"But didn't the agreement say that room and board will be provided free of charge?"

Who knew you could eat so much?

Onoki, who was already considered to be of advanced age, couldn't help complaining about Ayane's appetite.

This little girl is really delicious.

Are you really not a ninja from the Akimichi clan?

"It seems that Huang Tu's suggestion of self-supply of food needs to be implemented as soon as possible."

If Ayane continues to eat and drink for free in Iwagakure like this, even if Iwagakure has a strong foundation, he, the Tsuchikage, will feel distressed.

"What do you want from me at this time?"

"Ahem, next we will conduct a trial attack on Yunyakure, and we need you to destroy Yunyakure's supply point."

Onoki coughed and got down to business with Ayane.

The last sneak attack on Kumogakure's supply point failed, but that was because they encountered the Kumogakure jounin headed by the Fourth Raikage, and had to make a strategic retreat.

Even Ayane did not dare to enter Kumogakure's encirclement at will. The third generation Raikage who was trapped in a tight encirclement and was still angry even until his death had already grown grass on his grave.

Therefore, in that case, Ayane chose to retreat and gave up destroying Kumogakure's supply point. Ohnoki didn't say anything. After all, the relationship between the two parties was just an employment relationship. He didn't think that a rebel ninja would really fight Kumogakure ninja for Iwagakure.

Work hard.

It's just a combination of interests.

"How long can you hold Kumogakure off?"

Ayane did not agree immediately, but the last time she went deep into the Kumogakure position, she had already raised the alertness of the Kumogakure ninjas. It was impossible for her to deal with thousands of Kumogakure ninjas by herself.

Furthermore, apart from the Fourth Raikage, there are also other powerful ninjas among Kumogakure.

For example, the Kumogakure jounin earth platform is a blood-succession limited melting ninja. It can create rubber walls and rubber balls with strong defensive power. Although it cannot completely block the impact of the divine air attack, it can block most of the impact of the divine air attack.

force.

With rich combat experience, he could judge the danger of her divine air attack at a glance, and instantly use appropriate ninjutsu to defend and protect everyone. This amazing insight into the battlefield was more troublesome than his melting ninjutsu.

"How about two hours?"

Ohnoki thought about it and gave this answer.

It's not that you can't delay for too long, but if you delay for too long, many Iwagakure ninjas will die, and the same goes for Kumogakure.

Ohnoki didn't want to exchange casualties with Kumogakure. He just wanted to get rid of Kumogakure as soon as possible, then turn around to deal with the Konoha ninjas of the Grass Country, and invade the Fire Country with Sunagakure.

His goal was never Kumogakure. If the Third Raikage hadn't bullied others too much, he wouldn't have wanted to provoke these barbarians from the Kingdom of Thunder.

In the ninja world, there is no ninja village that is as domineering as Kumogakure, specializing in sneaky things. After the incident is exposed, the victim will be beaten up.

How to get rid of these strength-advocating barbarians has always been a headache for Ohnoki.

To be honest, defeating Kumogakure from the front is naturally a good thing, but Iwagakure does not have this ability. Kumogakure's overall strength is higher than Iwagakure.

War is not something that can be decided by individual force.

On that day, in order to destroy the Third Raikage, thousands of ninjas were sacrificed at once. Ohnoki felt distressed when he thought about it.

"Two hours? You can give it a try."

Ayane nodded.

"Then it's up to you."

Onoki breathed a sigh of relief.

It's not that he wants to rely on these bounty hunters who make a living for money and doesn't care about their origins, but Iwagakure is extremely short of top ninja resources except for himself as a Tsuchikage.

The top ninja of Kumogakure is more or less. After the death of the third generation Raikage, the fourth generation Raikage was immediately elected to the position by the elders without experiencing any internal fighting.

And if he died, Onoki couldn't imagine what kind of chaos Iwagakure would be in.

"By the way, I heard that you have four tailed beasts and five tailed beasts in your hands. Why don't you send them to the battlefield to make up for the fighting power?"

Ayane asked.

"Tailed beast? That's a method that you will only use as a last resort."

Onoki shook his head and answered.

This is not true. He did not send out the tailed beast because his relationship with the two jinchūriki in the village was not well settled.

Needless to say, the fifth-tailed jinchuriki, Lao Zi, the fourth-tailed jinchuriki, has an old-fashioned and stubborn personality. She often had conflicts with him and tried to sneak out of the village several times. After he blocked him, the relationship became even more tense.

