Pirate: If you are immortal, I will first fill up the overlord color.

Chapter 532: Subjugating Ohnoki

The Rain Country is rising rapidly, and with this rapid growth momentum, it will inevitably attract the attention of the entire ninja world.

At this moment, the arrival of Ohnoki, the Third Hokage of the Land of Earth, undoubtedly opened the first channel to the great country.

At the same time, more undercurrents will surge.

The rise of the Sixth Country made some people happy and some people worried. Without going through a war, it would be difficult to gain a foothold in the world.

Oonoki, accompanied by Ida and others, was walking slowly on the street.

This time, when he entered the Rain Kingdom from the Earth Kingdom, what he saw and heard along the way shocked him deeply.

Because this was completely different from the Rain Country he had in mind.

The vast forest surrounding the Hidden Rain Village has a warm, sunny climate. Compared to the harsh wind, sand, and dust of the Land of Earth, this place is actually much more comfortable.

In particular, he was particularly impressed by the neatly planned farmlands outside the village and the busy figures working in them.

Because the biggest shackles on the five hidden villages are logistics, provisions, and food.

Ninjas are also human beings, they need to eat, drink, defecate, urinate and sleep.

With the support of the five great nations behind them, they can live safely and at ease. In this regard, the five hidden villages are all dependent on the position of the five great nations.

But the Hidden Rain Village seems to have solved this problem. It has become an independent country, and the shadow of the village holds the power of the entire country.

Even Ohnoki couldn't help but envy this point.

"Lord Tsuchikage, this place is completely different from the last time we came here!"

The ninja next to him whispered.

"Ok!"

Oonoki nodded slightly.

Whatever one saw, there was no trace of the corruption, grayness, and gloom of the former Yuyin Village. Instead, what was presented to everyone was a great country with a peaceful and prosperous life.

Just looking at the atmosphere within the village, it is no different from the five major countries.

As we were walking, a group of people quickly arrived in front of us.

"It's Lord Rain Shadow!"

Iida immediately laughed.

Oonoki looked up and saw a man wearing a rain shadow hat and tight clothes walking towards him quickly.

After a moment, the two sides stood face to face.

The man in the bamboo hat looked up with a smile on his face.

"Welcome, Lord Tsuchikage!"

Uchiha Fugaku had a smiling face.

"Lord Yuying, I am sorry for disturbing you by visiting me!"

Oonoki smiled.

"please!"

Fugaku stretched out his hand and made a gesture.

The Third Tsuchikage nodded, and walked to the side when greeted by the other party.

The meeting between the two shadows was naturally an extremely secretive matter, and it caused many passers-by on the street to stop and watch.

But soon, the two teams disappeared here.

A moment later, in the secret reception room.

The two shadows sat facing each other. The atmosphere was a little quiet and no one spoke.

After a long while, Fugaku finally smiled and was the first to laugh.

"I never thought that my little Rain Village would attract the Third Tsuchikage-sama to come."

"If I hadn't confirmed it again and again, I would have thought someone was joking with me!"

Upon hearing this, Ōnoki shook his head and said, "The Hidden Rain Village is no longer just a small ninja village, Lord Rain Shadow!"

"It's like the former head of the Uchiha clan is no longer the same as he was before!"

"The world is really changing all the time!"

At the end of his speech, he sighed and his expression became complicated.

"What is the purpose of Tsuchikage-sama's visit this time?"

Fugaku had a smile on his face, but his words were straight to the point and direct.

"Purpose?"

"In addition to visiting Lord Yuying, I would also like to ask you to meet Lord Xia Le once!"

Oonoki said in a deep voice, his expression becoming solemn and serious.

Meeting Xia Le is his biggest goal this time, because this may affect the future of the entire Land of Earth and even the entire Ninja World.

"Meet Xia Le?"

Fugaku was stunned, but quickly nodded.

"I understand!"

Come to think of it, as the third Tsuchikage, Ōnoki has more seniority than even Konoha's Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Such a figure is completely a senior in front of him.

There is not much room for communication between the two villages, and they are very likely to become enemies when they expand in the future.

"I will arrange a meeting between the Third Tsuchikage and Xia Le!"

Fugaku said directly.

He was very busy with his work, and taking time out to meet with the other party was already a very good attitude.

