Crossover Anime: Plundering the Heavens and Building a Dimensional Empire

It's the Mangekyou Sharingan!

There can't be any mistake, so who exactly is this mysterious Uchiha?

This became a major worry for Onoki, and he needed to figure it out; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to have peace of mind.

"What's your opinion on this matter? Should we take action? And if so, could we move those combat dolls?" After pondering for a while, Onoki took the initiative to speak.

Let's put those things aside and get down to business. We need to deal with important matters.

"You want to use combat dolls?" Losford was surprised. He never expected Onoki to do this. Wouldn't that just expose him prematurely?

However, these things need to be tested in practice to verify the conjectures. If we cannot know the specific results when facing the target, we cannot obtain the most effective data.

Although there is a risk of exposure, but...

The potential profits are substantial, so it's worth a try.

"I think so."

Losford decided to take the plunge.

“I didn’t expect you to be so bold. On the contrary, I was a little hesitant. You are stronger than me.” Onoki was stunned for a moment. He really didn’t expect Losford to be so resolute.

He, however, became hesitant and indecisive.

"Third Tsuchikage, you flatter me. Your presence is the pillar of strength. I am still inferior to you." Losford smiled and praised Onoki in return.

A little flattery is fine.

Sometimes, there are certain things that you just can't avoid doing.

Ohnoki: "..."

What a treacherous fellow.

But for Onoki, what was he saying again?

Without a doubt, he had no say in anything and had to accept it.

"In that case, let's use the puppets. But the exact number..." Onoki knew there was no resistance, but the number of puppets to be deployed still needed to be decided carefully.

After a pause, Onoki said with a serious expression, "Uchiha Hakubaku only brought two people, but even if he only brought two people, we can't underestimate him, because those two are not easy to deal with!"

“Not easy to deal with, I really don’t know. So, in your opinion, how many people do you need?” Since Onoki said so, Losford was willing to let the other party decide.

"twenty?"

Ōnoki pondered for a moment and then gave a number.

Losford frowned. Twenty seemed a bit too many. There weren't many finished products available now, but if he gritted his teeth, he could still produce some.

"If we want to increase the intensity, we can still use twenty combat dolls, but we need to provide a clear return, otherwise the base might not agree."

If twenty combat dolls are deployed, then there needs to be a return on investment.

In other words, collecting White Shepherd's combat data is extremely important.

"If we don't send out ninjas and just use combat puppets, then we need to be clear on one point: can twenty combat puppets be effective?"

Losford believes that even if this were done, whether it would be effective is a big question, and we need to figure that out.

Onoki replied, "Our main objective is to collect data. As for stopping Uchiha Hakubaki? Forget it, there's no chance of success."

Tell me how to do it?

All I can say is that with so few people, it's definitely impossible to stop them. Don't expect to be able to stop them; a group of combat puppets has limited strength, so don't expect to have any ideas.

"What's the point?"

Upon hearing this, Losford frowned deeply: "We can't let Uchiha Hakubaki succeed. Kirigakure can't be weakened any further."

If that's the case, then it's meaningless.

What I want is to stop Uchiha Hakubaku from achieving his goals. If we let him achieve his goals smoothly, what value do we have?

Ohnoki: "..."

Otherwise, what do you want me to do?

It's not that I don't want to do it, it's that I can't.

“I know what you want to do, but the key is that you can’t do it. You should know that yourself. These people and things can’t stop Uchiha Hakubaku from achieving his goal…”

Your idea is good, and I support you, but I can't stop you.

If I could stop it, would I be so upset?

Don't forget how our two families suffered...

To think that we can stop Uchiha Hakubaku with just Kirigakure and these so-called combat puppets is wishful thinking. Moreover, we are currently unable to wage a full-scale war and cannot send a large army to support Kirigakure.

Furthermore, if we really do that, do you think we can withstand Konoha's attack?

It's not that I don't want to do it, it's that I can't.

this is the truth!

“Tsuchikage, you can’t say that.” Losford was well aware of Onoki’s analysis; it was indeed correct. But we shouldn’t be discussing right or wrong now; we should be discussing the gains and losses.

If Kirigakure can't hold out, what do you suggest we do?

