Chapter 370: , I announce, the war is over

In the dimly lit cave, a ninja with dark skin and a burly frame lay unconscious on a stone platform.

Even if this person were burned to ashes, Onoki would recognize him, because this person was his arch-enemy—the Third Raikage, A!

And a creature with a similarly sturdy but furry build was standing by the stone platform; it was using sharp claws to pry open the Third Raikage's chest, fiddling with something inside.

The verdant light was emanating from the claws of this furry creature.

And at this moment, this furry creature was facing away from him, a pair of furry triangular ears constantly twitching.

If this scene were placed in a fantasy novel, it would certainly be a terrifying picture of a monster eating a human.

But in the ninja world, it had a completely different meaning.

With Onoki's experience, he would certainly not be foolish enough to think this cat was harming the Third Raikage, nor would he think this cat was some "monster turned spirit."

He naturally understood that this cat prying open the Third Raikage's chest was performing surgery on him.

The green light on its claws was Yang Release healing ninjutsu related to medicine.

Onoki was stunned; what had he just seen?

A cat?

And a cat that was actually rescuing the Third Raikage?

In other words, this cat was a doctor?

Onoki suddenly remembered the wounds on his own body that had been healed, and a sense of absurdity suddenly rose in his heart.

But soon, this strange feeling was forcibly suppressed by his powerful willpower.

At this moment, Onoki quickly analyzed the current situation.

Judging from the results, there was no doubt that this cat had saved him and was currently rescuing the Third Raikage.

Although this cat was his "lifesaver" at the moment, it did not mean that this cat was necessarily in the same camp as him.

Because Onoki knew that with his status, even if he fell into the hands of the other side, the Cloud Village would not watch him die.

After all, a living Tsuchikage and a dead Tsuchikage were two completely different concepts.

That is to say, based on its actions, he could not analyze whether this cat was an enemy or a friend.

But there was one thing he could be certain of, and that was—the Rock Village absolutely did not possess a ninja cat summoning beast with similar medical abilities! Otherwise, as the Tsuchikage, it would be impossible for him not to know such intelligence.

That is to say...

This cat was highly likely an enemy, not a friend!

If that was the case, then he had likely already fallen into enemy hands!

Who was Onoki? An undisputed hero of the ninja world! How could such a person have the kindness of a woman in his heart?

At this moment, a flash of ruthlessness crossed Onoki's eyes.

As long as he killed this cat and then held the Third Raikage hostage, even if he had fallen into the hands of the Cloud ninjas, he might not be unable to turn the tables in a desperate situation.

Thinking of this, Onoki moved silently toward the back of the ninja cat, while a sharp stone spike appeared in his hand.

At the same time, on the battlefield where the Rock, Mist, and Cloud ninjas were gathered.

As Mizunuki Ryosuke rose from the Frozen Throne, more than twenty thousand ninjas on the battlefield trembled simultaneously.

Having experienced Mizunuki Ryosuke's suffocating maneuvers several times, they couldn't figure out if Mizunuki Ryosuke was truly taking action this time or just teasing them again.

Mizunuki Ryosuke glanced indifferently at him, who was sitting on a chair, and Kitsuchi, who was sitting on a small stool, and without any prelude, he spoke directly.

"Alright, time is up."

"Now, let's reveal everyone's trump cards."

"This farce initiated by the Rock ninjas is destined to reach an end, isn't it?"

Mizunuki Ryosuke said unceremoniously.

Hearing Mizunuki Ryosuke refer to the war initiated by the Rock ninjas as a "farce," the Cloud ninjas' eyes revealed excitement and relief, while the Rock ninjas' eyes remained filled with humiliation.

"Good, I agree on behalf of the Cloud Village."

He was the first to express his stance.

"Fine."

Subsequently, Kitsuchi expressed his agreement in concise words.

"Very good."

Mizunuki Ryosuke smiled indifferently, then turned to face the more than twenty thousand ninjas present.

"Now, I announce."

"The war is over."

"Everyone, please wait for the final result."

There was no impassioned tone, nor any long-winded declaration; Mizunuki Ryosuke simply used a light, understated sentence to declare the end of the war.

Hearing this, all the ninjas' expressions changed drastically.

The three parties had not yet begun negotiations, yet Mizunuki Ryosuke had already announced the result; such a posture was simply arrogant to the point of breaking the sky.

The battlefield was instantly in an uproar; ignoring the reactions of these ninjas, Mizunuki Ryosuke raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

At this moment, a burly figure appeared behind him; it was Kaguya Yuta.

At this moment, Kaguya Yuta's clothes were already dyed a bright red color, and the source of this scarlet luster was the blood of the Rock ninjas.

