Chapter 72

Yamada raised his head and looked at Akito with hopeful eyes, hoping to get a positive answer from him.

Like a drowning person grasping at the last straw.

Akito could sense his inner fragility and wavering.

"Certainly."

"That's what Akito said seriously."

"We will drive all invaders out of the Land of Rain! One day, we will make those arrogant great powers understand that even a small ninja village is not something they can bully at will!"

Hearing the Akito's resolute words.

The flame that was about to be extinguished in Yamada's heart was rekindled.

He smiled and left happily.

As he reached the door, Yamada suddenly remembered something. "Um... Akito, Hanzō is waiting for you..."

"I see."

I watched him close the door and leave.

The Akito's expression grew cold.

Who is it...?

Did he spread the news that he killed Hozuki Mangetsu?

Hanzō? No, Hanzō isn't a talkative person; he's always been very quiet.

Asuka? Like his grandfather, he was taciturn.

Dragon? Although it is a licking dog...

Guren.

Is that you?

The Akito picked up his chopsticks and began to eat.

Guren... Guren...

Orochimaru, Guren's future subordinate, appears in the Akatsuki Organization and joins Amegakure as a partner.

"Hopefully... it wasn't you, otherwise... the only fate of a traitor is death!"

After lunch.

The Akito went to the central tower.

At the top of the tower, I saw Hanzō.

Master Shinnō, and Hanzō's granddaughter Asuka are also here.

Upon seeing me enter, Asuka nodded in a friendly manner as a greeting.

"You're here..."

Hanzō looked at Akito.

Three days is enough time for everything to settle down.

Now, Hanzō decided to talk about the Chunin Ninja Exams.

"The Twin Blades: Hiramekarei is in your hands, isn't it?" Hanzō asked.

"No." Akito shook his head.

Hanzō: "Hmm?"

"I sold it directly at the Underground Exchange in the Land of Fire. I got 100 million taels."

The Akito Dynasty directly stated that he would sell the knife for money.

"..."

Hanzō silent.

This result... was beyond his expectations.

"That's... Kirigakure treasure."

The divine weapons that countless ninjas coveted were actually... sold off directly.

Although the money earned from selling them... was indeed quite a lot.

After all, the corpses of those prominent Land of Fire Twelve Guardian Ninja only fetched 20-35 million ryo.

Due to the unique characteristics of the Twin Blades: Hiramekarei.

The price skyrocketed to 100 million.

"I think... you're not the kind of person who's greedy for money." Hanzō a little curious about what had prompted Amakawa Akito to make this decision.

"To you, the Twin Blades: Hiramekarei is a divine weapon; to me, it's just trash."

The Akito made no attempt to hide the disdain in his tone.

"No matter how powerful the Twin Blades: Hiramekarei is, there's only one, and it can't be distributed to everyone. What I want is a weapon that everyone can obtain; that's the true divine weapon."

Like Dark Chakra.

It can be popularized throughout the entire ninja world.

Of course... that requires a catalyst.

The same applies to weaponry.

Just like Kunai and Shuriken, everyone can use them.

What the Akito wanted was a "divine weapon" that could be easily obtained and mass-produced.

It's good if it's usable by the general public.

Theories of bloodline or the Seven Ninja Blade are nothing but useless nonsense.

"Hanzō, it's like this..."

Seeing this, Shinnō briefly explained the ideas of the Akito.

This moment.

Hanzō finally understood.

Amakawa Akito... truly... desires to change the sun and moon, and to revolutionize the era.

However, Shinnō did not reveal anything about the Dark Chakra.

Because... even Hanzō probably couldn't accept that.

But Shinnō's silence doesn't mean Hanzō didn't ask.

After all, punches and movements that exceed the speed of sound are not something that ordinary people can do.

"Akito, may I be so bold as to ask... what is your Kekkei Genkai?"

Hanzō stared at the Akito.

The Asuka also looked on with curiosity.

Out of politeness and propriety, she never asked about it.

"I don't have Kekkei Genkai."

The Akito shook his head.

"My master and I are testing a power. When the time is right, we will find a way to popularize it so that more people can possess this power, even ordinary people... so that they can have the right to control their own lives and have the right to choose."

"It sounds like the Ninshu of the Sage of Six Paths..."

Upon hearing this, Hanzō was not surprised; instead, he seemed to recall something.

But the Akito had an idea.

In the original story, Hanzō immediately recognized Nagato's Rinnegan.

This indicates that Hanzō possessed some... special knowledge.

Perhaps, those are some ancient Tibetan scrolls.

Or perhaps, someone told Hanzō something.

Hanzō: "It is said that 1000 years ago, the Sage of Six Paths founded the Ninshu, teaching people how to use Chakra to connect people's hearts and minds to achieve mutual understanding... Later, this method was lost..."

"People can't understand each other. I'm more realistic than a delusional person."

The Akito rose and left.

Seeing this, Hanzō: "Why... does he seem a little angry?"

Hanzō was unaware of this.

These two people constantly preach mutual understanding between people, yet they commit murder, arson, invade other countries, and even insult the beliefs of others.

A man named Jiraiya.

The other person is Naruto Uzumaki.

"If you ask me what I'll do next, I can tell you..."

As he reached the door, Akito turned around.

"Kill, keep killing, get stronger. Until all the invaders are driven out of the Land of Rain! I will not give up until Iwagakure, Sunagakure, and Konoha surrender! I will wipe them all out!!!"

15. Regain Confidence

"Lord Hanzō..."

The shadow flickered.

Several members of the Amegakure, who were lurking around and protecting Hanzō, looked Anbu.

Amakawa Akito... This young man is too extreme.

Extreme individuals are often very dangerous.

Because you can't predict what he'll do.

"..."

Hanzō did not reply.

Instead, he sat quietly in place.

Amakawa Akito... what he said...

Is something wrong simply because it doesn't align with some people's beliefs?

When was that?

Have I become one of those people who just follow the crowd?

They clearly took it upon themselves to emulate the deeds of Hashirama Senju, the God of Shinobi.

Determined to change the world, just like him.

When Hashirama Senju drove the samurai off the stage of history, did he face the same numerous obstacles?

At the time, the samurai probably all thought that Hashirama Senju was wrong.

But Hashirama Senju proved that he ushered in a new era.

Even if this new era later gave rise to new problems, at least... he changed.

And now.

When Amakawa Akito saw him, it was as if he saw his younger self.

The current world is unbearable.

Make up your mind.

They raised the banner of "rebellion".
