Konoha: This Uchiha just wants to lie down.

Chapter 960 Oonoki: I’m not, I didn’t, don’t talk nonsense!
"Damn it Akatsuki!!"

After Ohnoki's neck recovered from Kurotsuchi's massage, he roared out these words in anger.

It seems that he hates Akatsuki even more than Jiraiya and Ai.

As to whether he hated the other party for killing the daimyo and nobles of the two major countries, or for not taking action against the nobles of the Land of the Rock, that is another matter.

In fact, it is because of the 'distance' reason.

Both the Land of Thunder and the Land of Fire were not too far away from the battlefield, but the Land of Earth was a little too far away. Plus, there was no agreed upon time for action, which led to the time mismatch.

A few hours later, the news that Ōnoki had been waiting for arrived.

Knowing that something had happened to the daimyo and nobles of the two countries, the daimyo and nobles of the Land Kingdom who fled Kyoto were also assassinated.

"It's Akatsuki!"

"It must have been Akatsuki who did it!"

"We, the Iwagakure, and the Akatsuki are sworn enemies!"

...

Ohnoki showed his best acting skills to perfectly portray the image of a man who, upon hearing of his ally's death, is ready to inherit his will and seek revenge.

The key point is 'legacy'.

After inheriting the will, it is normal to inherit the estate, isn't it?

His performance could be hidden from others, but not from the four Kages present.

Even Jiraiya and Ai suspected that it was done by Ōnoki.

After all, the news is a little different this time.

There is no explicit mention of the 'filthy earth body' taking action.

But Oonoki kept saying that it was Akatsuki who did it, which does make people suspicious.

In fact, Ohnoki also wanted to do this.

But all the strong men of the Iwagakure Village were around, and no one in the village could take action. If no strong man took action, they could do nothing about the guards around the daimyo.

Once the flaw is revealed, the consequences will be extremely fatal.

So, no matter who did it, he would decisively put the blame on Xiao.

He already had a guess in his mind.

Others would speculate whether he did it.

But of course Ōnoki knew that he hadn't made any move at all, it would have been someone else.

According to the report from the Anbu, the daimyo and nobles were caught off guard and were quickly slaughtered by the enemy.

The only ones who can do this are myself, Xiao... and the Lieyang Kingdom.

Of course he also knew that the Kara organization was a pseudonym of the Fiery Sun Country. After all, there were also Iwa Ninjas among the team that sent out to the Fiery Sun Army yesterday.

However, they all see through these shadows but don’t speak out.

The grudges with the Shell Organization must naturally be settled.

But not now!
The most important thing at this time is to deal with the Akatsuki organization.

Only after dealing with the other party can we deal with the Lieyang Kingdom. This order cannot be wrong.

So before that, they cannot fall out with the Lieyang Kingdom.

Even if we know that the Kara organization is a cover for the Lieyang Country, and that the member of the Kara organization who has done a lot of shocking things is Hinata Cangyue, we must pretend that we don't know.

Ōnoki was also aware of this, which is why he did not add the Kara organization to his list of suspects.

Because the Kingdom of the Fiery Sun is just a shell.

Among the three targets, he first eliminated himself, and then eliminated Xiao.

If the other party really did that, they wouldn't need to hide it at all, so there is only one possibility in the end.

Hinata Cangyue of the Lieyang Nation or the Kara Organization! .

Not only is the opponent incredibly powerful, he also has special means of concealment, which is why he can get close and assassinate silently.

After figuring this out, Oonoki wasn't going to explain.

Because it's useless!

You can believe that it was not you who did it, but others may not believe it.

They only see their own benefits and thus determine that it was they who sent someone to do it, and will not listen to any explanation.

In fact, this is true!
Both Ai and Jiraiya tried to comfort Ōnoki, saying that they were all in this together and that they must avenge the daimyo and the nobles.

But the look in his eyes was one of 'I didn't realize you were so cruel, Ohnoki'.

(Oonoki: I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense!)
Although Ohnoki could indeed do such a thing, after all, he, the Third Tsuchikage, was not just a show-off, but a man of decisive and ruthless character.

But he really doesn't want to take the blame for something that he clearly didn't do.

At this point, all three shadows fell into "sorrow".

They even went back to their rooms to rest for a while before returning to normal (afraid to laugh out loud) and began to think about how to avenge the daimyo and the nobles. Now they have one more reason to deal with Akatsuki.

