Chapter 67: There's Nothing a Punch Can't Solve
P.S.: Since you've tried to get me to the top of the power rankings, I'll release ten chapters over the next ten hours, one chapter every hour.
A single Morning Peacock, with its wide-reaching power, had left the Root ninjas injured to varying degrees.
Uchiha Akira's gaze fell on Danzo, his blood-red Sharingan filled with a murderous gleam.
He was clearly ready to kill.
As Uchiha Akira's three-tomoe Sharingan focused on him, Danzo felt a shiver run down his spine-a powerful urge to turn and run gripped him.
However, Danzo didn't flee. As the second most powerful figure in Konoha, fleeing from a fight within the village would be a disgrace.
"Summoning Jutsu!" Danzo acted quickly, summoning his beast, the Baku, to face Uchiha Akira, who was in his Seventh Gate state.
A smirk curled at Uchiha Akira's lips as he saw Danzo's move.
Sure, Danzo was once a subordinate of the Second Hokage and had reached Kage level, but after years of focusing on growing the Root and engaging in shady activities, his training had suffered. He was no more than a gatekeeper-level Kage at best.
Compared to any of the Sannin, Danzo probably wouldn't stand a chance.
Even with the Baku summoned, it was just one more punch away from defeat for Uchiha Akira.
The Baku opened its massive jaws, unleashing a terrifying suction force like a black hole, pulling everything in its vicinity toward it.
One punch!
With a single punch, Uchiha Akira sent a powerful shockwave toward the Baku.
The massive beast was blasted away, sent flying nearly a hundred meters before it crashed to the ground. It struggled to rise but was unable to stand.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Taking advantage of the Baku's attack, Danzo had already prepared his own assault-a series of wind-enhanced shuriken that resembled a miniaturized Rasenshuriken, spinning toward Uchiha Akira.
With the Sharingan's keen vision, Uchiha Akira easily tracked the trajectory of these shuriken. He raised his hand and unleashed two more punches.
The sheer force of the punches, enhanced by the swirling winds, shattered the wind-enhanced shuriken mid-air.
"This feeling... it's exhilarating!" Uchiha Akira thought, feeling a rush of satisfaction.
In the original Naruto series, battle strategies and jutsu combinations were crucial, but by the Fourth Great Ninja War, especially with Madara's arrival, combat became a pure contest of power-battle strategies became irrelevant.
It seems that when strength reaches a certain level, all those intricate tactics become meaningless!
Just like now, with the Seventh Gate open, there's nothing a punch can't solve.
And if one punch isn't enough, another will do the trick!
At this level of power, even forming hand seals for jutsu feels like a waste of time!
As Danzo watched Uchiha Akira, who was surrounded by blue steam, easily shatter his wind- based attack with a simple punch, he realized that Uchiha Akira's strength had far surpassed his own.
"Lord Danzo!"
The Root ninjas, who had been knocked down by the Morning Peacock, watched in
desperation as Uchiha Akira slowly advanced toward Danzo.
They hadn't expected Uchiha Akira to be this powerful already.
Even though this strength came from the Eight Gates Formation, temporarily enhancing his power, it was still terrifying!
A young man with orange hair extended his hands toward Uchiha Akira, channeling all his chakra.
Secret Technique: Mind Transfer Jutsu!
In an instant, Uchiha Akira felt a powerful mental force trying to invade his mind, attempting to take control of his body.
But for Uchiha Akira, this mental assault was hardly a threat.
In less than a second-perhaps not even half a second-the mental force of the Mind Transfer Jutsu was rebounded by Uchiha Akira's own mental power.
Chakra is the combination of physical and mental energy, and with the Seventh Gate open, Uchiha Akira's chakra surged, naturally boosting his mental strength as well.
Whoosh!
Although the Mind Transfer Jutsu's effect lasted only an instant, it was enough time for another masked ninja to close in on Uchiha Akira.
But Uchiha Akira delivered another punch, sending this ninja flying as well.
Once again, it was one punch, one down.
Before Uchiha Akira, these elite ninjas posed no threat at all.