"In addition, I hope to live in the Hidden Rain Village for a period of time."

“In the future, we also hope that the two villages can have more exchanges.”

Ohnoki said again.

Hearing this, Fugaku was stunned, his eyes flickered, and then he smiled and said, "Lord Tsuchikage, do you want to form an alliance with the Hidden Rain Village?"

This is strange.

With the rise of the Hidden Rain Village, it was possible that the five great nations would exclude them or join forces to target them. But forming an alliance was something he had never thought of.

"We still need to investigate."

"An alliance between two countries is no small matter after all."

Oonoki shook his head.

"That's true."

Fugaku seemed to be thinking about something, and after a moment, he nodded slightly.

"In that case, Tsuchikage-sama, please stay in the village for a while."

Ohnoki smiled and said, "Thank you!"

"I am busy with work, so I will not accompany you. Please do as you please!"

"Ida can take you to Elder Xia Le's residence."

"If you are ready, Tsuchikage-sama, you can go anytime!"

Fugaku slowly stood up and spoke out.

Oonoki nodded, and his expression became serious when he heard Xia Le.

As the man who had caused him the most complete defeat in the three wars and who was still unable to recover even now, he was naturally respected and even feared.

Compared to the others, Ohnoki's mentality is completely different.

He had witnessed with his own eyes how powerful and invincible Xia Le was, and even believed that this man had reached a terrifying level that surpassed Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha.

Coupled with the rapid rise of the Hidden Rain Village, he judged in his heart that the other party was already embarking on a plan to unify the ninja world.

That is why I decided to visit you this time.

Among the five major countries, he was the first to take action and will control the most favorable situation in the future.

In the afternoon.

Ohnoki washed his face carefully and tidied his appearance. After he was ready, he took a deep breath and asked Ida, who had been waiting for him, to lead him to Xia Le's residence.

About half an hour later.

Ohnoki saw Xia Le sitting by the pond, leaning against a big tree, resting with his eyes closed.

The yard is neither big nor small, but it has everything you need, including rockery, ponds, and swimming fish.

In addition, there were two young men who were practicing quietly.

After taking a quick look, Ohnoki calmed himself down and walked towards Xia Le.

At this moment, he felt extremely uneasy, nervous, and a little excited.

It is like an ordinary human being walking step by step towards the god he is worshipping, with a feeling of fear, expectation and hope.

It was a short distance, but it seemed to Oonoki as if he had crossed thousands of mountains and rivers and walked for a long time before he slowly stood still.

Looking at the figure in front of him, who was sitting casually with his eyes closed as if sleeping, he took a deep breath and spoke softly.

"Master Xia Le!"

There was no response, Xia Le seemed to be really asleep.

Ōnoki stopped talking and just stood there silently like a sculpture.

Iida was standing aside and was about to call out, but Oonoki stopped him with his hand, then shook his head, signaling the other party not to speak.

Kimimaro and Shiro also noticed this scene and watched quietly.

For a moment, the only sounds in the courtyard were the breeze and Xia Le's soft snoring as he slept.

About half an hour later, Xia Le slowly opened his eyes.

"You came?"

The casual words were like greeting an old friend whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

Ohnoki was nervous, standing there like a child who had seen an elder: "Master Xia Le!"

"Since you're here, take a seat!"

Xia Le said.

"Ida, move a seat for the Tsuchikage-sama!"

"Don't neglect the guests!"

Iida nodded immediately and brought over a chair.

Oonoki took a deep breath and only dared to sit halfway on the chair.

"I didn't expect you to come to the Hidden Rain Village suddenly."

Xia Le glanced at the other person and said with a smile.

"I came here specially to visit you!"

Ohnoki said solemnly.

"Oh?"

Xia Le raised his eyebrows and looked at the other person.

"After the Third Shinobi World War, I thought carefully about the difference in your power."

"Finally I discovered that there seems to be no chakra left in your body!"

Onoki said in a deep voice.

But his words made everyone present open their eyes wide with incredible expressions.

"what?"

"Chakra doesn't exist? What does that mean?"

"There is no chakra in Elder Xia Le's body? How is that possible?"

Although no one spoke, this meaning could be seen from their expressions.

