Chapter 343 Turning enemies into friends

The words of Bai Jue's clone were rough and unreasonable. After Onomu heard it, his heart suddenly shook.

Yes, the current situation in the ninja world is so serious. It is really uncomfortable for me to not quickly improve my strength, but to be held back by Sunagakure.

At this thought, Onoki couldn't help but feel resentful towards Sunagakure.

Don't you know what's going on with Sunagakure? You still have to take the initiative to fight. Is this because you are barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes? You want to muddy the waters of the ninja world so that you can fish in troubled waters, or to further reduce your own sense of existence?

If Ohnoki hadn't known that the person in power now had a great hatred between Sunagakure and Iwagakure, and there would be no room for relaxation, he would have wanted to temporarily surrender to Sunagakure and understand this bloody conflict by paying a sum of money in compensation.

Compared with the various horrific expenditures after the war, the compensation is really nothing. It can be regarded as spending money to buy peace and contribute to the peace of the ninja world.

"What do you want? If you ask me to cooperate so shamelessly, it shouldn't just be about reopening trade between the Kingdom of Earth and the Kingdom of Rain, right?"

Ohnoki was silent for a moment and then turned around again, speaking to the Bai Zetsu clone with strong vigilance.

At this point, Iwagakure actually doesn't have much choice.

Refuse to cooperate with Amegakure and fight Sunagakure alone, or join Amegakure and find an opportunity to pull Amegakure into trouble and share the pressure of the war.

Just these two options.

Obviously, from a literal perspective, the second option is more beneficial to Iwagakure.

"Lord Tsuchikage is indeed smart. You should also know about the situation in Amegakure Village. Amegakure is now empty-framed. If Hanzo and I hadn't managed to hold it together, it would have been gone long ago. I want to wait for the next generation to grow up and lead the ninja world. The current situation is definitely not enough time.

And once the war breaks out, Amegakure will definitely not be able to run away, and neither will Hanzo and I. By then, it will still be unclear whether Amegakure exists?

Therefore, I must find ways to allow Amegakure to be able to protect himself in the next ninja war as quickly as possible. Although relying on others may not be reliable, having a good ally is better than nothing.

The Tsuchikage-dono and I have never known each other before, and I know your character quite well. As long as our interests are consistent, you will definitely not stab me in the back like last time. "

Bai Jue's clone quickly put on a sincere face and said sadly.

The time for the next ninja world war is not far away. In order to deal with Uchiha Madara, he must try his best to win over other ninja villages. Even if he cannot pull them onto his own chariot, at least let them fight against Uchiha and Konoha. Haubara doesn't jump out and cause trouble during the decisive battle.

Now he uses the White Zetsu clone to express his intention to form an alliance with Onoki as the leader of Amegakure Village. In a sense, he is acting as a middleman to allow Iwagakure and Konoha to reach an alliance.

Although the relationship is that of allies, with Amegakure as a link, the two sides can still coexist peacefully.

He believed that with Onoki's political wisdom, he would be able to see the hidden information behind this alliance between Iwagakure and Amegakure.

"Huh, that sounds nice. If Iwagakure and Yugakure form an alliance, you Yugakure will get obviously more benefits. You are very calculating and want to have both sides, but how can such a good thing happen in the world? How sincere are you?

For me, as long as you exchange the five tails, everything will be easy to discuss. "

Onoki heard this and mocked.

Of course he would not really believe what Hattori Masashige said. The current situation in Amegakure Village was quite difficult, but it was not as serious as what Hattori Masashige said.

For example, there is such nonsense that the Amegakure Village is likely to be destroyed in the next ninja war.

He knew very well in his heart that as long as Hattori Masashige didn't die, Amegakure Village would not be truly destroyed. And with Hattori Masashige's current strength, as long as he focused on avoiding the battle, no one would bother to provoke him.

Therefore, Ame Hidden Village is very safe in a sense.

However, he personally believed Hattori Masashige's worry about the destruction of Amegakure Village. With Hattori Masashige's personality, he would not abandon Amegakure Village until the last moment.

After all, if you want to abandon it, you can do it in the last ninja war. There is no need to risk huge dangers and fight to the death with powerful enemies from all walks of life.

Moreover, he heard that the head coach had persuaded Tsunade to let Konoha help Yugakure, and even put aside his personal dignity to beg Tsunade shamelessly.

"Lord Tsuchikage, you are joking. Even if I want to return the Five Tails to you, I'm afraid Konoha will not agree. However, if you want to gain Amegakure's sincerity, I can still come up with some good things to share."

Bai Jue's clone had already noticed that Onoki was interested, so he decided to further strengthen the relationship.

