Ōnoki looked at his subordinates Iwagakure Ninja in disbelief.
He never expected that his tactics would be broken by his teammates at this moment.
He stared at Fugai, not understanding why Fugai suddenly let him take action.
Fugai also raised his head to respond to Ōnoki's gaze. His eyes were clear and his heart was upright, and he did not show any intention to dodge.
Ōnoki instantly understood Fugai's thoughts.
Akatsuchi, Kitsuchi, and Kurotsuchi were all defeated in friendly competitions with Naruto. Akatsuchi and Kitsuchi's strength was the top of Iwagakure's, which can be said to be superior. However, they were still defeated by Naruto.
Let me ask, among the entire Iwagakure, who else can fight against Naruto again?
Iwagakure can't lose anymore, otherwise, Iwagakure's reputation will be lost in the entire Ninja World.
From then on, Iwagakure Ninja people didn't dare to raise their heads when they walked out of Iwagakure.
Solving this problem is actually very simple.
That is, there is someone at Iwagakure who can defeat Naruto in an upright manner and save the lost face.
Among the Iwagakure Ninja present, the only one who can possess such strength is their Lord Tsuchikage Ōnoki.
Naruto is Konoha Hokage, and Ōnoki is Iwagakure Tsuchikage. Logically speaking, their status is on the same level, so in terms of strength, there won't be much difference.
This has been carefully analyzed.
Or even worse, Hokage of Konoha is, after all, younger and has less combat experience than Ōnoki.
Therefore, if Ōnoki takes action against Naruto, there is hope of victory.
This is also the reason why Fugai stood up and asked Ōnoki to fight.
Other Iwagakure Ninja also thought of this, and then they all agreed with Fugai and made a request to Ōnoki.
Ōnoki After thinking about this, I felt very helpless.
Fugai's idea is indeed correct, but... seeing that Naruto easily defeated the three Akatsuchi with Taijutsu, Ōnoki now has no confidence against Naruto.
He is not willing to face Naruto now.
However, at this time, he was put on fire by Fugai and Iwagakure Ninja.
As the Tsuchikage target of Iwagakure, he cannot disappoint the ninja of Iwagakure, otherwise, he is not worthy of being the target of Tsuchikage.
"Okay, now, let me make friends with Lord Hokage." Ōnoki looked at Fugai and the others, then, his eyes fell on Naruto, and said suddenly.
Hearing Ōnoki agreed, Fugai and the other Iwagakure Ninja looked at each other with hope in their eyes. They felt that with their Lord Tsuchikage's strength, they could defeat the young Konoha Hokage.
Naruto was even more happy. He said excitedly, "Lord Tsuchikage, I have wanted to be friends with you for a long time."
Hearing Naruto's words, Ōnoki's mouth twitched. He felt that what Naruto really wanted to say was - "I've wanted to beat you up for a long time."
However, he agreed to have the so-called friendly discussion with Naruto at this moment, and he considered it very carefully in his heart. As Iwagakure, Tsuchikage, if he also ends up with a bruised face, then how can he manage Iwagakure in the future?
As Third Tsuchikage of Iwagakure, Ōnoki is confident. Under his leadership, Iwagakure is more powerful than the previous generation of Second Tsuchikage. His prestige is also the highest among all previous Tsuchikages.
With such prestige and such admiration, Ōnoki does not want to die under the fist of Naruto.
He observed Naruto's battle and after some deliberation, he decided that if he really couldn't defeat Naruto, then he would just fly away.
In this way, he can avoid being beaten to a black and blue face by Naruto.
He didn't believe it, Naruto could fly.
In the whole Ninja World, there are not many flying ninjas, but in Konoha Ninja, I have never heard of anyone who can fly.
Just because he figured this out, Ōnoki readily agreed to the request of Fugai and others. He ignored Naruto's words in his heart and said, "Lord Hokage, now, I will come and have a friendly discussion with you."
Having said that, Ōnoki came to the center and motioned to Naruto.
Naruto immediately smiled, came to the opposite side of Ōnoki, and said, "Lord Tsuchikage, let me see your sincerity."
"Earth Release·Rock Wall Technique."
Ōnoki attaches great importance to Naruto's strength. Therefore, as soon as Naruto finished speaking, Ōnoki's attack arrived. His right hand turned into a rock and swung at Naruto.
As an old man who has experienced battles for a long time, he will not say any polite words to give up a few moves. Only by striking first can the victory be easier.
Ōnoki's crispness also made Naruto nod.
Regarding Ōnoki's right hand wrapped in rock, Naruto also punched, and golden light burst out from his fist, brazenly colliding with Ōnoki's fist.
"Bang..."
A dull bang.
Two fists met.
Suddenly, Ōnoki's old face changed drastically. Although he overestimated the strength of Naruto, he still underestimated the strength of Naruto. When he met One Punch, who was bursting with golden light from Naruto, in an instant, Ōnoki saw the rocks on his fists collapsing.
