"I agree!"

I agree!

“No.” Onoki shook his head.

"Why, Tsuchikage-sama?" Everyone was dumbfounded. Was the usually radical Third Tsuchikage being so conservative this time?

Onoki explained, "If this pharmaceutical company is controlled by Konoha, we can use the excuse of not knowing about it beforehand to obtain the drug formula and the method for making medical scrolls, since Konoha can't do anything about it anyway. But if the Uzumaki clan is controlling it, then we can't do that."

"Why? No matter how strong the Uzumaki clan is, they are still much weaker than Konoha."

Many Jonin from Iwagakure cannot understand this.

Onoki continued, "Because if the Uzumaki clan is the one controlling the pharmaceutical group in the Land of Demons, then they are very likely accumulating funds in order to rebuild the Land of Whirlpools."

Intervening rashly would lead to a complete falling out with the Uzumaki clan.

Regardless of whether the Uzumaki clan successfully establishes a nation or whether the Uzumaki clan continues to exist, as long as Yagami Shiroha and Uzumaki Kushina are still alive, Iwagakure cannot be the first force to offend them.

As long as the Uzumaki clan still exists, Yagami Shiroha and Uzumaki Kushina still have hope of rebuilding their country, they will all have some reservations.

Two leaders with their own clansmen behind them are one and two isolated individuals who have no scruples.

I'm confident I could fight one of them alone, but if I faced both of them together, I'd probably have no choice but to run away.

In Iwagakure, there are probably very few people who could survive an encounter with two people working together.

After Onoki explained it this way, everyone immediately understood.

Just as all the major ninja villages relentlessly hunt down rogue ninjas, sometimes a village will also take action when it encounters rogue ninjas from other villages.

However, if they encounter an S-rank rogue ninja, they will rarely pursue them relentlessly in most cases.

It's not that we lack the ability, but we're afraid of pushing them too far.

With the Uzumaki clan still around, the threat posed by Yagami Shiroha and Uzumaki Kushina would actually be much smaller, because they would have to take care of their clan members.

Without the Uzumaki clan, the unbridled revenge of two top-tier Kage-level ninjas would be unbearable even for the Five Great Shinobi Villages.

"Let's send someone to probe first and see how Konoha and the Uzumaki clan react. Iwagakure is located in the mountains, with rugged roads, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack. At the same time, it's also difficult to trade with the outside world. This is a good opportunity for the Serpent Spirit Group to establish more commercial connections with the outside world. Achieving this basic objective is enough. Of course, if the other side backs down, that's when we can gain more benefits. Let's see how the battle is going at the front first, and then make further decisions."

Onoki made a decision.

Everyone admired Onoki's wisdom.

After all, the strength of the Uzumaki clan was only that of Yagami Shiroha and Uzumaki Kushina. After the destruction of my Land of Whirlpools, even if they were rebuilt, their foundation would not be enough.

The reason why the five great ninja villages dominate the ninja world is because they are an alliance of various ninja clans that have been passed down from the Warring States period.

Konoha is home to various ninja clans, including the Senju, Uchiha, Hyuga, Sarutobi, Nara, Akimichi, Yamanaka, and Aburame.

The Hidden Cloud Village is dominated by the Yotsuki clan, but it is ultimately due to the legacy of the ninja clans that the village is so powerful.

It is virtually impossible for the Uzumaki clan, which has been wiped out, to rise again and stand on equal footing with the five great ninja villages.

Unless another powerful ninja clan migrates to the Land of Whirlpools and rebuilds the Whirlpool Village, there is still a slight possibility.

However, most of the powerful ninja clans in the ninja world today are located in the five great nations. Even if they do not belong to the five great ninja villages, they will not be allowed to migrate to the Land of Whirlpools.

......

The Land of Whirlpools is located on a peninsula in the southeastern part of the Land of Fire. It is separated from the Land of Waves to the north and the nearest island of the Land of the Sea to the east by the sea, and they are very close.

At dawn, a thick fog blanketed the area. On the beach facing the sea on the east side of the Land of Whirlpools, four enormous phantoms appeared and disappeared in the dense fog.

At that moment, faint conversations began to occur.

Three enormous serpentine spirit beasts were coiled up, their six eyes staring at each other, their gazes occasionally drifting towards the huge orange creature on the beach not far away.

"Hey, Boss Xin Ya, Boss Qing She, why did Lord Bai Yu summon me here?"

The white snake spoke first.

Following Bai Yu, it transformed from an ordinary snake the size of a palm into a gigantic spirit beast sixty or seventy meters long, becoming one of the most important figures in Longdi Cave. However, the two people in front of it are the real bosses.

Xin Ya was the leader of the giant summoned beasts in Ryuchi Cave. If it hadn't been so irritable from the start, Manda wouldn't have had a chance.

Now, thanks to Kushina's years of training, its strength has almost caught up with the three great goddesses.

As for the green snake beside it, it was originally a new generation of strongmen in Longdi Cave. In recent years, it has also received special training from Bai Yu, and its body length has grown from twenty or thirty meters to more than a hundred meters.

In front of the two bosses, the White Snake still consciously played the role of the little sister.

"I don't know either. Logically speaking, since Lady Kushina has already released Lady Nine-Tails, Lady Shiraha no longer needs to summon us to fight. However, as subordinates, we only need to follow orders." Ao-Snake's gentle and magnetic voice rang out, appearing quite self-aware.

