The golden samurai slowly drew out the Demon Sword Muramasa. The moment Muramasa was pulled out, its body burned with a seven-colored flame as if it contained a myriad of things. Naraku’s pupils shrank seeing this, “What’s this?”
The golden samurai raised Muramasa and immediately swung it down, severing the countless arms of rock Kannon. The arms disintegrated into soil and fell to the ground, creating a cloud of dust.
Naraku felt that a portion of senjutsu chakra within his body had been cut off and fear finally appeared on his face. “What the hell is this?”
Tonan made the golden samurai walk leisurely towards Naraku and indifferently said, “You know nothing about power.” Naraku was sweating profusely by now as he felt he was at the end of his rope.
He put his palm together and shouted, “Senjutsu – Clay Figure Technique.”
A rock grew from under and the originally flat ground rose by dozens of meters and turned into a giant that stood between Naraku and Tonan. Tonan shook his head slightly. Then, the golden samurai held the Demon Sword with both hands and disappeared. When it reappeared, it was already behind the rock Kannon.
At this moment, the world seemed to lose its sound. Rumble… Both the clay figure and the rock Kannon were cut off in the middle. The clay figure exploded into pieces and rubbles flew everywhere, the dust blurring people’s vision.
The lower part of the rock Kannon also broke into huge pieces. Naraku knelt on the top of the remaining part of the rock Kannon with a very ugly expression. At that time, the golden samurai dissipated and revealed Tonan’s back. He slowly turned around and said, “Victory or defeat was already decided.”
In the next moment, his scarlet Mangekyo Sharingan spun rapidly. Naraku felt red light shooting out from Tonan’s eyes and his entire world seemed to turn blood red. The surrounding environment had also become abnormal. The light cast in the sky was like scarlet blood.
The trees and plants not far away were also dyed in blood. The vibrant environment had become horrifying. The entire world seemed to be nearing its end. At this time, Tonan faintly said, “Your so-called willpower is simply a joke in front of these eyes.”
Tonan had used the Mangekyo level Hell Viewing Technique on Naraku. “Ah!” Naraku shouted and soon afterward, the rock Kannon disintegrated. He fell to the ground, trembling and sweating profusely.
“Your Majesty…” At this moment, the people who were watching the battle from the sidelines didn’t even have the strength to get up because they had transferred their chakra to Naraku. All of them knelt on the ground, panting.
Tonan slowly walked toward Naraku and tested the secret technique he had just memorized from Hashirama’s scroll. The ground protruded and a throne made up of condensed rocks emerged from the soil. Although it seemed a little rough because this was the first time he used this technique, the general form was still complete. “It’s really convenient,” Tonan nodded with satisfaction.
He sat on the throne and quietly looked down on Naraku in front of him. The Hell Viewing Technique was an attack-type genjutsu and its effect was instantaneous. At this moment, Naraku had suffered the attack. His face was pale and his eyes were bloodshot. He raised his head to look at Tonan.
A hint of surprise flashed through Tonan’s eyes, and he said with admiration, “I take back what I just said, your willpower is truly good. After suffering my genjutsu, you didn’t go mad or faint.”
Tonan thought that Naraku would curse. But beyond his expectation, after a few breaths, Naraku said with deep worship on his face, “Sensei… Sensei, you’re too powerful, I, your student, am convinced now.”
This response surprised Tonan. Naraku shamelessly knelt in front of him and with tears and snots all over his face, said, “Sensei, do you know that ever since you left, I’ve been thinking about you day and night? Every day I dreamed of the days when you earnestly taught me.”
“I’m innately dull and ignorant. Encountering a big incident, I was extremely impulsive. Without you by my side to guide me, I stupidly made a gross error. I killed countless people and I regret it now. Sensei, thank you for waking me up today and letting me understand that there are people more talented than oneself in the wide world.”
Tonan felt a chill run down his spine. He was not sure whether Naraku was begging for mercy or had gone insane after suffering his genjutsu. “What nonsense are you talking about? Weren’t you trying to kill me just a moment ago? Since you’ve lost, are you admitting your mistakes?”
Naraku said with a firm face, “No, I swear! I swear! I never wanted to kill you.”
Tonan scanned Naraku seriously and nodded his head.“Alright, then swear it.” Naraku was stunned. He slowly raised his palm and his eyes became even redder as he said with difficulty, “As a Daimyo, I swear that if I’ve any thoughts of killing sensei, the entire Land of Fire will suffer complete destruction and become barren.”
Tonan smiled. He reached out his palm and slapped Naraku’s face hard, “Hahaha… You’re truly smart.”
Naraku’s face was red and swollen from the slap but there was no anger on it. Instead, he put on an ingratiating smile and said, “Sensei, you must have a lofty ambition. Isn’t it better for me to serve you for life? It’s fine even if you want me to abdicate, I’m willing to give up the Daimyo position to you.”
“Do you think that’s possible?” Tonan’s eyes turned cold. Naraku seemed to sense the danger and carefully replied, “It is a bit inappropriate and not in line with the ancestral system. But I guess, sensei, you’re aiming for the Hokage position. As long as I’m here, the entire Land of Fire will be Konoha’s pasture and the people will be the sheep.”
“I’m willing to be sensei’s most loyal dog. Yes, what am I? Shepherd, sheepdog… Woof, woof, woof…” As he said this, Naraku actually got on all fours and barked like a dog in front of Tonan.
Seeing this scene, everyone who was lying on the ground not far away felt like the sky was falling.
“Your Majesty…”
“How can His Majesty be like this…”
“This is not His Majesty I know…”
The more Naraku barked, the more vigorous he became. He even shook his butt in front of Tonan. “Woof, woof, woof… sensei, look… I’m wagging my tail.”
Tonan tapped on the armrest with his finger and remained silent for a long time, looking at Naraku’s twinkling eyes.
