Ōnoki's Determination

At that moment, Xue Zhantian finished listening to Gaara's mocking words and burst out laughing on the spot.

"Hahaha."

"Interesting, truly an interesting fellow. Haha, then can you tell me?"

“Do you think there is anyone else in the Shinobi World today who can stand as my enemy?”

Gaara looked at the wildly arrogant Xue Zhantian before him and burst out laughing.

"Hahaha."

Xue Zhantian looked at Gaara, who was still foolishly laughing, and warned him with a face full of murderous intent, “Do not test my patience.”

"You loser. As a loser, you should have the awareness of a loser, understand?"

Gaara said coldly, “Heh, want to know? I won't tell you.”

"Live on in fear. Until that day comes, live on in fear."

"Hahaha."

The Light Screen in the sky froze on Gaara, who was covered in blood.

With a firm gaze, he looked at Xue Zhantian before him without a shred of fear.

After watching these scenes of the future, everyone in the Shinobi World at that moment was left dumbfounded.

Kumogakure

Raikage A stared blankly for a long time before he finally regained his senses and muttered to himself, “That's the future me?”

“I actually went to beg Konoha?”

“I actually bowed my head to Konoha, how is this possible?”

"No!"

Raikage A roared in unwillingness, “I am Raikage A!”

“How could I possibly cry and beg Konoha? I don't believe it, I don't believe it.”

At that moment, the more Raikage A thought about it, the more furious he became. He pointed at the Light Screen in the sky and cursed angrily, “You deceived the old man, it was definitely you who deceived the old man.”

“I am going to declare to everyone in the Shinobi World that this damn thing appearing in the sky is fake.”

“I, Raikage A, will never bow my head to Konoha, absolutely impossible!”

At that moment, Huihui was in this blank space eating potato chips and drinking cola.

She leisurely compiled various videos of the future and then sighed with happiness.

"Sigh,"

"I am truly so happy."

"Now I finally get to eat so many snacks and have an infinite amount every day."

"There is also all kinds of delicious food, and so many, many couch-potato drinks."

Huihui's happy tears fell down her disobedient cheeks.

Huihui, who was eating so deliciously, was suddenly interrupted by a voice sent from the system.

"Host, host."

Huihui immediately came before the system to inquire, “What is it, my great system?”

Ding: "Detected that Raikage A is questioning whether the Light Screen is fake."

The system's cute and pouty loli voice came again: "Not only that, that hateful fellow even wants to tell people all over the world that the Light Screen is fake."

After listening to the system report the ins and outs of the matter, Huihui also stamped her feet in anger on the spot and said huffily, "Fine, you Raikage A, you're the one who likes to make trouble, huh?"

Huihui carefully put down the potato chips in her hand and said to the system, "Don't worry, my great system."

"I'll come right over to properly punish him."

The Light Screen in the sky

A line of text appeared

Detected that Raikage A of Kumogakure is questioning whether the future playing in the sky is fake.

This punishment will make Raikage A personally experience the pain of being injured while fighting Xue Zhantian in the future.

The video slowly showed Raikage A, who was still in the Raikage's office.

After hearing himself called out by the Light Screen, Raikage A felt very panicked.

Yet before Raikage A could recover from this panic,

he instantly perceived an incomparable pain washing over his body.

In the blink of an eye, Raikage A, who had just been completely unharmed, was now covered in blood.

In the Raikage's office, he held his head with both hands and kept rolling on the ground in agony and wailing.

Ah, ah, ah...

The people of the Shinobi World looked at the miserable state of Raikage A appearing on the Light Screen at that moment.

No one dared to question the ability of the Light Screen ever again.

A line of words appeared on the Light Screen once again

"Since this is Raikage A's first time and a first offense, it is just a small punishment."

"Raikage A has now been punished by being made to experience the pain of the future."

"If there is a next time, he will be wiped out on the spot."

"Once again, I declare that this is intelligence I exchanged at the cost of an extremely huge price."

"I paid such a huge price to let you see the tragedy of the future."

"Some people actually have no sense of gratitude, and instead want to oppose me at every turn."

"If there is a next time, no matter who it is, they will be wiped out on the spot."

After warning everyone, Huihui began her work again.

Konoha

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at the Anbu Ninja beside him and instructed in a serious tone, "Immediately have the Anbu pass down the notice."

"Record everything the Light Screen just said word for word and spread it."

"Do not let those ignorant civilians plunge the village into eternal damnation."

The Anbu Ninja kneeling behind Hiruzen Sarutobi responded forcefully, "As you command, Third Hokage-sama."

With a swish...

The Anbu Ninja directly jumped out of the window.

After the Anbu Ninja left, Hiruzen Sarutobi muttered to himself, "Tsunade, did you end up coming back in the end after all?"

"Sigh."

"The enemies of the future really are growing stronger one after another."

Hiruzen Sarutobi said with incomparable desolation at that moment, "It seems this old bone of mine is no longer of any use."

Iwagakure

After watching the shocking scenes of the future and those external enemies,

"Is every single one of them actually powerful to such a degree?"

He recalled once more the scene of the Four Kage's defeat.

Ōnoki remained silent in the Tsuchikage's office for a long time.

In the end, Ōnoki seemed to have thoroughly figured things out and made a complete and resolute decision.

Suddenly...

Kurotsuchi and Kitsuchi both arrived at the Tsuchikage's office.

The sound suddenly came from Ōnoki, who was floating in mid-air.

Ōnoki turned his head and saw that the newcomers were his well-behaved granddaughter and that foolish son.

Kurotsuchi asked with concern, "Grandpa, it's really great that you're okay."

Ōnoki dotingly patted Kurotsuchi's head and replied, "It's still my well-behaved granddaughter who cares. How could your grandpa possibly be okay?"

"Hahaha."

Kitsuchi, standing to the side, spoke cautiously, "Dad, I saw that the future us seemed to have all allied with Konoha."

This time, Ōnoki did not scold his foolish son, but instead asked with a solemn expression, "Kitsuchi, then how do you think we should choose today?"

At that moment, Kurotsuchi looked at the heavy atmosphere and also sensibly stayed quiet to the side, obediently listening to the conversation between her grandpa and dad.

Kitsuchi answered seriously, "Dad, based on the future broadcasts, these enemies will not arrive too far in the future."

"Judging from the angles broadcast in the sky, the enemies should arrive in the Shinobi World a dozen or so years from now."

Ōnoki calmly replied, "Oh, then how long do you think the enemies will take to arrive in the Shinobi World this time?"

Kitsuchi thought for a moment before earnestly responding, "Dad, I believe this time it absolutely cannot be a dozen or so years from now."

"I think at most ten years, and those enemies will definitely arrive in the Shinobi World."

"It's even possible they might arrive even earlier. This is one of my guesses."

"Furthermore, Dad, whether it is those one hundred thousand Black Armor Cavalry, or that powerful Mysterious Masked Man in Black from the future,"

"As well as enemies like Uchiha An and that Naruto Uzumaki,"

"None of them are opponents we can contend against."

Kitsuchi looked at Ōnoki with a steadfast gaze and said, "Dad, the time left for us to choose is getting less and less."

At that moment, Ōnoki deeply approved of his foolish son in his heart.

Ōnoki said with gratification, "Kitsuchi, take some guards and Kurotsuchi to Konoha."

Kitsuchi also understood his own dad's meaning: to join Konoha first, and then assist Konoha in ruling the Shinobi World together.