"You don't even understand this? This is called deterrence, you know?" After having his reverse scale removed, Xin Ya has returned to normal, but he is still quite impatient and speaks very directly, which is very similar to Kushina.

"The Third Mizukage of Kirigakure is one of the Five Kage of our time. He is very strong. Can we defeat him?" White Snake couldn't help but ask. It wasn't that it was afraid, but it hadn't fought much in recent years and was afraid of embarrassing Bai Yu.

"You don't eat people, do you?" Xin Ya asked.

"I never eat it." The green snake shook its head slightly.

The white snake shook its enormous head and said, "Lord Baiyu's orders forbid it, and I will not disobey them. I rarely even eat raw meat anymore."

"That's good. I don't eat people either. Otherwise, the Third Mizukage's mere nod wouldn't be enough for the three of us to share." Xin Ya said with a sneer, not taking the Third Mizukage seriously. After all, it was only half a step away from taking human form, and the Green Snake was not much weaker than it. Although the White Snake was much younger, its strength was similar to its former self. The three snakes working together would obviously have no problem dealing with the Third Mizukage.

"White Snake, Xin Ya and I will lead the charge, so don't be afraid," Green Snake gently comforted her.

"Listen up, you three! Don't try to take it from me. I'm not going to lay a hand on you without my permission!"

The nine-tailed creature's deep, muffled voice rang out.

The Nine-Tailed Fox, which had been lying on the beach pretending to sleep, raised its head and looked at Xin Ya, the Green Snake, and the White Snake. Its current size was less than forty meters, much smaller than the White Snake.

"Yes!"

Even the most short-tempered Xin Ya consciously admitted that it was no match for the Nine-Tailed Fox.

"Understood." Green Snake nodded.

"Yes." Since both leaders had spoken, the white snake naturally had no objections.

"Someone's coming! Follow me!"

Nine-Tails raised its head again, its two erect ears twitched slightly, then it got up and quickly ran south.

Rumble~

Although the three snakes and one fox had restrained themselves somewhat, their movements still caused the ground to shake violently.

On the other side, on the cliffs overlooking the sea, several Hidden Mist warships were anchored below, and a large number of Hidden Mist ninjas took advantage of the thick fog to climb up the cliff.

They deliberately chose the steeper side of the terrain in order to infiltrate secretly and then create unrest in the Land of Whirlpools in batches.

At that moment, the ninjas who were about to reach the top of the cliff suddenly noticed a violent tremor coming from the top of the cliff, and four huge shadows appeared in the thick fog.

Immediately afterwards, a huge, smiling fox head, along with three giant pythons of different colors—red, black, and white—emerged.

"what--!"

[Chapter 169. Unleashing a Powerful Move: Radiation Witch Array]

A terrifying surge of chakra rushed in like a tidal wave, directly sending the Hidden Mist ninja who was about to climb to the top of the cliff flying.

The Hidden Mist ninjas climbing below all looked up at the top of the cliff.

Orange chakra swept across this large area, and the massive chakra mist released by the Hidden Mist ninjas was quickly dispersed.

The enormous figures of the Nine-Tailed Fox, the Jawed Fox, the Green Snake, and the White Snake then appeared.

"It's a Tailed Beast!!"

"Oh my god!"

"Nine-Tails!"

"And there are also super-large summoning beasts!"

Looking at the panicked Kirigakure ninja below, Kurama felt a bit bored. These people were too weak, making it lose all interest in even moving around.

It was not originally bloodthirsty; its initial aversion to humans stemmed from the mistreatment it suffered at the hands of people like Madara, Hashirama, and Mito.

Since reconciling with Kushina, Kurama still hates humans, but it generally avoids killing unless absolutely necessary.

"Don't panic!"

"Jonin, hold the rear! Everyone else, retreat immediately!"

Whoosh whoosh!

The Kirigakure Jonin was the first to calm down and immediately gave orders to the Kirigakure ninjas who were climbing the rock, then threw kunai with explosive tags attached at Kurama.

Roar!

When the Nine-Tails saw that the Hidden Mist Ninja below had actually launched an attack on it, its crimson vertical pupils narrowed slightly, a fierce glint flashed in its eyes, and it opened its mouth and let out a roar.

The surging chakra, accompanied by a violent airflow, directly blew the kunai and explosive tags flying towards it back, and then they exploded in mid-air.

"what!"

"Wow!"

The Hidden Mist ninjas near the cliff top were instantly thrown into the sea by the powerful shockwave of the explosion, and in an instant, they were thrown into the sea like dumplings being dropped into boiling water.

At this moment, Kurama glared at the Hidden Mist ninja below and shouted, "If the Hidden Mist dares to step into the Land of Whirlpools' territory again, this is what will happen to them."

The Nine-Tails raised its head high, and then the purplish-black chakra symbolizing the Yin attribute and the blue chakra symbolizing the Yang attribute quickly gathered in its mouth, and then mixed and compressed them in a Yin-Yang ratio of 2:8.

A highly concentrated chakra ball condensed above the Nine-Tails' head, gradually growing to an enormous size.

Even those who aren't sensory ninjas can sense the terrifying power contained within the tangible Tailed Beast chakra.

This is the ultimate power of the Tailed Beasts—the Tailed Beast Ball!

Xin Ya, Qing She, and Bai She retreated several miles away the moment the Nine-Tailed Fox gathered its Tailed Beast Ball.

"Oh my god!"

"Tailed Beast Ball!"
