Crossover Anime: Plundering the Heavens and Building a Dimensional Empire

Furthermore, the hatred between us and the other side is immense.

"It's not impossible. Right now, Cloud Village is plagued by internal conflicts, a clear divide between the black and white factions. The black side is definitely unwilling, but the white side might not be. The previous Raikage was black, and most of the higher-ups are black-hearted. But now the white side wants more power and is clamoring for more benefits. I think it's worth a try. Right now, the black and white factions are severely divided, but neither side can really control the other. If we join in, wouldn't the side supporting the white side..."

Some things don't need to be said too explicitly. The Jinchuriki, Rōshi, who hadn't spoken, started to analyze the situation. Although he didn't get along with Ōnoki, he had to prioritize the bigger picture, so he began to analyze.

"Old Purple, when did you become so smart..." Ohnoki said sarcastically.

He really didn't like Lao Zi. What was the point of his pretentious high-mindedness?

(No good) You insist on saying I'm bad in this way or that way, but what can you do about it?

Now they're starting all sorts of conspiracies against me, aren't they?

"Third Generation, what do you mean?"

Old Zi met his gaze coldly and spoke in a deep voice, reciting classical texts.

Onoki continued sarcastically, "I'm just curious. After all, you don't seem like a very intelligent person. You say I like to scheme, but aren't you doing the same thing now..."

Upon hearing this, Old Purple flew into a rage: "I did it for the sake of Iwagakure!"

Upon hearing this, Onoki laughed and retorted, "Wasn't I doing this for Iwagakure?"

Who isn't doing this for Iwagakure? Are you the only one doing this for Iwagakure? No, that's not true. I'm doing this for Iwagakure too, it's not just you, Roshi, who's doing this for Iwagakure.

"Lord Tsuchikage, Senior Roshi, I think we should give it a try first."

Upon seeing this, another jinchūriki, Han, quickly stepped forward and spoke up.

He hoped to prioritize harmony and avoid internal strife, knowing that the Hidden Cloud Village served as a cautionary tale.

Chapter 180 No Regrets, All for Iwagakure

"I know."

"Ohnoki said in a muffled voice."

There's really no other way; all we can do now is try.

"Arrange it as soon as possible. Sunagakure should contact the Fourth Kazekage. He certainly doesn't want to be controlled by Konoha and become a puppet of Konoha's allies. We should be able to work things out with him. As for Kirigakure..."

"The biggest winner of the Third Shinobi World War was Konoha. If you don't want to be swallowed up in the future, it's best to stand up and join forces to deal with Konoha, and it has to be a real alliance, not the kind of backstabbing."

This unity is not just empty talk; it means genuinely uniting to face external threats together.

Now we have a real enemy: Konoha Village!

As for Yunyin, it's much simpler.

We, the Hidden Stone Village, have a blood feud with the Hidden Cloud Village.

But the blood feud between Kumogakure and Konoha runs deeper. After all, Kumogakure suffered such a great loss because of Konoha. So, do you think Kumogakure hates us more or Konoha more?

That goes without saying.

As for those who support the white side, is it possible to do so?

Onoki dared not say it now, but the outbreak of the conflict between the good and the evil within Kumogakure truly shocked him. He never expected that there was such a huge problem within Kumogakure. But upon closer reflection, it seemed that there was a traceable origin to it.

After all, the Raikage of Kumogakure were all of the black faction, while there was a white faction during the time of the 6th and 7th Raikage, namely the rebellion of Kinkaku and Ginkaku. So if we dig deeper into the background of this matter, it may not be a simple rebellion, but a deliberate test by white-skinned ninjas within Kumogakure to see if they could take over.

Unfortunately, they failed, but that doesn't mean the white ninjas gave up. It just means they went into a period of dormancy, waiting for an opportunity. Meanwhile, the black-skinned ninjas suffered a series of defeats, with the Third and Fourth Raikage being killed. This was a major blow to the black-skinned faction, so the conflict between the black and white factions is now very serious, all for the sake of power and profit.

However, Onoki was more worried that if he sent someone to make contact, and the other side suddenly united against a common enemy, then the people he sent out would be in danger.

Based on this, he said with a serious expression, "Negotiations with Yunyin are the most dangerous. Now I'll ask who can go..."

"That's me."

Before Onoki could finish speaking, Rōshi interrupted him.

Who can do it?

Of course it's me! No one else will do. Only I am the most reasonable.

"Old Purple, are you sure? This is dangerous!" Although Onoki and Old Purple didn't get along well and were on the verge of becoming irreconcilable enemies, they were both doing it for the sake of the village.