However, there has not been much progress in the more than a day from yesterday to today.

Only a few thousand White Zetsu were killed, and as for the Impure World Warriors, except for some who chose to join the coalition, most of them "ran out of control" and left the battlefield.

(This was specially arranged by Dou. If left alone, the metropolis would choose to be sealed!)

Not to mention, those official members of Akatsuki had already hidden somewhere unknown.

When it comes to hiding themselves and running away, the Akatsuki members are really strong.

"Next, hunt down Xiao with all your strength!"

This is the only decision Ai can make.

Now they don’t have much choice but to remain unchanged in the face of ever-changing circumstances.

The key is that the Lieyang Army is still eyeing them covetously. Even if they have received a promise and the other party has a very high credibility, they are still wary in their hearts.

Anyway, the coalition forces are now in the upper hand, so maintaining stability is the best option.

Hearing the coalition's choice, someone almost laughed out loud.

The bridge of the Fiery Sun!
"Hahaha!"

Tang Ping laughed out loud.

Because he really didn't expect that the coalition forces would do such a stupid thing.

Isn't this exactly the same as the 'I'd rather do nothing than make a mistake' meme?

Well, I can only say that this moment is just like that moment.

If they were the coalition forces, they would definitely try to take a gamble. They could either retreat directly and put the blame on their own Fiery Sun Army, since Akatsuki's enemy is the entire ninja world anyway. Or they could ignore the defense line and attack with all their forces to eliminate Akatsuki.

Unfortunately, the coalition did not choose either of these two options, but only chose the safest, but actually the worst option.

Of course, he would not look down on the coalition forces because of this.

This situation occurs because the coalition's command is not composed of just one person.

If any one of Ai, Ōnoki, or Jiraiya were in charge, they would definitely make the right choice.

But the coalition forces are commanded by the five Kage, and one person cannot hold all the power.

Even if you know which choice is right, you still have to consider other people, especially whether the village will pay the price for your choice if you make the wrong choice.

If Ai made the wrong choice, his own prestige would definitely be damaged, and then Jiraiya would become the leader of the coalition.

With these inside stories, it is no wonder that the Five Kage, who are obviously very capable, made the worst choice.

"By the way, thank you for your hard work, Cangyue!"

After laughing, Dou Ping praised Hinata Sogetsu who had just returned.

Yes, she rushed to the Land of Earth and dealt with the daimyo and those nobles.

With the Samsara Eye, she is definitely at the T0 level in the ninja world in terms of tracking and reconnaissance capabilities, so she was able to quietly find the team of the Daimyo of the Land of Earth who was fleeing Kyoto, blend in with them and quickly resolve the situation.

There is one thing that must be understood, Hinata Sogetsu did not start the Impure World Body riot after the raid on Kabuto yesterday.

She left at the same time as Shikamaru.

Because the Land of Earth is so far away, it will take quite a while.

It took more than a day to get there, but less than a few hours to get back, all thanks to the use of a 'secret weapon'.

fighter!
The fighter jet, which started at several Mach speeds, rushed back from the Land of Earth. If it hadn't deliberately slowed down, it might have gone even faster.

In other words, the Iwagakure ninjas have special channels for transmitting messages, otherwise Hinata Sogetsu might have returned before the message was delivered.

Let’s find out about Mach flying speed.

At this moment, the Lieyang Army was just like a pack of wolves before hunting, just waiting to hunt.

Even though it seems now that the situation is extremely unfavorable for the Akatsuki organization, there is absolutely no chance for the Lieyang Army to take action.

But Tang Ping knew very well that Akatsuki would definitely win.

At the very least, he could force out the Rinnegan, allowing the Ten-Tails to become a Jinchūriki after its birth, and then use the Infinite Tsukuyomi to allow Princess Kaguya to appear.

Neither Dohei nor the Six Paths Sage could allow Black Zetsu to fail before this.

The only question is when the other party succeeds.

With the cards in his hand, Ido Ping can indeed manipulate the outcome, but he has no intention of doing anything tricky.

After all, this is the goal of the Six Paths Sage.

Even though it is actually his target, the Six Paths Sage doesn't know it, and instead feels that he will try to stop it.

If the information is not released, the other party will naturally care more about it than you do.

With anticipation, Dohei also witnessed the Six Paths Sage's back-up plan.
