The Avengers of the Uzumaki Family

'Old Zisang is still so bold.'

'Isn't this a very inappropriate approach?'

'Lord Zi is still as direct as ever.'

Huang Tu, Yan Jue, and the others in the lower positions also had slight changes in expression, especially the Iwa ninja in the back, who subconsciously began to exchange glances with each other.

Chapter 303 Reasonable Response

"Huh? That's certainly a very valid reason. Uzumaki Menma's faction has three tailed beasts in it. The alliance between Takigakure and Kusagakure, judging from the current situation, should be confirmed to be formed around this Menma-kun. In this case, our southeastern ninja village is about to face a newly rising behemoth and further cripple Kumogakure. It seems to be helping our Iwagakure village get rid of the eastern threat, but isn't it also helping Uzumaki Menma and his group? Won't the threat in the southeast become even greater then?"

Sitting at the head of the table, Onoki straightened up and looked at Rōshi on his right with a look of great interest, speaking slowly and deliberately.

"Tch, a threat from the southeast? Do you, Onoki, have the same reckless personality as that Raikage kid? If we go all out, what are Takigakure and Kusagakure?! That Nine-Tails kid can defeat the Raikage kid, he does have some strength, but are you, Onoki, afraid? And at the very least, we still have Konoha. Right now, the one most worried about the Nine-Tails kid is Konoha, isn't it? Our worst-case scenario is that we can join forces with Konoha to attack the Nine-Tails kid. But Kumogakure's opportunity, once missed, will be gone forever. By pushing the battle line forward and bringing the Land of Frost and the Land of Sound completely under our Iwagakure's sphere of influence, and further suppressing Kumogakure, we can unleash the power of Iwagakure and gain more benefits. Besides, aren't you that brat with the alliance? Why don't you make full use of that?!"

Old Zi chuckled.

After a slight pause, he continued.

"Providing help in times of need is far better than adding to someone's success. It also gives you a lot more leverage. You, Onoki, aren't going to tell me you don't know how to use these things, are you?"

The reasons are fully explained.

The advantages and disadvantages are stated directly.

With Lao Zi's attitude becoming clear.

The other Iwa ninja below were exchanging glances more frequently. Huang Tu, needless to say, and Iwa Zetsu also frowned slightly, truly beginning to seriously consider Rōshi's opinion.

It seems that way.

It would indeed be more appropriate to fulfill the alliance and severely damage the Hidden Cloud Village, wouldn't it?

It aligns with the current interests of Iwagakure (Hidden Stone Village). As for the future?

Like Lao Zi, Yan Jue didn't think that Mian Ma's place could really cause any waves, as their geographical location was too poor.

It was so bad that it was almost surrounded by the three great ninja villages.

The Hidden Cloud Village is not directly adjacent to any other village.

However, within the power group built by Menma.

To the northwest lies Iwagaku Village.

To the southeast is Konohagakure (Hidden Leaf Village).

Then, to the southwest, there is Sunagakure Village.

If the three major ninja villages were to join forces and launch a full-scale attack, Iwaze truly believed that the power of Takigakure and Kusagakure, built by Menma, would inevitably crumble.

In that case.

Using Menma to severely damage our village's greatest enemy is indeed the most correct and reasonable course of action.

"Hahaha, Lao Zi, Lao Zi, it has to be you again."

Meanwhile, Onoki, who was in the main seat, burst into unrestrained laughter.

Because the opinion that Old Purple is expressing at this moment is actually Onoki's own attitude.

In the past, although Old Purple and Onoki had very different personalities and often disagreed on many things, there were a few times when they would actually reach a very subtle point of harmony.

Everything Lao Zi just said.

It is what Onoki is thinking and feeling inside his heart.

Of course, there's another point that Old Purple didn't mention, or perhaps didn't anticipate: if Iwagakure 'supports' Menma in this way, it will definitely leave a good impression. If, in the future, Kumogakure, Konohagakure, and Kirigakure really decide to destroy Uzumaki Menma, Iwagakure can use a little trick, like 'not providing timely support,' until that group of forces is almost wiped out. Then, Onoki can then legitimately take in Menma and the others.

This is a win-win approach.

Even if there are some things, Mianma can see them.

But this is a blatant, overt conspiracy.

It's placed in front of you.

Ohnoki believed that Menma would be a smart person, both now and in the future.

"Old Purple is right. Our Iwagakure is a ninja village that values ​​its reputation. Alliances must be honored. Huang Tu, immediately send someone to negotiate with Menma. The pressure from Kumogakure will be left to our Iwagakure. Let him focus on dealing with Konoha and Kirigakure. Everything will be done according to the alliance. This time, we will not only reclaim the territories that Kumogakure has eroded over the years, but we will also deal a heavy blow to the Kumo ninja. The northern border is our Iwagakure territory!"

Onoki suddenly stood up and said with great bravado.

"Yes, Lord Tsuchikage!"

