Kapitel 129: Chapter 129: Lightning Blade - Leaving the Tsuchikage with One Leg

A purple barrier suddenly appeared, forming a large, dome-like structure that encompassed an area of about a hundred meters. Naturally, Akira and the others were also trapped inside, completely isolating them from the outside world.

"This is... the Four Violet Flames Formation!?" The Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, scowled as he recognized the purple light surrounding them.

When had this barrier been set up? He hadn't noticed any Konoha shinobi making a move. Yet here it was, fully activated. This could only mean one thing: Konoha had prepared this sealing formation well in advance and had just now triggered it.

Even though the Four Violet Flames Formation would trap both sides within its boundaries, and despite Konoha's forces having their chakra severely restricted by his sealing technique, Onoki realized this situation might actually favor him. This was, after all, a scenario where he could attack Konoha's forces without interference from the outside.

But why would Konoha activate such a formation when they knew it would disadvantage them? Were they really that desperate to die?

No, that couldn't be it.

There was no time to mock Akira and the others for seemingly cutting off their own escape route. Onoki raised his hand, and a blinding white light began to gather in his palm. He was preparing to unleash his Dust Release.

Whatever Konoha's plan was, Onoki's was simple: kill Akira as quickly as possible. Only then would he feel secure.

But just as Onoki was about to unleash his Dust Release, a toad suddenly appeared out of nowhere, jumping in front of Akira.

The toad was small—not tiny, but roughly the size of a regular cat. Compared to ordinary toads, it was quite large, but compared to the toads from Mount Myoboku, it was rather diminutive.

The toad opened its mouth, and shockingly, a human arm emerged from within. Following the arm, a large, muscular man crawled out of the toad's mouth. The sight was bizarre, like something out of a dream, where an impossibly large object is pulled from a small space.

"Jiraiya!?" Onoki's expression darkened upon recognizing the man who had just emerged. It was none other than Jiraiya, using his Reverse Summoning Technique.

In the original series, Jiraiya had used this very technique to infiltrate the base of the Six Paths of Pain.

Dust Release: Detachment of the Primitive World Technique!

Onoki, his mind clear and focused, immediately activated his Dust Release. The massive destructive force of the Dust Release shot toward Akira and Jiraiya.

But Jiraiya was quick to respond. He raised his hand, and a massive amount of chakra gathered into a sphere the size of a water tank.

Sage Art: Ultra-Big Ball Rasengan!

Jiraiya was well-versed in the Rasengan technique, and when infused with the vast amounts of chakra from Sage Mode, the Rasengan's size and power increased dramatically. Though it lacked any elemental nature transformation, the sheer amount of chakra made it overwhelmingly large and powerful.

It was like an engine without a turbocharger but with an enormous fuel consumption rate, capable of outputting an incredible amount of horsepower.

Boom!

The renowned Dust Release collided with Jiraiya's Ultra-Big Ball Rasengan, resulting in a catastrophic explosion. Neither side gained an upper hand, as the two techniques were evenly matched.

After the clash, Jiraiya quickly moved back to Akira's side, raising his hand to swiftly form seals and touch Akira, dispelling the sealing runes that had been placed on him.

As the flow of his chakra gradually returned to normal, Akira felt a sense of relief. Only with his full strength restored could he feel any semblance of security.

He silently thanked himself for having planned ahead. Without these preparations, he might have met his end at the hands of the Third Tsuchikage today.

"Onoki, I can't believe you're so shameless! You pretended to want peace talks, but you were really planning to ambush us!" Jiraiya, having blocked Onoki's Dust Release and saved the day, scolded the Tsuchikage angrily.

"Your Konoha isn't any better!" Onoki retorted with an unchanging expression. "You had this trap set up long before today. You were planning to take me down all along, weren't you?"

"You wouldn't understand even if I explained. This was just a precautionary measure, but it seems it's a good thing we prepared it after all," Akira said as he dispelled the seals on his companions.

At this point, there was no use in trading accusations. Akira, due to the knowledge from the Life Simulator, had known Onoki harbored a deep intent to kill him. So, he had set up a countermeasure in advance.

On the other hand, from Iwagakure's perspective, Konoha's forces had clearly prepared everything in advance, indicating that they had planned to ambush Onoki all along. It just so happened that Onoki had struck first.

