Naruto: Nawaki was already dead, how could you bring him back to life?

"Oh? You're here, old man. Are you here to willingly die and buy a chance for Iwagakure to survive? Hahahaha!"

Upon seeing Onoki, Chiba burst into laughter like an Uchiha, making many of the Uchiha ninja below feel a special sense of kinship.

"You bullied me when I was weak, did you ever think that you would bring about the destruction of Iwagakure today?"

Chiba's smile vanished, and he looked coldly at Onoki. A gentleman doesn't leave a grudge unavenged, and Chiba was here today to be a gentleman.

"Of course not, otherwise I would have killed you at any cost!"

Facing the aggressive Chiba, Onoki coldly replied without backing down.

As a powerful and ruthless figure, he would naturally not do anything foolish like sacrificing himself. He turned to look at Luo Sha and the others beside him and said.

"I don't believe I've offended Sunagakure or Kirigakure. Why should your two villages be coerced by this brat and used as pawns by Konoha?"

Seeing that Rasa and the others remained unmoved, Onoki pondered for a moment before slowly speaking.

"How about this? To show our sincerity, Iwagakure is willing to give up 30% of the ninja world's share and share it with your two villages. You may leave now, how about that?"

Under Onoki's expectant gaze, Rasa shook his head and laughed mockingly.

"Foolish. Even if we destroy your Iwagakure, all these benefits will still be ours. Besides, I've never been interested in these mundane things."

With a casual clap of his hands, Brother Value could unleash countless gold dust particles; what he valued was the genuine affection between him and Chiba!

The Fourth Mizukage on the ground also remained silent. He was originally a new puppet put forward by Madara Uchiha, so how could he possibly betray Chiba?

"I've tried to reason with you, but do you really think Iwagakure is easy to bully? Since you want to do the work for Konoha, then come on, Iwagakure has no fear!"

Onoki's heart sank to the bottom. Now he could only hope that Iwagakure's strong resistance would cause the three great ninja villages to become divided and back down.

"You're so arrogant, then die!"

Rasa, with his fiery temper, directly controlled the shower of golden sand to crash headlong into Onoki.

"I, Chiba, hereby declare war on the Third Shinobi World War!"

Chiba also flashed forward, heading straight for Onoki. With his current strength, he naturally had no fear of Onoki; it was Onoki who should be afraid!

"Soldiers of Sunagakure, charge!"

"Konoha, attack!"

"Warriors of the Blood Mist, the time has come to revel in the carnage."

Seeing that Chiba and his companion were fighting with Onoki, Shigure of Sunagakure, Shikaku Nara of Konoha, and the Fourth Mizukage of Kirigakure all gave the order to attack.

"Kill!"

The allied forces of the three countries roared as they surged up the mountain, unleashing a variety of ninjutsu that tore through the defenses of Iwagakure almost instantly.

"Chen Escape: The art of boundary peeling!"

Witnessing this scene, Onoki was furious. He dodged Chiba and the other two and raised his hand to release a transparent cube containing terrifying energy towards the densely packed allied forces below.

In the original storyline, Onoki used this technique to destroy the Susanoo of Madara Uchiha's twenty-five clones in one strike.

"Watergate!"

"Gale-force Black Super Wheel Dance Roar - Flying Thunder God Guided Lightning Zero Style!"

With a shout from Chiba, a golden flash met the rapidly expanding transparent cube. Before he could even finish reciting the name of the technique, he had already transferred the Limit Separation Technique elsewhere.

boom!

A huge, transparent cube exploded in the distant, uninhabited mountains, instantly engulfing countless rocks and soil—this was Onoki's Limit Decomposition Technique.

"Lao Zi!"

"coming!"

Onoki roared in response, and a man covered in lava leaped down from the mountain like a meteor into the Allied Forces. It was none other than the Four-Tails Jinchuriki—Roshi.

Although Roshi and Onoki have always been at odds, with a formidable enemy at hand, for the sake of Iwagakure, the two should naturally stand on the same side.

"Tailed beast jade!"

"Super Wind Release: Rasenshuriken!"

Seeing a tailed beast phantom appear behind Rōshi, opening its mouth to begin condensing a tailed beast ball, Chiba unhesitatingly unleashed a farewell gift at it.

boom!

A terrifying storm instantly formed. Chiba had tried his best to adjust the angle of his attack, but he still accidentally injured many of his allies. In order to prevent more people from dying from the Tailed Beast Ball, there was nothing he could do.

When the storm subsided, Lao Zi had transformed into a giant red ape tens of meters tall, roaring as he charged toward the Allied Forces, sending countless ninjas flying along the way.

"Hooray, it's finally Shukaku's turn to make his appearance!"

At that moment, a strange laugh came from the Sand Village side, followed by a giant yellow raccoon dog that was no weaker than the fully-formed Four-Tails, which rammed into the oncoming Four-Tails.

"Hey, you Jinchūriki, Shukaku rarely comes out, hurry up and let that Goku guy come out and play with me for a while!"

Shukaku braced itself against the four tails with its arms and spoke with some dissatisfaction, as it could tell that Rōshi's consciousness was now in control.

"Get out of my way! Get out of my way!!"

Old Purple roared, his body engulfed in flames, and he smashed a punch into Shukaku, blowing its head off. He then charged towards the allied forces behind him.

