Chương 210: Chapter 210: Uchiha Akira’s Open Strategy—A Plan Ōnoki Can’t Refuse!

"Come in," Akira said, hearing the voice from outside.

The door opened, and in stepped a shinobi from Iwagakure. He looked about forty years old, with a steady and composed demeanor.

Akira recognized Zitu instantly. As the leader of one of Iwagakure's ninja clans, his status was comparable to that of Hiashi Hyuga in Konoha. His strength was near the peak of Jonin, with hints of touching the Kage level.

Why would he visit so late at night? Akira could easily guess the reason.

"Lord Akira, I'm here because of what you said earlier today," Zitu said without wasting any time, getting straight to the point.

He agreed with Akira that the Third Tsuchikage was too old and should step aside for the younger generation. And of course, he praised Konoha for flourishing since the Uchiha took charge, rapidly developing and growing in strength.

"Well said. A person should always strive to climb higher, but when age catches up, they should know when to step down instead of hogging resources and blocking the path for the next generation," Akira replied with a smile, hinting that he was willing to help Zitu overthrow Ōnoki.

Zitu's face lit up with excitement upon hearing Akira's words. If Akira was willing to support him, his chances of becoming the Fourth Tsuchikage seemed closer than ever.

"Rest assured, Lord Akira, if I succeed, Iwagakure will maintain a lasting and friendly relationship with Konoha," Zitu promised, painting a hopeful picture of the future.

"Hahaha, I wish you the best of luck in becoming the next Tsuchikage," Akira responded, though internally he scoffed. Zitu's promise was nothing but an empty check. Still, Akira kept up appearances, pretending to be fully invested in Zitu's ambitions.

Akira even began discussing potential plans for the coup with Zitu, who was more than happy to share his initial strategies.

For about half an hour, the two went back and forth, planning in detail.

"Hmph, Zitu, you really are having quite the dream, aren't you?"

Suddenly, as Akira and Zitu were deep in conversation, the door was pushed open again, and Ōnoki floated into the room, his small form suspended in the air. Right behind him was Sasuke.

Zitu's face turned pale. He had been discussing overthrowing the Third Tsuchikage, only for that very same Tsuchikage to walk in on the conversation. Zitu glanced at Sasuke, and everything became clear—Sasuke had informed Ōnoki.

"You… You tipped him off? You set me up! Why, Lord Akira? This makes no sense!" Zitu's voice was filled with disbelief, shock, and anger.

From his point of view, any internal strife within Iwagakure should have been advantageous for Konoha. That was why he had approached Akira for help in the first place.

Akira had agreed to his face, yet here he was, standing alongside Ōnoki. Why would Akira do this?

"I do believe the elderly should make way for the younger generation when their skills decline," Akira said, staring Zitu down, "but I also despise seeing someone with no real talent trying to rise to power."

Zitu's strength barely scratched the surface of the Kage level. He hadn't even noticed when Sasuke left to fetch Ōnoki. To Akira, Zitu was nothing more than a fool who didn't know his limits. Why would Akira team up with someone like that to overthrow a Tsuchikage?

"All because of that? You're backing Ōnoki just to stop me?" Zitu shook his head in disbelief. "That doesn't make any sense."

He couldn't understand why Akira would be against his coup when it should have been beneficial to Konoha.

Akira didn't bother responding. Instead, he turned to Ōnoki and said, "Take him away. This disturbance is interrupting our rest."

Naturally, Zitu, with his ambition of becoming the next Tsuchikage, was taken away by Ōnoki without resistance.

"Well, I just helped Ōnoki squash a rebellion before it even started. This should give me some leverage to demand even more in war reparations," Akira thought with a smirk.

"He's completely delusional. How can someone without Kage-level strength even think of taking the Tsuchikage's seat?" Kakashi commented, expressing his disdain for Zitu's ambition.

If someone wanted to be Hokage, they needed the strength and qualifications to back it up. The same applied to Iwagakure. If you couldn't reach Kage-level power, you had no business even considering it.

