Naruto, your uncle is going to be Hokage!

Onoki suddenly felt a chill run down his spine and immediately tried to reassemble his Dust Release technique, but it was too late.

A flash of blue light passed by, and the terrifying force from his throat made Onoki's face turn red, and he couldn't breathe!

"Father!"

The yellow earth behind him suddenly narrowed its eyes, wanting to rush to provide support.

"do not come!"

Onoki's pained voice drove him away.

This sudden scene shocked all the Sand Ninja in the restaurant, and the expressions of all the Sand Ninja leaders around them changed drastically.

Sitting in the first seat, Yecang also held his breath, his palms sweating.

Suddenly, Namikaze Mirai appeared in front of Onoki, her sapphire blue eyes looking down at him with mechanical disdain. Her right hand was gripping Onoki's neck, lifting him off the ground with his feet dangling in the air.

"Cough! Cough! Cough cough..."

He struggled to pry open the fingers gripping his throat, trying to free himself, but the hand was like steel, clamping down on his neck and impossible to budge.

Bloodshot veins appeared in Huang Tu's eyes. If Onoki hadn't stopped him earlier, he probably would have rushed forward recklessly.

Feeling the terrifying force emanating from that palm, Onoki knew that his life was already in the hands of Namikaze Mirai.

With just a slight exertion of his wrist, the latter could easily snap his throat as easily as breaking a dry twig.

“Kill, kill me…”

Knowing that his resistance was futile, Onoki simply gave up the struggle and left his life and death to Namikaze Mirai.

"Father!"

The yellow earth's eyes turned red!

"Kill me, and Iwagakure will surely wage war against Konoha, Kumogakure will also wage war against Konoha, and Sunagakure will not be able to stay out of it either, hehehe..."

Onoki laughed, a hint of madness appearing in his eyes as his throat was gripped.

"Hokage, do you intend to personally trigger the Fourth Shinobi World War?"

He's gambling.

Gambling on the future of Naruto without the courage to trigger the Fourth Shinobi World War.

If war were to break out, no matter how strong Konoha is, it would be impossible to withstand the siege of the four great ninja villages.

All of this resulted in widespread suffering and chaos in the ninja world.

"so what?"

The sudden sound caused the smile in Onoki's eyes to freeze.

He looked into Namikaze Mirai's eyes, and the longer they met, the more alarmed he became.

There was no hesitation, deliberation, or weighing of options as expected...

All that remains is a stagnant, deep pool of water.

Onoki couldn't decipher what was in those eyes.

It was precisely because he couldn't see clearly or understand it that he was alarmed.

The fingers clamping his neck loosened, and Onoki fell to the ground. Huang Tu immediately rushed over, grabbed him, and pulled him away.

"Father! Father!"

Huang Tu shook Onoki's body in panic, but the latter seemed to have lost his soul and did not respond at all.

What did you do to my father?

Huang Tu stared fiercely at Bo Feng Wei Lai.

"I'm fine, Huangtu."

Just as he was about to make his move, he heard Onoki's voice from inside his arms.

"Father, are you okay?"

"I am fine."

Onoki shook his head, stood up, and gave Namikaze Mirai a deep look.

He lost the game just now.

The moment he abandoned his attack and dispelled his dust escape, he suddenly launched an attack, exceeding his expectations in both speed and ruthlessness.

The Fourth Raikage's Lightning Release Chakra Mode is renowned for its speed.

But Namikaze Mirai was faster than him, so fast that he didn't even have time to react.

Although his carelessness was partly to blame.

There was also the fact that Namikaze seized the perfect moment to launch his attack, precisely when Namikaze had released his Dust Escape technique and was at his most relaxed.

But most importantly, it was the opponent's terrifying speed.

When fighting against Namikaze Mirai, you must maintain a sufficient distance and never let him take advantage of his speed.

Onoki memorized this deeply; it was an experience he had gained at great cost.

It will definitely be useful in the future battle against Namikaze Mirai.

"Let's go, to the loess."

Ōnoki gave Namikaze Mirai and Yokura a deep look before giving the order to Hikari.

"clear."

Watching Onoki's departing figure, Yekura's eyes showed a helpless expression. She hadn't expected Namikaze Mirai to suddenly make a move.

Things are in trouble.

She noticed the look in Onoki's eyes before he left.

This time, Sunagakure and Iwagakure are likely to become enemies.

Without leaving a trace, Yekura glanced at Namikaze Mirai beside her, and her helplessness deepened.

Was this step also part of your plan?

Namikaze Mirai's sudden intervention has put Sunagakure in an awkward position.

In the future, within the Four Nations Alliance, they will likely face constraints from the other three major ninja villages.

If Sunagakure wants to have a chance to develop, it can only align itself with Konoha.

What alarmed Yekura the most was not this, but that Namikaze Mirai had controlled Onoki with a single blow.

As one of the veteran Five Kage, Onoki's strength is beyond doubt!

He is definitely one of the strongest ninjas in the world.

While it was partly due to Onoki's carelessness, it was also partly due to Namikaze Mirai's unexpected and sudden attack.

But this cannot obscure the future strength of Namikaze.

Where is this man's limit?

Compared to him, Rasa, that piece of trash, is even less than trash, despite both being Magnet Release ninjas.

If she weren't the Kazekage, she would like to go to Konoha and thoroughly investigate its mysteries...

……

In Sunagakure Village.

Huang Tu followed behind Onoki, the atmosphere between them heavy, neither speaking.

Onoki was still replaying the scene of Mikage rushing towards him in his mind's eye.

It felt as if a huge rock was pressing on my chest.

I can hardly breathe.

Hashirama Senju established the system of one village per country, and under his leadership, the ninja world entered a new era.

In terms of strength, Namikaze Mirai may not be as good as Hashirama Senju back then, but his level of danger is far greater.

Like Madara, Mirai Namikaze is a ninja who imposes his personal will on the ninja world and intends to distort its course.

The difference is that in Madara Uchiha's era, Hashirama Senju suppressed him.

In the future era of Namikaze, no other Hashirama Senju was born.

“Father, Ye Cang’s attitude seems a bit subtle.”

After scanning the area and confirming that no Sand Ninja were following, Huang Tu lowered his voice and said.

"I see."

The weight of the stone on Onoki's chest seemed even heavier.

The Hokage's appearance in Sunagakure and his complicated relationship with Kazekage Pakura are not a good thing.

The entire journey was speechless.

Ōnoki returned to Iwagakure.