As soon as he finished speaking, he took out a scroll from his body and threw it to Ohnoki.

When Onoki saw this, Muyin used the technique of earth escape and rock fist. His hands were instantly covered with a layer of stone skin, and then he caught the scroll steadily.

After he used some kind of detection ninjutsu to confirm that there was no manipulation on the scroll, he slowly opened the scroll and quickly browsed the contents.

"Is this true?"

Ohnoki took a rough look at the contents of the scroll, and was immediately shocked to the point of being a little incoherent.

The content on this scroll turned out to be an enhanced curse seal developed by Tohsaka Kirito of Konoha.

As for the powerful ninjutsu that can temporarily increase combat effectiveness, such as the Strengthening Seal, Iwagakure's intelligence department has long been eyeing it, and has been trying to steal this ninjutsu from Konoha, but it is said that this ninjutsu only belongs to Tohsaka Kirito. master.

If others want to obtain this ninjutsu, they can only ask Tohsaka Kirito.

As for how to obtain this ninjutsu from Tohsaka Kirito, there is a high probability that the only way is fair trade.

"Of course it's fake. Who is Tohsaka Kirito? His strengthening curse seal is so easy to get. This is a part of the manuscript that I accidentally obtained when Tohsaka Kirito was developing this ninjutsu and then imitated it. Things that come out.

Although the gap between it and the original version is not simple, and the side effects are not small, from the perspective of Lord Tsuchikage, you must understand the value of my low-end version of the enhanced curse seal. "

Bai Ze's clone was very satisfied with Onoki's expression at the moment and said with a smile.

The low-end version of the curse seal technique he gave to Onomu at this time was a further simplified version of the low-end version of the curse seal technique he gave to Konoha.

To put it simply, this low-end version of the Curse Seal is similar to the optimized version of the Tiger Curse Seal that Orochimaru gave to Mizuki. The spell medium does not need to use the blood of immortals, and can be replaced by medicinal materials and the blood of certain powerful creatures. , it has extremely side effects and requires krypton life to exert strong combat effectiveness.

But even so, such a low-end version of the enhanced curse seal still has great value, because it can also be used as a trump card when facing desperate situations, giving the user the ability to turn defeat into victory.

Onoki didn't speak. He took a deep breath and calmed down as quickly as possible, but he couldn't help but hold the scroll harder.

He naturally knows the value of this low-end version of the enhanced curse seal. Although it is a low-end version, the low-end version also has the benefits of the low-end version. The biggest advantage is that the conditions for use are greatly reduced, and it can be promoted among ordinary ninjas.

With this low-end version of the enhanced curse seal, Iwagakure's overall ninja strength will increase by at least 20% in a short period of time, which is much more reliable than his artificial man plan.

Moreover, Iwagakure can use this to continuously improve, without the need to conduct research and development from scratch, saving countless time.

It has to be said that the scroll in his hand is worth thousands of gold. I didn't expect that the bastard Yugakure in front of me would be willing to show such precious sincerity.

For a moment, he suddenly felt that Hattori Masashige was much more pleasing to his eyes.

"I see Yuyin's sincerity, what is your request?"

Onoki read all the contents of the scroll, then tried his best to smile and asked.

"My request is very simple. It's nothing more than helping each other. I think the transaction between us is fair and unhindered. What do you think? Lord Tsuchikage."

Bai Jue's clone said happily that a great deal has been accomplished.

"that's all?"

Onoki said very unexpectedly.

He thought that Hattori Masashige wanted Shishi to open his mouth and make some new excessive demands, but he turned out to be just seeking a fair and open transaction. This result really surprised him and made him feel unreal.

It's not that he has delusions of persecution. He really feels that the value of the scroll in his hand is very huge to Iwagakure, far exceeding the request made by Hattori Masashige.

"Yes, that's it. Lord Tsuchikage, the current situation is no longer suitable for calculating the interests too clearly as before. This will only be self-defeating and waste precious time. This is my sincerity. I hope you can understand. ."

Bai Jue's clone couldn't help but sigh when he saw that Onoki was worried and had serious feelings of being persecuted, fearing that there was a trap in this.

Ohnoki suddenly blushed when he heard what Bai Ze's clone said.

At the same time, he also felt a strong sense of identity in his heart.

Indeed, what time is it now? There is so much time for intrigues, so why not focus more on improving your strength.

Since Hattori Masashiro said so, he only needs to confirm the authenticity of the low-end version of the enhanced curse seal of the scroll in his hand, and then he can use it with confidence without thinking so much.

"I was rude. Okay, I will follow what Mr. Hattori said. However, when the trade will be reopened, I have to wait until I fully confirm the authenticity of this scroll. No problem."

