Chapter 172: Oonoki Sets the Flag

After Onoki received the news that Ghost Lantern City was invaded.

The first reaction was that someone hired "Red Moon" to try to release the thousands of serious criminals inside.

But after carefully looking through the intelligence collected by ANBU, Onoki was shocked by the tragic situation at the battle scene.

This is exactly like the Valley of the Moon a few years ago.

Even more terrifying.

And the result of that Battle of Moon Valley...

Raiyin Village announced to the outside world that the Fourth Raikage Ai and the Eight-Tailed Jinchuuriki Kirabi were practicing in seclusion.

But the real situation is that the Fourth Raikage has been recuperating for nearly half a year due to his injuries, while Kirabi has been hiding in Yunlei Gorge to seek ways to become stronger.

Ohnoki didn't think that many prisoners could escape alive from the hands of "Tian Zhizhong" in this kind of precedent.

"Is there someone who wants to use this incident to make an excuse, or to sow discord between countries?" Ohnoki's old face wrinkled up.

Since the last ninja war.

Although the situation between the countries seems to be very stable, Onoki, who has matured as a man, understands that the end of each ninja war is the beginning of the next ninja war.

The five major ninja villages, including Iwagakure, have been secretly accumulating strength.

"Huangtu, do you think there is someone behind this?"

Ono asked without looking up: "I don't think there is anything worth caring about in Ghost Lantern City. On the contrary, it would be different if their real target is our Earth Kingdom."

If we look at it from the surface, this matter should have nothing to do with the Kingdom of Earth.

But the Ghost Lantern City in the Kingdom of Grass is right next to the southeastern border of the Kingdom of Earth.

This couldn't help but make Onoki suspicious.

After all, he has done similar things before.

"Father, are you saying that on the surface they are attacking Ghost Lantern City, but in fact they are eyeing the southeastern border of Earth Kingdom?"

Standing behind Ohnoki, the unusually tall Loess pondered for a moment while looking at the ANBU's information.

Immediately, he said in a calm tone: "Father, I think this is unlikely."

"oh?"

Onoki asked without changing his expression: "Tell me what you think."

"It has only been four or five years since the Third Ninja War. I don't think the other ninja villages are ready to deal with the Fourth Ninja War."

Although this sounded reasonable, Onoki still sighed secretly in his heart.

"After all, the heart of this child Huang Tu is not dark enough."

Although Onoki is older, his eyesight is still there after all.

Loess's personality and strength are considered all-round, and he is more than capable of serving as the commander-in-chief of the Iwagakure troops.

But sometimes, omnipotence equates to mediocrity.

He only saw the human factor in ninja warfare, but ignored the most important point.

"The Great Ninja War from beginning to end is not something that one person or even a village can control."

Needless to say, Yunyin Village has a martial arts sect throughout the village. They have been developing their own military strength.

However, Sunagakure Village, which has the weakest overall strength, has always had serious internal conflicts.

Although they have always been the troublemakers in the ninja world, their ambitions have never been much worse than that of Kumogakure, and in recent years their military thinking has been no less than that of Kumogakure.

If it can bring enough benefits to Sunagakure Village, then they will not refuse to initiate a war.

Coupled with the Uchiha genocide in Konoha and the Blood Mist in Kirigakure Village...

Nowadays, the undercurrent of the ninja world is like a tightly stretched string.

As long as there is any slight disturbance, the string is likely to break.

Therefore, I would rather believe that it exists than believe that it does not exist.

The consequences of the Ghost Lantern City incident must be considered in the worst direction.

"Oh, I've really had enough of playing tricks with a bunch of young people every day."

Onoki held his forehead, sighed deeply and said, "If they were as worry-free as Sarutobi Hiruzen, I guess the old man would have abdicated in favor of others."

In this ninja world where the average age is no more than forty years old, he is now seventy years old and can be said to be buried up to his neck in loess.

But Iwagakure really couldn't find a young man who could take over the Tsuchikage's position.

loess?

He could only become the Tsuchikage's "spear".

Terracotta?

He can only be the Tsuchikage's "shield".

If you really have to choose someone to become the Tsuchikage...

"That boy Deidara is a suitable candidate."

Although Deidara is still young, he has already mastered the Blood Succession Limit and Explosive Escape.

Even among the Iwagakure demolition force, it is the main combat force.

"Explosive Escape" is formed by the fusion of two chakra properties, fire and earth.

The "Blood Succession Elimination·Dust Escape" he possesses is a fusion of the three properties of wind, earth, and fire.

With that kid's talent, he could quickly learn "Dust Escape" if he wanted to.

However, Deidara has another shortcoming that needs attention.

"loess."

Ohnoki knocked on the table and asked, "That brat Deidara is now..."

Just didn't wait for him to finish.

boom! ! !

A thunderous explosion seemed to resound throughout the entire Iwagakure Village.

Even sitting in the Tsuchikage's office, one can feel a very strong vibration.

"hiss!"

Huang Tu stared blankly at the light and dust mist of the explosion in the distance, and couldn't help but gasped and complained: "Is this what that kid calls art? Does he want to use art to blow up the village to the sky?!"

He didn't even need to look to know that the noise was definitely caused by Deidara.

The guy who likes to study the so-called "momentary art".

"... Bullshit art! It's clearly a terrorist attack!"

Onoki was so angry that his face turned black, and he gritted his teeth and said, "This kid really makes me worry. Does he know that the villagers are already very dissatisfied with him now!"

When he was angry, he waved his arms a little more.

Suddenly, there was a crisp "click".

"Ouch!"

Onoki covered his waist with a distorted face and said, "My old waist! I'm so angry!"

If this goes on, don't even think about inheriting the position of Tsuchikage.

He probably can only let Deidara live outside the Hidden Rock Village like Old Purple.

"Father, calm down first."

Huang Tu comforted with a helpless look on his face: "I'll go see Deidara first."

After that, he turned and walked out of the office and ran towards the direction of the explosion.

After Huang Tu left, Ohnoki sat back in his chair with a grin.

Bang!

"My efforts are in vain!"

He slammed the table hard and angrily scolded: "How can this kid inherit the position of Tsuchikage if he is so naughty!"

After a moment, he sighed deeply.

"Alas! Forget it, that kid is still too young..."

Looking at the smoke and dust in the distance, Ohnoki muttered to himself: "At least while I am still alive, I can ensure that the kid grows up healthy and safe."

I just don't know how many more years he can borrow from God?
