Chapter 265 The Shadow of Onoki

"Kumogakure is a bandit, Sunagakure is weak, Kirigakure is caught in the blood mist chaos, and in the entire ninja world, only Onoki-senpai's Iwagakure Village can be our partner."

Unknowingly, Byakuya's name for Ōnoki had changed from Tsuchikage-sama to Ōnoki-senpai.

Ohnoki also heard the change in Bai Ye's name, but he didn't say anything more and happily accepted Bai Ye's name for him.

At the same time, I am also a little envious that Sanshouyu Hanzo can cultivate such an excellent heir.

If only his apprentice Deidara could live up to his expectations, even if it was only one tenth of the degree, he wouldn't cause trouble for him in the village all day long.

After pondering for a few seconds, Onoki gave a reply: "Boy Byakuya, I will consider your plan carefully, but the top priority is whether it is time to stop the fight between my apprentice and your village."

Bai Ye nodded, then took out a psychic contract and handed it to Ohnoki.

Ohnoki glanced at it and knew that it was a psychic contract. Byakuya wanted to use the psychic beast to establish a communication channel between Iwagakure and Amegakure.

Onoki accepted the psychic contract. He did not plan to sign the contract himself. He planned to let his subordinates try it when he returned. He did not know if there were any traps in the psychic contract.

After the negotiation, the two flew into the sky and rushed towards the location of Xiaonan and Deidara.

After seeing Byakuya able to fly in the sky, Ohnoki's eyes flashed with surprise. He didn't expect that this kid, in addition to the Wood Release Ninjutsu, also mastered the ability to fly.

There are very few ninjas in the ninja world who have the ability to fly, and most of them are achieved through raptor psychic beasts.

Ninjas who rely solely on their own flying are definitely one in a million, which means that even if Byakuya loses to his opponent in war, he can still retreat by flying.

Bai Ye enjoyed the feeling of being holy in front of others and couldn't help but speed up.

For him, the shock of a hundred ordinary ninjas is not as shocking as that of a Kage-level powerhouse, not to mention that Onoki is not an ordinary Kage-level powerhouse, but a genuine Five Kage.

Not long after, Byakuya and Onoki came to the place where Konan and Deidara fought.

I saw that the relationship between Konan and Deidara was coming to an end. In Konan's almost endless detonating talismans, Deidara had exhausted most of his strength and even had no chakra to maintain flight.

He has always been passionate about the art of explosions, but he lost to a female ninja in an explosion contest.

This severely damaged Deidara's confidence, and he even gave up on arriving, looking helplessly at Konan in mid-air.

Konan didn't kill Deidara, he just restricted Deidara's movements.

Firstly, it was because Byakuya hadn't appeared yet and she didn't know how Byakuya would deal with Deidara. Secondly, Deidara's identity was indeed sensitive, as he was a disciple of the Third Tsuchikage.

It is impossible for such a ninja to kill during non-war periods, unless she wants to provoke a war.

At this time, Xiao Nan was the first to sense the arrival of Byakuya and Onoki. After seeing Onoki flying in the sky, she was slightly dazed.

What did Byakuya do when she was fighting Deidara here?

Why would Bai Ye appear side by side with the Third Tsuchikage? Is there really any special temperament in Bai Ye that can increase the old man's affection for him?

When he saw Onoki's figure, Deidara was still slightly dazed. After rubbing his eyes, he confirmed that the short old man in front of him was his teacher.

"Old Onoki...Master, you are finally here, I..."

Deidara showed a well-behaved attitude for the first time in Onoki, just like a naughty child returning home to find his parents after being bullied outside.

Faced with Deidara's rare admission of mistake, Onoki not only did not feel happy, but frowned.

After landing next to Deidara, Onoki snorted and said: "Deidara, if you are not good at learning, don't go out to show off. I didn't know I told you that there are more strong people in the ninja world than you think."

Deidara nodded and said a little aggrievedly: "I understand, Mr. Onoki."

In the past, after hearing Onoki's scolding, Deidara would only agree verbally and not care in his heart. But after meeting Konan when he went out this time, he realized how cruel the outside world was.

It turns out that there is really someone in the ninja world who can surpass him in the art of explosion, and crush him to pieces.

At this time, Deidara noticed Bai Ye not far away, and asked curiously: "Teacher Onoki, why did you come here with him? Aren't they enemies who invaded the village? Didn't you just capture him?"

Onoki's face stiffened.

If he can capture Bai Ye, Bai Ye will naturally be a thief who invaded the village, but if the two sides are evenly matched, they can only be friendly partners.

In order to maintain his image in front of his apprentice, Onoki had to say:

"Byakuya Jounin and Xiaonan Jounin are both my guests. After I heard that you escaped from the solitary room, I specially asked them to teach you a lesson, so that you can understand the truth that there are people outside the world and there is a heaven outside the world."

Deidara's eyes were filled with shock, and he pointed at Onoki and said, "Old man Onoki, how could you do such a thing? I almost died for art just now."

Ohnoki touched his beard and pretended to be profound and said: "If you don't do this, how can you let your teacher do it? Don't blame the teacher. The teacher is doing this for your own good. It depends on whether you will pursue art in the future."

After Deidara pondered for a moment, he said seriously:

"It is impossible for me to stop pursuing the art of explosion. Today's battle with Jonin Xiaonan made me understand what the art of explosion is! I will continue to move forward on this path!"

When Ohnoki heard this, the smile on his face instantly froze, and he gave Deidara a violent shudder.

"Deidara, go back and reflect on your mistakes. Why are you still pursuing art? Look at how many years older you are by Byakuya Jounin and Konan Jounin. They have become the strongest ninjas in the ninja world."

Deidara said dissatisfied: "It's not because I didn't prepare enough clay, otherwise Xiaonan would definitely not be my opponent, and the same goes for Bai Ye. As long as he is well prepared, he will definitely not be my opponent."

After hearing Byakuya's name, Onoki's expression became much more serious: "Deidara, even if you are well prepared, you still cannot be Byakuye's opponent. That guy's strength is unfathomable."

This was the first time Deidara saw Onoki showing such an expression, and he asked doubtfully: "Old man Onoki, is the man named Byakuya really strong?"

Onoki nodded and said: "Very strong. His current strength is on par with mine. In the next few decades, he will definitely grow into a ninja that makes the ninja world tremble."

After speaking, Onoki sighed softly.

When he was young, he met ninjas like the First Hokage and Uchiha Madara, who were powerful in the ninja world. Their mere existence was enough to suppress the ambitions of the four major ninja villages.

He originally thought that such a strong man would never appear again in the future.

But after he entered his sixtieth year, such a monster appeared again in the ninja world. Although it may not reach the height of the first Hokage, it is enough to make him fearful.

Deidara didn't know what Onoki was feeling, but he remembered the teacher's expression at this moment, and deeply remembered the name Byakuya.
