Chapter 283: Chapter 283: Spoiling Konan About Her and Nagato’s Fate
Fugaku was genuinely curious. He had initially underestimated Hinata's Tenseigan evolution, as she hadn't demonstrated any particularly overwhelming combat power. But now, it seemed he had truly underestimated the strength of the Tenseigan.
The reason Hinata hadn't seemed so strong was simply that she didn't have enough chakra to fully activate the Tenseigan's abilities.
"The blue Tenseigan has many abilities," Akira began explaining.
"First, it can control invisible forces of gravity and repulsion."
"Second, it can create Truth-Seeking Orbs, which are immensely powerful. These orbs are a fusion of all five nature transformations and Yin-Yang Release. Ordinary people can't even touch them."
"Third, by using these Truth-Seeking Orbs, one can unleash the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion, a force strong enough to cut through the entire moon."
Akira described the powers of the blue Tenseigan, leaving Fugaku utterly stunned.
Although Fugaku didn't fully understand what these Truth-Seeking Orbs were, the mere mention that the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion could slice the moon left him deeply shaken.
"So, the Tenseigan is truly powerful enough to rival the Rinnegan... I've really underestimated it," Fugaku admitted, his tone filled with awe.
"If such a formidable enemy is coming to kidnap Hinata, then yes, you should stay behind," Fugaku conceded.
Given how far the discussion had come, Fugaku realized that the impending threat of Ōtsutsuki Toneri was indeed not something he could handle on his own. As a result, he no longer objected to Akira's decision to stay in Konoha.
However, as a wielder of the Mangekyō Sharingan and the Hokage of Konoha, Fugaku couldn't help but feel increasingly powerless.
First, the Akatsuki wielded the Rinnegan. Then there was Ōtsutsuki Urashiki. Now, Ōtsutsuki Toneri had appeared-one formidable opponent after another. It was becoming overwhelming.
In the past, a Kage-level fighter was considered the pinnacle of strength in the ninja world.
But now, Fugaku had faced enemies so powerful that even being a Kage-level shinobi didn't seem enough.
"By the way, Hokage-sama, there's one more important thing," Akira suddenly said as the discussion about the ambush team was nearing completion.
"What is it?" Fugaku asked seriously, looking at Akira.
The fact that Akira was now addressing him formally as Hokage meant that what he was about to say was something significant-something that wasn't just about the Uchiha clan but concerned Konoha as a whole.
"With war approaching, shouldn't Konoha start preparing its battle supplies? Like stockpiling explosive tags, for example?" Akira asked with a smile on his face, the look of a salesman pitching to a customer.
Hearing this, Fugaku's expression darkened. He had expected something serious, only to find out that Akira was once again aiming to make money.
"Hokage-sama, you know, explosive tags are incredibly efficient. Each one can save the chakra required for a B-rank jutsu when used properly."
"Just recently, during Urashiki's and the Akatsuki's attack on Konoha, along with the ten thousand White Zetsu, our stockpile of explosive tags played a significant role in our defense, right?"
Though Fugaku had only ordered twenty thousand tags, Akira thought it best to make a larger deal with Konan. He didn't want to come to her every time he needed more supplies.
"Oh? Information worth one hundred thousand explosive tags? What kind of information?" Konan asked, intrigued.
Previously, the information Akira had traded for tags had ranged from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands. But now, he was asking for one hundred thousand tags in exchange. This had to be valuable information.
"It's about your and Nagato's fate. What do you think? Worth a hundred thousand tags?"
Akira asked with a grin.
Upon hearing this, Konan's expression shifted.
Her and Nagato's fate? Did that mean neither she nor Nagato would live long lives?
Without waiting for Konan's response, Akira's Sharingan activated, and its three tomoe began
spinning as he cast a genjutsu on her.
Caught off guard, Konan found herself immersed in Akira's genjutsu.
In this illusion, Konan saw herself and Akira standing inside a dimly lit cave.
In the cave, there were two more figures-herself and Nagato. Nagato was still connected to
his black chakra rods, while her other self stood by his side.
Clearly, this was showing the future for herself and Nagato.
If someone else had shown her this, Konan wouldn't have believed it.
But because it was Akira, someone with the power to predict the future, Konan couldn't help
but believe that this might truly be the fate awaiting her and Nagato.
What would happen in the end? How would their story conclude?
Just as these thoughts raced through Konan's mind, the sealed entrance of the dark cave was
torn open, and a figure with blonde hair walked inside.
This figure had orange eyeshadow and eyes that resembled those of a frog-it was none other than Uzumaki Naruto, in Sage Mode.
