As one of the top three of the five major countries, Tsuchikage Onoki has a great psychological advantage over small countries like the Rain Country.
Since Konoha and Sunagakure don't want to play with themselves, then they should take action first and take the benefits directly into their mouths before they take action.
While Ohnoki was negotiating business cooperation with Konan like other envoys, he also arranged for the ninjas in the envoy to start spying on the news.
The members of the mission arranged by Onoki are almost all composed of ninjas from the Iwagakure Village Intelligence Organization.
Under Ohnoki's orders, these ninjas began to spy on information in the Hidden Rain Village.
The actions of the Iwagakure ninja were simply a blatant crime in front of the informed Nagato.
Nagato, who was planning to use Iwagakure to establish his authority, chose zero tolerance and captured all these Iwagakure ninjas in just half a day.
At this time, Onoki was immediately furious.
In a mere Amegakure Village, a guy who came out of nowhere to replace an aging Hanzo dared to capture the ninjas of our Iwagakure Village?
The ninja world has only been stable for more than ten years, but some people have forgotten the prestige of Iwagakure Village?
Such provocative behavior is simply not giving me Ohnoki face!
Of course, beneath Ohnoki's angry appearance, there was a secretly happy heart.
He was worried that he couldn't find a suitable reason to attack Yuyin, so why not just send him to his door now?
Immediately, Ohnoki, with only two of his subordinates who were not involved in the intelligence spying work, questioned Nagato in front of other envoys.
"Nagato, what do you mean by Amegakure Village? Why did you arrest the ninjas of Iwagakure Village for no reason? Do you want to declare war on Iwagakure Village?" Onoki came to complain first, completely ignoring the spying behavior of his men.
"Tsuchikage, you ninjas from the Iwagakure Village secretly invaded the secret place of my Amegakure Village, and even used illusions to torture the innocent villagers of the Amegakure Village for information. What do you want to do? Do you think I, the Amegakure Village, are easy to bully?"
Nagato's tough attitude was beyond Ohnoki's expectation. He looked at the young leader of Amegakure Village in front of him and was unsure where this guy's confidence came from.
Could it be that Amegakure Village has secretly turned towards Konoha?
From Ohnoki's point of view, other than this possibility, he couldn't think of any other trump card that Nagato had to make such a tough response.
"It's all nonsense. The ninjas of our Iwagakure Village have always abided by the laws and regulations of other countries and would never do what you said. I think you want to slander our Iwagakure Village and sway favors to some people," Onoki said sarcastically.
.
The confrontation between Onoki and Nagato made other envoys from small countries present look askance. These guys were all smart people. After listening to a few words, they all left the scene.
From the perspective of the envoys from these small countries, the conflict between Amegakure Village and Iwagakure Village is most likely a way for other big countries to fight against the Earth Country.
The struggle between big countries is not something small countries like them can participate in. If they are careful, the country will be destroyed and the nation will be destroyed.
Faced with Ohnoki's unreasonable beating, Nagato also felt angry. He didn't like these big countries, and he had not forgotten his childhood experiences.
"Tsuchikage, I will not release your ninjas. They will receive fair punishment here."
"Today's juniors are really ignorant!" Seeing Nagato being so ignorant, Ohnoki was also angry.
After saying that, Ohnoki put his hands behind his back and flew up from the ground, the aura of a strong man emanating from his body.
Facing Ohnoki's powerful aura, Nagato stood firm and motionless. Under Nagato's control, the Rinnegan Eye covered by the beautiful boy began to activate its abilities.
Nagato chose to strike first. He controlled the gravity to directly suck the unprepared Ohnoki in front of him, and then used repulsion to bounce him away.
If he hadn't had the ability to fly, he would have been thrown to the ground awkwardly by the repulsive force.
How dare you? A guy from Yuyin Village dares to sneak attack you? Are you really tired of living?
"Okay! Very good!" Onoki flew in the air and laughed angrily, "Is this your attitude? Nagato! The ninja world has been peaceful for so long, and you juniors have forgotten my reputation!"
Onoki was really angry. One of the majestic Five Shadows was unexpectedly attacked by a junior from Yuyin Village.
Nagato didn't waste any time and directly summoned five clones besides Payne to surround Ohnoki.
"Hey! I said, are you really not going to help?" Outside the street where Nagato and Onoki were fighting, Tsunade and Kizaru were sitting in a tavern with a shed facing the street, at a table near the street.
