Chapter 396
"According to intelligence, the tsunami will affect at least 40 kilometers of coastline, and cannot be mitigated by conventional means."
Shinnō smiled slightly.
He knew that his disciple, who was about to become emperor, had already made his decision.
"I can try to stop it myself."
"That's what Akito said calmly."
When those words were spoken, the entire hall fell silent.
Where's the host? And the cameraman?
Akito waved.
The two people immediately came over.
The official host of the Land of Rain was slightly taken aback, then asked, "Your Majesty, do you mean... you have a way to stop the tsunami from the Land of Fire?"
As the camera was turned on.
The live stream has started.
The coronation ceremony took place much earlier than expected.
The recording of interviews about gossip and celebrity news has also become the main venue for interviews with Akito.
Now.
Suddenly, everyone in the ninja world discovered that the program being broadcast live on the Land of Rain TV station had turned into an interview with Akito.
"The tsunami reached a height of over 500 meters and possessed immense energy, surpassing any S-rank Water Release Ninjutsu..."
The faces of Akito appeared on television.
For the first time, people throughout the ninja world came to know this emperor of the Land of Rain Alliance.
"This tsunami will impact the coastline of the Land of Fire, causing at least hundreds of thousands of deaths and injuries... The losses to port economies, tourist destinations... and many other things are incalculable."
The interview is in progress.
The heads of state also stopped what they were doing and started watching television programs.
Tsunade, Ōnoki, Raikage A, Mei Terumi Sunagakure, upper-class Sunagakure members...
Those in high positions of power, though scattered across the country, are now acting in an unexpectedly unified manner.
And in a post station.
Naruto Uzumaki was eating there.
He stopped eating, looked up, and stared at the television in the living room.
Jiraiya watching closely.
At the same time, even in the distant Otogakure.
Sasuke, who was training, was summoned by Kabuto Yakushi.
Kimimaro, Orochihime, Kabuto, Sasuke, and others stared at the television screen in the dark room, awaiting the change in the ninja world...
"Everyone."
On the television screen, Amakawa Akito continued speaking.
"Many people may wonder, 'I am from the Land of Rain, why should I concern myself with the life and death of the Land of Fire...'"
"The answer is simple, because... my goal is to conquer the entire ninja world, and in my view, the people of the Land of Fire will naturally be my people in the future..."
This is a perfectly reasonable statement from Akito.
The reactions varied.
Ōnoki gave a cold laugh.
Ai looked serious.
Tsunade frowned.
Naruto Uzumaki started yelling, and with his slow reaction time, he finally recognized Akito on TV.
"My enemy is Konoha, and also Konoha ruling class. The lower classes are not my enemies."
"That's what Akito said calmly."
"To the common people, it doesn't matter who the emperor is; it's just a change of regime. Because... in times of prosperity, the people suffer. In times of ruin, the people suffer."
"This is the eternal truth of the ninja world, which has remained unchanged for the past 1000 years."
"However, I, Amakawa Akito, am determined to change this situation and shatter this corrupt old world!"
317. Konoha High Command and Cattle, Horses, and Leeks
"I previously had my subordinates investigate the Land of Fire."
"In the entire country, 1% of the population controls over 90% of the wealth. And this 1% consists of the high-ranking officials and nobles of Konohagakure and the Land of Fire. Ordinary people and commoners can only access 10% of the resources."
"99% of people are busy distributing the remaining 10% of the waste."
"1% of people control 90% of the resources!!"
"Even if ordinary people struggle their whole lives, they will always be beasts of burden, with no hope of ever getting ahead."
That brings us to this.
The upper echelons of the various ninja nations reacted in different ways.
Some countries immediately cut off the broadcasts to prevent their citizens from "awakening."
Some countries have also declared that Amakawa Akito is an evil leader.
Even worse, in addition to cutting off all television lines for the public, they also plan to establish a blockade to block any television broadcasts from the outside world.
However, this did not prevent the voices of the Akito from continuing.
"The vested interests occupy most of the country's resources, which they then use to oppress ordinary people, while hypocritically boasting of various wills. They constantly warn you that you lack the Will of Fire."
The Akito sneered.
"The nation I'm about to establish will encompass the entire ninja world, creating a nation that, while not absolutely fair, will certainly be far more just than the current nations!"
"I'm going to rescue the ordinary people on the eastern coast of the Land of Fire."
"And four years from now, I will destroy Konoha. On the ruins of Konoha, I will establish a brand new regime!"
"At that time, all the Land of Fire will be my subjects! You will live a life ten times, a hundred times better than you do now!!"
"Of course, if the ninjas of Konoha want to stop me and prevent me from destroying the tsunami, then... come on!!!"
After saying this, Akito nodded, indicating that he was about to depart.
The host and everyone else were stunned.
Clearly, what the Akito said was... far too forward-thinking.
It's not something they can fully understand.
"Hmph hmph hmph..."
Shinnō smiled with delight upon hearing this.
Having come this far, this disciple is now about to ascend the throne as king.
The next step is to destroy Konoha.
To be honest, I'm really looking forward to the day he mentioned.
"Your Majesty, the enthronement ceremony is about to begin."
The host, realizing what had happened, immediately ran over, looking completely bewildered.
"Let's postpone the coronation ceremony. Saving lives is the priority now. Don't worry... it won't take more than a few minutes."
Akito finished speaking, he soared into the sky.
Amidst the gasps of the foreign guests, it shot off into the distance like a shooting star...
The camera, of course, faithfully recorded this scene.
"Damn it!!"
This post station in the Land of Fire.
Naruto Uzumaki screamed.
Seeing Amakawa Akito on television, casually insulting the Will of Fire and Konoha.
Naruto is furious!
"Why... how could someone like that become the leader of several countries?!"
Naruto Uzumaki thought to himself.
It must be that Amakawa Akito used violence to threaten everyone for them to act this way.
"Naruto, watch your words."
Jiraiya, however, spoke with a serious expression.
"After all, this Amakawa Akito is the emperor of the Land of Rain Pan-Alliance. He has at least three countries backing him."
Amakawa Akito transformed from a ninja.
He became a person of noble renown.
In that case, it will be very difficult to harm him.
From now on, even Tsunade will have to bow and greet him properly when she sees him.
And this is the transformation of political identity.
"However, there will be a way..."
A glint flashed in Jiraiya's eyes.
We'll spend three years training Naruto first.
Once he becomes a capable ninja, he will go to Amegakure to gather intelligence and then use that opportunity to assassinate Amakawa Akito!
For Konoha.
Even a daimyo [emperor]... can be killed!!
Jiraiya's expression instantly turned ferocious and terrifying.
"I won't let that guy destroy Konoha. Before that happens... I'll kill him first!"
"Perverted Sage, let's set off immediately for the eastern coastline of the Land of Fire!"
Naruto Uzumaki his hand on the table.
I plan to go and see if Amakawa Akito is really as he said.
"Hmm, this is a good opportunity..."
Jiraiya stroked his chin.
Once again... a great opportunity to witness the power of Amakawa Akito.
As the master and apprentice set off for the eastern coastline of the Land of Fire...
Tsunade walked along the corridor on the shore, followed by a large group of people Shikaku Nara.
Soon.
The Land of Fire also had cameras ready to record Tsunade's speech.
"Everyone!"
Facing the camera lens, Tsunade adopted a righteous and indignant demeanor.
