"I laugh at you for being stupid!"
"I still can't see the situation clearly!"
Ōnoki mocked unceremoniously.
"You Hidden Cloud Village have backbone!"
"What's the result!"
Ōnoki stared at Fourth Raikage.
"Your Hidden Cloud Village main force was defeated by Konoha!"
"Hidden Cloud Village's ninjas and villagers are now all prisoners of Konoha!"
Fourth Raikage was poked in a painful spot, his face instantly turned red, and he raised his fist, intending to hit Ōnoki.
"Shut up!"
"I'll kill you!"
Ōnoki did not dodge or avoid, but raised his head.
"Fight!"
"Besides shaking your fist, what else can you do!"
Ōnoki sneered again and again.
"Do you think being a shadow means leading the village to death?"
"Does a moment of bravery make you a hero?"
Ōnoki slapped his chest hard.
"I tell you, the responsibility of being a shadow is to keep the village alive!"
"As long as I can keep Iwagakure bloodline, I have this old face and these old bones, so what if I am reviled by everyone Shinobi World!"
"Shut up!"
Fourth Raikage roared angrily.
"Hidden Cloud Village There is no one who is greedy for life and afraid of death!"
"We would rather die standing than live on our knees!"
"Konoha wants to annex us?"
"Dream!"
"My Ai, even if you die, even if you die in this dungeon!"
"I will never treat Konoha or that Uchiha Yao as a dog!"
Fourth Raikage's eyes were bloodshot and he angrily scolded Ōnoki.
"If you want to be a dog, go ahead and be one!"
"I, Hidden Cloud Village, will never give in!"
Ōnoki turned around, with his back to Fourth Raikage, and let out a long sigh.
"Ai."
"You are still too young."
"I, Ōnoki, live to be almost eighty years old."
"Have personally experienced three Shinobi World wars."
"Do you know what the root of all this is?"
Fourth Raikage frowned and said nothing.
Ōnoki Ask and answer your own questions.
"It's Hashirama Senju."
Fourth Raikage was stunned for a moment.
"First Hokage? What does this have to do with him?"
Ōnoki said in a deep voice.
"Back then, Hashirama Senju and Uchiha Madara joined forces to pacify Warring States Era and established Konoha."
"At that time, Hashirama Senju was respectfully called God of Shinobi."
"With Hashirama Senju's strength at that time, he can completely sweep the entire Shinobi World with Uchiha Madara."
"Unify all countries and ninja villages."
"If Hashirama Senju had done that."
"Shinobi World, there is no such thing as Five Great Nations."
"There would be no such mess later."
Fourth Raikage frowned, very puzzled.
"But Hashirama Senju doesn't."
"Yes, he didn't."
Ōnoki let out a sarcastic sneer.
"Hashirama Senju is so naive."
"He thought that peace could be achieved through so-called mutual understanding."
"Nine Tailed Beasts, treat it as a gift and distribute it equally to each ninja village."
"Hashirama Senju wants to use this 'balance of power' to maintain the peace of Shinobi World."
"But Hashirama Senju simply doesn't understand that as long as there are national borders, as long as there are different villages, as long as resources are unequal!"
"The war will never stop!"
Ōnoki took out a breath and continued.
"What's the result?"
"Hashirama Senju is dead."
"First Shinobi World War breaks out immediately!"
"Hashirama Senju distributed to each village Tailed Beast, became weapons to fight each other on the battlefield!"
Ōnoki's breathing became rapid, and painful memories flashed in his eyes.
"Iwagakure young people died on the battlefield one after another."
"The whole Shinobi World has turned into a huge meat grinder."
"Then Second Shinobi World War."
"Third Shinobi World War."
"Three consecutive battles!"
"How many people died?"
"I've lost count."
"Hate is accumulated from generation to generation."
"You kill my father, I will kill your son."
"The blood debt is piling up and will never be repaid!"
Fourth Raikage fell silent.
Because Hidden Cloud Village is also a part of this bloody cycle.
Ōnoki took a deep breath.
Calm down the excitement.
"Now, do you understand?"
"Hashirama Senju's peace is false."
"As long as Five Great Villages exists, Shinobi World will never find peace."
"But, it's different now."
"The emergence of Uchiha Yao changed everything."
"He sees things more clearly than Hashirama Senju, and is more ruthless than Hashirama Senju."
"Annex Hidden Sand Village, capture Land of Wind!"
"Conquer Hidden Mist Village, take over Land of Water!"
"Now, I have defeated you Hidden Cloud Village again and captured Land of Lightning!"
"We, Iwagakure, will also be merged into Konoha!"
"The entire Shinobi World will be completely unified under the banner of Konoha!"
Ōnoki advised again.
"Ai."
"Shinobi World unification is the general trend."
"No one, no force, can stop Uchiha Yao."
"He is not destroying Shinobi World."
"He is ending this troubled world!"
"As long as everyone becomes a subject of Konoha."
"There will be no conflicts of interest between countries."
"There will be no more hatred and fighting between villages."
"That is true peace!"
"We, Iwagakure, were defeated."
"But the one we lost to was not Konoha."
"It's this new era."
Ōnoki looked at Fourth Raikage.
"Kitsuchi chose to surrender and saved Iwagakure's fire."
"In the new world in the future, people like Iwagakure will still be alive."
"It can still thrive."
"This is enough."
Ōnoki turned around, walked back to the haystack in the corner, and sat down cross-legged.
"Would you like to continue being your tough guy? It's up to you."
"But don't use your ridiculous self-esteem to kidnap the entire Kumogakure future."
"Don't be a dog to Uchiha Yao?"
Ōnoki closed his eyes and let out a sneer.
"In this new world."
"Even the qualification to be a dog must be fought for based on strength."
"You, just take care of yourself."
The open space in front of Hokage Building.
Dozens of Iwagakure executives were like ants on a hot pot, pacing back and forth.
With the appearance of Kitsuchi.
"Kitsuchi-sama!"
Everyone immediately gathered around him, their eyes filled with eagerness and fear.
"It's settled."
"Hokage-sama agrees to save his father's life."
Everyone's tense shoulders instantly slumped, and they breathed a long sigh of relief.
"But."
"Iwagakure number canceled and downgraded to Konoha Iwagakure Division."
"Within one month, the whole village will be moved to Konoha."
After a short silence.
An elderly senior executive wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
"It's good to move... to move."
"At least, my life was saved."
The other person nodded repeatedly.
"Hidden Cloud Village fought to the death and refused to surrender, resulting in heavy casualties."
"We are lucky to be able to survive with all our beards and tails intact!"
Kitsuchi feels mixed emotions.
However, my father is right.
In the face of absolute power, being alive is already the greatest gift.
