Chapter 182 Ohnoki: All dead? !

"It's really a troubled time."

After listening to the intelligence reported by Huang Tu, Ohnoki lay on the hospital bed, frowned, and whispered: "Hanzo, the third Kazekage, it seems that they are not easy to deal with."

Hanzo led the Rain Country to openly declare war on the Wind Country and Sand Country, and in this short period of time, he has already made a great reputation.

No one could have imagined that a small country located between the three major countries, which has been suppressed by the three major countries for many years and is a victim of war, would actually have a "poisonous weapon".

Although in Ohnoki's opinion, it is far from the so-called "demigod" of the Rain Ninja, but Hanzo himself is indeed one of the best echelons under the Five Kage.

In addition, with the cooperation of the giant summoned beast, the Salamander Ibushi, the lethality on the battlefield can even exceed their Five Kage.

It is really difficult for the Sand Country commanded by the Third Kazekage to fight back and forth with Konoha and Rain Country under such circumstances.

"Oh, right." Ohnoki squinted his eyes as if he remembered something, "And that little brat who came out of nowhere..."

Most people only saw Hanzo standing in the light, shining brightly, but ignored the figure standing in the shadow, the figure who also played an important role in this incident and was indispensable.

It should be called Tsukimi Rikumokawa, right?

I really didn't expect that a noble son whose family was slaughtered and he was the only one left could struggle to crawl out from the depths of hell and hide in the dark for so long.

What's even more unexpected is that he really found an opportunity and bit the "enemy" hard on the neck.

Not only did he kill Musashi, who cooperated with the big country to clean up the war faction of the Rain Country, but he also reached a clear cooperation with Hanzo to defeat the Sand Village troops together.

If it weren't for the assistance of that little brat, Hanzo would never have won the battle with the Sand Village ninja so beautifully.

It can be said that it was the decisiveness and generosity of these two people that reversed the decline of the Rain Country, disintegrated the Sand Ninja troops from the front, and brought a glimmer of hope to the Rain Country now.

Let those big countries that originally looked down on them understand that they also have sharp teeth that can bite off a piece of meat from big countries.

Although Hanzo has never admitted this, the current situation where the two of them divide the river and rule can already explain a lot of things.

As long as the kid is not interested in the position of the leader of the Rain Village, as long as the kid does not reach out to the more prosperous and important south, Hanzo will ignore his expansion of power in the northern part of the Rain Country.

As long as the threat of the big country is not eliminated, the cooperation between the two is indestructible.

"But in this case, we won't be able to participate in the battle in the Land of Rain."

Huang Tu also had a sad face, but his tone was still very steady: "I'm worried that Sunagakure will be unable to cope with the attacks of Konoha and Hanzo at the same time."

Iwagakure and Sunagakure had already reached an alliance in secret, agreeing that as long as Sunagakure could successfully break through Konoha's defense line, their Rock Village would send troops to assist without saying anything.

In short, their calculations were very clear, and they only wanted to beat the dog when it was down, and they didn't plan to take the risk of intervening in the battlefield when the situation was uncertain.

They had already mobilized their troops, but the situation that was originally unfavorable suddenly changed, and two unexpected guys suddenly jumped out and slapped Sunagakure in the face.

"There's nothing we can do about it." Ohnoki shook his head and said calmly, "Don't forget, those guys in the Cloud Village haven't made any moves yet."

If they send troops to support the Sunagakure troops now, they can indeed form a pincer attack on the Land of Rain, but Ohnoki would never give such an order.

Because now the Cloud Village is still eyeing the northern seas of the Land of Earth, if they want to send troops, they have to split the main force in the village into two, and must leave a part at home to guard against the possible backstab of the Cloud Village.

Even he, the Tsuchikage, must stay in the village, otherwise not only will he fail to achieve the strategic goal of defeating the Rain Country and invading the Fire Country, but even his own territory may be trampled and ravaged by the Cloud Village.

Even if they can win, so what?

By then, when they come back after winning the battle, they will find that even their backyard has been stolen by others.

"What is Chiyo of Sunagakure doing? Didn't they say that everything is arranged?"

Huang Tu clenched his fists and frowned, "At this critical moment, she actually did such a stupid act of slaughtering civilians, touching the bottom line and forcing the Rain Village to get involved. What on earth is she thinking?"

Hanzo had already made public the "crimes" of Sunagakure when he declared war on the Wind Country.

