I unleashed a Hundred Demons Parade in the Ninja World

However, this does not mean that they should cooperate with a cunning and treacherous person.

After all, this is a dangerous guy that even those old foxes in Konoha couldn't handle. Joining forces with him is like walking with tigers and wolves. While you get powerful assistance, you also have to be wary of this carnivore biting you back!

"We are different."

"At least they won't break their promises."

After a brief silence, Luo Sha still did not budge. His expressionless face was as impenetrable as a steel plate.

Because he clearly understood that once he gave in, it would mean falling completely into the trap set by the other party and being completely led by the nose.

However, there is one point that they still haven't been able to fully grasp.

When he brought this venomous snake, which could bare its fangs at any moment, into his home, it meant that his seemingly impeccable persistence had already created a thorn in his side that could lead to utter collapse.

"Recently, Konoha and Iwagakure have been getting closer and closer."

"Those hypocritical old guys don't seem to value the spirit of contracts as much as Lord Fengying does."

"You should know that in the battle between Konoha and Kirigakure three years ago, you completely upheld the alliance between allies and did not violate it in the slightest."

"But their current actions are somewhat disheartening."

Orochimaru responded methodically to the other party's sarcastic and hostile words.

After all, this verbal attack wasn't even enough to break his defenses. You have to know that he used to work for that old fox, Danzo Shimura.

He had long since seen the dark and sinful side beneath the brilliance.

Why would anyone feel uncomfortable because of such a small bit of irony?

His true style lies in his ability to effortlessly transform it into his own weapon.

"And it is precisely because I value this excellent quality of yours that I chose to come to you alone to request cooperation."

These words immediately caused Luo Sha's stern face to begin to soften.

He knew perfectly well that he was far less noble than the other party claimed. How could he not have been tempted by the all-out war between Konoha and Kirigakure three years ago?

The reason for not making any immediate adjustments was to find the best entry point, and of course, being wary of the neighboring Rock Village was also a very important factor.

However, that battle ended too quickly.

The fact that Konoha had overpowered Kirigakure and Kumogakure silenced his restless heart.

The Ino-Shika-Cho trio are there, the Hyuga clan is there, Jiraiya, one of the Legendary Sannin, Hiruzen Sarutobi, hailed as the strongest Hokage, is there, and Danzo Shimura, who is dark to the core, is there too.

With the main lineup almost complete, there's really no need or reason to get involved anymore.

Of course, the most important point is that our own 'weapons of war' were far from being truly usable at that time.

But things are different now.

That monster has grown to the point where it can be unleashed.

If it is not used now, as time goes by, it may become impossible for even oneself to control it.

Moreover, over the years, the daimyo of the Land of Wind and some conservatives in the village have long advocated for the destruction of this 'weapon of war' that has never achieved anything substantial!

However, the real reason that made them show signs of wavering was because of the statement that Konoha and Iwagakure were getting closer and closer!

Although he knew perfectly well that the temporary cooperation between the two sides was due to the emergence of the new mercenary organization Akatsuki. Moreover, during this period, the old fox of Konoha, Onoki of Iwagakure, and even the always unruly A of Kumogakure had all expressed their willingness to cooperate with Sunagakure on several occasions.

But why waste time and energy on an organization that specializes in hunting tailed beasts?

None of the senior executives present agreed with this collaboration.

To put it even more radically, what they really want to see is for the so-called "Akatsuki" mercenaries to take away that "troublesome tool" that has yet to prove its worth.

However, on the other hand...

three years,

The cooperation between Konoha and Iwagakure against the Akatsuki has been ongoing for three years.

Although there has been no substantial progress so far, the level of understanding and cooperation between the two sides has reached a new peak.

It should be noted that the northern border of the Land of Fire has always been a battleground between Konoha and Iwagakure, but there has been no conflict there for a very long time.

This is definitely not the outcome that Sunagakure wanted to see.

The opportunity for our side to rise to prominence lies in the continued struggle between the two sides.

Orochimaru naturally noticed the changes in the Fourth Kazekage's expression.

Although such divisive tactics are clumsy, they are extremely effective.

