For a ninja who mainly relied on ninjutsu to make a living...
Losing an arm, even if it was the left rather than the dominant right, had an enormous impact on their strength.
On top of that, Ōnoki was already getting on in years.
Having lost his left arm, he could no longer maintain his former strength.
To put it bluntly...
Whether Ōnoki could still muster Kage-level strength was an open question.
And as for Iwagakure now...
Its two jinchūriki, Han and Roshi, had been "crippled."
Ōnoki had also been left disabled by Rasa.
The village no longer had any ninja who could be called a "pillar of support."
As for how miserable a great ninja village could become after losing its Kage-level fighting strength...
Wasn't neighboring Kumogakure proof enough?
Even if Iwagakure still had some talented ninja worth nurturing...
Given time, they might well become Kage-level experts.
But in the short term...
Iwagakure's overall influence was destined to decline!
How could Ōnoki not hate Rasa?
"The Fourth Kazekage? Why would he attack you?"
Tobirama Senju was puzzled.
What puzzled him most was not "why Rasa would do this."
It was "how Rasa dared to do this."
"Who knows!"
Ōnoki snorted and abruptly added,
"Maybe Sunagakure is colluding with the Akatsuki!
"Otherwise, how could there be such a coincidence!"
The remark sounded rather out of nowhere.
But there was still some logic to it.
If Uchiha Minamoto had not dealt with Rasa in time earlier...
The consequences would have been unimaginable.
If Rasa had been allowed to use [Magnet Release: Gold Dust] to restrain everyone in the Grand Conference Room at the Five Kage Summit...
Then Obito Uchiha's [Kamui: Fūma Shuriken] really might have wiped out everyone in the Five Kage Summit Building in one go!
Tobirama Senju frowned.