More than 30 villages, nine towns, and a city were all damaged to varying degrees. More than 3,000 civilians were slaughtered, and the food resources were looted...

The Land of Rain was originally a small country with a harsh environment. It relied on the development of heavy industry and fisheries to support itself. The domestic economy has not been very prosperous since the last Ninja World War.

In addition to this Ninja World War, everyone is in danger, and the banditry has continued for years, and the population loss is even more serious.

This number is a very heavy loss for the Land of Rain.

Not to mention Hanzo and the ninjas of the Hidden Rain Village, even the pig-like Daimyo of the Land of Rain would sit up from the bed and get angry when he saw this number.

If the Hidden Sand Village had not slaughtered civilians so rampantly, the Hidden Rain Village would never have torn its face directly at this time, and the war faction headed by Hanzo would not have found such a good opportunity.

Ame Gakure's sudden intervention completely disrupted the joint layout of Iwagakure and Sunagakure, causing the plan to invade the Land of Fire to completely fail. Loess would inevitably complain about Sunagakure's stupid behavior in his heart.

After all, this is a rare fighter opportunity, so I missed it like this!

"No, no, no, that old woman Chiyo is not too old to be confused yet. It is at an important moment when Konoha's defense is about to collapse. It is unlikely that she will make such an unwise move."

Facing his son's thoughts, Onoki shook his head, with a sneer on his face: "There is no evil behind this from Konoha, just cut off my head and hang it at the entrance of the village!"

"If I guess correctly, I'm afraid it was Danzo Shimura who did something good!"

Hearing this, Huang Tu was obviously stunned for a moment, then looked at the information in his hand and blurted out: "Is it the 'Darkness of Shinobi' mentioned by Yang Yan Village and Takigakure Village?"

"...Kageromura and Takigakure called him 'Ninja Darkness'?"

Seeing Huang Tu's expression, Ohnoki understood instantly and couldn't help but laugh: "Oh, it's really just a wrong name, not a wrong nickname, it's just a rat in the gutter."

The defense line on Orochimaru's side collapsed immediately. As a result, Danzo rushed to the front line with the Konoha Anbu. The next day, the Sunagakure Village suddenly exploded with thunder, and a vicious massacre occurred in the Amegakure Village.

How could such a coincidence happen?

Although I don’t know what kind of disguise method can deceive Hanzo, it is obvious that he used frame-up and borrowed money to kill people.

"I don't think it matches."

However, Huang Tu shook his head and said with a slightly gloomy expression: "If it were changed to 'Shit Stirrer', this title would be more appropriate."

"Sent a pursuit team disguised as Takigakure to kill the family members of the leader of Kageroyan Village. They cut the bodies of his wife and children into pieces and scattered them around his office. They killed the people alive and stirred up trouble in Takigakure. Dispute with Yangyan Village.”

"Although they are all ninjas, what that guy did was so bottomless and disgusting."

Hearing this, Ohnoki, who thought he was thick and dark, couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help laughing loudly: "I see, I thought it was his first time to do such a thing, but it turns out he is familiar with it!"

"Senju Tobirama really taught a good disciple! If he knew that his disciple 'sacrificed' so much for the victory of Konoha, I wonder if he would be so moved that he would kick open the coffin board and jump out, hahaha!"

Onoki couldn't help but want to laugh at the thought of Konoha's reputation being ruined.

But thinking of his current fragile waist, he just had to suppress the gloating in his heart, coughed, looked at Huang Tu and said: "The matter has come to this, we have no choice but to stand still..."

"However, although I cannot directly assist Sunagakure Village, I still have someone arrange for backup."

Huang Tu took a scroll from Ohnoki. After opening it, he couldn't help but be slightly surprised when he looked at the name on the scroll.

"Kakuzu, shadows, black warriors, monks, and bounty ninjas and teams of all sizes. Father, did you actually hire so many people to explore the power of Kumikawa in Tsukimi?"

Shadow has a great reputation in the black market. Konoha has offered a reward of tens of millions of taels but failed to catch him. He has been sent to hunt down the kid several times but all have failed.

Not to mention Kakuzu, who has the title of "Immortal", his mission completion rate in the underground black market is close to 100%, and he has several kills of A-level rebel ninjas and elite jounin.

There are also the Black Warriors and the Monks. The leaders of these two gangs are tough guys.

