"Old man, why did you bring me here?"
Didaze was a little confused.
"Don't speak."
Ōnoki made a shushing gesture, then went to the grave at the very front.
"Master, if you are watching over me from heaven, I had no choice but to do this for the sake of Iwagakure's future..."
Ōnoki muttered something to the grave for a while, then proceeded to dig it up!
"Ah?"
Didaze watched in stunned silence.
"What are you 'ah'ing about? Hurry up and dig with me!"
Ōnoki looked at the clueless young man and spoke.
An old man and a young boy then began digging into the grave with shovels brought by Ōnoki.
The Anbu behind were also somewhat shocked, but they didn't dare to come out and stop it.
After all, this is the Tsuchikage's own teacher. The Tsuchikage is digging it himself, so why is he stopping him?
"Old man, why are we digging up the grave of the Second Tsuchikage?"
Didaze asked questions as he dug.
"Back then, my master taught me the Splitting Technique and the cultivation secrets of the Dustless Bewildering Cover Technique, but I just couldn't learn them."
Ōnoki gazed at the sky at a 45-degree angle, seemingly reminiscing about the past.
"So I placed these two training manuals beside my master, keeping only the most basic training methods, because I didn't believe anyone could learn these two incredibly difficult Ninjutsu."
"Besides, this is the safest place to put it; no one would suspect that I placed the cultivation secrets in my master's tomb."
Ōnoki smiled.
"Old man... you're ruthless!"
After holding back for a while, Didaze gave Ōnoki a thumbs up.
The old man and the young man quickly dug open the grave, and found a sealing scroll placed neatly above the coffin.
"I wonder if Kabuto saw this when he dug up Wu's tombstone?"
Didaze stared at the scroll on the coffin and began to let his mind wander.
"Master, please don't be offended. It's all for the sake of the younger generation of Iwagakure..."
As he muttered to himself, Ōnoki shoveled the soil back into the grave.
"You little brat, hurry up and shovel it too!"
Ōnoki, seeing Didaze staring blankly at the scroll, roared angrily.
An elderly person is digging a grave here, while young people next to them just stand there daydreaming? Is that respecting the elderly?
"Oh oh!"
Didaze was awakened by Ōnoki's angry shout, and he also picked up a shovel to level the soil. Soon the two of them restored the grave to its original state.
Meanwhile, those in the Anbu in the distance were completely dumbfounded.
"Just focus on your own cultivation. If there's anything you don't understand... never mind, I don't understand either. Don't ask me about it."
Ōnoki originally wanted to ask him if he didn't understand anything, since he had also studied these two Ninjutsu for a period of time.
But then I thought about Didaze's talent and decided it was better not to say anything, lest Didaze ask me questions I couldn't understand, which would be embarrassing.
"Don't worry! I'll definitely learn it before the war starts!"
Didaze was confident in himself, after all, he already knew pretty well why Ōnoki couldn't learn those two Ninjutsu.
It's probably because the control is too precise that Ōnoki has been unable to learn it.
Having mastered Dust Release, Ōnoki no longer wanted to spend too much time figuring out these two Ninjutsu; otherwise, he could have easily mastered them in a few years or even a decade.
But none of this mattered to Didaze.
"You little rascal, you never even think before you start bragging."
Ōnoki rolled his eyes, unimpressed by Didaze's words.
He had been studying for several years as the Tsuchikage and still couldn't learn it; it would be a miracle if Didaze could learn it before the war.
"My back hurts, I'm leaving."
Before Didaze could object, Ōnoki excused himself by saying he had a backache and left.
"Forget it, I don't have time to waste. I need to hurry up and learn these two new Ninjutsu."
Didaze was filled with a sense of urgency; the thought of another war making his blood boil.
Didaze went straight home and began to ponder the Dustless Bewildering Cover.
Compared to the Splitting Technique, the Dustless Bewildering Cover was far more helpful to him.
If he could become invisible, he wouldn't need to stay in the sky; he could just come down and then become invisible to catch the Clay Bomb.
It is highly accurate, and its advantage lies in its unpredictability.
"Let me see..."
Didaze unlocked the cultivation techniques of the Dustless Bewildering Cover.
Takigakure
" Kakuzu... you bastard..."
A man whose heart had been removed uttered his last few words before leaving this world forever.
Kakuzu was holding several hearts in his hand.
"My heart is fine, it's fully replenished. I'm leaving now."
Kakuzu snorted disdainfully, tossed aside the four Jonin's bodies, and vanished from Takigakure.
One of the four people he killed was even the leader of Takigakure.
However, Kakuzu was not worried at all. As long as he did not touch the Seven-Tails, the Five Great Nations would not care about these matters.
What does the death of a leader in Takigakure have to do with them?
Kakuzu casually took four of the best hearts and then left Takigakure, leaving the Takigakure devastated after his invasion.
Before Kakuzu, Kakuzu dragged the four corpses away. Although the bounty wasn't high, it was still a sum of money.
The people of Takigakure could only afford to use a cenotaph for their leader's tombstone.
"Let's tidy up and bury the leaders and the others in a cenotaph."
The people of Takigakure all looked dejected.
They didn't intend to do anything to Kakuzu; they knew they were simply no match for Kakuzu.
If we really try to annoy them, our village might become a target of their attacks.
The helpless Takigakure could only sigh and then begin building the tombstone.
Orochimaru also arrived at Takigakure, but this time he did Kakuzu Orochimaru.
Orochimaru found an ordinary Jonin on a mission outside Takigakure, killed him, and then took over his body.
It's worth mentioning that this Jonin is male.
"It's time to go back to Konoha."
Orochimaru licked his lips after taking over the new body.
Kumogakure
"You mean, you want to start a war with Iwagakure?"
The Third Raikage frowned as he looked down at the Kirigakure's Anbu.
Previously, when they went to Kirigakure, the village seemed indifferent, but now they're suddenly asking for cooperation; there must be something going on.
The Third Raikage was reckless, not stupid.
"What's the reason? Why didn't you respond when we contacted you before, but now you've suddenly agreed?"
Dodai, standing next to the Third Raikage, asked a question.
"To be honest, we were invaded by Iwagakure, and they even stole three of our Iwagakure Ninja Blade..."
The Kirigakure's Anbu sighed inwardly; he knew it wouldn't be so easy to fool them.
He had originally intended to avoid saying such things if possible, but judging from the situation, the Third Raikage probably wouldn't agree if he didn't.
After all, it was the Third Raikage who wanted to start a war and begged them before, but they refused. Now the tables have turned. But is the Third Raikage so easily fooled?
The Kirigakure's Anbu had no choice but to tell the truth in order to gain the Third Raikage's approval.
"Um..."
The Third Raikage let out a meaningful "hmm," then glanced at the Dodai, seemingly unintentionally.
"Why don't you go out and rest for a bit, and let us think about it?"
Dodai understood the Third Raikage's meaning and immediately addressed the Kirigakure's Anbu.
"We hope that Lord Raikage can cooperate with us. After all, we don't want to see another village as powerful as Konoha emerge."
After saying one last thing, the Kirigakure Anbu left the Raikage's Office and was led to the rest room by the Kumogakure Anbu.