Faced with Tsunade's question, Kizaru drank the wine in the wine glass leisurely, and then slowly placed the wine glass on the table.
"If Nagato can't deal with a mere big wild tree, the Rain Country should just lay it down and lay it flat! Don't dream of becoming a continental trade center." Kizaru said as he picked up the side dishes on the table.
Put it in your mouth and chew it deliciously.
The words of a mere Onoki Kizaru made Tsunade suspect that she had heard the wrong words.
Tsuchikage Ohnoki masters the only blood-successor Knockout Dust Release in the ninja world. His attack power is invincible. He is also proficient in Earth Release and is good at flying. Apart from being too old, he is definitely the top powerhouse in the ninja world.
Even if Tsunade faced Ohnoki, she was not sure of victory.
Of course, if it were a stalemate battle of attrition, Tsunade was confident that Onoki would be consumed to death.
"Although Onoki is older, he is not an easy opponent to deal with." Tsunade reminded kindly.
"That guy Nagato has mastered the power of a near god." Kizaru said with a smile.
After hearing Kizaru's words, Tsunade couldn't help but feel strong curiosity about Nagato.
The power of a god? What kind of power is this?
"I won't eat." Tsunade left her seat and stood up, preparing to go to the scene where Nagato and Onoki were fighting to watch the battle.
"Goodbye!" Kizaru sat in his seat without moving, continuing to drink and eat.
Seeing this, Tsunade left the tavern and rushed towards the street ahead.
When Tsunade arrived at the scene of the battle between Nagato and Ohnoki, the battle had already come to an end. Ohnoki was in a very embarrassed state and was pinned to the ground by Nagato's five clones.
Ohnoki's Dust Release is indeed very strong, but he is facing Nagato, the host of the Rinnegan Eye, who has the ability to absorb ninjutsu. His Dust Release is no threat to Nagato.
Without his weapon of attack, Ohnoki was no match for Nagato simply by relying on his physical form of earth escape.
Even Nagato's true body didn't even take action, and he easily defeated Ohnoki with the Six Paths clone he made.
Onoki was suppressed to the ground by the Asura Path clone and the Hungry Ghost Path, and his chakra was being continuously extracted. His clothes were in tatters, and he looked at Nagato's body in front of him with blood on the corner of his mouth.
How is it possible? What kind of power is this? And those eyes, are they the legendary eyes of reincarnation?
As one of the five major countries, Iwagakure Village also has records of the Samsara Eye. Onoki knew that it was one of the three major children's arts, but he did not know the specific ability.
In this fight, Onoki was defeated so quickly because the information was unclear.
"Ahem!" Ohnomu coughed up the blood in his throat. He raised his head and looked directly at Nagato, "Kid, those eyes of yours..."
"Reincarnation Eye!" Nagato said calmly. Since he had decided to use Onoki and Iwagakure to establish his authority, he definitely couldn't hide his Samsara Eye.
With the question in his mind answered, Onoki stopped talking. As a Tsuchikage, he had his own pride and could not beg for mercy to save his life.
Nagato walked up to Ōnoki and controlled the clone to release the suppression of Ōnoki.
"This battle was provoked by me. You will not be punished, Tsuchikage, but your subordinates must accept the punishment of Amegakure." This was the purpose of Nagato's preemptive attack.
If he just sits back and lets Onoki take the initiative, it will be difficult to deal with it after he defeats Onoki.
Killing or imprisoning Onoki will inevitably cause a war between Amegakure Village and Iwagakure Village, which is contrary to Nagato's ideas.
"Humph! Absolutely impossible! Only I can deal with my men." Although Ohnoki was defeated, he still acted very tough.
Whether it was because of Tsuchikage's identity or his personal dignity, Onoki couldn't lower his head.
As a Tsuchikage, as a strong man who has been famous in the ninja world for many years, if he bows to Nagato here, his political life will come to an end.
It is impossible for Iwagakure Village to accept a Kage who bows to the ninjas of other villages. If Onoki really does that, there will be no way out except abdication.
"Tsuchikage, let's go to the conference room to talk!" Having defeated the Tsuchikage in a public place, Nagato's goal of establishing his authority has been achieved, and the next step is to calm down the conflict.
Nagato just wanted to use Onoki to establish his authority, not to provoke a war between the two sides.
Tsunade, who had just arrived, saw Ohnoki defeated and subdued in a very short period of time, and heard Nagato's personal recognition of the Rinnegan, and suddenly recalled it.
