At this moment, the main door of the Cherry Shadow Office was opened. Kurotsuchi and Chojuro also walked into the Cherry Shadow Office one after another, looking at Ao with extremely heavy expressions. "Hidden Stone Village and Hidden Cloud Village?"
"You all received the news too. Those fellows from Hidden Stone Village and Hidden Cloud Village have started to become unruly. A few years ago, they put a lot of effort into trying to infiltrate our village but failed. Now, it seems they want to use force," Ao said coldly, a chilling light in his eyes.
"These greedy fellows are truly detestable. Now that the Cherry Ninja Village is developing rapidly and flourishing, these guys actually want to start a war at this time," Chojuro said indignantly.
"They are precisely targeting this moment. After all, Hidden Sand and Hidden Leaf Villages currently have no energy to spare for them. This means they will have no restraints whatsoever. If Hidden Rain Village also agrees to their demands, then all obstacles will disappear," Kurotsuchi said with a heavy expression.
"Hidden Rain Village will likely agree. After all, Hidden Rain Village is just a medium-sized ninja village. Facing these two major ninja villages, Hidden Stone Village and Hidden Cloud Village, it doesn't have the power to say 'no'," Kurotsuchi sighed and said.
"No matter what, we must take some action. I have already sent some people from the Uzumaki Clan to Hidden Rain Village. If we are lucky, we might even encounter people from Hidden Stone Village and Hidden Cloud Village. In that case, we can negotiate with Hidden Stone, Hidden Cloud, and Hidden Rain at the same time. Whether it succeeds or not, we must at least delay some time first," Ao said faintly.
"Indeed, that Uzumaki guy isn't here at this time. How annoying!!!" Kurotsuchi cursed under her breath. "Ao, if we were to fight Hidden Stone Village and Hidden Cloud Village, what are our chances of winning?" Chojuro asked suspiciously.
"Infinitely close to zero. It can be said that it's fundamentally impossible to win. Although our village has developed a lot over these past few years, the quality and abilities of our ninjas have greatly improved, there is still a huge gap between the overall strength of our village and Hidden Stone Village and Hidden Cloud Village, whether in terms of resources or the number of ninjas.
And most importantly, both Hidden Stone Village and Hidden Cloud Village have Jinchuriki, especially Hidden Cloud Village. According to intelligence, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki of Hidden Cloud Village can even completely manipulate the power of Tailed Beasts," Ao said with an extremely heavy expression.
"Manipulate the power of Tailed Beasts?" Hearing Ao's words, everyone fell silent. Everyone present knew how powerful the Tailed Beasts were. The Uzumaki Clan was the one who manipulated the One-Tail to destroy Konoha, the largest village in the ninja world. The power of Tailed Beasts was evident.
"The Raikage might not necessarily send out a Jinchuriki. After all, we are not a ninja village like Konoha," Kurotsuchi said.
"But even so, we are not a match for Hidden Cloud Village, let alone if Hidden Cloud Village and Hidden Stone Village join forces," Chojuro said worriedly.
"Hmph," Ao let out a deep breath and said, "No matter what, we can't do nothing. This village is our village. The village and the country are closely linked. If we lose, then this country will also be invaded, or even destroyed, by Hidden Stone Village and Hidden Cloud Village. So even if we die, we absolutely cannot let Hidden Stone and Hidden Cloud succeed!!!" Ao said, his emotions a little agitated.
Everyone nodded. Ao continued, "The effect of sending people to negotiate will probably not be great. Hidden Cloud Village and Hidden Stone Village are determined to deal with us. Prepare for battle as soon as possible. Various supplies and equipment must also be quickly mobilized."
"Not bad. Now that Konoha and Hidden Sand are both heavily injured, there is no better opportunity than now to deal with us," Chojuro nodded, then immediately said to Ao, "Then I will go prepare medical supplies and food, and also call back all the Cherry Ninjas who are currently on missions."
Ao nodded, and Kurotsuchi also said, "Then I'll go prepare ninja tools." Ao nodded, then said, "I'll also write a letter to Hidden Mist Village. After all, Uzumaki also said before leaving that Hidden Mist Village owed him a favor. If Hidden Mist Village is willing to help us, the situation might improve quite a bit."
Both of them nodded, then quickly walked out of the Cherry Shadow Office. "Bang!!!" Ao slammed his fist heavily onto the wooden table. "Damn Hidden Cloud Village and Hidden Stone Village!!!" Ao cursed in a low, fierce voice.
At this moment, in the Hidden Stone Village of the Land of Earth, in that massive conference room, the high-ranking members of Hidden Stone Village sat around the long table. The Third Tsuchikage looked at the scroll in his hand and couldn't help but burst into laughter. "Hahahaha, excellent! Hidden Rain Village has already agreed to our demands."
"Hidden Rain Village has no right to say no. Now all obstacles have been removed. The Land of Cherry is already within our grasp," another elder said with a smile.
"However, Hidden Rain Village's appetite isn't small. They actually want to get one-tenth of the profits. It's just a borrowed path, is it really worth it?" another elder said with some dissatisfaction.
"Although their appetite is a bit big, there's nothing we can do. Hidden Rain Village is so cooperative, so we should give them some benefits. If we were to use force and fight Hidden Rain Village, there would be considerable losses. After all, Hanzo the Salamander of Hidden Rain Village is not to be trifled with," an elder opposite said contemplatively.
Hearing this elder's words, the others also nodded. Hanzo the Salamander's strength was indeed beyond doubt. If Hidden Rain Village were to resist desperately, although it wouldn't cause injuries to tendons or bones, it would indeed cause them considerable losses. For them, this would be an unwarranted loss. Their goal was just to get benefits, and there was no need for unnecessary sacrifices.
"Alright, everyone, go make the relevant preparations. Prepare to march on the Land of Cherry!!!" Onoki waved his hand and spoke.
