Chapter 320: The Fall of Rock Village

Chapter 320: The Fall of Rock Village

Ōnoki felt a bit uneasy.

Back then, the old man knew that the Dust Release technique he taught was all fake.

However, Akihara Kagura still mastered the Dust Release, which made Ōnoki feel like a sinner to Rock Village. He even used Akihara Kagura as an example to force his student Deidara to learn Dust Release, which directly shattered Deidara's mindset, leading him to leave the village and join the Akatsuki.

"Wait..."

The Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki suddenly remembered a name Tsunade had mentioned, and cold sweat immediately appeared on his forehead: "You just said... Akihara Kagura used Dust Release to defeat whom?"

"Uchiha Madara."

Tsunade coldly stated the name and continued: "That legendary figure was also resurrected by Akihara Kagura's scheme and was defeated by him. He will also be involved in the war to stop Akihara Kagura from destroying the ninja world..."

"!!!"

The Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki's face changed drastically, and sweat slowly trickled down his face, as if he was filled with fear: "Even Uchiha Madara lost to Akihara Kagura..."

"Why is Lord Tsuchikage so surprised?"

The Fifth Mizukage Mei Terumi looked at Ōnoki's expression and couldn't help but speak: "No one in the ninja world has ever been able to defeat Akihara Kagura. It's quite normal for Uchiha Madara, such a legendary figure, to lose to him, isn't it?"

"No..."

The Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki shook his head and spoke to himself: "It's not like that... You cannot understand what this truly means..."

"You don't understand the terror of Uchiha Madara..."

The Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki lowered his head slowly and continued in a deep voice: "You naturally won't know what it means to defeat Uchiha Madara..."

As someone who had personally experienced Uchiha Madara's power, Ōnoki, in his youth, along with his teacher, the Second Tsuchikage, had their wills completely shattered by Madara with just one blow...

Until today...

Ōnoki had become increasingly powerful and even became the Tsuchikage, but he could understand even more how terrifying Uchiha Madara was back then...

However...

It seems Dust Release is also very powerful...

The Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki felt that his years of effort might not have been in vain. After all, he had developed a powerful ninjutsu, and if he faced Uchiha Madara again, he might not necessarily lose.

"It's normal for Uchiha Madara to lose to him..."

The Fifth Kazekage Gaara frowned and coldly said: "Hasn't it been established in the ninja world that he is the new God of Ninja, surpassing the First Hokage?"

"Akihara Kagura is stronger than the First Hokage."

Tsunade, sitting in her seat, calmed her voice: "I did not come here to argue about right and wrong with you, but to hope that you can join us in preventing the destruction of the ninja world. The Konoha ninjas will definitely lead the charge..."

"Speaking of which..."

The Fourth Raikage A wanted to refute Tsunade coldly.

"Akihara Kagura's current target is the Eight-Tails of Cloud Village!"

However, Tsunade interrupted the Fourth Raikage with one sentence and continued solemnly: "To destroy the ninja world, Akihara Kagura needs to revive the Ten-Tails, which requires all nine tailed beasts in the ninja world. He has already obtained seven tailed beasts, and the next target is the Eight-Tails..."

"This should have been mentioned earlier!"

The Fourth Raikage angrily cursed and was about to turn and order his subordinates to hide the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki Killer Bee immediately.

"Cloud Village cannot protect the Eight-Tails..."

Tsunade pierced through reality with one sentence, her voice cold: "Akihara Kagura alone is enough to easily conquer Cloud Village, and this is not something he hasn't done before..."

"..."

The Fourth Raikage immediately became more agitated.

At this moment...

The Fourth Raikage even thought of the apple tree in his office!

The last time Akihara Kagura conquered Cloud Village, he captured the Fourth Raikage and brought him to Konoha, forcing Cloud Village to hand over all their secret techniques...

That guy even ate the apple in his office, claimed it was tasteless, and planted an apple tree in his office as an insult!

That apple tree was like a scar!

After being released back to Cloud Village by Tsunade, the Fourth Raikage did not remove that apple tree but wanted to remind himself of the humiliation of Cloud Village's defeat!

Now...

That bastard was going to attack Cloud Village again!

Everyone present gradually calmed down.

The Kage of the five great nations had to admit that they must unite to resist Akihara Kagura's attempt to destroy the ninja world.

Any single ninja village would inevitably be defeated by Akihara Kagura. Except for Rock Village, the other ninja villages had already been crushed, and the Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki even felt slightly relieved that Rock Village had never fallen...

However...