"In Konoha, only people like Jiraiya, Tsunade, or Kakashi himself could be considered strong enough to be Hokage. Zitu didn't even come close," Kakashi continued. "It's common sense—how could Zitu not understand that?"

"Still, Akira, I'm curious," Sasuke said. "Zitu's clan isn't weak. If we had supported him, Iwagakure would have plunged into chaos. Wouldn't that have been good for us?"

Sasuke couldn't wrap his head around it.

Even if the coup failed, it would still have been beneficial for Konoha to see Iwagakure weakened. So why didn't Akira go along with the plan?

"Sasuke, think about it," Akira replied. "If we really helped him, the coup would likely fail, but in the aftermath, do you think Ōnoki would still pay us the war reparations?"

"There's no way he would," Sasuke admitted, understanding Akira's point.

"Exactly," Akira said. "And without the reparations, it would be a loss for us."

"Still, that doesn't seem like enough reason," Sasuke countered, still feeling like something didn't quite add up. "War reparations are important, but they're not as significant as destabilizing Iwagakure. Surely you can see that, right?"

"Of course," Akira thought to himself, amused by Sasuke's reasoning.

The real reason, the one he hadn't shared, was that Iwagakure wasn't even on his radar as a serious threat. His true enemies were Nagato, Obito, and Madara Uchiha.

To take on those foes, he needed the strength of all five Great Nations. Weakening Iwagakure now would only hurt his plans for the larger battle ahead.

Helping Zitu wouldn't have been worth it. Instead, Akira preferred to let Iwagakure remain stable, under Ōnoki's leadership, so they could stand as a potential ally against the looming threats.

Why destroy Iwagakure when they could be useful later?

In the meantime, betraying Zitu earned him extra leverage over Ōnoki, which could help him squeeze out more compensation. It was a win-win situation.

Ōnoki, meanwhile, spent the night tossing and turning, unable to sleep. Akira had not only refused Zitu's offer but had actively handed him over to Ōnoki. The Third Tsuchikage couldn't understand Akira's motives.

And because he couldn't understand them, he spent the entire night racking his brain over it, with no peace of mind.

The real problem was that Ōnoki's perspective was too limited. He was still thinking in terms of village politics and rivalries, while Akira was playing a much larger game, considering the fate of the entire ninja world.

The next morning, Akira and his group resumed negotiations with Iwagakure regarding the war reparations.

Akira brought up the incident with Zitu, hinting that this act of preventing a coup was worth quite a bit.

Reluctantly, Ōnoki agreed to raise the compensation to five times the original offer—thanks to Akira's actions the previous night. But he refused to go higher.

Akira, however, had other plans.

"Old man, I've noticed that Iwagakure's terrain is mostly rocky and barren. Not too different from the desert around Sunagakure, is it?"

Ōnoki nodded, a touch of bitterness in his voice. "It can't compare to Konoha's lush forests, that's for sure."

"Well, all this boils down to you being envious of our forests, right?" Akira said with a grin. "Here's my offer—ten times the compensation, and I'll use Wood Release: Deep Forest Emergence to turn the lands around Iwagakure into a forest. How about that?"

Ōnoki's eyes lit up at the suggestion. Having forests surrounding Iwagakure would be a game-changer for their barren landscape.

But then he paused, growing suspicious. "Wait… You'd leave Deep Forest Emergence here, around Iwagakure, wouldn't that just be a way to keep us constantly reminded of your power?"

Akira didn't deny it. "So, are you going to refuse?"

"I… Why would I refuse?" Ōnoki sighed in defeat. This was an open strategy—he knew exactly what Akira was planning, but he couldn't say no. The allure of turning Iwagakure's barren surroundings into a thriving forest was simply too tempting.

Even though it meant that Iwagakure would forever live under the shadow of Akira's power, the benefits far outweighed the drawbacks.

And so, Ōnoki had no choice but to agree.

Chương 211: Chapter 211: Super Deep Forest Emergence—Everyone Is Stunned!

Ōnoki finally agreed to the tenfold compensation.

