Chapter 256: Chapter 256: Shock—Can the Gold and Silver Brothers Substitute for the Nine-Tails?
"Konoha's talents just keep growing," Uchiha Akira murmured to himself as he lay quietly on his bed after another exhausting day.
First, there was Konan, who was now staying by his side. Although she wasn't technically an ally, having her close meant that the Akatsuki had one less major asset to use against him. Six billion exploding tags—just think about that! With that power, not only could Konoha be obliterated, even the entire Fire Country could be turned upside down.
So, even if Konan wasn't working for him, as long as she remained by his side and wasn't a force opposing him on behalf of the Akatsuki, it would be enough. Moreover, Roshi and Han, the two Jinchuriki, were now his direct subordinates.
Of course, in front of someone at the Super Kage level, a Jinchuriki's power didn't seem as significant. However, all the Tailed Beasts could use Tailed Beast Bombs. If Roshi and Han unleashed Tailed Beast Bombs, wouldn't they essentially be two super cannons?
What? Roshi and Han couldn't freely transform into Tailed Beasts yet? What were the Uchiha's Mangekyo Sharingan for?
A single glare from the Mangekyo Sharingan, and even the Nine-Tails had to submit. There was no way the Four-Tails and Five-Tails wouldn't comply.
The Uchiha clan currently had several Mangekyo Sharingan, after all.
Lying on his bed, Akira's mind raced with thoughts.
Originally, he had thought his main enemies in the ninja world were the Akatsuki, Madara Uchiha, and perhaps Kaguya Otsutsuki, the final boss who had betrayed Madara.
But now, Urashiki Otsutsuki had suddenly appeared, and Boruto, along with an older Sasuke, had also arrived in this timeline. Things were getting complicated.
As he pondered, Akira's consciousness began to blur. But just as he was about to drift off to sleep, he suddenly sensed a familiar chakra approaching.
Akira immediately snapped awake and sat up.
A snake appeared before him-the one used for communication with Kakuzu.
The snake opened its mouth and spat out a large scroll. Akira's heart lifted with anticipation as he unraveled it, quickly forming seals and whispering, "Release!"
The sealing technique on the scroll was undone, and a heap of money appeared in front of Akira.
By his estimation, Kakuzu had managed to gather over 20 million ryo this time-pretty impressive!
"Alright, looks like I can fund two more rounds of life simulations," Akira thought.
Aside from the money, Kakuzu had also provided crucial information.
One piece of information was about Nagato-Nagato had now come out of the shadows entirely.
The other part was the shocking news that the Akatsuki had allied with Urashiki Otsutsuki. This news made Akira feel uneasy.
The Akatsuki were already powerful and incredibly deep in their secrets, and Urashiki Otsutsuki was even stronger. And now the two had joined forces?
"Sigh, there's no other choice. It must be because I'm too powerful that they feel they have to join forces against me," Akira thought after a moment of contemplation.
Sure, dealing with the Akatsuki and Urashiki seemed difficult, but in recent encounters, he always seemed to have the upper hand.
For example, during his fight with Nagato, he had turned Tendo Pain into his own trophy. And during his battle with Urashiki, he had injured him so severely that he fled for his life.
So, while he found them difficult to deal with, they must have felt the same about him, which is why they allied.
As the saying goes, "People fear ghosts, but ghosts fear people even more."
So maybe he didn't need to worry as much-they should be the ones more worried about him. Thinking this way, Akira felt much better.
In the current three-way standoff, was he the "Cao Cao" of this world?
So, Liu Bei and Sun Quan had to join forces just to contend with him?
"Uchiha Cao Cao Akira?" Akira shook his head, dismissing the ridiculous thought from his mind.
With renewed energy, Akira activated the Life Simulator.
He had been short on funds for several days, and the 20 million ryo Kakuzu brought was like a drink of water for someone lost in the desert.
While a thirsty person in the desert could probably gulp down even half a basin of water, even a single cup was incredibly valuable.
With the Life Simulator activated, ten million ryo vanished instantly.
Then, the text from the simulator began to scroll.
[Three days later, you and Roshi and Han trained intensively. By using your Mangekyo Sharingan, you enabled them to control their Tailed Beast powers more smoothly!]n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
[Half a month later, the Akatsuki attacked Konoha, causing significant losses to the village!] [To prevent you from acting recklessly, the Akatsuki and Urashiki deliberately kept the battlefield within Konoha!]
[Konoha suffered unprecedented devastation, and Naruto Uzumaki's Nine-Tails was extracted!]
[You successfully resurrected the Fourth Hokage via Edo Tensei and used his half of the Nine-Tails to seal it back within Naruto, saving his life!]
