Orochimaru, what exactly do you want to do?
The Fourth Raikage was short-tempered, but now he was a defeated opponent and could only try to find out their true purpose.
"Don't worry, we're businessmen, and we're all about money. Although your arms and legs were blown off, they're not beyond repair. Now it just depends on whether you're willing to pay. We have the best medical ninjas here. They can bring even the dead back to life, let alone broken arms and legs, as long as you can afford the medical fees."
Kimimaro looked at the Raikage, took a few simple testing devices, and examined the Raikage's severed limbs, confirming that they could regenerate.
It's a bit more difficult, so the price is a bit higher.
"You blew it all up, and now you're saying you'll fix it if I pay you?"
The Raikage had always thought of himself as a unreasonable person, but now he was certain that Otogakure was the place where reason was irrelevant.
How can you bully people like this? What gives you the right?
Do you think you can just rely on having Orochimaru, who's fearless and can casually open the Eight Gates Formation to blow people up?
"You can choose to refuse repairs. Anyway, your Cloud Village doesn't have the technology. While prosthetic arms and legs are possible, they are ultimately not as suitable for combat as the original body."
Kimimaro is currently the Minister of Finance, Minister of Medical Affairs, and Minister of Foreign Affairs of Otogakure.
Therefore, as long as it's not a situation within a laboratory, it can basically be left to him to handle.
How much will it cost?
Raikage admitted that he would never choose a machine if he had the chance to restore his own body.
"Wait a moment, I need to calculate the labor costs, medical expenses, and compensation for emotional distress..."
Kimimaro took out a calculator and began to perform calculations very seriously.
This attitude made the Raikage's anger flare up, but he had no choice but to continue to suppress it little by little.
He is now a prisoner, he is now wounded, he has no voice...
The frustrating time dragged on, and when Kimimaro finally showed him a list of all the categories, amounts, and totals, the Raikage almost slapped him with his still-intact hand.
"With so much money, why don't you just rob someone!"
Lei Ying's eyes widened in anger as he looked at the amount that was more than what he had been offered to redeem.
"Because the treatment is very complicated, and given your temper, I need to prepare compensation for the medical staff's emotional distress—that's a huge expense. Oh, and we also need accident insurance, because there's a good chance you might injure them..."
Seeing the chakra on the Raikage's fist, Kimimaro added another sum of money to it.
Now, the Raikage was completely speechless.
It's not that they don't have tempers, it's that they're afraid to lose their temper; even tough guys can be defeated by money.
"Lord Raikage, please sign here. Once you've signed, we can go for treatment. The sooner you start treatment, the better you'll recover."
Kimimaro quickly wrote out a contract, had the Raikage sign it, and then put it away with satisfaction.
Then, this person was no longer under his jurisdiction.
Next, they just need to wait to collect the money and then release the person.
"Hey! Where are the medical staff you were talking about?"
As Ashura lifted the Raikage up with one hand and carried him out, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.
Is this the attitude of the Sound Village towards the wounded?
Who should receive this compensation for emotional distress? He's the one who clearly needs it!
"Shut up, or I'll break both your legs!"
Ashura had no interest in healing the Raikage, but in the current situation, only he could completely control it, since Sasuke didn't want everyone to know yet.
"I already have a broken leg. Even if you hit me again, it'll still be broken!"
The Raikage was very unhappy with Ashura. Although it was now confirmed that Ashura was indeed strong, it didn't stop him from arguing with the guy.
"you sure?"
Ashura stopped and gave a sinister smile.
"You...you're right, I'll shut up!"
A sudden flash of inspiration startled Raikage, causing him to shudder.
He only knew that none of these red-eyed people were good. The Uchiha are really inhuman. How can they threaten people like this!
But he had to admit that he really had to back down from this threat...
"Don't move around, or I'm not sure if I'll break anything that's in my way."
Upon arriving at the medical room, Ashura tossed the Raikage onto the bed and waved his hand, causing the curtains and door to close automatically.
Seeing the once tough guy frightened, Ashura nodded in satisfaction, and a ball of healing light fell on the severed leg.
The process of bone, veins, blood vessels, and flesh growing back from the broken part of the thigh is even more painful than when it was broken.
Moreover, the break was instantaneous, but now Ashura deliberately prolonged the time so that Raikage would feel that the high medical fee was worthwhile, allowing Raikage to fully experience the feeling of limb reconstruction.
By the time one leg was fully repaired, the Raikage was in so much pain that his eyes were rolling back in his head.
Unfortunately, this is treatment, so he has to endure the pain, otherwise the Raikage himself is worried that it will grow crooked.
"This is such a troublesome job. Let me have something to drink before I treat your arm."
