Of course, this means that if one side comes to power, the other side will definitely suffer.
Furthermore, the Hidden Cloud Village will inevitably suffer a severe blow.
They had already suffered a tragedy.
Two generations of Raikage have died, and most of the three thousand elite Cloud Ninja have been wiped out. The casualties are already immense. If the village were to fight amongst itself again, the casualties would only be greater.
The problem is that without doing this, the future is uncertain and it's impossible to know who the Raikage will be. Therefore, for the sake of Kumogakure, the only way to resolve this ultimate issue is through armed conflict.
Of course, Killer Bee, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, was unable to participate in this internal struggle. Although the Black faction was very dissatisfied with this, the White faction had no choice but to believe that if the Jinchuriki were involved, how could they fight?
Therefore, it was necessary to refuse the participation of the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki in the battle, and the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning was appointed as the referee for this event. The Land of Lightning was very dissatisfied with the Hidden Cloud Village, especially the Black Faction ninjas, who already harbored a deep aversion to it.
You guys keep bragging about how great you are, but you can't actually beat them. What else can you say now?
They must step down; a new faction needs to take the stage.
White naturally became his first choice.
At least the white ones look pleasing to the eye.
You black people are disgusting!
Chapter 240 The Secret Talks Between Iwagakure and Sunagakure
As for Kirigakure, the situation remains unstable. The Fourth Mizukage has been targeted by Obito, and Black Zetsu and Obito Uchiha are determined to use Kirigakure as their secret base.
Obito wanted revenge, all for Rin Nohara.
Black Zetsu was doing this for the resources he needed. Researching the Impure World Reincarnation technique required a lot of resources, and Kirigakure, as one of the Five Great Nations, certainly didn't lack funds, not to mention manpower.
The fact that the Blood Mist policy has been in place for so many years without the village collapsing is enough to prove its strength.
Although the Blood Mist policy that began during the time of the Third Mizukage cannot be compared to the extreme period when the Fourth Mizukage was controlled by Obito Uchiha, the loss of talent was still considerable.
Therefore, Black Zetsu felt that controlling such a village for his own research and concealment was not a bad thing, and that Konoha's power was too great and its strength too terrifying, so these ninja villages needed to unite.
Kirigakure has always been isolated and has no contact with the outside world. In order to get Kirigakure involved, it is necessary to control the current Mizukage so that communication with the outside world can be established.
The key point is to unite with other ninja villages to fight against the increasingly powerful Konoha.
Therefore, both of these major ninja villages are currently facing their own troubles.
At 980 minutes past the hour, I had no opinion on this matter.
Only Sunagakure...
The reaction was the most intense.
Upon learning of this, Rasa immediately retracted his previous unreasonable and audacious statements and instead rushed to the Land of Earth to secretly discuss an alliance with Onoki.
The two sides did not hold a secret meeting in Iwagakure, but chose a relatively remote and secluded town. Rasa only brought three guards with him.
As for Onoki, he only brought two people with him.
The loess soil is injured and cannot be lifted up.
So I brought Red Earth and Wenya.
Onoki, however, doesn't mince words.
He got straight to the point.
"Konoha's strength far exceeds ordinary people's imagination. If we don't join forces, there is no hope at all. What I mean is that if we want to join forces, we must join forces in a real way. We should stop causing trouble in secret and stop worrying about the distribution of benefits. What we need now is genuine cooperation. Otherwise, this alliance is meaningless."
Onoki wanted a genuine alliance, not just empty words. There was no point in cooperating on the surface while engaging in underhanded tactics.
Because this would only hold us back, it's better not to join forces at all.
"Tsuchikage, what does this mean?"
Luo Sha was very unhappy, wondering if what you meant was implying something. "With what you're implying, I'm already being polite by not getting angry."
"What do you mean?"
Upon hearing this, Onoki couldn't help but sneer repeatedly. He really couldn't stand Rasa, that kind of treacherous villain who only knew how to scheme behind people's backs.
Cooperation should be straightforward; let's stop with those pointless little tricks.
"Let's not beat around the bush. We've all done these underhanded things behind the scenes. You know it, I know it. There's no need to play innocent here. My point is simpler: if we're going to cooperate, we'll cooperate for real. We're facing a life-or-death situation right now. Konoha is ambitious and wants the entire ninja world. That brat Uchiha Hakumoku clearly has the strength, but he's choosing to take it slow because Konoha needs to digest and develop. They're waiting for their chance to take over the ninja world in one fell swoop. From now on, there will only be one Konoha. That's their ambition."
Onoki put it bluntly: Konoha is not without strength, or rather, Uchiha Hakumoku is strong, but he chose to hold back in order to take over the ninja world more safely and smoothly. What does this mean?
