Chapter 214: Chapter 214: What Bad Intentions Could an Uchiha Have?
The first ray of morning sunlight shone over Iwagakure Village, reflecting a somewhat gray light.
The village, surrounded by mountains and rocks, gave a feeling of strength and simplicity.
"Zzz~"
A sharp electric sound rang out, and the Iwagakure ninja on guard saw a purple streak of light rushing towards him almost instantly.
"Enemy attack!"
A desperate shout rang out, accompanied by the piercing alarm that echoed throughout Iwagakure.
With the alarm sounding, ordinary people, guided by ninjas, rushed to the shelters.
"Whoosh!"
Just when the guard ninja thought he was going to die, he realized the streak of light had passed by him.
At that moment, the guard ninja even smelled his hair burning.
"Drip~"
A drop of sweat fell from his chin to the ground, and it was then that the guard ninja realized he wasn't dead...
So fast...
On the roof of the Tsuchikage building, Oonoki, wearing the Tsuchikage hat, stood with his hands behind his back, silently watching the purple light circling around Iwagakure.
Is this the Uchiha Raijin who defeated Zhi with one sword in the Chunin exams? At this moment, Oonoki seemed to understand why Raikage died at the hands of Uchiha Raijin.
In a battle between ninjas who are good at Taijutsu, speed is the key factor that decides the outcome.
After circling Iwagakure Village two and a half times, Raijin appeared in mid-air at the gate of Iwagakure.
Standing on the Kusanagi Sword, he looked into the distance. The next moment, Raijin's eyes met Oonoki's in mid-air.
With a light laugh, Raijin said nothing and did nothing.
In a flash of lightning, he disappeared from Oonoki's sight.
What bad intentions could an Uchiha have?
He just wanted to wake up his friends in Iwagakure Village.
Watching Uchiha Raijin leave, Oonoki's mouth twitched slightly, and he disappeared from the top of the Tsuchikage building.
"This is provocation! This is a provocation against Iwagakure!"
In the Tsuchikage office, an advisor from Iwagakure Village shouted at Oonoki.
Oonoki crossed his hands, resting his chin, and looked at the advisor, who was old enough to be his grandfather, slightly lost in thought.
Watching the advisor's trembling mouth open and close in extreme anger, revealing a few decayed teeth, one couldn't help but worry if those few remaining teeth would suddenly fall out.
Letting the advisor vent his dissatisfaction at the young Tsuchikage.
As time passed, maybe because Oonoki didn't respond for a long time, or maybe because the advisor was tired of talking.
In any case, the Tsuchikage office temporarily quieted down.
"Konohagakure is showing off. They want to get more benefits from the negotiations."
It was only then that Oonoki slowly spoke.
"Nonsense! Impossible! They won't get a single thing from Iwagakure Village!"
The advisor, who had just sat down, immediately stood up again, angrily shouting and spitting.
Seeing this, Oonoki remained silent, letting the advisor roar.
It wasn't worth the time to argue with the advisor, as it would waste more time.
Finally, when the advisor's emotions calmed down, Oonoki continued.
"Then the war will continue."
"Then let it continue! Iwagakure never fears war!"
"We can't win."
This time, without waiting for the advisor to say more, Oonoki directly interrupted.
"As Tsuchikage! How can you be so lacking in confidence?!"
The advisor asked Oonoki in disbelief.
"Kumogakure has already failed, Kirigakure has also failed, next, Iwagakure will be Konohagakure's main target. Do you think Iwagakure has any chance of winning?"
Oonoki sighed and asked the advisor.
Hearing this, the advisor was stunned. Before he could say anything, Oonoki continued.
"Uchiha Raijin can appear in Iwagakure today, and tomorrow, he can be anywhere in the Land of Earth. Do you think the ninjas in the supply team can stop Uchiha Raijin?"
"So, is Iwagakure just going to admit defeat?! Since its establishment, Iwagakure has never admitted defeat!"
"No, this is not admitting defeat. This is called negotiating peace. If we keep fighting, that would be admitting defeat."
Oonoki smiled bitterly and shook his head. Negotiating peace now can still save some face for Iwagakure.
So now, we just wait for Konohagakure's response.
No matter what, let's see what Konohagakure's terms are first.
...
"Should I take a trip to Sunagakure?"
In Konohagakure's main camp, Raijin asked Senju Tobirama while eating breakfast.
To be honest, Raijin quite enjoyed this feeling.
The feeling of them wanting to kill him but being unable to do so was really... satisfying.
"No need. Although Sunagakure hasn't shown any intention of negotiating peace yet, as long as Iwagakure shows an attitude, Sunagakure will react shortly."
Senju Tobirama shook his head and said to Raijin.
"I think Sunagakure is probably considering whether to negotiate peace with Konohagakure before Iwagakure does."
Raijin smiled and said to Senju Tobirama.
"Oh? Why do you think that?"
Senju Tobirama asked Raijin with a smile.
This possibility does exist, but Senju Tobirama wanted to hear Raijin's opinion.
"Because negotiating peace now and negotiating peace after Iwagakure does are two different prices."
Raijin smiled and shook his head, saying to Senju Tobirama.
"How is that possible? If Konohagakure's demands are too high, Sunagakure might refuse to negotiate peace. Even if Iwagakure signs a ceasefire agreement with Konohagakure, they might break it."
Senju Tobirama rubbed his chin and said to Raijin.
"Indeed, so now it depends on whether Sunagakure will communicate with Iwagakure in advance."
Raijin nodded and said to Senju Tobirama.
If Sunagakure and Iwagakure form an alliance, it will be difficult to make a big profit from these two hidden villages.
"Yes... but the distance between Sunagakure and Iwagakure is not close..."
Senju Tobirama smiled and looked at Uchiha Raijin.
"So, I only give Iwagakure three days. If they can't respond in three days, we'll continue fighting."
