The old devil Konoha wants to be a good person

"Let's see the reaction of Iwagakure Village first..."

Thinking like this, Ye Cang naturally had some thoughts of settling the matter, but continuing the war was still one of her options. How to make a decision depended on the development of the situation.

And what was the reaction of Iwagakure Village?

As the leader of Iwagakure, the Third Tsuchikage who has experienced countless storms and waves, Onoki's thinking is very simple, or in other words, just simple this time, that is...

"Blood debt must be paid with blood! I will go into battle personally!"

Few people can understand the pain of losing a child in old age. When he saw Huang Tu's body placed in front of him, Onoki only had one thing on his mind: how to kill his enemy as quickly as possible.

As the order to prepare for war was quickly conveyed, Iwagakure took action again. Ninjas gathered in large numbers. This time the number was at least five times that of the last time.

"Send a message to Xiao, saying that I am willing to pay double the price to hire them to kill those bastards in Loess. I want them not to escape!"

In the Tsuchikage's office, Onoki's eyes were red and he was panting heavily, like a wounded beast. Several Anbu opposite him were silent and ordered to leave one after another.

Even if his anger is about to burst into his chest, the old earth shadow can still maintain a certain sense of reason. None of the members of the Thieves Nation has a good fault. The tactics of a large number of people may be successful in destroying the country, but it may not be able to leave behind the murderer.

Therefore, using external forces is naturally a viable option.

"Lord Tsuchikage, according to some survivors' descriptions, Deidara was probably captured by Heisei Oden. Do you want to consider exchanging hostages?" Kari stood aside and said cautiously.

Ohnoki took a deep breath, and when his mood stabilized, he asked with an uncertain face: "Prisoner? Are you sure Deidara is not dead?"

I'm not sure, but... okay.

Kari read Ohnoki's hidden meaning from his reaction, which was that no matter what Deidara's current situation was, nothing could stop him from taking revenge. So what else could he say?

After leaving the room, Kari met Kurotsuchi at the corner. The girl's mood swings were as unstable as her grandfather's. A pair of eyeballs as dense as blood-colored cobwebs spoke volumes.

"Saito Raizo..."

Kurotsuchi, who viciously recited the name of the enemy who killed his father, was already thinking about torturing him in the most cruel way. Kari glanced at her, said nothing, and hurried past.

A more intense war is brewing. Although the Kingdom of Works has shown extremely strong top-level combat power, the gap in national power is still difficult to make up and is clear at a glance.

Faced with failure? Does Iwagakure have the courage to fight again? Loess's death must be paid for with blood. As long as Onoki is still in power for one day, this will not change at all.

Preparing military rations, purchasing ninja tools? Assembling troops... for this battle of revenge? Countless tasks were put on hold, the Iwa ninjas began to get busy, and all forces in the ninja world gradually received relevant intelligence.

The origin of the conflict, greed and plunder, hatred and war? The thing is very simple and easy to spread. The Kingdom of Work has surfaced, attracting the attention of many people, including Xiao.

"Da Guo's eating appearance is still as ugly as ever. He accidentally bit a rock and broke his front teeth. He was so angry that he wanted to avenge his shame, but he had no idea who his opponent was."

After reading the note in his hand, Payne pinched it and crushed it into pieces. He turned around and said to Konan expressionlessly: "If we, Akatsuki, don't accept this commission, just reply to the Tsuchikage."

Konan nodded, ready to respond to the Iwagakure envoy, but at this moment, Obito's voice sounded not far away: "Is such a rude rejection too arbitrary?"

Obito walked over slowly and said slowly:

"Since the war is still on this scale, it means that the blood owl does not want to expose his country to the sight of the Great Ninja Village, and this is very beneficial to us."

Konan paused and turned her gaze to the man in the shadow by the wall. Based on her understanding of this guy, he would definitely not miss any opportunity to weaken the Great Ninja Village.

Of course, including this time.

Payne glanced at Konan. Her brows were deeply furrowed and her expression was as cold as ever. Even if she didn't say anything about Madara's plan, she didn't agree with it in her heart.

"Mr. Madara, what do you mean?"

Turning back, Pain looked at Obito again.

Obito replied calmly: "With Akatsuki's behavior, he has never actively refused a commission. If we retreat without any reason, there will be no excuse for Iwagakure."

"Besides, the information that the Kingdom of Work is the base camp of the Blood Owl is currently only known to us, Xiao, and Xiao should not remain indifferent to both emotions and reasons."

"So?" Payne frowned slightly.

"It is necessary to send some people to participate, even if it is to fish in troubled waters, to observe the development of the situation secretly and further provoke conflicts between the two parties."

"It would be best if the Blood Owl can reveal his true power in order to protect the Kingdom of Work. In this case, there will inevitably be a ninja war, and Akatsuki can sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers and tigers."

Payne looked at the confident Obito. He couldn't see the other person's expression clearly through the mask, but at least he could tell that the other person didn't want to settle down.

"Your reason is a bit far-fetched, and..."

Payne paused and said attentively:

"This will make the blood owl misunderstand Akatsuki's position."

Obito said disapprovingly: "The Blood Owl didn't tell us about his connection with the Kingdom of Work, so this mission is just an ordinary commission for Akatsuki."

Finally, he added:

"Just like countless times before, it makes no difference."

Xiaonan couldn't help but said: "Pretending to be confused while pretending to understand? I don't think this is a good idea. We are not fools, and neither is the Blood Owl."

"Through the two lines of Yagyu and Uchiha Izumi, it is not difficult to deduce this information. Madara, I do not agree with Akatsuki getting involved in this muddy water."

Obito ignored Konan and just looked at Pain.

Payne closed his eyelids lightly, thought for a while, and said: "Mr. Madara, we both have a common goal. I also believe that your decision is carefully considered, but..."

Obito narrowed his eyes slightly and remained silent.

"No matter how many reasons we come up with, siding with Iwagakure and becoming the enemy of the Kingdom of Work will inevitably anger the blood owl and turn against that guy..." Payne shook his head and slowly came to the conclusion:

"It would have a devastating impact on the implementation of the plan."

Obito retorted: "With the current situation, the possibility of the blood lord giving up the country of work is very low. If he doesn't run away, he will definitely overturn the table and fight to the death with the five great ninja villages."

"If the situation really turns out to be like that, the Blood Owl will have lost his strongest mobility. The strongest man in the ninja world trapped in a corner is not worth our fear..."

"Because he put on chains and lost his freedom."

Payne still shook his head: "The risk is too high."

"In other words, you refused?"

Sensing that Obito's tone was a bit cold, Payne thought about it and replied: "Akatsuki can accept Iwagakure's request, but at the same time, Akatsuki should do something to express his position."

Xiaonan looked puzzled:

"Penn, what are you going to do?"
