Master, Please Become a Hokage

But at this moment, the two were very close, and Sarui decided to take a risk.

After all, a ninja is a profession that walks on the edge of life and death.

Storm Release attacks consume a great deal of chakra and cannot be used unless it is a critical moment.

Once used, it must succeed!

Chi!

The Storm Release laser released from Sarui's palm instantly hit Sarutobi Akira.

Sarui's eyes widened, and he felt joy in his heart.

In addition, although Storm Release is a laser made of chakra, it is also non-physical, just like a real laser.

Its lethality comes from the laser beam rapidly melting the target's body surface, causing the substance to vaporize.

Therefore, the essence of Storm Release is the high temperature associated with a high-density, high-power laser beam.

The main component of the human body is biological protein, which can generally be easily cut open.

In fact, this was the case, and the laser directly cut Sarutobi Akira in half.

However, with a 'peng' sound of smoke, "Sarutobi Akira" disappeared into the air!

"Shadow clone?!"

Sarui's pupils shrank, and he immediately realized that the opponent must have taken advantage of the Wind Release: Great Breakthrough to block his vision and create a shadow clone to confuse him.

In a flash of lightning, Sarui completed his thought process.

Feeling a chill on the back of his head, he immediately turned his body and swept the Storm Release laser beam continuously emitted from his hand towards the approaching enemy.

"Ice Release..."

But just as he turned behind him, a cold tone... sounded from in front of him.

This is an ice mirror.

Inside, Sarui's own figure was reflected.

He hadn't realized what was going on.

The laser beam shining on it was reflected back because of the extremely smooth, mirror-like surface.

Chi!

The laser beam flashed past, and Sarui's body trembled slightly.

Along with a burnt smell, his upper body slowly slid down diagonally, falling to the icy and snowy ground with a thud.

"...Demonic Mirror Ice Crystals."

Sarutobi Akira removed the dazzling ice mirror and looked at the deceased lying on the ground.

Ice Release: Demonic Mirror Ice Crystals can create one or more mirrors, reflecting what the caster wants from them.

In other words, this technique can be used as a mirror alone.

And mirrors can refract lasers.

To some extent, it can also be said that Ice Release... can restrain Storm Release to a certain extent and under certain circumstances!

But doing so carries a great risk.

If the ice mirror's reflectivity is not enough and the surface is not smooth enough, then... the ice mirror will absorb the heat of the laser, instantly boiling, evaporating, and cracking.

In the end, the chaotic, unorganized laser beams that penetrate it will be unpredictably projected everywhere, leading to even more dangerous situations.

A risky move.

But he just didn't have this worry.

As a stream of frost invaded the blade, it was covered with a layer of ice and snow.

Sarutobi Akira... was overflowing with killing intent!

"Captain Sarui~~!!"

Several survivors cried out in grief, some with tears in their eyes, others with extreme anger.

Staring at the enemies in front of him, Sarutobi Akira held the blade and charged directly into the crowd.

With the roar and screams, in less than a few seconds, several dismembered frozen corpses appeared on the land of the Land of Frost.

"Those who plunder will be plundered..."

Sarutobi Akira held the broadsword, stared at the ice corpses on the scene, and said in a low voice.

Kumogakure... is a country that is prone to plunder.

Whether in wartime or peacetime, they are eyeing other countries.

It can also be said that they have bandit habits.

It's not just Konoha that has problems, Kumogakure Village is also sick.

Or rather, the entire ninja world is very sick.

But from now on, many things will slowly change and develop in a good direction.

"..."

Hyuga Ruri surveyed the corpses scattered on the ground, all the chakra gradually disappearing from the corpses like extinguished lights.

Only the man standing in the field was as bright as a torch.

[Inject the Will of Fire into Hyuga Ruri...]

[Progress: 2%]

Chapter 6. Eight Gates Formation vs. Jinchuriki!

"Akira-sama, are you alright?"

The Umino couple immediately stepped forward and asked.

At this time, the way they looked at Sarutobi Akira already carried complete respect.

Able to summon and freely command Lady Katsuyu.

Can use Ice Release - Kekkei Genkai.

And also killed the long-established, given a name by the Third Raikage, Kumogakure powerhouse who can use Black Lightning and Storm Release... Black Lightning no Sarui...

All of these performances made them admire Sarutobi Akira, and they no longer underestimated this young man in the slightest.

Even though the other party was many years younger than them, Sarutobi Akira relied on his powerful strength to convince them completely.

Akira-sama is definitely fully qualified for the position of Sixth Squad Leader of the Anbu!

"Well, it's not a big problem. Sarui's remains have analytical value, and I will recover them..."

Sarutobi Akira nodded and casually instructed.

"Then we will collect the corpses of the other enemies." The Umino couple consciously began the professional work of the Anbu—collecting corpses.

And when Sarutobi Akira turned his gaze to Nonou, her expression changed several times, as if she had something to say.

Soon, Sarutobi Akira saw the change in the Will of Fire progress on the emotionless Byakugan girl.

"It's become [2%]..."

Born into a branch family and bound by the Caged Bird Seal, Hyuga Ruri had no expectations for life.

The dim and gloomy fate made her heart as dead as ashes.

But...

After all, people's hearts are made of flesh.

Sarutobi Akira believed that he could slowly change her, change everything.

One day, he would settle the problem of the branch and main families for them.

After storing Sarui's body, Sarutobi Akira did not ask Nonou to say anything.

Instead, he directly ordered everyone that he was going to check on Hatake Sakumo.

"Katsuyu, thank you for your hard work..."

Peng!

Smoke rose, and the huge figure disappeared.

Immediately afterward, a small slug fell from the sky and lay on Sarutobi Akira's shoulder.

"What's going on with Sakumo-sama?" Katsuyu asked.

One is all, and all is one.

No matter how Katsuyu splits, they all have the same consciousness.

Therefore, at this moment, Katsuyu has withdrawn from the battle, but it still intends to understand what happened to Hatake Sakumo.

Having watched Nawaki and Katō Dan die one after another in the past.

Now, no more tragedies can be allowed to happen.

"I'll tell you on the way..."

Sarutobi Akira strode forward, and his whole person cut through the air like an arrow leaving the string, stirring up wind and snow.

Soon, Sarutobi Akira's back disappeared into the horizon about to dawn.

Yamanaka Kei: "Then please explain your side as well."

A devilish smile bloomed.

Yamanaka Kei watched Nonou leisurely, waiting for her to explain the specific details of this mission.

On the other side, the Umino couple were still continuously collecting corpses...

"..."

Nonou adjusted her glasses.

She glanced at Yamanaka Kei, and then at the emotionless Byakugan girl standing motionless in place.

There was also Ringo Ameyuri, who was watching the fun from the puddle with a fierce look.

She believed that if she didn't speak, Mr. Haiichi's cousin would probably really dig out her brain using the Yamanaka clan's secret technique...

Although her brain has been set with a restriction, like the safest safe, sealing all the information.

In other words.

Nonou was willing to tell these things.

Because she saw a possibility in Sarutobi Akira... a brand new possibility.

"No problem."

So, Nonou raised her head, and her expression changed from compassion to resilience.

"But you have to tell me first, the whole story of Akira-sama coming to rescue Sakumo-sama..."

......

"That's how it is."

On the frost road, Sarutobi Akira moved forward all the way.
