Chapter 574
It was the blue-haired girl who came with the emperor on Turtle Island.
"Heh heh, since they've already prepared a welcome, let's just go in rather generously."
Orochihime took the lead and walked inside...
491. The protagonist monster named Naruto Uzumaki.
A vast underground hall.
Akito stands here.
After being leveled by Earth Release, this place became a square, empty space.
Four huge braziers burned in the corner for illumination.
The "Ten Seals Barrier" consists of ten talismans affixed to ten locations to reinforce defenses.
The Akito stood on the steps, looking down at the crowd standing in two rows below.
"Before we welcome them, I have something to say."
As soon as the Akito spoke, everyone's attention turned to him.
"Naruto Uzumaki... is a very special guy."
"..."
Everyone nodded slightly, indicating that they understood.
Son of the Fourth Hokage, student of Jiraiya, half-Uzumaki bloodline, Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Child of Prophecy of Mount Myōboku...
A series of identities and lineages, piled together.
This made him the ultimate Frankenstein's monster of identity and lineage.
"This is just the surface."
The Akito looked at them.
"Naruto Uzumaki possesses a bloodline and heritage far more powerful than this."
"?!"
Everyone's eyes widened slightly.
I thought this ultimate Frankenstein's monster was the pinnacle.
But unexpectedly... Naruto Uzumaki has an even more powerful hidden identity... or perhaps a bloodline?!
"A thousand years ago, the Sage of Six Paths had two sons."
Hizashi Hyuga: "..."
"One was named Asura, and the other was named Indra."
"The two brothers got into a fight over the succession of the Ninshu founded by the Sage of Six Paths."
"Although both brothers eventually died and their souls went to the underworld, their Chakra stubbornly reincarnated, possessing other people..."
In the accounts of Akito, that period of history from a thousand years ago was presented to the public.
Chakra reincarnation.
Just like the rebirth of the Tailed Beast.
Immortal and indestructible.
"Even if the two reincarnated individuals die, this Chakra will continue to reincarnate... and Naruto Uzumaki is the current 'Asura Chakra Reincarnation'."
One stone stirs up a thousand waves.
The audience erupted in uproar.
Because... it's unbelievable.
Naruto Uzumaki's identity is actually linked to the Sage of Six Paths from 1000 years ago, which is truly...
Hanzō sighed, "No wonder His Majesty has been so concerned about that Naruto Uzumaki."
Ying snorted coldly, "The ultimate theory of bloodline? Whether he's the son of the Sage of Six Paths or whatever... I will personally crush him!"
"Of course, that's only one aspect."
As the Akito spoke again.
Everyone was stunned.
Could it be... that Naruto Uzumaki, besides being the reincarnation of the Sage of Sage of Six Paths' Chakra, has something even more outrageous going on?!
Naruto Uzumaki is the "protagonist".
The Akito dropped another bombshell.
"Translated, it's called the Child of Prophecy, the Savior, the Deity... Anyway, you've all read those cheap ninja novels, right..."
This is a world of ninjas.
Of course, there will be all sorts of ninja novels and literary works.
There were even ninja movies.
For example, the Princess Gale movie series, directed by Kazahana Koyuki, incorporates various elements of ninjas.
"The protagonists in ninja novels often exhibit various extraordinary behaviors."
"For example, the protagonist may be seriously injured, but he never dies."
"The protagonist is always in a difficult situation, but he always finds a way to solve it."
"The enemy is usually highly intelligent, but suddenly becomes incredibly stupid when facing the protagonist."
"The protagonist's logic is utterly nonsensical, yet the enemy suddenly kneels down, repents, and declares they want to start anew..."
"No matter how many times he's knocked down, the Kakuzu get back up..."
"... All of this illustrates the extraordinary qualities of the protagonist, and Naruto Uzumaki is, in a certain sense, a 'protagonist'."
Everyone fell silent.
They need some time to process this.
Because this is simply too absurd.
Seeing everyone's expressions, Akito naturally knew what they were thinking.
Naruto Uzumaki came here to rescue Tsunade.
This is a good example.
This will make Hanzō and his companions fully understand just how terrifying the "protagonist" monster truly is.
After all, ninja novels are not very popular in this world.
In my previous life.
Having read countless online novels, movies, animations, and games, Akito is intimately familiar with everything the protagonist possesses.
He could rattle off a bunch of protagonist laws even with his eyes closed.
"Moreover, even if the protagonist fails, he'll say things like 'Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river,' and 'Never underestimate a young man'... and rise again in the future... Well, you'll see soon enough."
This time.
The Akito decided not to intervene.
Instead, it was to make everyone see reality through Naruto Uzumaki in the face and recognize it sooner.
This is necessary.
Only in this way will they understand what kind of enemy they will face in the future.
Naruto Uzumaki, too.
Even Uzumaki Menma is fine.
Parallel worlds, universes, countless spaces.
It features countless characters who possess the status and destiny of a "protagonist".
If we don't realize this beforehand, then... one day we'll suffer a terrible fate.
Clatter
Footsteps sounded.
Orochihime emerged from the shadows first.
Next up are Naruto Uzumaki, Itachi Uchiha, and Killer B the Eight-Tails).
Naruto Uzumaki with rage, did not rush forward immediately.
It didn't start yelling or screaming immediately.
After all, he has grown and matured a lot.
A review of Naruto Uzumaki's journey to becoming the protagonist.
We can probably use the "Dragon Overlord" template.
Of course, it's Long Aotian, whose family has fallen on hard times.
The story of Long Aotian, a second-generation immortal, who falls to earth and experiences the blessings of a working ninja. He eventually reveals his true identity, distinguishes himself from the common people, and reaches the pinnacle of life.
He appears to be a paragon of virtue and justice, but in reality, he has a lot of flaws.
And it was pitch black.
This perfectly aligns with the early "overpowered protagonist" trope.
--In other words, it looks normal at first glance, but upon closer inspection, you'll discover a truly terrifying truth... like that.
"Hehe, Your Majesty, it's been so long..."
Orochihime spoke first, as the opening remark.
She looked around and found that all the experts from Amegakure were here.
But Orochihime remained completely unfazed.
Because she knew.
Even if you combined all the top masters and put them together, they still wouldn't be able to defeat Amakawa Akito alone.
The most terrifying thing on the scene was Emperor Amegakure himself.
He is intelligent, calm, exceptionally wise, and extremely capable...
More importantly, he possesses an unimaginable bloodline.
It is the strongest "bloodline" possessor.
"Orochihime, are you here to die?"
The Akito spoke calmly.
For most people, courting death is simply courting death in the normal sense.
As for Orochihime...
Court death...
They used various methods and Dark Taijutsu to beat her until she was in excruciating pain and wanted to die.
Orochihime's expression changed, her face stiffened, and her suppressed hatred and rage almost burst forth.
Even more frightening is...
Because of this sentence.
It was just a single sentence from Emperor Amegakure.
She unconsciously prepared the preliminary techniques for Water Release Ninjutsu.
Mental resistance is possible.
But the body... cannot lie.
