Stop Fighting!

He was originally showing off that his Jinchūriki, had grown up and could stand on his own, but after you said that, he instantly lost interest.

"Lord Owl, cough cough, let's discuss the war outside." Ōnoki touched his forehead, somewhat helplessly.

What they said isn't wrong. One person blocked tens of thousands of people, killed three thousand in battle, and easily defeated two Jinchūriki. Compared to that, there's really nothing to compare.

"Currently, the 5,000 troops led by Yugito are stationed on the border. Today, about 1,000 of them were killed in battle, and 1,000 were wounded. There are at least 3,000 soldiers still capable of fighting." A provocative fire burned in Ōnoki's eyes.

Uchiha Kō glanced at him. He wasn't stupid; he was there to mediate the fight, not to stand up for Iwagakure.

"So, the other side has only sent one Jinchūriki and five thousand troops?" Uchiha Kō extracted the key information.

Ōnoki's heart skipped a beat. It seemed Uchiha Kō wasn't so easily fooled. He nodded and said, "Yes!"

"I remember Kitsuchi said before that he would pay Konoha 300 million ryo worth of materials if he could get Kumogakure its troops, right?" Uchiha Kō with a faint smile.

Ōnoki looked at Kitsuchi, his eye twitching. "I told you to use one tiger to devour another, and you end up getting yourself burned? Good heavens, 300 million was just to make them retreat."

Kitsuchi nodded helplessly. He hadn't expected Uchiha Kō to be so unreasonable. What was wrong with helping them fight against Kumogakure for 300 million taels of silver?

"Okay, I understand. Tomorrow I'll personally go to the battlefield to persuade the enemy to retreat." After saying that, he prepared to ask where there was a bed. He was a little sleepy and didn't act like an outsider at all.

Ōnoki gave Kitsuchi a wink, Kitsuchi understood. He then led him to the most luxurious guesthouse in Iwagakure and even asked him if he needed any special services.

Uchiha Kō glanced at him. Was this some kind of service? This was clearly just someone trying to take advantage of his bloodline limit! Did he think he'd fall for it? You're testing your officers with this? Which officer wouldn't withstand such a test?

So Uchiha Kō said righteously, "I'm sorry, I already have a family, and my wife doesn't allow me to have affairs outside."

Kitsuchi Tu's expression was strange. He sized up Uchiha Kō for a while, stared at him for a bit, clicked his tongue three times, and shook his head.

Enraged Uchiha Kō yelled, "Get out!" He then threw the Kitsuchi out, locked the door, and prepared to go to sleep.

Early the next morning

Uchiha Kō got up and pushed open the door. He had originally planned to have some breakfast, but the food here was really awful. It was mostly mushrooms, fried scorpions, and the like, which made him lose his appetite.

He couldn't help but wonder, "Dude, our Land of Earth has abundant mineral resources, surely we can't just eat this? How come we're so rich, why are we eating this stuff?"

He sighed, took out the venison that Manda had given him in Ryūchi Cave from his own Storage Scroll, and grilled a portion of it outside.

The sizzling sound of oil dripping from the grill made the passing villagers swallow hard; this guy was so handsome and knew how to grill meat.

Uchiha Kō skillfully brushed on the oil and added seasonings. Before long, the aroma filled the entire street. However, because of the Konoha Forehead Protector on his head, even though everyone was envious, they dared not approach to ask.

And so, amidst everyone's envy, Uchiha Kō ate a simple breakfast, said goodbye to the Tsuchikage, and headed to the front lines.

You wouldn't know until you went; what you found was shocking—the two sides had already started fighting.

On one side was the Iwagakure protection force led by Han, and on the other side was the Kumogakure invasion force led by Yugito. The Jinchūriki of both sides were tacitly restraining each other.

The ninjas below were also fighting each other.

Lightning Release: Earth Flow!

Earth Release ·Stone Spear

Lightning Release: Crackle

Earth Release: Whoosh Whoosh

The battlefield was fierce. Kitsuchi was following behind Uchiha Kō, and was about to make a move when Uchiha Kō stopped him.

He looked at Uchiha Kō with some confusion. Uchiha Kō gestured for him to look at him, then gathered his strength and said, "Stop! Stop fighting! Stop it now..."

Before he could finish speaking, a Shuriken flew towards him. "Shut up! Stop nagging!"

Uchiha Kō was taken aback. He noticed the man's Forehead Protector bore the mark of Kumogakure). He caught the Shuriken, then looked at Kitsuchi and pointed at the man. "He's talking about me?"

Uchiha Kō pointed to himself again, and Kitsuchi was both amused and exasperated. Then he saw Uchiha Kō's finger twitch.

Wood Release: Cutting Technique!

The man was impaled by a piece of wood that appeared out of nowhere. His eyes were wide open, and he couldn't move at all. The Iwagakure Ninja for a moment, and then he Shuriken to cut off the man's head and looked in this direction.

Upon seeing that it was Kitsuchi, the ninja quickly said, "Lord Kitsuchi, you've arrived!"

Kitsuchi Tu was about to reply with a smile when a bolt of lightning flashed, piercing his chest. Kitsuchi's pupils dilated in shock, followed by a furious outburst. "You bastard!"

Uchiha Kō looked at the man, but he didn't show much emotion; after all, he wasn't a ninja from their village.

However, this ninja is rather dark-skinned, and looks somewhat like the Fifth Raikage, Darui? No, he wasn't born in this era; he must be Darui's elder.

Seeing Kitsuchi's fury, the ninja shook his head. On the battlefield, no one is certain whether death will come in the next second, including him. So there's no need to invest too much emotion; otherwise, he'll only be agonizing over it.

But when he looked at Uchiha Kō, he frowned. This person seemed familiar and probably not someone to mess with. So he threw out a smoke bomb and left immediately.

Kitsuchi wanted to give chase, but Uchiha Kō grabbed him, saying, "Come back. If anything happens to you, I'm afraid that old man Ōnoki will be furious with me, and I won't get my money."

Kitsuchi was about to say something when he saw Uchiha Kō's eyes transform into the Wheel-shaped Six-Tomoe Mangekyō Sharingan, and a sense of oppressive power washed over him. He swallowed hard and said, "I understand!"

Then, Uchiha Kō nodded, and clapped his hands together, unleashing "Wood Release: Wood Human Technique".

Suddenly, the ground trembled violently, and then countless vines emerged from the cracked earth, coalescing into a giant. Everyone on the battlefield stopped fighting.

Uchiha Kō clapped his hands again, "Wood Release: Wood Dragon Technique!" The trees once again coalesced into a five-clawed Wood Dragon, circling around the Wood Golem and gazing down.

Yugito, the Tailed Beast within Han's body, Matatabi and Kokuō all froze simultaneously. They looked at Uchiha Kō, and fear suddenly rose in their hearts.

It was him! x2, the two were shocked.

"Now, can you stop and listen to me?" Uchiha Kō took out Gunbai from his system space, slung it behind his back, crossed his arms, and stared coldly at the two commanders below.

One is Kumogakure, the Two-Tails Jinchuriki from Yugito, and the other is Han Five-Tails Jinchūriki from Iwagakure.

The two stood there obediently, watching Uchiha Kō. Han even threw his Kunai and weapons on the ground, opened his mask, and smiled at Uchiha Kō.

"If you hit Yugito, you can't hit me, right Uchiha Kō!" Han said obsequiously.

Yugito's lips twitched as she looked at Han, while the Matatabi within her said, "How about we... how about we give in too..."
