Chapter 183: Mangekyo, Activated! (Fifth Update)
Yes, the main reason for coming to Konoha this time was to assassinate Uchiha Akira!
They had even planned this far in advance, with the help of Iwagakure to gather intel on the Jonin exams and pick the right moment to strike!
Moreover, looking at Deidara and Sasori causing chaos outside, only to be stopped by Jiraiya and Tsunade, Pain decided it was time for a quick and decisive strike.
But wasn't this a little too quick?
With just one Shinra Tensei and a few black rods thrown, Uchiha Akira died while trying to save Uchiha Sasuke?
Sure, in the ninja world, many high-ranking ninjas had been unexpectedly killed by lower- ranking ones.
But for Uchiha Akira to be killed so easily, even Pain found it hard to believe!
"Akira, he, he actually..."
As the black rod pierced through Uchiha Akira's chest, countless people froze, staring at the screen in disbelief.
His chest had been pierced his heart was likely impaled too, right? Certain death!
The genius known as the greatest prodigy in the ninja world-Uchiha Akira-was killed just like that?
"Akira-kun, Akira-kun..." Hinata, with tears streaming down her face, ran over and held Uchiha Akira tightly, sobbing uncontrollably!
"This kid, he's just dead like that?" Hiashi Hyuga looked at his daughter crying over Uchiha Akira, his expression grim.
In his heart, he already saw Uchiha Akira as his future son-in-law!
"This can't be! How could this kid be killed so easily? Even if that guy is strong!" Fugaku was stunned, finding it hard to believe!
"My grandson, my grandson, he..." The old man, upon seeing this, felt his breath catch, and everything went black as he almost fainted!
At the same time, many others, including Keiko, Naruto Uzumaki, Jiraiya, Tsunade, Ino- Shika-Cho, and many others from Konoha, watched the screen in disbelief that Uchiha Akira had died, sacrificing himself to save Uchiha Sasuke.
The child who became famous in the ninja world at seven, who severed the Third Tsuchikage's leg-was he really dead at the age of fourteen?
The death of the Fourth Hokage was already considered a tragic loss at a young age.
But who would've thought Uchiha Akira's death would come even sooner, like a brilliant meteor streaking across the night sky?
"Sasuke, are you okay?" Uchiha Akira, his face pale, looked at Sasuke and asked.
"Why, why, Akira, why did you..." Sasuke felt like the entire world had lost its color.
"Do I need a reason? If it were you in danger, I'm sure you would've done the same to save me. Cough, cough..." Uchiha Akira said as if it were only natural, coughing up blood as he spoke.
Sasuke fell silent after hearing these words.
"Akira-kun..." Hinata held Uchiha Akira tightly.
"Hinata, I... I'm a little tired... I want to rest," Uchiha Akira said weakly to Hinata.
"No, Akira-kun, you can't rest, you can't!" Hearing Akira's words, Hinata quickly shook her head.
She knew full well that if Uchiha Akira really closed his eyes to rest, he would never wake up again!
Byakugan allowed Hinata to clearly see Uchiha Akira's condition: his heart had indeed been pierced by the black rod!
"Can I leave now?" Feeling somewhat confused by how smoothly the mission had gone, Pain muttered to himself.
Yes, the mission was to assassinate Uchiha Akira, not to destroy Konoha.
Now that Uchiha Akira was dead, there seemed to be no reason for him to stay any longer.
Sasuke was in shock, staring at Uchiha Akira, feeling as if the world had lost all its color.
might cause?
With that thought, Pain raised his hand, another black rod appearing as he quickly approached
Sasuke.
As the rod was about to strike, Sasuke tried to dodge, but his injuries made it difficult to
move!
Even at full strength, the gap in their powers was vast. In his current wounded state, there was
no way he could withstand it!
Clang!
Just then, a sharp sound rang out. Another black rod intercepted Pain's attack!
It was Uchiha Akira.
He had pulled out the black rod from his chest and used it to block Pain's attack!
"Akira?! But you..." Even Sasuke, who had just been saved, was wide-eyed in shock, staring at
Uchiha Akira.
His Mangekyō had already activated, but Akira wasn't dead?
Was this some kind of joke? Did I just unlock my Mangekyō for nothing?
"Akira-kun, you're okay!" Hinata didn't care about any of that. Seeing Uchiha Akira alive
again, she felt overwhelming joy at his return!
"I never said I was dead, did I? I just said I was tired and needed a little rest. Now I'm all
rested up!" Uchiha Akira smiled at Hinata as he spoke.
Sasuke, however, felt a bit annoyed.
After everything that had just happened, and after seeing that situation unfold, you said you
were just resting? No normal person would believe that!
Though Sasuke felt like he had been played, seeing that Uchiha Akira wasn't dead, he couldn't
help but feel relieved.
"Wow, I really am a good guy, huh? I haven't even unlocked my own Mangekyō yet, but I
helped someone else awaken theirs!" Uchiha Akira thought to himself, glancing at Sasuke
with a
Akira thought to himself as he glanced at Sasuke.
Then, turning his attention back to Pain, Akira took a deep breath.
A blue-green chakra, like flames, ignited around Akira's body-his Sage Mode had activated.
"The warm-up is over. Let's start the second round."
