Chapter 501
The Akito looked at the two immortals who had suddenly appeared.
The embers of the setting sun are fading away.
As the shadows descended, it was as if darkness had swallowed everything in the world.
"We meet again, Emperor of Amegakure, Amakawa Akito."
Sage Fukasaku.
He had an air of otherworldly wisdom and refinement.
To people in this world, it seems to have a profound meaning of enlightenment.
But to the Akito, it was nothing more than a "monster".
Seeing the other person looking down at him, silent and with a disdainful expression, he realized that...
Sage Shima's face fell.
Before she could launch her attack, Sage Fukasaku spoke first, "Your strength is comparable to that of the God of Shinobi, Hashirama Senju, but your killing intent is too heavy; you don't seem like a benevolent ruler."
The Akito smiled coldly, "What happens to me doesn't matter, as long as everyone else lives in peace and prosperity."
When saying this.
The Akito dynasty man exuded an aura of power.
Like a volcano about to erupt.
It was like the dark, oppressive calm before a storm.
"Besides, if you say I'm not a benevolent ruler, then are those daimyo, high-ranking officials, and upper-class ninjas who exploit the people and line their own pockets... truly wise?"
"In the entire Land of Fire, over 90% of the resources are controlled by less than 1% of the population."
"The remaining 99% of the people are forced to fight among themselves for the last scraps. Is this the benevolent ruler you speak of?"
This is a speech.
It was naturally recorded by a camera and broadcast live throughout the entire ninja world.
Although the people of the Five Great Nations remain apathetic.
But even a single spark can start a prairie fire.
The many villains and villainous organizations in the Naruto world.
Many of them awakened because of class oppression.
Although their dreams may be naive, and they may be on the wrong path.
But overall, their emergence propelled the progress of the revolution.
Akito know.
His words would ignite a spark in the ninja world, awakening the people.
The revolutionary predecessors have already paved various paths for them.
They just need to keep following the right path.
Ignoring the Sage Fukasaku.
Akito continued, "Take Konoha as an example again. Your Senju clan monopolizes all training resources."
"Let alone ordinary people not being able to afford school, even for Chunin families, it's like walking on thin ice..."
Chunin are the most numerous rank in the ninja world.
Therefore, theoretically, the number of ninjas should be increasing dramatically every year.
However, this is not the case.
A Chunin family must ensure that no one is harmed in order to afford to send their child to the Ninja Academy.
If this Chunin gets sick, injured, retires, or dies in battle...
Serious problems will arise when the child goes to school.
Many official novels have revealed the economic problems of the Konoha Ninja.
I can't afford to go to school.
I can't afford to see a doctor.
Without blood ties or connections, there's no way to get in through connections.
People like Kakashi were able to receive free, one-on-one treatment from Tsunade.
In contrast, Danzo's treasurer, in the official novel, had a father who was about to die of illness, simply because he came from an ordinary family.
This is the current state of affairs in Konoha, highlighting the disparity between people.
"You monopolize all kinds of resources and oppress ordinary people... The only choice for ordinary people and grassroots ninjas is to become your slaves!"
"You vested interests have the best environment, which you use to build your feudal rule. Then you shout some empty slogans to brainwash the people and make them submit to your oppression."
"Hypocrisy, ruthless and cannibalistic... that's the true face of the Konoha regime!"
"I have given you far too long to reflect and correct your ways, but instead of changing, you have become even worse! So... await your destruction! I will wipe Konoha out completely... leaving not a trace!"
These words
The news spread throughout Konoha in a grand and imposing manner.
It also spread throughout the entire ninja world.
Of the more than 700 million people in the entire ninja world, more than half are listening to the events of today and Akito's declaration through various channels.
And after saying this...
Even Sage Fukasaku and Sage Shima, two beings who had lived for 800 years, were stunned by Akito's "outrageous" remarks.
422. Akito: Tremble before my power!
Silence spread, and as time passed, darkness descended completely.
