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!"
"There is urgent information that must be reported about the village!"
"Kitsuchi!"
The Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, looked at the visitor in surprise: "Did I not assign you to stay in the village? How did you come here?"
"…"
Kitsuchi gritted his teeth.
The Five Kage Summit was forced to be temporarily halted for a few minutes.
Even though the Third Tsuchikage Onoki did not want to lose face in front of these juniors, the safety of the Rock Village was ultimately the most important thing, so he let his son come over to report the issue.
However…
When Kitsuchi whispered a few words in Onoki's ear, Onoki's face changed dramatically, even showing some signs of panic.
"Lord Tsuchikage, what has happened?"
The people present could not just stand by and watch, so they took the initiative to inquire.
"…"
Onoki gritted his teeth. He knew some things could not be concealed and could only tell the truth at this moment: "The Rock Village has been taken by Akihara Kagura! All the secret techniques in the village have been completely looted by Akihara Kagura!"
"!!!"
Everyone present was shocked!
They never imagined that Akihara Kagura would take advantage of the time during the Five Kage Summit to attack the Rock Village and plunder its secret techniques!
"That guy…"
Onoki's arm was trembling, and he said through gritted teeth: "That guy... it wasn't just him; he had a large army with him…"
"!!!"
Everyone in the meeting hall widened their eyes.
One day ago.
After Onoki left the Rock Village.
The entire Rock Village was surrounded by enemies. The village, once known for its large number of ninjas, was surrounded by countless enemies, an almost inconceivable event!
Even more astonishing was that these enemies appeared to be white monsters!
They were not the most terrifying part…
The most terrifying part was the sudden appearance of Wood Release!
This village, standing amidst the fortress cluster, quickly fell.
Giant trees grew within the Rock Village, with groups of Rock Ninjas already bound to the trees, their chakra drained completely, rendering them powerless. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
Despite having the largest number of ninjas in the ninja world, the village was no match for Akihara Kagura, especially with the absence of their strongest ninja, the Third Tsuchikage Onoki.
"Shall we kill them?"
White Zetsu Awei commanded the dense crowd of White Zetsu surrounding the Rock Village.
"No need for that."
Akihara Kagura shook his head and said proactively: "Their chakra is more important than their lives. Move all the secret techniques of the Rock Village."
"Moreover, our purpose here is to let the ninja world know that we have a large army, not just a few individuals…"
"Only this way…"
"Will they choose to gather all the ninjas."
Of course.
There were other purposes as well.
Akihara Kagura wanted to absorb another wave of chakra before the war, to ensure the Ten-Tails shell inside him could revive in time, while also taking the opportunity to master all the jutsus of the Five Great Nations. He had already learned the techniques of Konoha, the Cloud Village, the Mist Village, and the Sand Village.
Now, only the Earth Release of the Rock Village remains.
"Let's retreat."
Akihara Kagura called out to Awei.
"Alright."
With White Zetsu Awei making a retreat gesture, tens of thousands of White Zetsu sank into the ground, quickly disappearing without a trace.
"Now you can go and report."
Akihara Kagura raised his hand, controlling Kitsuchi, the ninja left behind in Rock Village, to slowly descend from the vines. He shouted loudly, "Knowledge from the old era can help ninjas of the new era progress faster. I only lack the secret techniques from Rock Village..."
"I'm very pleased."
Akihara Kagura's body slowly floated down to the ground, and he even bent down to politely thank Kitsuchi, "Thank you very much for Rock Village's contribution to the new world."
"You..."
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…"
