Chapter 230: Demonstration of Power
🕑 Added 2022-01-05 03:55:14 +0000 UTCWhile the council was amazedly digesting the shocking information about tsutsuki, Naruto calmly walked to his place, exchanged glances with the flirty Shizune and sat down, restraining the urge to throw his feet on the table.
- It's almost time. I got a little pissed off, but I think now you understand the reason. The bastard sat under our noses and constantly leaked information.
Everyone continued to listen in silence ...
Naruto looked around the room with a calm gaze and squinted derisively.
- In the residence, the barrier is still only in my office, and this one does not need to be protected, as I understand it? - he snorted: - What century are we in? How long has the barrier around the village been changing? I can understand why there are those who think that shinobi are obsolete. After all, none of us develops! Hmm, that foolish Katasuke's Ninja Science Weapon is most likely our enemies too. It is worth emphasizing that they also have modified humans whose strength surpasses most of those present. Have they trained and gone through hundreds of battles like us? Nothing like this! Now think, what are our chances?
The Hokage glanced over the faces of those present and said gravely:
- We have big problems. The enemy is strong, and you stayed at the previous level, right? Well ... - he waved his hand and leaned back in his chair:
- Ask your questions. I have already touched upon one of the most important topics of the meeting, if not the most important one. You probably have something to ask.
Katasuke became an excuse, Ao's personality was just an excuse. Naruto skillfully manipulated opportunities, people, and information to his advantage. It all started with a simple reprimand, oppression of subordinates and even behavior unusual for him, but he covered all this with a simple and effective word - tsutsuki. With this, he solved several problems at once, the reason for his actions and changes in personality, bitterness, as well as, most importantly, the upcoming changes in politics and ideology in the village.
The deed is done, the Hokage was only waiting for the revealed weaknesses, which would not be so difficult to find out from simple questions from subordinates. Once they start asking and raising the subject of tsutsuki's danger, they will personally allow him to control them, and he will be able to pressure their fears and concerns. The more this topic resonates, the easier it will be to get people to play by its rules. The desire to rely on someone, to shift responsibility, this is what everything will eventually come to. People's faith and hopes will be another weapon of influence in the upcoming game.
And, as expected, Kakashi was the first to accept all the information received with a cool head. Even he could not ignore the most important question, without which there was no point in the continuation:
- tsutsuki? Naruto, explain in more detail!
Each of those present with bated breath waited for an answer. All the heads of clans, friends and relatives of Naruto, even Shizune and a couple of his mistresses could not ignore such news. The tsutsuki clan name alone made people tremble with fear, especially those who remembered the last war. Kakashi and Sakura, having personally witnessed Kaguya's power, were the most wary. The kunoichi had already cured Katasuke and returned to Tsunade.
And at that moment, the Hokage finally ceased to be silent. His sly grin preceded his shocking reply:
“I have mastered a truly terrible power. You have already managed to see my new method of setting barriers and I can assure you that it completely changes all the laws of Ninjutsu you know. I can change the gravity in this area, if I just wave my finger ... - and to prove his words, Naruto drew a couple of fuin symbols in the air and gestured them directly to the ceiling of the barrier. The three golden signs immediately disappeared into the transparent wall, and then golden streaks ran along all sides of the barrier. A second later, an invisible pressure immediately descended on the area ...
"Th-this ..." Shikamaru looked up at the ceiling in shock. The reaction of the others was different, someone started moving their hands in surprise or resorted to chakra circulation, while someone just stood up and realized the shocking changes.
`` W-what's going on ...
- Something presses on me, amazing!
All as one felt one thing - the gravity has changed! It became harder for them to move. The pressure turned out to be too weak, it did not particularly interfere with the Jonin, but if an ordinary person, or someone unable to control the chakra, found themselves in such a space, his situation could become dangerous.
Katasuke has begun to press down to the ground! Naruto immediately grunted and ran his finger through the air. As if obeying his will, gravity immediately returned to its former value.
However, the Hokage did not stop there - he wanted to make a sufficient show of strength. The Seventh Hokage must inspire respect! Strength is one of the most important methods of influencing the psyche of people.
Folding a couple of seals, Naruto grinned and said clearly.
- Wood Release: Wood Clone! - at the same moment, literally from the body of the Hokage, his dark copy separated, followed by transforming into an ideal double.
- Mokuton! Tsunade let out a startled breath, "Where ... How could you, Naruto ?!"
- The Hokage has its own secrets, - with a slight grin, he calmly dispelled the clone and added: - I gained the powers of all the elements and wood, including.
The next row of seals turned into an icy stream, instantly enveloping the entire wood table. It even started to snow in the hall, and the temperature instantly dropped below zero.
Ice Release!
At that time, everything was going well, according to a verified scenario, but just then, a familiar threatening tone sounded in Naruto's head:
- Hey, what are you doing ?! Are you going to show these fools your entire arsenal?
- Don't be ridiculous, - the Hokage's answer contained a playful mockery: - You are all my arsenal!
- Pha! Do not make me laugh! - Kurama was amused: - Mokuton is no longer a joke, it was not necessary for them ...
"No," Naruto interrupted, "It's all for this." Any manifestation of the power of the First is for them as a sign, I already respect it, and this will bring even more benefit. As you and I chat, they slowly realize who their only hope is. This whole show is just to get them to focus on my goal. If this is not done, they will start to get in the way. I must show that I am not only strong, but ready to use this power even against them.
- This is true? The fox frowned. "Are you ready?"
"Anytime," Naruto nodded curtly. "It's necessary now." A new era needs a push, a kind of enemy to fall prey to, as well as a skillful and cold-blooded leader who can lead his people into battle. Of course, tsutsuki will only work against these old people, against other groups of people I will use something else. Each has its own enemy and need. Should we turn a disease into a disaster, or ... It doesn't matter, though. First, I’ll go into the manual. Just look further ...
Respect and reverence were what he wanted. He already possessed this, now, you need to raise these qualities to a new level. Demonstrating strength is just the first step. The death of Momoshiki, that's what he really expected!