Back away, punch.
Ōnoki is indeed Ōnoki. He is experienced and seasoned. He knows that he cannot confront Naruto head-on, so he immediately retreats.
"Want to leave."
Naruto chuckled, and with a flash of his body, he followed Ōnoki closely. No matter how Ōnoki retreated, Naruto's figure was always at a distance from Ōnoki One Punch.
The distance of One Punch shows that Naruto's fist can attack Ōnoki.
Looking at Ōnoki who was at a disadvantage with just one move, all the Iwagakure Ninjas felt their hearts pumping, not daring to get angry and looking at the battle circle attentively.
If Lord Tsuchikage is defeated by Naruto, then, from now on, Iwagakure's status will plummet.
One Punch.
Naruto typed One Punch again.
Ōnoki was horrified and hurriedly defended. After a fight, Ōnoki realized that he was no match for Naruto. Perhaps in Naruto's eyes, there was no difference between him and Akatsuchi, Kitsuchi and others.
Knowing in his heart that he was outmatched, Ōnoki jumped up and took off after dodging this move.
"Lord Hokage, if you want to be friends with me, then chase me first, Hehehe..." Ōnoki in the air looked at Naruto on the ground and said with a smile.
After saying that, Ōnoki turned into a stream of light and flew towards the east.
Iwagakure Ninja are all stunned. Lord Tsuchikage actually escaped?!
They looked at Naruto on the court and thought, Naruto should not be friends with their Lord Tsuchikage.
"Well, then, Lord Tsuchikage, you won't be disappointed." Naruto's confident voice sounded.
After hearing Naruto's words, the Iwagakure Ninjas looked at Naruto and thought: It seems that Hokage is very confident. Could it be that he can also fly?
Naruto looked at Ōnoki who turned into a small dot, chuckled lightly, and then took one step forward. In the eyes of Iwagakure Ninja, he was in mid-air with one step.
Taking another step, Naruto's figure disappeared into the air.
"This?" Iwagakure Ninja all opened their eyes.
Konoha's Hokage can also fly?
Ōnoki, who was flying in the air, had a smile on his face and said softly, "Huh, old age is still hot. In this case, at least I won't end up with a bruised nose and a swollen face. Otherwise, it will be embarrassing."
"Hey, why does there seem to be someone in front of me? No, it should be a bird in the sky."
Ōnoki was surprised, then relieved.
Ōnoki continued to fly forward, getting closer. Then, he saw the appearance of the 'bird' in front of him, and he was immediately horrified. This was not a bird, it was obviously a person.
It's Naruto Uzumaki.
With long golden hair, a Hokage robe, blue pupils, and a face that looks like a smile but not a smile, is it not Naruto, or who is it?
"He can also fly?" Ōnoki thought to himself, and then turned around immediately.
"Lord Tsuchikage, I've caught you, don't leave in a hurry." Naruto looked at Ōnoki who turned around and flew away, took one step forward, and stopped in front of Ōnoki.
Ōnoki brakes sharply.
Thirty minutes later.
"Why haven't Lord Tsuchikage and Lord Hokage come back yet? It's been so long." Iwagakure Ninja looked at the east and whispered.
"They're back." Suddenly, someone exclaimed.
For a moment, everyone looked up.
In the eastern sky, a black spot moved from far to near and turned into the shapes of Naruto and Ōnoki.
Naruto lifted Ōnoki, who had a bruised nose and face, down, put Ōnoki down, and said to the other Iwagakure Ninjas, "Lord Tsuchikage is now a good friend with me."
After hearing Naruto's words, Iwagakure Ninja were all dejected.
Their Lord Tsuchikage also failed.
Then I made a few friends, and it was getting dark. Ōnoki immediately asked me to come and make friends with them tomorrow.
Naruto agreed.
After that, Ōnoki arranged a place to live and sent someone to deliver a sumptuous dinner.
In Iwagakure time Tenten passed.
After more than ten days, all Iwagakure became Naruto's friends.
The day after becoming friends with the last Iwagakure Ninja, Naruto and Ōnoki said goodbye. Ōnoki was immediately overjoyed and did not try to persuade them to stay.
The past ten days or so have been very difficult for Ōnoki. Although all Iwagakure have now become Naruto's friends, they are already numb.
But what if Iwagakure is released?
No, Iwagakure Ninja is too embarrassed to go out now.
Ōnoki and Iwagakure Ninja sent Naruto and his party to the entrance of the village. Naruto said enthusiastically to Ōnoki: "Lord Tsuchikage, there is no need to send them off. My next stop is to Kumogakure, and I want to become friends with Kumogakure."
He also became friends with Kumogakure...Ōnoki was stunned for a moment when he heard Naruto's words, and then asked, "Did Lord Hokage also become friends with other Ninja Village along the way?"
