Crossover Anime: Plundering the Heavens and Building a Dimensional Empire

Page 298

Upon learning of Onoki's idea, Losford could only say that cooperation was possible, but how to cooperate was another matter. It was hard to say at the moment; he needed to consider it further.

"Tsuchikage, cooperation isn't that simple."

Deepening cooperation?

This requires careful consideration.

I cannot make a decision immediately.

"What's so difficult about it? Raikage, it's not difficult at all." Onoki didn't think it was difficult; it all depended on your own mindset. As long as you were willing, you could do it.

However, judging from your tone, you're clearly not very willing.

“No, there are some dissenting voices within our organization, but as you said, we need close cooperation.” Onoki’s words made Losford realize that he couldn’t just brush it off, but he couldn’t agree immediately either; he could only delay.

Onoki, feigning retreat, sighed and said, "Fine, I won't force you, but I hope we can exchange information about cloning technology and that modification technology."

I never expected that Kumogakure would have such a brilliant scientist, so even Kumogakure itself has the resources, while we on the other hand are still second-rate...

This trick didn't work on me.

And it can be said to be very obvious.

Losford knew very well that the other party was using a feigned retreat to force him to agree, but this was obviously impossible, as it would affect the interests of Cloud Village.

"Don't worry, these technologies are definitely feasible. However, as to how to share resources... Your Excellency, this requires instructions from our chief scientist, Mr. Amado."

No problem, I can agree to that.

But how exactly to do it is up to Amado.

Furthermore, I don't understand technical matters either. I can only see how Amado handles it. You should send a representative to negotiate, but only a representative who understands the technology can be sent.

If you don't understand the technology, you can't continue the discussion.

Ohnoki: "..."

No, young people, are they that difficult to deal with?

"Raikage, can't you give orders?" Onoki was speechless upon hearing this, and he was at a loss for words.

You, the Raikage, can't even give instructions?

Seriously, don't kid me, this isn't funny!

“Excuse me, but I need to show some respect to Mr. Amado. He’s not just any scientist; he’s a great scientist.” Losford reiterated that if they were to talk, they had to talk to Amado.

After all, this technology belongs to them. If we want it, we have to talk to them. We in Yunyin respect their wishes. Things are different now than in the past.

"I can't believe you're talking about respect? You Cloud Village people talk about respect?" Onoki was speechless. You actually talked to me about respect?

You, the Hidden Clouds, talk about respect?

They act like thugs, and now they're talking about respect? Have they lost their minds?

All Ohnoki can say is that this is not the Hidden Cloud Village I know; it's just utter nonsense.

"Lord Tsuchikage, please watch your words. We in Kumogakure are not the same as before." Onoki's words undoubtedly angered Losford.

Do you still think of us as the Cloud Village of the past?

No, we're different now, completely different.

"Alright, it's different then." Faced with this question, Onoki could only say, "You guys are different. Who can blame them for having this kind of technology..."

Sigh, it's true that you have to admit it whether you want to or not.

"Alright, I'll send someone over to talk to your Mr. Amado." Onoki had no choice but to compromise; otherwise, how could he obtain this technology?

We can only go along with the other party's opinion, but the technology must be the latest and not a defective product.

"Also, Lord Raikage, I hope to obtain a perfect work," Onoki added, as if to emphasize it again.

"Tsuchikage, didn't you say this was bad before?"

Losford remembered what Onoki was like when he learned about cloning technology and the clones created from the Third and Fourth Raikage...

What kind of face is that?

They used to stand on moral high ground, righteous and indignant, denouncing our Cloud Village... How strange, why have they changed so much now? I don't quite understand, let alone comprehend this transformation.

Losford has to say, that old codger is really something else. His shamelessness is beyond what ordinary people (like Noqian) can match. No wonder he's been able to hold onto Iwagakure for decades without falling. He's really something.

Such a change of stance is beyond the reach of ordinary people; Losford can only express his admiration, his deepest admiration.

Ohnoki: "..."

Just now, now is now.

Who knew that Uchiha Hakumo and his people were so terrifying? If we don't accumulate strength and use various means to strengthen the power of our Iwagakure, who will we rely on to fight against them?

So it's just me, this old geezer?

