Part Time Employee in Konoha (Completed)

This guy...

He really is kind-hearted!

Even at a time like this, he is still worried about disputes among the Five Kage!

However, everyone present could hear the mockery in Akihara Kagura's words. They even knew that this guy's appearance at the Five Kage Summit was just to flaunt his power!

"You...!"

Tsunade clenched her fist.

"Lightning Release: Lariat!"

The Fourth Raikage swiftly leaped up, his entire body crackling with arcs of electricity, and charged angrily at Akihara Kagura with his arm extended!

The speed of the Fourth Raikage was incredibly fast!

However, Akihara Kagura simply raised a finger, with blue lightning chakra flickering at his fingertip, and directly met the Fourth Raikage's chest!

"Hell Stab: One-Finger Assault!"

Hell Stab is the strongest secret technique of the Cloud Village!

The technique is classified into Four-Finger, Three-Finger, Two-Finger, and the strongest One-Finger. When performed with one finger, its offensive power is at its peak, and it is the most difficult to master!

Even the Fourth Raikage had never successfully mastered this technique!

The lightning chakra on Akihara Kagura's finger was as sharp as a ninja sword, instantly piercing through the Fourth Raikage's lightning chakra defense and his chest!

Blood splattered out!

The Fourth Raikage's body was flung backward and crashed to the ground!

The Raikage was defeated by Cloud Village's strongest secret technique!

Being defeated by his village's own technique felt especially humiliating for the Fourth Raikage. A technique that even the people of his village could not master had been grasped by the enemy!

"Lord Raikage!"

The two bodyguards of the Fourth Raikage quickly landed beside him, anxiously examining his wounds and the injury on his chest!

Tsunade hurriedly jumped to the Fourth Raikage's side, assessing his injuries. Her palm emitted a green chakra, healing the Raikage's wounds.

"Don't worry, it's nothing serious..."

"Of course, I was very precise."

Akihara Kagura glanced back at the healing Tsunade, tilted his head slightly, and chuckled: "If Lady Tsunade's medical ninjutsu can't save the Raikage, I would be more than willing to help heal my defeated opponent..."

"Cough... you..."

The Fourth Raikage, both angry and anxious, spat out blood!

"Calm down!"

Tsunade quickly reprimanded the Fourth Raikage in a low voice. She didn't want her patient to worsen his condition!

"He's agitated."

Akihara Kagura shrugged.

The two Raikage bodyguards angrily charged forward!

However, a figure suddenly flashed out, stopping them with an outstretched hand: "You are still young. Don't sacrifice your lives here; focus on caring for Lord Raikage."

Hanzō of the Salamander landed beside them, drew his sickle from his back, and watched Akihara Kagura warily: "I'll keep an eye on him..."

"He is humiliating the Cloud Village..."

One of the Raikage's bodyguards was still unwilling to back down!

Without turning his head, Hanzō of the Salamander sternly advised: "If you cannot endure this humiliation, how can you stop this war that could destroy the ninja world?"

"Lord Hanzō, there is no need to be overly tense..."

Tsunade quietly reminded Hanzō: "Akihara Kagura's presence here is not to kill; he's here to show off and demoralize us..."

"I understand that..."

Hanzō glanced around the conference room and lowered his voice: "All the Kage present have already been defeated, and no one else can match him..."

"Now, Lord Hokage, please lead everyone out and seal this room. I will engage him and release my poison sac, trying to ensure mutual destruction..."

"Lord Hanzō!"

Tsunade exclaimed in shock.

"I've considered it from the start..."

Hanzō raised his head, looking at Akihara Kagura sitting on the high platform, and said in a low voice: "I considered that he might come to disrupt the summit. The construction of this room took that into account. If sealed from the outside, it will be airtight, containing the salamander poison I release, ensuring mutual destruction..."

"This guy!"

The Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki looked at Hanzō in amazement.

As a contemporary, Ōnoki considered himself willing to sacrifice everything, including his life, for Iwagakure, but he could not be as ready to sacrifice as Hanzō of the Salamander!

"Such a lowly tactic…”

Akihara Kagura chuckled softly and pointed at Tsunade behind Hanzo of the Salamander: "Shouldn't you ask Tsunade behind you if she thinks this approach is reliable?"

"Lord Hanzo!"

A trace of respect appeared on Tsunade's face, but she had to follow Akihara Kagura's words and remind Hanzo of the Salamander: "Akihara Kagura is skilled in space-time techniques; this method won't stop him and will only result in your unnecessary sacrifice..."

"Even so..."

Hanzo's voice, muffled inside his gas mask, responded solemnly, "I am already an old man with not much time left. I can't just sit by and do nothing for you young ones..."

"......"

Sweat appeared on Tsunade's nose.

"This old man..."

Even Orochimaru had to grit his teeth, recalling the times he clashed with Hanzo: "He's always like this!"

"This is the magnanimity of the demigod ninja..."

Jiraiya sighed, deeply admiring Hanzo's demeanor.

Even though this old man knew his sacrifice would be in vain, he still wanted to use his life to pave the way for other ninjas...

Hanzo of the Salamander, revered as the demigod in the ninja world, always seemed to be like this.

When he was at his peak, he was an invincible ninja in the ninja world, yet he would spare those juniors who lost to him, believing they would become more outstanding in the future...

But when he grew old, he never hesitated to give his life, as if his aging body was nothing to cherish...

This man...

His entire life seemed to be ahead of others.

This man...

His entire life seemed to be a model of an excellent ninja.

Even the Kages of other villages had to admit that they couldn't match Hanzo's magnanimity when they saw he was ready to sacrifice himself...

