Chapter 309: Ohnoki's Inner Demon

After thinking all night, Sarutobi Hiruzen finally made a decision that went against his ancestors in order to temporarily appease Uchiha Mai.

That is to separate the Hollow Department directly led by Uchiha Mai from the Anbu, and at the same time raise the department's authority and level to the same position as the Anbu.

It is still directly under the command of the Hokage, and still has various privileges to be able to dominate Konoha, and can still arbitrarily call on Konoha's intelligence ninjas outside.

It's just that the organization has expanded from one division to four divisions, which is equivalent to the previous Anbu.

The new Anbu is already similar to the East Factory and West Factory of the Ming Dynasty.

This move can barely match the contribution made by Uchiha Mai, and secondly, it will not remove the master of the sect, so that Minato and Orochimaru will have bad associations and dampen their enthusiasm.

The only disadvantage is that it will further release the Uchiha, a fierce beast that has been suppressed for decades since the second generation.

The authority of the Security Department has been severely squeezed by the Anbu, and the Uchiha clan has long been resentful. Previously, Uchiha Mai's 5th Division only slightly eased the resentment of the Uchiha clan, which was not enough to make them completely relieved.

Now that the Hollow Division has become independent from the Anbu, it is bound to absorb a large number of masters from the Uchiha clan. The mere Security Division is not enough to match the strength of the Uchiha clan.

It is estimated that the newly established Hollow Division will have much more power than the Root Division at its peak after "Shippuden". After all, Uchiha Mai is stronger than Danzo, and his lackeys are better than the rotten fish and shrimp under Danzo.

But Sarutobi Hiruzen can only choose to compromise, and he is also very good at compromise.

What else can he do if he doesn't compromise? Force Uchiha Mai to rebel? Let him take the ninjas of the Hidden Mist Village to counterattack Konoha?

After writing a letter of appointment and asking Kakashi to go south to give it to Uchiha Mai, Sarutobi Hiruzen still felt uneasy.

He immediately summoned the team that stayed in Konoha and announced the order to separate the Hollow Division of the 5th Division of the Anbu, and it was to be executed immediately.

At first, everyone was still a little confused.

What is Sarutobi Hiruzen crazy about? Isn't one ANBU enough for him? He actually wants to set up a new ANBU, and let Uchiha Mai be the director, and the power is so great?

Doesn't he know that this move will allow the Uchiha clan to have more power and suppress other departments?

Utatane Koharu and Mitomon Kadokawa objected, and Fugaku agreed.

Then Sarutobi Hiruzen took out the mission record that Kakashi made up afterwards, which is the battle report: Uchiha Mai single-handedly destroyed the Mist Hidden Department, wiped out the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, and killed the Mizukage Yagura in battle.

The two Hokage advisors had no objection.

For such a contribution, there must be a heavy reward, but if you want to stop it, you can also find reasons: insufficient qualifications, too young, and let's talk about it later.

Uchiha Mai knew the nature of Sarutobi Hiruzen and the two Hokage advisors early on, and made a silent threat, if you dare to suppress me, I will dare to turn against you.

Konoha was at the critical moment of life and death, and the top leaders of Konoha had to consider the possibility of forcing Uchiha Mai to rebel, as well as the consequences of forcing him to rebel.

That was something Konoha could never bear.

In this way, the proposal of the Hollow Department to become independent and become the new Anbu was passed unanimously.

…

A few days later, because of Konoha's publicity, the news that Uchiha Mai blew up the Hidden Mist Village and killed the Mizukage and the Seven Ninja Swordsmen finally spread throughout the ninja world.

Breaking out such news at this time would help boost morale and, by the way, hit the morale of other ninja villages.

In fact, most of the ninjas in the ninja world were completely confused after hearing this news, including the Konoha ninjas.

I haven't heard of the news that the Hidden Mist Village attacked Konoha. How could more than 2,000 ninjas die directly, and the Seven Ninja Swordsmen and the Mizukage are gone, and it ended before it even started.

Could this be fake news fabricated by Konoha to boost morale?

The Third Hokage is really old and confused. It's okay to fabricate false news. Even if you are careful, you can destroy the Hidden Mist Village alone. It's fake at first glance!

It's not allowed, absolutely not allowed. There can't be such a powerful and evil person in the ninja world!

The first reaction of most people after hearing this news is not to believe it.

Only the Tsuchikage Ohnoki was skeptical. He didn't deny it at the first time, but chose to verify it carefully.