"The Third Tsuchikage's knowledge is quite profound. I am a little surprised."

Xia Le said in surprise.

"If my guess is correct, you should have a new kind of energy in your body."

Onoki said solemnly.

The others took a deep breath and listened carefully, not daring to miss a single word.

"There's nothing strange about this."

"It's not just the training of chakra that can bring you powerful strength."

"Is it impossible for me to create a completely new path?"

Xia Le raised his eyebrows and said playfully.

Opening up a whole new path?!

Ohnoki's pupils contracted and he stared blankly at the man in front of him.

If this is true, the other party is almost at the same level as the Six Paths Sage who once founded the Ninja Clan.

The so-called Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara are not even qualified to carry his shoes.

"You really developed a completely new path of cultivation?"

Oonoki asked in a trembling voice.

"Why? You want to learn?"

Xia Le smiled lightly.

Oonoki was stunned.

"Would you like to teach me?"

Xia Le's face was calm: "If you want to learn, I can teach you."

Those simple words made Ōnoki feel as if he was struck by lightning.

The other party's secret of strength would be passed on to him so easily?

But soon, Oonoki reacted, took a deep breath, and asked.

"I want to know what you think of the entire ninja world."

There was a pause.

"Or rather, the idea of ​​peace!"

"What exactly is your ambition?"

This question is very important and will determine his next decision and direction.

After looking at the other person in surprise, Xia Le spoke slowly.

"Peace?"

"If you seek peace with peace, peace will die!"

“Seek peace through struggle, and peace will survive!”

"It is impossible to achieve world peace through temporary agreements, contracts, and checks and balances!"

"Only the ninja world can truly achieve great unification, with all people living in the same country."

"Only when hatred fades away over time can we let go of everything, join hands, and create a world without war!"

Oonoki was stunned.

His pupils contracted and his heart was shaken.

Sure enough, the other party’s goal is not simple.

In this world, people who have experienced pain and suffering are all working hard for peace. They have various ways and ideas to realize their dreams.

Because we have experienced pain, we are more eager for peace.

"Unify the world? Let there be only one country in the whole world!"

Without national distinctions, there will be no differences between countries, no interweaving of interests, and countless tragedies will be reduced.

This seems to be a very obvious truth.

However, Ohnoki knew very well that it was almost hellishly difficult to achieve.

"I plan to conquer the surrounding small countries first."

"Let the sixth great nation that is now circulating in the ninja world become a reality."

"Then."

Xia Le spoke lightly.

"Ohnoki, are you interested in joining forces with us to unify the entire ninja world?"

Such abrupt words made Ohnoki unable to react for a moment.

First he taught him a new method of cultivation, and then he told him such a huge secret so openly.

This man is simply unfathomable.

For a long time.

Ōnoki's brain had just started working, and soon he shuddered all over.

Such straightforward words carry great danger.

The other party could easily tell him the plan and teach him the reason for becoming stronger. The essence of it was that at this moment, he was standing here and had no choice.

If he refused, he might not be able to leave the Hidden Rain Village.

Ōnoki felt a chill on his back and stood there in a daze.

"Why don't you speak?"

The voice came again, causing Oonoki to shudder.

"Do I have a choice?"

Oonoki said this with a sigh, his expression helpless.

"You are a very smart man!"

"Entering the Hidden Rain Village at this time to look for me has already shown your feelings and intentions!"

"Therefore, I am not stingy and will give you some benefits."

Xia Le smiled lightly.

Hearing this, Ohnoki's eyes flashed.

The next second, a scroll was thrown into his arms.

Ohnoki was stunned for a moment, then quickly unfolded the scroll. When he saw the contents clearly, his pupils suddenly contracted and his heart was filled with great shock.

"This is?!"

It turns out to be about the absorption and utilization of natural energy. If you practice it to the end, you will be able to master the Sage Mode.

"This is just a branch of the cultivation method I created."

Xia Le's voice came.

Ohnoki's expression was stern and he was even more horrified in his heart.

"You are a smart man."

“So, it should be clear what to do in the future.”

There was only a hint of hesitation on Ohnoki's face, but he quickly made a decision.

"Oonoki, I am willing to obey any of your orders!"

A smile appeared on Xia Le's face, and he waved his hand casually, signaling the other party to leave.
