Naruto: In the name of time, shock the ninja world!.

Chapter 265: A way out? A dead end?

"Enemy? Haha, the hostility is quite strong." Hoshino Kaede didn't care about Oonoki's attitude.

From the corner of his eye he saw that the Raikage had his eyes closed and his expression was calm. Even though he was here, he remained indifferent, as if he was in a trance.

This made Xingye Feng happy, and he said to the Raikage with a smile: "Ai, you seem to have changed a lot. Why do you show such a normal mentality to others? Did you suddenly realize it?"

Upon hearing this, the Raikage slowly opened his eyes, with no change on his dark and resolute face, except for a slight frown, and spoke.

"Is Konoha so idle now that it would actually send people to pay attention to us, the remnants of the defeated army?"

Seeing him speak calmly and peacefully, Xingye Feng couldn't help but marvel at it, and then replied.

"Konoha is indeed very busy right now as you said, but that's what Sakumo should do."

As he spoke, he glanced around, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he smiled: "I came here to chat with you."

Ohnoki frowned, not knowing what this guy was planning. He snorted coldly and said.

"There's nothing to talk about between us."

Hearing this, Xingye Feng stretched out a finger and shook it: "That's not necessarily true."

He paused deliberately, saw the attracted gazes, chuckled inwardly, and spoke.

"What I want to talk about is the unification of the ninja world. I think this should be of great interest to you."

"After all... this is about the survival of you and the country."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone except the Raikage and the Tsuchikage changed color and couldn't help but surround him.

Seeing this, Xingye Feng nodded with satisfaction: "See, there are still people who care."

He looked at Ōnoki and the Raikage and said with a smile, "Well, I came here with sincerity."

The Raikage and the Tsuchikage looked at each other, then looked at Hoshino Kaede, with a flash of concern in their eyes.

After all, he is the supreme leader of the ninja village. One of the reasons for launching the war is to preserve the village, so he naturally cares about the future survival of the village.

At this moment, everyone's eyes turned to Xingye Feng. Xingye Feng was calm and composed, but his calm words broke everyone's defense.

It was like a depth charge was thrown into the water, causing huge waves to hit the people who were caught off guard.

"Konoha has decided to send troops to attack the Land of Thunder and demand half of the land from the Land of Earth!"

hum-

After he finished speaking, Ohnoki felt dazed for a moment, and took a step back in disbelief, covering his chest, and suddenly felt pain in his heart.

"What!" Ripples appeared in the originally calm heart of the Raikage. He suddenly stood up and walked quickly to the front of Hoshino Kaede. His tall and mighty body was extremely oppressive, but Hoshino Kaede just smiled indifferently.

The Raikage's eyes were wide open and his face was distorted. He was furious at what Hoshino Kaede said.

Everyone else was also shocked and felt unbelievable, as if they had woken up one night and found out the world had ended.

Ohnoki took two deep breaths, calmed himself down, and tried to digest and accept it, but in the end he found that he couldn't calm down at all.

Seeing the panicked looks of the Raikage and the Tsuchikage, Hoshino Kaede looked calm, as if he had expected it. Without waiting for them to fully digest it, he dropped another big bomb.

"The Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Rock Village should be merged into Konoha and cease to exist."

As soon as these words were spoken, the Raikage couldn't help but grab Hoshino Kaede's collar, but because his chakra was sealed, he couldn't move Hoshino Kaede at all. Instead, he was knocked back a few steps and groaned.

With a faint smile on his face, Xingye Feng straightened his collar and said, "I can understand the impulse of the Raikage. After all, he has feelings."

Anyone can say such things, but only Xingye Feng said it in a strange and annoying way, making people feel that he said it on purpose.

Everyone glared at him as if they wanted to cut him into pieces.

Xingye Feng pretended not to know and continued to speak: "Feelings are both precious and entangled."

He looked at the people who were glaring at him, his tone changed to a low one, his expression serious: "You have this thing, and I have it too."

"I am the same age as Mu Ye. I can say that I have watched him grow from poverty to wealth, and from weakness to strength."

"I still remember the streets full of ragged, skinny people. Konoha was extremely poor back then. It took the efforts of several generations to get to where we are today."

“You are sad about losing the village, but in fact you are sad about losing power.”

As he spoke, his eyes lingered on the Raikage, and he said in a deep voice, "Raikage, you are warmongering, relying on your strong military power, and you have the ambition to lead the village to prosperity. There is nothing wrong with that."

"But the moment you increase your military at all costs and exhaust the people's hearts and minds, you have already lost."

After hearing this, the Raikage slowly closed his eyes, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Seeing him like this, he then looked at Ohnoki. Compared to the Raikage, he admired Ohnoki more. At least, Ohnoki knew when to stop and did not squeeze out the potential of the Iwagakure Village, leaving some things in reserve.

From this point of view, Ōnoki is stronger than Ai, more experienced, and always leaves a way out for everything. He did not bring suffering to the villagers of Iwagakure Village, and at least they could live a decent life.

"Ohnoki, has the Land of Earth disappointed you?"

Hoshino Kaede asked.

When Ōnoki recalled what happened that day, his heart couldn't stop trembling and he closed his eyes in pain.

Looking at the silent but flickering eyes of the crowd, Xingye Feng continued: "You are doomed. The unification of Konoha is inevitable. This is an unchangeable fact."

"As for you, it's time to think about your own way out."

After that, some people with a strong desire to survive raised their heads, glanced at Ai and Ohnoki covertly, and then lowered their heads again.

This little action naturally could not be hidden from Xingye Feng, who said meaningfully: "Death is the end of everything, but living is better than death."

At this time, Ohnoki suddenly said, "Konoha is willing to give us a chance to live? Aren't you afraid that we might become disloyal by then?"

The meaning of his words was very clear. The people present were all very old and their world views had already been formed and could not be easily changed.

Compared to orphans of a few years old, these people would be a hidden danger if left in Konoha, and something might happen to them one day.

This is also why ninja villages like to adopt orphans, because they have clean backgrounds, are free of worries, are unreasonable, are easily influenced, and have lived in the village since childhood, so they have a strong sense of belonging.

What Oonoki said is also what these people wanted to say. It is one thing for them to be willing, and it is another for Konoha to accept it.

Don't let it end up in a dead end, otherwise you will just be digging your own grave.

Hearing this, Xingye Feng curled his lips and thought to himself, "It seems that he still has some ideas. That's good. What I'm afraid of is that he will resist stubbornly."

Then he chuckled and said, "The era of ninja supremacy is about to end. In the future, Konoha will be full of surveillance cameras. Even if a few people have ulterior motives, it will not cause any trouble."

"Besides, I'm not dead yet. If you want to cause trouble, you have to ask me first."
