"That's just how the weak are."
Eileen hit the nail on the head.
Without absolute power, one can only compromise and submit.
However, there was some unrest within Iwagakure, and many people had already gathered there. She could sense the whole situation through magic.
“I agree,” Esdeath said softly. She absolutely believed in this philosophy; the feeling of being weak was so frustrating, a stark reality.
"Uchiha Hakumoku, let's not beat around the bush. Just tell me your purpose." Onoki knew that Hakumoku was determined to cause trouble, so he decided to see what the other party was after.
If you can accept it, then compromise; if not, then fight directly.
Anyway, since they're outside the village, I can force them to leave and then send the assembled troops out to attack. If a thousand men aren't enough, then five thousand, ten thousand, or twenty thousand.
My secluded place has few other things, but a lot of people.
I can outlast the Third Raikage, and you, Uchiha Hakubaku, aren't the real Uchiha Madara. While I am wary of you, I won't back down.
If necessary, then fight to the death!
"Compensate 1.5 billion taels and hand over the four or five tails." Upon seeing this, Bai Mu made his demands decisively.
"impossible."
Onoki exploded.
The Iwa ninja present were also furious.
By this time, a couple hundred Iwa ninja had already gathered, from Iwagakure's ANBU, guard units, combat squads, and so on. The number was indeed large, and soon more than a hundred people had arrived.
However, the negotiations between Hakubaki and Onoki caused the Iwagakure ninja's blood pressure to soar, and now that they were making such a harsh demand, it naturally enraged the Iwagakure ninja.
"Lord Tsuchikage, let's fight. We cannot accept such humiliating conditions."
"Konoha has come to declare war, let's fight!"
Public sentiment was running high!
The Iwa ninja present were all furious.
Bai Mu ignored this and didn't care what these weaklings were up to, while Onoki stared at Bai Mu with a gloomy expression and unfriendly eyes.
Is this outrageous request solely the idea of Uchiha Hakubaku, or is it the idea of Konoha?
I know the Uchiha clan is crazy.
But why are they so crazy?
Onoki is under a lot of pressure.
If one is not careful, Yan Yin will be doomed.
Isn't war terrifying? Yes, it is. Even Iwagakure can't withstand it. But the problem is that Bai Mu's attack is clearly aimed at war, which makes him undoubtedly wary.
At the same time, he began to doubt whether Bai Mu and Tsunade were really like Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama. If they were, then they would be really difficult to fight.
It's not that I'm afraid of this or that, it's just that it's really hard to fight.
But with so many people watching, and in Iwagakure, Onoki naturally couldn't back down, so he maintained his tough stance.
"Uchiha Hakumu, I don't care what your excuses are, this is impossible..."
Before Onoki could finish speaking, Bai Mu interrupted him, "Alright, let's start the war."
Fight, fight, fight my ass!
You're crazy.
Onoki, who was interrupted, almost vomited blood. How could this Uchiha brat be so crazy? Doesn't he know how terrible war is?
Yes, you Susanoo, but do you really think I'm easy to bully?
I've already said that the Third Raikage has already died from exhaustion, so one more won't make a difference.
No matter how powerful you are, do you think your eyes and your chakra can withstand it? You are on the territory of my Hidden Stone Village, this is the Land of Earth, not the Land of Fire, not your Hidden Leaf Village.
"Uchiha brat, don't think you're invincible just because you have Sharingan. You're not Madara Uchiha, you don't have his power. So what if your Fourth Hokage awakened Wood Release? Do you really think she's Hashirama Senju?"
Onoki took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to start a battle. Ultimately, he was wary of Hakubaki's Susanoo, so he had to hold back. Even if he had to fight, he had to stay away from the village.
Furthermore, Onoki still felt that Hakumoku's actions were merely to gain more benefits, and that he didn't necessarily intend to fight. Was Konoha really just a place where Hakumoku, the Uchiha, had absolute power?
"Esdeath."
Seeing this, Bai Mu knew that Onoki wouldn't dare to make a move, or rather, wouldn't dare to make the first move, so he gave the order to Esdeath.
"it is good."
Upon hearing this, Esdeath's lips curled into a cruel smile. She knew what Bai Mu meant; the area needed to be cleared out first.
