Five Great Nations are hostile to each other, but also interdependent.
There is no war that must destroy the country. Even if it is a Ninja World war, major powers will fight together.
Therefore, regarding Naruto's friend request, firstly, Ōnoki thought that Naruto was just saying it for fun; secondly, even if Naruto really wanted to become friends with Iwagakure, it was not impossible.
Once interests are involved, friends will not exist.
Ōnoki's openness surprised Naruto. He suddenly smiled and said, "It's great. I didn't expect that Lord Tsuchikage also wants to be friends with me."
"Of course." Ōnoki said with a smile, "We are friends now, everyone, right?"
Ōnoki looked at other Iwagakure Ninja.
"Yes, Master Naruto, we are friends and good friends. I wish you and Konoha can become good friends." Iwagakure Ninja said while raising their glasses.
Seeing this scene, Naruto immediately looked at Ōnoki solemnly and said, "Lord Tsuchikage, we are not friends yet!"
Seeing Naruto's serious expression, Ōnoki's expression froze and he didn't know what kind of medicine Naruto was selling in the gourd. However, he had been in Tsuchikage's position for a long time and had seen many scenes, so he calmly asked, "Lord Hokage, then, how can we be considered friends?"
"To be friends with me, you must let me see your sincerity. If I don't see your sincerity, then how can you become my friend." Naruto said.
"Oh, that's it." Ōnoki squinted his eyes and said, "Then, how can we reflect our Iwagakure's sincerity?"
The atmosphere at this moment was a bit subtle. All the Iwagakure Ninjas looked at Naruto with dark eyes. They all felt that at this moment, Naruto seemed to have come to Iwagakure on purpose to ruin the situation.
Naruto was not worried about this delicate atmosphere and the tense situation among the Iwagakure Ninjas. He did not take the Iwagakure Ninjas here seriously at all. He just came to make friends. He believed that the Iwagakure Ninjas were all very civilized.
Immediately, Naruto explained, "That is, let us have a friendly discussion. Only after a friendly discussion can I see your sincerity."
As soon as Naruto finished speaking, the eyes of Iwagakure Ninja became even more unkind. They were sure at this moment that Naruto came to Iwagakure just to ruin things.
Everyone stopped what they were doing, and quietly focused their attention on Ōnoki and Naruto. As long as Ōnoki gave the order, all Iwagakure Ninja present would all attack Naruto.
It's too much. Even if you are Lord Hokage or Iwagakure of Konoha, you are not someone you can insult casually.
Naruto looked at Ōnoki with a smile on his face. Ōnoki fell silent, seeming to be thinking.
Perhaps, he was thinking about whether to take action against Naruto and his group now.
The war is about to break out!
In response to this tense atmosphere, Nagato, Sasuke, and Kurama, two of them and one fox, continued to enjoy the food on the table, as if all this had nothing to do with them.
The performance of the two and one fox fell into the eyes of Ōnoki and Iwagakure Ninja. They were all thinking that these two people and one fox were too ambitious. Don't they know that as long as Ōnoki made a decision, the two and one fox would fall into the group attack of Iwagakure Ninja and be killed in an instant.
However, Ōnoki has a deep mind, which can be said to be stable. Logically speaking, after being insulted like this by Naruto, Ōnoki should not hesitate to take action to defeat Naruto and restore Iwagakure's dignity.
However, after he saw the performance of Nagato, Sasuke, and Kurama, Ōnoki felt a little nervous and he hesitated.
What do these two people have to rely on?
So calm? How many masters are there who are not afraid of death?
From the information, Ōnoki learned that Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi of Konoha died in the hands of the man named Naruto Uzumaki in front of him. It can be seen that Naruto Uzumaki's strength is very powerful.
However, no matter how powerful he is, he can't even think about fighting against the entire Iwagakure.
It's just... Sasuke and others' disregard, and Naruto's smile, made Ōnoki hesitate. He thought about how to break this tense situation. After thinking about it, Ōnoki smiled:
"Since Lord Hokage wants to weigh the strength of Iwagakure Ninja, then Iwagakure is very willing to Lord Hokage's request."
