"Dad, your reaction speed was a little too slow, wasn't it?"
Kurotsuchi rolled her eyes at Kitsuchi helplessly.
"Hehe," Kitsuchi chuckled awkwardly and scratched his head.
"Kurotsuchi, do you want to avenge us?"
At that moment, Ōnoki turned to Kurotsuchi and asked.
Kurotsuchi nodded. "Wasn't it the people of Konoha Shinobi Village who killed you? And the main culprit is this Kanami right in front of us. I've already investigated everything."
Her gaze was fixed squarely on Kanami, her desire to kill him utterly undisguised.
Ōnoki frowned. After a long while, he sighed softly. "Kurotsuchi, let it go. We were the ones in the wrong. We were the invaders."
As he said that, he lowered his head in shame.
Kitsuchi did the same.

Ōnoki said earnestly.
Kurotsuchi lowered her head, lost in thought.
"So, I say we just go to war. I'll wipe out Iwagakure, and there won't be so much trouble. Don't worry, I'll exterminate every last one of you. I won't even spare the earthworms."

Hearing this, Ōnoki quickly turned around, bitterness spreading across his face. "I'll persuade Kurotsuchi. Please rest assured, Iwagakure will absolutely never become a threat to Konoha Shinobi Village."
That was what he truly believed.
After witnessing Kanami's strength, he had long known that Iwagakure could never win this
