Chapter 467

The Akito casually offered Gaara a warning.

The problem isn't with us, it's with the world.

The world needs to change.

"Your Sunagakure is also among our targets for revenge. You haven't forgotten the invasion of our Amegakure back then, have you?"

The Akito pointed to Gaara.

"The matter of Pakura hasn't been completely resolved yet. Those who plotted against him back then, including the elders of Sunagakure, will be held accountable..."

Gaara... stop talking!

Kankuro shouted.

"If he could have been persuaded, Naruto Uzumaki would have done it already..."

In the original work, Kankuro was the first to realize the power of talk-no-jutsu.

In the manga, Fourth Great Ninja War, Kankuro single-handedly caused Sasori to ascend to heaven.

He gestured to Gaara, indicating that his words were useless.

"..."

Gaara remained silent.

But he still had something he wanted to express.

Hatred creates nothing...

"So, when your Sunagakure invaded us, why didn't you say 'hatred creates nothing'?"

The Akito questioned him.

"Now that we're seeking revenge, you're starting to talk about letting go of our hatred and telling us to be good people? What about you?"

"..."

Gaara remained silent.

Then... silent tears streamed down her face.

Because he knew it was a dead end.

Even if people understand each other, some things in this world still go in a bad direction.

Just like a wheel, once inertia is added, it will travel a much farther...

Just like the scene before my eyes.

An understanding was reached with Amakawa Akito.

I understand your thoughts.

You understand my thoughts.

But it still couldn't change anything...

388. Sasuke, your mother is with Amakawa Akito Tenkawa.

"By the way, where's the Hokage?"

Mei Terumi quickly changed the subject, defusing the awkward atmosphere.

Hokage?

The sensory ninjas present, hope and Qing, immediately began to determine their location.

"First floor!"

Qing, who had the Byakugan, immediately shouted.

"The Hokage's two bodyguards are fighting Sasuke Uchiha."

As for Danzo himself...

It seems to be breaking the seal on his right arm.

"Wait... watch out!"

Qing immediately warned.

Sizzle!!

With a flash of lightning and a clap of thunder, a beam of blue-white Chakra pierced through the floor beneath everyone's feet, slicing across the second floor like a sharp blade.

Clearly, this move is Sasuke's "Chidori Sharp Spear".

The attack, with a maximum range of tens of meters, is like a long sword, cleaving everything in two.

The second floor began to collapse.

Gravel fell in droves.

Through the gap, people could see what the first floor looked like.

"Sasuke Uchiha..."

Danzo's gaze swept across the scene.

They saw Akito and the others on the second floor.

"Your father Fugaku Uchiha, was killed by Amakawa Akito..."

He said.

"Furthermore, your brother Itachi said... your mother Mikoto Uchiha, is still alive, but... she was kidnapped by that man."

Danzo should have only known about the previous news.

The only contact after that was made between Itachi and the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, during a secret meeting following the massacre of their clan.

But as Danzo Acting Hokage, he unearthed many secrets that only the Hokage knew in the past.

Some things have come to light again.

This includes Itachi telling Hiruzen Sarutobi that he wanted to join Akatsuki, that he was infiltrating there to monitor them... and the fact that his mother, Mikoto Uchiha, was actually kidnapped by Amakawa Akito.

"!"

Sasuke, his spirits lifted, followed Danzo's gaze.

Then, through the gap, their eyes met those of the Akito on the second floor.

"Heaven... River... Bright... Man...!!"

Like the whispers of hell.

Upon learning that his mother had been kidnapped and might still be alive, Sasuke's mind was in turmoil.

"Is what Shimura Danzō said true?!"

Sasuke shouted a question.

Sasuke Uchiha, male, 16 years old... almost 17.

As the second male lead in the Naruto world, he actually follows the template of a tragic male protagonist to some extent.

The manga ends with Naruto Uzumaki "persuading" him, which is similar to the morally questionable "forgiveness" endings of some domestic TV series.

In other words... no matter how awful the woman/man is, the male/female lead will always end up with him, and the honest man will ultimately bear the brunt of everything in this tragic ending.

Sasuke sometimes gets blinded by hatred.

But most of the time they are very shrewd.

For example, you could go to Orochihime's location, level up, and then leave.

For example, when he joined Obito, he actually used Akatsuki as a training ground, and tricked him into giving him the Eternal Eye. The moment he regained it, he killed White Zetsu and betrayed Obito Uchiha, but was stopped by Kakashi and Minato Namikaze.

It can be said that from beginning to end, Sasuke demonstrated an extremely high level of pragmatism, questioning spirit, and independent thinking ability.

Just like now.

Obito Uchiha told him that the massacre of the clan was forced upon Itachi by the Konoha High Command.

He said Sasuke was shouting that he wanted to destroy Konoha.

In reality, he first confronted Danzo and questioned him to clarify the Danzo before making his move.

Instead of Naruto Uzumaki's mindless roaring, "When I get angry, I unleash the Nine-Tails, Nine-Tails is online to boost my power!"

Faced with Sasuke's questioning.

Akito said calmly, "That guy only told you half of what he knew."

What's the meaning?

Sasuke straightened his face, realizing he might have been deceived.

His intelligence was on full display.

Overall, Sasuke's life trajectory, apart from being brainwashed by the Will of Fire and confessing his crimes at the end, was that of a pretty normal young man.

In other words...

Before being talked into submission, Nagato was quite normal.

Yes, and Neji from the original work too.

"Go back and ask that guy, and Shimura Danzō too," Akito said calmly.

"..."

Sasuke remained silent for a moment, then finally decided to deal with Shimura Danzō first.

Because at least this old guy in front of us forced Itachi to confirm this from the conversation.

Sasuke decides... to kill Shimura Danzō completely as the beginning of his revenge!

Upon seeing Sasuke, they immediately shifted their target.

Danzo, who was trying to shift the blame, frowned.

Then, on a sudden inspiration, he used the "Kotoamatsukami" technique hidden under the bandage on his right cheek.

This short-lived Kotoamatsukami only possesses the ability to control and disrupt for a short period of time.

It cannot be compared to Kotoamatsukami, which can only be used once every 10 years [inside Naruto's body] but can permanently control others.

However... it's sufficient for this moment.

So, Danzo silently aimed Kotoamatsukami at Sasuke.

"Kill... Amakawa Akito!"

Danzo issued the order.

Then, in everyone's eyes, Sasuke suddenly looked at Akito again and launched an attack on Akito.

Many years ago... the death of Shisui Uchiha was mentioned in Itachi's report.

Danzo naturally knew that the Akito had methods to resist the Kotoamatsukami's Genjutsu.

Therefore, he didn't foolishly use Kotoamatsukami to deal with Akito.

Instead, he directly used Kotoamatsukami to control Sasuke, making Sasuke fight against Akito.

"?!"

Everyone looked completely bewildered.

I have absolutely no idea what happened.

Only Mei Terumi and the other two suddenly realized something.

"Green!"

"Yes... Lord Mizukage! Byakugan!"

Qing immediately Hand Seals and began to observe Danzo's body.

He soon discovered something.

"Everyone...! The color of the Chakra within Shimura Danzō is the same as that of Shisui Uchiha. I've fought him before, there's no mistake!"