As soon as Ōnoki's words came out, all the Iwagakure Ninjas were instantly filled with fighting spirit.
For the Iwagakure Ninjas who were full of fighting spirit, Naruto nodded and felt very satisfied. This is how it is, and it will be more interesting later. Otherwise, it will be too boring.
He still hopes that everyone can be as strict with their friends as Sasuke. The original Sasuke only became friends with him after three friendly discussions.
It can be seen that Sasuke has high requirements for friends.
However, it is also very beneficial to become a friend with such a person who has high demands on friends, that is, he will consider things from the perspective of a friend wholeheartedly.
"Great. Thank you Mr. Ōnoki. So, without further ado, let's find an open place and become friends with you Iwagakure Ninjas." Naruto smiled.
"Hey, you are young and energetic after all." Ōnoki thought in his heart. Naruto became Hokage at such a young age, which indeed surprised him for a time. However, it was also because of his youth that Naruto was obviously not mature enough to do things.
Since Naruto insists on becoming friends with Iwagakure through discussion.
Then, Ōnoki decided to use the trick. He first sent other Iwagakure Ninja to compete with Naruto, using the wheel battle method to exhaust Chakra of Naruto. Then, he took action himself to defeat Naruto who had exhausted Chakra.
It might as well teach Naruto a lesson not to be too aggressive.
"Lord Hokage, please." Immediately, Ōnoki stood up and stretched out his hand to signal Naruto to go ahead, preparing to follow Naruto's request to find an open place for him to have a friendly discussion with the ninjas of Iwagakure.
Naruto immediately stood up, and immediately, Iwagakure Ninja led Naruto forward.
Sasuke and Nagato also followed. Nagato came to Ōnoki, glanced at Ōnoki, and said, "Ōnoki, you made a right choice."
With Nagato's knowledge, he naturally knows what Ōnoki was struggling with just now. If Ōnoki had not chosen this, but really took action against Naruto, then today, the entire Iwagakure would probably become a thing of the past.
This is how his Akatsuki became a thing of the past.
Hearing Nagato's words, Ōnoki didn't take it seriously. Even if Naruto was strong, he was only a little stronger than him. Could he still be as strong as the sky?
Nagato shook his head, passed by Ōnoki, and followed Naruto.
Ōnoki, you really know nothing about the horror of Naruto. I hope that you will not make the wrong decision in the future.
Nagato mourns for Ōnoki in his heart.
Soon, Naruto and others, as well as Iwagakure's ninjas, came to an open place, surrounded by Kitsuchi. This kind of terrain is also conducive to the Ninjutsu of Iwagakure Ninja's Ninjutsu.
On its own territory, Ninjutsu has the bonus of terrain advantage.
Naruto looked at the large venue in front of him and nodded immediately. If it was an indoor place, he would have destroyed it with just one transformation. Konoha's Hokage Building was destroyed in this way.
He came to Iwagakure to make friends, not to demolish buildings.
"So, Lord Tsuchikage, are you the one to make friends with me first?" Naruto looked at Ōnoki and asked expectantly.
As soon as he came to Iwagakure, Naruto immediately felt that if he became friends with the ninjas of Iwagakure, the other party must be sincere, because the other party's size seemed to be able to last more than twenty minutes.
Especially the guard named Akatsuchi next to Ōnoki, good guy, he is totally resistant to beatings.
Hearing Naruto's question, Ōnoki shook his head. How could he compete with Naruto first? He wanted to be the last one to appear, and after Naruto's Chakra had been consumed, the outcome would be decided in one fell swoop.
Ever since, Ōnoki turned his head and motioned to Akatsuchi beside him.
Akatsuchi understood what Ōnoki meant, and immediately walked forward, came to the center, and said to Naruto, "Lord Hokage, let Akatsuchi learn from it first."
"That's fine." Naruto glanced at Ōnoki, then walked out and came to the opposite side of Akatsuchi, saying, "Akatsuchi, use all your skills, so that I can see your sincerity."
"Please rest assured, Lord Hokage, I will use all my strength." Akatsuchi said seriously.