Ashura sat in the chair, a glass of juice appearing out of thin air in his hand, carrying a slight chill.
"Is there any water? I'm thirsty too."
Raikage is very weak right now, and because he's sweating so much, he also needs to drink water.
Fortunately, Ashura was satisfied with his painful and distorted appearance earlier, so he didn't make things difficult for him this time. He gave him a glass of drinking water and let him rest quietly beside him.
"Ashura, Two-Tails...is Two-Tails still there?"
After drinking some water and calming down, the Raikage asked about the Two-Tails, which no one else was talking about anymore.
He had previously believed that they used genjutsu to conceal and seal the Two-Tails before bringing it to the Sound Village.
Judging from the current state of Otogakure, it seems that they don't need the Two-Tails Jinchuriki at all.
"Don't even think about it. I ate the Two-Tails. Those are the offspring of the invaders' splitting apart. I'll eat them all sooner or later. Your Eight-Tails won't last more than a few years either. Glaring at me won't do any good. That was originally a destructive force created by the invaders. Our world used to be a place where humans could cultivate to become gods. Look at what it's become now. No matter how hard you cultivate, it's difficult to even live a few more years, let alone become a god or an immortal..."
Ashura's eyes suddenly turned irritable, but he quickly suppressed it.
By devouring invaders and destroyers, one could cultivate into a god...
He knew this information wouldn't be believed, but some things could be taken slowly.
In the future, he will not only be able to eat tailed beasts, but he will also find some reasons to eat them openly and legitimately.
Whatever Otsutsuki or the Sage of Six Paths, as long as they stand against their master, they'll be eaten if they can be eaten, and torn to pieces if they can't be eaten!
However, since his master didn't want the world to collapse, he decided to go along with the charade.
It's not like we haven't acted in it before, so what's the big deal?
Chapter 290 Hiruzen Sarutobi's Fear
"Cultivate to become a god, become an immortal..."
After the Raikage's arm was restored, he was sent to the temporary residence of the people from Kumogakure. He was still thinking about the information Ashura had told him earlier.
The invaders destroyed the foundation of their cultivation, forcing them to cultivate in the invaders' way. What does that mean...?
On the bright side, they were assimilated by the invaders.
On the worst-case scenario, they would become resources cultivated by the invaders, which the invaders could then seize.
"Lord Raikage, have you recovered?"
Darui watched the Raikage walk through the door, staring at him for a few more moments before finally confirming that their Raikage had fully recovered.
However, this situation seems to be quite bad.
But this is not surprising. Even they felt aggrieved to be prisoners, let alone the Raikage.
"Darui, if there were other methods of cultivation, would you try them?"
Looking at the young man he had always admired, Raikage suddenly wanted to ask him what he thought.
"Other cultivation methods? As long as they can improve me, I'm fine with them. I'm not afraid of hardship!"
Darui didn't understand how a new cultivation method suddenly appeared, but it didn't matter. As long as it could make him stronger, he was willing to try it.
"We'll see. It's still uncertain. Some things... might bring about new changes in your generation..."
Raikage patted Darui on the shoulder and turned to walk towards the room prepared for him.
He can't just listen to Ashura now. If there really is a god, then they should be shown the god's majesty before everyone can make a choice and change.
He couldn't believe it just from a few words or a few sentences.
There are no problems with the Sound Village for the time being. Under the absolute suppression of strength, the Raikage has no choice but to obediently wait for his village to pay for his ransom.
However, compared to the stability here, things are not so good in Konoha.
.........
The atmosphere in the Hokage Building of Konoha was extremely gloomy at this moment.
Nara Shikaku, whose spirit had been 'severely damaged,' was given a seat next to Yamanaka Inoichi, who had a sad expression, and Hatake Kakashi, whose expression was completely hidden by a mask.
Around them were people like Akimichi Choza, who rushed over to check on their friend after receiving the news, and people like Shimura Danzo, who came to watch the show.
"Kakashi, you're saying that this videotape contains information that Asuma's memories were read and copied before he died?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi seemed to have aged more than ten years in an instant, but his eyes held a certain sense of weighing the pros and cons.
His son died, but he could not convict the men who had gone on the mission with him and returned unharmed.
And this videotape, even if Kakashi didn't explain it very clearly, gave him a general idea of what was going on.
They extracted Asuma's memories and replicated them for others to see, with the aim of targeting him, the Third Hokage...
He made many guesses about the information contained therein, but each one was enough to destroy him and the Sarutobi clan.
There is still more information available, but with the Ino-Shika-Cho trio present, along with Danzo and the heads of other families, he didn't even dare to ask a few more questions.
He simply couldn't understand how such a simple observation task could have caused him to lose his son and then be about to lose even more!
