Chapter 265: The Shadow of Oonoki

"Kumogakure is a bandit, Sand Village is weak, Kirigakure is caught in the blood mist chaos, and in the entire ninja world, only Iwagakure of Senior Ohnoki can be our partner."

Unconsciously, Bai Ye's address to Ohnoki has changed from Lord Tsuchikage to Senior Ohnoki.

Ohnoki also heard the change in Bai Ye's address, but he didn't say much and gladly accepted Bai Ye's address to him.

At the same time, he was a little envious of Hanzo's ability to cultivate such an excellent successor.

If his apprentice Deidara could be so competitive, even if he was only one-tenth of the level, he wouldn't cause trouble for himself in the village all day long.

After a few seconds of silence, Ohnoki gave a reply: "Bai Ye boy, I will consider your plan carefully, but the most urgent thing is whether it is time to stop my apprentice from fighting with your village."

Bai Ye nodded, then took out a spiritual contract and handed it to Ohnoki.

Ohnoki took a glance and knew that this was a summoning contract. Bai Ye wanted to use the summoned beast to establish a communication channel between the Hidden Rock Village and the Hidden Rain Village.

Ohnoki accepted the summoning contract. He did not intend to sign the contract himself. He planned to let his men try it after returning. He did not know if there were any traps in this summoning contract.

After the negotiation, the two flew into the sky and rushed to the location of Konan and Deidara.

After seeing Bai Ye flying in the sky, Ohnoki's eyes flashed with surprise. He did not expect that this kid could master the ability to fly in addition to the Wood Release Ninjutsu.

There are very few ninjas in the ninja world who have the ability to fly, and most of them are achieved through raptor summoned beasts.

Ninjas who rely solely on their own flying are definitely one in a million, which means that even if Bai Ye loses to his opponent in the war, he can retreat by flying.

Bai Ye enjoys the feeling of showing off in front of people and can't help but speed up.

For him, the shock of a hundred ordinary ninjas is not as great as the shock of a Kage-level strongman, not to mention that Ohnoki is not an ordinary Kage-level strongman, but a genuine Five Kage.

Not long after, Bai Ye and Ohnoki came to the place where Konan and Deidara fought.

I saw that the battle between Konan and Deidara was coming to an end. In Konan's almost endless detonating talismans, Deidara had exhausted most of his strength and even had no chakra to maintain flight.

He has always been keen on the art of explosion, but he actually lost to a female ninja in the contest of explosion.

This dealt a serious blow to Deidara's confidence, and he even gave up arriving, looking at Konan in mid-air with no hope of life.

Konan did not kill Deidara, but only restricted Deidara's actions.

First, because Bai Ye had not appeared yet, she did not know how Bai Ye would deal with Deidara, and second, Deidara's identity was indeed sensitive, as he was the disciple of the Third Tsuchikage.

Such a ninja would not be killed during non-war periods, unless she wanted to provoke a war.

At this time, Xiaonan was the first to sense the arrival of Bai Ye and Ohnoki. After seeing Ohnoki flying in the sky, she was a little dazed.

What did Bai Ye do when she was fighting with Deidara here?

Why did Bai Ye appear shoulder to shoulder with the third generation of Tsuchikage? Is there really any special temperament in Bai Ye that can increase the old man's favor for him?

When seeing Ohnoki, Deidara was still a little dazed. After rubbing his eyes, he confirmed that the short old man in front of him was his teacher.

"Old man Ohnoki... Teacher, you are finally here, I..."

For the first time, Deidara showed a well-behaved attitude in front of Ohnoki, just like a bear child who went home to find his parents after being bullied outside.

Facing Deidara's rare admission of fault, Ohnoki was not only not happy, but frowned.

After landing next to Deidara, Ohnoki snorted coldly and said, "Deidara, if you don't learn well, don't show off outside. I don't know if I told you that there are more strong people in the ninja world than you think."

Deidara nodded and said a little aggrievedly, "I know, Mr. Ohnoki."

In the past, Deidara would only agree with Ohnoki's scolding and didn't care in his heart, but after meeting Konan this time, he realized how cruel the outside world is.

It turns out that there are really people in the ninja world who can surpass him in the art of explosion and crush him completely.

At this time, Deidara noticed Bai Ye not far away and asked curiously, "Mr. Ohnoki, why did you come here with him? Aren't they enemies who invaded the village? Didn't you take him down just now?"

Onoki's face froze.

If he could take down Bai Ye, Bai Ye would naturally be a thief who invaded the village, but if the two sides were evenly matched, they could only be friendly partners.

In order to maintain his image in front of his apprentice, Ohnoki had to say:

"Bai Ye Jonin and Konan Jonin are both my guests. After hearing that you escaped from the confinement room, I specifically asked them to teach you a lesson, so that you can understand that there are always people who are better than you and there are always things that are better than you."

Deidara's eyes were full of shock, and he pointed at Ohnoki and said, "Old man Ohnoki, how could you do such a thing? I almost sacrificed my life for art just now."

Ohnoki touched his beard and said in a pretentious manner, "If I don't do this, how can I let your teacher do it? Don't blame the teacher. The teacher is doing this for your own good. Let's see if you will pursue art in the future."

After a moment of silence, Deidara said seriously:

"I can't stop pursuing the art of explosion. Today's fight with Konan made me understand what the art of explosion is! I will continue to move forward along this path!"

When Ohnoki heard this, the smile on his face froze instantly, and he gave Deidara a slap.

"Deidara, go back and reflect on your mistakes. Why are you still pursuing art? Look at Byakuya and Konan, they are only a few years older than you, and they have become the strongest ninjas in the ninja world."

Deidara said dissatisfiedly: "It's because I didn't prepare enough clay, otherwise Konan would definitely not be my opponent, and the one called Byakuya is the same. As long as he is well prepared, he will definitely not be my opponent."

After hearing the name of Byakuya, Ohnoki's expression became more serious: "Deidara, even if you are well prepared, you can't be Byakuya's opponent. That guy's strength is unfathomable."

It was the first time that Deidara saw Ohnoki showing such an expression, and he wondered: "Old man Ohnoki, is the man called Byakuya really strong?"

Ohnoki nodded and said: "Very strong, his current strength is comparable to mine. In the next few decades, he will definitely grow into a ninja that makes the ninja world tremble."

After speaking, Ohnoki sighed softly.

When he was young, he met the First Hokage and Uchiha Madara, who were ninjas that shook the ninja world. Their mere existence was enough to suppress the ambitions of the four major ninja villages.

He originally thought that such a strong man would never appear again.

But after he entered his sixties, such a monster appeared in the ninja world again. Although he might not be able to reach the height of the First Hokage, it was enough to make him afraid.

Deidara didn't know what Ohnoki was sighing about, but he remembered the teacher's expression at the moment and remembered the name Bai Ye deeply.
