Crossover Anime: Plundering the Heavens and Building a Dimensional Empire

Page 159

Scorpion interjected, "I don't believe that."

It was said with great solemnity, and it didn't seem fake.

However, Sasori did not believe what Hiruko said. They were all traitors, so who was more noble than whom? Besides, there was nothing wrong with admitting it.

Was this a frame-up by Konoha?

It's not really important; the key is that the ninja world believes this is the current situation.

"Whether you believe it or not is none of my business. Anyway, I didn't do it." Hiruko's face was gloomy, and his brows were filled with heavy murderous intent.

Upon hearing this, Scorpion sneered and replied, "Whether you did it or not is unimportant; I don't care anyway."

What do you think?

Whether I did it or not is none of my business.

If they say so, then it must be so.

It wasn't me who made that determination, but the entire ninja world.

"We shouldn't be arguing right now." Jiao was very unhappy with their attitude. Were you two arguing so loudly that you ignored me?

Sasori was already fed up with this godforsaken place and immediately said, "Kakuzu, why don't you tell us about our route? Entering Iwagakure won't be easy. Not only is it heavily guarded, but the place is really terrible. Although it's not as xenophobic and completely closed off as Kirigakure, this godforsaken place is no better."

Upon hearing this, Hiruko immediately laughed and mocked, "You talk as if the Land of Wind is some kind of wonderful place. Not only is it filled with sand, but even drinking water is a problem. At least the Hidden Stone Village can develop, and it has strong military capabilities. It is a ninja village that can rival the Hidden Leaf Village and the Hidden Cloud Village. And what is your Hidden Sand Village?"

Upon hearing this, Scorpion went berserk, his scorpion tail attacking Hiruko directly.

The latter remained unfazed, using Steel Release: Hardening Technique to metallize his body. This metal tail was impossible to penetrate his defense, which was even stronger than Kakuzu's Earth Release: Hardening Technique.

Kakuzu: "..."

This team is really hard to manage.

All he wanted to do was carry out the mission assigned to him by Nagato, but it seems the mission is really difficult because the team is really hard to lead.

Both Hiruko and Sasori of the Red Sand are troublemakers.

Damn it, how did I get into this mess?

Honestly, this is insane!

"If you really love your respective villages that much, then don't become rogue ninja." Kakuzu was really annoyed. What's wrong with you all? Have you all gone crazy?

Upon hearing Kakuzu's words, Sasori coldly asked, "Kakuzu, what would you do if he mocked Takigakure?"

"kill him."

Kakuzu said without hesitation.

Although he was a rogue ninja and hated Takigakure, that was no excuse for others. After all, it was the village he used to live in, and he certainly couldn't let others make random comments about it.

"look."

Scorpion's meaning was self-evident.

You yourself are like this, why bother criticizing me?

This is meaningless; it can't be a double standard.

Kakuzu said expressionlessly, "We cannot refuse the task assigned by the leader."

"Didn't you say you were after money? Why are you so eager now?" Hiruko squinted at the money-grubbing man and asked in return.

"Can you beat the leader?" Kakuzu retorted. Nobody wanted this, but the question was, didn't everyone know why they joined this organization in the first place?

If you can't beat them, you'll be recruited.

Otherwise, who would willingly join some random organization, right?

No one knows what the organization is like or what its future holds, but I know one thing for sure: I was forced to join.

Because I can't beat them, it's that simple.

Hiruko: "..."

scorpion:"……"

Damn, the truth really hurts.

They were both unhappy because it was the truth: neither of them could defeat Nagato's Six Paths of Pain. The power of the Rinnegan was terrifying!

"Should we go straight to Iwagakure?"

After a long silence, Scorpion finally spoke.

However, this was clearly a way of changing the subject.

"For now, we're just circling around the perimeter. As long as nothing major happens, we'll observe secretly. Anyway, the leader's intention is very clear: we should focus on surveillance and pay attention to Uchiha Hakubaki's movements."

Kakuzu responded that this required monitoring and that no actions that risked exposure should be taken.

"Then let's go." Hiruko was very unhappy. He intended to make a difference in this incident because he had crossed paths with Konoha, and Konoha was his obsession.

I can't let things go too smoothly for you.

Especially Uchiha Hakumu, what gives him the right to be so arrogant?

He seized power through a coup, and the key point is that he actually succeeded. How did he do it? Jealousy drives people mad, and at this moment, Beiliuhu was driven by jealousy.

