Chapter 599

A hint of doubt appeared on Kitsuchi's face; he didn't understand why Onoki would say this.

Seeing Kitsuchi's confusion, Onoki opened his mouth and continued to explain.

"If we withdraw now, let alone whether Kumogakure will let us go."

"Just imagine, what if Konoha has already laid a net in the Land of Fields and the Land of Frost waiting for us to drill into?"

"What will happen then?"

Onoki asked Kitsuchi before him; a simple sentence made Kitsuchi break out in a cold sweat.

"At that time, Iwagakure's logistics will be cut off, and we will be blocked from front and back."

"Then we will become the meal of Konoha and Kumogakure, and by then, maybe even the Waterfall Ninjas, these jackals, will be able to get a share from the table!"

Onoki gritted his teeth and said, especially when mentioning the Waterfall Ninjas, his tone was as cold as a piece of solid ice.

"So, we must not only fight, but fight desperately!"

"We must make ourselves look not like food on the plate, but like a hard stone!"

"Whoever intends to eat us, we will break their teeth!"

A flash of depth crossed Onoki's eyes; as shrewd as he was, he had long been well-versed in the filth of politics and the weaknesses of human nature.

"You mean..."

A flash of realization crossed Kitsuchi's eyes, and he said, somewhat hesitant to speak.

"Child, you must remember."

"There are no eternal enemies, and there are no eternal friends."

"Only eternal interests!"

Onoki said gloomily, a pair of eyes emitting cold, chilling light.

"Do not think that this group of guys will be an iron plate."

"No one is willing to accept a request from others to share the spoils after paying the price to defeat Iwagakure."

"And no one is willing to take the initiative to suffer losses and hand over benefits to others."

Onoki said coldly; his gaze had no focal point, as if he were not in the camp before him, but had already pierced through the curtain of the tent and landed on Konoha in the distant Land of Fire.

A flash of hatred and coldness crossed his eyes, and he spoke again.

"So what we need to do now, first of all, is to make peace with Kumogakure."

After Onoki finished speaking, a flash of realization crossed Kitsuchi's eyes; he suddenly understood the meaning of Onoki's move of "finding life in death."
