After taking over the snake uncle's foundation, Sasuke came to surrender on his own initiative.

With the help of the "Light and Heavy Rock Technique", Huoguang left his teammates behind and flew quickly back to the Iwagakure Ninja Village.

At this moment, inside the Tsuchikage Building.

Tsuchikage office.

The Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki looked a little tired. He had just finished a day's work, but he heard about the destruction of Takigakure from his subordinate Huoguang.

Although he had a strong and tough character, the trance and fatigue on his face could no longer be concealed.

He was too lazy to maintain his authority as a Tsuchikage in front of his trusted subordinates.

Dodai, the top elite jonin of the Hidden Cloud Village, took action personally, but not only did he fail to scare off the Sound Ninja, he was defeated in the end, and he even failed to escape, and was killed by the leader of the Sound Ninja Village.

Such a result is undoubtedly a devastating blow to the current reputation of the Hidden Cloud Village. It is also a great mockery and humiliation to the Hidden Cloud Village's image as a domineering overlord that no one dares to mess with.

For Ohnoki, who had a deep hatred for the Yeyue clan, seeing his young rival being defeated was actually a good thing.

But he couldn't be happy.

"Ah..." Ohnoki sighed deeply, and his already short body shrank back on the chair, looking even thinner and more desolate. He closed his eyes and gently rubbed his stiff brows. "So what do other ninja villages think about this? What actions will that little guy Yeyue Ai take next?"

He couldn't help but fall into deep thought. "What about Konoha? After the new Hokage takes office, will it retaliate against the Sound Village... or... continue to display its usual steady style and choose to join forces with Kumogakure to launch a devastating attack on the Sound Village from the south and the north?"

Anyway, if Ohnoki was the Fifth Hokage of Konoha, he would definitely choose the latter decision.

As a Kage, strength is of course important, but a keen political sense and the vision to be at the forefront of the ninja world are equally indispensable, or even more important.

This concerns the changes in the pattern of the ninja world, and how Iwagakure can not only avoid disaster but also obtain considerable benefits and advantages in the next war that is bound to break out in the ninja world.

These are all things that Ōnoki needs to consider as the Tsuchikage.

"Father, the Fourth Raikage is just too conceited. He has spent his entire life pursuing the hegemony of the Kumogakure in the ninja world. Although the loss of General Tsuchidai this time was his own fault, the Sound Village is not far from the Land of Earth. If we watch it develop and do nothing, it will be a threat to our Iwagakure. I think we should take action!"

Huang Tu said the last sentence in a very decisive tone.

Hearing this, Ōnoki woke up from his reverie.

He slowly raised his head, his frowning brows revealing deep wrinkles on his face and a slightly cold look, all of which showed that the Third Tsuchikage, who was so famous in the ninja world, could no longer tolerate his dissatisfaction with his son.

"idiot!"

He cursed without any mercy, looking at Huangtu with a stern brow, "When have I, Ohnoki, ever done anything that has no benefit? Is a mere Sound Ninja worthy of my attack?" After saying that, he became a little angry himself, pointing at Huangtu and began to scold him harshly.

"Look at your brain, is it for nothing? Sound-nin is a small matter. Once Iwagakure intervenes in the battle between Konoha and Kumogakure, the new and old hatreds will be added together, which will easily lead to the outbreak of the Fourth Shinobi World War!"

"The current situation in the ninja world is far from being as calm as you see! The current situation is like a piece of detonating clay, which will be ignited and exploded with just a little bit of external chakra stimulation!" Ohnoki looked at Huang Tu with a look of hatred, his tone fierce and painful. "You want me, the Third Tsuchikage, to personally bury the foundation that I have worked so hard to build after so many years of hard work by sending troops abroad under such circumstances?"

"......" Huangtu was scolded bitterly. This honest man stood straight. The tall and strong man over two meters tall, almost as tall as two Ōnoki, lowered his head at this moment and did not dare to refute a word.

"Third-sama is absolutely right..." Across the desk, Huo Guang's face showed deep feeling and nodded secretly. "Once you are stuck in the mud of war, it will not be so easy to get out of it easily..."
