"Of course, we also hope that you can help us get out of the current situation."

He added cautiously, his gaze, which deliberately lowered his status, revealing a hint of flattery.

After all, the fact that the opponent has raised a sliver of power, possesses a formidable subordinate, and dares to attack in front of the Five Great Ninja Villages all indicates one thing:

The other party is not afraid of the Kage of the Five Great Nations at all; their pursuit of ninja tools is for a bigger scheme.

Moreover, Bao Gui recognized those terrifying scarlet eyes; they were the Sharingan, unique to the Uchiha clan!

"You mean, you want to establish a cooperative relationship?"

Looking at the thin man in front of him who was full of expectation, Huang asked in a calm tone.

However, the leader of the 'Four Celestial Elephant People' seemed oblivious to the growing discontent of the boy before him, and instead, as if grasping at a lifeline, confidently added:

"right,"

"Moreover, I can guarantee that the Land of Craftsmen will give you priority access to the largest share of the first ninja tools they develop."

"Please believe in our status and voice in the village."

As the words were repeated, Bao Gui's expression became increasingly sincere.

After all, the opportunity for the Kingdom of Craftsmen to escape its fate seems to be right in front of us!

Unfortunately, the results that humans most expect often turn out contrary to their wishes.

Are you all making fun of me?

The cold, desolate voice rejected the statement, and the subordinates behind him unleashed chakra energy filled with killing intent the instant those words were spoken.

For a moment, the targeted 'Four Celestial Elephant People' were like a small boat adrift on a vast ocean, their entire bodies trembling.

And they are eager to say something and fight for something.

However, when faced with those aloof, scarlet eyes and the chilling murderous aura that seeped into their very bones, the four opened their mouths but none of them dared to utter a sound.

Because there is an indisputable fact:

That so-called voice in the land of craftsmen is utterly worthless in front of those guys in sight!

"The prerequisite for cooperation is having equal strength."

"Are you worthy?"

Of course, Huang didn't deliberately make things difficult for the four of them. After asking a cold question, he directly gave his reasons.

A simple question, "Are you a good match?", instantly plunged the "Four Celestial Elephant People" into a chilling abyss.

"Yeah, right."

"I wonder if the deeds of the Fourth Hokage of Kirigakure have been spread to the Land of Craftsmen."

“The person in charge doesn’t necessarily have to be you personally.”

He continued,

Their gazes were serene, their voices calm, showing no sign of anger.

At the same time, this declaration also directly and completely extinguished all hope for the four of them.

The boy in front of them truly had no intention of cooperating with them on an equal footing!

As for the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi, who had been controlled as a puppet for decades, he had recently become the object of their ridicule.

But little did they expect that such a situation might very well repeat itself on their own side.

"You...you are...Xiao?"

Intermittent words were squeezed out of Bao Gui's mouth.

He swore that he was truly trying his best to stabilize his trembling mind and use all his strength to find a way out of the murderous aura that filled the room.

But what can also be said with certainty is...

None of the guys in sight were clean; the blood on their hands and the sheer oppressive presence they created were almost suffocating.

It took all his strength to be able to ask the question out loud.

"Akatsuki Organization?"

"Once I've finished dealing with things around me, I'll naturally go back and settle accounts with them."

Huang's voice began to sound impatient.

As he said, neither side has an equal footing for dialogue.

Moreover, there are many alternative methods available.

The tolerance shown now is only because obtaining assistance from some craftsmen through the 'Four Celestial Elephants' is the simplest, most direct, and most effective way.

"Then you..."

Several miscalculations caused Gui Bao's knowledge and brain to become somewhat inadequate.

They snatched food from the mouths of the five great ninja villages and had a grudge against the emerging Akatsuki organization!

All these pieces of information added another layer of mystery to the powerful young man before them.

He wanted to ask again,

I want to express all the questions in my mind.

What exactly does the other party want to do? What faction do they belong to? And where did this Sharingan, unique to the Uchiha clan, come from?

However, his words were interrupted the moment he was about to speak.

"That's enough, you're asking too many questions."

"Right now, there's only one thing you need to consider: how do you want to live from now on?"

Such a rhetorical question immediately chilled the 'Four Heavenly Elephant Men' to the bone.

They naturally sensed the impatience in the boy's voice.

But how do you want to live?

Our side has clearly put forward its demands, wanting to achieve a fair and win-win cooperation, wanting to free the artisan village from the control of the five great ninja villages, and wanting the artisans to gain freedom and respect!

However, neither of the two options offered by the other party was what they wanted:

Will they be dominated by the Sharingan like the Fourth Mizukage, or will they choose to submit and submit outright?

Upon closer examination, what are the essential differences between these two?

They all sold themselves out, betrayed their villages, and became tools for others!

The only difference might be that the worship of the five great ninja villages has been changed to that of the other party alone.

Furthermore, it is important to clarify that once such a radical stance is chosen, it means placing oneself on the opposite side of the five great ninja villages.

Yes,

The group in front of them was very strong. Even among the five great ninja villages, they would definitely be top-tier Jonin. They would have no fear of facing an entire ninja village alone.

But to think you can take on five people at once is simply a pipe dream.

If word gets out and the five great nations discover this ambiguous relationship, the Kingdom of Craftsmen will inevitably suffer the most ruthless blow, and the four of them will become the sinners of the entire village.

Two choices,

From their current perspective, it would undoubtedly all end in destruction!

"Are you trying to drive our village to its doom, to make the four of us the eternal sinners of the village?"

"With this choice, we see no hope, and the future of the entire Kingdom of Craftsmen will remain the same as it is now."

During the brief standoff, Peacock, the only female among the Four Celestial Elephants, spoke with a sorrowful expression.

She neither directly refused nor flatteringly agreed.

After all, whichever conclusion is reached, there will be irreversible consequences.

Therefore, she chose to express her most direct concerns, and combined this with her natural gender advantage as a woman, to exaggerate her helplessness and sorrow to the extreme.

Even courtesans know the sorrow of a fallen nation; this is roughly the situation they were in.

just,

"You guys, have you misunderstood something?"

Huang frowned slightly.

Because what it wanted was never the entire Kingdom of Craftsmen.

"Does the future of the artisan village, the rise and fall of the artisan nation, concern me?"

Such words directly shattered the last bit of attack from the Four Heavenly Elephant Men, even the Peacock, who was trying to win some sympathy through tactful and roundabout means, was like a companion.

Sorrow and resentment lingered on her beautiful face.

Yes,

Yes!

Why would these ninjas, who possess absolute martial prowess, care about the rise and fall of these small countries?

Are you even qualified to discuss collaboration with me?

The other side had already made it clear that they would not agree to their demands, and their repeated, humble inquiries only brought them further humiliation!

"Then, we regret that we cannot comply!"

Their eyes met, and a sense of righteous indignation filled the faces of the four men. They raised their swords, but not at the strangers in their field of vision.

But yourself!

They had long ago realized the vast disparity in combat strength between the two sides.

Taking one's own life can at least preserve some dignity.

The dignity of a craftsman.

“I thought you were different, but now it seems you’re no different from those cowardly conservatives.”

Seeing this, Huang did not stop him.

As they envisioned, it didn't matter who was in charge of the artisan village.