As soon as she finished speaking, a chilling aura emanated from beneath Esdeath's feet. Centered on her, the cold aura rapidly spread outwards and gradually condensed into ice.
The attack spread in waves, freezing a group of Iwa ninja in the blink of an eye. There were at least dozens of them, while dozens more managed to scatter and escape unscathed.
It was just a pity for those dozens of people, who couldn't escape the onslaught of the cold air and were directly frozen into ice sculptures, with very peculiar shapes.
The biting cold made the Iwa ninja who had escaped the calamity feel a chill that penetrated to the bone, instilling deep fear in them from the outside in.
When Onoki witnessed this scene, he could no longer hold back. If he retreated any further, he would become a sinner of Iwagakure. He was not the kind of weak person.
"Uchiha Hakubaki, I will kill you!"
Dozens of people died in an instant, which was unacceptable to Onoki. Even if Iwagakure has many ninja, we can't do this, especially since they were killed in an instant.
Who exactly is that blue-haired woman?
That's right, it's that woman with one of the Ice Release powers... The blonde and blue-haired ones are one of those two women, so Uchiha Hakumu's reliance is not only on the power of the Uchiha and Senju, but also on those two Ice Release women.
Wait, there's more, who is this woman with crimson hair?
Although Onoki was very angry, he still quickly began to analyze the situation.
It's true that those who come with ill intentions don't come at all.
The enemy is truly determined to do so.
I was careless!
Chapter 209 Esdeath's Solo Show
"Father!"
The yellow earth has already attacked.
Upon seeing this scene, the dozens of Iwa ninja who were frozen in ice almost fainted.
Good grief, they just started fighting right away? And we suffered such heavy losses? Dozens of people were gone in the blink of an eye?
Although they are mainly genin, they are all good seedlings from Iwagakure... cough cough, good seedlings for cannon fodder, but they can't be given away for nothing. Cannon fodder should also have a way of dying.
It's gone so quickly, frozen solid, it's completely worthless!
"Shut up!"
Onoki was very irritable and shouted angrily without even turning his head.
loess:"……"
My father is extremely irritable.
I can't afford to offend them, I have to behave myself.
He clearly knew that Onoki was in a bad mood, which was understandable. After all, we had lost dozens of men while the enemy was unscathed. Could this be accepted or allowed?
Obviously not, absolutely not, so he could understand his father's mindset, but he still needed to make a quick decision on whether or not to go to war.
Or is it just about taking out these few people...?
Oh, you can't say kill him. He's the head of the Uchiha clan, the assistant to the Hokage of Konoha, and the captain of the security force. You can't just kill him.
Of course, the main problem is that we can't beat them; that's the key point.
Huang Tu looked at the Susanoo. Even though it was just the upper body, its imposing appearance, ferocious face, and thick armor made it clear that it was not to be trifled with.
To be honest, it's not something he can do just because he wants to; he has to be careful with some things.
"Uchiha Hakumo, I don't know where your confidence comes from, but I can tell you that I will not yield. Since you want to fight, then let's fight."
Onoki knew that Shiramaki's move was to force them to back down, but what would it mean if they did?
This means that Iwagakure has lost face big time, so there's no way they'll back down.
Whether war will break out is hard to say.
But now we must subdue this group.
Kill...
Uchiha Hakubaki cannot be killed.
Otherwise, there would be a big problem. But if there is an opportunity, it might be possible to kill him. Onoki is currently undecided: should he kill him, capture him, or drive him away?
Clearly, they are indecisive and hesitant.
"Continue.~".
Bai Mu did not answer, but simply let Esdeath continue.
The latter readily agreed, his smile growing increasingly cruel. I like this decisive approach; if you're not convinced, beat you until you are.
If they still refuse to submit, then kill them.
If they are all killed, there will naturally be no dissenting voices.
Irene remained silent, having gained some understanding of Esdeath's madness; she was indeed a combat freak and truly abnormal.
No wonder Alice said he was a sadistic pervert.
Only when facing Shiro Mu does he switch from S to...
Well, what an amazing person. I must prevent my daughter Erza from having too much contact with her in the future; I need to avoid it.
Esdeath had no idea what Irene was thinking. All she wanted to do was start fighting and wanted to continue her rampage and slaughter.
A thrilling battle.
