- Chapter 327: Absorbing the Chakra of 100,00 Ninjas
Akihara Kagura.
Outer Path: Akihara Kagura.
This is the true form, apart from the six puppet paths.
At this moment, the 100,000-strong ninja alliance saw Akihara Kagura standing atop the tower, looking down at them, recalling the fear this person had once instilled in them.
This was the person who single-handedly conquered the ninja villages of four great nations, treated the strongest Konoha as a plaything, and even manipulated the Hokage position to suit his schemes.
However…
Accompanied by the appearance of Akihara Kagura through Hanzo of the Salamander Animal Path’s summoning technique, he seemed completely unworldly, looking down at the endless ninja alliance.
A faint smile appeared at the corner of Akihara Kagura’s mouth as he spoke with satisfaction, “You’ve gathered too many people; I’m almost impressed by your efficiency…”
“Hmph…”
Uchiha Madara sneered, glancing contemptuously at Tsunade and others, who were pale-faced, “Such words might deceive these Five Kage kids!”
After speaking, Uchiha Madara’s eyes suddenly turned serious, staring intently at Akihara Kagura before him, “Kid, gathering all the ninjas of the ninja world here using the ninja alliance, what is your purpose? Do you intend to resurrect Kaguya recorded in history?”
“At least not today…”
Akihara Kagura raised a finger and gently waved it, continuing to smile, “I’m just worried that the ninja alliance might fall apart in their quarrels, so I came here to help you understand each other before the war officially begins…”
“…”
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.
What nonsense is this guy talking about again?
“Humans cannot understand each other.”
Akihara Kagura lightly laughed, looking down at the ninja alliance below the tower, and continued, “Even if they gather under orders, it’s merely superficial…”
“But…”
“Humans can understand fear.”
The smile on Akihara Kagura’s face gradually turned sinister as he spread his arms, “As long as everyone knows fear, they can barely understand each other…”
“What nonsense are you talking about!”
The Fifth Kazekage, Gaara, the youngest among them, still had the spirit of youth. The sand gourd on his back instantly turned into a wave of yellow sand, sweeping towards Akihara Kagura and Hanzo of the Salamander!
Akihara Kagura raised his eyes, revealing his Rinnegan, and the boundless yellow sand halted a foot around him and Hanzo, as if a protective shield had appeared around them!
The Rinnegan’s pupil technique…
Time-Limited Seal Space made its debut in this world!
The Rinnegan’s pupil technique, Time-Limited Seal Space, could not only serve as a cage but also as a defensive ability, blocking any attack weaker than Akihara Kagura!
Gaara desperately tried to squeeze the defensive shield around Akihara Kagura with his sand, but he couldn’t break through. The yellow sand swept away like a massive wave, but it ultimately failed to shake the solid mountain wall!
The Fourth Raikage, A, swung his fist, smashing it heavily against the barrier, feeling as if he had struck steel!
Tsunade slowly extended her hand, as if touching the edge of a barrier. Her fist glowed with chakra, and her powerful punch landed on the barrier, but it showed no signs of breaking!
“Is this the kid’s Rinnegan technique?”
Uchiha Madara squinted his eyes, having lent one of his Rinnegan to Obito Uchiha. Even if he wanted to use Limbo, he could only use a single Limbo clone.
However…
He had to test it!
A Limbo clone flew out of Uchiha Madara’s Rinnegan, striking Akihara Kagura’s barrier, but it couldn’t shake it at all!
“Unbreakable…”
Uchiha Madara frowned. Was Akihara Kagura’s Rinnegan barrier a defensive technique?
If it was a defensive technique…
Then the barrier must have a limit to its defense…
Unfortunately…
It seemed that no one present could break that barrier.
Hatake Kakashi, beneath the tower, noticed this first. He raised his eyes, trying to use Kamui to silently attack Akihara Kagura!
However…
The space ability of Kamui seemed to vanish without a trace, causing Kakashi’s heart to tremble!
“Kamui… is ineffective…”
This was Hatake Kakashi’s trump card!
“Don’t bother trying.”
Akihara Kagura, standing within the Time-Limited Seal Space, smiled and spoke, “Let me handle some business first!”