Although the era of warriors and monks has long passed, Loess will not underestimate these two groups.

Since they were able to flourish before the advent of the one-country-one-village era, and still be famous after the advent of the one-country-one-village era, it shows that they all have their own abilities.

The black market is a place where good and bad people are mixed. There are no people of any kind, but there are only good people. Those who can survive on this platform and make a famous name must be people with countless blood on their hands.

but……

"Let them go together to explore the intelligence, isn't it a bit overkill?" Huang Tu asked tentatively.

"It was just a test in the first place. When they come back, we will see who brings the most information. We can deepen the relationship, focus on training, and let them handle some of the dirty work that cannot be seen in the light."

Ohnoki said bluntly: "These bounty ninjas and teams are relatively valuable, and they are all experts with rich combat experience. As long as the money is available, they will flock to it even if it is a narrow escape mission. If used well, they can bring us good results." "

Regarding his father's words, even the honest and honest Huangtu did not express any objections. He just nodded and acquiesced to Ohnoki's approach.

Where there is light, there must be shadow.

Although their Iwagakure Village now has tens of thousands of ninjas, they have saved this by tightening their belts little by little.

In the current situation of the ninja world, if they are sent to do some tasks, there is a high probability that there will be casualties.

It is better to leave these dangerous tasks to those bounty ninjas who work hard for money. For them, the loss is just some money.

The resources required to train an excellent jounin are much more expensive than hiring a rebel ninja at the jounin level.

As for the character and behavior of those bounty ninjas, they didn't care, they just wanted to take advantage of the power of the underground black market.

"Counting the time, they should be sending back the information soon."

Onoki looked up and said, "While the reserve funds are still sufficient, you need to contact some bounty ninjas in the future and let them serve as cannon fodder in the future. It can also save some money..."

Bang bang!

Before Onoki finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.

Ohnoki was choked, frowned in dissatisfaction, and said in a deep voice: "Come in."

As soon as the voice fell, an Anbu ninja from the Hidden Rock Village pushed the door open without hesitation, knelt on one knee in front of Ohnoki's bed, and bowed his head and said: "Lord Tsuchikage, there is an urgent report!"

Hearing the word "urgent report", Ohnoki's heart suddenly jumped, swallowed the words of blame, and said coldly: "Speak!"

"Shadow, Black Warriors, Monks and more than a dozen bounty ninjas and teams were completely wiped out, and no one survived."

"...What did you say?"

The expression on Ohnoki's face gradually changed, and he looked at the Anbu ninja in astonishment: "All dead? How is it possible?"

In his opinion, those bounty ninjas and teams, the strongest and most famous ones, are already not weak, and their strength is not much worse than that of the elite ninjas of the five major ninja villages.

Unless they encounter the troops of the five major countries, how could they all die?

Even if it is the five major countries, if they want to wipe them all out without leaving a single one alive, they will need the five Kage to do it themselves, or send out a small force.

"Did they encounter the forces of the other four major ninja villages?" Ohnoki felt that this was the only possibility.

But the Anbu ninja shook his head and said dryly: "No, according to the intelligence, after we have confirmed it in every possible way, it was not done by other ninja villages. They died in... that Dawn City."

"Also, those bounty ninjas and teams who have accepted the mission have also returned the deposit. They also sent back a photo and said, said..."

"What did you say?" Ohnoki's expression was stiff and his tone was cold, "Say it!"

"He, they said that they have done their best. I'm sorry they can't bear this burden. Please find someone else!"

The Anbu ninja trembled, presented the photo to Ohnoki with both hands, and trembled and lowered his head, not daring to look directly at it: "This, this is the photo they sent back."

Ohnoki grabbed the photo before Huangtu. The moment he saw the photo, he felt a surge of blood rushing to his head, and his old face instantly turned the color of liver.

There were dozens of heads hanging outside the city gate, floating in the wind, like a row of sunny dolls or a row of air-dried bacon, looking extremely weird and terrifying.

At a glance, Ohnoki saw several familiar faces.

"That damn kid! Just kill him, but who are you hanging outside for?" Ohnoki's face turned pale, and he slapped the pillow hard, shouting, "Hanging the heads for public display? Or killing chickens to scare us?! I'm going to..."

Crack!

With a crisp sound of excessive force, Ohnoki's face turned pale.

"Ah! My waist!"