"The Four Violet Flames Formation can only last for five minutes. We need to finish this quickly," Hyuga Hiashi reminded Akira.

Hiashi himself had set up this formation. While it was strong, it required a steady supply of chakra from capable shinobi to maintain it for any length of time. Without that, the formation could only hold for five minutes at most.

Nodding in acknowledgment of Hiashi's warning, Akira knew they needed to act fast. The formation was designed to trap and eliminate their enemies efficiently. Then, with the toad summoning Jiraiya via the Reverse Summoning Technique, they had laid out the perfect plan.

Hiashi, as the head of the Hyuga clan, was a master of Gentle Fist and Byakugan. While his Gentle Fist didn't cause the large-scale destruction of powerful ninjutsu, it was extremely effective in a close-quarters battle like this. Hiashi was an elite Jonin, teetering on the edge of Kage-level strength.

As for Naruto, his power fluctuated wildly, but in this situation, he was among the strongest allies they had.

With no more time for words, Akira and the others launched their assault.

It was a fight meant to be a complete rout. Akira immediately opened six of the Eight Gates, determined to end the battle swiftly. Jiraiya, too, was in Sage Mode.

Onoki and his men quickly realized they had gone from hunters to prey. Faced with the overwhelming force of two Kage-level opponents, Onoki fought with everything he had, driven by a powerful will to survive.

Kitsuchi and Akatsuchi also fought with desperation, unleashing their most powerful jutsu to fight back. The battle within the confined space of the Four Violet Flames Formation was incredibly fierce.

Konoha had the advantage in numbers, with four against three. With Akira and Jiraiya on their side, they also had the edge in terms of sheer power.

While the formation would only last five minutes, Akira was confident that they could finish the fight within that time.

In the first minute, the Iwagakure shinobi were already in disarray.

By the second minute, Akira landed a powerful punch on Akatsuchi, shattering the bones in his shoulder.

In the third minute, under Akira's relentless pressure, Kitsuchi was hit by Hiashi's Gentle Fist, his chakra points sealed and a mouthful of blood spilling from his lips—severely injured.

With Jiraiya in Sage Mode, his power was even greater than Onoki's. When Onoki saw his son and bodyguard both injured, his mind wavered, and Jiraiya seized the opportunity to strike him with a powerful sage technique, sending Onoki flying.

Three minutes in, and all three Iwagakure shinobi were gravely wounded.

Realizing the dire situation, Kitsuchi and Akatsuchi exchanged a glance, seemingly making a decision. Their chakra flared as they moved to the edge of the Four Violet Flames Formation, grabbing at the barrier and tearing it open with all their strength.

The searing violet flames began to burn their bodies, but they gritted their teeth and held on.

"Go, now!" they shouted, enduring the pain.

If they were captured, Onoki might still have room to negotiate. But if Onoki were to die here, Iwagakure would be finished.

Weighing the lesser of two evils, Onoki understood their intent. After a brief hesitation, he quickly fled through the gap they had created.

Sage Art: Hair Needle Senbon!

Jiraiya's hair transformed into countless needles, shooting towards Onoki.

At this point, if Onoki escaped, all their efforts would be for nothing.

No one had anticipated that Kitsuchi and Akatsuchi would tear open the formation at the cost of their own lives.

Onoki raised his hand, pouring all his chakra into a defensive Earth Style barrier behind him.

The Hair Needle Senbon shredded through the earth barrier like a machine gun ripping through a wooden board, rapidly tearing it apart.

But the barrier held just long enough for Onoki to escape the formation and take to the sky, quickly fleeing into the distance.

In moments like this, the ability to fly was invaluable.

On the ground, all that remained was a severed leg, charred and blackened by the Lightning Blade's searing burn.

Kapitel 130: Chapter 130: The Shinobi World Shaken - Mission Accomplished Ahead of Schedule

Kitsuchi and Akatsuchi lay on the ground, their bodies charred and blackened, looking utterly defeated. Their desperate attempt to tear through the Four Violet Flames Formation had shocked the Konoha shinobi. It was a reckless move, something one would expect from the Raikage—tearing open the barrier with bare hands? Could anyone really pull off such a feat?