This means they are serious and committed to the truth. The ninja world is about to undergo earth-shattering changes. Konoha will unify the ninja world and destroy all our countries. This is the greatest threat and the most terrible disaster in the ninja world today.
Luo Sha: "..."
His words and actions were utterly erratic.
But is that even possible?
Yes, but the problem is that it's easy to say. It's quite difficult for us to really put aside our prejudices and cooperate sincerely, because it's not something that can be achieved by words alone. You, Onoki, know this yourself, yet now you're lecturing me.
"Onoki, I didn't want to reopen old wounds for your Iwagakure village after such a terrible disaster, but you're being ungrateful. Are you implying that I don't care about the alliance?"
Damn it, this is intolerable!
Luo Sha was very dissatisfied with this. His tone suddenly turned cold, and a hint of murderous intent was faintly revealed in his eyes. Did he really think I was easy to bully?
"Fourth Kazekage, you should at least show some respect to this old man. Don't just call me by my first name all the time," Onoki sneered, his words filled with dissatisfaction.
What right do you have to call me that?
Honestly, you haven't seen how terrifying Uchiha Hakubaki is. He can destroy everything with a wave of his hand. Do you think you have the right to be arrogant?
For Onoki, the impact of the crushing defeat was enormous, so he was seething with anger, especially since Rasa was so arrogant...
Do you think he's angry or not?
That could be described as extreme anger.
If it weren't for the dire situation, I wouldn't even give you a second glance. You're such a piece of trash, you're nothing, yet you dare to talk back to me?
Onoki really looked down on Rasa. He wasn't particularly skilled, his methods were mediocre, and he liked to stir up trouble. You started the war, but you were directly tamed by Konoha. Don't say it wasn't true; you're a military ally, so how could it not be?
Don't tell me you're just being patient and waiting for the right opportunity. Given the current situation, waiting won't necessarily change anything...
Honestly, you're really no good, just a complete waste.
Luo Sha: "..."
As for?
Is he really that crazy?
Seeing Onoki so crazy, Rasa felt that the four of Iwagakure had really suffered, which made Onoki mentally unstable. You guys are already like this, why are you still criticizing him?
"Hmph, Tsuchikage, I won't waste words. How much military strength do you have left? You let a brat from the Uchiha clan come knocking on your door. So what if the opponent is strong? Do you think he'll survive?"
Luo Sha has not yet witnessed Bai Mu's strength, so he naturally thinks that no matter how powerful the opponent is, he can survive being surrounded.
Besides, isn't it also poisonous?
Our Sunagakure village is most skilled in using poison.
Poison him, that should be enough, right?
"Extremely arrogant. Do you still think that the threat from Konoha is just a minor issue? Your understanding is extremely shallow."
Onoki's dissatisfaction with Rasa's arrogance was palpable; he was so annoyed that he seriously considered whether to continue their cooperation.
If Sunagakure is not a good fit, then it's best to give up on it and consider other ninja villages instead.
For example, the Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Mist Village, these two ninja villages are the key ones.
But this isn't the only way the four great ninja villages have the resources.
Otherwise, it would be difficult to contend with the then-dominant Konoha.
Chapter 241 Onoki: If the righteous path doesn't work, then let's try the evil path.
shallow?
This is a lecturing tone.
To be honest, it's absolutely disgusting.
Rasa felt very annoyed. Why did he always talk like that? You old fool, but he knew very well that it would be impossible to fight against Konoha without other ninja villages.
Although he didn't think Konoha's strength was that exaggerated, the fact remained that Iwagakure had been defeated, and more importantly, both tailed beasts had been captured.
Konoha's targeting of the Tailed Beasts made Rasa very uneasy, as it reminded him of the Tailed Beasts in his own village, so he had to find a way to counter them.
The best course of action at present is for the major ninja villages to join forces.
“Tsuchikage, we still need to talk about cooperation, because without cooperation, there is really no future,” Rasa said patiently, indicating his preference for cooperation.
"If we're going to cooperate, it all comes down to your sincerity," Onoki said with a serious expression and a very earnest tone.
"You want my sincerity? What about you?" Luo Sha was immediately confused upon hearing this.
Sincerity?
Where is my sincerity, and where is yours?
"I have shown my sincerity. We should help each other in military and economic matters, and we should also look for breakthroughs in other areas."
Ōnoki expressed his sincerity, saying that it was impossible for him to say he hadn't given anything; in fact, he had already given it all.
Luo Sha: "???"
Are you kidding me?
Just talking is easy; anyone can talk.
Sincerity, sincerity, it has to be sincerity.
"Tsuchikage, this is not enough, not nearly enough."
In any case, Rasa felt it wasn't enough, so he wanted Onoki to continue to show sincerity, sincerity that satisfied him.
"Then what do you want?" Onoki retorted, annoyed.
what the hell?
