Grandpa Ōnoki Would Never Bow and Scrape Like This, Even Before Madara Uchiha!

"Dad, your reaction time is a bit too slow!"

Kurotsuchi Soil rolled its eyes at Kitsuchi helplessly.

"Hehe," Kitsuchi chuckled and scratched his head.

"Kurotsuchi, will you avenge us?"

At that moment, Ōnoki turned his head and looked at Kurotsuchi, asking a question.

Kurotsuchi nodded. "It was the people from Konoha Village who killed you, and the main culprit is this Kanami right here. I've already investigated and found out."

She stared intently at Kanami, her desire to kill him making no attempt to conceal it.

Ōnoki frowned, and after a long silence, he sighed softly, "Kurotsuchi, let it go. We are the ones who are at fault; we are the invaders."

At this point, he lowered his head in shame.

The same applies to Kitsuchi.

Kurotsuchi shook his head frantically, "No, I know, I know you were the ones who started the war, but even so! They still killed you!!"

"I understand your desire to avenge us, and I'm very touched. Having such a wonderful granddaughter like you..."

But you must understand, the fault lies with us. Why let the hatred continue? Even if you could defeat Konoha Village, would you have to exterminate them all?

Ōnoki spoke earnestly and patiently.

Kurotsuchi hung his head, lost in thought.

"So, if you ask me, let's just start a war. I'll wipe out your Iwagakure, and there won't be any more trouble. Don't worry, I'll exterminate them all, not even sparing the earthworms."

Kanami spoke lazily from behind the three of them.

Upon hearing this, Ōnoki quickly turned around, a bitter expression on his face. "I will persuade Kurotsuchi. Don't worry, Iwagakure will never become a threat to Konoha Village."

This is his true thought.

Having witnessed Kanami's strength, he already knew that Iwagakure had no chance of winning this war.

The Dust Release has been lost to time; how can we possibly win?

Even with Dust Release, he still couldn't win; he couldn't even get into the Konoha Gate.

"Quick, persuade me, I'm getting sleepy."

Kanami spoke casually.

Ōnoki nodded repeatedly. "Kurotsuchi, did you hear that? Let me just say it straight to you: if you still harbor hostility towards Konoha..."

Not only will you die, but you will also destroy my Iwagakure along with it!

The fact that Konoha didn't completely annihilate us when they had the advantage is already incredibly kind of them. If you still think about revenge, then you can wait to come to the Pure Land to find us!

Seeing that speaking in a normal tone had no effect, he directly adopted a fierce demeanor.

Kurotsuchi's heart skipped a beat; she knew very well that she didn't have any real strength.

Not to mention she could rival her grandfather, Ōnoki, she couldn't even compare to her father, Kitsuchi.

The only good thing is that she is still young and has a lot of room for growth.

But Kanami is the same age as her, yet she has already surpassed everyone else; it's not necessarily true that the latter has no room for growth.

After a long while, Kurotsuchi slowly loosened his clenched fists.

"I see."

She bit her lip and looked at Ōnoki and Kanami.

Upon hearing this, Ōnoki breathed a sigh of relief.

"Lord Feng An, I wonder if you can spare Iwagakure this time?"

"Alright, from now on, Iwagakure can just stay Kurotsuchi Iwagakure," Kanami looked at Kurotsuchi, who was biting her lip, "You can no longer listen to any of the Feudal Lord's words; you can only obey my orders."

"This is impossible! You want us, the Iwagakure, to be your dogs?"

Kurotsuchi flew into a rage.

Ōnoki's brows were also tightly furrowed.

"Your demands are a bit too high. You're taking away all our freedom. What's the difference between this and the village being wiped out?"

"That's already quite high. If it weren't for my mercy, Iwagakure would have been wiped out by now. At least you're still alive, and I generally won't ask you to do anything. Just live your lives well."

Kanami said calmly.

Upon hearing this, all three of them were shocked by the confidence revealed in Ōnoki Kanami's words.

But they had no way to refute it, because it was simply the truth.

However, Kanami revealed it without reservation.

"You can disagree, and I don't actually need your agreement at all."

Kanami pointed his left index finger to the sky.

The next second, a bright, Compressed Rasengan flew out!

"Boom!"

The ceiling of the Tsuchikage's Office shattered instantly.

A huge hole pierced through the ceiling.

But that wasn't all; Kanami opened his left hand.

The next second, a Rasengan over a hundred meters long appeared above the hole.

The light from the Rasengan instantly illuminated Iwagakure.

It was like a giant sun.

"You... no, we agree, we'll do anything, just please stay in Iwagakure..."

Ōnoki pleaded, his head bowed in mid-air.

The terrifying energy emanating from the Rasengan in the sky was clearly felt even without him looking up.

With Chakra fluctuation of that magnitude, destroying a village would be effortless.

"You? You won't even say 'you' in polite terms."

Kanami slightly pulled his left hand inward.

The Rasengan in mid-air instantly transformed into a Rasengan with a diameter of only fifty centimeters, which shot out towards the sturdy defensive line of Iwagakure in the distance.

"What's this?"

"A blue... shooting star?"

"Wait! He's heading towards our village!"

"Run!"

Some of the village's sleepless Ninja were drawn to the giant Rasengan.

Just as they realized that the "blue meteor" was about to fall towards their village, the Rasengan had already hit them in the face.

"Boom!!"

A loud bang was heard, and then those seemingly natural protective lines, layer upon layer of mountains, vanished!

It exploded instantly!

A vast area was completely pulverized and reduced to ashes by the attack of the Rasengan.

The surrounding areas of Iwagakure weren't much better off.

The aftershocks of the Rasengan were enough to blast all those Building away.

"You!"

Ōnoki suddenly raised his head, his eyes glaring angrily.

But he stopped abruptly after uttering only one word.

It was simply because he met Kanami's gaze.

His gaze was extremely cold; the way he looked at them didn't seem like he was looking at people at all.

"... Please stop doing this. Our Iwagakure is willing to surrender."

He abruptly changed his tone and begged for mercy.

Seeing Kurotsuchi, Kurotsuchi stared in disbelief at Ōnoki, who was lying prostrate in the air.

In her memory, her grandfather was never obsequious, not even when facing a formidable opponent.

But now she's prostrating herself before someone her own age!

This was completely unacceptable to her!

"Grandpa! He just attacked our village! We don't even know if there have been any casualties! How can we just let this go!"

"Shut up! Please, use your brain! If you had given in from the beginning, they wouldn't be dead!"

Ōnoki shouted anxiously.

Kurotsuchi's pupils suddenly trembled. "You... you're not Grandpa! Even Ōnoki wouldn't be so subservient to Madara Uchiha!"

Ōnoki's face flushed red as he growled, "Idiot! Even the Madara Uchiha you're talking about has to curry favor with Kanami!!"

"What?!" Kurotsuchi exclaimed, his face turning pale. "How is this possible?!"
