I just returned to Konoha and found that all my clan members were gone.

At the border between the Land of Rain and the Land of Earth, after learning that Huang Tu and his daughter were captured alive, Ōnoki personally led the main force of Iwagakure to conduct a pressure test here.

"I never thought that Iwagakure would still need me."

A giant man over two meters tall, wearing a conical hat and armor, stood next to Ohnoki. As he spoke, some steam leaked out from the gaps in his armor.

"I'll have to rely on you more this time, Han."

What other villages didn't know was that Ohnoki, who almost completely controlled Iwagakure, didn't get along well with the two jinchūriki. The two jinchūriki were dissatisfied with Ohnoki's actions and left the village one after another. Among them, Lao Zi had a big fight with Ohnoki.

After seeing the miserable photos of his son and granddaughter, Ohnoki risked his life and finally pulled back the Five-Tails Jinchuriki. He originally wanted to go find Lao Zi, but he really didn't know the other party's whereabouts and could only hurriedly gather the troops.

The main reason why Ohnoki mobilized so many troops was that Iwagakure really had no successors. After seeing the photos, Ohnoki was afraid that something would happen to them again, otherwise he would not be so anxious. You know, now Iwagakure only has Akagi who is barely qualified, but Akagi's stupid personality can only act as a thug.

Faced with the large gathering of Iwagakure's troops, Amegakure did not sit idly by. It also gathered a large force at the border. Ohnoki had always sent ninjas to the very border to shout and curse. As long as the other party took action, Ohnoki would have a reason to take action.

But the people of Yugyakure were not stupid. The great victory they won last time gave them a lot of confidence, and they were not at a disadvantage at all when facing the saliva attacks from the Iwagyakure ninjas.

For a moment, the ninjas from both sides could be seen staying at the border and arguing loudly, but no one dared to take action no matter how fiercely they were arguing.

"This is going to lead to no results."

Han said as he looked at the ninjas on both sides of the border.

"I didn't expect that after not fighting Yuyin for all these years, their overall quality has improved so much."

Ohnoki felt a little sad. This little trick didn't have much effect on some big countries, but was most effective on some small countries or ninjas with mediocre qualities. Although he just wanted to give it a try, he was still a little disappointed when he failed to achieve his goal.

"How about hiring some ninjas to do some moves in Amegakure?"

Han, who knew Ohnoki, said that Ohnoki had done this kind of thing many times before.

Oonoki hesitated for a moment as he considered the feasibility of Han's statement.

"Are you talking about Akatsuki? I've worked with them before, and they're really efficient. But the ninja world hasn't heard anything about them recently, so I don't know if it's too late to find them."

While Ōnoki and Han were still struggling over how they could legitimately invade, the ninjas who were still engaged in a verbal fight up ahead suddenly started shouting.

Oonoki took a closer look, called Akagi and Han and said directly, "The one who can speak is here, let's go!"

The ninjas on both sides who were quarreling with each other stopped talking at this moment, as if they were the ones who had just spitted and obediently made way for their commander.

After seeing the appearance of the person coming, Ohnoki snorted with disdain.

"Is that old guy Hanzo dead? Just let you little brats talk about it?"

The visitors were Xiu, Liang, and Ye Lan who appeared with the appearance of Lan Ye.

As soon as Ohnoki finished his words, a burst of chakra suddenly burst out from Ye Lan's body. The deep blue chakra directly created cracks in the ground under Ye Lan's feet.

Ye Lan stared at Ohnoki and his group with no sign of weakness, and said word by word, "Don't insult Lord Hanzo."

"You boy!"

Han was not at all frightened by Ye Lan's aura. This aura was even weaker than Ying's. He walked forward directly, his armor making a buzzing sound and a large amount of steam leaking out of his body, as if he was going to take action in the next second.

"Tsuchikage-sama, Hanzo-sama sent me to negotiate with your village regarding your son and granddaughter, but it seems that the Hanshang people of your village have no intention of negotiating."

