Chapter 57

Considering that the village will be on higher alert for the next month or so, Akira chose to delay her plans for three months.

During this time, she plans to complete both the blue sword technique and completely refine her body using lightning chakra. Finally, she will start her practice of nature chakra, further strengthening her arsenal.

In Akira's last talk with Karesegawa, he informed her that she had the qualifications to train in the crow sage arts, guaranteeing her that she could master it in less than a month, the biggest difficulty in mastering the crow's sage arts is to have the qualifications.

Be it in spiritual energy that she had greatly strengthened, same for her control, mastery and understanding of it, the physic that was tampered with the second stage art of infinite potential, and lastly the crow's techniques and killing art with a deadly use of the killing intent.

Akira considered the time that it could take coupled with the training in the other two techniques. It should be done in about four to five months.

Akira considered for a moment before choosing to delay it for five months.

After all, the her in three months will pale compared to the future her in five months.

Dealing with one problem, Akira faced a new dilemma. What is she going to do after acquiring the scroll.

Several possibilities surfaced in her mind, one of them is to destroy Konoha and have her revenge.

But it was quickly shrouded for the simple reason that she could do it in the way to any other goal.

An example will be having a good life and marrying a noble at the day, the go around and kill the shinobi of Konoha at night, while causing political issues for them.

Her hatred for Konoha is born of the fact that they betrayed her and lied about everything they said, even harming the things that she used to hold dear.

Truth is, she didn't mind being used as a weapon to kill, even assassinating and dirtying her hands for the village. Because in the end, it would be her home and place where she would raise her children.

But Konoha didn't want just that, Konoha wanted to have all their shinobi as pawns that could be controlled, if not then death. The fate of white fang is still clear in her mind.

Akira meditated and looked inside her for her best needs. The answers were not that far from her.

She needs a calm place where she conducts her reacherch without any annoyance, relationships with different nobles to have all kinds of materials and technology, and an identity for her to roam the world beside her name Akira. Maybe build a village to leave some seedling in case she dies.

As Akira contemplated her plans for the upcoming months, a newfound sense of strength welled up within her. She couldn't help but compare herself to her previous self, the one who had felt weak and vulnerable, manipulated and betrayed by Konoha. The contrast was stark, and a surge of determination coursed through her veins.

Gone were the days of naivety and blind trust. Akira honed her spiritual energy, enhancing her control, mastery, and understanding of it. The physical enhancements from the second stage of the art of infinite potential had further fortified her physique. She had immersed herself in the art of the crow sage, harnessing the techniques and the deadly power of killing intent. Every aspect of her being had transformed, and she reveled in her newfound strength.

With her increased abilities and the prospect of mastering the blue sword technique, refining her body with lightning chakra, and delving into nature chakra, Akira was confident in her potential. She envisioned herself becoming an unstoppable force, a shinobi with unparalleled skills and a mind sharpened by her experiences.

But amidst this surge of power, Akira also recognized the need for caution and a strategic approach. She acknowledged the time it would take to acquire the scroll of forbidden jutsu and further train herself. Five months seemed like a reasonable estimate, allowing her to become even stronger before executing her next move.

As Akira delved into her thoughts, contemplating what lay beyond the acquisition of the scroll, she realized the importance of a calm place for her research, connections with different nobles to access a variety of resources, and an identity beyond her name. These realizations only solidified her conviction that she needed to forge her own path, build her own future, and leave a lasting legacy.

In this moment, Akira felt a sense of empowerment, no longer confined by the limitations and betrayals of her past. She was driven by a burning desire for revenge but tempered by a clear understanding of her own best interests. She would harness her newfound strength, not only to seek vengeance but also to carve out a life that aligned with her ambitions and desires. And in that resolve, Akira found a strength that surpassed anything she had known before.
