Chapter 225 You, from a small ninja village, dare to lecture me?
Spreading rumors and slander.
They have ulterior motives; they really have ulterior motives.
Onoki doesn't think he had this intention. He thinks he's being framed. He thinks it's all your doing, Uchiha Hakumochi. Otherwise, why would this happen?
Although he couldn't understand why Kakuzu and his gang existed, the question was whether he had hired them or not—how could he not know?
I had no idea, so this is a setup.
But who framed them?
Uchiha Hakumu?
Will it be?
While Onoki was having a headache over this, Kakuzu below continued to voice his opinions, expressing strong dissatisfaction with the matter.
"Third Tsuchikage, are you not going to honor your debt? We won't honor it unless the money is in place."
"Kakuzu, don't cause trouble. The leader made the arrangements. Are you worried about not getting paid?" Sasori was very dissatisfied with this. Doing a mission is doing a mission. Why are you fussing about money? Is it any of your business to worry about this?
Since it was arranged by the leader, he must be in charge of the money. What can you do?
Does he really think he's Xiao's financial manager?
That's a joke, don't make me laugh.
“Uchiha Hakubaki, I am Hiruko.”
Hiruko only had eyes for Shiramu, so he immediately addressed Shiramu.
Bai Mu glanced at it and casually said, "Oh? 833 Hiruko, so you joined the Akatsuki organization. As a rogue ninja of Konoha and a villain who killed the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, you've come here today to seek your own death."
"Bullshit, I didn't."
Upon hearing this, Hiruko immediately lost his composure.
Why are they framing me for something I didn't do? Who did it? Which bastard is the biggest beneficiary of this...?
who is it?
Konoha?
It seems to make sense.
Hiruko had doubts, thinking that Konoha was behind it, or that Hakubaki had arranged it, but the problem was that everyone said it was him, so could it really be him?
Sometimes, he doubted himself, but he quickly suppressed those doubts because he really hadn't done it.
"Whether you did it or not is not up to you to decide; the evidence speaks for itself." Bai Mu didn't care about any of that. Anyway, you're just a scapegoat. It doesn't matter if you say it wasn't you, because if I say it was you, then it was you.
"Shut up!" Onoki was extremely agitated and naturally disagreed. He had now discovered Bai Mu's intentions; these people were probably arranged by the other party...
Yes, possibly.
Thinking of this, Onoki immediately accused Hakumu: "In my opinion, it was you, Uchiha Hakumu, who brought these people here to frame my Iwagakure."
Who doesn't talk nonsense?
Everyone understands this, and everyone can do it.
“I don’t know any of them, but Hiruko is a traitorous ninja of Konoha and a villain who killed a daimyo. Such a cancer in the ninja world cannot be allowed to live.”
Bai Mu said in a serious tone, his words full of sarcasm towards Onoki, saying that he actually cooperated with an organization that harbored villains like Hiruko, and that it seemed that the moral standards of your Iwagakure were not very good.
Based on this logic, it's not surprising that he targeted a pregnant woman, so he's highly suspicious, and you, Ōnoki, can't clear your name.
Ohnoki: "..."
They're distorting the truth here again.
Onoki, of course, could not accept this and shouted, "Bullshit, bullshit! You can make something that never happened sound so convincing. It was definitely you, Uchiha Hakubaki, who did this..."
"No means no. You talk too much." Bai Mu said coldly, and Susanoo drew his sword. The golden sword swung down, and golden flames descended from the sky.
They landed on the battlefield, but most of them were heading towards Onoki. When Onoki saw this, he knew that ordinary ninjutsu would not work and that he would have to use Dust Release to block this wave of flames.
Onoki activated Dust Release to block Hakuba's wave of fire attacks; the raging golden flames seemed intent on devouring everything...
He might be fine, but the Iwa ninja below him will definitely suffer, and there will be many casualties.
Sure enough, just one glance almost gave Onoki a stroke, because below were countless Iwa ninja wailing in agony, and there were countless charred corpses. So how many people must have died?
To be honest, the situation is already very bad for Onoki.
“Let’s deal with Uchiha Hakubaki,” Hiruko said to Onoki, his meaning clear: to join forces to kill Hakubaki.
Ohnoki: "..."
What's wrong with you, a Konoha rogue ninja?
But the question is, can he refuse? The situation is unfavorable now. Although these people don't know what's going on, since they've come to help, why not agree?
Although he knew that agreeing would definitely cause great harm, but...
What does it mean to agree?
