Chapter 69: The Death of the Emissary

Under the farewell of Akatsuki members, the one-eyed jonin emissary from Amegakure left the Akatsuki base.

After walking a few kilometers along the road and confirming that no Akatsuki ninja were following him, the smile on the one-eyed jonin's face gradually disappeared, replaced by worries about Amegakure's future.

As Hanzo's emissary, he had fulfilled his duty well.

Not only had he delivered Hanzo's personal letter to Akatsuki, ...

Chapter 68: Danzo is a Good Person

In front of Akane, Byakuya displayed complete disdain for Hanzo the Salamander and Amegakure.

After arriving at the Akatsuki office, Byakuya immediately put on a concerned expression, looking gravely at Yahiko, Konan, and Nagato.

“Leader Yahiko, Konan-senpai and Nagato-senpai, has Hanzo’s envoy left?”

Hearing Byakuya call him ‘leader’ first time in a while, Yahiko felt something was off but nodded nonetheless.

“He ju...

Chapter 67: Byakuya's Panel Power

After finding a deserted area, Byakuya set up a barrier to block any detection.

Once he confirmed that there were no White Zetsu around, he began to practice the system rewards he had just received.

Imitating Yahiko's chakra fluctuations, Byakuya performed the Disguise Technique. Byakuya gradually transformed into Yahiko, not only mimicking his height and appearance but also perfectly matching his chakra fluctuations.

Byakuya suspected...

To say he worries about the world before others and enjoys the world after others might be an exaggeration. However, for Tony, knowing the risks of the future meant he couldn't just ignore them.

"If there's any sufficiently dangerous information, remember to alert me," Tony instructed.

"Yes, sir," Jarvis responded.

Meanwhile, in Marcus's penthouse in New York, he was unaware that his diary had already stirred immense excitem...

"But this Marcus boy used the word 'descend.' Could it really be a god descending? If that's the case, we're in big trouble. It would mean that those legendary gods might actually exist." Agent Hill pointed out the issue with the wording.

But if that's truly the case, it means that the gods from those mythologies might really exist. Just think about those gods in myths who can shatter the lands or summon lightning from the skies. They...

Chapter 66: Turning the Tables

The more Black Zetsu thought about it, the more he realized that Byakuya's plan was more feasible.

For a long time, he had relied on the conflict between Indra and Asura, using it to manipulate Indra's reincarnations to execute the Moon’s Eye Plan.

However, for various reasons, his attempts to manipulate Indra's reincarnations have always failed.

Indra's reincarnations would either be defeated by Asura's reincarnations allied with their...

Hearing that Danzo and Ryoma Aburame wanted him to assassinate Hanzo’s envoy, Byakuya felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He staggered back two steps before he managed to regain his composure.

Byakuya couldn’t believe it. The Konoha elder he trusted so much would actually use him.

Or rather, he was prepared to be used, but he didn’t expect Danzo to be so impatient. Asking him to assassinate Hanzo’s envoy was no different from s...

"Earth-616 universe? Does this mean there are other universes ranging from Universe 1 to Universe 616, or even more universes?" Tony spoke up.

"Yes, sir. Logically deducing, that's how it seems," JARVIS replied. "As you mentioned earlier, the universe he originally belonged to might be a higher-dimensional universe, and there's a possibility they possess some ability to observe other universes."

"So, does this thoroughly confirm ...

Chapter 64: Seeing Through Danzo's True Face

"Who is Danzo Shimura?"

Byakuya muttered the name, his eyes filled with more confusion.

For most ninjas in the Shinobi world, the name Danzo Shimura didn't hold much weight. Even Konoha's own lower-ranked ninjas hadn't heard much about Danzo.

The name Danzo Shimura truly resonated throughout the Shinobi world during his candidacy for the Sixth Hokage.

Black Zetsu seemed to have also realized this, his expression slight...

To get close to Byakuya, Black Zetsu considered many methods.

For example, deliberately creating a dangerous situation and then rescuing Byakuya himself, thereby shaping an authoritative image in front of Byakuya...

However, after careful consideration, Black Zetsu abandoned these ideas.

He simply didn't have the ability to put Byakuya in jeopardy, and the ninja who could endanger Byakuya were beyond his capability to deal w...

Tony had no idea that Pepper was cursing him behind his back, calling him ‘an unreasonable boss’. In fact, she didn’t hold back in front of him either, but he didn’t care or, perhaps, pretended not to hear her.

That's the straightforward thinking of a businessman.

Most importantly, this company would now be under his control. Obadiah would no longer have...

Compared to when he first proclaimed, "I am Iron Man," in a spirited manner, his later proclamation of "I am Iron Man" was resolute beyond measure.

After leaving the conference room, Byakuya felt like he had forgotten something.

Turning back to look at the conference room, he shot a fierce glare and slammed the door behind him.

Upon hearing the clang of the closing door, Byakuya nodded quietly to himself, feeling much relieved. In his role within the Akatsuki, him being opposed to Yahiko while also being too gentle could arouse suspicion.

Upon hearing the sound of Byakuya...

At the same time, another person received a letter—Hanzō of the Salamander from Amegakure.

Two months ago, after hearing about a group called the Akatsuki emerging within the Land of Rain, Hanzō finally started paying attention to domestic affairs.

To gather information on the Akatsuki, he even sent spies to join the organization, aiming to obtain first-hand intelligence.

Upon opening the letter from his subordinates, Hanzō ...

Byakuya kept his word and did not spy on the information these individuals had written.

He allowed them to summon their familiars and used reverse summoning techniques to send the information back to their respective ninja villages.

However, few spies dared to send information about the Akatsuki. Most kept a close watch on Byakuya, not daring to make a move.

Seeing this, Byakuya temporarily left the training ground, giving them time t...

"Why hasn't Jiraiya-sensei replied yet? Could something have happened?"

A few days later, in the Akatsuki office, Yahiko, who hadn't received a reply, began to wonder.

However, Yahiko quickly dismissed this bold thought.

Jiraiya-sensei was one of the Three Legendary Sannin of Konoha. His performance in the war was on par with the Five Kage, making him one of the top ninjas in the world. Even if Akatsuki were to be destroyed, Jiraiya...

For a moment, he genuinely considered grooming Obito to become the Hokage. However, based on his years of observing Konoha, he knew that even with his meticulous training, the chances of Obito becoming Hokage were slim.

Beyond the Uchiha clan being marginalized by the Senju lineage, the overwhelming strength of the Senju clan was also a factor.

Seeing the scene of Madara Uchiha instructing Obito, Black Zetsu felt exasperated.

Ryoma Aburame had always clung to the adage: in life-or-death situations, sheer desperation unlocks potential, allowing us to achieve feats far beyond our perceived limits.

It used to be an unshakeable truth for him, but now, facing the impossible task of staging a coup, he had his doubts.

He wracked his brain, desperately searching for a solution. Finally, with a heavy sigh, he took a gamble, approaching Lord Danzo with a hesitant.