There is no other reason, he was simply scared by Uchiha Madara. Ohnoki will never forget the experience of being killed by Uchiha Madara in one glance and being scared to death when he saw Susanoo.

Even if he knows shame and then courage now, and has worked hard for many years to gain the strength to stand at the top of the ninja world, Ohnoki is particularly afraid of Susanoo.

What's more, he has fought with Uchiha Mai and knows how evil Uchiha Mai is.

Since his debut, his strength has never stopped improving, as if there is no end, and the stronger the strength, the greater the improvement each time.

The gap between the jonin and the level beyond the jonin level, even for someone as strong as Minato Namikaze and Jinchūriki, took several years to cross, but Uchiha Mai only took one year.

In addition, Ohnoki had fought with Uchiha Mai before, and knew that in addition to solid basic skills, the latter also had a pair of mutant eyes that surpassed the three magatama.

Is it easier for those eyes to evolve into a Mangekyō than an ordinary three magatama?

After evolving into a Mangekyō, will it be more powerful than an ordinary Mangekyō?

With such doubts, Ohnoki began to verify, and the results he got really corresponded to his guess.

Uchiha Mai did awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan, and the news that he single-handedly destroyed the Hidden Mist Village was not a rumor.

Onoki was not happy when his inner guess was confirmed, but rather worried. Who would be happy when a strong man who could rival the young Madara suddenly appeared on the opposite side?

That was the Mangekyō Sharingan!

The one who awakened the Mangekyō was Uchiha Mai, a young prodigy who could fight against the shadow of a village.

In the dim light, Onoki seemed to see the rise of a new Uchiha Madara.

He was afraid.

Once Onoki thought that he had become strong enough, both in strength and in mind, with the strongest offensive technique in the ninja world, Dust Release.

He was able to look at the fact that he was killed by Uchiha Madara in one glance with an open mind, and could tell others about it calmly.

Now Onoki found that he couldn't do it. At least he panicked for a moment after hearing that Uchiha Mai awakened the Mangekyō, and he was not so calm.

It turned out that the relief and open-mindedness he had once felt were only because Uchiha Madara was dead, not because he had become strong and confident.

Susanoo was Onoki's inner demon.

"Yellow Earth." Ohnoki called his biological son, his face gloomy.

Honest and kind Yellow Earth asked: "What's the matter, father?"

Ohnoki wrote a letter and handed it to Yellow Earth, saying: "Give the letter to the Third Raikage immediately and tell him that I want to negotiate peace with him."

Peace negotiation? Yellow Earth didn't quite understand.

When the Iwagakure Village joined the war, it attacked the two ninja villages of Kumogakure and Konoha at the same time.

Both Ohnoki and the Third Raikage were very strong-willed, and neither of them was willing to give in first. Now there are still occasional frictions between the two ninja villages, and the two shadows fight from time to time.

This has led to the need for both ninja villages to guard against each other and unable to devote all their energy to the cause of attacking Konoha.

Yellow Earth didn't understand what exactly caused his father, who had always been strong and stubborn, to give in to the Third Raikage first.

But he didn't ask much, but took the letter and went straight to the headquarters of the Cloud Village.

As the saying goes, when two countries are at war, they don't kill the envoys. In many cases, war and negotiations are carried out at the same time.

Huang Tu's identity is quite special. He is the biological son of Ohnoki. He traveled all the way without any obstacles and met the third generation Raikage without any obstacles.

Of course, this is also due to the fact that he was a single envoy to the Hidden Cloud Village and there was no threat.

The third generation Raikage looked at the letter in his hand and looked at Huang Tu who was surrounded by a group of muscular men in the hall. He still couldn't figure it out.

Why would the old stubborn Ohnoki take the lead in surrendering to him and negotiating peace?

"Dotai, take a look at this." The third generation Raikage called the secretary Dotai and handed him the letter in his hand.

Dotai was also slightly startled after seeing the content of the letter, and then after a little thought, he had a guess in his heart.

"Lord Raikage wants to ask why Ohnoki took the initiative to negotiate peace?" Dotai asked.

"That's right." The third generation Raikage nodded.

Huang Tu in the hall also pricked up his ears, wanting to know what the reason was that made his omnipotent father surrender on his own initiative.

Tutai pondered for a moment and expressed his guess: "I think it's because of Uchiha Mai."

"Uchiha Mai, what do you mean?" The third generation Raikage was puzzled. How could it be related to this kid from Konoha?

