Chapter 707: , this final blow is called a killing blow
And this person had a face extremely familiar to Huang Tu, and a physique and build similar to Huang Tu's.
He was—the commander of the Iwagakure logistics force, Gari!
Huang Tu clenched his fists, the veins on his forehead bulging.
Many Iwagakure ninjas knew that as leading figures of this generation of young ninjas in Iwagakure, Gari and Huang Tu had an excellent private friendship.
The two were not only rivals who progressed together, but also close friends who recognized each other.
Originally, after the Iwagakure logistics force was attacked and Gari went missing, Huang Tu had already given up hope in his heart for the survival of this close friend.
But who would have thought that Gari would appear in front of Huang Tu again at this moment, and in such a way!
How could this not make Huang Tu feel agitated!
In terms of personal feelings, the two were friends as close as brothers.
And in terms of interests, Gari not only had outstanding talent in ninjutsu but also possessed sensory talent beyond ordinary people; such excellent talent would surely become an important pillar of Iwagakure in the future.
Gari was absolutely an important member of Iwagakure's future, and his importance went without saying.
And at this moment, after Gari appeared in Mizunuki Ryosuke's hands, the meaning contained within was also very clear.
Obviously, the Iwagakure ninja Gari was the first chip Mizunuki Ryosuke added.
Although Huang Tu did not know why Gari, who had encountered the Konoha attack, would appear in Mizunuki Ryosuke's hands.
But Huang Tu did not harbor much suspicion; after all, the matter of the logistics force being attacked had already been settled and was "supported by ironclad evidence."
Plus, in Huang Tu's heart, he had long since concluded that Konoha, Kumogakure, and Kirigakure had reached a consensus against Iwagakure.
Therefore, it was very likely that Kirigakure had secretly exchanged for a "low-value" prisoner of war from Konoha's hands through certain means.
Such an explanation obviously made sense, so Huang Tu did not dwell on why Gari appeared in Mizunuki Ryosuke's hands.
Gari's appearance made Huang Tu's inner struggle even more intense.
Just then, Mizunuki Ryosuke spoke again.
"The ten thousand Iwagakure ninjas on the battlefield return safely to the Land of Earth, plus him."
"Is that enough now to trade for the Particle Style and the Light-Weight and Weighted Rock Jutsu??"
Mizunuki Ryosuke pointed at Bunga, whose consciousness remained trapped by the illusion, leaving him in a stupor.
Huang Tu looked at the unconscious Gari, his body trembling violently, gritting his teeth.
His heart understood that after losing this battle and paying huge war reparations, Iwagakure would need at least ten years to recover its vitality.
And this was only at the level of ordinary ninjas.
The most critical thing was that Iwagakure's upper-level losses had reached a peak.
At the Tailed Beast level, the Four-Tails had been sealed by Mizunuki Ryosuke, and the Five-Tails had gone missing without a trace.
At the Kage level, they had lost Onoki and Roshi, and in the young generation, they had lost Gari.
At the elite ninja level, the Explosion Corps had died in droves during the battle with Kaguya Yuta, already existing in name only.
Now in Iwagakure, only Huang Tu of the young generation was struggling to support it.
Originally, Huang Tu's inner thought was very simple: get through this difficulty first and worry about the rest later.
But now, Gari, who had already "died in battle," appeared again, forcing Huang Tu to take precautions and consider Iwagakure's future.
Even without mentioning personal feelings, saving Gari would at least ensure that there would be one more pillar within Iwagakure in the future to share the pressure on Huang Tu's shoulders, and also ensure that Iwagakure's high-end combat power would not suffer a generational gap.
Even if Gari's talent failed to be realized and he did not successfully promote to a Kage-level powerhouse.
But with Gari's sensory talent, he had huge advantages in the management of the ninja village and the dissemination of information; his importance was still self-evident.
Gari was equivalent to Iwagakure's future!
"I... I..."
Huang Tu opened his mouth tremblingly, the word "agree" stuck in his throat, but no matter how hard he tried, he just couldn't say it.
Because the stakes involved were truly too great!
If he agreed, he could lead over ten thousand Iwagakure ninjas home safely and save his close friend; but he might also become a sinner for all ages to the Iwagakure ninja village, and even the entire Land of Earth!
If he didn't agree, he would face criticism from the Iwagakure village and even the entire ninja world, and once again put over ten thousand Iwagakure ninjas and himself in danger.
No matter how he chose, it was highly likely he would be doomed.
This fragile and struggling face of Huang Tu made even Bee on the side feel unbearable.
He could not imagine how he would handle the current situation if he were in Huang Tu's position.
Seeing that Huang Tu still looked somewhat hesitant, Mizunuki Ryosuke intended to play his final trump card to give Huang Tu the final "killing blow."
He ignored Huang Tu, who was engaged in a battle between heaven and man in his heart. ===== CHAPTER 709 =====