[The ninja world trembled, and Konoha's morale plummeted!]
[Two months later, to protect the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki Killer Bee, the Fourth Great Ninja
War erupted!]
[Madara Uchiha was resurrected and successfully cast the Infinite Tsukuyomi!]
[You died.]
The results of this simulation left Akira's face looking grim.
So, the Akatsuki and Urashiki had allied and attacked Konoha? As expected, they were truly
dangerous!
And worst of all, Naruto, the main protagonist of the Naruto world, had lost the Nine-Tails? Furthermore, the Fourth Great Ninja War began in just two to three months?
Everything had escalated too quickly!
Also, the Susanoo formed by the Mangekyo Sharingan was supposed to be able to resist the Infinite Tsukuyomi. So why did he succumb to it?
This didn't make sense. Could it be that his eyes had been taken?
And given Madara's personality, once he cast the Infinite Tsukuyomi, there should have been
a battle over the Ten-Tails between him and Urashiki, right? Unfortunately, since it happened after the Infinite Tsukuyomi, Akira had no way of knowing.
Akira decided not to immediately extract the chakra but closed his eyes to get some sleep
instead.
The next morning, he still had ten million ryo remaining. After a moment of consideration, Akira decided to conduct another simulation.
Although the time covered by the simulation was short, the chakra gained was still worth it,
even if just a little.
With the final ten million ryo gone, the Life Simulator activated once again.
[Three days later, you and Roshi and Han trained intensively. By using your Mangekyo
Sharingan, you enabled them to control their Tailed Beast powers more smoothly!]
[Half a month later, the Akatsuki attacked Konoha, but you had already arranged an evacuation, ensuring there were no casualties!]
[You organized Konoha's forces to counterattack the Akatsuki!]
[You and Sasuke joined forces against Urashiki Otsutsuki!]
[At a critical moment, Black Zetsu took advantage of your depleted chakra and attached
himself to you, and you were sealed away by Nagato's Chibaku Tensei!]
[Sasuke and Naruto destroyed the Chibaku Tensei and successfully freed you!]
[The Akatsuki's attack on Konoha ended in failure!]
[Three months later, most of the Tailed Beasts, including the one in Kumogakure, fell into
the hands of the Akatsuki!]
[Half a year later, Madara Uchiha was resurrected, using deception to lure Roshi and Han out
of the village and successfully captured their Tailed Beasts, leaving the Akatsuki with eight
of the Nine Tailed Beasts!]
[Eight months later, Madara Uchiha performed the Edo Tensei to resurrect the Gold and Silver Brothers and obtained the last of the Nine-Tails chakra!]
[The Divine Tree was born, and Madara and Urashiki fought fiercely over the fruit!]
[You rallied all of Konoha's strong shinobi to fight for the fruit!]
[You died.] The timeline had extended slightly, from two or three months to over half a year.
Because he had prepared in advance, Konoha didn't lose the Nine-Tails during the attack by
the Akatsuki and Urashiki.
However, Madara was revived, used Edo Tensei to bring back the Gold and Silver Brothers, and obtained Nine-Tails chakra from them.
So, to revive the Ten-Tails, the chakra from all Nine Tailed Beasts was necessary.
However, it wasn't strictly required that every single one be sealed within the Demonic Statue
of the Outer Path.
Even the Nine-Tails chakra inside the Gold and Silver Brothers could be used to revive the
Ten-Tails?
As for the Divine Tree's fruit appearing, and the ensuing battle between Urashiki and Madara
over it-that was quite logical!
Yet, the simulation didn't provide much detail about the final battle, which occurred more
than half a year later.
Regardless, Akira had learned something important-half a month from now, the Akatsuki and Urashiki would attack Konoha, and they were targeting the Tailed Beasts!
With only half a month left to prepare, Akira felt it was crucial to get ready in advance.
After a brief moment of thought, Akira got up, washed up, and had breakfast with Keiko, the
old man, Konan, and Sasuke.
He then left his house and walked in the direction of the Hokage Tower.
Upon reaching the Hokage's office, he saw Fugaku leisurely reading a book.
With the council handling administrative duties, Fugaku was now much more relaxed.
"Akira, you're here," Fugaku said casually, glancing up at him.
"Yeah, I need to discuss something important with you," Akira said seriously.
"Is there trouble somewhere else that needs your assistance?" Fugaku asked, setting his book
aside.
First, Akira had rushed thousands of miles to the Land of Iron to save him, then had used the
Heavenly Transfer Technique to help Sunagakure.
And now there was something else?
"This time, it's Konoha that will be under attack," Akira said, looking straight at Fugaku.
