Chapter 178

"Hmm?"

Onoki frowned slightly and looked at the envoy he had sent out.

"Banga, what exactly is going on?"

"Did you complete the task I entrusted to you?"

With Senju Xingye, a man from the Leaf, present, Onoki did not ask directly where the money was.

But the pressure Onoki exerted on the Hidden Stone envoy Banga still made Banga keep his head deeply lowered.

"Lift your head up, your behavior is disgraceful!"

Onoki barked, causing Banga to stand up with a start.

Then Banga bowed deeply, his head hitting the table with a loud thud.

Bang!

"I am very sorry! Lord Tsuchikage! I have failed your trust! Please punish me!"

"But I did all of this for the sake of the future of the Hidden Stone Village! I had absolutely no selfish motives!"

Onoki was a bit bewildered.

What is going on?

Why such a big reaction?

And there are guests here; you are making such a fool of yourself!

"Lift your head and explain yourself clearly!"

"Yes!"

Banga lifted his head and then quickly explained the ins and outs of the matter.

After listening, Onoki was completely stunned.

What the hell?

We have to pay two billion in compensation?!

Where would we get that much money?

And how dare you make the decision to cede land?

Who gave you the courage?

That guy named Liang?

Onoki could never have imagined that the news brought back by his trusted subordinate would be so shocking.

He had been hoping that Banga would bring back compensation from the Leaf to solve his current urgent needs.

But what is this now?

Even a super-multiplier wouldn't be this absurd!

After finally coming to his senses, Onoki saw Senju Xingye's smiling expression.

His face immediately fell.

"Clan Leader Senju, this matter did not go through my approval, so it cannot count."

"We absolutely cannot come up with two billion."

Senju Xingye's expression changed abruptly, and he said indifferently.

"In that case, forget it."

"I hope Lord Tsuchikage won't regret it later."

Banga hurriedly leaned into Onoki's ear and whispered quickly.

"Lord Tsuchikage, we cannot provoke the Senju right now; they have several Kage-level powerhouses in their hands!"

"If they attack us, we won't be able to hold out!"

"And it's impossible for other villages to help us now!"

Upon hearing this, Onoki's face turned uncertain.

At the same time, he had to lament that the Leaf really has many talents.

His Hidden Stone Village is, after all, one of the Five Great Shinobi Villages.

Yet in terms of the number of Kage-level ninjas, they are still far behind the Leaf.

Currently, the only ones in the Hidden Stone Village who can be called Kage-level powerhouses are him and the Five-Tails Jinchuriki, Han.

The others are only at the level of Elite Jonin.

But look at the Leaf?

The Sannin alone are three Kage-level powerhouses.

Then there is Namikaze Minato, who stole the show on the battlefield this time, and the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and so on.

Senju Xingye's Wood Clone alone has Kage-level strength.

Comparing them, the gap is truly absurd.

Finally, Onoki sighed helplessly and said.

"Sigh... We agree to sign the peace treaty, but two billion is really too much."

"Our losses have also been heavy, and the pensions for the fallen ninjas haven't even been fully paid yet."

"If this money could be given some more time..."

Slap!

Boss Kakuzu directly took out an abacus and started calculating with a clatter.

This action left Onoki completely bewildered.

What is he doing?