Akihara Kagura spread his palm, ignoring everyone’s attacks, and gently clasped his hands together, “Wood Release: Advent of a World of Trees!”
Roots and vines spread from the high tower, quickly covering it in a dense layer of green. Thick vines, like giant snakes, surged towards the 100,000-strong ninja coalition below.
“Scatter quickly!”
The Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, flew up, raising his hand to unleash a Dust Release that shattered dozens of vines, but it couldn’t halt their growth and spread.
The ninja coalition rapidly planned to scatter and flee, but…
Most ninjas could not escape the assault of the vines!
The vines transformed into fast-moving wooden dragons. Wherever these wooden dragons moved, vines and roots followed, instantly entangling ninjas and binding them to trees, absorbing their chakra.
The Five Kage and Jiraiya on the tower couldn’t afford to entangle with Akihara Kagura.
The Fourth Raikage leaped down, a cluster of blue Lightning Release chakra around his arm like a sharp blade, slicing through vines to rescue the immobilized ninjas bound to the trees.
A wooden dragon seemed to sense the Fourth Raikage’s actions, twisting its body to crash directly into him.
“Lightning Cutter!”
The Fourth Raikage raised his arm, his Lightning Release chakra nearly maxed out. He dodged the wooden dragon’s charge and struck its head with his elbow, forcefully killing it. However…
As the wooden dragon hit the ground, its massive body began to spread…
The vines transformed into more wooden dragons, surrounding the Fourth Raikage!
“We can’t use Dust Release here…”
Onoki looked at the ninjas bound to the trees, feeling uneasy. His powerful technique would indeed destroy a section of the forest, but…
Dust Release would also kill the ninjas trapped in the forest!
The forest echoed with cries for help. The numerous ninja coalition, moving in groups, managed to cut down the attacking vines and roots, but…
The forest’s counterattack quickly swept back.
Strange tree creatures of varying sizes started to appear throughout the forest.
It seemed the entire forest had come alive under Akihara Kagura’s chakra. These countless, differently sized tree creatures swiftly dismantled the ninjas’ defenses.
A tree creature, roughly human-sized, extended vines to capture a group of ninjas, binding them to its body as it rapidly transformed into a large, thick tree!
This scenario continued throughout the forest…
One tree creature after another appeared, making it impossible to resist…
Even if a team of ninjas managed to defeat a tree creature, it didn’t change the outcome, as stronger tree creatures would emerge the moment one died!
Wooden dragons continued to swim through the forest, assisting the tree creatures in overwhelming strong ninja teams…
Akihara Kagura…
He seemed poised to defeat the ninja coalition single-handedly!
As for Uchiha Madara…
Madara was unconcerned with the fate of the ninja coalition below. His focus was on how to break the Rinnegan’s ocular technique, as the barrier’s protection was exceptionally strong, even more so than the Uchiha Flame Formation!
It just so happened…
This was a troublesome time…
Madara’s strength was not at its peak.
To break Akihara Kagura’s barrier…
He might need to utilize Sasuke’s space-time techniques…
The most important thing was…
Madara suspected Akihara Kagura had other schemes. He planned to take Uchiha Sasuke and Uchiha Obito to intercept the Jinchuriki of the Nine-Tails and Eight-Tails, as that was the true battleground!
If everything went as expected…
Once Akihara Kagura immobilized the ninja coalition, he would surely attempt to seize the Jinchuriki!
Madara glanced at Uchiha Sasuke still fighting below, ignoring Akihara Kagura’s arrogance. He leaped down, disappearing, intending to intercept the Jinchuriki first!
On the tower.
“There are too many people…”
Akihara Kagura felt the continuous influx of chakra from the vines at his feet into his body, which then flowed into the Ten-Tails’ shell within him. He took a satisfied deep breath.
A 100,000-strong ninja coalition…
This was an unprecedented experience!
Akihara Kagura monitored the chakra absorption progress while cautiously preventing the Ten-Tails’ shell within him from reviving: “Just a little more…”
If the Ten-Tails were revived prematurely, Akihara Kagura wasn’t sure what changes would occur from truly becoming the Ten-Tails’ Jinchuriki. It would undoubtedly raise suspicions in his new superior, Black Zetsu, likely implicating him…
The revival of the Ten-Tails’ shell had reached a critical point, needing only a slight flow of chakra from his body to revive it.
