Chapter 412
"I see. Then I'll return it to you."
Deidara controlled the clay Asuka, which gracefully circled once.
They threw Gaara's body down from a height of hundreds of meters.
And the direction and location of the throw.
This is precisely where the Shadow of Darkness resides.
He wanted to see how these two groups would clean up the mess.
What will be the outcome when a terrifyingly powerful emperor faces the sacrificial power of the Nine-Tails?
"Oh no... if he manages to kill the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki..."
Deidara suddenly remembered.
The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki was also Akatsuki's target.
What if he were killed by the emperor?
That means it will be several months, several years, or even 10 years before we see the Nine-Tails, which is reborn irregularly, again.
This has a significant impact on the organization's plans.
However, what Deidara didn't know was...
The Akito had no intention of killing Crown Prince Naruto.
Gaara's body fell, crashing to the ground with a loud thud.
Even as a corpse, his blunt resistance remained off the charts, despite his Kage Level strength.
Falling from hundreds of meters in the sky only made him look a bit dustier.
The dark shadow standing beside the pit showed neither sorrow nor joy.
He held the puppet core in his left hand and the Seven-Tails Jinchūriki in his right.
The next second.
The dark shadow soared into the sky and flew away into the distance.
The first step is to transport the puppet core back to Amegakure.
Next, Fu was returned to Ryugakure Village.
The Dark Shadow copied by Pain naturally does not possess the true abilities of the Dark Shadow.
After all, a fake is just a fake.
No matter how similar they may look, they are only similar.
So.
Without the enemy's shadow, it becomes stuck in a malfunctioning state.
But Naruto Uzumaki was unaware of this.
He roared and lunged at the fake shadow of darkness.
He swore.
Gaara back from Amakawa Akito!
"He looks like an idiot..."
Ying stood on the tree trunk, gazing at the scene from a distance.
Naruto Uzumaki acted like an idiot from beginning to end.
Watching him rush headlong into the fake shadow of darkness like a fool, Ying was speechless.
"Even a fool is the most powerful fool."
The Akito himself spoke calmly from the side.
Just as Naruto Uzumaki was outwitting the air dummy...
Chiyo and Sakura also moved Gaara's body back.
They discovered... Gaara was dead.
The grief did not last long.
Chiyo used the S-rank One's Own Life Reincarnation Technique, originally prepared for her grandson Sasori, but she used it on Gaara instead.
In an instant, Gaara came back to life.
He was resurrected from a dead state.
Unlike in the original story, Chiyo doesn't consume any Chakra, so she doesn't need anyone else to provide it.
Therefore, Chiyo completed the resurrection ritual all by herself.
Gaara slowly woke up.
With the dummy's defeat, Naruto Uzumaki finally realized something was wrong.
Did I... only defeat a clone?
Let's go.
Akito, who had already taken back Rin Nohara, also planned to leave.
"What a pity..."
Ying sighed.
She didn't have a chance to make a move.
"It will happen..." Akito said calmly.
While Akito and Ying were resting at an inn.
Rin Nohara also appeared silently.
Ying's eyes widened instantly, revealing her attention.
Who exactly is this mysterious fellow?
Ying couldn't help but feel curious about Rin Nohara's identity.
The Akito, however, had already begun planning their next move.
The following plot unfolds.
It was Obito Uchiha, who went by the alias "Tobi," found Sasori's ring, became a new member, and formed a partnership with Deidara.
Then...
The Tenchi Bridge Incident will occur.
Yamato [Tenzo] Sai will join Team 7.
Next up is Orochihime vs. Crown Prince Naruto the Four-Tails.
Crown Prince Naruto finally met Sasuke.
But since Scorpion was defeated by himself, will they still be able to reach the Tenchi Bridge?
It's not a big problem; we just need to let out a little bit of word and information.
Presumably, Orochihime would also be somewhat interested in Jinchūriki.
After all, the Akatsuki Organization's goal was to collect the Nine Tailed Beasts.
They have already begun taking action and sealed three of them.
Orochihime would be interested in just how dangerous this power is...
She will use the power of the Tailed Beast to assess future prospects.
This battle destroyed Akatsuki's stronghold.
They might choose a different location next time, or they might not.
Naruto Uzumaki grows stronger step by step.
Our strength will enter a period of rapid growth.
It surged upwards at an abnormal speed.
The time when I will personally take action against him will be drawing ever closer.
This means that...
Ying's strength also needs to increase by leaps and bounds.
Otherwise, she would be quickly overtaken by Crown Prince Naruto.
This may not sound like a big deal, but it means that the theory of bloodline will begin to gain the upper hand.
Therefore... further enhancing Ying's strength is what Akito plans to do.
Ying's inner darkness stems from her love for herself.
As long as you repeatedly use psychological manipulation on her.
Her inner strength will continue to surge.
In addition, the scorpion sent back to the Black Building has already been studied by his cheap master, Shinnō.
In a completely enclosed environment.
Scorpions will be thoroughly studied...
This set the tone for the rest of the trip.
Akito looked at Ying and decided to continue with the PUA (Pick-Up Artist) tactics.
"Ying, about my marriage, which you mentioned before... I've been thinking about it carefully these past few days..."
The Akito spoke calmly.
Ying froze instantly, completely focused on listening.
"How many eligible women are around you? What do you think of them?"
The Akito named several people, including Asuka.
He began to provoke her in a flat tone.
"Ying... Ying...?"
"Huh?!"
After Akito said a few words, Ying was momentarily dazed, so much so that she didn't hear the first few sentences.
333. Marching Towards Immortality
Sixteen years old is the most beautiful age.
As one of the top combatants in Amegakure, Ying maintained a high level of training.
She is also a female ninja idol from the Land of Rain Pan-Alliance.
Ying's figure, appearance, and makeup are all top-notch.
Her exceptional qualities have earned her a massive following of admirers.
Countless people, young and old, men and women, admire Ying.
It can be said that...
Ying is an absolutely super popular girl.
However, in order to improve her strength, Akito believed that they should continue to use psychological manipulation on her.
Because reality is harsh and cruel.
Crown Prince Naruto wasn't the only one whose strength was rapidly increasing; Sasuke was too.
After three years of instruction from Orochihime.