This is especially true for an ambitious person with lofty aspirations.

"Your country's lord has no idea what you're up to."

"Even if you sacrifice such precious things for the future of the whole village and the whole country."

"But what about those corrupt people in high positions? They are still greedy for temporary wealth and are still reducing their support for Sunagakure."

"If things continue to develop like this..."

At this point, Orochimaru's voice suddenly slowed down by a fraction, and a mocking smile appeared on his lips.

“Sunagakure fears it might fall out of the ranks of the Five Great Ninja Villages.”

These words immediately stirred up a storm in the already somewhat oppressive meeting room, with some attendees even slamming their fists on the table in anger.

After all, those who can sit here are all high-ranking members of Sunagakure, radicals who are of one mind with Rasa, and insightful people who have a strong hope for the future of Sunagakure.

How could one not be angry when such an embarrassing situation is exposed and even predicted to decline in the future?

"Oh?"

"Am I wrong?"

Orochimaru remained unmoved by this, and the smile on his lips only grew wider.

Why are these five countries called the Five Great Powers?

"Isn't it precisely because the ninja village, situated in the middle and complementing it, continuously provides them with strength to solve high-level troubles and problems?"

"But what have those foolish daimyo of the Land of Wind done?"

“Continuously reduce the military spending of Sunagakure.”

"Even though the Fourth Kazekage repeatedly backed down and refused to fight, and even transplanted the One-Tailed Beast into his own son to offset the village's stagnation in combat and use it as a weapon to deter neighboring countries."

But what was the result?

"When was the order given to eliminate that 'weapon of war,' no, when was the order to destroy that 'monster'?!"

Orochimaru's words, one by one, were like invisible swords, ruthlessly dissecting the pride of these Sand Village high-ranking officials and laying out the most realistic reality on a cold, hard surface.

He made thorough preparations for this visit!

"enough."

Staring intently at the special guest who still wanted to continue speaking, Luo Sha suddenly growled.

Gaara's existence is the embodiment of his ambition, and even more so, his guilt towards those two people.

There's no need to bring this up in public and repeat it over and over again.

But who is Orochimaru?

Even his former teachers never admitted their mistakes or bowed their heads, so how could he possibly be a junior like Rasa who was appointed to the position in a time of crisis when the Third Kazekage suddenly disappeared?

Take a good look around you!

"The Land of Earth is completely ruled by that old man Onoki."

"Although the Daimyo of the Land of Fire may seem to be high and mighty and have a certain degree of control over Konoha, that is just an illusion created by old man Sarutobi."

"If we really face an awkward situation like Sunagakure, even if Hiruzen Sarutobi doesn't make a move, will Danzo Shimura, who is hiding underground, remain inactive?"

"Even in the Land of Rain, which is conservative in war, it was Hanzo of the Salamander who dominated the overall situation."

Why is it that Sunagakure, one of the five great ninja villages and the village that guards the territory of the Land of Wind, has to be reduced to relying on the whims of those useless daimyo to live and do things?

"Is it that your faith is not strong enough?"

【enough. 】

"Or is it that the Sand Village ninjas living in the desert are not strong enough?"

【enough! 】

"Or perhaps your leader isn't qualified enough to influence the decisions of those powerful figures!"

"And they only regard Sunagakure as a dispensable tool!"

"There is absolutely no united will to strive forward!"

Orochimaru's voice grew increasingly louder.

"enough!!"

Luo Sha, clenching his fists, roared out, his originally calm and indifferent face now completely replaced by anxiety and anger.

However, this special guest with the face of a young woman showed no sign of restraint.

"The ninjas of Sunagakure, the nobles of the Daimyo's mansion, and the surrounding forces are all watching you."

"You who raised your own son to be a 'weapon of war'."

"Is this how it's going to end, all good and bad?"

"How tragic..."

This time, however, before he could finish speaking, the man wearing the 'Wind Shadow Hat' forcibly interrupted him:

"How do you want to cooperate?"

He practically screamed the words through gritted teeth.

【How can it be! 】

Looking at the ninja bag she had turned upside down, Tsunade slumped to the ground with her hands shrugged.
