Chapter 404
Ying asked.
All work has now been temporarily completed.
What's the next step...?
"Go to the 'Land of Rivers'," said Akito.
"The Land of Rivers?"
Ying thought for a moment.
Is this the headquarters of the Akatsuki organization?
"That's right." Akito nodded. "The Akatsuki Organization should have already begun capturing the Tailed Beast."
To ensure the plot proceeds smoothly.
The Akito decided to go and take a look.
The butterfly effect caused by his self-proclamation as emperor may change many things.
"Ying, you're coming with me this time."
More manpower means less trouble.
"Yes!"
Ying immediately agreed; she was more than happy to accept.
Being able to act alongside her master was the happiest thing for her.
In fact...
Hotaru's existence also serves as a testing ground for Naruto Uzumaki's power.
Whether or not I should participate.
It depends on Naruto Uzumaki, and also on Hotaru's performance.
If Naruto Uzumaki is too weak.
It's pointless to bully the weak when you're already powerful.
He wouldn't make a move until Naruto Uzumaki and Hotaru were evenly matched.
Just like last time, when Naruto Uzumaki unleashed four tails.
"This time... are we going there immediately?" Ying prepared to leave.
"No."
The Akito shook his head.
"Just walk there slowly."
Because the Amegakure Anbu, who were lurking in Sunagakure, had not yet sent back news of Gaara's death.
Therefore, just walk over slowly.
Consider this journey a reward for Ying's hard work over the past three years.
I'll also take the opportunity to use PUA tactics on her again, to increase her power and my favorability.
Ying happily followed behind Akito.
The two quickly and secretly left Amegakure...
And because of the Akito's past construction.
Even without Akito, the entire Amegakure Alliance can still operate in an orderly manner...
At the same time.
Naruto Uzumaki has returned to Konoha.
Three years later, he stood on the telephone pole, filled with emotion.
Then, he greeted Sakura and the others, whom he hadn't seen for several years.
Then he began sparring with Kakashi...
On the other side...
The remote Sunagakure.
Sasori of the Red Sands and Deidara, the Akatsuki Organization duo, quietly approached the entrance to Sunagakure...
325. Ying's heart is stirred with spring fever, but Akito is busy attacking Rin Nohara.
Three years have passed.
Many things have changed.
Gaara rose through the ranks step by step, eventually becoming the Kazekage.
Kakashi was finally able to activate his already awakened Mangekyō Sharingan. The Mangekyō Sharingan fed back into him, causing Kakashi's abilities to skyrocket.
He overtook the elderly Hiruzen Sarutobi and rose to the Kage Level.
With the addition of the Mangekyō Dōjutsu "Kamui," his combat power surges dramatically.
His fighting power at this time has surpassed that of Obito Uchiha during the Nine-Tails' Attack.
The official guidebook even shows that Kakashi's "blank" stats are almost on par with those of the legendary Sannin Jiraiya.
This fully demonstrates the powerful effect of the Mangekyō Sharingan in nourishing the human body.
At this time.
Akito and Ying have left the Land of Rain and are passing by an inn.
It got dark.
The master and apprentice entered the restaurant.
Let's begin our meal.
After the meal, Akito went upstairs and asked for a room.
Ying entered the room and began to take a shower.
What she longed for was a chance to be alone with her master.
As she thought about it, her cheeks flushed.
Despite being adored by countless fans and being an idol, all she did was to attract her master's attention.
Even if there were countless platoons of simps, she would still disdain them.
After showering, Ying dried her hair and looked at herself in the mirror.
"Very good..."
He nodded vigorously, combed his hair, and made sure his appearance was flawless.
She opened the door and went to the next room, where her master was also staying.
At this moment.
The Akito was in his inn when he summoned a coffin.
As ripples appeared, the coffin slowly emerged.
Then, the coffin opened like a wardrobe, and a member of the Anbu stepped out.
And this member of the Anbu was Rin Nohara.
As a member of the Amegakure's Anbu organization.
For the past three years, Rin Nohara has served as Akito's experimental subject.
The Akito conducted numerous experiments on Rin Nohara.
She wouldn't die, and she wouldn't feel pain; without a doubt, Rin Nohara was the perfect test subject.
Three years ago.
The Akito bestowed upon Rin Nohara Dark Chakra Formula.
A controlling force arose within her.
Rin Nohara's every move will be forcibly controlled by her—if necessary.
Under Akito's experiment, Rin Nohara, who was deceased, was no longer bound by her original strength.
Her condition has changed.
Dark Chakra can enhance Rin Nohara's overall strength.
Let her transcend her past life.
But this is still not enough to use Rin Nohara as a combatant.
After all, her values, upbringing, and education are all geared towards supportive and medical purposes.
Impure World Reincarnation is a very strange thing.
The infinite Chakra, like a perpetual motion machine, is an amazing concept.
This served as leverage in the later confrontations with Kakashi and Obito Uchiha.
Rin Nohara's existence can be considered as a hidden pawn.
As for Rin Nohara's wishes...
That's not the point.
Rin Nohara is a hero, a hero who would sacrifice herself for Konoha.
In other words...
She would give up her own life to protect the Will of Fire.
To some extent.
He also shares similarities with Jiraiya, Shimura Danzō Tobirama Senju, Itachi Uchiha, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and others.
Both places the existence of individuals and a minority under the shadow of Konoha.
Having undergone the deepest internal questioning.
I'm afraid... for the sake of the village, even close friends and family would be killed, and Rin Nohara is capable of doing the same.
It's just that they haven't been pushed to that point yet, so it hasn't manifested itself for the time being.
And this is the Will of Fire.
So, no Akito could count on Mingren; he easily outwitted Rin Nohara with just a few words.
Then Rin Nohara burst into tears, declaring that she would betray the Will of Fire and serve him...
That kind of thing is impossible.
After all, this isn't a typical "Dragon Overlord" novel.
The improved new "Zero-Tails" is beginning to reveal its brand-new appearance.
There's no way around it, Akito still wants to complain that his cheap master Shinnō's aesthetic sense... is really not good.
Many years later.
Akito perfected the Dark Chakra Formula and successfully modified the appearance of the Zero-Tails.
Accompanying changes in the appearance, volume, and size of the Zero-Tails.
It's a difference in ability.
Tailed Beast, Moryo... these things serve as excellent references.
In my previous life, I was a citizen of the Celestial Empire.
