Chapter 179: Old Man! Are You Dreaming? If You Want War, Just Say It Directly!

"Konoha ninja, what ninjutsu did you use on Lord Killer Bee?!"

C, who had been diligently treating Killer Bee, looked up with an angry expression at Sawada and shouted loudly.

Sawada glanced at the Kumogakure ninja and completely ignored him.

Kakashi watched for a while, then came to Sawada's side and asked softly, "What's going on?"

"It's because of the Yang Release Armor. If Kumogakure isn't in a hurry now, there's no need to worry about it."

Sawada touched his chin and answered in a low voice.

Kakashi understood. Once the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki woke up, it indeed wouldn't be beneficial for Konoha, which was still in tense negotiations.

Thinking of this, Kakashi said no more and instead took out a book from his ninja tool pouch and began reading.

Just then...

Kakashi silently looked at Sawada with his dead fish eyes.

Sawada looked at him sideways, tilting his head.

Sawada: ─━ _ ─━ ✧

"What?" Kakashi took a deep breath and asked.

"I have a question." Sawada touched his nose and asked with wandering eyes.

"There's a beautiful Kumogakure woman standing right in front of you, so why are you still reading that porn book?"

Kakashi stared back speechlessly.

He first turned to look at Samui, who was waiting for the Raikage's response, then turned back to the curious Sawada.

"She doesn't fit my aesthetic..." Kakashi said, pretending to be calm as he put away Icha Icha Paradise.

Sawada's mouth twitched. This statement had no credibility whatsoever.

"Samui-sama, a message from the Raikage!"

The nearby communications ninja, facing the finally connected communication, hurriedly handed it to Samui.

Samui quickly took it and began reporting.

Her gaze occasionally fell on Sawada, while Sawada remained completely indifferent.

It was just a glance. It wouldn't make him lose a piece of flesh.

On the contrary, C, who was treating Killer Bee, was now sweating profusely.

He had no choice. Sawada wouldn't pay attention to him, and he couldn't cause any commotion.

Did he really think the Konoha ninjas standing beside him were just for show?

He could only look anxiously at Samui, who was still on the call, praying that the Fourth Raikage would have some solution.

Otherwise, Lord Killer Bee would really die!

"Are you really not going to pay attention?"

Kakashi asked Sawada with his dead fish eyes.

After all, seeing Killer Bee's gloomy face gradually turning pale, Kakashi was genuinely worried that the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki would die here.

"Ah, don't worry. He won't die anytime soon, and don't underestimate a Jinchuriki's vitality."

Sawada waved his hand, saying that Killer Bee was just losing a bit too much blood right now.

The core life fluctuations within the Eight-Tails were maintained well.

Moreover, based on his understanding of his sensei, that old fox...

The more critical the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki's condition, the more advantageous his position in negotiations with Kumogakure would be.

After all, he had just finished talking with the old man on the phone.

He would try his best to delay, while the old man only needed to stick to his demands.

Seeing Sawada so confident, Kakashi said no more.

Ever since the last Jonin test, he knew that although Sawada appeared gentle, if you cut him open, the inside would definitely be pitch black.

Inside Kumogakure, Fourth Raikage A listened to Samui's account, veins bulging on his forehead.

He really wanted to rush to Moon Ring Canyon right now and give Sawada, who had knocked out his younger brother, a good beating.

"I understand."

After Fourth Raikage A hung up the communication, he took a deep breath.

Mabui gently walked behind him and said, "Raikage-sama, communication with Konoha has been established."

Fourth Raikage turned and walked toward the control panel, seeing Hiruzen holding his pipe in the image.

He couldn't help but roar angrily, "Hokage! Your people injured our Kumogakure ninja. Are you trying to provoke war?!"

On the other end of the screen, Hiruzen took a deep puff from his pipe, the sparks flickering uncertainly.

After slowly exhaling a puff of smoke, Hiruzen said calmly, "If the Raikage doesn't want to talk, then so be it."

Saying this, Hiruzen reached out to hang up the communication.

"Wait!"

The corner of Hiruzen's mouth showed a slight smile. When talking to someone who appeared rough, there was no need to shout back loudly.

Just let that person get anxious by himself.

Hiruzen raised his eyes, his gaze sharp, and said, "Raikage, politics is not child's play."

"Your Kumogakure was the first to conduct exercises. It was your Kumogakure ninja who invaded our Konoha's borders."

"Do you really think I, Hiruzen, have grown old? Or are you saying that your Kumogakure is already prepared for war?!"

Seeing Hiruzen like this, Fourth Raikage A's pupils contracted sharply.

BANG!

A dull sound came as Fourth Raikage A directly shattered the edge of the control panel.

After a long while, Fourth Raikage A finally said in a suppressed, hoarse voice, "State your conditions, but don't think Kumogakure will bow to Konoha!"

Hiruzen took the conditions that Shikaku had already prepared beside him and said slowly, "Very simple. The military expenses for this Konoha exercise will be borne by Kumogakure, compensating Konoha 8 billion ryo."

"The Land of Hot Water has also made a demand for Kumogakure to compensate 1 billion ryo."

"In addition, a treaty must be signed stipulating that Kumogakure may not cross the straits again."

Hehehe.

Hearing Hiruzen's conditions, Fourth Raikage A burst into laughter, slapped the table, and spat.

"Old man! Are you dreaming?! If you want war, just say it directly!"

8 billion ryo for military exercise expenses? Listen, is this something a human would say?

8 billion ryo was enough for Kumogakure to purchase ten million explosive tags!

And this price wasn't even calculated at wholesale rates. A medium-scale war probably wouldn't cost this much!

Hiruzen lowered his eyes, smoke from his pipe obscuring his face.

The initiative was in Konoha's hands. The Fourth Raikage's posture was nothing more than wanting to bargain.

Without another word, Hiruzen directly hung up the communication.

Since he wasn't in a hurry now, let this wind blow a little longer.

He turned to Shikaku behind him and said, "Shikaku, notify Kakashi and the others to apply appropriate pressure."

"Yes! Third-sama!"

"Damn Konoha monkey! They dare hang up on me!" Fourth Raikage A violently struck the control panel.

Several billion ryo wasn't much for Kumogakure.

But once they paid, it would completely insult the Raikage's dignity.

"Raikage-sama, Samui just communicated again, saying that C cannot treat Lord Killer Bee's injuries."

"That Konoha ninja's methods are somewhat special. If this drags on, Lord Killer Bee may be in mortal danger."

Mabui appeared behind Fourth Raikage A and said.

Hearing this, Fourth Raikage A's fists clenched tightly, Lightning Release chakra momentum continuously surging around his body.

"Reconnect to Konoha Village."

After a long while, Fourth Raikage A finally said in a hoarse voice.