Whom are you jealous of?

Of course, it's Bai Mu.

You succeeded; you defeated Hiruzen Sarutobi.

You wiped out all the high-ranking officials of Konoha, while I was ordered to be killed by the Third Hokage and fled Konoha in disgrace, like a stray dog...

For so many years, I've been thinking about proving myself, and now I have that opportunity.

"If anything goes wrong, there will be support. That's what the leader said." Kakuzu was very responsible and relayed everything Nagato had told him.

The whole situation needs to be explained clearly.

To avoid future disputes, which is something Kakuzu doesn't want to see, it's necessary to clarify the situation to prevent various problems and troubles from arising later, which would only cause unnecessary trouble for himself.

Chapter 202 Are you going to start lecturing your father?

Iwagakure Village.

At Onoki's house.

The Third Tsuchikage simply couldn't sleep peacefully.

He had a very bad feeling that there had been no good progress on the matter of the alliance in recent days. The Fourth Kazekage Rasa of Sunagakure was making nice promises, but in reality, there was no progress at all.

I won't say much about Wuyin; he's still just arguing.

As for Kumogakure, as mentioned at the beginning, the difficulties are there. There are too many internal problems, so even with the threat from Konoha, they are still unwilling to compromise and choose to cooperate with Iwagakure.

Of course, the main reason is that there is no leader and the internal division between right and wrong is too serious, which means that no one can convince anyone else.

The black faction and the white faction are locked in a fierce battle.

However, according to the message from Lao Zi, they should simply support the white-skinned faction of Cloud Ninja, while the black-skinned faction of Cloud Ninja should not be supported.

why?

Because they were really too outrageous.

However, Onoki hesitated, unsure of how to make a judgment. After all, these were not child's play, and making a decision was difficult and required careful consideration.

For various reasons, Onoki was unable to rest at all, and even at home he was so distressed that he couldn't fall asleep peacefully.

With so many things to do, Onoki was under increasing pressure, which caused his already thinning hair to become even sparser.

"Father, why aren't you asleep yet?"

Huang Tu, who had been sleeping soundly, got up to go to the toilet. When he passed by the living room, he saw that it was brightly lit. Then he looked at Onoki kneeling there and stared blankly at his father's weathered back. He blurted out a sentence.

sleep?

Sleep my ass!

Looking at the sleepy-eyed Huangtu, and thinking about the pressure he was under, Onoki became furious and immediately burst into a tirade: "All you do is sleep, sleep, sleep! I'm under so much pressure I can't sleep, and you're doing just fine..."

"Hmph, utter trash!"

I can't help it, I'm so angry.

This caused Ohnoki to start hurling all sorts of nasty insults.

Huang Tu was indifferent to this; he was used to being scolded by his father, and there were even harsher things said. These were nothing to him, except for the pressure his father was putting on him…

The loess is actually quite helpless because it can't solve the problem itself. You can't ask me to solve it, and I can't solve it either.

If I could handle that, the position of Fourth Tsuchikage would have been mine long ago.

"Father, I can't help it."

"Besides, it's so late, what else can we do but stay up?"

Huang Tu felt that things couldn't be resolved in a day, and that he should eat, drink, and sleep as usual, without putting so much pressure on himself.

"Hmph, of course you can sleep, but I absolutely cannot sleep. The burden of Iwagakure rests on my shoulders. I am the Third Tsuchikage of Iwagakure, and I must be responsible for the future of Iwagakure."

Onoki couldn't understand it. It wasn't that he didn't want to train his son, but no matter how he tried, he just couldn't get it right. Whether it was in politics or in learning Dust Release, he was a complete mess.

Honestly, didn't I try my best to teach him?

No, I do, and I've been teaching him very hard. I genuinely hope he can grow and that he can take over my teaching role.

However, the reality is cruel.

He has absolutely no talent for handling government affairs.

Dust Escape? Forget it, if I could, I wouldn't have to go through all this trouble.

What's even more cruel is that it's not just my son; there hasn't been a genius in Iwagakure who can learn Dust Release yet. Where are the geniuses of my Iwagakure?

Deidara is still just a kid, and Onoki hasn't yet discovered any of his potential. He still needs further observation, but Deidara is one of the few geniuses in Iwagakure.

With exceptional talent, if he hadn't been led astray by the Akatsuki, he would definitely have been the future Fourth Tsuchikage, a true winner in life.

It's a pity she was kidnapped.
