Chapter 527
Because that kind of thing is far less important than the current situation.
Hanzō, Asuka, Hotaru, Hiruko, Ichi, Ni, San, Shinnō, Hizashi Hyuga... They all raised their hands and began to write down their names.
These actions naturally attracted the attention of Konoha.
Naruto Uzumaki didn't understand what the other person was doing.
People from Konoha were constantly being sent to Mount Myōboku, but the bewildered crowd had no idea what the future held.
The referendum results came out quickly.
The final shortlist consists of four people.
Ying, Asuka, Hanzō, Shinnō.
These four individuals have the potential to participate in emergency situations during wartime by exercising the authority of a "second person".
Next, the final list will be determined from among the four.
Even if Akito is not here, the plan to "destroy Konoha" will continue.
This will ensure that the entire Konoha is truly wiped out.
Thus, the entire "Land of Fire" will be brought under our control!
A ballot box was taken out.
Soon, the four pieces of paper were placed into the box in front of everyone.
That's right, the second round of voting was a random draw.
This selection process, which may seem to rely on luck, can completely prevent nepotism and other such practices.
The person who draws the label will become the "second person".
With the order of the four people determined by luck, the final result was quickly revealed.
"..."
Asuka showed the label in her hand.
"I am the second."
"Hmph!" Upon learning of this result, Ying snorted coldly, feeling dissatisfied but having no choice but to abide by the rules.
Hanzō's lips curled slightly upwards, a half-smile playing on his lips.
Shinnō maintained a cheerful expression. "The results are all random, fair and just. Since Asuka is second, from now on, before we completely destroy Konoha, we will accept her instructions and leadership."
Then.
Everyone turned their attention to the Asuka.
It wasn't just about asking her what to do next.
It also grants the exclusive authority of the second-in-command.
"Now, I'm going to perform the spell."
The Asuka Hand Seals, activating the backup spell.
The distant Land of Rain.
Amidst the storm and turmoil.
Pakura stood on the top floor of the building, overlooking the entire village.
When the emperor was away, she diligently managed the village, preventing any unrest from occurring.
Ringo Ameyuri, Juzo Biwa, and the others also took their places, guarding the village they helped build day and night.
This is everyone's home, a place of belonging, and an existence built brick by brick.
Therefore, everyone loves Amegakure.
"Um?!"
Suddenly, Pakura looked up at the sky as if he had sensed something.
After watching for a while, she murmured, "Has it begun...?"
An invisible Spherical Sensory Barrier enveloped Amegakure.
At the "core" of the barrier lies the second spell, which has remained unused for many years.
At this moment... it was stirred by the power of the Asuka.
People come and go on the street.
Without them even realizing it, their negative emotions were being peeled away, one by one...
Each person has only one strand.
But... what if it were the entire Amegakure, the entire Land of Rain?
For ordinary people, it's just that the bad moods of today, yesterday, or even this week, this month, or this year are taken away.
And when this number accumulates to 20 million...
It became an extremely terrifying dimension.
The extraction array, operating on a national scale, has begun operation; preparations for it had been underway for many years.
We are just waiting for the right opportunity to use it.
Today is the perfect opportunity to test this policy.
This... is the second source of authority and power that can be obtained.
Do the enemy think that our country would be paralyzed and unable to function without an emperor?
Without bloodlines, is it impossible to create top-tier experts?
Just because His Majesty the Emperor is not here, you think you can turn the tables?
Clearly, this is a flawed bias.
A vast expanse of 20 million strands of negative emotions, spanning thousands of miles.
Finally... it befell the Asuka.
Her power began to rise from that point.
As the first eligible candidate.
Even the Akito never experienced the blessing of this power.
At this moment, however, because of the rules of fairness and justice, it was ultimately the Asuka who exercised them.
Thump!
An astonishing aura emanated from the Asuka.
The energy was pitch black, as vast and raging as the ocean.
It wasn't just the Amegakure members who witnessed this.
The people of Konoha couldn't help but look over, and soon their expressions changed drastically, their eyes trembling violently.
Today, no less.
At this very moment.
A new powerhouse has been born.
Roar~~~~!!
A jet-black Chinese dragon... also known as the new Zero-Tails, coiled around Asuka, its Red Eye screeching.
Its enormous body and sharp claws, along with its immense power, swept across the sky above Konoha, inspiring awe and reverence.
After appearing for a second, Zero-Tails turned into black smoke and returned to Asuka's body.
Having completed its power absorption, the Asuka slowly opened its strange eyes.
His black sclera and scarlet eyes swept across the scene.
"Besides His Majesty's previous demands to capture the Hokage alive and spare Naruto Uzumaki... everything within my sight... not a single piece of armor will be left standing!"
With a wave of the Asuka's hand.
The crowd surged forward like arrows.
A new wave of destruction... has begun...
448. Leave me alone, and thousands will rise up.
"That is..."
Naruto Uzumaki and the others looked up at the giant black dragon soaring into the sky, and were momentarily confused.
But one thing is certain.
That astonishing amount of Chakra was practically as massive as Tailed Beast!
20 million doses of negative spiritual energy.
This results in such an exaggerated effect.
Even just by looking at it with the naked eye, one could understand how terrifying it was, even without being a sensory ninja.
The black dragon vanished, turning into black mist.
The Amegakure ninjas scattered and launched a surprise attack in this direction.
When the first person fell dead.
The Konoha Village finally realized something was wrong.
Soon, roars and screams echoed all around.
The low-ranking ninjas and ordinary people who came out of the underground shelter were completely wiped out.
"Hateful."
Seeing this, Naruto Uzumaki was extremely anxious.
At this moment, his seal had just been repaired by his father Minato Namikaze.
The Eight Trigrams Seal is currently at its most secure state.
Even if one wanted to go berserk, it wouldn't be possible to unleash much power in a short time.
Faced with the combined attack of multiple experts from Amegakure, it was simply a drop in the ocean.
"Weasel!"
Naruto Uzumaki shouted.
Now, all we can rely on is Itachi.
Tsunade and Sakura Summoning the Slug Sage, causing their Chakra to run out.
So...
You can't go anywhere.
More than 100 Water Clone appeared around Itachi Uchiha and Konan in an instant.
One of Hanzō spoke, silently watching Itachi.
This operation to destroy Konoha.
The most dangerous one is this Itachi Uchiha.
"His Majesty specifically instructed me that if he is unavailable, I should keep a close eye on you. Also... we have already obtained some information about you."
Hanzō knew that Itachi Uchiha possessed the divine weapon Kusanagi Sword.
Therefore, he will absolutely not be given a chance to hit his target.
The 100 Water Clone were incredibly lifelike, indistinguishable from Shadow Clone.
Hanzō thus surrounded Itachi, restricting his movements.
