Chapter 276 - Chapter 276: Onoki's Test

Back then, he was even younger than the other party. He himself was already this old, Madara should have died of old age by now.

But based on the information the spy got from the Hidden Cloud Village, this news had a high probability of being true.

The Hidden Cloud Village wouldn't directly state this person's identity without evidence.

He had once faced Uchiha Madara directly, and he had left a very deep impression on him.

Strong and overbearing.

Back then, although Hashirama Senju had promised them in Iwagakure an alliance, when it came to Madara, he wanted to directly dominate them and make Iwagakure submit.

The other party made such an unreasonable request, and back then, he himself was completely powerless.

At that time, Uchiha Madara unleashed Susanoo, and the powerful aura alone was enough to send even himself flying.

Fortunately, this guy defected from Konoha Village. Otherwise, if he were still in their Konoha Village, their Iwagakure Village would not dare to wage war against Konoha.

This guy is far more terrifying than the Third Raikage of the Hidden Cloud Village.

The Third Raikage required their Iwagakure Village to gather ten thousand ninjas to be able to eliminate him, and even then they lost a large number of ninjas.

Otherwise, upon receiving news that the Hidden Cloud Village was defeated by Konoha Village, their Iwagakure Village would definitely have seized the opportunity to invade the Land of Lightning and bite off a large piece of meat.

It's just that their own losses were extremely severe. If they were to start a war again, people in the village probably wouldn't agree.

At that time, when they got news of the Hidden Cloud Village's defeat by Konoha Village, and that they had paid a large amount of compensation…

Onoki was secretly happy, but it was a bit of a pity that the strong one from Konoha Village didn't strike the Hidden Cloud Village's ninjas with a killing blow. That was truly a pity.

Otherwise, the Hidden Cloud Village could have been wiped out, and their Land of Earth could even start expanding.

However, now he was starting to worry. Because their Iwagakure Village's Tailed Beast Jinchuriki might encounter Uchiha Madara's attack.

The information said that Uchiha Madara didn't strike the Hidden Cloud Village's headquarters, but instead attacked the Tailed Beast Jinchuriki Killer Bee.

This time the Hidden Cloud Village lost another tailed beast, which is definitely great news for Iwagakure Village.

Tailed Beasts are extremely important weapons of war, and the Hidden Cloud Village's strength has decreased again.

But Uchiha Madara, this guy, might not refrain from coming to seize the two tailed beasts of their Iwagakure Village.

And what's even more unfortunate is that the two tailed beast Jinchuriki in the village actually had a falling out with him and both left the village.

Actually, leaving the village isn't necessarily a bad thing. After all, Jinchuriki are unstable and it's hard to guarantee they won't go out of control.

But now, it's an extremely bad situation. Even if Jinchuriki are unstable factors, he still doesn't want to lose two tailed beasts.

That would greatly reduce Iwagakure Village's deterrent force against enemy villages, and the village's strength would become much weaker.

And beside him, the strong man Kitsuchi looked at him with a surprised yet worried and sighing expression.

He couldn't help but ask, "Father, what's wrong?"

On the other side, the girl nearly 1.6 meters tall, Kurotsuchi, also looked at her grandfather. She was very puzzled in her heart, wondering what major event had happened to make her grandfather so troubled.

So she proactively leaned over.

Onoki didn't put the intel away. This was his granddaughter, there was no need to hide anything.

His granddaughter had great ninja talent and even possessed a Kekkei Genkai.

In the future, she would definitely be a pillar of the village. The earlier she got involved with village affairs, the earlier she could be nurtured into a talent.

Kitsuchi was helpless. His father really spoiled his granddaughter too much.

This was a big matter in the village right now, so he directly snatched the letter from the old man's hand.

He looked at it carefully. The more he read, the more his brows furrowed.

"Father, this...?"

Kurotsuchi was very dissatisfied upon seeing this. "Dad, let me see it too."

Kitsuchi handed the secret letter directly to her and looked at his father.

'Uchiha Madara is still alive in this world, perhaps the entire ninja world is about to be stirred up.'

Onoki looked at his son. "You should know what to do next, right?"

Actually, he was already quite old. He probably couldn't do it for many more years and was close to retirement.

Before that, he still needed to train the next Tsuchikage well.

Right now, Iwagakure Village didn't have much talent. Most likely, only his son Kitsuchi could take over.

Unfortunately, his son didn't possess a Kekkei Genkai. That was quite ridiculous, he didn't inherit his bloodline power, but instead his granddaughter did.

However, his son still had considerable strength, he was already at elite jonin level.

The most important quality of a leader is decision-making. He wanted to see what kind of decisions Kitsuchi would make.

Kurotsuchi heard his father's words, thought carefully for a moment, and slowly said, "If Uchiha Madara is really revived, the entire ninja world probably won't have peace. This guy is collecting tailed beasts, probably with some sinister purpose."

Onoki was very pleased. Although he looked big and dumb, he was actually quite thoughtful.

"You're right. So, what should we do next?"

Kurotsuchi understood this was a test from his father. Since childhood, his father had been strict with him.

"If Uchiha Madara wants to collect tailed beasts, then he'll probably go after the tailed beasts belonging to our Iwagakure Village."

"Either we send people to protect them, or we summon the Jinchuriki back to the village. But I think, judging from those two guys' personalities, they probably won't obediently return."

"And since they're Jinchuriki, using forceful methods likely won't work."

Onoki was very pleased, his son thinking this far was already very good.

"If you can think this far, that's very good. So I'll personally go."

"I'll even yield to that Roshi and Han, strongly persuading them to return to the village."

"I, the Tsuchikage, will lower myself to plead with them, surely they'll give me some face, right?"

Beside them, the girl Kurotsuchi finished reading the secret letter, and looked at the person they were discussing, Madara.

She couldn't help but ask curiously, "Grandpa, you're invincible, right? Is that Madara really that strong? Even you and Dad are this nervous and making plans?"

In her eyes, her grandfather was invincible. He possessed an even more advanced Kekkei Tota than Kekkei Genkai.

According to her grandfather's introduction, Kekkei Tota was formed from the combination of three chakra nature transformations.

In the entire ninja world, there were very few people who had it.