That definitely won't work. We still need other people, more people, and more power. Clones are the best source of combat power.

At the very least, it's better than the Impure World Reincarnation created by the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, which was just a clone, so it's still acceptable.

Onoki could only convince himself of this: the situation was unfavorable, Konoha's strength was too formidable, and to fight such a powerful enemy, he had no choice but to take an unconventional approach.

Chapter 379 Obito: I want to be resurrected!

Evil cultivator?

What happened?

As long as it works, that's fine. Don't worry about anything else, or you'll only hinder yourself. As for being ridiculed, that's even more meaningless. As long as it doesn't harm your real interests, that's enough.

Instead of offering lengthy, self-deceptive explanations, Onoki clearly stated that this was the cruel reality of the ninja world: if things didn't change, they would be eliminated and unable to survive. Therefore, the only way to survive was to make changes.

"Raikage, times have changed. Things are changing too fast. The ninja world is cruel. You have to keep up with the times to have any chance of survival."

Times are changing, so we have to find ways to survive.

If you want to survive, you have to make changes; there's no other way.

"Keeping up with the times, that's a good point, it's absolutely true." Losford didn't deny this, it was indeed very reasonable.

If we can't keep up, how can we compete with others?

It's certain that we can't beat them at all.

This is troublesome.

Onoki emphasized again: "So, we need to cooperate more closely, and we need to open up cloning technology, don't you think?"

Losford replied, "I'll say it again, it depends on what Amado wants, and also what kind of people your Iwagakure has to offer right now... Oh, right, dead people."

The question is, what strong individuals do you have on your side?

The fallen powerhouses—that's important. 473

The key is Amado's attitude.

That depends on his opinion.

"You can't even control him?"

Onoki didn't believe it. He had a feeling that Losford was raising the price, which made him very uneasy. He said, "Don't push your luck. We've already given you enough face."

"Of course I can't control him. We're partners. He's a great scientist, not someone you can mess with." Losford spoke the truth, emphasizing that he and Losford were equal partners, and that Losford was not his subordinate. This was something that needed to be made clear.

"None of that matters. Cloning technology should be shared. Our Iwagakure village also needs clones." Onoki had always been thinking about clones, but he hadn't expected them to be so useful.

Since it's useful, it can't be useless.

It's especially inappropriate for you Cloud Village to have it while we Stone Village don't.

Whether you need it or not depends on how you negotiate. Anyway, I'm just here to connect you. The rest is up to you to decide.

Losford won't make any specific promises. How you proceed depends on your own negotiations. I can't offer you any guarantees.

Ohnoki: "..."

As for this?

That's being too cautious; it's not appropriate.

Onoki was very unhappy about this. "Do we have to be this cautious? I don't understand your caution at all, but there's obviously no other way now."

"Shall we negotiate ourselves?"

"Okay, okay, no problem."

Onoki had no choice but to talk. As long as they could talk, that was fine. What he was afraid of was not being able to talk at all. If they couldn't even talk, that would be the real problem.

……

The Land of Water, a seaside location.

Bai Mu controlled the Six-Tails and extracted it directly, ignoring the Jinchuriki and controlling the Six-Tails to prepare to teleport back.

Yes, the matter has come to an end, so the only option is to withdraw.

"Right, who are those guys?" Of course, Esdeath was very curious about those combat dolls and the two clones, Number Three and Number Four, so she wanted to know what was going on.

Ask Bai Mu, he'll definitely know the answer.

"The clones were probably created by the Cloud Hidden Army, and the developer was likely Amado," Bai Mu speculated, concluding that this was probably the case.

"do not know."

Esdeath didn't understand.

I can't understand it.

"Don't worry about it, it's none of your business." Eileen was very direct, telling Esdeath not to worry about it, it wasn't her place to worry about it.

Esdeath was annoyed by Irene's words. Why was it none of her business to worry about this? But then she thought that she couldn't possibly worry about it, so she could only shut her mouth.

I have some ideas, but there's clearly no other way.

Eileen is just too fierce, how can you possibly fight her?

If you can't win, then you can't win; don't dwell on it.

"Yes, I don't worry about it."

"However, on the other hand, shouldn't we give them some kind of response? They've come to us so directly; we can't just ignore it, right?"