To secure this deal, Akira used various tactics. First, he threatened them with sheer force. Then, he stirred up internal conflict within Iwagakure, only to suppress it himself, effectively playing both sides. After using the "stick" approach, he sweetened the deal with a "carrot."

Although it didn't cause any actual harm to Akira, it did take a lot of mental effort to achieve. But in the end, he managed to negotiate the tenfold compensation package.

Now that the deal was sealed, there was no reason for Akira to stay in Iwagakure any longer. Ōnoki immediately had his people prepare the reparations to be handed over to Akira.

Tenfold compensation—it was enough to hurt even a major village like Iwagakure. We're talking about 30,000 shuriken, 20,000 kunai, 80,000 explosive tags, and 800 million ryō in cash, plus a large amount of other supplies. For Konoha, the wealthiest of the Five Great Nations, this wouldn't be too difficult to manage—especially since they had even built a new modern city atop Hokage Rock. But for Iwagakure, this was a serious drain on their resources.

Ōnoki didn't try to hide the situation either. He let the news spread quickly throughout the village.

When the people of Iwagakure heard how much compensation was being paid to Konoha, they were shocked. After all, this wasn't a full-scale war, but the amount they were paying seemed comparable to that of a major conflict. It was like taking someone out for a casual date and ending up spending enough money to pay for a wedding!

It wasn't just wasteful—it was almost as if money meant nothing.

Ōnoki didn't bother trying to justify himself to the angry villagers. He knew they would understand soon enough.

Akira's promise to green the barren outskirts of Iwagakure, transforming its hills into lush forests, would make sense to them eventually. It was like spending a fortune on a date, but coming home with a healthy child. People would come to accept it.

Ōnoki didn't want the villagers cursing him in the meantime, though. So, the preparations for the compensation were carried out quickly. Within two days, they had scraped together everything needed by cutting back in other areas.

Once Akira inspected the supplies, he sealed everything into storage scrolls and packed it away. He couldn't stop smiling. His mood was incredibly good.

Fugaku had promised him that he could keep ten percent of whatever compensation he could secure as a reward for his hard work. This promise had been a huge motivator for Akira to push for the tenfold compensation.

And now, he had it. The cash alone amounted to 800 million ryō. What's ten percent of that? Eighty million ryō!

That's more than the bounty on a few high-level ninjas like Asuma. And that's not even counting the other supplies, which could be converted into even more cash.

"Well, this was a solid haul. After a single trip to Iwagakure, my share is going to be over a hundred million ryō!" Akira thought, grinning. "Looks like I'm a multimillionaire now!"

"One million per Life Simulation... I could go for one hundred rounds at once now."

"Soon, I'll be strong enough to punch Madara Uchiha and kick Kaguya Ōtsutsuki into the dust!"

"As for hitting the level beyond Kage, it's going to take simulations worth ten million each, but no rush—I'm close!"

With the thought of his massive payout, Akira couldn't help but be in an incredibly good mood.

"All right, Akira, the compensation's been handed over. Are you going to start now?" Ōnoki asked, his heart aching as he watched Akira's smile that wouldn't fade.

"Sure, sure. I'm on it!" Akira nodded, still grinning.

The more pained Ōnoki looked, the happier Akira became.

This trip wasn't just about extorting money—it was also about payback.

After securing the compensation, Akira stepped outside and took a deep breath. He activated Sage Mode.

Blue chakra, glowing like a flame, enveloped Akira completely.

Since he had decided to use Deep Forest Emergence to showcase his power and thoroughly intimidate Iwagakure, Akira didn't hold back. After absorbing Konan's jutsu, Akira sprouted paper wings from his back and flew into the air.

In this Sage Mode state, he resembled Naruto in his Nine-Tails Chakra Mode, with chakra radiating brilliantly from his body. Naturally, everyone in Iwagakure noticed him.

Watching Akira, glowing and soaring into the sky, many people exchanged confused glances. What was going on?

Could it be that even after receiving so much compensation from Ōnoki, Akira was still planning to attack Iwagakure?