Isn't the Nagato in front of me one of the three disciples that Jiraiya accepted in the Land of Rain?
This discovery made Tsunade feel happy. With this relationship, Konoha might be able to establish a closer and friendly relationship with Amegakure Village through Jiraiya.
Although he did not see the actual battle process, the fact that Nagato was able to defeat Ohnoki in such a short period of time illustrates his strength.
With the strength shown by Nagato and the support behind the scenes from Kizaru, the vision of Rain Country becoming the trade center of the mainland is almost 100% successful.
Nagato also noticed Tsunade's arrival. After he smiled at Tsunade and expressed his kindness, he took Ohnoki and left.
Ohnoki also understood Nagato's attitude of wanting to calm down the conflict, so he followed Nagato away in silence.
On the way out, Ohnoki had calmed down the shock and anger in his heart and began to think about the follow-up response.
The so-called "demigod" Hanzo has disappeared from Amegakure Village, and Nagato, who is more powerful and possesses the Samsara Eye, has appeared.
A strong man like Nagato can already protect a small country by himself, so even Iwagakure Village must be treated with caution.
Sometimes, a strong man who is alone is more difficult to deal with than a strong man with a good background. If Iwagakure Village really takes action against Amegakure Village, or even destroys Amegakure Village and the Kingdom of Rain, then Nagato, who has lost the drag, will be extremely vulnerable.
It is possible to transform into a revenge machine.
Just imagine how much damage a strong man with Kage level or even stronger strength, without the burden of his family and village, would cause to the ninja villages of the five major countries if he seeks revenge alone.
Not to mention anything else, simply going around destroying and massacring cities in your country, or ambushing your ninjas who are out on missions, can severely damage the vitality of any of the five major countries.
The Amegakure Village provoked the Second Ninja War. Why was it not liquidated after the defeat? Instead, Hanzo gained the reputation of a "demigod".
Isn't this just appeasing Hanzo, trapping Hanzo with the Hidden Rain Village, and calming Hanzo's ambitions with a good name that has no actual value.
Before, Nagato didn't show too much strength. Ohnoki could look down on the Amegakure Village, and he could blame a deer for a horse in front of Nagato's door and beat him up.
But when Nagato showed his strong strength, Onoki could only choose to restrain himself and give in.
In the final analysis, the ninja world is still a world of jungle, and only strength can gain the respect of others.
"Oh ho ho! It seems that Nagato did not disappoint me!" Kizaru walked up from behind Tsunade with a lit cigarette in his hand.
"Is that Nagato a disciple of Jiraiya?" Tsunade turned to look at Kizaru beside her.
"You finally recognized it. I thought you were old and your eyesight and memory were not good." Kizaru said teasingly.
"Asshole!" Tsunade clenched her fists.
"Just kidding." Kizaru smiled and took a half step back.
In a closed room that was not too spacious, Nagato and Ohnoki sat opposite each other, and the two had already started talking.
After realizing Nagato's powerful strength, Onoki's demands were relatively lowered. He no longer considered seizing the secrets of low-price products from Amegakure Village. His request was simple, let Amegakure Village release the people.
Nagato's request is even simpler, or he has already satisfied it. He just wants to use Tsuchikage Onoki, a veteran powerhouse, to establish prestige for himself and the Amegakure Village.
Nagato initially did not agree to Onoki's request, but acted very forcefully.
After several rounds of negotiations, Nagato began to relent. He reluctantly agreed to Ōnoki's request to release him, but the prerequisite was that Ōnoki must purchase a minimum of 100 million taels of goods here.
The goods provided by Nagato were inherently high-quality and low-priced. Otherwise, Ohnoki would not have had the idea to find out the reasons behind the low-priced goods. Faced with Nagato's request, Ohnoki agreed.
In this regard, the two reached a preliminary intention. Ohnoki purchased goods with a guarantee of 100 million taels on behalf of Iwagakure Village, while Nagato released and captured the Iwagakure Village ninjas.
In the next few days, the battle between Nagato and Onoki quickly spread from Amegakure Village to the entire ninja world with the spread of the news.
Nagato, the new leader of Amegakure Village, defeated the veteran Tsuchikage Onoki in just a dozen rounds, which really shocked the entire ninja world.
At the same time, the news that Nagato had the Rinnegan Eye was also spread in the ninja world.
The spread of these two news made Nagato's status as a powerful man sit back and make the entire ninja world look at him with suspicion.