"Lord Raikage, it has been determined before that Uchiha Mai suppressed the entire Kirigakure alone. It was a rumor spread by Konoha."

"Yes." The third generation Raikage nodded in agreement.

Who would believe such a fantasy?

"This news is probably true." Tutai said in a deep voice.

"What?" The third generation Raikage asked in surprise, what are you talking about?

Tsuchida did not explain, but asked: "Kill more than 2,000 ninjas in one day, slaughter the seven ninja swordsmen, and kill Mizukage Yagura in battle.

Sir Raikage, are you sure you can do this?"

The Raikage pondered for a moment and replied: "It is possible, but the confidence is not great, probably less than 10%.

Give me more time, it won't be a problem to do these three things separately, but one day, my physical strength is a problem."

The Great Saint Body can fight against the Great Emperor, and the Great Thunder Release Body Refining Secret Technique is enough to rival the second or even the third and fourth stages of Susanoo, which can be called a humanoid Gundam.

The Third Generation Raikage, who has the strongest attack and the strongest defense, is one of the few ninjas in the ninja world who is not afraid of siege.

"In other words, if one's own strength is strong enough, the defense is strong enough, and the physical strength can keep up, it is not impossible to do this." Tsuchida concluded.

The Third Raikage narrowed his eyes and asked again: "I have heard of Uchiha Mai. His ability to kill is second to none in the Ninja World. His double Kekkei Genkai is particularly good at group battles. He fights to support his opponent and becomes stronger and stronger.

But how does he solve the problem of defense?"

If the problem of defense cannot be solved, there is no margin for error. Even if you can fight one hundred or one thousand with your strong endurance.

It is impossible to do these three things in a day, because your delicate operation like dancing in a sea of ​​fire and swords will consume a lot of your mind.

Touchai narrated his final guess: "I think it is because of the legendary Mangekyō Sharingan.

The village archives have recorded that Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Izuna, relying on the Susanoo technique, led the Uchiha family to be invincible in the Ninja World.

Any forces or families other than the Senju are not a match for the two brothers.

After Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha joined forces, the Warring States Period ended, forcing the major ninja villages to obey their allocation of ninja village garrison areas. "

The third-generation Raikage suddenly realized that the fog had been cleared and his mind was opened.

Uchiha Mai is known as the most talented Uchiha in history. The talent and strength he showed in his youth were far superior to Uchiha Madara of the same age.

He also has a pair of mutated Sharingan that injured Ohnoki. It is reasonable and normal for him to awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan.

In addition, the third-generation Raikage also knew the interesting story that Ohnoki was humiliated by Uchiha Madara. It seems that Ohnoki's grandson has not yet resolved his psychological shadow.

If this is true, then we really have to think about whether to agree to Ohnoki's peace talks.

The three major ninja villages attacked Konoha together, because the Cloud Village and the Rock Village were still fighting. Although they could put great pressure on Konoha, they were not enough to completely crush Konoha.

Before this, everyone had always placed their hopes on the Kirigakure Village. As long as If the Kirigakure Village attacks Konoha, everything will be fine.

But now the Kirigakure Village has been destroyed, at least it can no longer play the role everyone expected. On the contrary, Konoha's Uchiha Mai has become stronger and awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan.

As one side grows stronger, the other side loses strength, and Konoha becomes the dominant side.

As long as Uchiha Mai can spare her hands to support any front, she can cooperate with the Konoha troops in that battle zone and launch a devastating counterattack.

If it is allowed to develop, in the worst case, the three ninja villages may be defeated one by one.

Temporarily reconcile with the Hidden Rock Village, attack Konoha with all her strength to race against time, and before Uchiha Mai completely solves the Kirigakure Village and vacates, attack the rest of Konoha's forces, which is the current optimal solution.

The situation is already very clear, and the answer is about to come out. The third generation Raikage is not a fool, and he can naturally figure this problem out.

"Okay.

As long as the Hidden Rock Village withdraws its troops first, I will agree to the peace agreement of the Hidden Rock Village.

Before you betray your faith, the Hidden Cloud Village will never take the initiative to attack the Hidden Rock Village. "

The Third Raikage still put forward a few conditions.

If Ohnoki withdraws his troops first, then from the outside world's point of view, Ohnoki is the first to give in.

The war between the two villages was started by Ohnoki. The Third Raikage can temporarily put aside the grudge for the sake of the overall situation, but being beaten for no reason is not very pleasant after all.

Just charge a small interest, at least it will look better.
