Naruto: From the capture of the main family to the behind-the-scenes mastermind

Chapter 283 Equal Agreement
"How can it be!"

When Ōnoki informed the elders of the raid on the Hidden Mist Village, the entire meeting room was instantly filled with shock and anxiety.

An elder slammed the table, stood up angrily, and shouted in disbelief: "How could Kirigakure be so fast? What methods did they use?"

Ohnoki looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "The Mist Ninja used the water escape technique to open up a waterway on land, completely avoiding the traditional landing process and sailing directly to the daimyo's mansion."

Before he finished speaking, there was an uproar in the meeting room. The elders looked at each other, shocked and caught off guard by this tactic.

Is Kirigakure’s path so wild?

"There is no time to discuss. We must go to support the Daimyo Prefecture immediately."

Oonoki took a deep breath and began to give orders: "Elder Minamoto, you will take over the Anbu immediately and be responsible for protecting the village and ensuring that there is no worry in the rear. The real target of Kirigakure may be the Daimyo's Mansion, but we can't take it lightly and must be fully prepared."

Elder Yuan nodded solemnly: "Understood, I will immediately arrange for manpower to strengthen the village's defense."

Ohnoki continued, "The other elders will assist Elder Minamoto, and Elder Li will follow me to the Daimyo Prefecture for support. Kirigakure is acting so quickly this time, and it's obvious that they are well prepared. We must go all out."

After saying that, Ōnoki led an elder and quickly left the meeting room to assemble the troops.

On the way, Elder Li frowned and asked, "The Kirigakure is coming with great force. I'm afraid we won't be able to wait for support from the Fire Nation and the Lightning Nation if we rely on ourselves."

He didn't want to say discouraging words, but the current situation of Iwagakure was indeed very dangerous. Two Jinchuriki were captured, a large number of Jonin died in the fight with the Akatsuki organization, and even the clones now had a very strained relationship with them.

In this situation, Elder Li could not imagine the possibility of winning.

Ohnoki waved his hand, "I understand what you mean. Go talk to the clones. If they have any conditions, you can agree to them at your discretion. I give you the power to make the decision."

Elder Li breathed a sigh of relief, nodded, and quickly walked towards where No. 2 was imprisoned.

Dust Release Clone No. 2 is the leader of the clones. After the last battle with the Akatsuki organization, the other party voluntarily asked to be imprisoned. If the clones are required to contribute, an agreement must be reached with the other party.

In the face of national crisis, all available forces must be used. Clones are an important fighting force of the village, especially when facing strong enemies, their fighting power is irreplaceable.

A few minutes later, Elder Li walked to the cell where No. 2 was imprisoned and signaled the guard to open the door.

The heavy iron door slowly opened, making a harsh creaking sound. Inside the cell, No.2 was sitting cross-legged on the floor, resting his eyes. He looked very calm, as if he had anticipated Elder Li's arrival.

"Are there more enemies coming? If there were no enemies, Elder Yanyin would not come to such a place."

"Right, so Lord Ohnoki asked me to come and talk to you."

The elder wasted no time and said directly: "The village is now facing a new threat. The Kirigakure and Snow Country have joined forces to attack us. We need your help now."

"Agreement! I want an agreement, otherwise I will not let my compatriots go to the battlefield with you."

NO.2 stared closely at Elder Li.

"Huh? What agreement?"

"An agreement on equality between clones and ordinary citizens of the Land of Earth!"

Hearing this, Elder Li fell silent, quickly weighing the pros and cons in his mind.

NO.2 stared at Elder Li with a firm gaze, waiting for his answer.

He knew that this request would be difficult for the Iwagakure Village to accept, but this was what the clones had always demanded, and it was also a prerequisite for them to be willing to contribute to the Land of Earth again.

Elder Li took a deep breath and said tactfully, "No. 2, I understand your request. But you should know that such an agreement involves the fundamental system of the village and needs to be discussed and approved by all the elders. It is not something I can decide alone." No. 2 smiled coldly, "Why do we need the consent of all the elders? This is not the era of one country and one village. It only takes the consent of three generations, and he should have given you the power to make the decision."

In this extraordinary period, Ohnoki will not be stingy. Only when the Land of Earth is in crisis will their clones have a chance to get equal treatment.

Elder Li felt nervous and looked at No. 2 carefully for a moment. He realized that he had to bleed a little. He said helplessly, "Tell me your specific idea."

"First, the Equality Agreement must be signed and sealed by Lord Ōnoki himself to be legally binding." said NO.2.

"Okay." Elder Li nodded.

"Second, after the agreement is reached, clones will enjoy the same rights as ordinary citizens, including freedom of movement, participation in state affairs, and access to education and medical care..."

NO.2 continued.

Elder Li lowered his head and nodded thoughtfully, "Okay."

"Third, if the Land Kingdom violates the agreement, we have the right to take all necessary measures to safeguard our rights and interests." NO.2 said firmly.

Elder Li was originally thinking with his head down. When he heard the third person's words, which sounded more like a threat than a request, he suddenly looked up at No. 2 and quickly nodded helplessly, "This is your power."

NO.2's demands are the basic demands of citizens of the Land of Earth. It is obvious that the other party has considered them for a long time and did not leave him much room for questioning and manipulation.

But even if there are, the current situation in the Land of Earth is not suitable for offending clones, so try to be more tolerant.

Thinking about it, Elder Li reminded:

"But there is one thing I need to tell you. Your rebellion has caused the people in the Iwagakure Village to be very dissatisfied with you. Even if the agreement is signed later, you will probably not be able to take a single step in the Iwagakure Village."

"I see."

"Well, take your men to Damingfu for support as soon as possible."

No.2 shook his head and said calmly, "I will watch you finish everything and then lead everyone to provide support."

"……it is good!"

Elder Li calculated the time it would take for the Kirigakure battleship to reach Daming Prefecture and compared it with the time it would take for them to get to Daming Prefecture. He gritted his teeth and agreed.

The violent advance of Kirigakure will certainly consume the physical strength of their ninjas. They should rest for a while in the middle and catch up.

……

On the other side, Oonoki watched Elder Li leave, and first notified the troops that were originally planning to support the front line to change their target and head to the Daimyo's Mansion, and then found Otsutsuki Isshiki.

"According to Bai Shiki's report, Hinata Yu is also in the Kirigakure Fleet. Are you confident that you can kill him?"

Facing Oonoki's direct gaze, Otsutsuki Isshiki, who was sitting behind his desk, tapped the table lightly, pondered for a moment, and said:

"I am not sure."

The Samsara Eye is a special evolution of the Byakugan. In the entire Ōtsutsuki clan, there are not many people who possess the Samsara Eye, and Isshiki doesn't know as much about it as he does about the Rinnegan.

After all, the Rinnegan is related to the sacred tree. It is the eye technique that is second only to the Byakugan in difficulty to obtain. It is very common and relatively easy to obtain. All you have to do is find a planet and plant the sacred tree.

As for the Samsara Eye... I have only seen it in books, but have never seen it in person, so I can't guarantee it.
