IW: Chapter 138 - Three Draws, Ninja Alliance Established, Ninja World Order Greatly Changed!
"Sis, this situation is very unfavorable for us, and shouldn't this guy be on the northern battlefield?"
Ebizo frowned deeply. Bai Ye's appearance on this battlefield was not good news for them.
What exactly allowed Bai Ye to travel between these two battlefields?
"He uses Flying Thunder God."
Chiyo looked at the scroll in Bai Ye's hand and thought of the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, who also rushed between several battlefields back then.
Because of Flying Thunder God, he truly became the variable in this war.
"Even if he uses Flying Thunder God, that guy wouldn't be having such an easy time on the northern battlefield. What are those guys from Kumogakure and Iwagakure doing?!"
Ebizo mumbled. He was truly exasperated with his two unreliable allies.
They weren't applying pressure over there, which allowed Bai Ye to shuttle back and forth between two battlefields. If they lost this time, they would have to take the blame.
"Now is not the time to worry about what the other side is doing. Our situation is not optimistic. That idiot Rasa..."
Chiyo was going crazy now, because the current situation of Sunagakure was already very clear.
Even if you argued to the heavens that Rasa's actions were for the Village and for other Ninja, did he not betray his own people?
It was already confirmed. How could others trust him now?
Now, those who originally supported Pakura's faction obviously wouldn't have much fighting enthusiasm. Would they rely solely on the other faction?
Their strength was already inferior, and now with half their people not fighting, it was even more impossible to defeat the opponent.
"Rasa is mine."
Pakura glanced at Bai Ye. She wanted to face Rasa alone.
Rasa's combat power was inherently inferior to Pakura's. It was just that when choosing the Kazekage, the conservative faction's strength was stronger than the emerging faction's, which was why she failed.
"Whatever."
Bai Ye shrugged. He didn't refuse Pakura's decision. He had originally come here just to see if there was a chance to earn some points.
On the last battlefield, Bai Ye only got two draws from Ōnoki and Killer Bee. As for Killer Bee and the others, Bai Ye didn't get any draw opportunities from them at all. He didn't know if it was because they weren't important characters or if it wasn't a major plot change.
Forget about the other Jinchuriki; they were all just supporting characters. But Killer Bee appeared many times later, yet he didn't give him any rewards. Did he have to wait until the Akatsuki Organization was dealt with?
Bai Ye had some guesses, so after that side concluded, he also came to the Sunagakure battlefield early. Since there were no more draw opportunities there, he naturally had to come here to reap benefits.
"Did you really resolve the situation over there?"
Taking advantage of the lull while Pakura went to fight Rasa, Mei Terumī came to Bai Ye's side and asked about the intelligence she had received from Lady Tsunade earlier.
Although she felt Bai Ye didn't need to lie, it was too exaggerated, so exaggerated that she thought it wasn't real.
"Yes, otherwise how could I be here?"
If he hadn't resolved the situation on that battlefield, and he could still come here, how careless would he be?
Now, unifying the Ninja World was just a few steps away.
Speaking of which, after he finished dealing with the Ninja Alliance, he would have to deal with the Akatsuki Organization.
No matter what, this organization's combat power was still very strong, and there was also Itachi, the rogue Ninja, there.
Itachi had always believed that his actions would only lead to the destruction of the Uchiha and Konoha, but now, not only had he not led the Uchiha and Konoha to destruction, but things were getting better and better.
He was actually looking forward to the scene when he would meet Itachi later. It was truly something to anticipate!
"Heh heh, if I hadn't agreed to you back then, would Kirigakure also be within your war-starting range now?"
From the moment she entered Kirigakure, all of Bai Ye's plans were to control Kirigakure, and she felt like a chess piece, passively controlled by Bai Ye.
"Actually, I'm very optimistic about Kirigakure, so after I resolved the Konoha matter, I came to Kirigakure immediately."
"Isn't it because Kirigakure is easy to control?"
"Wrong, because of you, I chose to cooperate with Kirigakure."
"Are you an idiot?"
Mei Terumī widened her eyes and turned to look at Bai Ye. Did this guy know what he was saying?
Or was he doing it on purpose?
"I'm serious!"
That old man from Iwagakure had many tricks, Ai wouldn't submit without a good beating, and Rasa wasn't even worth Bai Ye's attention, so naturally, he could only choose Mei Terumī.
Besides, among several rough men, it was better to choose a beautiful girl.
Of course, there was also the reason Mei Terumī mentioned: Kirigakure was easy to control. Without the premise of war, choosing Kirigakure was the best option for him. After all, Kirigakure needed a helper. Although they would still succeed without a helper, recovery would take a long time.
The Blood Mist Policy had lasted too long, and Kirigakure had already been severely weakened. To recover, they could only rely on Konoha, and such a Kirigakure was the easiest to control.
"It's happening!"
Genshi's eyelids twitched, and his heart was also filled with joy. From the situation between Bai Ye and Mei Terumī, it truly looked like sparks of love could fly!
He was just afraid that the two of them wouldn't have any chemistry at all.
Very good!