This thought alone sent waves of anxiety through the villagers.

High above the ground, Akira hovered silently. Without a word, he formed hand seals, clapped his hands together, and shouted in his mind, Wood Release: Deep Forest Emergence!

The chakra flowed out of him like a flood, pouring into the land below.

At the same time, the entire village of Iwagakure began to shake as though an earthquake had struck, causing widespread panic among the people.

"What kind of jutsu is he using?!" many wondered in terror.

The ground around Iwagakure, and even within the village, began to split open. From those cracks, countless saplings burst forth, growing at an impossible speed.

Small saplings became large seedlings, which quickly turned into trees, and then massive trees.

It was as if the time it took for a tree to grow over a hundred years was compressed into a single minute.

Hovering in the air, Akira could see the once yellow-brown landscape of Iwagakure being overtaken by vibrant green. The greenery spread like a virus, engulfing everything in its path.

In a few moments, tens of thousands of trees had grown to full height.

These trees were spaced further apart than an ordinary Deep Forest Emergence, but they covered a much larger area!

Akira's chakra had been completely drained in this full-powered Deep Forest Emergence, leaving him utterly exhausted. He nearly fell from the sky due to the depletion.

"Chakra Extraction, begin!" Akira quickly called upon his stored chakra, a trick he had mastered from his Life Simulations.

In an instant, his chakra reserves were restored, and he drew out even more, just in case.

This Deep Forest Emergence lasted for a full five minutes, draining one and a half times Akira's full chakra reserves.

This level of chakra consumption had surpassed the Kage level.

Naturally, with such massive chakra expenditure, the scale of the jutsu was immense.

Looking down, Akira saw that Iwagakure was now encircled by a thick, one-kilometer-wide forest. Even within the village itself, various open areas had sprouted forests of their own.

In one move, Akira had completely changed the geography of Iwagakure!

"Hah, not bad. The amount of chakra I just burned through for this Deep Forest Emergence would probably make even the First Hokage hesitate!" Akira said to himself, satisfied with the result.

At this point, Akira's normal chakra reserves were around 70,000. With Sage Mode amplifying his abilities, he was already on the verge of surpassing the Kage level.

In this state, to burn through one and a half full bars of chakra—this was likely on par with even the resurrected First Hokage.

As Akira admired the results of his jutsu, everyone else was left in complete shock. Utterly stunned.

"Lord Akira… is he a god?" Karin muttered in awe, staring at him with admiration.

Women may like handsome men, but they love powerful men even more.

Akira was both incredibly handsome and impossibly strong, and Karin was completely captivated by him now.

"This can't be possible… The Uchiha clan was never known for its chakra reserves. But this… Akira's chakra is even greater than Nagato's!" Konan stared at Akira in disbelief.

In all of her time, Konan had never encountered anyone with more chakra than Nagato.

But now, Akira had shattered that belief.

"Can we even call what Yamato does 'Wood Release' anymore? Compared to Akira, Yamato's jutsu is like child's play," Kakashi thought, shaking his head.

Of course, Akira's massive chakra reserves made Kakashi jealous to no end.

"That amount of chakra is beyond anything I'll ever achieve in my lifetime," Kakashi thought, eyes full of envy.

Even Akira's own companions were awestruck by his overpowered Deep Forest Emergence. And as for the people of Iwagakure? They were absolutely dumbstruck.

Staring at the drastically altered landscape, many villagers pinched themselves, unsure if they were dreaming.

"Is this really something a human can do?"

"Is this the power of a god? How could one jutsu completely change all of Iwagakure?!"

"Just how much chakra does this kid have?!"

"He's only fourteen! How does someone that young have this much chakra?"

"Right now, his power must rival the legendary Uchiha Madara and the First Hokage!"

Ōnoki was just as dumbfounded as the rest.

It had been one thing to attack Akira seven years ago, but how could he have been foolish enough to try again now?

Suddenly, Ōnoki realized that attacking Akira had been the dumbest decision of his entire life.
