"Ah, I never expected... that an old man like you would still be alive."

With a muffled thud, smoke billowed. Beside Hanzo, the man who should have been named Saizo had transformed into the appearance of Shimura Danzo. No, it shouldn't be said that he transformed. Rather, he was Shimura Danzo all along, only pretending to be Hanzo's subordinate for some ulterior motive.

No wonder he's so sensitive to comments like "having rashes on his face," after all, he's experienced it firsthand.

However, if Mugetsu were here, he would be greatly surprised. In his original thought, Danzo and Hanzo's collusion should have occurred at the end of the Third Shinobi World War. But he didn't expect that the two had actually reached some kind of agreement long ago.

"Oh? Is that so strange?" Onoki narrowed his eyes and said, "Although I am old, I still believe I am no weaker than any of you."

"What if the two of us attack together?" Danzo narrowed his eyes and said calmly.

"You can give it a try." Onoki remained calm and composed, appearing completely unperturbed.

In reality, he had planted spies throughout the entire office. At the slightest sign of trouble, more than twenty elite ninjas would jump out and launch a coordinated attack on the two men. Danzo and Hanzo, too, would likely have backup plans, and a direct confrontation would most likely result in mutual destruction.

However, this is clearly meaningless.

Danzo risked so much to personally leave the village and come here; it's clear he wasn't so noble as to want to sacrifice himself to fight the Tsuchikage. That wouldn't align with his values.

Hanzo, however, had his own plans. He couldn't afford to completely offend Iwagakure for the sake of an ally like Danzo, who could betray him at any moment. So he took the initiative to act as a peacemaker, saying, "We're not here to fight. We're here to negotiate in a way that benefits all three parties."

"Negotiation?" Onoki scoffed. "Do you even have the qualifications?"

His words were not meant to mock their abilities, but rather to point out the identities they represented.

Although Danzo was a high-ranking official in Konoha, he wasn't the Hokage and didn't have absolute authority. As for Hanzo… Onoki really didn't take that small Amegakure seriously.

"Right now, it's not a matter of qualifications. Iwagakure is fighting on three fronts, not to mention Sand Village for now. Facing two powerful enemies, Konoha and Kumogakure, at the same time, you're a bit overwhelmed, aren't you?" Danzo didn't seem to care about his tone and said calmly, "You urgently need strong reinforcements right now. Am I right, old man?"

"So what?" Onoki did not deny the fact.

Indeed, with his current forces, facing two major military powers simultaneously is somewhat of a constraint. Even children who have just graduated from the ninja academy have been drafted onto the battlefield. But if his plan succeeds this time, this awkward situation can be instantly resolved.

"Command of the eastern front of Konoha is in my hands. I can issue orders to have the troops stationed there launch a full-scale attack, relieving the pressure from Kumogakure for you." Danzo offered a condition you couldn't refuse. "Not only that, Hanzo will also send the elite troops of Amegakure to help you."

"You're actually willing to betray even the interests of your own village?" Onoki frowned, looking at Hanzo. The latter nodded in agreement, offering no objection. "What exactly do you want?"

"That goes without saying... of course it's the position of Hokage."

Danzo opened his half-closed eyes slightly, making no attempt to hide his ambition, and said, "After I become Hokage, I will forge a new alliance for you. The Trinity will sweep away the entire ninja world."

"You've really gone mad," Onoki exclaimed. But he had to admit that he was tempted by the promises the other party had made.

……

……

"Hey, look! It's that good-for-nothing!"

"Who? Oh, it's Seto!"

"Why is he so lifeless? He's completely different from his usual silly self."

"It's probably because of the mobilization order these past two days. The Tsuchikage is currently gathering ninjas. Anyone who has reached the Chunin level will be sent to the battlefield. This guy will probably participate in the operation as well?"

"That's quite possible, but the thought of fighting alongside someone like that makes me feel like I'm about to be plagued by bad luck."

"No, don't talk nonsense. With our strength, we will definitely defeat Kumogakure next, then Konoha, and finally win the entire Shinobi World War."

"However, a ninja like him has to face the Hidden Cloud Village. He's definitely going to die this time."

"Yeah, they're doomed."

"Don't underestimate him. This guy really made a big splash today. He actually called the Rain Ninja delegation gay to their faces and said they had 'orange gold' on their faces!"

"No, no way! This coward, how could he dare to do this?"

As Wuyue walked down the street, he was constantly bombarded with such comments. He himself didn't care, since it wasn't directed at him. However, a certain system couldn't stand it any longer.

Make your choice, dear host.

First, take out your gold coins and compare their sizes.

Second, put on spiked gloves and unleash the Thousand Years of Killing on them.

Third, take out the panties from the ninja tool bag and hold an auction.

162 Chrysanthemums wither, leaving only scars on the ground!

(Gentlemen's Exchange Kingdom: **)

Damn, you're really stirring things up!

Mugetsu's eyes twitched, and he turned his gaze to the group of young Iwa ninja at the alley entrance, slowly walking over.