As shadows fall and night descends.
Even the Sage Fukasaku couldn't figure out how to refute Amakawa Akito.
In the end, it could only resort to the old tricks of shifting the topic and the primary and secondary contradictions.
"You've used all that sweet talk, Your Excellency, but all you want is to annex Konoha. Your ambition is now common knowledge. To protect the village, we will all be willing to sacrifice our lives to stop your evil deeds."
The Sage Fukasaku truly lived for 800 years.
This statement makes no mention of the wealth gap, distribution issues, exploitation, or other contradictions.
Instead, it used a grand narrative as a breakthrough point.
"Sacrifice your lives? Sacrifice them for you upper-class people? As long as the lower-class people work hard enough, you can live in bigger villas, marry more beautiful wives, and squeeze more money and cultivation resources out of them, is that right?"
The Akito's words grew increasingly intense, sharp as needles.
"Countless Konoha Ninja have sacrificed themselves, only to die because of your ambition. I will destroy the Konoha regime and, upon its ruins, establish a new set of rules!"
As he spoke, Akito took a deep breath and raised his voice several octaves.
We aim to ensure that even people with hearing impairments can hear us clearly.
"The Land of Fire does not belong to your Senju clan! It belongs to the 100 million people of the Land of Fire!"
"Even if the entire Senju clan is Senju out, the 100 million people of the Land of Fire will still live their lives, and even live better lives! Just like the sun will rise every day!"
Faced with the words of the Sage Fukasaku, the Akito seized the opportunity to ascend to a higher position.
If the other party tries to shift the blame, then I'll give them a taste of their own medicine!
In just a few words, he pointed out the flaws in Sage Fukasaku's argument.
Sage Fukasaku frowned. "We've only exchanged a few words, and you're already in a hurry. It seems... you're indeed stubbornly clinging to your delusions and deeply mired in darkness."
The Sage Fukasaku shook his head regretfully.
"Then I can only advise you to take care of yourself."
After saying this, the Sage Fukasaku prepared to leave.
"Trying to leave?"
The murderous intent was evident in the eyes of the Akito.
Words spoken are like water spilled; they cannot be taken back.
Do they really think that just because they're 800 years old, they can speak without taking responsibility?
Boom!
He swung his fist.
The terrifying force of the punch swept across the scene.
The power of 80 brings attack power and speed comparable to the Eight Gates Released Formation, the Eighth Gate... Evening Elephant.
A faint, transparent current swept across the scene.
Sage Fukasaku was hit without even having a chance to react.
Boom boom boom...!!!
The Konoha city wall that was hit shattered instantly.
The road collapsed.
Less than a second.
The Sage Fukasaku was blasted 100 meters underground.
Even if it were an immortal who had lived for 800 years, it would have no power to resist this attack.
After a massive, earth-shattering explosion.
Everything... has settled.
The Sage Fukasaku in the deep pit had now completely turned into a lump of mush.
Soon, the stunned Sage Shima came to her senses, and her piercing scream echoed through the night...
A cracked corner of Konoha's city wall.
It was as if it had torn apart the stability of the Konoha regime.
In the time that followed, no one else came to die.
Many Konoha residents fled the village overnight.
And so, Konoha's personnel numbers decreased again.
Tsunade was furious.
But there was nothing they could do.
She had no choice but to talk to the Akito.
--Of course, it was through Shikaku Nara as a mouthpiece.
"Your Majesty, do you really not care about your image in the eyes of the people?"
As dawn approached.
Shikaku Nara, pale-faced, appeared before Akito once again.
At this moment... there is less than an hour left in the countdown to the destruction of Konoha.
He was referring to the Akito dynasty's public broadcast of a killing.
"Does not streaming the event mean there will be no killing?"
Akito countered with a question.
"Live broadcasts, newspapers, magazines... I will use all media. Only by letting everyone see this scene will they understand the power of our Amegakure Alliance!"
"Politicians, families, criminals..."