Of course, the tailed beast is such a top secret that it is impossible to explain too much to Ayane, nor to let outsiders know that he, the Tsuchikage, has actually lost control of the Jinchūriki.

Therefore, he used the excuse that the tailed beast had to participate in the battle to block Ayane.

After hearing this, Ayane did not continue to ask.

Accepting the mission assigned by Ohnoki, he left the Iwagakure position.

Seeing Ayane's fierce and powerful posture, with the monster-like strength hidden in that delicate body, Onoki's eyes showed jealousy and envy.

Konoha... is truly a cradle of geniuses with numerous talents.

For this young girl, in Iwagakure, apart from him, the earth shadow, probably no one can be her opponent.

According to Ayane, another Sharingan female ninja in the original White Fang team, Uchiha Ruri, was even more powerful than her.

When Onoki thought of this, he felt not only gloating about Konoha's misfortune, but also jealousy and envy.

If it weren't for Iwagakure's lack of talents, why would he rely on powerful bounty hunters in the underground black market to tarnish Iwagakure's reputation.

It is true that in the huge Iwagakure Village, there is no independent ninja who can take over his position.

Having no successor, compared to the Konoha and Kumogakure he had to face at the moment, was the biggest problem for him as a Tsuchikage.

On the battlefield on the coast, Kumogakure and Iwagakure began a new round of fighting.

The Fourth Raikage took the lead and transformed into blue lightning, directly smashing multiple layers of earth walls erected in front with his fists, causing a huge commotion.

"Dust Escape·The Technique of Original Realm Peeling!"

A huge beam of light shrouded down from the sky.

The Fourth Raikage used his lightning escape technique to easily dodge.

The white transparent light beam shines on the ground, disintegrating the land into air and disappearing from the ground.

"Boy Raikage, your lightning escape technique is a bit like that of your father, the third generation Raikage. Your father, I know, will probably be very pleased."

Onoki's body stagnated in mid-air and floated using ninjutsu such as lightening himself. He was one of the few ninjas in the ninja world who could fly freely in the sky.

Seeing the Fourth Raikage dodge his own Dust Escape Technique and show an appreciative smile as an elder cares for his younger ones, it was as if he was deliberately irritating the Fourth Raikage.

"Old bastard Tsuchikage, please return my father's body quickly if you are sensible!"

The fourth generation Raikage's whole body was filled with thunder and lightning, his hair stood upside down, his thunder and lightning feathers expanded even thicker, and lightning flashed in the air. He looked menacing and his face became extremely ferocious.

He roared angrily at Onoki who was standing still in the sky.

His father died in battle, and his body was desecrated by Iwagakure after his death. To him, this was something absolutely intolerable.

"Haha, you are just as impatient as your father. Whether you can take your father's body back depends on your ability. The weak have no say in this cruel world."

"You old bastard! I'm going to kill you!"

Just as the Fourth Raikage was about to rush forward, Dodai came to him and said to him:

"Please calm down, Raikage-sama. There is no point of leverage in the air, so it is easy to be hit by Dust Release. Once that technique hits, you will definitely die."

Tudai raised his head and looked at Onoki, showing fear.

"Kumogakure's earth platform? This is a troublesome guy."

Onoki frowned.

Then he looked into the distance, and it was almost time to take action over there.

◎

After clearing away several patrolling Kumogakure ninjas on the road, without the Fourth Raikage blocking the way, they headed towards the Kumogakure supply point in the hinterland of the island.

Although the patrol route was different from the previous one, in front of Byakugan, no matter what kind of patrol circle it was, it could be said that it was full of flaws.

"At this location, the sensing ninjas deployed at the supply point can almost sense it."

Ayane spoke to herself.

Sure enough, the Kumogakure ninjas in front made unreasonable movements and rushed toward him one after another.

Judging from the chakra reactions reflected back into the field of vision, although there are many jounin-level ninjas among these Kumogakure ninjas, there are not many ninjas who have the same amount of chakra as the tailed beasts like the Fourth Raikage.

Appear.

"The Fourth Raikage is confronting the Third Tsuchikage. The Jounin Tsuchidai will definitely follow him to protect the Fourth Raikage."

As long as these two troublesome ninjas are eliminated, even if they are besieged by thousands of ninjas, they can escape unscathed.
