Chapter 5: Chapter 5 Super God Assist From Shimura Danzo
No one knows the specific content of the conversation between Onoki and Asahi. Whether it is Anbu or the people in the village, they all think that Onoki coming to Asahi's residence is because he is good to his students. After using some methods, an existence like Asahi is much safer than Jinchūriki, so they didn't treat Asahi like Jinchūriki, and Iwagakure was also quite lenient towards Jinchūriki.
After returning to the village, Onoki directly prepared a letter, which is for Sandaime Hokage. The specific material requirements have been clearly written on it, and even for the current Konoha, it will be hurt to take these items out.
But Onoki dared to ask for so many things. After all, there are negotiations to come, and as Asahi said, in the current situation, it is very likely for Konoha to be on a one-on-four situation, so Konoha wouldn't just dismiss such an important alliance proportion.
He showed his greed, which could weaken the vigilance of the other party, and then he could begin to slowly implement Asahi's plan. Onoki has simulated Asahi's plan by himself, and found that the probability of success is very high, and even if it is unsuccessful, there is Asahi here, so he won't suffer.
But the follow-up still needs Asahi to discuss with him slowly. Onoki is also an old fox, and Asahi is also familiar with the plot and the characters of these people. Otherwise, he really can't compare with Onoki. After all, being a Tsuchikage for many years is not a joke.
After handing over the letter to the messenger, Onoki began to wait for news, while Iwagakure's messenger quickly crossed the border of Konoha, and head to Konoha. The Shinobi World is not very big, so with the power of Shinobi, it will not take long for the messenger to arrive in Konoha.
Soon, the scroll prepared by Onoki was delivered to Hiruzen's desk.
"What the hell is going on with this guy Onoki? He wants to join hands with our Konoha? Is there something wrong with his brain?"
After Hiruzen finished reading the letter, he felt that his mind was a little bit overwhelmed. What kind of operation is this? Even though he was very knowledgeable, he was a little confused when faced with such an operation.
He can basically be sure that Onoki has bad intentions, but Hiruzen is not a vegetarian. After they joined forces with Iwagakure, there may be the possibility of them stabbing him behind the back, but can't he just defend against it? And if they are working together, he can completely let Onoki help him deal with the other hostile villages.
Shinobi is very accurate with things like intelligence. He only needs to investigate a little to know about Onoki's whereabouts. If Onoki really want to stab them from the back, it is better not to form an alliance. After all, after an alliance is formed, it is equivalent to having someone who can stab them behind the back at any time, and Konoha will be on defend against them, and there might be no chance to do anything sneaky at all.
So Hiruzen doesn't think Onoki wanted to do something, but then, why did he want to join forces with them? He can't figure it out at all. It seems that Onoki has opened his greedy mouth for resources, but Hiruzen feels that no matter how much resources are required, it would be a loss in the face of the possibility of being attacked by a lot of enemies.
So now, Hiruzen can't guess what is in Onoki's mind at all.
"Sarutobi, I heard that there was an envoy from Iwagakure, what's the matter?"
Just when Hiruzen was at a loss, Danzo came in directly without knocking on the door. At this moment, Hiruzen's face was not very good, and there was a trace of dissatisfaction in his eyes. Danzo did not respect him at all, and this Iwagakure's messenger had just delivered the leeter to his table, and Danzo has already arrived not long after.
Danzo definitely has his spies inserted, otherwise, how could he receive the news so quickly? In short, he is very upset, but he can't fall out with Danzo now, so he can only endure it.
"See it for yourself, I'm not sure what Onoki is planning to do now? With his character, how could he do such a thankless thing?"
Hiruzen still had some confusion on his face, and after Danzo received the letter and read it, he also began to have the same expression as Hiruzen just now. He also wondered if Onoki's head was kicked by a donkey. Otherwise, how could he do such a thing?
"Could it be that he originally planned to attack the other villages? With our Konoha's strength, even if he joined the other villages to attack us together, the result may not be very good, so he intends to do target the other villages, and incidentally, there is a great possibility for them to take away a batch of resources from our Konoha!"
Danzo suddenly had a flash of inspiration, his head was revolving rapidly, and he expressed his guess, as he thought that there is only this possibility now. 'If the other four Great Shinobi Villages all attack Konoha, even if they win, they won't obtain a lot of resources.'
'But what if Onoki's goal was not Konoha in the first place? By teaming up with Konoha, the situation will be three against two, and with Konoha's combat power, the probability of winning is not small. At that time, they will not only eat a large number of Konoha's resources, but also obtain a batch of resources and earning a lot of money from the other villages.' After Danzo thought of this, he felt that he should admire himself.
If Asahi knew about this, he would definitely tell Danzo 'Thanks for the super assist'. In fact, Asahi hadn't really thought about this. Asahi just planned to dig the foot of the wall, and would not stab them in the back at all, so the defense Konoha prepared would be in vain.
He is ready to be guarded, but now, Danzo's super assist is very timely.
"It's possible, and it's very likely. That old bastard Onoki is really cunning. If it really succeeds, he can make a lot of money!"
Hiruzen was also shocked. Obviously, he was completely biased by Danzo's opinion, but this possibility was indeed likely to happen. After all, during the Second Shinobi World War, Konoha was alone but still able to fight so vigorously, and now it is two against three, with Konoha's combat power, there is indeed a high probability of winning.
"Although we know his purpose, it is really uncomfortable to see this guy gaining so much for nothing. My brain is as easy to use as ever, so let me take care of the negotiation!"
Hiruzen also nodded, and Danzo has a proudful expression and felt disdain towards Hiruzen. He believed that he is the most suitable to be the Hokage.
"Then, the negotiation will be left to me. Reply first, and set the location in the Land of Grass. If Onoki agrees, I will go to the Land of Grass to negotiate with them. Now that Sunagakure is pressing so urgently, there may be war at any time. So you can't leave the village casually!"
After thinking about it again, Danzo felt that he would take care of this matter by himself. Maybe he could get Onoki to help him in the future so that he can obtain the Hokage's position if he formed a good relationship with him. Anyway, he is not in control of the villages now, so he won't suffer.
