Chapter 293 Cloud Village Can Also Be Discussed
As early as the founding period of Ninja Village.
Onoki once accompanied his teacher, Mu, who was the previous Tsuchikage, to Konoha for diplomatic purposes.
It was during this diplomatic incident that they encountered Madara Uchiha, whose proposal for an alliance between Iwagakure and Konoha was rejected.
Then I witnessed the power unique to the Mangekyou Sharingan.
This incident left an indelible psychological scar on both him and his teacher.
However, even the terrifying Susanoo was eventually defeated by the Wood Release of the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju.
Now, Konoha has once again produced a ninja who may be comparable to the First Hokage.
He couldn't help but silently mourn in his heart.
Konoha truly lives up to its name. From the First Hokage onwards, in every era, Konoha has always produced a brilliant genius.
In contrast, consider Iwagakure.
He's almost eighty years old, yet he still carries the heavy burden of the village on his shoulders.
"Ah~"
Onoki sighed again, then suddenly noticed a red sheet of paper hidden inside the document.
He took it out and looked at it.
"A marriage alliance?"
He looked at it again carefully and gasped.
Konoha has actually formed marriage alliances with both Kirigakure and Sunagakure.
Moreover, one is the Water Shadow, and the other is the daughter of the Wind Shadow.
In addition, there's the power that Shirokumo Aoba possesses...
Onoki felt like he had figured something out.
His expression immediately became even more serious.
He read the intelligence report from Huangtu again and was speechless once more.
"That kid!"
Huang Tu repeatedly emphasized in his intelligence reports that Baiyun Qingye and Heitu had a close relationship.
The text also mentions the marriage alliance between the three villages.
Its purpose is also self-evident.
It seems he was terrified after seeing the wooden figure.
He did not mean to blame the loess.
Even he, as the father, was terrified of Madara Uchiha back then, let alone his son.
However, Onoki wouldn't be so frightened as to offer up his granddaughter to beg for peace.
Since Konoha has also captured people and tailed beasts from Kumogakure, the Fourth Raikage, with his volatile temper, definitely won't tolerate it.
Konoha's next target is most likely Kumogakure.
It's not too late to consider seeking peace after Konoha has finished fighting Kumogakure.
For Onoki, an old man who has lived for over seventy years, fame is no longer important.
As long as the village is alright, that's fine.
……
At this time, the Fourth Raikage, on whom Ohnoki had placed high hopes, was...
"Konoha is simultaneously forming marriage alliances with both Sunagakure and Kirigakure?!"
"Is this fake news?!"
The Fourth Raikage slammed his hand on the table, looking furious.
The Raikage Building is getting new desks again.
As the Fourth Raikage's right-hand man, Hii looked at the table broken in two without any change in expression, having long been used to it.
"Lord Raikage, Konoha has announced this to the entire ninja world."
"At this point, the engagement ceremony should already be taking place."
"hateful!"
Without the table hammer, the Fourth Raikage could only pound his own legs with force.
It's often said that the Fourth Raikage only knows how to act recklessly, but most of the time, his intelligence is quite up to par.
Most of the time, however, his super intelligence tells him that using his super muscles will solve the problem.
His real flaw is actually his temper.
Although he's not stupid, when he gets angry, he becomes brainless.
That's why the Fourth Raikage valued Mabui and Samui, who could remain calm and think things through no matter what happened.
He then realized the seriousness of the situation.
If they were facing Konoha alone, the Hidden Cloud Village would still be confident.
Although the enemy managed to control the two tailed beasts for a short time, the Cloud Village could do the same.
A mere 20 or 30-meter-tall wooden doll, if Killer Bee enters his full Tailed Beast form, his size could even exceed 40 or 50 meters.
It also completely overwhelms the One-Tailed and Two-Tailed beasts.
Therefore, Kumogakure is not afraid of Konoha.
But what if they had to face the siege of three major ninja villages at the same time?
With Iwagakure also watching them closely, the pressure on Kumogakure will be unimaginable.
Even if the Fourth Raikage was very confident, he simply didn't have the courage to fight four ninja villages at the same time.
The Fourth Raikage clenched his fists at the thought.
"Lord Raikage, how should we respond to the conditions Konoha previously offered?"
His question brought the Fourth Raikage back to his senses.
Konoha's condition was to exchange Yugito and the others for a huge sum of money and the Eight-Tails, otherwise they would join forces with Kirigakure and Sunagakure to launch a war against Kumogakure.
But everyone knows that the Eight-Tails' Jinchuriki is the Fourth Raikage's best brother.
Once a Jinchuriki loses their Tailed Beast, there is only one outcome.
dead!
The Fourth Raikage could not possibly sacrifice his own brother.
Even if the ninjas of Kumogakure have a good relationship, there are still degrees of closeness.
The Fourth Raikage gritted his teeth and said, "Tell Konoha that we can't give them the Eight-Tails, but we can increase the compensation amount, as well as some other resources!"
We can discuss with Kumogakure, and we can also form an alliance with Konoha.
hope hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "I'll reply right now, but if Konoha refuses to release them, or insists on starting a war, Raikage-sama..."
hope paused in his speech.
The Fourth Raikage's expression already gave him the answer.
The value of Yugito and the others can never be compared to that of the Eight-Tails.
I never imagined that there would come a day when the Hidden Cloud Village would choose to abandon its comrades.
"and many more!"
Just as Nozomi was about to leave, the Fourth Raikage called him back.
"Lord Raikage, is there anything else you require?"
"Send someone to find out Iwagakure's attitude first."
……
Let's turn our attention back to Konoha.
A corner outside the Hokage Building.
Kurenai cornered Ako against the wall, her gaze earnest and sharp.
That look immediately put Hongdou under immense pressure, and she couldn't help but swallow hard.
"Hong...why are you looking at me like that?"
Kurenai was still staring at her, but the sharpness in her eyes had lessened somewhat.
"Red Bean, tell me the truth, have you fallen for Aoba?"
"Huh? Huh!"
Hongdou blinked and then exclaimed in surprise.
A blush immediately spread across her round, collagen-rich face as she said shyly.
"Hong, what nonsense are you talking about?!"
Kurenai's expression remained unchanged.
“Red Bean, I know you quite well. Even if you're usually carefree, you wouldn't do something like that.”
"Do you dare say you have no feelings for Aoba?"
"This……"
Hongdou's eyes darted around for a moment, seeing that Yuhi Kurenai looked like she would keep stalling if she didn't say anything.
She pursed her lips, but still chose to be honest.
"Well, I wouldn't say I like it, but I feel like Maruko is a little sweeter when I'm with that guy."
"?"
Kurenai Yuhi looked completely bewildered.
This was the first time she had heard this explanation, and she didn't understand at all. "What does it mean?"