"Damn it, I'm trying to talk to you nicely, and you actually dared to smash my sand body! I'm about to lose my temper!"

Shukaku got angry, and after reconstructing its head using yellow sand, it opened its big mouth and aimed at the Four-Tailed Beast.

"Wind Release·Sand Shot!"

A barrage of sand bullets, amplified by wind, shot towards the Four-Tailed Fox, which easily deflected them with a flick of its crimson tail.

At the same time, the scattered yellow sand also stuck to the Four-Tails' body, turning into a curse mark that was the same as the pattern on Shukaku's body.

"Nani?!"

Old Purple was startled and quickly used Lava Release to drive away the cursed seal power that had invaded his body. However, Shukaku simply opened its arms and hugged him, ignoring the fact that its body was constantly melting, and angrily applied the cursed seal power.

"I'll show you how to hit my head! I'll show you how to hit my head! Even that stinky fox wouldn't dare treat me like this!"

Shukaku muttered to himself, resentfully retaliating against Lao Zi.

As the only tailed beast that is skilled in sealing techniques and is not made of flesh and blood, Shukaku's existence is very special. Even the strongest Nine-Tails can't do anything about his sharp tongue.

“Damn it!”

Old Purple roared in anger. Shukaku's offensive power was not high, but due to its special characteristics, its defensive power was extremely strong, and it managed to drag Old Purple to his death here.

Of course, it wasn't just Shukaku; many other powerful ninjas quickly arrived and used various methods to apply sealing power to Rōshi.

"Boiling Release: Steel Release: Storm Release: Lightning Slash!"

At this moment, a short figure squeezed out of the crowd, his arm magically transforming into a blade amidst the chaos, severing one of the four tails, and grabbing it like a dog thief stealing a dog and running away.

"Hahahaha, Onoki, what other trump cards does Iwagakure have up its sleeve? Show them to us!"

Seeing that Rōshi was pinned to the spot by Shukaku and the others, Chiba looked at Ōnoki, who was being restrained by him and Rasa, and burst into laughter.

"If not, then open your eyes wide and watch what happens next. That's my way of repaying you."

Today, your Hidden Stone Village will be wiped out of the ninja world!

Chapter 118 Leg Shadows Appear, Iwagakure Village is Divided Up

At this moment, Onoki truly lived up to his name as the Tsuchikage, his face ashen.

Chiba's words were true. Now, all of Iwagakure's remaining high-end combat forces are tied down, and the allied forces, which outnumber Iwagakure several times over, can easily wipe out the village.

"What should I do..."

Onoki glanced at the Iwagakure front line beneath him, a scene of utter devastation and wailing, and for the first time, a look of bewilderment appeared on his usually resolute face.

Is the Hidden Stone Village, entrusted to him by his grandfather (Ishigawa) and master (No), about to perish at the hands of Onoki?

"Chiba, if I were to truly die, would you be willing to spare Iwagakure?"

After a series of changes in expression, Onoki abandoned the idea of ​​fighting to the death with Chiba and the other two, and took a deep breath.

Even when facing Madara Uchiha in his youth, Onoki never bowed his head, but now, for the sake of Iwagakure, which his ancestors had devoted their lives to, he willingly lowered his head to a junior.

This is why the villagers of Iwagakure hold this Tsuchikage in such high esteem.

Despite his stubborn and unyielding personality, Onoki was a great ninja who truly loved the village and put its interests above all else.

It must be said that Onoki, who took the lead in battle, stood in stark contrast to Sarutobi, who was still unwilling to go to the battlefield.

"Oonoki, you should know very well that things have come to this point and are no longer under our control."

Under Onoki's complicated gaze, Chiba shook his head and said.

Although this trend was started by Chiba, he was also subject to the trend. Thousands of ninjas below were waiting to divide up the benefits after the fall of Iwagakure. How could he stop it with just a word?

Unless he takes action to intimidate everyone, the key question is, why would he do this, just because Onoki willingly went to his death?

What a joke! Onoki will die at his hands sooner or later, so what kind of bullshit condition is this?

"Wake up, Onoki. Today, the destruction of Iwagakure is inevitable."

Looking at Onoki's ashen face, Chiba snorted and said, "However, if you lead Iwagakure to surrender and give up resistance, I can restrain my men from indiscriminate killing."

"This is my final proposal, there's no room for discussion. You have one minute to think it over."

Chiba issued an ultimatum to Onoki, and Rasa, who was standing to the side, stopped making a move and stood by Chiba's side, coldly watching Onoki.

The lives of their subordinates are also lives. If they can take Iwagakure with fewer casualties, Chiba and Rasa would naturally be happy to do so.

Not to mention that the manpower of Iwagakure is also a valuable resource, including some bloodline limit users. When the villages divide it up and take it back, it will be excellent for mining or infrastructure construction.

“…Very well, I am willing to surrender.”

For Onoki, that minute felt like an eternity.

After a difficult internal struggle, the calculating Onoki, the two-scaled strategist, made his final decision.

"Listen up, Iwagakure ninjas! I have surrendered. You no longer need to put up a futile resistance. Lay down your weapons."

With bloodshot eyes, Onoki surveyed his people below, channeling his chakra to make his voice resonate throughout the battlefield.

"What? Lord Tsuchikage has surrendered?"

"We are ready to fight to the death, why have you surrendered first, sir?!"
