Naruto, your uncle is going to be Hokage!

Namikaze Mirai nodded.

Ye Cang was stunned by the scene of Ye Cang readily agreeing.

She had prepared various wordings and even planned to exchange benefits.

I didn't expect Namikaze Mirai to agree so readily.

It should be noted that food has become a strategic reserve for the village. A war cannot be fought without food. Yet, Namikaze Mirai showed no intention of using this to take advantage of Sunagakure.

Ye Cang's smile deepened.

It seems her move to win over Namikaze Mirai was indeed the right one.

I was about to say something to express my gratitude.

"Lord Kazekage, reinforcements from Iwagakure have arrived."

"Support? What support?"

Ye Cang frowned.

"It's the Tsuchikage, Onoki. He came to support Sunagakure after receiving their plea for help."

Chapter 158 Onoki: Kill me!

what? !

The Sand Ninja's answer startled Yekura.

Has reinforcements from Iwagakure arrived?

If Onoki were to come to Akatsuki's aid during the most critical moment of the attack, Yekura would certainly welcome him warmly.

But now Xiao's threat has long been eliminated.

Not only was the crisis resolved, but a grand banquet is being held to reward Namikaze Mirai for saving Sunagakure from its crisis.

Ōnoki arrived at this time.

It seems extremely ridiculous.

If the other party really wanted to provide support, why did they delay for so long?

A hint of disdain flickered across Ye Cang's lips.

She was glad she made that decision.

If I hadn't sought help from Konoha at that time, and had instead placed all my hopes on Iwagakure and Kumogakure...

What is the current state of Sunagakure?

With this in mind, Yekura's favorability towards Iwagakure also decreased significantly.

"Invite them in!"

Now that the four major powers have formed an alliance, it is not appropriate to leave Ōnoki out in the cold.

Yekura glanced discreetly in the direction of Namikaze Mirai, whose expression remained unchanged, seemingly unsurprised by Onoki's arrival.

Three shadows gathered in one room.

One of them was the famous Hokage.

This is probably the first time something like this has happened since the founding of Sunagakure.

Outside, Onoki, who had just arrived, hovered in mid-air, his brows furrowing slightly as he looked around at the messy Sunagakure village.

Judging from the condition of these buildings, Sunagakure must have gone through a fierce battle.

So, the One-Tailed Beast has already been taken by the other side?

When we meet the Kazekage later, we can take this opportunity to seek benefits by offering to help Sunagakure reclaim the One-Tailed Beast.

Onoki, who is the Tsuchikage, also has another name, "Two Scales" Onoki.

It refers to his smooth handling of affairs, his shrewdness, and his precise calculation of interests, which is as accurate as a scale.

The late Onoki had already anticipated Yokura's thoughts.

As the Kazekage, even though she was unhappy that she arrived late and hadn't been able to help Sunagakure, she had no choice but to put aside her dissatisfaction and cooperate with him in exchange for benefits in order to reclaim the One-Tailed Beast.

The enemy has acquired the ability to fly.

There are very few ninjas in the ninja world who possess the ability to fly.

I am the most suitable person to help Yekura reclaim the One-Tailed Beast.

We can't exactly ask Namikaze Mirai to help, can we?

As the Hokage, he was an enemy of the Four Nations Alliance!

"Lord Tsuchikage, Lord Kazekage has prepared a banquet and invites you to attend."

The report came from the Sand Village.

banquet?

Yekura even foresaw this?

Onoki was taken aback.

Did Yekura already know in advance that he was coming to Sunagakure to provide support, and was she prepared to ask for his help?

Unaware that Namikaze would make a move in the future, Onoki, who was unharmed, thought this was the most reasonable explanation.

"Lead the way!"

Following behind Onoki, Kyoto sensed something strange about the atmosphere around him, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what was wrong.

I have a feeling that the expressions of the Sand Ninja around me don't seem like those of someone whose Tailed Beast has been taken away.

If a tailed beast, which serves as a weapon in village warfare, were to suffer an accident, the village ninjas would inevitably be very depressed and frustrated, but the surrounding Sand Ninjas did not seem to have this feeling.

Huang Tu frowned, but couldn't think of a reasonable explanation for a moment.

As Ōnoki arrived with the Sand Ninja, his heart felt as if it had been gripped tightly by a giant hand.

His eyes were fixed on the blond figure to Yekura's left.

"Miku Namikaze!"

That's right! This guy is definitely Namikaze Mirai!

Why is he here?

Blue Flash, Konoha Hokage! Destroyer of the Old Order, Daimyo Killer...

Just recalling the series of titles given to Namikaze Mirai, Ohnoki felt a chill run down his spine!

Dust Release! Limit Separation Technique!

A dense white light emanated from his palm, and his chakra surged wildly within him. Onoki prepared himself to kill Namikaze Mirai right here!

Using the Dust Release ability!

If you hit it, it will be a one-hit kill!

This man is too dangerous. He killed a daimyo and overturned the order of the ninja world. I'll end you right here!

The sound in his ear made him freeze in his tracks.

"Oonoki, if I were you, I would never do such a stupid thing."

Facing Onoki's impending attack, Namikaze Mirai, seated on her chair, showed no panic whatsoever; in fact, her eyes even revealed a hint of disdain.

The surrounding air fell into a deathly silence.

The oppressive atmosphere made many of the Sand Village's high-ranking members hold their breath. Next to Namikaze Mirai, Yekura also subconsciously clenched her fingers, her heart pounding violently.

If they really start fighting here, the consequences are unpredictable.

A few drops of cold sweat slid down the forehead of Huang Tu, who was following behind Onoki.

What's going on with Mirai Namikaze here?

calm down!

Be sure to calm down!

The white light condensing in his palm grew increasingly intense; Dust Release was fully charged, ready to be launched at any time if Onoki wished.

Staring at Nami's future on the seat, he felt as if he were on the edge of a cliff, with an invisible pressure enveloping him.

His combat instincts, honed over a decade on the brink of life and death, reminded him that if he chose to attack, he would encounter something extremely terrifying!

This is the last time I've experienced something like this since becoming a ninja.

Only when I faced Madara Uchiha!

After a brief moment of hesitation, Onoki ultimately couldn't bring himself to do it, and the Dust Release technique he had gathered in his palm dissipated.

They abandoned their plan to attack.

But, just as he dispelled the dust escape technique!

The ripples on the seat have moved!