Onoki quickly suppressed the shame in his heart and nodded to the Bai Ze clone.

Bai Jue's clone also nodded and said: "Of course there is no problem, but before I say anything ugly, the low-end version of the curse seal technique I developed has some serious side effects. It is best not to use it indiscriminately, otherwise your life will be in danger."

"Mr. Hattori, it's serious. It's a forbidden technique, so it's normal for it to be dangerous."

Onoki said disapprovingly.

In the ninja world, most of the ninjutsu that temporarily increase strength are forbidden techniques with huge side effects. The low-end version of the enhanced curse seal is already considered among them. There are not so many requirements for use, and it is one that can be learned easily. Powerful forbidden technique.

"Then I won't go into details, Lord Tsuchikage, and I won't waste your time anymore. People like you and I are not suitable to leave the village for too long."

Bai Jue's clone had already reminded him everything he needed to, so he stopped wasting time on Onoki and politely offered his resignation.

"I hope we will be comrades next time we meet. Goodbye."

Onoki said with a slight smile.

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and left without any hesitation.

Hattori Masashige was right. He couldn't leave the village for too long. It was time to go back. He couldn't wait to verify the authenticity of the scroll on his body.

At the same time, there is a huge volcano more than ten kilometers north of Iwagakure. This is the famous lava mountain of Earth Country. This is an active volcano. A large amount of black volcanic ash is constantly erupting from the crater. Its edge A large amount of magma also flowed out, causing a huge magma lake to appear at the foot of the volcano.

There is no doubt that this magma lake is a forbidden land for flesh and blood creatures, but few people know that this is actually the place where Lao Murasaki, the Four Jinchūriki of Iwagakure, has settled all year round.

For ordinary people, the magma lake is indeed a forbidden area of ​​life, but for Lao Zi, a jinchuriki who has mastered the limits of the Molten Release Blood Succession and developed the Molten Release Chakra Mode, the magma lake is actually just an ordinary lake.

He was immersed in the magma lake at this time, using the surrounding magma to continuously explore the limits of the blood inheritance of melt escape.

Since the end of the last war, when he witnessed the death of fellow Jinchuriki Han, he had become deeply aware of his own powerlessness.

So as soon as the war ended, he lived in seclusion here. On the one hand, he was at the request of that bastard Onoki to prevent him from getting out of control and harming the villagers. On the other hand, he was using the harsh environment here to hide from others and facilitate his cultivation.

Suddenly, Lao Zi, who was entering the molten chakra mode and sitting cross-legged at the bottom of the magma lake to practice, opened his eyes.

The next moment, his expression changed drastically and he left the magma lake as quickly as possible.

But he finally took a step slower. The surrounding magma was controlled by some kind of force and began to rotate at high speed, forming a terrifyingly attractive magma vortex.

He was entangled in this huge magma whirlpool and found it difficult to escape.

"Oops, I don't have much time left to take a breath."

Lao Zi thought anxiously.

Although he has the ability to bathe in magma thanks to the Molten Chakra Mode, he is still made of flesh and blood inside and still needs to breathe.

Therefore, every time he went to the bottom of the magma lake to practice, he would come up to the surface of the lake for a breather every once in a while.

The unknown enemy was obviously well prepared and knew something about his cultivation process, so he almost launched a sneak attack on him.

"Smelly old man, you are really annoying. You are hiding here and there are still people coming to trouble you."

When Lao Zi was in trouble, a very sarcastic voice suddenly sounded in his mind. It was the four-tailed Sun Wukong in his body who was gloating about his misfortune.

"Shut up, you stinky monkey, why don't you lend me your power quickly?"

When Lao Zi heard this, he immediately became angry and scolded Siwei directly.

Siwei turned a deaf ear to him. He had the same temper as Lao Zi and was very stinky. The relationship between the two was extremely bad. He usually wanted to see Lao Zi make a fool of himself and suffer a loss. How could he help him at this time?

Of course, Lao Zi did not expect the Four Tails to take the initiative to help him. He immediately forcibly extracted the power of the Four Tails through the stone seal in his body, allowing himself to quickly enter the tailed beast state.

A few seconds later, a huge explosion suddenly occurred in the magma vortex, and a huge magma turned into a fountain and surged high into the sky.

As a large amount of magma continued to fall under the influence of gravity, a humanoid monster covered in crimson energy and with two red tails appeared from the magma fountain. He landed on the magma lake and stared at the lake with animalistic eyes. There is a half-human, half-snake monster.

Lao Zi saw the appearance of this monster, and then instantly recognized its identity, and said in surprise: "Orochimaru, aren't you already dead?"
