Should we resist stubbornly, or witness an unprecedented prosperous age?"
"Your persistence, in my opinion, is nothing but a stumbling block to peace."
Uchiha Yao straightened up and waved his hand half-heartedly.
"Okay."
"I don't expect you two to make an immediate decision either."
"After all, this is a major event involving tens of thousands of lives."
"Go back."
Uchiha Yao issued an eviction order.
"Bring my words intact to Ōnoki, and that general Land of Iron."
"Two hours."
Uchiha Yao Hold up two fingers.
"I only give you two hours to think about it."
"After two hours, if I don't see the results I want to see."
Uchiha Yao paused, a cold light suddenly appeared in his eyes.
"Konoha's army will crush Allied Forces's camp."
"When the time comes, it won't just be as simple as disbanding the village."
"I will let the two names 'Hidden Cloud Village' and 'Iwagakure' completely turn into dust in the history books."
"Get lost."
After spitting out the last word, an invisible repulsion suddenly broke out.
Darui and Kitsuchi felt as if they were struck by lightning, their bodies flew out uncontrollably and rolled down outside the tent in embarrassment.
"Ahem..."
Darui climbed up with difficulty, his face was gray and gray, and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.
But he didn't bother to wipe it. He raised his head and glanced at the tent that looked like a devil's cave, his eyes full of horror.
"Let's go..."
Darui gritted his teeth and his voice was hoarse.
"Go back quickly!"
Allied Forces camp.
The entire camp was lifeless, and despair was spreading like a plague.
Within Main Tent.
Ōnoki clasped his hands behind his back, his face full of anxiety and uneasiness.
Mifune sat cross-legged on the ground, closing his eyes to rest, but his slightly trembling eyelids revealed his inner unrest.
Just then.
Wow!
The curtain was violently opened.
Darui and Kitsuchi staggered in.
"Back!"
Ōnoki was shocked and immediately rushed forward.
"How is it?"
"What do you say Uchiha Yao?"
Facing Ōnoki's barrage of questions, Kitsuchi opened his mouth, and finally lowered his head in pain.
Seeing this scene, Ōnoki's heart instantly sank to the bottom.
"What's going on?"
Ōnoki shouted sharply.
"Speak!!"
Darui sighed and told Ōnoki the truth.
"Infiltration Unit... The entire army was wiped out."
"What?"
Ōnoki stumbled and almost fell to the ground.
"Impossible! That's..."
"Nothing is impossible."
Darui laughed sadly.
"Konoha has already opened its network and is waiting for us."
"Our trump card, in the eyes of Uchiha Yao, is just a joke."
There was a long silence in the camp.
Everyone understands what this means.
The last bargaining chip is gone.
Now they are just fish on the chopping board, ready to be slaughtered by others.
"What about...Uchiha Yao's conditions?"
Mifune opened his eyes and asked in a dry voice.
Now that the trump card is gone, all we have to do is listen to what the other party will do.
Even if it means ceding land and paying compensation, as long as the inheritance can be preserved...
"Disband."
Kitsuchi said with difficulty.
"What?"
Ōnoki was stunned, thinking that he heard wrongly.
"Disband Hidden Cloud Village and Iwagakure."
Kitsuchi raised his head suddenly, his voice filled with grief and anger.
"Not only must the village be disbanded, but all ninjas must be merged into Konoha and accepted for reorganization!"
"From now on, Shinobi World will no longer have Five Great Nations!"
"Only...Land of Fire!"
Ōnoki let out a sharp roar and kicked over the table in front of him.
"This is too much!"
"He is trying to cut off our roots!!"
"Let us dissolve the village? Become a dog to Konoha?"
"Dream!!"
"Even if I die, I won't agree!!"
As an old antique who has experienced three Shinobi World wars, Iwagakure is Ōnoki's fate.
Letting him destroy the village with his own hands would be more uncomfortable than killing him.
"But... do we have a choice?"
Darui lowered his head and his voice sounded faintly.
"Uchiha Yao gave an ultimatum."
"Two hours."
"If you don't agree, Konoha will launch a general attack."
Ōnoki's roar stopped abruptly.
"Right..."
Darui seemed to remember something, took a deep breath, and looked at Ōnoki.
"One more thing."
"About Jinchuriki."
Ōnoki turned his head sharply.
"Uchiha Yao personally denied the arrest of Killer B and Han."
Darui said in a deep voice.
"He said that it was Uchiha Obito and Orochimaru who captured Jinchuriki!"
"What?"
Ōnoki and Mifune were shocked again.
"Uchiha Obito and Orochimaru?"
"That's right."
Darui nodded.
"Uchiha Yao said that they Konoha were also attacked by Impure World Reincarnation."
"All of this is the conspiracy of Uchiha Obito and Orochimaru."
"Damn!!"
Ōnoki cursed fiercely.
"These gutter rats!!"
But, after the scolding.
Ōnoki looked slumped again, as if he had aged ten years in an instant.
The camp fell silent again.
The feeling of despair was too strong to be resolved.
A long time.
Ōnoki slowly closed his eyes, and two lines of tears fell down.
"Withdraw."
The old voice revealed endless fatigue.
"Lord Tsuchikage?"
Kitsuchi looked at his father in shock.
"Withdraw?"
"Where to retreat?"
"Return to Land of Earth."
Ōnoki opened his eyes, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes.
"Even if it means hiding in the deep mountains and old forests, even if it means giving up the village's base."
"As long as people are still there, Iwagakure's will will never be destroyed."
"We can't be wiped out here."
"But Lord Raikage is still in their hands!!"
Darui stood up suddenly and stared at Ōnoki with red eyes.
"Are you going to run away?"
"Are you going to leave your allies alone?"
"This is not running away! This is keeping the fire!!"
Ōnoki was also angry, floated up, pointed at Darui's nose and cursed.
"You idiot!"
"What's the use of staying here?"
"Are you going to rush forward and die?"
"If you die, who will save Raikage? Who will rebuild Hidden Cloud Village?"
"I don't care!!"
Lightning Light exploded on Darui's body.
"Hidden Cloud Village is no coward who abandons his comrades!"
"If you want to run, just run!"
"Even if I die, I will take Lord Raikage back from Uchiha Yao!!"
"You!!"
Ōnoki was so angry that his beard trembled.
"Incomprehensible!!"
"Since you want to die, I won't stop you!!"
"Kitsuchi! Send the order! The entire army assembles! Prepare to break out and retreat!!"
"Yes!"
Kitsuchi gritted his teeth, turned around and rushed out.
Just then.
Buzz--!!
In the originally closed camp, the space suddenly became strangely distorted.
A dark Uzumaki appeared out of thin air.
"Who?"
Ōnoki and Darui reacted extremely quickly, instantly assuming a fighting stance and staring at the Uzumaki with vigilance.
