Konoha: Who's the good guy?

"Mizukage, you're supposed to be the Kage of a village, don't you even have the courage to face the enemy?"

Onoki leaned slightly forward, his eyes fixed on the group of shadow clones that were gradually closing in, trying to provoke Yagura's fighting spirit.

The enemy's strength far exceeded his expectations!

This unparalleled power is probably something that even if Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha were reborn, they would be no match for!

But now, he is...

He is no longer the weakling who needed to muster all his courage just to look up at Madara Uchiha.

He is the man who mastered the Dust Release technique of the Bloodline Elimination, inherited the position of Tsuchikage, and is known as the Two Scales!

As long as the Mizukage, who is the Jinchuriki of the Three-Tails, can muster the courage to fight seriously.

As long as the equally powerful subordinate under the Mizukage stops cowering and only thinking about running away.

They are not entirely without the strength to fight the enemy!

"The Tsuchikage is right. As the Mizukage, I shouldn't be so cowardly."

"Hmph! I'll do it later..."

"I will step down when I get back."

"???!!!"

Upon hearing this, Onoki's vision went black, and his chest heaved violently, almost causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood.

Is this even human language?

Are all the people of Kirigakure dead?

How could someone like that be made the Mizukage!

This is a disgrace to the Five Kage!

Black Zetsu, possessing Yagura Karatachi, didn't even glance at Onoki.

If the scenery in the mountains didn't possess that eerie power that suddenly caused someone to lose some ability.

He had long since completely lifted the restrictions on Yagura Karatachi and Isobu Mitsuo, allowing them to fully transform into their tailed beast forms and charge forward. There was no need for Onoki to say anything more!

But the chilling feeling he had before diving underground, and the way the scenery in the mountains always seemed to want to face him directly.

Everything about this is telling.

The enemy wanted to use the same technique on him that they had used on Madara Uchiha before.

Moreover, that technique was extremely dangerous for him!

Is it some kind of magical technique?

Black Zetsu's mind raced.

Although theoretically, immortal techniques can only cause damage to a being like him created by Yin-Yang escape, but cannot directly kill him.

But theory is one thing, and over the millennia, all sorts of secret techniques and methods have emerged in the ninja world.

Who knows what new varieties might suddenly appear?

What should a mother do if something happens to him?

Black Zetsu shrank into a tiny ball, hiding completely behind Tobi, ready to jump from Yagura onto Tobi at any moment.

The six clones descended from the sky.

They quickly gathered beside Black Zetsu and Tobi, six identical Rinnegan eyes fixed on Yamanaka Kei's figure.

At Black Zetsu's instruction, Tobi continuously used his chakra to manipulate the eight thousand spear marks left by Uchiha Hikaru on his body.

The Hoshigaki clan member he possessed, despite being born with a large amount of chakra, had a fairly good physique.

However, he ultimately cannot compare to Nagato, who possesses the Uzumaki bloodline and outstanding talent.

Even though he had amplified it with his own power, he could only barely unleash a portion of the Rinnegan's power.

They wanted to use even greater power.

The only solution now is for Uchiha Hikaru to use the power of the Eight Thousand Spears to transfer a portion of the chakra from the 100,000 White Zetsu.

Onoki turned to look at Yagura Karatachi and his subordinates.

Just as he was about to use words to forcefully provoke the other party again, he suddenly noticed his subordinate's eyes, which were no longer covered by his headband.

Those purple eyes with concentric ripples...

This is the legendary supreme eye power that controls life and death, the Sage's Eye of the Six Paths?

As a storm raged within him, Onoki felt an urge to unleash a torrent of curses once more.

No, your subordinate has such a thing!

You don't even dare to show your face, and you look like you're ready to run away at any moment?!

and many more......

Onoki paused for a moment, his gaze falling on the black light swirling around Yamanaka Kei and the ferocious, roaring dragon that surrounded him.

