Onoki vaguely felt some inspiration from the gourd, but it was the kind of invisible and intangible, and there was no way to feel it too deeply, and there was no way to transform it into his own.
"Yes..."
When Aoba heard Onoki, he smiled and shook his head, "I learned it from a child."
"Who is it?"
Onoki's eyes widened. He caught a lot of substantial information in Aoba's words.
A child.
This meant that there was a child with good talent.
Learned it.
This meant that the child should also have mastered Magnet Release Bloodline Limit.
Looks like...
Sunagakure had a successor!
This point.
It could be said that Onoki's heart was aching.
As he grew older, he began to look for the new Tsuchikage candidates. He had already realized that it was time to abdicate.
But...
He discovered a great tragedy.
There wasn't a single ninja that could do it in Iwagakure!
Not a single one!
Even the Jinchuriki's strength was only average!
It could only be that he, who possessed the Dust Release Bloodline Limit, continued to bitterly endure!
He couldn't even find a second dust release user.
This made him very worried about Iwagakure's future, so much so that he always wanted to expand as much as possible when he was still alive and contribute to Iwagakure's future.
He was different from Hiruzen.
There were countless potential newcomers behind Hiruzen.
It was just that Hiruzen was unwilling to give up his authority.
Because of this reason, Konohagakure changed from the age of geniuses to an age where talents withered.
If Hiruzen were to rule the Iwagakure, he would be very happy. That way, he could continue to occupy the Kage position without caring about any possible undercurrents.
Aoba looked at Onokii n a daze.
He didn't expect it.
He casually answer it yet the other party actually asked.
But he couldn't say it was Gaara!
"Gourd Baby."
Aoba said casually. He was now a mature old actor. He could enter the scene in a second. There was no need for too many emotions to brew. He can start the show without any ambiguity.
Making up information was such a thing.
For him.
It was even simpler than eating.
"Gourd Baby?"
Onoki's eyes widened. When he first heard this name, he felt that it was very funny. It was very childish to have such a sloppy name. But slowly, the more he thought about it, the more shocked he became.
What kind of child was this?
Named after the gourd.
It absolutely could not be underestimated.
It seems...
Sunagakure was not as simple as he thought.
For a moment.
Onoki immediately fell into silence.
He didn't know what to say.
"Let's go!"
Aoba looked at Onoki, who was shocked by the Gourd Baby's name. He waved his hand and urged, "You are the master of this place. You can't let me go in to welcome you!"
"Come in with me."
Onoki shook his head helplessly. He looked at Aoba with a touch of envy in his eyes. Now, even this Kazekage had a qualified successor. Only he could not see when a junior could make him retire at ease.
After that.
Onoki walked toward his office.
Aoba followed behind Onoki. He didn't know that Onoki was thinking about the future, but he could see that Onoki was very worried and thought that it was because he was next to him that Onoki felt conflicted.
A few minutes later.
Aoba sat on the chair in Onoki's office, and Onoki was sitting opposite him.
"Kazekage-dono, now we have sat down. There is no one here except you and me. You can tell me what you mean." Onoki said. He was completely pulled in.
"Work with me to attack Konoha," Aoba said casually.
"How do we work together?" Onoki saw that the other party was going straight to the point, so he didn't need to probe. After all, this Kazekage had already talked about it. Some vague words were meaningless.
"Tsuchikage-dono, I think the ninjas that were trapped by me were pretty good. Why did they retreat back?" Aoba asked with a smile.
"Retreat back..." Onoki frowned. After that, he shook his head helplessly and said: "I just got the information from the front line. Our camp was burned by a Konohagakure ninja. There was no way to stay there, so they could only helplessly retreat."
"When will you go there again?" Aoba asked directly, he has already started to lead Onoki by the nose.
"Um..." Onoki frowned even more. He really didn't want to answer Aoba's question, but now he couldn't easily offend Aoba, so he had to say it. He couldn't help but feel even more unhappy but he still said, "We need to have a meeting to study this."
"How about this..."
Aoba raised a finger and gently knocked on the table in front of him. The knocking had a strong rhythm.
"I'll arrange it with you."
"These ninjas will immediately prepare their needed equipment when they come back."
"Then go back to the front line immediately."
Aoba said one sentence after another. After he finished speaking, Onoki's face was full of black lines.
"I'm afraid this is not good." Onoki didn't think this matter was not good, but he felt that listening to Kazekage's arrangements was not good, so he found an excuse and said, "I have to let these ninjas rest for a few days."
"The war situation is changing rapidly. Right now, your pressure on Konohagakure is still there. Konohagakure will definitely send ninjas to the front line as soon as possible. When your ninja goes, the situation has changed." Aoba shook his head and said.
"Even if Konohagakure ninjas arrived first, they will not start a war. That old fox Hiruzen does not want a war to happen." Onoki also shook his head.
"What if the war has already happened?" The corners of Aoba's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a sneer. He understood why Iwagakure lose when they had gained a firm advantage in the early stage. The Kage on this side was also not a hard thing. So he added, "Hiruzen does not want the war to happen. Have you ever thought that once the war can not be avoided, would he wants to win more or lose?"
"How can there be someone who wants to lose?" Onoki said helplessly.
"No."
Aoba shook his finger at Onoki and said, "You losing and him losing are different!"
"What do you mean?" Onoki was stunned.
"If you lose, you are still the Tsuchikage. If he loses, he won't be the Hokage anymore. So... what do you think?" The corners of Aoba's mouth curved even higher.