Xiu walked out slowly. He recognized the famous steam ninja during the Third World War and the Jinchuriki of the Five-Tails. It was said that this man had fought with the Yellow Flash Fourth Hokage of Konoha. He was definitely one of the strongest in Iwagakure.

Oonoki suppressed his disdainful expression, looked at Xiu deeply and said.

"Han, come back, or they will think we are bullying the weak."

As Han returned to Ohnoki's side, Xiu also pretended to give Ye Lan a look and asked him to return behind him. Of course, all this had been rehearsed long ago, otherwise Xiu would not dare to command Ye Lan even if he had two more courage.

"Tell me what conditions Hanzo proposed."

Oonoki was still worried about his son and granddaughter, so he asked directly as soon as the atmosphere between the two sides eased.

Xiu said slowly, "Before that, we need to confirm one thing, Tsuchikage-sama."

Seeing the other person's smiling expression, Ohnoki suppressed his resentment and said, pinching his nose, "You say."

"The first point is that Iwagakure took the initiative to invade the territory of the Rain Country. This is indisputable. If Lord Tsuchikage doesn't even admit this, then there is no need for us to talk."

"You were the ones who started it first!"

"Do you know how many people we lost?"

There were a large number of ninjas watching the negotiations at the border. When they heard this, the Iwagakure ninjas became unhappy and started arguing.

There was surprisingly no movement on the Amegakure side, and no one was making any noise. Xiu kept staring at Ōnoki, wondering what the Tsuchikage would say in response.

"Quiet!"

Ohnoki's reputation in Iwagakure is still unmatched. After he gave a low shout, the quarrel on the Iwagakure side stopped.

"You are not as skilled as others, so why are you still arguing here? If you want to get your lost face back, you can't use your mouth, you have to use your fists!"

All of the Iwagakure ninjas were immediately aroused by Ohnoki, and all of them fiercely stared at the Raingakure ninjas opposite them, their eyes wishing they could skin the other person alive.

After saying this, Oonoki smiled and looked at Xiu confidently.

"We, the Iwagakure Village, acknowledge this matter. Tell us what price you want us to pay."

Xiu completely ignored the gazes of the surrounding Iwagakure ninjas and said directly, "Since Lord Tsuchikage is so courageous, I will tell you in detail about the losses that this friction has brought to Raingakure."

Before Oonoki could react, he saw Xiu pull out a notebook from his arms and read directly.

"Because the Iwagakure ninja rashly invaded our territory and caused profound damage to the Rain Country, Iwagakure must make the following compensation..."

As Xiu spoke more and more, Oonoki's expression became more and more ugly, and his red nose showed that he was on the verge of a rage.

Han and Chitu looked at each other in bewilderment. It was the first time they heard that war would cost so much money.

"Ridiculous! Shameless!"

After hearing this, Ohnoki stood up and trembled. He had never seen anyone asking for money so confidently. It was fine to ask for medical expenses and resettlement expenses, but how come he even asked for wear and tear fees and shock fees.

"Tsuchikage-sama, these conditions were jointly decided by us in Yugakure. What do you think?"

Xiu seemed not to notice Oonoki's expression and took the initiative to approach him and asked.

"If this is what Yuyin meant, then let's face it on the battlefield!"

Ohnoki shook his sleeves and spoke directly. When the other Iwagakure ninjas heard Ohnoki's words, their morale instantly increased and they raised their weapons at the same time. Even if they were asked to fight the next moment, no one would retreat.

"What a pity! If that's the case, then I can only sacrifice the Yellow Earth Jonin first!"

After receiving Guo Yelan's instructions, Xiu did not show any weakness and directly said he wanted to kill Huang Tu.

"you dare!"

Ohnoki suddenly floated in the air and looked at Xiu fiercely. At this moment, it was like two barrels of explosives and a spark was about to break out.

Just when the situation was tense, a ninja from Yuyin came running over and spoke loudly.

"The messenger from Konoha is here!"
