As the elite of Hidden Cloud Village, Darui believes in strength and glory, and like Lord Raikage, defeats the enemy with dignity.
Even if he died in battle, it would be better than using such despicable means to threaten civilians.
However, now the boss Raikage is captured.
This is another problem Darui has to face.
After Ōnoki finished speaking, he looked at Darui.
"Hidden Cloud Village, do you agree with this plan?"
"This is the behavior of a coward."
Darui gritted his teeth, and the veins on his forehead were pulsing.
"If Lord Raikage knew that we used this method to save him, he would rather bite his tongue and commit suicide!"
"Then you let him die?"
"Darui! Wake up!"
"Glory? Integrity? In the face of destruction, these things are worthless!"
Ōnoki pointed with trembling fingers outside the tent.
"Look outside! Look at those frightened ninjas!"
"If we don't seize this last opportunity, tomorrow... no, maybe tonight, Hidden Cloud Village and Iwagakure will completely disappear from the Shinobi World map!"
"Do you want to be Hidden Cloud Village's sinner?"
When this big hat was put down, Darui's figure shook suddenly.
After a long silence.
Finally, Darui loosened his fist in frustration.
"I understand."
"For Lord Raikage... for Hidden Cloud Village..."
"I will do this evil guy."
Seeing Darui let go, Ōnoki and Mifune breathed a long sigh of relief.
As long as Hidden Cloud Village cooperates, this plan can be implemented.
"Now that you've decided, take action immediately."
Mifune regained his composure and quickly began deployment.
"We have lost the head-to-head confrontation. The only way out now is negotiation."
"Show weakness, you must show weakness."
Mifune looked at the two people and said in a deep voice:
"We must act as if we have been completely defeated and are willing to surrender unconditionally, to paralyze Uchiha Yao in exchange for a chance to see him."
"As long as we can sit at the negotiating table, as long as we can make Uchiha Yao have some scruples, we still have a chance to make a comeback... no, we have hope of survival."
"Who's going?"
Kitsuchi asked in a deep voice.
Facing the decisive Uchiha Yao, those who go to negotiate will most likely be sacrificed on the spot.
"I'll go."
Darui stood up without hesitation, with determination in his eyes.
"I am the guard of Lord Raikage and the acting commander of Hidden Cloud Village this time."
"It is my responsibility to rescue Lord Raikage."
"I'll go too."
Kitsuchi glanced at his father Ōnoki, and then said in a low voice.
"Iwagakure, there must be someone with enough weight here."
Ōnoki looked at his honest but reliable son, a trace of unbearability flashed in his eyes, but in the end it turned into a silent nod.
He is Tsuchikage, he can't take risks.
If the negotiations break down, he still needs to keep his old life and escape with the last fire of Iwagakure.
"Okay."
Mifune nodded.
"Then Your Excellency Darui and Excellency Kitsuchi will lead a few Jonin as the advance mission."
"Remember."
Mifune's eyes became extremely solemn.
"Keep your posture low. No matter what kind of humiliation you receive, you must endure it."
"Until... the moment we show our cards."
"The goal now is to delay as much time as possible!"
Half an hour later.
A team of more than a dozen people, holding white flags, left the Allied Forces camp and galloped away in the direction of Konoha.
The sky is still gloomy.
Darui and others soon approached the warning range of Konoha.
"Who?"
A sharp shout sounded immediately.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Several piercing sounds suddenly sounded.
Darui and Kitsuchi were shocked and almost instinctively took a defensive posture.
The first two figures were Hyuga Tokuma and Uchiha Shunichi.
"Hidden Cloud Village, and Iwagakure."
Uchiha Shunichi tilted his head slightly.
"Why bring this few people to die?"
Clang!
The short sword behind Uchiha Shunichi was half an inch out of its sheath, and a fierce murderous aura instantly locked onto Darui.
"If you take one more step forward, you will be killed without mercy."
Facing Uchiha Shunichi's naked contempt and threats, several Jonins of Hidden Cloud Village and Iwagakure were instantly angered.
"Asshole!"
"How dare a kid be so arrogant!"
A Iwagakure Jonin subconsciously wants Hand Seals.
"Stop!"
Kitsuchi roared angrily, threw his body suddenly in front of his subordinates, and slapped Jonin's hand down with a slap.
"Do you want to kill everyone?"
Kitsuchi stared with bull's eyes, his chest heaving violently.
This is already the warning range of Konoha.
Once they take action, let alone negotiation, the dozen of them will instantly be surrounded by a large number of Konoha ANBU lurking around!
What's more...
Kitsuchi glanced at Uchiha Shunichi on the tree with fear.
Just this guy Uchiha makes him feel extremely dangerous.
"Huh..."
Darui took a deep breath and suppressed the humiliation and anger in his heart.
He took a step forward, slowly put the Ninja Blade in his hand back into the sheath behind his back, raised his hands high, and showed the white flag in his hand.
"Don't get me wrong."
Darui Try to make your voice sound calm, even humble.
"We're not here to fight."
"On behalf of Allied Shinobi Forces, we are here to request peace talks from Konoha... to Hokage-sama."
"Peace talks?"
Uchiha Shunichi seems to have heard some big joke.
Jumped down from the tree trunk and landed lightly in front of Darui.
"A group of homeless dogs are worthy of talking about 'peace'?"
Uchiha Shunichi stretched out his finger and flicked the white flag held high by Darui contemptuously.
"What does this thing mean?"
"You..."
The Hidden Cloud Village ninja behind Darui was so angry that he could not wait to rush forward and fight this arrogant Uchiha.
But Darui blocked them.
endure.
Must endure.
For Lord Raikage.
"Please inform me."
Darui lowered his head, no longer looking at Uchiha Shunichi's irritating face, and spoke in a low voice.
"We come with sincerity."
"If Hokage-sama disappears, we will wait here."
"Sincerity?"
Uchiha Shunichi sneered and glanced around Darui and Kitsuchi.
"Okay."
Uchiha Shunichi turned his head and made a gesture to Hyuga Tokuma on the tree.
"Senior Tokuma, look at these wastes."
"If anyone dares to move..."
Uchiha Shunichi's eyes flashed red and his tone was solemn.
"Just kill him."
After saying that, Uchiha Shunichi's figure disappeared instantly.
Konoha Camp, the coach's camp.
In front of Uchiha Yao, Shikaku Nara was reporting on the post-war cleaning work.
"Hokage-sama."
A ANBU appeared quietly in the center of the camp, kneeling on one knee.
"News from the front."
"Hidden Cloud Village Darui and Iwagakure Kitsuchi led the delegation to seek a meeting outside the camp."
"He said... he is here for peace talks on behalf of Allied Forces."
"Peace talks?"
Shikaku Nara on the side was stunned for a moment, and then showed a strange smile.
"These guys react pretty quickly."
Shikaku looked at Uchiha Yao and asked respectfully:
"Hokage-sama, do you want to meet?"
"Or... just send it away?"
