Chapter 61

In the middle of the night, a weak glow of the moon reflected a black masked face with two mangekyu Sharingans. Wearing all black and concealing herself from sight, Akira marched toward the gate of Konoha.

She knew that even if the strongest shinobi were out of the village, it was still a threat not to take easy.

Akira no longer underestimated the darkness of Konoha after extracting all kinds of information from the root ninjas.

She activated her pure world sight and even entered the sage mode, giving her eyes a darker taint.

Soon, she reached the gate, a small Genjutsu to make the guards see her as one of them, and her passage was free.

The sensory barrier may help the village know whether they are any intruders, but that was only for forced intrusion.

Akira's goal was an old camerade of her, one of which studied with her in class. Akira was amused when she remembered her red tomato face.

Yet it was only later on that she figured out her identity. She was from the Uzumaki who escaped to Konoha with the knowledge of seal arts and is currently the host of the nine tail fox.

Akira's plan was easy, send a shadow clone to Kushina location to free the nine tails, hide close to the place where the forbidden scroll and the results of all kinds of forbidden research made by the second hokage is stored, wait till the chaos to still everything then run away while making sure a lot of villagers see the mangikyou Sharingan.

As for the casualties and death that will follow, Akira doesn't have a hint of care, why because she simply doesn't.

Akira had long made the oath to only benefit herself. Even if she put a mask and helped the others, it would be for a greater benefit.

Not to dwell over things, Akira quickly followed her plan, having only ten minutes of time for both her pure world sight and sage mode.

Akira was thankful for the amount of time she passed to constantly retrieve information from the implanted crows, enabling her to fully map Konoha and understand the patrol route.

But plans don't always work as intended.

When Akira activated her pure world sight and ran toward her goal while separating a shadow clone, she found several hidden explosion tags inserted in critical locations.

Feeling that things don't seem to be easy, she separated a shadow clone to investigate while she kept the original plan.

Meanwhile, Akira shadow clone found the hidden house of Kushina, a team of Anbu and a team of root standing guard.

With a quick and silent movement, she put all of them in an illusion, having them believe that the house is still normal while also using the ability of her eye to read his memories.

Next is how to get in, having eight minutes of time before running out of steam, Akira decided that a normal approach would be easier for her to get in.

Akira simply knocked on the door. Based on her insight, everything was rigged and trapped with different seals, so she opted for a normal approach. It has a benefit that Kushina was aquinted with several civilians.

Kushina didn't take long to open the door, wondering who might visit her at this hour.

Although it was the middle of the night, the village was still bustling with activities, and the only reason Akira was able to rush without alarming anyone was because of her sensing capabilities.

Normally, a shinobi will maintain a high degree of vigilance toward everything, but unfortunately, Kushina doesn't, and no one can blame her.

As of now, she is in her home, in the village, with a group of Anbu stationed around her house keeping vigilance, so her expression of pure disbelief as she stared at the red eyes that looked like a Sharingan, the only visible things in front of her, and was put in a strong Genjutsu.

Akira knew that her time was running out, so she applied her eyes's ability to see her whole life before penetrating Kushina's mindscape.

In the depths of Kushina's mindscape, Akira encountered a vast underground cavern, shrouded in darkness and filled with an eerie aura. At the center of this vast space stood a colossal statue of a fearsome nine-tailed fox, with imposing chains wrapped tightly around its body.

The Nine-Tails was a massive, majestic creature with bright crimson fur and piercing, menacing eyes. Despite being sealed within Kushina, its enormous presence exuded power that sent shivers down Akira's spine.

The chains that bound the Nine-Tails were thick and sturdy, covered in intricate seals and symbols meant to keep the beast's immense chakra in check. These seals were carefully crafted using Uzumaki's ancient sealing techniques, making them difficult to break or tamper with.

As Akira approached the imposing figure, she could sense the immense chakra emanating from the Nine-Tails. It was a mix of raw power, rage, and malevolence, as if centuries of anger and pain had been bottled up within this formidable creature.

The Nine-Tails' crimson eyes glared fiercely at Akira. Despite the Genjutsu she had cast on Kushina, its consciousness remained aware, alert, and ready to defend itself The beast's mighty roars echoed within the mindscape, rattling the imaginary surroundings and causing an unsettling tremor.

Akira's encounter with the Nine-Tails in its mindscape was like facing a force of nature itself, a primal and untamed entity that could bring both destruction and salvation. She could sense the Nine-Tails' inner turmoil, the desire to be free and unleash its wrath upon the world.

With her pure world sight and sage mode activated, Akira focused her attention on the intricate seals binding the Nine-Tails. She knew that freeing the beast would cause chaos and destruction in Konoha, but her desire to fulfill her plan outweighed any concern for the consequences.