Naruto nodded. "Yes, along the way, I have become friends with all the ninjas Land of Shadows, Land of Bears, Land of Demons, Land of Snow, and Hidden Sand. Next, I will become friends with all Ninja World."
"..."
Ōnoki was silent.
"Okay, Lord Tsuchikage, friends of Iwagakure, see you next time." After Naruto said that, he left Iwagakure with Sasuke and Nagato.
Looking at the backs of Naruto and his group, Ōnoki looked complicated for a moment.
"Father." Kitsuchi shouted.
"Kitsuchi, today, things may change." Ōnoki looked at Kitsuchi and suddenly sighed.
"Father, what are you talking about?" Kitsuchi was confused.
Ōnoki shook his head, but did not say anything clearly. Instead, he said, "Kitsuchi, send someone to investigate Naruto Uzumaki's experience along the way. The more detailed the better."
"Yes, father." Kitsuchi nodded.
"See you next time? What does this mean?" Ōnoki remembered Naruto's last words and fell into thinking.
Naruto left, not knowing that Ōnoki had thought so much. The group of them headed towards the final goal Land of Lightning.
Of course, when going to Land of Lightning, they must enter from Land of Grass, Land of Waterfalls, Land of Iron... and finally from Land of Moon to Land of Lightning.
There is no ninja country that he has passed through that has not become Naruto's friend.
Although the small countries do not have as many ninjas as the big countries like Five Great Nations, the number of small countries is more than that of Five Great Nations. Therefore, just these few small Ninja Villages who came along the way also cost Naruto and his party some time.
Cloud Hidden Ninja Village who came to Land of Lightning, Fourth Raikage, who also has the identity of Shadow Eye, Ai's step brother Killer B, and many Hidden Cloud ninjas received Naruto's group.
Raikage of Kumogakure is quite peculiar among the five Ninja Villages. Not only did they inherit the position of Raikage from father to son, but they even inherited their names.
From First to Ai who created Cloud Hidden Ninja Village, to the third generation, as long as he becomes Raikage, he will inherit the name Ai.
Raikage looked at Naruto and was extremely surprised. Unexpectedly, Naruto turned out to be Hokage of Konoha at such a young age. Naruto looked ordinary.
They are not as strong and good-looking as their Hidden Cloud men.
It would be difficult for an ordinary-looking man like Naruto to find a wife in Hidden Cloud.
Naruto and his party set out for Land of Lightning after breakfast at Land of Moon in order to have lunch at Land of Lightning.
After welcoming Naruto and introducing each other, Raikage arranged lunch for Naruto's group.
Great lunch.
Raikage has a hot temper, so he speaks loudly. After dinner, Naruto was about to tell Raikage the purpose of his visit, but Raikage beat him to it and said:
"Konoha's Hokage, now that you've had your fill, let's enjoy a show first." Raikage pointed at Killer B, "This is my adopted brother Killer B, who is the best at rapping. Why don't you let Killer B give Hokage an impromptu rap."
Killer B stood up immediately with excitement on his face. He loved rapping the most. He didn't expect that his brother would let him rap in front of Konoha's Hokage.
Since Raikage·Ai said so, Naruto, as a guest, could not refuse Hidden Cloud's kindness, so he nodded and said, "Okay."
Raikage glanced at Killer B encouragingly, and Killer B immediately came to the tatami in front of the dinner table.
"Then, I'll start."
Killer B's body swayed, his hands swung in front of his chest as if playing rhythm, his mouth pursed, and he began to rap impromptu.
"Na-na-na-"
"Hokage of Konoha;"
"My name is Killer B;"
"Welcome to be our guest Hidden Cloud;"
"When you're done eating and drinking, I'll sing a song for you."
"Rap is my attitude,"
"It's not a bondage."
"Like the path beneath your feet,"
"Even if it doesn't sound nice, don't feel like throwing up."
"Although I will be ignored by others when I embark on this path, I will always persist because this is the key to my dream, even if I grit my teeth with all my strength."
"The light above my head seems to bring me strength. Although some nights will be sad and the forgotten time, the hesitation experienced will turn into stubbornness and become my faith."
"Lord Hokage, brother, my rap is finished." Killer B gasped slightly.
"Okay." Raikage applauded, and the other Hidden Cloud also applauded helplessly.
"Not bad." Naruto nodded. He looked at Killer B. He was really a rap genius. If he hadn't rapped, he might have asked Killer B to join his Breeding Farm and sing to the pigs.
However, pigs are only suitable for listening to quiet and hypnotic songs. This kind of rap is not suitable.
After listening to the rap, Naruto felt that it was time to get into the purpose of this trip, so Naruto said to Raikage, "Raikage, I came here this time because I want to make friends with you all at Hidden Cloud."
