Naruto: I, the villain template, was hailed as a savior.

Chapter 91 Who ordered you? (Seeking monthly votes!!)

Akimichi Tsutomu felt as if the whole world had fallen into a deathly silence.

Just a second ago, he was near the Hokage Building, teaming up with others to fight off the enemy.

The next second, it was as if a small sun suddenly exploded overhead, and the close-range light and roar blinded and deafened him.

Then, in the silence, a raging fire was reflected in his eyes, and a raging heat rushed toward him.

Just before the flames engulfed him, a broad-shouldered figure ran towards him, its mouth wide open as if roaring.

"Brother Qu Feng."

Although Akimichi Tsutomu couldn't hear his voice, he could vaguely read the words he was roaring.

"Si Dong, get down!!"

In Akimichi Tsutomu's increasingly bloodshot pupils, a raging torrent of fire surged from behind him, the heat rushing into his clothes and making a whooshing sound, as he saw him put a green pill into his mouth.

That was the Akimichi clan's secret medicine, the "Green Spinach Pill," which could instantly unleash 30% of a person's athletic potential and increase their strength to more than three times their limit.

Akimichi Torifu was like a punctured balloon; his once plump figure instantly became thin.

Almost tangible chakra surged from behind him, transforming into pale blue flowing butterfly wings that unfurled on his back. Akimichi Torifu's gaunt face was no longer honest; reflected in the blood-red firelight, it even appeared somewhat majestic.

"What a nice view."

Akimichi Tsutomu, whose mind had been blank, subconsciously had this thought at this moment.

—Like an ugly insect breaking out of its cocoon and transforming into a beautiful butterfly.

This was Akimichi Tsutomu's last thought, and then the fire surge and impact engulfed everything.

The Konoha ninjas in front of him were all thrown up, and all he could see were the crimson flames and those huge blue butterfly wings.

Akimichi Secret Technique: Butterfly Transformation Mode!

Amidst the deafening roar, Akimichi Torifu let out a thunderous scream: "Super Multiplication Technique!!"

boom!!

Akimichi Tsutomu's body was instantly thrown into the air, feeling as if he had been hit head-on by a giant elephant running at high speed. His expression was one of astonishment as he tumbled and flew backward in mid-air.

He flew dozens of meters before crashing into a wall.

Bang! Crack!

His body emitted a sharp, teeth-grinding cracking sound as he fell from the wall to the ground, a surge of intense pain coursing through him.

"Ugh!"

Akimichi Tsutomu let out a groan, a sharp buzzing sound ringing in his ears.

He seemed to hear someone calling his name, but the voice seemed to be coming from very, very far away, and his consciousness seemed to drift away to even more distant places...

Snapped!

It wasn't until someone slapped him hard that the intense pain pulled him back to reality.

The incessant tinnitus and the black spots in his vision slowly faded, and the sounds of burning and noise once again filled his ears.

"Cough cough! Si Dong! Si Dong!"

Familiar voices called out from nearby. Akimichi Tsutomu, who was lying on the ground, struggled to turn his head and saw his friend Nara Suzaku.

He was covered in dirt and blood, and his exposed skin was cracked, as if a large number of capillaries had been ruptured by the shock.

"...Brother Qu Feng."

Two gruesome gashes marred Akimichi Tsukasa's face as he suddenly grabbed Nara Suzaku's arm and asked hoarsely, "Brother Torifu, how is he?!"

The joy that had risen on Nara Suzaku's face because his friend was unharmed instantly froze, and he subconsciously turned his head to look at the Hokage Building in the distance, which was located at the center of the explosion.

Huff!

A gust of wind swept through the pillar of dust that connected heaven and earth, dispersing the lingering smoke.

Instead, what appeared before the eyes of the Konoha people was a giant spiral hole with a diameter of several tens of meters.

Hiruzen Sarutobi put away his Ruyi Jingu Bang and stood solemnly atop a three-story house, the firelight casting a long shadow over him.

Even in the morning, the raging flames illuminated the surroundings, thick black smoke rose, and the Hokage Building crackled and burned in the fire.

The barrier that had enveloped the building was still shattering and flickering, revealing a chaotic scene inside, like the belly of a meat grinder. It had been completely pierced by the beam of light that descended from the sky, and the structure supporting the building had been directly melted and dismantled.

Crack! Bang!

The roar of steel bars and rubble breaking and falling filled the air, and the flames drifted down and died out in front of Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"...to obtain the wind."

He slowly crouched down, looking at Akimichi Torifu, whose back was now charred black and whose side was bleeding profusely. His expression was grim as he whispered, "Stay awake, the medical team will be here soon."

"Butterfly Transformation" is a powerful secret technique passed down by the Akimichi clan. It can instantly convert the fat accumulated in daily life into energy, greatly enhancing one's physical functions and chakra, and condensing the chakra to the point that it can materialize and fly in the air.

Normally, one needs to swallow the "Red Chili Pepper Pill," which has the strongest effects and side effects among the "Three-Color Pills," to use it. However, with Akimichi Torifu's strength, he only needs the "Green Spinach Pill," which has the weakest effects and side effects, to use it.

Hiruzen Sarutobi knew that Akimichi Torifu could have easily protected himself from that powerful attack, but he didn't.

Because he exposed his back to the raging explosion and fire, and then used his butterfly wings to protect the Konoha ninja in front of him.

"Cough! Cough cough!"

As if hearing Hiruzen Sarutobi's voice, Akimichi Torifu suddenly coughed up blood, a smile tugging at his thin face: "Get lost, I'm not dead yet, don't look so gloomy in front of me..."

His entire back was severely burned, and shards of rock pierced through his side, taking away a large chunk of scarlet flesh.

And this was only the result of his best efforts to dodge based on his experience; otherwise, his abdomen would have been pierced through by now.

At that point, he would lose half of his stomach, a third of his intestines, and part of his kidneys, instead of just losing a small piece of flesh the size of half a palm, as he has now.

However, such an injury was still considered fatal, and blood kept gushing from the wound on his waist.

Akimichi Torifu felt as if all the strength in his body was flowing away along with his blood.

"Good, good, good, as long as you're not dead, as long as you're not dead!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi, unaware of his thoughts, breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, the weight lifted from his heart. He whispered, "If you die at the hands of that kind of guy, he'll definitely laugh at you when he sees Kagami."

Seeing the medical team rushing over from a distance, he took one last look at Akimichi Torifu.

He immediately looked up at the sky with a gloomy expression, looking at the instigators who had caused all of this.

The unassuming yet incredibly powerful ninja tool had risen even higher, with a dozen or so aerial ninjas guarding its sides, looking down at Hiruzen Sarutobi and the Konoha ninjas below.

"It seems I underestimated you."

Hiruzen Sarutobi, wielding his staff in one hand, ripped off his divine robes, revealing his combat uniform beneath, and coldly said, "Before I kill you, tell me, who are you? Who ordered you?"