Then look around at the towering trees that are constantly waving their branches, as if demons have descended.

It's true that my teammates are very strong.

But the opponent is stronger!

This is not just a matter of strength, but also of courage and will!

Even with the eyes of a sage, what good is power to a cowardly man?

Moreover, there's Yamanaka Kei, who can rival the First Hokage, plus Hiruzen Sarutobi, the current Hokage, the three legendary Sannin of Konoha who have grown up, and Minato Namikaze, whom we just saw...

It's one thing that Iwagakure's overall number of ninjas is less than Konoha's, but their high-end combat strength is also far inferior.

He was afraid that this old man might die here today.

At that time, in such a large village as Iwagakure, who will be able to shoulder the responsibilities of the Tsuchikage?

I must have been blind to have allied with Kirigakure!

Onoki cursed inwardly, shifted his feet slightly to increase the distance between himself and Yagura and the others, and spoke to Yamanaka Kei.

"Sir, there is actually no irreconcilable hatred between Iwagakure and Konoha."

One sentence was uttered.

Black Zetsu was startled for a moment, looking at Onoki beside him with disbelief.

This old man, is he going to defect to the enemy?!

"Um?"

Shan Zhongjing was stunned for a moment, feeling somewhat taken aback as well.

He truly hadn't expected that the stubborn old man from the original story would change his stance so quickly!

No.

During the Fourth Shinobi World War, wasn't this guy still determined and encouraging the other Kage to fight Madara Uchiha to the end?

What's going on now? Without Gaara and Naruto's motivation, they've already faltered from the start?

Or was it because Madara Uchiha was so ruthless that everyone would die, that this guy fought back with all his might?

"You foolish old man, do you think they'll agree?"

Black Zetsu feigned disdain and scoffed.

While frantically trying to figure out how to continue stalling for time, he also cursed Uchiha Hikaru in his mind.

Logically speaking, given Uchiha Hikaru's control over the Eight Thousand Spears...

After such a long time, the supporting chakra should have arrived by now, but there has been no reaction at all!

What exactly went wrong with that guy?!

"Actually, Iwagakure and Konoha could join forces and attack Kirigakure together. Although the Land of Water isn't particularly large, it's rich in various resources..."

Onoki's brain was also working at lightning speed.

He spoke fluently about the idea he had just come up with.

hum~

A golden-red, semi-transparent barrier rose from outside the area where the Flower Tree Realm had descended!

The surface of the pillar-shaped barrier is wreathed in countless golden-red flames, blocking all external personnel and energy from entering.

Immortal Technique: Four Red Yang Formation!

The barrier, which combines Sage Mode chakra and requires the combined power of four Kage-level ninjas, completely sealed off the space where everyone was in the blink of an eye.

Black Zetsu's pupils contracted sharply, only now being illuminated by the light from the barrier.

The enormous trees that had sprung from the arrival of the Flower Tree Realm were constantly radiating streams of Sage Chakra in all directions.

These invisible Sage Chakras formed a thin, misty film.

It blocked the massive influx of chakra from the sky!

Damn!

This guy already knew about Uchiha Hikaru's existence and even devised countermeasures!

"In the ninja world, there's only one ninja village, but I think we could have a few more Kage. What does the Tsuchikage think?"

Yamanaka Kei crossed his arms over his chest, a radiant smile of confidence on his face.

A barrier capable of withstanding the Ten-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball has been formed.

The power of Uchiha Hikaru's Eight Thousand Spears was also completely blocked, so he no longer needed to secretly manipulate the surrounding trees to release a large amount of Sage Chakra to block it.

If Black Zetsu manages to escape again...

He chopped up Kun on the spot during a live broadcast!

As for Onoki, Black Zetsu has already captured him. If this guy knows what's good for him, he should bring over ten thousand ninjas from Iwagakure to work for him.

If they don't know their place, then he can only use Wood Release to cleanse the ground, and casually add a "Kana" to the mix.