In his youth, he was willing to teach the juniors who challenged him, and in his old age, he was even willing to sacrifice his life for the juniors who had grown up!

The only pity is...

Hanzo is a ninja of Rain Village.

But, even though he was the leader of a small village in a small country, he still earned everyone's respect at this moment.

"Letting such an excellent ninja sacrifice himself is a tremendous waste..."

Akihara Kagura shook his head and softly lamented: "Hanzo, even in your old age, a ninja as excellent as you should have a place in the new world I create..."

"I have lived long enough."

Hanzo rejected Akihara Kagura's goodwill.

"You deserve more time..."

Akihara Kagura chuckled softly, standing on a high platform overlooking everyone present: "Let’s end the small talk here! I've seen enough of this commotion..."

"I originally made it clear that I didn't want the memories of the old era to be in ruins, but after thinking it over, perhaps I should use more straightforward words to clearly tell you, and I hope you can accept your fate."

Akihara Kagura extended his hand and spoke softly: "Since the birth of this new world, more than a thousand years have passed, and wars have never ceased. Even the First Hokage, Hashirama, couldn't change the smoke of war hovering over the ninja world today. And I'm not just talking about you great nations..."

"Now then..."

"It's time to end all this."

"Kagura... what are you going to do?"

Jiraiya looked nervously at his student.

At this moment, Jiraiya couldn't discern what his student intended to do. His chakra quickly gathered, fearing that Akihara Kagura might suddenly change his mind and start a massacre here!

If Akihara Kagura killed everyone here...

Who knows how long it would take for the five great ninja nations to unite again!

"It's just a declaration of war..."

Akihara Kagura looked down at the crowd, speaking nonchalantly: "But I need you to help me deliver this declaration of war to the entire world..."

"At this moment..."

"I declare war on the entire ninja world."

"!!!"

Everyone's hearts skipped a beat.

Even though they knew Akihara Kagura had become the public enemy of the ninja world, hearing him so openly declare war on the entire world...

Still made them a bit terrified!

"Please help me inform the entire ninja world.”

Akihara Kagura tilted his head and scrutinized them before speaking slowly, "Whether you are ninjas from the five great nations or smaller countries, or even those still wandering outside, please ensure your participation in this war..."

"After all..."

"This will be the last war of the old world."

"This war is not a continuation of the old era's battles for interests but a moment for all ninjas to witness the beginning of a new world's creation by the sage..."

"I will cleanse this world of its pain and tragedy through this war, and the ninja world endlessly pursuing interests will also meet its end..."

"If nothing unexpected happens..."

"You ninjas of the old era probably still want to prove your existence and wouldn't want to become the lament of the old era's demise and the fodder for the new era's birth..."

"I will give you one last chance."

"If you can give up your meaningless disputes, gather all the ninjas of the world and wage war against me; if you can abandon the killings and battles for profit and strive with all your might to seize a glimpse of peace for this lingering era..."

"I will give you that chance."

Akihara Kagura raised his head, seemingly envisioning the outcome of this war, "I also hope to see everyone from the old era's memories choose a glorious death rather than hiding like sewer rats, only to be erased by random attacks without leaving a trace of their existence..."

"Do you think you are certain to win..."

A nervous Rock ninja responded with sweat on his forehead.

"Victory is naturally expected."

Akihara Kagura shook his head and spoke with disdain, "Even if countless ants gather, how could they possibly harm the feathers of an eagle in the sky?"

"Moreover..."

"If you can really do it..."

Akihara Kagura's eyes narrowed slightly, and his gaze became sharp, intimidating anyone from looking directly at him, "If you can completely give up the battles and killings for profit, sacrificing your lives not for trivial gains but for the dawn of peace in the ninja world, and if my plan is thwarted, and my body falls under your blades..."

"What I gain..."

"Will definitely not be a failure..."

"......"

Jiraiya's face suddenly changed!

At this moment...

This man suddenly remembered something!

When he traveled the ninja world with Akihara Kagura, they stayed in Sand Village for a while, and Akihara Kagura proactively suggested helping Gaara, the jinchuriki of One-Tail, train by using external force to compel Gaara to cooperate with the One-Tail within him...

At that time...

They discussed a possibility...

When all the ninjas of the world face a common threat, would the ninja world unite and eliminate their internal conflicts...

"......"

Jiraiya's mind suddenly went blank!

Could it be that his student...

Plans to do exactly that?

Does he intend to become the enemy that forces the entire ninja world to unite? Jiraiya looked at his student with a gaze filled with unresolved horror!

"No... no way..."

"If we win... he still doesn’t lose... if we lose..."

Jiraiya calmly thought for a second, and his gaze dimmed instantly because even if they win the war, Akihara Kagura could verify one of his experimental ideas...

However, if they lose the war, Akihara Kagura gains the power to destroy and recreate the world, and he might really destroy the world and create anew, achieving another of his goals!

No one dared to gamble on this!

Even Jiraiya, no matter how brave, didn't dare!

Even Tsunade, a gambler who fears no losses, wouldn’t dare to gamble on this!

"That's all."

Akihara Kagura finished expressing everything he wanted to say, and his body gradually merged into the shadow beneath him, his voice turning cold and merciless once more.

"Now..."

"Go tell everyone in this world..."

"It doesn't matter if this is the Fourth or Fifth Ninja War, for this era, this Ninja War will be the last..."

Akihara Kagura's body completely sank into the shadow, and his voice coldly echoed within the pentagonal meeting room, reverberating constantly in the enclosed space!

"Go tell them..."

"The last Ninja War... starts now!”
