Chapter 209: Uchiha Akira's Dominance—War Compensation Multiplied Tenfold!



"Akira, don't you think your behavior just now was a bit too much? With just a few words, you've practically thrown Iwagakure into chaos!"

In the negotiation room, Ōnoki spoke again, clearly frustrated by Akira's earlier actions. This was the second time he voiced his displeasure. The first time had been a public

announcement, warning his people not to fall for Akira's words. But now, this complaint was personal.

"From Konoha's perspective, if Iwagakure falls into disorder, it's beneficial for us, isn't it? It's the same reason why you've tried to kill me twice. Isn't it just common sense?" Akira's voice was cold. "And from my personal perspective, after two assassination attempts from you, with my girlfriend still lying in a hospital bed back in Konoha, I wouldn't mind seeing Iwagakure burn."

Now that they were behind closed doors, Akira didn't hold back. His words were sharp, expressing his deep hatred for Ōnoki. After all, anyone who had been targeted the way Akira had would harbor resentment.

He wasn't Naruto, after all.

In the original story, when Pain unleashed his devastating Shinra Tensei on Konoha, even knocking Hinata to the brink of death and killing Jiraiya, Naruto still found it in himself to forgive Pain.

Later, during the Fourth Great Ninja War, facing Obito, the one who killed his parents, Naruto's attitude remained the same-"I forgive you."

But Uchiha Akira? He knew he'd never be able to do that.

He was just a regular person, with love, hate, and revenge all running through his veins. Wasn't that normal?

"Sigh..." Ōnoki let out a deep sigh after hearing Akira's words.

When he had decided to target Uchiha Akira years ago, he knew there would be consequences.

But now that both assassination attempts had failed, it was time for him to face the

consequences.

"Fine, I admit that I, this old man, was wrong. I offer you my sincerest apology." Finally, Ōnoki bowed deeply, a formal apology to Uchiha Akira.

"Hmph..." Sasuke, watching Ōnoki bow, could barely contain his anger. This old man had tried to kill Akira not once but twice! Now, seeing Ōnoki in this position felt like justice being served.

"Wow, Lord Akira is truly incredible. To force a Kage to apologize like this!" Karin's eyes were practically glowing with admiration. This was exactly the kind of power and dominance she idolized-true "boss energy."

On the other hand, Konan and Kakashi seemed relatively unfazed. Of course, Kakashi's face was hidden behind his mask, so it was hard to tell what he was feeling.

Ōnoki's apology—was it genuine? Only a fool would believe that.

This was politics, plain and simple.

If time could be reversed, Ōnoki would likely choose to target Akira again, given the same circumstances. The apology was nothing more than a calculated move, a way to placate Akira for now. Maybe Ōnoki thought that if he played the part of a remorseful old man, Akira's anger might lessen, and he could negotiate for lighter war reparations.

As for his pride as the Tsuchikage? In high-stakes politics, pride was a trivial matter. Only the weak and powerless cared about saving face.

"Akira, I truly believe the old man has realized his mistake!" Naruto chimed in, addressing Akira earnestly.

"You've got to be kidding me..." Akira and Kakashi both rolled their eyes simultaneously. Naruto's trusting nature was almost too much to bear sometimes. Akira had known from the original story that Naruto was a bit of a fool at times, but this was next-level gullibility. He reminded Akira of the First Hokage-a mix of ridiculous optimism and innocence.

Kakashi, meanwhile, couldn't help but shake his head internally.

during the attack. Do you really want to dishonor their memory by letting Iwagakure off the

hook?" Akira asked, his gaze sharp.

Naruto fell silent, unable to argue against that.

His heart bled for the innocent people who had suffered during the attack. Letting Iwagakure

off lightly would indeed feel like a betrayal to those who had died.

But Naruto's aversion to war only deepened as he thought about it.

"Idiot," Sasuke muttered from the side, rolling his eyes.

"Haha, who knew the Nine-Tails' Jinchuriki would be so naive?" Konan commented,

somewhat amused by Naruto's innocence.

"Naruto, you want to become Hokage, right? But tell me, how can you lead the village if the

people don't respect or trust you?"

"Being Hokage isn't just about sitting in an office. You need the love and support of the

people first," Akira said.

"And you think Iwagakure looks pitiful right now? Don't be fooled by appearances. The only

reason they're putting on this act is because they failed in their attack on us. Imagine what would've happened if we hadn't been able to defend Konoha. What then?"

Naruto's world was shaken by Akira's words. It was his first real lesson in the ugly truth of

politics.

Just then, there was a knock at the door.

"Excuse me, Lord Akira? My name is Zitu. May I have a moment of your time?" came a voice

from outside.

"It looks like someone took my words to heart and is ready to act on them," Akira thought to

himself with a grin.
