Ōnoki knew he had been tricked; Yuuki had given him a warning in a reasonable and legitimate way.
After the flash.
Yuuki, his expression unchanged, released Ōnoki's hand, then turned and pointed towards the Konoha gate.
"Please!"
Ōnoki remained expressionless, letting out a long sigh in his heart.
Endure!
I am Ōnoki, the Two-Tails, with the Will of Stone. Uchiha Tomoki, your childish tricks cannot affect me in any way!
After a slight nod, Ōnoki stepped forward and walked towards Konoha.
And just as Ōnoki was about to pass Yuuki, Yuuki also turned and walked back.
Most Ninja neither cared nor paid attention to such a minor action, but as the Tsuchikage for so many years, would Ōnoki not understand its meaning?
The Land of Earth wasn't without nobles.
Uchiha Tomoki, don't push your luck!
Ōnoki was about to show appropriate anger to display his attitude, but in the next instant, he forcefully suppressed it.
The 'click' sounds and flashes around them began to become continuous.
Once Yuuki and Ōnoki entered Konoha, the large group of people behind them quickly followed.
And so, a vast crowd made their way to the Hokage Building.
Along the way, many Konoha Villagers watched curiously from the roadside, after all, it was the Tsuchikage, someone they had only heard rumors about but never seen.
However, most Konoha Villagers seemed deeply disappointed after seeing him.
Before a deeper understanding, people could only judge by appearance. The feeling Ōnoki gave the Konoha Villagers was just one: his reputation was far from deserved.
This was almost the sentiment of all Konoha Villagers, whether Ninja or ordinary people, especially when he was in the same frame as their Lord Yuuki.
Ōnoki was truly fuming; he wasn't blind, he could see the sighing faces of the Konoha Villagers.
All of it made Ōnoki curse inwardly.
You Konoha bastards, have I eaten your Konoha rice? What's with your expressions of extreme disappointment!
Ōnoki, who was already short-tempered, suppressed the urge to curse out loud.
It wasn't that Ōnoki had good self-restraint, but he knew that if he couldn't control his emotions, he would be the one to suffer.
With an expressionless face, the procession finally arrived at the Hokage Building.
Behind them, those who needed to focus on the exam went to focus on the exam, and those who needed to work went to work, disbanding on the spot.
Only Kitsuchi, as he left, gave Ōnoki an encouraging look.
After entering the reception room, only Yuuki and Ōnoki remained, along with other staff members within the Hokage Building.
"Bang!"
With no one else present, Ōnoki, who had not yet taken his seat, slammed his palm on the table, his nose flushed crimson with blood.
"Hokage, are you trying to provoke a war with Iwagakure?"
To say how angry Ōnoki was, it wasn't that extreme; he was indeed quite angered while walking on the road.
But now that he was indoors, Ōnoki was not someone whose actions were swayed by emotions, nor would he forget why he came to Konoha.
In the current situation, there was a little anger, but more of it was feigned.
Acting is something that some old actors hone through experience and time, while others are natural talents, understanding and mastering it instantly.
Yuuki, being a prime example of a natural talent, saw through Ōnoki's acting, which was even slightly inferior to Hiruzen Sarutobi's, almost at a glance.
Playing me, are you? Yuuki, who had just finished a confrontation with Black Zetsu not long ago, wasn't going to back down.
"Bang!!!"
Yuuki also slammed his hand down, the sound at least twice as loud as Ōnoki's.
"Tsuchikage, words must be accounted for. Do you really want to start a war with Konoha? Then you won't be leaving today!"
To be honest, this was also a challenge for Yuuki; he could only try his best to recall the angry expressions of Ay and Tsunade in his mind, imitating them with all his might.
Is this kid so volatile in private?
Yuuki was indeed a gifted performer; Ōnoki couldn't find any flaws for a moment.
Lose the battle, but not the spirit. The pretense he put on, he had to see it through, even if he had to kneel.
Ōnoki felt that the method he had chosen was wrong, but at this point, he couldn't back out and could only continue.
Releasing his Chakra little by little, Ōnoki's face became enraged.
"Hokage...."
"As expected, you have ill intentions. Attack!"
Yuuki didn't care what Ōnoki said; he immediately made his judgment when Ōnoki unleashed his Chakra and directly ordered an attack.
Ōnoki's Chakra, which had just been mobilized, instantly became still and calm. It wasn't because Ōnoki suddenly calmed down, but because the various seals in the room began to glow.
This is completely outrageous!
Ōnoki had never seen anyone like Yuuki, who would immediately resort to action at the slightest disagreement. He was a Kage, after all; was he really so shameless?
Relying on his persona of being unreasonable and stubborn, Ōnoki had gained many benefits for Iwagakure during his decades as Tsuchikage.
Ōnoki's reputation in the Ninja World had always been poor, but Ōnoki didn't care. Compared to face, tangible benefits that could strengthen Iwagakure were what mattered.
Only magic can defeat magic. To deal with a shameless person, you just need to be more shameless than them.
At this moment, Ōnoki was stunned by Yuuki's 'dirty fighting' tactics, which Yuuki had learned from him!