Why don't I just stay silent and not express my opinion?
Even if I'm just deceiving myself, so what?
Yes, Onoki found a suitable reason for his daughter, or rather, a reason to deceive himself. Whether it was acceptable or not, it was fine as long as it was there.
"See? Everyone said it was you who arranged it. It turns out that's true. Third Tsuchikage, your conspiracy is about to be exposed." Seeing this, Bai Mu naturally continued to pin the blame on Onoki, determined to make sure that Onoki was completely innocent and could not be cleared of any wrongdoing.
Onoki remained silent, determined to let his actions speak for themselves. "I'll continue with my Dust Release technique. I'm going to kill you, you despicable bastard."
Of course, if these people can help us force you to retreat, that would be a good thing. But I'm afraid they won't be able to, otherwise it would be a real problem.
After all, judging from the strength that Bai Mu and the others have shown so far, it is really difficult to deal with them, and the village may not be able to hold on.
If we really can't hold on, the problem is indeed too big. I can't just give in, can I?
Onoki would definitely not be able to accept losing to a junior; it would be a huge loss for Iwagakure.
Without a doubt, it's simply unacceptable.
"Enough with the nonsense. Why don't you just do it?" Kakuzu was speechless. The employer clearly didn't want to admit it, so what was the point of shouting? Just attack, understand?
Once you make a move, that shrewd Ōnoki will know what to do. If Ōnoki hadn't said he wouldn't pay, I wouldn't have gotten so worked up and exposed myself. But there's still a chance to salvage the situation...
Hiruko: "..."
You come from a small ninja village, and you dare to lecture me?
Who gives you the right to point fingers? It's ridiculous, utterly ridiculous.
Although Hiruko was very dissatisfied, there was really nothing she could do. She had to swallow her opinions no matter how strong they were, because the leader's words were very clear: the safety of Iwagakure must be guaranteed.
To put it bluntly, their core mission was to defeat Uchiha Hakumoku and his group. The problem is that this wasn't their intention before they came. How did things suddenly change?
Did he really accept Onoki's offer of employment?
What exactly is this organization up to?
He joined purely out of necessity.
Unable to defeat Nagato, Hiruko had no choice but to accept his fate and join him, or die. What was the option? Hiruko knew all too well, but now he might have a chance to become stronger.
The Demon Sprout Technique requires a fifth bloodline limit, and the Sharingan is perfect for it. I want to achieve immortality and become a true immortal god, at which point no one will be my match.
Chapter 226 Hiruko: I'll go, I'll go!
"Kakuzu, you have no right to order me around."
Hiruko had his own plans, and Kakuzu's arrogant words displeased him.
“I’m not giving you orders, I’m just letting you know what to do.” However, Kakuzu responded to Hiruko’s question calmly.
Arrogant?
You've never seen true arrogance.
Also, you'd better be serious about whether you can handle Uchiha Hakumu. Don't tell me you'll get beaten up; that would be really embarrassing.
"Hmph, we'll see."
Seeing this, Beiliu Hu could only snort coldly and say no more.
Bai Mu, however, sneered at Onoki: "Third Tsuchikage, I've figured out your Iwagakure's scheme. It seems you had it all planned out in advance, just to lure us here and then deal with us..."
After a pause, Bai Mu smiled and continued, "Well, I'm afraid they're going to kill us."
Alright, as expected, this is your scheme, Iwagakure.
Ohnoki: "..."
We've all been misunderstood like this?
Never mind, the key now is to resolve the current crisis.
The surprise attack on Iwagakure by Bai Mu and his men has already caused too many casualties, with hundreds already dead. Although there are many cannon fodder, there are no shortage of elites.
If things continue like this, the elite ninjas of Iwagakure will keep dying, which is something Onoki cannot accept.
We must stop it; we can't let this continue.
I can't just sit here and wait to die.
"Dust Release Limit Peeling Technique!"
Onoki didn't intend to hold back anything and directly chose the upgraded version of Dust Release. This time, he was going to stop being stingy with chakra and try to erase Hakubaki's Susanoo.
"I told you, you can erase this Susanoo, but you can't kill me." Bai Mu's figure slowly appeared behind the white light.
Dust Release is powerful, but it's useless against me.
Onoki's expression changed drastically. He looked at Bai Mu, who had appeared, with an extremely gloomy expression, and said in an unfriendly tone, "If you can't kill me even after all this, then there's really a problem..."
Did you try your best?
I really tried my best.