Therefore, while Onoki was shocked, he was even more uncertain: was this really the right thing to do?

If not handled properly, it could very well be gone forever.

Let me put it this way: if you go, it might be gone.

Roshi confidently replied, "I am a Jinchūriki, so I can protect myself."

"Lord Rōzō, it's precisely because you're a Jinchūriki that you absolutely cannot go." As soon as Rōzō said this, before Ōnoki could say anything, Bōya firmly opposed the matter.

Are Jinchūriki going to Kumogakure?

That would be a very dangerous thing. We strongly oppose him going to Kumogakure to negotiate. Even if he goes himself, we cannot let a Jinchuriki go. That's why Wenya took the initiative to stand up and oppose this matter.

“Wenya, this matter should be decided by Lord Tsuchikage.” Seeing Wenya’s firm opposition, Huangtu glared at the highly respected Jonin in the village with displeasure. “I know you have good intentions, but don’t make decisions on your own in this matter.”

Furthermore, Lao Zi applied on his own initiative, so what can you say?

His relationship with the Tsuchikage is complicated.

In short, you should stay out of it.

"I did it for the village."

Wenya was immediately enraged.

Wasn't I doing this all for the sake of Iwagakure?

If something unexpected happens to a Jinchuriki, who can take responsibility? No one, no one can take responsibility, not even the Tsuchikage. The Jinchuriki is a matter of great importance, and absolutely nothing can happen to them.

"I know you're doing this for the village, but it's not up to you now." Huang Tu snorted and said, "I know what you're thinking, but it's still the same thing, it's not your place to interfere."

"Enough! Do as I say!" Onoki slammed his fist on the table and said angrily.

They're all making such a racket, do they even notice me, this nobody?

Is it your place to argue now?

Shut up, all of you!

After venting his anger, Onoki took a deep breath and then said to Rōshi, "Rōshi, go there and arrange for more people for you. If there are any unexpected situations, bring them back immediately. The interests of Iwagakure come first. You should understand what I mean."

"I know."

Old Zi said calmly.

The tailed beasts cannot be lost, and the jinchūriki cannot have any problems. Rōshi knew this very well, so he understood what Ōnoki was saying perfectly.

The Jinchūriki must not be harmed.

If things are hopeless, the most important thing is to run away immediately and save yourself.

Of course, the most important thing is the Four-Tails. Without tailed beasts, nothing is anything. Rōshi is well aware of this, but as a ninja from Iwagakure...

No regrets!

This is all for the sake of Iwagakure.

"That's it!"

Finally, Onoki made the final decision.

Whether it succeeds or not, let's try first, otherwise it's all for nothing.

……

"time to eat!"

In Konoha, at the Hakubaki residence, Samui was fulfilling her duties as a maid.

She was responsible for all the daily housework, with Eileen assisting her.

Yes, Eileen is trying to cook, mainly to please Bai Mu. During the year she spent with Bai Mu and the Fairy Tail world, she used all sorts of tricks.

What for?

Of course, it's about pleasing Bai Mu.

After all, if you want to become stronger, you can't do without Bai Mu.

The power of Bai Mu's origin can be bestowed in many ways, but the best way is through the dual communication of spirit and body.

To put it simply, the mind and body must be in sync, otherwise the effect will be greatly reduced.

Now that you're already on board, why not continue?

For Eileen, it was no big deal.

Although she was a novice, practice makes perfect.

In just one year, I've learned all sorts of tricks.

"Food is good, but why is it this so-called bread again?"

Irene's cooking skills are so-so, and this is the Naruto world, which is definitely more Japanese cuisine. But what does it mean that she comes from the Fairy Tail world, which is a Western fantasy world?

The bread, that is, Western-style pastries and other baked goods, is quite excellent.

Her bread is absolutely amazing, but even the best food can become tiresome if you eat too much of it, and Esdeath doesn't really like it.

After all, her world of Akame ga Kill! is also set in a Western fantasy background. But as the Great General of the Empire and the Empress of the New Empire, Esdeath must eat high-class food, so she hates eating these things.

Alice Lise didn't care, even though she also had a Western-style background, but she didn't eat this kind of bread often.

The second princess of the royal court, who has been accustomed to delicacies since childhood, would certainly have little exposure to this kind of bread.

So she prefers the kind of bread that Eileen makes.

Whether it tastes good or not is not important.

The main thing is novelty, and that's very important.

Chapter 181 Tsunade: I feel like I don't even exist anymore!

"If you don't want bread, you can have cake."

Irene glanced at Esdeath, who was complaining, without changing her expression, and said in a low voice, "Well, I've developed a few new products."
