Naruto: All I want to do after transforming into Akali is be happy!

Chapter 164 Current Situation

"Huh? What crime doesn't warrant death?"

Akali found Darui's words somewhat strange.

Fortunately, once her gaze left Samui's heavy, captivating gaze, Akali finally remembered her earlier witty remarks.

"Oh, sorry, I'm just used to being cheeky, I couldn't stop myself, don't mind me!"

Akali waved her hand casually.

"You woman!" Akali's dismissive attitude further enraged Azii.

This time, however, before Akali could react, Darui stepped forward, using his broad back to separate Akali from Atzii.

Seeing this, Atsi lowered his head and fell silent, seemingly realizing something.

Akali, oblivious to the situation, hadn't yet noticed anything amiss, but Shino Aburame and Sasuke, who were following behind her, frowned first.

"Hey Akali, the Cloud Ninja are acting a bit strange towards us!"

Sasuke reminded him in a low voice.

"Is that strange?" Akali realized after Sasuke reminded her.

Darui was so cautious with her, yet Atsi acted so mindlessly; this was clearly problematic.

Since Darui is the successor of the Black Lightning of the Third Raikage, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him the heir of the Cloud Ninja.

A leader of the next generation of Cloud Ninja who possesses strength, prestige, and intelligence is unlikely to be unable to control his subordinates.

However, Akali knew beforehand that Azir was a brainless person, so she wasn't surprised.

Looking back now, I realize that while I acted irritably and recklessly, I was also careful and cautious to avoid making things worse and causing everyone to break off relations.

So... were the Cloud Ninja testing her?

Akali snapped out of her daze.

It seems that her battle with Itachi Uchiha, a clash of titans, shocked not only Konoha.

Those like the Cloud Ninja, who have long coveted the top spot in the ninja world, regard her as a special combatant who needs to be investigated!

"Tsk!" Akali shook her head, suddenly feeling a sense of boredom.

Unexpectedly, she was after the blonde woman's breasts, but the blonde woman was after everything she had.

Can't we just be friends who know each other superficially?

Hey!

Akali sighed helplessly.

Fortunately, after chatting with the Cloud Ninja for a while, Akali's true good sister, Temari, arrived.

"Hey, Akali, long time no see!"

Temari greeted Akali warmly with a hug and said in a carefree manner, "I didn't expect you to be leading the team this time!"

"Yes, I didn't expect that the Sand Village would send Temari."

Akali was caught off guard by the sudden hug, but she reciprocated by wrapping her arm around Temari's slender waist, letting their softness meet: "After this is over, let's go to the hot springs together?"

"Great! It's on me. I happen to know a really nice hot spring resort in the capital of the Land of Fire!" Temari readily agreed.

She couldn't let go of the opportunity to build a good relationship with Akali.

Before the two could agree on a specific time, another lively voice came from outside.

"Me too! Count me in! I love hot springs!"

Akali turned her head and a pair of long, slender legs encased in fishnet stockings immediately came into view.

And who else could this be but the future infamous Kurotsuchi with his leg-shaped silhouette?

Hot springs have a skin-smoothing effect, and Heitu's skin will be very smooth in the future. Thinking about it this way, she probably really enjoys soaking in hot springs.

Akali smiled warmly at the thought of being able to touch Leg Shadow's slender yet shapely legs beforehand: "Sure, welcome! I love making friends with cute girls."

Temari, Akali, and Kurotsuchi were delighted to see each other.

Seeing this, Kirigakure Ao looked at Chojuro beside him.

"Hmm, we should have brought a female ninja with us. Otherwise, we wouldn't have had a chance to say a word."

"There's nothing we can do. If Ringo were still here, she would have been included, but Yuri..."

Chojuro's expression was regretful and somewhat sad.

Seeing that he had aggravated his companion's wound, Qing shook his head helplessly: "Well, birth, aging, sickness and death are things that can't be helped!"

"Let's wait for them for now, as a gesture of chivalry!"

"Yes!" Chojuro nodded. "We just need to prepare for the attack!"

Whether it was because Ringo Ameyuri's story was too tragic or something else, Chojuro spoke very quickly and unclearly when he said he was preparing to attack, giving the impression of an ancient god whispering.

"Hmm?" Akali, who was snuggling up to the girl, suddenly became alert, as if someone was about to hug her.

But the people holding her right now are Temari and Kurotsuchi, aren't they?

Forget it! Akali ignored her strange feeling.

She looked around and realized that the demons seemed to have really pushed the four great ninja villages to the brink this time, sending only the elite of the elite.

Among them, the three Iwa ninjas are Kurotsuchi, the future Fourth Hokage with the Leg Shadow; Akatsuchi, the current steed of Onoki; and a ninja from a demolition unit.

The two hidden figures are Ao, who possesses the Byakugan, and Chojuro, the future Sixth Mizukage.

The five Cloud Ninja, Samui's team, Samui's younger brother Atsui, and the future Fifth Raikage Darui.

Compared to the future Kage mentioned above, the Sand Village side is relatively weaker, but they still have the Kazekage siblings Temari and Kankuro, plus Sand Village ninja Nohara Rin, Maki, and a medical ninja.

Add Naruto from the Chiba Squad, wow, four future Kage are in five squads, this configuration is maxed out, really maxed out.

"So, what information does everyone have at the moment?"

"I remember the main objective this time was to find the priestess of the Land of Demons, Shion?"

After the five teams met and got to know each other, Akali asked the others.

"Yes, the demon has always been under the care of the priestess of the Demon Kingdom. The sudden unsealing of the demon this time must have a hidden story, and the priestess of the Demon Kingdom is the key for us to unravel the mystery."

When the topic turned to the mission, Temari became serious: "As for information about the priestess of the Land of Demons, we don't have any yet, but..."

Temari looked at Darui beside her.

“Let me speak!” Darui stepped forward: “We don’t have information about the priestesses of the Land of Demons, but we do have information about the survivors of the Land of Demons.”

"Contrary to the predictions of the major ninja villages that the Land of Demons would be completely destroyed, a considerable portion of the Land of Demons has actually survived."

"Huh?" Akali was quite surprised by this information.

"But didn't the entire army of demons just cross over the Land of Demons?"

"Given the bloodthirstiness of the demon army, could anyone possibly survive in the Land of Demons?"

“Yes!” Darui unfolded a map and pointed to the Land of Demons on it: “Look closely!”

"The Land of Demons is here, but the actual origin of the demons is in the Land of Swamps, right here! And this is their marching route!"

"I see!"

Seeing Darui's instructions, Sasuke understood:

"We all thought the army of demons had annihilated the entire Land of Demons, but because the Land of Swamp is above the Land of Demons, the army of demons actually only cleared half of the Land of Demons!"

“Yes!” Darui nodded seriously: “And if the priestess of the Land of Demons is still alive, then she must have hidden herself in the other half of the Land of Demons, a land that the demons disdain to conquer!”

That's our destination!

"However, figuring out where to go is still a bit of a problem!"

As he spoke, Darui drew another line on the map, and along that line, various ninja village markers stood out prominently.

It was obvious that this was the front line of the current Allied Shinobi Forces.

Darui scanned the group: "If we want to get to the Land of Demons, we have to cross the front lines first!"
