito said he'd destroy Konoha in four years, but Akatsuki might come and take you away in three years..."

None of this matters.

Naruto shook his head.

"If I don't go find Sasuke right away, he might be killed by Orochimaru!"

"Snort."

Jiraiya smiled.

"Don't worry about that. Orochihime has the Eight Trigrams Seal left by Amakawa Akito on her body, so for the time being... she won't be able to obtain Sasuke's body..."

Through Tsunade's selective explanation.

Jiraiya learned that Orochihime's spirit had been sealed.

Of course, Tsunade certainly didn't mention that she had been humiliated.

"One day, you will face something far more serious than Sasuke... whether it's Akatsuki or Amakawa Akito."

Four years later, Amakawa Akito declared that he would destroy Konoha.

He will definitely do it.

I won't let him succeed.

"Right now, it seems you're the one with the best chance of stopping him."

Jiraiya pointed out.

Naruto Uzumaki is the hope of the entire village.

This task is absolutely yours.

"Sakura's training is going well too." Tsunade picked up her teacup and took a sip.

He was clearly very satisfied with his disciple's actions.

Sakura, who may seem to have ordinary talent, possesses an exceptional mind and Chakra control.

He's truly... a talent.

Tsunade: "You teach Naruto, I'll teach Sakura..."

Orochihime taught Sasuke.

Why did Sasuke Uchiha defect?

Because the platform has reached a bottleneck.

Staying under Kakashi's tutelage would prevent any further progress.

To seek revenge, one must find someone even more capable to be one's teacher.

However...

There's something Tsunade didn't say...

The truth behind the massacre of the Uchiha Clan.

Having become Hokage, she naturally knew about that matter.

That truth was the real reason why the Konoha High Command wanted to prevent Sasuke Uchiha leaving.

Someday.

Sasuke Uchiha will return.

Tsunade understood this perfectly.

That was the time when he sought revenge against Konoha.

"Well then, Tsunade, we're leaving." Jiraiya stood up, indicating that he was taking Naruto with him.

"Shall we leave now?" Tsunade asked.

"Yes, time waits for no one."

Jiraiya waved.

He took Naruto outside.

"Go home and pack your things."

Jiraiya patted Naruto Uzumaki on the back.

The news was still being broadcast on television at that time.

"According to the latest intelligence, a tsunami is about to make landfall on the eastern coast of the Land of Fire, and will soon sweep across the entire coastline... Local residents are advised to prepare for evacuation..."

"What an unsettling day."

Tsunade stared at the news broadcast.

Various natural disasters often occur along the coast.

But what can tiny humans do in the face of the wrath of natural disasters?

"I will definitely practice diligently."

Naruto packed his backpack and walked out of his house.

He was full of hope.

They followed Jiraiya to the entrance of Konoha.

"Sakura, Iruka- sensei, Kakashi- sensei..."

The crowd stood at the entrance.

Behind the telephone pole, Hinata was also gazing at Naruto was about to set off.

This separation might last for three years.

After saying hello, Naruto Uzumaki set off.

He silently vowed to cultivate diligently and return in three years with a completely new look.

At that time, we will not only have to bring Sasuke back.

We must also defeat Orochihime, Akatsuki, and Amakawa Akito!

316. I, Amakawa Akito, Emperor's Declaration

Amegakure.

The coronation ceremony is about to begin.

In the bustling metropolis, busy crowds are everywhere.

This is a coronation ceremony that will be broadcast to the entire ninja world.

After the news was spread to the various countries of the ninja world, people knew that this day had arrived.

"Go and take a look at the emperor's ceremonial robes."

"The guards' attire..."

"And there's the arrangement for fireworks."

"The seating arrangements for the foreign guests..."

The Akito sat in his chair, watching the crowd come and go, appearing quite relaxed.

"Your Majesty," Guren bowed, "Please change your clothes quickly, the ceremony is about to begin..."

"Um."

Akito stood up and noticed that Hotaru, Asuka, and Pakura had all changed their clothes completely today, looking more like female celebrities than ninjas.

The Akito couldn't help but find it amusing.

After all, the entire ceremony today will be covered.

Then each country will broadcast and rebroadcast the event live.

The people of all the nations in the ninja world were very interested in the "emperor's" ascension to the throne.

"Has anything major happened today?"

Upon entering the changing room, Akito asked Guren, who was standing to the side.

"Yes." Guren thought for a moment and immediately reported, "According to reports, a tsunami will soon hit the eastern coastline of the Land of Fire, destroying at least several cities and numerous villages..."

Tsunami?

The Akito frowned.

Over the years, I have heard of natural disasters such as volcanic eruptions and landslides.

But a tsunami of this scale... this might be the first of its kind.

"And what about Konoha? What was their reaction?" Akito asked.

"Probably... no reaction..."

Guren blinked.

"According to historical records, whenever the Land of Fire suffers a major disaster, Konoha always stands idly by... I mean, they evacuate beforehand, and if they can't evacuate, they just wait to die... and then they deal with it afterwards..."

After all, natural disasters are beyond human control; what else can we do?

Two words... wait to die.

"Give me the specific details about the tsunami." Akito reached out and asked Guren for the information.

"Eh? But you..."

Guren wanted to say something.

The coronation ceremony is about to begin; we can't let anything else delay it.

Having followed Akito for so many years, how could Guren not know Akito's ways?

So she immediately submitted the intelligence she had gathered.

The Akito received it and glanced at it.

The tsunami was caused by the eruption of a volcano in the sea.

The underlying cause was an earthquake, which triggered a landslide, coupled with underwater fluctuations.

The combination of these two factors resulted in a massive tsunami.

We are now almost at the border of the Land of Fire.

Countless ordinary people will soon be submerged.

Holding the document, Akito stepped forward and slammed it on the table. "Gentlemen, what do you think?"

"What does the tsunami have to do with us?" someone asked.

"The waves are at least 500 meters high, there's no way to save them." Hanzō glanced at the document, thought for a moment, and shook his head.

Even with his strength, he couldn't shake a tsunami of this magnitude.

However...

Just because he can't shake it doesn't mean others can't.

Hanzō looked up at Akito, waiting for Akito and the others to express their opinions.

"The Land of Fire is, after all, a foreign country... and the country where Konoha is located... It's our right not to help," Pakura said.

Asuka turned her gaze to Akito: "That depends on His Majesty's decision."

Ying nodded. "We'll do whatever Master says."

"Um."

The Akito tightened his collar and fully donned his formal attire.

It was actually just a gorgeous black trench coat, along with a matching inner layer and trousers.