He immediately abandoned the first and third options.

Taking out gold in public is just too embarrassing to do; it's simply impossible.

Auctioning his panties is absolutely out of the question! You see, the panties he keeps in his ninja tool pouch... belong to his closest loved ones. They are Wuyue's most precious possessions, treasures he would protect with his life! How could he possibly auction them off! That would be blasphemy!

Therefore, it seems that the only option is the second one.

"Hey, look... that good-for-nothing is coming over!"

"Tsk! Could it be that they overheard us and want to cause trouble for us?"

"Him? Hmph, I could take care of him with one hand."

"Gentlemen, everyone."

Wu Yue seemed completely unconcerned by their disdainful and contemptuous words. He stood in front of them and asked, "Is there something I can ask you for help with?" True to his original personality, he was very cautious and spoke softly and weakly.

"Huh? Help?"

"You really have some wild ideas."

"Hmph! Do you think that just because you insulted the Rain Ninja Mission, you've done something earth-shattering?"

"Well, let's hear what's wrong with this poor guy. Even if we don't help, we can at least have it as a joke to pass the time, right?"

"Your idea is quite good. Okay, Seto. How can we help you?"

"It's nothing serious." Scratching her head, Wuyue pretended to be embarrassed and said, "It's just that I recently learned a really powerful martial art... um, I want to find a few people to test it on."

Physical skills? Experiment?

The group of rock ninjas looked at each other in bewilderment. Then, they burst into laughter.

"Hahahaha... Is this guy asking for a beating?"

"Tsk tsk, a new physical technique you just learned? It sounds like a child showing off."

p_“In my opinion, he probably doesn’t want to participate in tomorrow’s operation, so… he’s deliberately trying to find someone to cripple him.”

"Well, he's a coward after all."

ˇ。

"Hehehe, since he has such a request, I'd be happy to help. Besides, it'll reduce the number of people dragging our unit down."

"To be honest, Jinbe, you just want to beat him up. I was thinking the same thing, but... I'll leave it to you this time."

"Thank you very much then." The guy named Jinbe took two steps forward and said arrogantly, "Well then, let me see what kind of taijutsu you've learned."

"Hmm, please wait a moment." Wuyue reached into her ninja tool pouch with her right hand and pulled out a pair of black leather gloves. The tips of each finger had sharp spikes protruding, like interlocking wolf fangs.

Damn, something looks really weird about this thing. Are you sure it's a weapon? Or some kind of adult toy?

Wu Yue's lips twitched slightly as she carefully put on her gloves.

"Hmph! They've prepared quite thoroughly."

Seeing his actions, Jinbe sneered and said, "But what's the use? To deal with trash like you, all you need is..." Before he could finish speaking, he raised his fist and punched Mugetsu.

The fist whistled through the air, carrying a fierce, sharp wind.

However, before Jinbe's fist could even get close to Mugetsu's body, the latter suddenly ducked, dodging his attack, and instantly circled behind him.

Crouching down, Wu Yue joined the middle and index fingers of both hands together, aiming at a point on the center of the target's back.

Thousand Years of Killing!

· ……

What about people?

The question had just crossed Jinbe's mind. The next instant, with a soft "plop," he felt a piercing pain deep inside him.

"Waaaaah!!!" Heart-wrenching screams echoed throughout the area.

"How...how is this possible..."

"Jinbe was defeated in a single move?"

"Shameless! This damned piece of trash actually used such a shameless method!"

"Wow, how terrifying! Who on earth created this kind of martial art?!"

Seeing Jinbe clutching a spot and rolling around on the ground, the Iwa ninja were shocked, indignant, and incredulous.

Wu Yue didn't care what they thought or what their expressions were; he wouldn't hesitate to use any means to complete the task. With a flash, he rushed towards the next target.

"Ahhhhh!!"

"No, no!"

"Stop! Stop! My butt!"

At his speed, these people didn't even have a chance to escape, and they all let out shrill screams. It was like the scene of a horror movie. It attracted many people to stop and watch, including... Aoba.

Unbelievable! The man she loved could do such a thing! Looking at the bright red bloodstains on the ground, even Aoba gasped, a chill running down her spine. How terrifying! So this was Seto's true nature? Was his timid exterior just a facade to mask his sadistic side?

grunt.

Swallowing hard, Qingye dared not stay any longer, fearing that the other party would recognize her and cause her to suffer the same fate as these people.

At this moment, Wu Yue was unaware that the gay man who had been eyeing her had been scared off. A system notification sounded in her mind: "Congratulations, host, for completing the option. Reward: 50 days of cultivation in all aspects, and five years of dragon growth cycle."

163 Snipers

(Gentlemen's Exchange Kingdom: **)

Although Mugetsu's actions in Iwagakure caused some ripples, they ultimately did not create much of a stir.

After all, at this moment, the entire Hidden Stone Village was busy preparing for their infiltration of Iwagakure. Clearly, they didn't have time to manage this kind of brawl between villagers. Besides… getting blown up somewhere was really beneath them.

This is true.