Konoha had its Will of Fire, but Iwagakure had something akin to a "Will of Stone," which, as much as it pained them to admit, was worthy of respect.

Akira looked down at Kitsuchi and Akatsuchi, both unconscious and severely burned. He could kill them easily, but now, with the Tsuchikage having lost a leg, the battle between Konoha and Iwagakure was surely decided in Konoha's favor.

At this point, these two were more useful alive. As prisoners, they could be bargaining chips in negotiations with Iwagakure. If the village wanted to get them back, it would have to pay a hefty price.

"We won?" Hyuga Hiashi's voice was filled with astonishment as he gazed at the severed leg left behind by the Tsuchikage. Although their goal had been to kill the Tsuchikage, he was still an old and powerful Kage-level shinobi. No one had been entirely confident that they could actually take him down.

But now, to have severed one of the Tsuchikage's legs—it was an unbelievable accomplishment.

"Let's head back. And make sure these two don't die," Akira said loudly as he sealed the Tsuchikage's leg into a scroll.

At the base of Tetsuyama Pass, the Iwagakure shinobi saw their Tsuchikage return with one leg missing and without Kitsuchi and Akatsuchi. They were horrified and immediately retreated, too terrified to even consider attacking the Konoha forces.

Meanwhile, the Konoha shinobi, upon seeing the injured prisoners and learning that Akira had cut off the Tsuchikage's leg, were electrified with excitement. Their loud cheers filled the air—this was a decisive victory for Konoha!

But the significance of this victory went far beyond the battlefield. Why had the three great shinobi villages dared to challenge Konoha? Wasn't it because they thought Konoha was weakened and ripe for the picking?

Today's victory was a resounding slap in the face to those who underestimated Konoha. It sent a clear message to the other great villages and the entire shinobi world: Konoha might be weakened, but even a dying lion is stronger than a mere dog. Konoha, the greatest of the Five Great Shinobi Villages, wasn't going to be so easily conquered.

Konoha's shinobi remained stationed at the border of the Land of Earth, awaiting the inevitable negotiations with the defeated Iwagakure.

In the first clash, Iwagakure's vanguard was decisively beaten. In the second, the Tsuchikage lost a leg, and Kitsuchi and Akatsuchi, two of Iwagakure's key figures, were taken prisoner. As the victors, Konoha now held the upper hand in all negotiations.

However, talks between great nations weren't something that could be resolved in a few days. Both sides continued to probe and negotiate.

Meanwhile, news of the battle in the Land of Earth spread like wildfire through the shinobi world. Iwagakure's vanguard had been defeated, and the Tsuchikage himself, after personally entering the battlefield, had lost a leg to Akira. Kitsuchi and Akatsuchi had been captured while buying the Tsuchikage time to escape.

Even if Iwagakure wanted to keep this quiet, there was no way Konoha would let such a victory be hidden. The news quickly reached every corner of the shinobi world, sending shockwaves throughout.

Akira's name once again echoed across the shinobi world.

"Ha ha ha! Who would have thought that this kid would shine even brighter on the battlefield!" The elderly leader of Konoha smiled broadly when he received the news from the front lines. There was nothing more gratifying for an old man than to see his grandson achieve such greatness.

Back in Konoha, the villagers' spirits were lifted by the news. Many had harbored some resentment toward the Uchiha for starting a coup, which had led to Konoha's vulnerable position. But with this overwhelming victory, their worries were eased, and the position of the Fifth Hokage was further solidified.

"This Akira... his power is growing stronger by the day. He will undoubtedly become a significant threat to us in the future," Obito and Nagato of the Akatsuki were similarly shaken by the news. They were beginning to feel the full weight of the threat Akira posed.

"What? Even the Third Tsuchikage lost a leg?"

"Iwagakure's vanguard of over two thousand was devastated, with hundreds taken down by Akira alone?"

"And Jiraiya, one of the legendary Sannin, has returned to Konoha?"

"Send word to the border. Withdraw all our gathered shinobi."

This was the reaction in Sunagakure when they heard the news. The village had been considering an attack on Konoha, but this decisive victory put an end to those thoughts. All the gathered shinobi were ordered to retreat.

The rankings among the Five Great Shinobi Villages were an open secret. Konoha was undoubtedly the strongest. After all, the system of one village per nation had been established by Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha. The other villages had simply followed Konoha's example.

