Chapter 188 Are You Really Coming?
When the bodies of these daring Grass Ninjas who had "assassinated the daimyo" were sent back to the Land of Earth and the daimyo's mansion, the daimyo of the Land of Earth was so angry that he almost laughed.
"I have sent him money time and again to support him in launching wars, but now this is all he has to give me?"
The Iwagakure Anbu who came to deliver the goods half-knelt below, with their heads lowered, not daring to say anything.
In the end, the Daimyo of the Land of Earth just waved his hand wearily.
"Forget it, you guys just leave. It seems like I, as the daimyo, will have less and less control over the affairs of your ninja village from now on!"
Anyone could see that the daimyo's trust in Ōnoki had declined greatly at this point.
And this was also within Shiba Kiyokawa's calculations!
The relationship between the Daimyo of the Land of Earth and the Tsuchikage Ōnoki has always been the best among the five great countries.
The Fire Country's Daimyo is the richest and has no desires; the Lightning Country's Kage is too powerful, and the Daimyo doesn't like it very much; the Wind Country asks for money all the time, and the two sides are fed up with each other; the Water Country's Ninja Village is crazy, and the Daimyo is forced to hang up.
In comparison, only in the Land of Earth do the Daimyo and Kage have the most consistent goals and pursuits. They have cooperated with each other for many years and can be said to have a certain degree of mutual sympathy.
So much so that Ohnoki almost forgot that the daimyos of each country are all related by blood.
Moreover, compared to the Ninja World War, the daimyos have always been more concerned about their own positions.
They had cooperated well for many years, but unfortunately, this time, in handling the most critical task, Ohnoki finally disappointed the Daimyo of the Land of Earth.
This is also the reason why Shiba Kiyokawa had to find a poor excuse to let the Kusanagi kill the daimyo, and forced Oonoki to help him confirm the matter thoroughly.
Ohnoki cared so much about the Ninja World War and the rise of Iwagakure that he didn't even realize that his retreat had been cut off by Shiba Kiyokawa's sword without him noticing!
At this moment, he was even feeling smug about finally being willing to join the war again after receiving money from Akatsuki.
"Great! With the participation of Akatsuki, we will surely be able to inflict heavy damage on Konoha once again!
At that time, let the Akatsuki organization hold back the three ninjas, and we might have a chance to fight to the gate of Konoha Village!"
Ohnoki is excited about the future.
However, they never expected that within a few days, news would come that Konoha had retreated completely under the pressure of the Akatsuki organization.
There was not even any fighting between the two sides, and Konoha took the initiative to give up its original defense line and retreated to the heart of the Fire Country for defense.
This shattered Ohnoki's plan and made him furious.
"Why? For what?
Why did they fight back desperately when we attacked Konoha? Why did they retreat when the Akatsuki organization attacked them?
Where is their will of fire? Where is their determination to protect the village? Where is their pride as the number one ninja village? Bastards!! "
Ohnoki was so angry that he wanted to use the dust shield to evaporate something on the spot.
But the result has already happened, and Huangtu can only persuade.
"Dad, now that things have come to this, let's eat first."
"..."
At the same time, on the Konoha front, the three Konoha ninjas who had reunited after a long absence broke out into a quarrel.
"Why don't you retreat without resistance? If you retreat one more step, our enemies will reach the village gate!"
The person who asked the question impatiently was none other than Tsunade who had not appeared for a long time.
However, she still hasn't fully recovered from her hemophobia, and the help she can provide to the front line is very limited.
So even though she has the highest status, the power of command is not in her hands now.
Jiraiya sighed and tried to explain, "Tsunade, you don't know the leader of Akatsuki. That guy is very dangerous! Minato can't get out of bed yet, let's wait a little longer."
This is actually still the aftermath of the battle at Kannabi Bridge.
At that time, Shiba Kiyokawa scared Jiraiya away, causing Jiraiya to go from one extreme to another.
By now, Jiraiya's assessment of the Akatsuki organization's combat power had been completely raised, and he did not dare to confront them easily. This made Tsunade grit her teeth in anger!
She now hates Akatsuki very much.
The charm of journalism created by Shiba Kiyokawa shocked the entire ninja world and forced Sarutobi Hiruzen to abdicate early. The heroine was Tsunade.
Seeing that Jiraiya's persuasion failed, Tsunade had no choice but to turn her gaze to Orochimaru.
"Orochimaru, are you also afraid of the Akatsuki organization? They took Hiruko away, don't you plan to take revenge?!"
But to Tsunade's surprise, Orochimaru still lowered his head indifferently and said nothing.
There was no joy or sadness in his pair of vertical pupils, and no emotion could be seen.
After a long time, Orochimaru actually spoke.
"I also have my own battle zone to take charge of, so you two should make the decision on things here."
"Orochimaru, what do you mean by that? Are you leaving? At a time like this?!"
Now not only Tsunade was anxious, but even Jiraiya was anxious.
However, Orochimaru has been a determined ninja since he was young, and no one can persuade him.
"As for the intentions of the Akatsuki organization, I will confirm them for you before leaving."
After saying this, Orochimaru immediately turned around and left.
Jiraiya and Tsunade were left with confused looks on their faces.
"Orochimaru, how are you going to confirm this? Please explain clearly and don't leave!"
However, no one could stop Orochimaru.
Moreover, Tsunade and Jiraiya could never have imagined that the way Orochimaru helped them confirm their movements was to go directly and openly meet with the top leaders of the Akatsuki organization.
On this day, in the prosperous capital of the Land of Grass, Hokuroko stood there with an expression as if he had seen a ghost, staring stupidly at Orochimaru who was walking towards him side by side with Shiba Kiyokawa.
"Hey, long time no see, how are you, Biluohu."
Orochimaru didn't seem surprised at all. He continued to greet people with his signature faint smile on his face.
On the contrary, the local Beiluhu was like a cat whose tail was stepped on. He used the body-flash technique to retreat three or four meters and looked at the person in front of him with a vigilant face.
"Orochimaru? Why are you here?!
This is the Grass Kingdom... No, this is now a vassal territory of the Rain Kingdom!"
Orochimaru still had a fake smile on his face.
"Haha, didn't you invite me here? Why are you so surprised to see me?"
"I invited you?"
"Yes, didn't you write to me to ask for advice on cloning technology? This kind of sophisticated research cannot be taught through correspondence alone, so I had to come here in person."
After hearing what Orochimaru said, Higurashi still felt dazed, confused as to whether he was crazy or the world was crazy.
"I've written the letter, and you're really coming? Aren't you afraid of death?"
Then he looked at his immediate superior, Shiba Kiyokawa.
But I just saw the other person smiling at me and spreading his hands.
"Well? I told you to just write the letter, he'll definitely respond, right?"
Bei Liu called: "..."
The villain in Beiliuhu's heart wanted to flip the table and yell: Is this the problem I care about now? !
