Chapter 70 brings a small shock to Conan's ninja skills.
When Conan and Asami returned, they saw a chaotic scene with everyone gathered in a circle, and in the middle was Kuroiwa Tatsuji, whose image could not be shown without being censored.
Kuroiwa Tatsuji's daughter, Kuroiwa Reiko, collapsed into her fiancé Murasawa Shuichi's arms, weeping with her face buried in her hands. Everyone present mourned the death of the village chief.
Even if the current village chief is unpopular, even if he abuses his power for personal gain, even if he encroaches on farmland, even if he pollutes the fish farm's waters,
Even him.
He's still the village chief, and the dead deserve respect, right?
Damn, thinking about it this way, Kuroiwa Tatsuji seems to have deserved to die. Although his death was a bit tragic, compared to all the scum he did, he deserved to die.
The villagers immediately stopped mourning Kuroiwa Tatsuji's death and even felt a sense of relief. However, with so many people around, it was not appropriate to kick him while he was down.
A living person was instantly sliced into pieces right before his eyes. Inspector Megure was on high alert, his hair standing on end in fury. Such utter depravity...
Ruthless thugs must be brought to justice.
After some questioning, Conan learned that shortly after they left, they were suddenly enveloped in a thick fog so dense that they couldn't see their own hands in front of their faces, and then they heard something fall to the ground.
Those who were close to Kuroiwa Tatsuji were sprayed with steaming blood.
Looking at the mosaic on the ground, the chorus of screams could be heard clearly throughout Moonshadow Island. Conan looked worriedly in the direction Akutagawa Hiko had left, but at this moment he couldn't even ask the police for help.
After seeing that small part of the report on TV, he no longer expected police officers, whose top-of-the-line equipment was a handgun and which they couldn't draw at will, to be involved in such incidents.
"What is that?"
Murasawa Shuichi's dark face instantly turned rosy, not because his father-in-law had died and he was in high spirits, but because of the firelight in the distance.
Almost everyone looked like their worldview had collapsed, and many superstitious people knelt down on the spot, saying things like the water god and the fire god were angry and begging for forgiveness.
Even the old policeman clasped his hands together and murmured "Amitabha Buddha, please bless me."
Turning our gaze to the woodlands near the sea not far away, a terrifying battle is breaking out.
A flame several meters high shot into the sky, followed by a giant wave that crashed down on it. The high temperature collided with the seawater, and the resulting large amount of water vapor condensed into a large amount of white mist when it encountered the cold air.
The ground trembled, the wind howled, and a giant made of rock and mud wrestled with a giant of crystalline ice.
However, due to the massive white fog, all that could be heard was the rumbling vibrations beneath their feet and the violent explosions within the thick fog.
Because of the low altitude, the fog wasn't as thick from Conan's perspective, and he could vaguely see some enormous creature moving in the fog.
As the tremors subsided, Conan instantly broke free from Ran's grasp and rushed in that direction, if Akutagawa needed help at this moment—
The sooner we get there, the better!
At this moment, Conan was worried about Akutagawa Hiko, but he was perfectly fine. On the contrary, he was in a very good mood. This trip not only solidified his character through acting, but also successfully improved the secret technique of Iwagakure: Earth Release: Gangri Style.
Now, the ability to create giant puppets using Ice Release can be seen as a way of realizing the dream of piloting a Gundam. While Ice Gundam and Earth Gundam may not be as powerful as Susanoo, their ability to be freely shaped is obviously much cooler.
It's a pity I haven't learned Earth Release: Super Light Heavy Rock Technique yet, otherwise, with two more wings, I could fly straight into the sky.
It's important to know that flight is a relatively rare skill in Naruto. Although there are many different types of ninjas, it's an undeniable fact that the vast majority of them cannot fly on their own.
Human beings' yearning for the blue sky is almost etched into their genes, and Akutagawa Hiko is no exception. He quickly put learning the Light and Heavy Rock Technique and the advanced version of the Super Light and Heavy Rock Technique on his agenda.
The chakra consumption was quite high. The formation of two giants nearly twenty meters tall required more chakra than Kakashi with only Sharingan could handle, not to mention maintaining the large-scale Hidden Mist Technique.
The Fire Release and Water Release techniques at the beginning were, in truth, merely superficial. The two combined were not as effective as a single, condensed Fireball; they were just a smokescreen.
When Conan arrived, he saw only a scene of devastation. Broken and collapsed trees, rocks, and ice were everywhere, and the ground was full of ravines. Akutagawa Hiko stood in the ruins, his armor, made of frozen ice, falling off piece by piece.
Before Conan could even check on Akutagawa Hiko's condition, he saw the other man beckoning him over.
Then he was immediately given a buff, with a red glowing bump on his head, proving that Akutagawa Hiko didn't hold back at all this time.
"It hurts, it hurts."
Akutagawa Hiko snorted: "It's supposed to hurt, I'll teach you a lesson. You dared to come over without even understanding anything. And are you trying to exhaust me? Do you know how many people will follow you if you make a move?"
Conan covered his head, looking resentfully at Akutagawa Hiko who didn't appreciate his kindness. However, he wasn't an unreasonable person. He knew he had been reckless this time, but if he encountered this situation again, he would still rush to the front.
Akutagawa Hiko quickly formed hand seals, then half-squatted on the ground and stuck his right hand into the soil. Instantly, the soil seemed to come alive, swallowing and concealing everything that was amiss on the ground.
Finally, Akutagawa deliberately left some pits and craters, as if it had been bombed.
This is not the first time Conan has faced such a shocking scene.
Conan has seen and even participated in rescue operations for natural disasters such as avalanches, mudslides, forest fires, and thunderstorms, but none of them have moved him as deeply as this one.
Because those are the great forces of nature, things that humankind cannot resist even with all its wisdom, while this action that has changed the topography of almost one-fifth of a small island comes from a person, a person who is not difficult to come into contact with in daily life.
The others arrived late and, seeing the scene before them, quickly surrounded Akutagawa Hiko and Conan, asking if they were injured or anything. Seeing that the two were unharmed, they then began to ask if they had made any discoveries.
Akutagawa had already prepared his explanation: "I found the killer's trail, so I followed him. However, the killer had planted explosives beforehand. Just as I lit them, a giant wave crashed over. Inspector Megure had a feeling something was wrong, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it. In addition, he trusted Akutagawa, so he figured he could get away with it by obtaining a record that could fool his superiors."
Most people were fooled. As for the few smart ones, they either sided with Akutagawa Hikaru or believed that it was better to avoid trouble and would not speak up. They just looked at Akutagawa Hikaru with a hint of awe.