Even if Naruto doesn't say anything, just because Naruto looked down upon Iwagakure's actions just now, Kurotsuchi will fight Naruto with all his strength for Iwagakure.
"Akatsuchi, it's up to you, hold on a little longer and consume more of his Chakra." Looking at the imminent battle, Ōnoki thought in his heart.
"Kakaka..."
Suddenly, just when the battle was about to begin, all Iwagakure's eyes were focused on Akatsuchi and Naruto. Everyone was holding their breath and concentrating, and there was no sound at all.
But what is the sudden sound of cracking melon seeds?
For a moment, all eyes were focused on Sasuke, Kurama, and Nagato who were eating melon seeds.
With everyone watching, Sasuke said he was not panicked at all. He even spread his palms and said to Ōnoki and others, "Do you want some?"
Ōnoki: (ω`)
Iwagakure Ninja: (ω`)
They finally understood that none of the Konoha ninjas were normal.
Looking away from the melon seed-eating trio, Ōnoki and Iwagakure Ninja turned their attention to the battlefield again.
they saw,
Akatsuchi rushed forward.
His body, as strong as an ox, rushed towards Naruto like a bison.
Unparalleled strange power.
It is the adjective of Akatsuchi.
With a body of more than two meters tall and super weight, the whole person looks scary. Although Naruto is very tall, he is only over 1.9 meters tall, which is not as scary as Akatsuchi looks.
This collision, it is estimated that even Naruto will have to spend a lot of effort to resolve the collision of Akatsuchi.
Akatsuchi finally rushed forward.
Akatsuchi was grabbed by Naruto's head with one hand.
The sudden result made Iwagakure Ninja and Ōnoki unacceptable. Why didn't Naruto even use Ninjutsu? With just one hand, he easily restrained Akatsuchi, leaving Akatsuchi unable to struggle.
"Bang bang bang..."
Twenty minutes later, Akatsuchi fell to the ground with fists all over his face, and his whole face was swollen into a big pig's head.
"Akatsuchi, very good. I have seen your sincerity. Now, we are friends." Naruto said with a smile.
"Woooooo, I'm so touched, Lord Hokage, we are finally friends." Akatsuchi burst into tears of gratitude, shook hands with Naruto, then limped one foot and silently returned to Ōnoki's side.
"Lord Tsuchikage, who will make friends with me next?"
Naruto's question immediately brought back Ōnoki and Iwagakure Ninja who were distracted. They all looked at Naruto in shock. The process of Naruto making friends just now shocked them.
They all looked at Akatsuchi with a bruised nose and face with pity, but the next second, they began to pity themselves in their hearts, because Akatsuchi's current fate is their future fate.
"Uh-huh, Kitsuchi, go ahead." Ōnoki came back to his senses and said to his son Kitsuchi.
Kitsuchi hesitated for a moment. To be honest, after seeing what happened to Akatsuchi, he didn't really want to be friends with Naruto, because it was too embarrassing. How can I meet people when I look like this?
However, his father is still the contemporary Tsuchikage's order, and Kitsuchi just cannot refuse.
In desperation, Kitsuchi came to Naruto and said anxiously, "Lord Hokage, you are just like my father, my father is Iwagakure Tsuchikage, and you are Hokage of Konoha. If you look at it further, I am your junior, so please show mercy to Lord Hokage."
In order not to end up like Akatsuchi, Kitsuchi was shameless and demoted himself a generation directly in front of Naruto, a twelve-year-old child.
"Well, I only contribute 10% of my strength, Kitsuchi, you should use your full strength." Naruto smiled.
Hearing Naruto's words, Kitsuchi was overjoyed. It seemed that his self-demotion was still useful. If Lord Hokage used 10% of his strength, at least he would not end up like Akatsuchi.
"Bang bang bang..."
Twenty minutes later, Kitsuchi lay on the ground, his whole face swollen, and two lines of tears of grievance flowed from the slits of his eyes. He asked, "Lord Hokage, didn't you say you only used 10% of your strength?"
Why, even though Naruto used 10% of his strength, he still ended up with Akatsuchi.
