Chapter 586
While Tsunade and the others rested.
Kankuro's raiding party has crossed the Land of Lightning and entered the Land of Frost.
Before them.
The vanguard reconnaissance team has already crossed the Land of Frost and entered the Land of Hot Water.
At the same time.
Deidara rides a clay bird.
He led three men—Scorpion, Nobu, Chukichi —as the vanguard to engage in battle.
"Yes, I've spotted the Allied Shinobi Forces' reconnaissance team..."
Deidara squinted one eye and looked into the distance.
On the ground...
The four-person squad led by Aburame Muta was unaware that the enemy had attacked from the sky.
Unlike the original work.
In this world, apart from Hyuga Hinata, the Hyuga Clan has not yet participated in the great war.
At this time, Hizashi Hyuga, Hyuga Hiashi, and the others were still in New Konoha.
Hyuga Hinata was assigned to another team.
The only pair of Byakugan were not randomly assigned to the front lines as cannon fodder.
The four members of the Aburame Wooden Tower continued their journey, using Kikaichū to clear a path and scout ahead.
However, Deidara, flying in the sky, completely avoided the Kikaichū's flight altitude.
"What should we do? Take them out?"
Deidara asked.
"Heh, why not use them as pawns..." came the order from Kabuto Yakushi.
Deidara controls the clay bird to dive.
Soon.
The two teams clashed in close combat.
"Enemy attack!!"
Aburame Mokuto's roar heralded the start of the Fourth Great Ninja War.
Soon.
Sasori, Deidara, and the other three subdued them.
Scorpion uses puppet strings to control four people.
Deidara stuffed Explosive Clay into the clothes of the four people, as well as into their ninja tool bags, insect jars, and other items.
After doing all that.
Deidara and his companions set sail again, preparing to use human puppet bombs as a means of clearing the way to engage the Allied Shinobi Forces!
502. Dark Taijutsu, Konan's End
Tsunade's angry growl was observed by the Dark Shadow.
The Akito's physical body also directly sensed it, but Tsunade herself was unaware of it.
Then.
Her outburst of grief and anger was witnessed in its entirety...
Amegakure, thousands of miles away.
The Akito dynasty people were watching everything from afar.
Tsunade's ever-growing hatred will nourish her own Dark Chakra, making her even stronger.
This is entirely in line with the plan.
"I need to speed things up on my end too."
With that thought in mind, Akito unfurled the scroll that Kisame had brought back.
"Untie!"
As the procedure was completed.
A corpse was found at the scene.
The moment Konan saw it clearly, her eyes widened in shock.
"Yahiko...?!"
Konan couldn't believe that Yahiko was here.
Clearly... Yahiko's body was properly hidden in the cave.
Kisame...
"Besides being skilled in Water Release, Kisame can also use Earth Release..."
Akito's calm words answered Konan's question.
"Earth Release: Submerged in Earth" - Kisame used this technique to disguise himself as a land shark, and he used it when he used the Transformation Technique against Guy.
They relied on diving deep into the soil to search carefully.
Kisame eventually found Yahiko's body and brought it back.
"It's reasonable for me to retrieve Yahiko's body to prevent the enemy from using it."
The Akito looked at the incorruptible body and said.
It was once made into the Six Paths of Pain, and its remains were so lifelike that it retained its vitality even after death.
One can't help but marvel at the miraculous power of the Rinnegan.
And it's reasonable.
This refers to the fact that Yahiko were to continue to be used in techniques such as the Impure World Reincarnation, it would be extremely inhumane.
Of course, if Konan wants to see Yahiko, she can.
But that's for later.
With a wave of his hand, he resealed Yahiko's body.
The Akito gently placed the scroll on his desk.
"Speaking of which, this is your first time visiting Amegakure, isn't it?"
It differs from the original work.
Konan has always been an untrained traveler and has never been inside Amegakure.
"How about the scenery?"
The Akito invited Konan to the floor-to-ceiling window to look down from the hundred-meter-high building.
Konan stared at the scroll on the table for a moment, then gritted her teeth.
Without a doubt.
Yahiko's remains... were, in a sense, a "hostage."
The Amegakure Emperor obtained it and also placed Dark Chakra Formula on himself.
This means that she was gradually being controlled by him.
Konan slowly walked to the floor-to-ceiling window.
The magnificent and bustling scene of Amegakure made her momentarily dazed.
The bustling metropolis was something she couldn't even imagine.
Konan had imagined countless times what the Land of Rain would look like after it gained peace.
I never imagined it could reach this level.
It's simply... heaven on earth!
The word came to her mind.
Pedestrians walked back and forth.
Neon lights flashed.
Even from a great distance, thanks to her ninja's excellent eyesight, Konan could see people's smiling faces.
The sky was still overcast, a testament to the ceaseless rain of the Land of Rain.
But...
The extensive use of glass in buildings and sky bridges brings a ray of reflected light to the entire village.
People would occasionally shout out His Majesty the Emperor's name to express their love.
When Akito appear on television programs, it makes their fans scream.
Such a prosperous and affluent place, where people can live and work in peace and contentment, isn't it the fantasy world in everyone's heart?
At this moment.
Their beloved emperor.
Standing atop the tallest central building in Amegakure, in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of his office, he invited Konan to admire the construction progress of Amegakure together.
"How?"
Akito asked the question.
"Very, very good..."
That's all Konan can say.
His words carried the same reserved tone he had always maintained.
She was originally a cheerful person.
She has been gentle since she was a child.
Until... Yahiko died, everything changed.
I've become indifferent, I've become... cold-hearted.
I don't know when, but my heart hardened.
He had no resistance to killing.
It feels like as long as the goal is achieved, it doesn't matter how many people die...
Emperor Amegakure, however, governed the entire alliance—including one country, multiple vassal states, and more—in an orderly manner.
Even if you don't want to admit it.
It must also be acknowledged that the standard of living of the people in the Land of Rain Pan-Alliance is the highest.
When a person possesses power.
The higher you look, the better.
Ultimately, they viewed ordinary people as nothing more than ants.
Emperor Amegakure was different.
He also considered the needs of ordinary people.
This is... truly rare.
But what he wants to do is destroy the entire world order.
Will the new world really be a better place?
Nobody knows.
