Naruto, the strongest Uchiha from signing in.

Chapter 166: Each other’s plans

"What! This request is too much, the Hidden Cloud Village cannot agree to it!"

After receiving the secret letter from Luo Sha to the Hidden Cloud Village, the Hidden Cloud Communication Squad analyzed it immediately, and the reply they received made the Fourth Raikage reject it outright.

"You must be kidding! With the cooperation of all the Jinchūriki except the Nine-Tails and the Seven-Tails, do you know how powerful this force can be?"

"One tailed beast is like a natural disaster. With the cooperation of all the Jinchūriki of the four major ninja villages, what those Akatsuki guys want to destroy is not Konoha, but the entire world!"

The Fourth Raikage was furious. Although he had already expected the Akatsuki organization to ask for such a high price, he still didn't expect that they would dare to offer such a high price.

"Fourth Raikage, Akatsuki's proposal may not be a bad thing for the village."

When several people heard this, they turned around and looked, sensing Ninja Xi's serious expression, and expressed their own opinions.

"Uchiha Kagetsu, that terrifying guy, his strength has long been beyond imagination. Excuse me, even if the five Kage join forces, they may not be able to defeat that kind of existence."

"Xi! Don't boost others' ambitions and destroy your own prestige..."

"Shut up, Darui, and keep talking, Xi."

The Fourth Raikage rebuked Darui for blurting out his words and instead fixed his gaze on Xi, motioning him to continue.

"Yes, Lord Raikage, judging from what Uchiha Kagetsu did in the Hidden Cloud Village, three Kage-level fighters are not able to force him into a desperate situation."

"In addition to Uchiha Kagetsu, there are also the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen and the Hokage's advisor Shimura Danzo in Konoha Village, and there are many elite troops under them."

At this point, the Fourth Raikage's face turned ashen. If he hadn't been afraid of returning to the war-torn era when the five major countries fought each other and the Fire Nation ultimately benefited, he would have personally gone to Konoha to bury Uchiha Kagetsu with him!

"Because of this, Konoha Village is the strongest among the five ninja villages. Compared to the current Konoha, all five members of Akatsuki are Kage-level fighters, and their strength should not be underestimated."

As a perceptive ninja, Xi came to a conclusion based on his rational judgment of both the enemy and himself, as well as the six parties.

"Lord Raikage, if you want to completely defeat Uchiha Kagetsu, you will need at least multiple levels of Kage-level combat power."

"Besides that, after Konoha is destroyed, it will be the time for Kumogakure to divide Konoha with several other major ninja villages. By then, if we can reduce a Kage-level combat force, we can gain more benefits for Kumogakure."

Having said that, the Fourth Raikage fell into deep thought, weighing the pros and cons.

As the head of a village, the Fourth Raikage is just reckless but not stupid. He will naturally weigh the probability of success and how much benefit he can gain for his village.

"With seven Jinchūriki and five Kage-level fighters, what are the chances of destroying Konoha?"

The Fourth Raikage had a heavy expression on his face, making such a huge bet was a first for him, the Raikage.

"One hundred percent, but I can only say that I am fifty percent sure of killing Uchiha Kagetsu. No one knows whether Uchiha Kagetsu has any hidden cards."

"But you can't control the aftermath of a battle, just like..."

Xi hadn't finished speaking when everyone present recalled the humiliating war that took place several years ago.

"That's enough. Ask the medical team when you can recover completely. Be ready to fight Konoha at any time!"

After these words were spoken, everyone couldn't help but look at each other. The peace had only lasted for a few years, and the Fourth Ninja World War was about to break out?

At the same time, in the Iwagakure Village.

Ohnoki sneered. He never thought that Akatsuki would dare to ask for such a high price. But this was just right. He could take this opportunity to warn Lao Zi and make him contribute to Iwagakure again.

"I have to go out for something. When Deidara comes back, I will ask Huang Tu to take him out of the village. If he dares to experiment with ninjutsu in the village again, humph!"

Ōnoki snorted coldly, and in a blink of an eye he flew out of the village and headed towards the outside of the Iwagakure Village.

More than ten miles away from Yanyin Village is where Lao Zi practices hard.

The entire ninja world's attitude towards the Jinchūriki is hatred and isolation, and the Iwagakure Village, as one of the five major countries, is naturally no exception.

Compared to the Five-Tails Jinchuriki Han who has always worked for Iwagakure, the Four-Tails Jinchuriki Lao Shi does not get along well with Ōnoki.

Therefore, Lao Zi, who was originally a Iwagakure ninja, became a monk in anger and chose to become a ninja monk.

He usually obeys orders and not announcements, which causes a lot of trouble to Daye Mu Tou.

When Ōnoki flew over, Lao Zi was practicing hard in a forest and was not surprised at all by the arrival of the Tsuchikage.

"You plan to spend your whole life here?"

"The right and wrong in the ninja world has nothing to do with me. If Lord Tsuchikage is here to give me a lecture, then let's not discuss it."

Lao Zi spoke indifferently, completely ignoring Oonoki's ugly expression.

As the Four-Tails Jinchuriki, he is a dangerous existence to the Iwagakure Village and even the entire ninja world. Even Lao Shi, who has mastered the Dust Release Technique, cannot force him to surrender.

Living alone in the mountains, without any relatives or friends, and having no interest in worldly desires, this is the person that even Ohnoki, who is known as the two heavenly scales, finds difficult to deal with, Lao Zi.

"Even if the right and wrong of the ninja world has nothing to do with you, if one day in the future, the hometown where you were born and raised was razed to the ground, can you still maintain your current peace?"

Oonoki's words were like a sharp sword, which made the calm Lao Zi quite confused, and then he remembered something.

"Are you talking about the strange ninjutsu that appeared near the Iwagakure Village that day?"

"Yes, that is the ninjutsu used by Uchiha Kagetsu, who is as famous as the Yellow Flash among the Five Great Ninja Nations."

"As a price, I will not take action without authorization during the Third Ninja World War, otherwise the entire Iwagakure Village will be destroyed."

At this point, Oonoki sighed, his tone sincere and from the heart.

"If the Fourth Shinobi World War begins, all of us in Iwagakure will die at the hands of the Uchiha, and the entire ninja world will be in danger. The danger of the Uchiha is like their eyes, the more powerful they are, the more unstable they are."

"This time, and for the last time, as long as you agree to cooperate with the village and carry out the plan to destroy Konoha, from now on you will be a free ninja, and the Iwagakure Village will allow you to leave the territory of the Land of Earth."

The two men looked at each other. Lao Zi looked at Ohnoki deeply and saw the firmness of Yanzhi's will in him. Lao Zi nodded slightly.

"This is not for you, but for the village that gave birth to me and raised me."

Hearing this, Oonoki curled his lips and turned away.

"It is better for Uchiha Kagetsu, the history of the God of Ninja, to disappear in the long river of history. Uchiha Madara's power should die with the first Hokage!"

Several months later, in the Hidden Mist Village, the Fourth Mizukage lowered his eyes, looked at Bubble who was being detained by a group of Anbu, and shook his head slightly.