This trump card…
Must not be revealed now!
The ninja coalition’s assembly site, originally a desert, had become a vast forest, with ninjas bound to the trees.
Akihara Kagura’s immense chakra continued to sustain the attacking vines. Aside from a few powerful ninjas still struggling, most had lost the ability to resist.
“This won’t do…”
Hatake Kakashi, panting heavily, stared at Akihara Kagura, who was still controlling the vines. His Kamui Mangekyō Sharingan desperately tried to absorb Kagura’s body to stop his technique, but Kamui couldn’t penetrate Kagura’s barrier!
“Kakashi, can you keep going?” Sarutobi Asuma was still protecting Hatake Kakashi. They were nearing their limits under the vine attacks, and even more vines were closing in on them.
Swish! A vine lashed towards Hatake Kakashi!
A massive cleaver suddenly severed the vine, blocking the attack. Momochi Zabuza looked at Kakashi with annoyance. “What are you doing here, leader of the Third Division? My newly recruited subordinates have already been captured…”
“No, I have an idea!” Kakashi quickly came up with a plan and ignored Zabuza. He dashed towards the tower, intending to enter Kamui’s intangibility state to approach Kagura from a different dimension.
“You idiot…” Zabuza cursed under his breath.
After Kakashi left, Zabuza grudgingly teamed up with Sarutobi Asuma to cut through the vines and rescue those bound to the trees.
However…
Their efforts seemed like a drop in the ocean. The endless supply of vines overwhelmed them, making resistance futile.
Even more terrifying were the wood dragons and walking wooden figures in the forest, crushing any ninja who dared to resist.
Despair…
Began to spread throughout the forest.
One hundred thousand ninja allied forces were trapped in this artificially created forest, constantly under attack, with someone always being bound to a tree.
“Kabuto?” Yakushi Nono, the head of Konoha’s orphanage, was also bound to a tree. She had never encountered such a bizarre situation, feeling uneasy and panicked.
“Dean, don’t worry…” Yakushi Kabuto, seeing that the Dean was not in danger, looked at the vines slowly growing towards him without any intention of resisting. He merely extended his arms, allowing the vines to bind him to a tree.
Kabuto didn’t feel his chakra being absorbed. He even saw a small flower blooming on the vine, emitting a captivating fragrance.
“After this catastrophe…” “Will new life stubbornly grow?” Kabuto seemed to be conversing with the flower, his gaze fixed on the flower swaying gently, a look of surprise in his eyes. He began to ponder Akihara Kagura’s past actions towards him and the Dean, then changed his tune: “So… will there be a catastrophe?”
“…”
Flowers began to bloom throughout the forest. Amidst the deadly forest and the cries for help from the ninja alliance, colorful flowers suddenly started blooming everywhere.
This scene…
Was particularly striking.
However, Kabuto seemed accustomed to it. He appeared to understand Kagura’s intentions, smiling as he observed the blooming flowers around him.
“Do I need to do anything more?” “…”
The flowers in the forest swayed in unison.
This war was no longer Kabuto’s concern.
Atop the tower.
Akihara Kagura released his clasped hands. His objective was achieved. He turned to Hanzo of the Salamander beside him. “Let’s go find the Jinchūriki of the Eight and Nine Tails…”
“Alright…” As the commander of the ninja alliance, Hanzo knew all their intelligence, including the whereabouts of the Eight-Tails Jinchūriki Killer Bee and the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki Uzumaki Naruto, who were hiding in a waterfall, training.
Kagura deactivated the spatial restriction and placed his hand on Hanzo, intending to use the Flying Thunder God Technique to leave instantly.
“Kamui!” A strange space-time ripple clashed with the Flying Thunder God Technique’s spatial wave, neutralizing both techniques simultaneously!
“Huff…” Hatake Kakashi panted, standing before Akihara Kagura. His eyes were a pair of crimson Mangekyō Sharingan. “I finally made it here…”
Kagura had almost single-handedly trapped the ninja alliance and was about to capture the Eight and Nine-Tails Jinchūriki. If he succeeded, the situation would become unimaginably dire…
Fortunately…
He made it in time to stop him!
Or rather…
He hoped he made it in time?