An urgent voice suddenly reached the conference hall!

A Rock Anbu Ninja, disregarding others' attempts to stop him and ignoring that this was the site of the Five Kage Summit, loudly shouted at the Third Tsuchikage:

"Lord Third Tsuchikage!"

Kitsuchi looked at Akihara Kagura with a complex expression.

This time...

Akihara Kagura's attack was too fast!

The ninjas of Rock Village didn't even have time to react. The entire village was completely surrounded by tens of thousands of White Zetsu before they realized they were under attack. The vines and roots from the Wood Release: Advent of a World of Flowering Trees covered the entire village, capturing all the Rock Village ninjas inside.

Kitsuchi was the only one capable of fighting back...

Unfortunately...

Kitsuchi's counterattack seemed weak and powerless.

The vines from the Wood Release quickly captured him, binding him to a tree and absorbing his chakra.

Soon enough.

The storage facility for Rock Village's secret techniques was completely looted by the White Zetsu.

"Alright."

After a simple polite gesture, Akihara Kagura's expression turned arrogant, "As a reward for your cooperation, I won't kill any of the Rock Village ninjas this time. I will allow all of you to exist until the end of this world."

"Oh, by the way."

Akihara Kagura tilted his head, seemingly calculating like a child solving a math problem, "I am also skilled in the Super Light-Weight Rock Technique for flying. Theoretically, if your people go to report now, they shouldn't be able to catch up with the Third Tsuchikage's flying speed, right?"

"He should be attending the Five Kage Summit, right? Don't deny it, Kitsuchi. I am well aware of this, otherwise, I wouldn't have attacked Rock Village at this time."

"..."

Kitsuchi was shocked in his heart.

"Let me lend a hand."

Akihara Kagura extended his hand, placing it directly on Kitsuchi, "If you send someone to report now, it should be just in time for the Five Kage Summit. You can inform the Third Tsuchikage..."

As Akihara Kagura moved...

Kitsuchi's body involuntarily floated up!

The Earth Release: Super Light-Weight Rock Technique instantly freed Kitsuchi from gravity!

"This is... the Super Light-Weight Rock Technique!"

Kitsuchi recognized his father Onoki's technique.

Even in Rock Village, only Onoki, who had studied it for decades, could master this gravity-defying flight technique. However, many in Rock Village knew that Akihara Kagura learned this technique in just a few words from Deidara!

"Perfect timing..."

Akihara Kagura smiled as he looked at the floating Kitsuchi, "Now you can go report. Take advantage of the time the Five Kage Summit is convening to inform them that the end is near. I have already collected all the knowledge of this world. There is nothing left worth keeping for the new world..."

After saying this, Akihara Kagura left.

Seeing Akihara Kagura leave, Kitsuchi hurried to Rock Village to report.

As Akihara Kagura had anticipated, when Kitsuchi arrived at Rock Village, the Five Kage Summit had just begun. He had no choice but to report the news.

The Third Tsuchikage Onoki, aware of the severity of the situation, quickly had his son inform the others present about what happened in Rock Village.

"That guy..."

"The reason he demanded other ninja villages to surrender their secret techniques was for this..."

"Akihara Kagura has long harbored the intention of world annihilation and creation..."

Tsunade's heart trembled as she heard the reason for Akihara Kagura's plundering of secret techniques, "He has already obtained the techniques of all the ninja villages in the Five Great Nations. He wants to leave those techniques and knowledge for the world he creates..."

"What about that army!"

The Fourth Raikage banged the table and loudly questioned, "Tsunade, you should know about that army, right?"

"They are likely a type of creature called White Zetsu..."

Tsunade frowned and revealed what she knew, "It is said that these creatures were transformed from humans. We do not yet know their true strength..."

"They are vast in number..."

The Third Tsuchikage Onoki looked at everyone present, implicitly acknowledging their impending alliance, and said gravely, "At least tens of thousands, possibly more. Besides dealing with Akihara Kagura, we may need to form a large army to combat them..."

"I'm more concerned about another issue now..."

Tsunade took a deep breath and solemnly reminded them, "Now that Akihara Kagura has obtained all the secret techniques from the ninja villages of the Five Great Nations, his exceptional talent allows him to master any ninjutsu within a minute. During the time we are meeting, he has likely already mastered all the secret techniques from Rock Village..."

"Even the Earth Release techniques are in his hands..."

As Tsunade said this, she couldn't help but think of her friend Orochimaru's dream, "Now, Akihara Kagura almost possesses all the techniques and knowledge of the ninja world..."
