Chapter 97

The Suikazan Fuguki looked displeased, snorted coldly, and threw out a scroll.

Pakura accepted it.

This is clearly a communication between Kazekage Rasa and Kirigakure.

It reads that a temporary ceasefire agreement was reached at the cost of self-sacrifice.

"How could this be...?"

See what's recorded above.

Pakura's eyes widened, and her heart... wavered.

The belief I've held onto for over a decade since childhood... crumbled at this moment.

Seeing Pakura created a void in his heart.

Suikazan Fuguki gripped his greatsword and slashed down.

At the same time, Raiga Kurosuki, who had come up behind Pakura, suddenly thrust out his twin lightning blades.

Die!

This is what everyone is crying out in their hearts.

However.

Just as their attack was about to succeed--

Boom!!!

A shooting star fell from the sky.

Or perhaps it's a meteorite from outer space.

In short, something crashed down.

And the location was right next to Pakura.

In an instant, Pakura was sent flying, crashing headfirst into the rock wall.

Suikazan Fuguki: "..."

Raiga Kurosuki: "..."

What happened?!

Before the two members of the Seven Warriors could ask any questions...

Chukichi's eyes widened suddenly. "It's a person."

People?

Chukichi: "It was a person; someone threw something down."

With excellent perception.

In Chukichi noticed the Akito falling from the sky.

"Not one of our own."

Then, Chukichi immediately determined, through Chakra frequency, that they were not on his side.

"Could it be...?"

Suikazan Fuguki, and Raiga Kurosuki exchanged a glance.

Sunagakure... have they changed their minds?

Is this a feigned alliance?

Pakura was just bait; the real trump card was this guy who fell from the sky?

"Kill Pakura first!"

Raiga Kurosuki pointed a finger.

Pakura covered his head and got up from the ground.

Regardless of whether it's a backup plan or not, let's take out Pakura first.

Just as Raiga Kurosuki was about to do that.

A hand reached out from the pit.

"!"

With lightning-fast Ganryū, Yanliu swung his sword and slashed at the arm.

As a master swordsman, he was full of confidence in his swordsmanship.

But the next second...

This hand grasped the katana.

Ganryū first strained, then widened his eyes, and then looked on in disbelief.

Immediately afterwards, his arm and the blade began to tremble.

Snap!

Under absolute power.

The outstretched hand crushed the katana.

Then.

A figure crawled out of the hole.

37. It is impolite not to reciprocate.

Everyone stared wide-eyed.

They stared at the figure crawling out of the hole as if it were a ghost.

The Akito stretched out their arms like this, followed by their heads, chests, waists, and abdomens...

When the Akito stood firmly on the land of the Land of Water beneath their feet.

Everyone's expression had turned to astonishment.

The Akito, carrying a katana on his back, simply stood there without uttering a single word.

The air felt thick and sticky.

It was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep; the terrifying, oppressive aura made everyone afraid to even breathe.

"Let me introduce myself. I come from the Land of Rain. My country... Thank you for taking care of me."

Words brimming with gunpowder and irony.

The silence was blown away.

"I'm here mainly because..."

"..."

Pakura, who had stood up while leaning against the rock wall, had his eyes wide open as if he were seeing some incredible figure.

Call out!

The moment the word "for" was uttered, the Akito had already taken action.

I learned this move from Pakura.

He launched an attack before the other person had even finished speaking.

This caught the enemy completely off guard.

The Ganryū terrified them in an instant.

By the time he realized it, Akito was already behind him.

He couldn't understand how the other person could be so fast.

Pfft!

One punch.

The Akito smashed his back and through his chest, leaving a bloody fist protruding from the hole.

This punch reached a speed of 450 meters per second, which is supersonic.

That is to say...

It can deliver approximately 120 supersonic punches per second.

"Well..."

In the blink of an eye, the light in Ganryū's eyes faded, and he lost his life.

Although he looked somewhat familiar, perhaps a character from a TV anime, Akito didn't care.

"Ganryū ~~!!"

Suiren and Shunsai opened their eyes wide and screamed.

I am grieving the death of my comrade.

"Um?"

The Akito looked over, pondered for a moment, and then recognized it.

The guy he killed was a future participant in the "Green Banks" incident.

Suiren, Shunsai, and Ganryū, allied with Iwagakure, went to retrieve the scroll that Kumogakure had taken.

As a result, they were betrayed by Iwagakure.

Suiren Shunsai died.

This is the account of the "Green Banks" tragedy.

Now we see the three of them here.

"Really..."

Nothing happens without a reason.

Those who commit murder will be killed.

The traitor is betrayed.

Everything we do in life has a price.

"You..."

Pakura looked at Akito with resentment, somewhat unable to understand why... a Land of Rain would travel thousands of miles to appear here.

Having experienced betrayal, she was now filled with utter despair and hatred for the world and Sunagakure.

Her unvented hatred distorted her beautiful face.

The seeds of hatred have been sown.

The time is ripe.

"It is impolite not to reciprocate."

Akito ignored Pakura and instead looked around.

"Your Kirigakure has wreaked havoc and destroyed our Land of Rain, so... be prepared for retaliation."

"Aaaaaah!!"

Shunsai roared in anger as she saw her companion killed.

He brandished his katana and slashed fiercely at the Akito's back.

"Shunsai, wait...!"

Suiren reached out, trying to stop Shunsai's irrational behavior.

However, it was all too late.

The Akito's left arm blurred briefly.
