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

Chapter 158 Shocking Change

The commotion caused by the birth of the demon resulted in heavy losses for the Swamp Country, where the demon's physical body resided, as well as the nearby Demon Country and other small countries.

In addition, these small countries are located on the border, in mountainous and dangerous areas. At this time, an earthquake of unknown magnitude shattered the mountains, making it impossible for anyone to get out or in, resulting in countless deaths and injuries.

However, no matter how difficult the terrain or how treacherous the natural barriers, it was clear that they posed no obstacle to the terracotta army of the demons.

Stepping over fragments of mountains, the vast army of terracotta warriors marched toward the interior of the Ninja World continent.

However, despite the large-scale invasion from the outside world and the recent devastating earthquake, Konoha remains calm and peaceful.

Even the largest earthquake will experience some loss as the seismic waves travel.

While the terracotta army of the demons is tireless and fearless of death, traversing mountains and seas as if on flat ground, it can only rely on eleven-way marching, and it will be some time before it is truly exposed to the world.

But once Black Zetsu is activated, how could he only make one or two moves?

……

The Land of Fire, Konoha.

The shadow of war has long since dissipated.

The sky was clear and cloudless, the air was fresh, and the sunshine was warm, making people feel relaxed and happy.

On a rare sunny day, Akali decided not to stay home and went out for a walk.

Just then, my former best friend, Yakumo Kurama, whom I'd met through a misunderstanding, sent me an invitation.

Furthermore, Akali had been resting for a long time after her great battle with Itachi Uchiha. Now, she was restless and ready to continue her previous plan to start another manga route for Yakumo.

So Akali simply went to Saddle Horse Manor.

At that moment, on the small hillside where Yakumo Kurama usually sketched, Akali was posing as a model for Yakumo, who was painting a portrait on a whim.

However, Akali soon regretted it.

because……

"Yes, yes, yes, hold that position!"

"Your eyes? What's with that look in your eyes? And what's with that downturned mouth of yours?"

"Is it really that hard for a character who can cleave a valley in two with a single sword strike to maintain a pose?"

Kurama Yakumo slammed his paintbrush onto the easel with a loud thud.

[Ding! Emotional value from Yakumo Kurama +999!]

Watching Akali maintain her pose for a while, looking beautiful, only to have her eyes lose their sparkle and drift off again soon after, Kurama Yakumo pouted, rolled her eyes in annoyance, and said sarcastically:

"Indeed, it's really an insult to have the famous Akali as a model for a lowly ninja like me."

"My little sister is not as lovable as Hinata-neechan after all. I'm so sorry I can't make Akali-sama happy!"

“Uh…” Akali was extremely embarrassed and had no way to refute it.

Because this is indeed her problem.

At first, Yakumo Kurama offered to paint her portrait. Although she knew that being a model was troublesome and time-consuming, she thought that with Yakumo's painting speed, it wouldn't take long.

Who would have thought that for Yakumo Kurama, ordinary paintings would be casual, but Akali's portraits would be meticulous and flawless.

But Akali's personality makes it really difficult for her to maintain one posture for a long time without getting distracted.

Since I've already agreed, am I supposed to tell Yakumo it's over?

Akali took a deep breath and said earnestly to Yakumo, "Sorry, let's do it again. I promise I won't get distracted this time!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Akali adopted the same mindset she had when facing Itachi Uchiha. She held her breath, relaxed her pretty face, and naturally smiled as she looked at Yakumo Kurama in an excellent posture.

Just then, the sunlight shone down, as if draping Akali in a thin layer of golden gauze.

Coupled with blue skies and white clouds, a gentle breeze, and the tranquil Konoha village behind Akali, a perfect picture unfolds naturally.

Seeing Akali's state, Yakumo Kurama immediately forgot about what to say, quickly changed the drawing paper, and started drawing in his best condition.

This time, both of them were serious, so naturally their writing flowed effortlessly.

Akali's stunning figure and naturally beautiful expression were captured perfectly in the painting before Kurama Yakumo, as if photographed.

As a result, Yakumo Kurama became even more serious, because she had a premonition that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, her painting skills would reach a new level once this painting was completed.

For a time, apart from the rustling of the wind through the leaves and grass on this secluded hillside, even the sound of breathing was barely audible.

However, sometimes, even if things don't go as planned, something unexpected will happen.

On Yakumo Kurama's scroll, Akali's main body was basically completed, and the corresponding background was about to be finished.

Behind Akali, on the clear blue sky that stretched out before her, suddenly appeared many small, dark black dots!

At first, these little black dots were very small.

But soon, the black spots multiplied, multiplied, and became thicker, as glaring as the Qianlong Emperor's stamp on those masterpieces in Akali's past life!

The perfect painting has now been stained!

Of course, although she is usually a spoiled and aloof young lady, Yakumo Kurama is still patient with her paintings.

The perfect picture was ruined, but she wasn't in a hurry. Instead, she waited patiently. After all, what else could be in the sky? Right now, it's just a black dot. If it gets any closer, it'll be a bird.

Blue skies, white clouds, and wild geese flying south—it's not without its own poetic beauty.

But after Yakumo Kurama stopped writing and waited, she noticed that the small black dots on the horizon behind Akali had turned yellow as the distance between them decreased!

And those weren't birds, but people wearing strange flying gear, flying in the sky like kites!

"What is that?!"

Kurama Yakumo put down his paintbrush and looked in that direction with a puzzled expression.

As those people got closer, some details were revealed—they were not just people, but ninjas wearing unfamiliar headbands!

Although Yakumo didn't recognize those ninja headbands, she wasn't some ignorant young lady with long hair.

A group of unfamiliar ninjas suddenly arrives in Konoha in strange flying devices. Could it be something good?

"Akali, something's happened!"

Kurama Yakumo immediately issued a warning.

With Yakumo's reminder, Akali, who had perked up when Yakumo stopped writing, immediately turned to look.

With her sharp eyesight, she immediately noticed details that Yakumo hadn't seen!

Professional windproof goggles, thick cloth windproof mask, a butterfly-shaped yellow flying machine, bombs at the waist, and a strange kunai-firing gun.

Without a doubt, this is an enemy that appeared in the Naruto movie—the Sky Ninja!

But didn't the Sky Ninja only appear in the Shippuden movie?

Akali had this question pop into her head.

However, by then no one could answer her.

Because the vanguard of the air ninja force had already arrived directly above Konoha, bombs rained down like a downpour!
