Ōnoki's question made Kitsuchi's body tremble suddenly.
He lowered his head, not daring to look into Ōnoki's eyes.
In the cell, Fourth Raikage also stopped smashing the wall, turned his head, and stared at Kitsuchi.
He also wants to know what happened to Iwagakure.
"Father..."
Kitsuchi's voice is extremely hoarse.
"I... I surrendered with Iwagakure."
As soon as this sentence came out.
Fourth Raikage let out a scoff.
"Coward."
Fourth Raikage spit.
"Iwagakure men are all soft balls without balls!"
"I don't even dare to fight, so I just kneel down and be Konoha's dog!"
Fourth Raikage pointed at Kitsuchi and cursed.
"Ōnoki, look at the good son you taught!"
"Iwagakure's face has been completely embarrassed by him!"
Ōnoki ignored Fourth Raikage's taunt.
Look straight at Kitsuchi.
"What are the conditions for Konoha?"
Ōnoki's tone was calm, and no emotion or anger could be heard.
Kitsuchi raised his head suddenly, tears finally bursting out of his eyes.
Plop.
He knelt heavily on his knees.
"Father... I am a coward!"
"I ruined Iwagakure's foundation!"
Kitsuchi burst into tears. The tall man was crying like a child.
"Uchiha Yao ordered."
"Cancel the number of Iwagakure."
"Iwagakure downgraded to Konoha Iwagakure Division."
"Within one month, the entire village will be relocated to the outskirts of Konoha."
Kitsuchi knocks his head to the ground every time he says a word.
"I sold Iwagakure!"
"I'm sorry Tsuchikage!"
"I'm sorry for the ancestors of Iwagakure!"
Kitsuchi cried, his voice was shrill.
Fourth Raikage took a deep breath when he heard these conditions.
Cancel number.
The entire village was relocated.
This is to completely erase all traces of Iwagakure's existence!
Fourth Raikage looked at Ōnoki.
He thought that this stubborn old man would be so angry that he would vomit blood when he heard these conditions, and even curse Kitsuchi on the spot as an unfilial descendant.
However.
Ōnoki's reaction was beyond Raikage's expectations.
After listening to Kitsuchi's cry.
Ōnoki took a long sigh.
The skinny hand gently fell on Kitsuchi's shoulder.
Kitsuchi trembled, raised his head, and looked at Ōnoki with tears on his face.
"Father..."
Ōnoki looked at Kitsuchi.
There was no anger on his face, but a hint of relief.
"Kitsuchi."
"You did the right thing."
Kitsuchi was stunned.
Fourth Raikage was also stunned.
"Ōnoki! Are you stupid?"
Fourth Raikage pointed at Ōnoki and cursed.
"He sold you Iwagakure! And you still say he did the right thing?"
Ōnoki turned his head and glanced at Fourth Raikage coldly.
"Brainless fool, you know nothing."
"Kitsuchi, raise your head."
Kitsuchi straightened up, but still kneeled on the ground.
Ōnoki looked at Kitsuchi and said in a deep voice.
"Is it Iwagakure's backbone to fight to the death?"
"Do you think that taking the whole village to die is worthy of the Tsuchikage of all generations?"
Ōnoki shook his head.
"No."
"That's stupid."
"Look at what happened to Hidden Cloud Village."
"The entire Hidden Cloud Village village fought tooth and nail to resist. In the end, they suffered heavy casualties and became completely prisoners of Konoha."
Ōnoki's eyes became profound.
"Konoha hit Hidden Cloud Village first."
"Hidden Cloud Village took the lead and blocked the disaster for us Iwagakure."
"I just heard you talk about the situation on the battlefield, and I felt relieved."
Ōnoki patted Kitsuchi on the shoulder.
"If the strength gap between the two sides is not big, I will support you to resist to the end with Iwagakure!"
"However, facing the resurrected Hashirama Senju, coupled with the even more terrifying Uchiha Yao."
"What's the point of resistance?"
"In the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy and any stubborn resistance are just a futile struggle."
Ōnoki sighed.
"If we Iwagakure fight to the death like Hidden Cloud Village."
"The results will not change."
"It will only make more Iwagakure ninjas die in vain."
"Let there be more orphans and widows in the village."
Ōnoki looked into Kitsuchi's eyes.
"You saved Iwagakure's fire."
"What's the point of canceling your number?"
"What is relocation?"
"As long as people are still there, Iwagakure bloodline will not be broken."
Heard Ōnoki's words.
Kitsuchi The fear, guilt, and humiliation accumulated in my heart were completely released at this moment.
He rushed forward suddenly, hugged Ōnoki's legs with both hands, and cried loudly.
"Father!"
After a long time, Ōnoki finally calmed down Kitsuchi.
Kitsuchi stood up slowly and remembered something.
"By the way, Uchiha Yao also said..."
"Let you serve as Konoha Iwagakure Division's consultant in the future."
"Hang a job and spend your remaining years peacefully."
Ōnoki was stunned when he heard this.
Then, he showed a self-deprecating wry smile.
"Advisor?"
Ōnoki shook his head.
"Uchiha Yao, this kid is really impeccable in his work."
"But, that's fine."
"Since Iwagakure has been merged into Konoha, there is no need for me, Tsuchikage, to exist."
"As a consultant, just be a consultant."
Ōnoki's eyes became clear.
"Kitsuchi, go back and tell the people in the village."
"Pack your bags and prepare to move."
"Don't have any complaints, let alone try to resist."
"After arriving at Konoha, stay safe."
"Stay alive."
"More important than anything else."
Kitsuchi nodded heavily.
"I understand, Father."
Kitsuchi took a deep look at Ōnoki.
Then, he turned around and followed ANBU out of the dungeon.
The iron door closed again.
Darkness and silence returned to the cell.
A long time passed.
"Bah!"
A loud spitting sound broke the calm.
Fourth Raikage stared at Ōnoki sitting cross-legged in the corner.
On his thick neck, veins popped out.
"Cartilage!"
Fourth Raikage cursed through gritted teeth.
"Ōnoki, you really go back as you get older!"
"The dignified Third Tsuchikage actually instigated his son to beg for mercy from Konoha!"
"Are all of you Iwagakure men dead?"
"I didn't even dare to resist, so I just knelt at the feet of Uchiha Yao and acted like a dog!"
Fourth Raikage's chest was rising and falling violently, and he was breathing heavily.
"I'm really ashamed of you!"
"We Kumogakure, even if we fight to the last man, even if the whole army is wiped out, we will never bow to Konoha!"
"Uchiha Yao wants me to give in?"
"Dream!"
"Even if I die in this dark dungeon, I will never let him be his dog!"
Fourth Raikage's roar echoed back and forth in the cell.
Ōnoki sat cross-legged on the weeds, motionless.
When Fourth Raikage was tired of scolding, Ōnoki let out a sneer.
"Haha."
The laughter was full of disdain and ridicule.
"What are you laughing at!"
Fourth Raikage glared at Ōnoki.
"How dare you, a coward who sells his village for glory, have the right to laugh!"
Ōnoki put his hands on his knees, stood up slowly, and looked directly at Fourth Raikage.