It still needs time; it needs to continue developing.

Then someone has to step up and take the hits.

"We still need Kirigakure, but right now we need to find out Uchiha Hakubaki's true purpose, and also verify the combat puppets' true strength, regardless of whether we can stop Uchiha Hakubaki..."

"We're going to try anyway, whether we succeed or not, we'll do it."

Losford was young and willing to try.

Failure is not scary; what's scary is not daring to try.

“Alright, then twenty combat dolls. You and I will keep an eye on them the whole time, since there will be live footage to watch…” Onoki finally made the decision; the matter had to be done.

Of course, after making this decision, Onoki felt he needed to contact Kirigakure to see what the winds were blowing there.

"Also, I'll contact Kirigakure to see if I can find out what their 4.3 group is up to."

"Then I'll have to trouble Tsuchikage."

After ending the communication, Onoki initiated another communication with Terumi Mei.

The reason for seeking out Mei Terumi is that the Fourth Mizukage has retired behind the scenes and simply become a Jinchūriki in the village. Even though he is still the Fourth Mizukage, he is just a mascot.

The current leader on the table is Mei Terumi, the quasi-Fifth Mizukage. However, the decision-making level must include the high-ranking members of Kirigakure, and the core figure among them is the veteran bigwig of Kirigakure—Yuan Shi!

However, as the future Fifth Mizukage, Mei Terumi has decision-making power, so contacting her is perfectly reasonable. Even if there are disagreements, one can contact Genji through her for final discussions.

As for the Fourth Mizukage, he's an old thing relegated to the dustbin of history, utterly worthless.

Chapter 368 Is this guy being too cold?

"Lady Terumi Mei, is your Hidden Mist Village aware of the departure of Uchiha Hakubaki from Konoha?"

After the communication connection was established, Onoki went straight to the point without beating around the bush.

It's extremely urgent; we need to quickly ascertain the intentions of the Hidden Mist faction.

What are you thinking? We've already partnered.

But cooperation doesn't mean there won't be betrayal.

He, Onoki, understood it all too well.

Mei Terumi sighed and said softly, "Lord Tsuchikage, we already know about this news. Uchiha Hakubaku's move is very likely aimed at the Tailed Beasts."

To be honest, as soon as Bai Mu left the village and headed towards the Land of Water, Kirigakure received the news and already confirmed one thing.

The tailed beasts are basically no longer safe.

Because if Bai Mu makes a move, the fate of the tailed beasts becomes uncertain.

Nobody dared to bet on whether it was true or not.

It can only be assumed to be true.

After all, every time Bai Mu left the village after the Third Shinobi World War, Konoha gained tangible benefits in return.

The Land of Grass was annexed.

The Stone 27th Hidden Village North was brutally attacked, resulting in the loss of two tailed beasts.

Now he has left the village again, and he is heading towards Kirigakure in the Land of Water. It is hard to say whether Kirigakure is his destination, but no one dares to say no, so no one takes it seriously.

For these reasons, we need to figure out what to do.

"I have reached an agreement with the Raikage's side and decided to send an elite squad to assist. We must not let Uchiha Hakubaki's plan succeed under any circumstances."

Looking at Mei Terumi on the screen, Onoki first explained the decisions of Iwagakure and Kumogakure. His meaning was to tell Mei Terumi that neither of them had given up on Kirigakure, so Kirigakure couldn't give up first.

Team?

Or are they elites?

Do you really think I've never met Uchiha Hakubaku?

Honestly, would this even work? Mei Terumi was utterly disdainful of it, but of course she couldn't show it on her face; instead, she had to pretend to be very surprised...

"Lord Tsuchikage, thank you for your support. Please convey my thanks to Lord Raikage."

and then?

There's no after that.

Mei Terumi wouldn't be foolish enough to reveal everything, and she didn't believe that Onoki's so-called elite troops were anything more than that.

If they were to actually send someone over, it would only be a token gesture; they wouldn't be of any real use.

Ohnoki: "..."

Isn't this guy being a bit too cold?

Okay, that makes sense, people don't believe it.

In reality, Onoki himself knew the truth, but even he didn't believe it, so how could he expect others to believe it? This is pure nonsense!