Naruto looked at Kitsuchi seriously, enthusiastically helped Kitsuchi up from the ground, and said, "Kitsuchi, I really tried my best. Okay, now I feel your sincerity. Now, we are friends."
Kitsuchi silently Earth Flow came to Akatsuchi's side.
Akatsuchi suddenly smiled.
"Why are you laughing?" Kitsuchi was a little angry. We are not all the same, so why are you laughing.
"I just suddenly felt a little happy." Akatsuchi explained.
"Grandpa, let me discuss with Lord Hokage." Kurotsuchi, the granddaughter of Ōnoki, actually volunteered at this moment.
"You?" Ōnoki looked at his granddaughter in disbelief. They all knew that when Naruto made friends, everyone became bruised and swollen. The men were fine, but it would not be good if a girl as beautiful as Kurotsuchi became like this.
"Grandpa, don't worry." Kurotsuchi insisted.
In fact, Kurotsuchi's idea is very simple, that is, Lord Hokage Naruto Uzumaki of Konoha is a boy after all. No matter what, boys will not treat a girl like this. This is why Kurotsuchi dares to take the initiative to ask for help.
So, Kurotsuchi, in a confident state, stood in front of Naruto and said loudly, "Please give me some advice from Lord Hokage."
"Yeah." Naruto nodded.
"Bang bang bang..."
When Kurotsuchi stood beside her father with a bruised and swollen face, Kurotsuchi knew deeply that she had made a wrong bet that day.
"Haha..." Kitsuchi smiled immediately when he saw his daughter.
"Father, are you still smiling?" Kurotsuchi felt ashamed and angry.
"I'm sorry, daughter, I just felt happy suddenly." Kitsuchi said, he probably understood Akatsuchi's mood at that time.
If only he had become like this, then Kitsuchi would feel like dying, but now, one after another will become like this, and Kitsuchi's whole person has become relaxed.
The world is still beautiful!
His granddaughter, his own son, and his own guards have all become bruised and swollen. Ōnoki's mentality has collapsed. You said that you, as a dignified Hokage of Konoha, just compete with each other. Why do you just stare at people's faces and beat them?
If this is the case, after today, their entire Iwagakure will turn into pig heads. How can they Iwagakure see people in Ninja World?
Ōnoki felt the deep malice and pain from Naruto.
Suddenly, Ōnoki remembered the words of the red-haired ninja in the wheelchair just now - "Ōnoki, you made a right choice."
Thinking of these words, Ōnoki suddenly felt a layer of cold sweat forming on his back.
He finally figured out why the red-haired ninja said those words to him... From the moment Naruto proposed to compete with the Iwagakure ninjas, and his attitude decided whether to fight immediately, the performance of those Konoha Ninja...
In addition, now, after three battles, Naruto easily subdued the top three Iwagakure without even using Ninjutsu.
If his choice at that time was to immediately attack Naruto and others, this would be a wrong choice. With Naruto's strength, he might really be able to withstand the entire Iwagakure attack.
It was after thinking about this that Ōnoki broke into a cold sweat.
Now it seems that today, the whole Iwagakure cannot escape the ending of making friends with Naruto.
That's all, it's just a bruise and a swollen face, and a loss of face. It's better than losing your life. After thinking about this, Ōnoki looked at the other Iwagakure Ninja who didn't fight, hoping that someone would stand up again and become friends with Naruto.
Suddenly, Fugai stood up.
Ōnoki's face suddenly glowed with a smile.
However, the next moment, the smile on Ōnoki's face solidified.
Because, Fugai said something.
"Please Lord Tsuchikage and Lord Hokage become friends!" Fugai's voice resounded throughout this space.
"Fugai, you..." Ōnoki looked at Fugai in disbelief.
"Please Lord Tsuchikage and Lord Hokage become friends!"
Fugai bowed and spoke loudly again.
The next second, all Iwagakure Ninja bowed and said loudly:
"Please Lord Tsuchikage and Lord Hokage become friends!"
Ōnoki's complexion changed drastically.
Asking the ancestors to die, do you have the momentum, hahaha...
Help catch insects.
