Chapter 286: Chapter 286: Finding a Solution to Deal with Otsutsuki Toneri!



After obtaining one million explosive tags, Akira went to the Hokage's office and handed over two hundred thousand tags to Hokage Fugaku.

Naturally, Fugaku had no intention of reneging on their deal and approved Akira's request for a 200 million ryo funding allocation for further procurement.

With these 200 million funds in hand, a smile crept across Akira's face. Great, for the next half month or so, he wouldn't need to worry about lacking funds for the Life Simulation.

With these funds secured, Akira contemplated what he planned to do next and decided to activate the Life Simulator.

Ten million ryo vanished instantly as the simulator started up.

[One week later, Konoha formed an elite squad to attack the Akatsuki, while you stayed behind in the village.]

[Two weeks later, a fierce battle broke out between Konoha's elite forces and the Akatsuki. Jiraiya fell in battle, Might Guy also perished, and several others sustained injuries.]

[The Akatsuki was nearly annihilated. Nagato died, Obito escaped, and the rest of the Akatsuki members suffered heavy casualties.]

[Upon returning, Sasuke successfully transplanted Itachi's Sharingan, thereby unlocking the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan, greatly boosting his strength.]

[Two months later, Sasuke discovered Toneri's whereabouts. You joined him to confront and seal Toneri.]

[Upon returning to Konoha, you found that Hinata had been abducted, and Hanabi's Byakugan had also been taken!]

[You knew the abductor must be Otsutsuki Toneri.]

[You journeyed to the moon to rescue Hinata.]

[You died!]

This simulation left Akira frowning, his expression darkening as the scenario played out. So, even though he had specifically stayed back to protect Hinata during the Akatsuki mission, Toneri hadn't shown up then. Instead, Toneri struck two months later, during Akira's absence to deal with Toneri himself.

"So it seems that Toneri chooses to make his move whenever I leave Konoha," Akira thought to himself. It was evident now that Toneri was watching for opportunities, waiting for Akira to be away before taking action.

If the first time was a coincidence, the second time made it clear: Toneri was targeting Hinata the moment Akira left the village. There was no way it was a mere coincidence.

The situation left Akira feeling even worse. As the saying goes, "It's not the thief you need to fear, but the thief constantly eyeing you."

That's exactly what Toneri had become a persistent threat. If he directly attacked, Akira wouldn't be afraid; he'd fight head-on. Without having activated the Tenseigan, Toneri wasn't an opponent Akira feared.

From both the original storyline and the simulator, it was clear that Toneri needed Hanabi's Byakugan to activate his Tenseigan. As long as he hadn't done so, Toneri was less of a threat.

Having figured out Toneri's behavior-waiting for Akira to leave Konoha before making a move-Akira decided to adjust his strategy and conduct another Life Simulation.

This time, Akira chose to leave Konoha with the elite squad to attack the Akatsuki, but he took Hanabi with him.

With Akira's involvement, Konoha's elite force didn't lose anyone and defeated the Akatsuki. The most important outcome was Hinata's situation.

[You and Hinata moved to the Land of Snow to settle down.]

[The Akatsuki resurfaced to collect the Tailed Beasts, but you stayed in the Land of Snow.]

[Half a year later, Sasuke, Boruto, and others fought against Toneri and defeated him. You did not participate.]

[A year later, the Akatsuki successfully gathered all nine Tailed Beasts, and Uchiha Madara was resurrected, becoming the Sage of Six Paths.]

[Hinata couldn't stay put any longer and headed to the Ninja World to help. You, unable to let

her go alone, followed her.]

[On the battlefield of the Land of Fire, Madara immediately locked onto you and attacked.]

[You died under the power of Limbo: Border Jail!]

[Please choose three aspects to improve.]

In this simulation, Akira decided to go into full survival mode. Whether it was facing Toneri

or dealing with the Akatsuki collecting the Tailed Beasts, Akira refrained from getting involved his aim was purely to stay alive.

But in the end, Hinata couldn't bear to stay on the sidelines and decided to help in the war. Naturally, Akira couldn't let her go alone.

Unexpectedly, the moment they arrived, Madara targeted Akira directly.

If it had been an ordinary, super Kage-level Madara, Akira was confident he could fight for hundreds of rounds. But with Madara at the Sage of Six Paths level, Akira was no match for him—which, considering the circumstances, made sense.

Despite everything, this time he had survived an entire year compared to just six months in previous simulations. The longer survival allowed him a year of training, which wasn't too

bad.

Akira chose to increase his chakra reserves. Over the year, he added over 2,000 chakra points to his reserves, which he considered a decent outcome.

Chakra training is akin to rolling a snowball-the bigger the snowball, the more snow it

gathers as it rolls.

In earlier years, his chakra increased by only a few dozen points annually. Now, however, his yearly growth had reached over 2,000 points, equivalent to the chakra reserves of a Jonin-

level ninja.

All things considered, Akira was happy with his progress.
