At this moment, in [Iwagakure Village] Tsuchikage's office.
Onoki, who was suffering from constant pain in his back, was not sitting on the Tsuchikage throne at this time.
Instead, they are counting batches of huge remunerations.
And to his left, the original earth shadow was on the throne.
A proud figure wearing red armor was sitting there steadily.
"Ohnoki, have you finished raising money?"
Madara asked calmly.
His tone was full of dominance.
Ohnoki touched his red and swollen right face, gritted his teeth, and responded with a bitter tone:
"Madara-sama, the village's finances are really tight right now!"
"In order to rebuild, all the village's savings have been spent; we have even sought assistance from the [Earth Kingdom] many times."
"And this full 500 million remuneration is too much!"
"It will be difficult to raise all the funds in a short period of time..."
obviously.
This [Iwagakure Village] is really drained.
Issue pensions, repair villages, pay ransoms, etc...
During this period, Iwagakure was bleeding heavily!
Nearly 10 billion have been poured into it, but it can only barely maintain the fragile balance of the village.
If it's crowded again.
This dried sponge may be about to be torn apart...
Onoki succumbed to Madara's power in order to protect the village.
But if it comes at the cost of destroying the village, he would rather die than surrender!
So, the only way.
Just continue to request financial support from the [Earth Kingdom].
But this time, plus the [Earth Kingdom] has provided support many times.
It's not easy to reach the 'small goal' of 500 million in a short period of time!
What's more, this is still a secret deal.
Onoki must make it watertight and foolproof so as not to leak out and affect the Tsuchikage's reputation and prestige.
Therefore, it is destined to take time to raise slowly.
No matter what, it will probably take about a month or two to get enough...
"I don't care, twenty days..."
"If we can't get it together, there will be no need for this [Iwagakure Village] to exist."
Madara doesn’t care about Onoki’s difficulties.
For him, being able to bypass Onoki and [Iwagakure Village] is already a special mercy.
This old boy still dares to cry miserably in front of him?
Do you really think that this [Battlefield Rose] of yours won’t be able to destroy the flower with a single hand?
"this……"
Ohnoki was so angry that he stared, extremely unhappy.
But when he saw Master Ban's domineering eyes, he immediately gave up.
He could only nod silently and grit his teeth and agreed.
Now, he just wants to raise the reward quickly and send this devil away...
Let’s talk about the rest after that.
"Also. Ohnoki, I heard that you have a son and granddaughter?"
Madara asked suddenly.
Ohnoki was shocked and felt his scalp numb.
"right."
"where?"
"The dog and granddaughter were kidnapped by Konoha in the previous war. They are still on the road to redemption..."
Ohnoki trembled slightly and responded half-truthfully.
"I see, let's talk about it later."
"call--"
Ohnoki breathed a sigh of relief and secretly rejoiced.
Now he was extremely lucky that he had sent Kurotsuchi and Deidara to [Yinyin Village] earlier.
Otherwise, given their perverse personalities.
Stay in the village.
If he was hit by the current Uchiha Madara, he would be in trouble.
As for the rumored Uchiha Natsume, although his character is not yet clear.
But according to intelligence, they are no less than most of Kurotsuchi.
Since they are so close in age.
With Kurotsuchi's ability, it's not difficult to hook that kid, right?
And according to reports, they lived very well there and were very comfortable...
"Okay, you go down."
Madara waved his hand and drove Ohnoki out.
…
…
Ohnoki just left.
After a while, on Madara's right side, the dark black Zetsu gradually solidified and emerged.
"Master Madara..."
"What do you think?"
"It's just a temporary surrender. A stubborn old guy whose will is comparable to a smelly and hard stone. I have no intention of inciting him to rebel..."
"If there is a chance, he will not hesitate to attack you, Madara-sama!"
Hei Jue Youyou commented.
Master Ban nodded:
“A very fair review.”
