Ōnoki's Choice!

Kitsuchi was tall and burly, built like a giant ape, yet he had somehow fathered a beautiful, sexy daughter. It had to be said that there was something rather bizarre about his family's genes.

Because of his huge build, even though Kitsuchi did not speak loudly, his voice still sounded deep and muffled.

"Because they're afraid of losing!!!"

Ōnoki's tightly furrowed brow relaxed. He sighed and said, "Sunagakure can't afford to lose now. In order to stabilize the village and put the Fourth Kazekage Rasa in power, they did not hesitate to start a war. But if they lose, they will face punishment from the Daimyo of the Land of Wind."

"Giving up immediate benefits may seem unwise, but in the long run, as long as they can win and make the Daimyo satisfied, it will all be worth it. The premise is that they can achieve victory. That is why Sunagakure chose to give up part of its benefits in exchange for us going to war against Konoha."

"If Sunagakure tries to defeat Konoha alone, their hopes are slim, especially with Uchiha Hiko holding the line. Once we agree to Sunagakure's proposal and declare war on Konoha, their chances of victory will continue to rise."

Kitsuchi nodded as if he understood. He got it—or, more accurately, he did not entirely get it. Fortunately, he did not need to use his brain. Whatever his father, Ōnoki, told him to do, he would do. There was no need to think too much or agonize over it.

He would simply hit wherever he was pointed.

"It hasn't been easy." Seeing Sunagakure sacrifice so much for its village, Ōnoki could not help but sigh. Fortunately, the Daimyo of the Land of Earth was not that foolish, or Iwagakure would not have had it