Next in line was Kumogakure, which constantly sought to challenge Konoha for the top spot.

Third was Iwagakure. The Third Tsuchikage, an experienced Kage-level shinobi, and the village's two Jinchuriki were powerful assets, with Dust Release techniques feared across the world.

Fourth was Sunagakure, leaving Kirigakure as the weakest, especially after being nearly destroyed under Obito's manipulation.

Now, even Iwagakure had suffered a significant defeat, with the Tsuchikage losing a leg. Knowing they were weaker than Iwagakure, Sunagakure had no choice but to abandon any thoughts of challenging Konoha.

At this point, the shinobi world's attention shifted to Kumogakure. How would they respond?

Would they risk everything in a head-to-head confrontation with Konoha? Or would they step back, knowing the odds were against them?

For now, one thing was certain: Akira's name had once again reverberated across the shinobi world, with some even whispering that he was a "Kage Slayer."

Why? The Hokage of Konoha had died at his hands, and now the Tsuchikage of Iwagakure had lost a leg to him.

Who would be next? The Kazekage of Sunagakure? The Mizukage of Kirigakure? Or perhaps the Raikage of Kumogakure?

Amid the shockwaves rippling through the shinobi world, Konoha and Iwagakure held seven or eight rounds of negotiations before finally coming to an agreement.

Iwagakure would pay Konoha a massive amount of resources as compensation for their defeat. Additionally, Kitsuchi and Akatsuchi would be ransomed for one billion ryo.

Akira was satisfied with this ransom. After all, the bounty on Asuma, the Hokage's son, had only been 20 million ryo. A billion ryo for the Tsuchikage's son and his bodyguard? That was more than enough.

Akira had underestimated the impact of severing the Tsuchikage's leg. As soon as the negotiations with Iwagakure were finalized and the terms executed, he received two pieces of good news.

First, Iwagakure's defeat had indeed frightened Sunagakure into retreating. All 1,200 elite shinobi stationed at the border of the Land of Wind were now free to be redeployed.

Sunagakure's initial aim had been to test Konoha's strength. If they saw an opportunity, they wouldn't hesitate to strike. But if they found none, they'd pull back.

The Tsuchikage had tested Konoha's defenses at the cost of his leg, revealing the village's true strength to Sunagakure. With this revelation, Sunagakure abandoned any further ambitions.

Of the Four Great Shinobi Villages, Kirigakure had remained silent from the beginning. Sunagakure had been intimidated and had withdrawn. Iwagakure had suffered a crushing defeat.

Now, only Kumogakure remained.

With 800 of the 1,200 elite shinobi from the border now joining his forces, Akira prepared to march toward Kumogakure. But before he could leave, the second piece of good news arrived.

Kumogakure had also retreated!

Indeed, the situation had boiled down to a solo showdown between Kumogakure and Konoha. Even the hot-headed Raikage must have realized that swallowing Konoha whole was an impossible feat.

Victory wasn't guaranteed, and even if they won, it would be a Pyrrhic victory, leaving them vulnerable to other villages. The Raikage wasn't willing to risk that.

After several meetings, Kumogakure's leadership decided to pull back.

In truth, Akira was surprised by this news, though upon reflection, it made perfect sense. Onoki's personal involvement had posed a significant threat. In two life simulations, Akira had either been killed in an ambush or left crippled during peace talks.

But with great risk came great reward. This crushing defeat of Iwagakure and the severing of the Tsuchikage's leg had shaken the shinobi world so thoroughly that Akira's mission had been completed ahead of schedule.

He no longer needed to march on the Land of Lightning!

In doing so, Akira had likely quashed the seeds of a Fourth Great Shinobi War that might have arisen from the other villages' ambitions to divide up Konoha.

P/S: From the author (Recently, I've seen some feedback in the reviews, and I wanted to address two points. First, will the Mangekyo Sharingan be unlocked? Of course! What's the point of being reborn as an Uchiha if you don't unlock your full potential? Second, regarding the protagonist's young age, I'll be adjusting the plot to allow him to grow older naturally. After all, with his abilities, it wouldn't make sense for him not to reach Sage of Six Paths level in seven or eight years. But I'll handle the progression carefully to avoid any inconsistencies.)
