Chapter 583

Such a great thing... how could I not ruin it!

"Everything will be decided in the Fourth Great Ninja War."

Akito has decided to change some things this year, now, Naruto Uzumaki is 17.

After all, Konoha was destroyed.

Although Otsutsuki Toneri, this moon dweller, is highly likely to attack.

But the plot has taken a completely different turn.

We lost Konoha, our great tree.

Naruto Uzumaki's life trajectory underwent a dramatic change.

Soon, all sorts of bosses will make their appearance.

The moment Naruto Uzumaki received the legacy of the Sage of Six Paths.

That was... his end!

"..."

Akito raised his eyes and stared intently at Konan.

The dark chains were undoubtedly Kushina's creation.

The Adamantine Sealing Chains possesses the ability to immobilize Tailed Beast and restrain and destroy demons and monsters.

Certainly.

This also means that the binding force and harm to "humans" will be greatly reduced.

Otherwise, the Uzumaki Clan wouldn't have been wiped out back then.

As Itachi Uchiha said, "Every technique has a weakness."

The weakness of the Adamantine Sealing Chains is its ineffectiveness against humanoid targets.

But...

What if we add Dark Chakra?

This makes all the difference.

The jet-black Chakra strengthened the chains' binding force.

What is the darkness within Uzumaki Kushina's heart?

The answer is... guilt towards Minato Namikaze and Naruto Uzumaki.

She failed to fulfill her responsibilities as a wife and mother.

As time goes by.

This guilt grew deeper and deeper, constantly tormenting Uzumaki Kushina.

That day, in the cemetery, there was a climax of Dark Chakra erupting.

Last night, in the office, Dark Chakra once again surged wildly.

Two profound experiences in a row.

Add to all that has happened in the past... everything that has accumulated over the past 17 years.

Kushina was overflowing with guilt.

Therefore, the Adamantine Sealing Chains is incredibly powerful.

It also greatly benefits people.

"Damn it..."

Konan struggled with all her might, but remained motionless.

"The Adamantine Sealing Chains are the most effective counter to 'Chakra.' Tailed Beast are carriers of Chakra, and your God Paper Technique is also a type of Chakra technique, so... you cannot escape this state."

The Akito explained.

"Now... you understand who's really in control..."

Akito stood up and walked towards Konan.

As the Akito approached, a hint of panic flashed in Konan's eyes.

In her opinion.

This is no less than a Tailed Beast walking towards you.

The terrifying aura made it hard for her to breathe.

This is an absolute difference in strength.

Konan had no doubt that the emperor could easily kill her.

But...

Thinking of the Rinnegan, thinking of Nagato and Yahiko.

Konan's eyes hardened.

"The Rinnegan is a treasure of the Land of Rain, and that... will never change! Even if your beliefs conflict with those of Akatsuki, you should prioritize the greater good!"

"The big picture?"

Akito found it amusing.

"When you were colluding with those people from Konoha, why didn't you consider the bigger picture?"

"Back then, when the Land of Rain was on the verge of collapse, why didn't you consider the bigger picture?"

"When you started by dividing the country and causing Hanzō to gradually lose faith, why didn't you consider the bigger picture?"

Akito squinted and moved closer to Konan.

The two were very close, their eyes meeting.

"You have absolutely no right to stand on moral high ground and give a speech! You... are not worthy!"

After saying that, Akito reached out and pinched Konan's chin.

It feels smooth and soft to the touch.

Because of the activation of the God's Paper Technique.

A portion of Konan's body was turned into paper.

It has a unique aesthetic appeal.

Like a finely crafted work of art.

The next moment.

The Akito distanced themselves from Konan and lowered their arms.

"Get lost. I'll spare your life for Yahiko's sake."

"..."

Konan felt a strange sense of relief.

But the next sentence from the Akito plunged her back into the abyss.

"By the way... according to what I've heard, Kabuto Yakushi Nagato already used the Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu to revive Nagato..."

Akito told Konan about this.

"Then, could Yahiko be among them?"

Uncertain.

The plot of this world deviates significantly from the original story.

Who knows Yahiko will "come back to life"?

"!"

Konan was startled, and a chill ran down her spine.

"This..."

Seeing her wide-eyed surprise, Akito found it amusing.

Konan trembled, a mixture of anger, anxiety, disbelief, sadness...

Soon.

These thoughts turned into pain.

"Your Majesty... please... let Nagato and the others rest in peace..."

Konan's tone remained cold, but it carried a hint of pleading.

The Rinnegan was stolen.

They don't even spare the souls of the dead.

To manipulate them at will, to make them inflict even greater pain on the living... such a thing.

That's something no human could do.

"Are you begging me?"

The Akito stared at her.

"..."

Konan remained silent.

After a moment's hesitation, she slowly nodded.

"Yes..."

At the very least, let Nagato... and Yahiko [possibly] rest in peace.

"Why don't you ask Naruto Uzumaki for help?" Akito asked again. "After all, he's your junior brother."

"Naruto... carries too much on his shoulders..."

Konan shook her head.

Her junior brother, Naruto Uzumaki, shoulders the responsibility of peace.

"Furthermore, it forces Naruto to fight Nagato... and even Yahiko once again..."

That kind of thing.

Konan didn't want to witness it happen.

"A price, an exchange, or rather... sincerity," the Akito proposed in a cold tone.

"I can act as your subordinate; my reconnaissance skills are very useful..."

Konan can split herself into countless forms.

Paper can also be used to create barriers, disguised as shielding Chakra perception.

She's quite good at providing support.

Moreover, the God's Paper Technique grants immunity to toxins and ordinary physical attacks to a certain extent.

They are not easy to defeat.

As "eyes".

He was a very useful candidate for scouting the battlefield of the Fourth Great Ninja War.

As is widely known.

The Fourth Great Ninja War was divided into multiple battlefields.

If Akito wants to participate in all battlefields simultaneously, they will always need a guide.