In the lower part.

Huang Tu, Yan Jue, and the other Iwa ninja bowed in unison and replied in deep voices.

Old Zi, sitting on one side, paused for a moment, then glanced sideways and let out a slightly annoyed snort, as if it came from his nose.

By now, this Four-Tails Jinchuriki from Iwagakure no longer realized that he had been fooled by that old man in the main seat.

However, Lao Zi didn't say much.

Over the years, he had long since gotten used to it.

The plan has been decided.

A comprehensive order.

The Iwa ninja forces immediately assembled. Unlike the previous small skirmishes, this time Onoki was clearly going all out. Not only did he send his son to personally lead the charge, but to prevent any unforeseen circumstances, in addition to Akatsuchi who was still at the front line, Rōshi would also join the effort. The Iwa ninja forces that were recruited, along with the garrison troops that were previously stationed on the eastern border, totaled more than 5,000 people. Onoki wanted to push the battle line in one fell swoop and reclaim all the benefits that had been lost in the past. Originally, more than ten years ago, in the great battle in which the Third Raikage died, the Iwa ninja had a very good opportunity.

However, the Iwa ninja also paid a heavy price in that battle.

Secondly, the southern invasion plan was completely thwarted by Konoha.

Although it wasn't a large force, the Iwa ninja led by Hidden Death were all elites. With losses on both fronts, Iwagakure, seemingly the victorious side, was also powerless to launch another invasion of Kumogakure. Later, when the Iwa ninja recovered, Kumogakure, under the leadership of the Fourth Raikage, was the first to recover its strength.

That's how opportunities are missed.

now!

The deaths and injuries of more than 3,000 Cloud Ninja, their rout, the serious injury of the current Raikage, and the loss of the Two-Tails Jinchuriki have undoubtedly dealt a heavy blow to the Hidden Cloud Village.

With other ninja villages like Konoha unable to attend to the situation, the situation remains unresolved.

This is their opportunity in Iwagakure.

Onoki wants to take advantage of Kumogakure's weakness and become incredibly powerful overnight!

"whoosh"

"whoosh"

"whoosh"

"whoosh"

"whoosh"

Iwagakure Village, where a large-scale operation takes place.

One after another, the Iwa ninjas came from all directions, receiving different orders and joining different formations to gather together.

"War, it seems our Iwagakure village will also have to join the war."

"Tsk tsk, I heard that Kumogakure suffered a terrible defeat. It seems that Takigakure and Kusagakure, especially that Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, are really powerful."

"I wonder what decision our Tsuchikage has made this time?"

"I think we should kick a man when he's down, right?"

"Well, you can't say for sure."

"Another war..."

"How many more people will die this time..."

"Hooray! Iwagakure!!"

The war that came as expected.

For the people living in the ninja village, this is commonplace. In the past few decades, three major wars have swept across the entire ninja world. Even during the so-called peacetime in between, small wars have never stopped. Don't be fooled by the fact that the number of ninjas doesn't seem to be very large.

Even a mere genin could cause far more destruction than an ordinary person.

Not to mention battles involving Jonin-level ninjas who can use large-scale techniques.

A battle.

That way, an area can be leveled.

Ninjas are a profession born for battle.

The people of Iwagakure have long been accustomed to this way of life, but no matter how accustomed they are, everyone still has different feelings. Some are excited, some are curious, and some are worried.

But regardless of their attitudes.

None of this could change the decisions of the Ninja Village's leadership.

The actions of the Iwa ninja naturally attracted the attention of all the ninja villages in the ninja world. The first to receive the news were Menma, who was closest to the village and an ally. It was almost as soon as the Iwa ninja launched a large-scale operation and headed directly towards the eastern part of the country.

Menma, who was in Takigakure Village and had just finished finishing up the work, urging Takigakure and Kusagakure Villages to build a stable joint defense line, received the news immediately.

This is a well-intentioned but easily discernible scheme.

Regardless of what Onoki thought, the actions of Iwagakure ultimately developed in a direction that benefited Menma and his side.

Upon receiving the news, Menma immediately relayed it to Shemu and others, and then convened a high-level meeting in the village.

"Is this true, Menma-kun? That Tsuchikage and Iwagakure have reached an alliance agreement with you, and now they've directly dispatched a large army to attack Kumogakure?"

Inside the government hall of Takigakure Village.

It is located on the right.

Ah Jun stared wide-eyed at Mianma with an incredulous expression and asked.

"Ah, this is a message personally sent by the Third Tsuchikage. You may want to take a look, but this was expected. This Third Tsuchikage is a blatant realist. Attacking Kumogakure is the best course of action for their ninja village. You can all take a look."

Mianma chuckled softly, flicking the scroll in his hand toward Ajun as he spoke in a low voice.

Ah Jun caught it with his backhand, and after carefully reading through the contents recorded inside, the joy between his brows grew even stronger.