A terrifying aura of slaughter spread from Kaguya Yuta's body toward the surroundings.

It wasn't over yet; in the thick fog to the east of the battlefield, a torrent surged into the sky, shooting rapidly toward Mizunuki Ryosuke's back.

In the blink of an eye, the torrent had already arrived behind Mizunuki Ryosuke.

But soon, a magical thing happened; the liquid torrent actually began to converge slowly, forming a human figure.

Pale hair, a feminine and handsome face; it was the Mist Village's Mist Anbu Chief, Hozuki Mangetsu.

Kage-level! And two Kage-level powerhouses!

Kaguya Yuta and Hozuki Mangetsu stood like the most loyal guards, one on the left and one on the right of Mizunuki Ryosuke, their bodies exuding a powerful and terrifying aura.

On this battlefield where high-end combat power had basically been exhausted, the weight of Kage-level powerhouses was beyond doubt!

"Yuta, Mangetsu."

"I leave it to you; whoever moves... dies!"

Mizunuki Ryosuke instructed Kaguya Yuta and Hozuki Mangetsu beside him with a smile.

"Yes!"

Hearing Mizunuki Ryosuke's order, both of them responded solemnly, then stood on the left and right, respectively fixing their gazes on the Cloud and Rock ninja clusters.

Seeing this, the ninjas who had been in an uproar fell silent one after another.

"Rumble!!!!"

Afterward, Mizunuki Ryosuke formed a "Tiger" seal with one hand, and a massive ice tower rose with a roar.

This was a giant ice tower about twenty meters high, with a platform of about twenty square meters at the top.

From the perspective of the ground, it was impossible to see anything on the tower.

Clearly, there were always some things that could not be made public.

Regarding the end of the war, the location for discussion also had to be in a more hidden place.

"You two, I'll wait for you up there."

He looked at him and Kitsuchi, and after saying this, Mizunuki Ryosuke flashed and disappeared from where he was, clearly having gone to the top of the tower.

Seeing this, Kitsuchi and he looked at each other, and after giving orders to their respective Rock and Cloud ninjas to stand by, neither hesitated, each showing their own skills to head toward the top of the tower.

At the top of the tower, in a relatively large flat space, this time Mizunuki Ryosuke did not choose to continue making things difficult for Kitsuchi; three chairs of equal size were placed in a triangle in the three directions of the space.

And in the middle of the three chairs was placed a mirror-like smooth ice round table.

As the sunlight shone upon it, it constantly reflected a dazzling luster.

At this time, Mizunuki Ryosuke had already chosen a seat, and the two of them, seeing this, also stopped hesitating; without waiting, each chose a position to occupy.

At this moment, the highest military leaders of the three major ninja villages—Mist, Cloud, and Rock—of the five great nations of the ninja world finally sat at the negotiating table.

Whether it was Mizunuki Ryosuke, him, or Kitsuchi, all three were of the young generation of the current ninja world, which seemed to confirm the future situation of the ninja world.

"I won't say much nonsense; so-called negotiations are nothing more than everyone showing their own trump cards and comparing the size of their hands."

"Things have come to this; everyone knows what cards they have in their hands."

"Now, please show your trump cards."

"You, go first."

This time, Mizunuki Ryosuke was unusually straightforward, without the slightest hesitation.

Facing Mizunuki Ryosuke's arrangement, he was slightly surprised, but he didn't dwell on it too much.

Generally speaking, in this kind of situation, the one who speaks first is at a disadvantage.

Although he didn't know why Mizunuki Ryosuke made this arrangement, he believed that Mizunuki Ryosuke should have his own plans, and he only needed to comply.

He was not a procrastinating person by nature, so he spoke directly and straightforwardly.

"Fine, then I'll go first."

"First, the first point: the Cloud Village demands the Rock Village's unconditional surrender and to await our disposal!"

"Secondly, this war initiated by the Rock Village has caused great harm to the Land of the Moon and the Cloud Village; we demand that the Rock Village must provide compensation!"

"The content of the compensation includes..."

"If not, the Cloud ninjas will inevitably fight to the end; today on the battlefield, the Cloud and Rock ninjas will inevitably fight to the death!"

He said to Kitsuchi with a murderous aura, a ferocious look appearing on his face.

His statement also conformed to the consistent characteristics of the Cloud Village.

Simple, direct, and absolutely preferring to act rather than argue.

First putting forward demands, and finally threatening with force, he stated the Cloud Village's demands and trump cards in a simple and crude way.

To put it plainly, it was actually very simple: the Cloud Village's demand was to make the Rock Village cut off a piece of flesh, and the Cloud Village's capital was that they could just fight; anyway, the Cloud Village had no worries behind them at this moment.
