Chapter 418

With absolute power, Ying declared her status.

Only below the emperor and Demigod.

The number one female ninja of Amegakure!

At that moment, the naive Ying believed that as long as she became the strongest, she would receive the most favor from her master...

338. The Tenchi Bridge, Sasuke Three Years Later

The duel between Ying and Pakura ended with Ying's victory.

Pakura sustained minor injuries, but nothing serious.

At the same time, Shibuki, the Ryugakure Village, had also spent a full week in Amegakure, gaining a thorough understanding of the Amegakure's development.

The signing of the vassal state agreement proceeded smoothly and without hindrance.

Early morning.

Shibuki Daimyo of the Land of Ryu.

Two important figures met with the emperor at the same time.

Ying stood beside Akito, her indifferent demeanor proclaiming her unshakeable position.

She defeated Pakura and stood at the pinnacle of all female ninjas.

This meant he had become the strongest member of the emperor's guards.

Looking at the entire Amegakure Alliance.

Her strength is already among the best.

The dark side is ten times stronger.

At this moment, Ying's "Phase One: PUA Plan" has come to an end.

Today, the Tenchi Bridge incident is about to unfold.

This was precisely the result of Ying's improved strength in actual combat against Crown Prince Naruto.

"Therefore, from today onwards, the Land of Ryu will join the Pan-Alliance of the Land of Rain and become a vassal state."

With a wave of his hand, the Akito official...

Another country has been brought under its control.

Certainly.

For the Five Great Nations, this alliance is fragile and unstable.

They didn't think the Land of Rain's petty actions were meaningful.

Small states like Land of Ryu also had their own agendas.

However, they were unaware of this.

The "absorption spell barrier" covering the territory has been imprinted within the borders of all vassal states.

As long as the Akito actively activate the barrier.

All the vassal states will instantly become paradise on earth.

Not long after.

Akito took Ying to the Land of Grass.

In a valley where a gentle breeze blows.

Akito spotted the Konoha Team 7, who were lurking in the area.

And... Orochihime.

Just like the name "Tiandiqiao" (Tenchi Bridge).

The suspension bridge spans both ends of the cliff.

Below is a bottomless cliff.

Now...

Kakashi, Sakura, Yamato, Naruto, Sai... five people.

It was hidden in the woods.

Staring intently at Kimimaro, Kabuto, Orochihime, and... Sasuke as they passed by!!!

As for why Kakashi is here too...

It's because things didn't turn out like in the original story... that he used Kamui several times during his fight with Deidara and ended up in a hospital due to overexertion... that kind of thing didn't happen.

So, the lively Kakashi also came along.

However, the four members of the new Team 7 were completely unaware of this.

At this moment, their every move was under Orochihime's control.

The venomous snakes that slithered through the forest knew everything about Team 7.

"Sasuke..."

Sakura and Naruto Uzumaki whispered Sasuke's name.

Both of them wanted to rush out as soon as possible.

However, at Kakashi and Yamato's prompting, the two could only remain silent and watch Sasuke and his group slowly crossed the Tenchi Bridge.

"At the very least... we need to find their hideout."

Kakashi said with a serious expression.

Only in this way can we prevent them from escaping.

Clatter

Orochihime suddenly stopped in her tracks.

"What's wrong?" Sasuke asked.

"Heh heh, we have an uninvited guest."

Orochihime laughed.

She turned around.

Just when Kakashi and the others thought Orochihime was about to attack...

Orochihime looked in another direction.

"Am I right, Emperor Amegakure... Amakawa Akito?"

Team 7: "!!!"

Two figures suddenly descended from the sky and landed in front of Orochihime.

Floating in the air, it looked down at the four people.

A hint of pressure flashed across Sasuke's previously calm face.

No way.

Although three years have passed.

But the terrifying scene at that time, and the strength that Amakawa Akito displayed, still weighed on him like a mountain.

"Hehehe, I didn't know the Emperor had graced us with his presence. What brings you here?"

Orochihime asked calmly, but her eyes were full of wariness.

After all, 10 days ago, using the Magic Lantern Body Technique, he witnessed Sasori of the Red Sands being brutally beaten to a pulp in one of the Akatsuki Organization's hideouts in southern Land of Rivers.

That power, unparalleled among humans and comparable to that of a second God of Shinobi, left a deep sense of dread in Orochihime's heart.

"Watch your tone, Orochihime."

Ying said coldly.

They believe Orochihime is being sarcastic or mocking.

"Hehe."

Orochihime looked at Ying, her killing intent radiating.

I thought to myself, my respect for Amakawa Akito doesn't mean I have to respect you, little girl.

Times change.

At this time, Ying was not as strong as Orochihime had been when Valley of the End.

And Orochihime is certainly not the same Orochihime as before...

Both sides have trump cards up their sleeves, and their strength has increased rapidly.

Akito noticed that Orochihime had a hint of smugness on her face.

Clearly, they've discovered a new killer move.

So, what is it?

An enhanced Impure World Reincarnation?

This is only natural.

It's impossible for Orochihime to do nothing for three years.

She must have... improved everything.

"It's nothing, I'm just here to watch the show," Akito said casually. "Of course, if anyone's willing to clash with me, I don't mind making a scene..."

"Amakawa Akito!!!"

The next second.

A roar interrupted their conversation.

Naruto Uzumaki could no longer bear it and jumped out of the bushes.

On his frantic run, he completed the Nine-Tails Chakra transformation.

No more pretense, let's get right into the swing of things.

With the Tailed Beast Cloak covering it.

One, two, three.

When he ran up to the Akito, his tail had already turned into four.

"Oh? You've improved."

The Akito, observing this scene, remarked.

Naruto Uzumaki, with four tails, maintained his "Orange Tailed Beast Cloak" state.

It did not go berserk and Partial Tailed Beast Transformation.

He revealed sharp teeth, his pupils turned vertical, his limbs became sharp, yet he possessed self-awareness.

It's a step up from the original work.

This is the effect of the butterfly effect.

"..."

Sasuke stared at Naruto Uzumaki with a blank expression.

Three years ago, Chunin Ninja Exams, there was that scene, the question posed by the girl from Amegakure.

That was enough for Sasuke to understand what kind of person Naruto Uzumaki was.

"Sasuke!!!"

Naruto Uzumaki shouted.

Sasuke, why were you unmoved when you saw me?