"I didn't expect that! The kid back then has now grown into a qualified shadow."
"Do not worry."
"The more this guy values the village, the more obvious his weaknesses will be. This kind of person is also easy to control."
Banye is full of confidence.
It seems that Onoki has been completely grasped.
Black Zetsu: "Then, why does Madara-sama still ask about his heir?"
Master Ban: "The more chips and reins you have in your hands, the better."
Black Zetsu: "Madara-sama, you are so despicable..."
Master Ban: "Hmph! Are you despicable? I don't care, as long as the plan can be achieved, I can sacrifice anything..."
Hearing this, Hei Jue's eyes flashed with black light, and he felt very happy.
What he wants is Madara's character and attitude.
Do whatever it takes to achieve your goal!
Only in this way can I use him to successfully resurrect my mother!
…
"Where is that guy Obito? What are you doing recently?"
"He is reorganizing the [Akatsuki] organization and recruiting new people."
"Let him go..."
"Madara-sama, do you need my secret support?"
"No need. The so-called [Akatsuki] organization is just a tool used to collect tailed beasts."
"Although it still has some uses, it is no longer worth focusing too much on."
"A tool that has been exposed has become the most suitable target. The use of [Akatsuki] is just to continue to attract firepower."
"As long as it exists and is still active..."
"You can continue to attract the attention of [Konoha] and other forces."
"This will make it easier for us to plan secretly."
The ruthless Master Ban has already hatched a new plan.
And, if necessary.
【Xiao】Whether it’s black or black...
He can give it up without hesitation.
"I see!"
"Is this why, my lord, you came to [Iwagakure Village] specifically?"
Hei Jue was secretly shocked and quickly complimented him.
Sometimes, he was astonished at how evil Madara was; time and time again he doubted whether he could really control this proud chess piece.
"It's just part of the plan."
"Konoha, Iwagakure, and Sunagakure are seeking an alliance."
“This is also a great opportunity.”
"No one could have imagined that one of the five great hidden villages would actually fall under my control."
"And for the sake of the village and the Tsuchikage's reputation, Ohnoki will definitely take the initiative to cooperate with me to prevent exposure..."
"There is no better way to hide than this."
"When the alliance is established and the next war begins, this [Iwagakure Village] will become the sharpest knife in my hand, piercing the heart of Konoha!"
"Destroy everything between the pillars."
"Let Hashirama see with his own eyes that the love he firmly believes in, the understanding he firmly believes in, and the alliance he firmly believes in... will all be worth mentioning!"
Madara is not stupid, although he likes to fight.
But that doesn't mean he will only fight mindlessly.
Otherwise, at the end of the Warring States Period, he would not have planned a fake death drama on his own and kept it dormant to this day.
But at this moment, he saw Hashirama acquire [Eight Gate Dungeon] and his strength skyrocketed.
After he found it difficult to defeat the opponent with force in a short period of time.
Banye naturally changed his strategy without hesitation and started a new round of calculation and planning.
For real heroes.
Be it force or resourcefulness, they are just means to achieve an end.
…
"By the way, is there any news about my right eye?"
"Well... news came from [Yuyin Village] that all the Bai Jue who stayed there were destroyed..."
Hei Jue hesitated and trembled on purpose.
Master Ban frowned, feeling a little angry.
"Huh? Who did it?"
"It's not certain yet; but according to intelligence, someone saw Xiaonan and another figure returning to [Ame Hidden Village] together."
"It proves that she may have found new helpers."
"New helper?"
"court death!"
Master Ban snorted coldly.
That is his right eye, and no one is allowed to touch it!
No matter who the helper the woman asked for.
As long as it's not Hashirama and that treacherous kid, everyone else is just asking for death!
"Where is she now?"
"I have left [Yinyin Village] and my whereabouts are unknown..."
"Search quickly. Once you find her traces, tell me immediately; I will go and retrieve my right eye myself!"
"As you command!"
…