He would play matchmaker later, and he believed he could definitely make Bai Ye fall for the Mizukage's beauty!
"Isn't it a bit too much to flirt on the battlefield?"
Lady Tsunade squinted at Bai Ye. Was this guy being a bit too reckless?
So many Ninja were watching on the battlefield, and you said 'because of you.' What did that mean?
Was it that cheesy?
How disgusting.
"I didn't mean anything else. I choose people to cooperate with simply because of the person, not because of how strong a Ninja Village is. Anyway, none of them are as strong as us. And didn't I choose you too?"
Back then, in the ultimate choice between Lady Tsunade and Jiraiya about who would stay in the Village, Bai Ye chose Lady Tsunade.
First, Jiraiya's personality wasn't suitable. Second, Jiraiya staying in the Village would be very irresponsible towards the women in the Village, as he had a bad habit. Also, he wouldn't have much to do staying in the Village, which would only restrict Jiraiya. It was better to let him leave.
Lady Tsunade, on the other hand, was different. First, Lady Tsunade staying in the Village could train Medical Ninja. Second, she wouldn't cause a bad influence in the Village. So Bai Ye chose Lady Tsunade to stay.
"You really are an idiot! Don't say such things to me on the battlefield!"
Lady Tsunade gritted her teeth, clenching her fist as if she was about to punch Bai Ye.
Did this guy even know what he was saying?
"Sure enough, there's something going on!"
Shizune's face flashed with an 'I knew it' expression. Before, she was a bit skeptical of the insider's revelations, as they were all just talk, no pictures, no proof. But now that she saw it with her own eyes, she naturally couldn't ignore it.
Just now, in Shizune's eyes, this was a love triangle.
The forbidden love between the Mizukage, the Hokage, and Lady Tsunade!
Ah!
After she retired, she would definitely write this into her autobiography!
"Miss Pakura seems to be winning."
Shizune hadn't even had time to conceive the plot for her autobiography when she saw that Rasa was already at a disadvantage on the battlefield. After becoming Kazekage, Rasa had become somewhat complacent about his strength, plus Pakura's strength was inherently stronger than Rasa's.
Pakura, fueled by hatred, had shown no mercy from the very beginning.
This made Rasa very uncomfortable.
Looking at the Sunagakure Ninja behind him, Rasa felt even more uncomfortable.
It had already come to this, and they still weren't making a move?
He was the Kazekage!
Even if he had done some things in the past, as Sunagakure Ninja, could they just watch him die?
"Pakura is no longer a Sunagakure Ninja. She is now standing with Konoha. Attack together!"
Since he was already exposed, Rasa naturally wasn't afraid anymore.
Compared to how he should resolve this matter after returning, Rasa was more concerned about not being killed by Pakura at this moment.
He had a feeling that if he procrastinated any longer, he would really be killed. He had to ensure his survival.
The beneficiaries of the conservative faction naturally knew that they all had a hand in betraying Pakura, so it was impossible for them to sit idly by, while those who supported Pakura did not act.
Indeed, Pakura had already defected to Konoha under the current circumstances, but this did not mean they could stand by and watch themselves be betrayed, then still serve the other side.
If Rasa could betray Pakura today, then he could betray any of them in the future, unless they defected to Rasa.
But they originally couldn't stand Sunagakure being harmed by the conservative faction again and wanted to change, which was why they acted this way.
"Everyone, please give me some face and let the two of them fight on their own, how about it?"
Bai Ye alone bypassed the battlefield of Rasa and Pakura and then directly blocked the Sunagakure Ninja.
Saying that, Bai Ye grasped the air, and a blade made of lightning appeared in his hand, then Bai Ye slashed down with one strike, directly cutting a chasm in front of both sides: "Those who cross this line, die!"
This guy really gives an unexpected sense of security on the battlefield.
Looking at Bai Ye's back, Tsunade and the others couldn't help but have a strange thought in their hearts; as a teammate, it seemed he was indeed very reliable in some matters.
The Sunagakure Ninja exchanged glances, hesitating for a moment, but seeing that Rasa was about to be defeated, the high-ranking members of the conservative faction couldn't wait any longer; once Rasa failed, they would definitely be purged.
It's just a Hokage, can't they kill a Hokage?
A group of Sunagakure Ninja disregarded Bai Ye's words and rushed straight towards Bai Ye, intending to kill Bai Ye first, then Pakura!
"Die!"
A Susanoo formed half a body on Bai Ye, with lightning flashing on it, accompanied by traces of Sage Chakra.
The blade in Susanoo's hand slashed through, and that blade, infused with Sage lightning, instantly killed all the Ninja in front with one strike.
"How is that possible?!"
"One move?"
Is this guy a Tailed Beast?
"That's the ultimate power of the Uchiha Clan!"
Chiyo deeply looked into Bai Ye's eyes, was that Mangekyo?
It's truly terrifying?
This was her first time fighting someone from the Uchiha Clan who had awakened Mangekyo.
"Bai Ye, have Kumogakure and Iwagakure not attacked all this time?"
Chiyo stopped before the line of life and death, looking at Bai Ye and asking.
She actually knew that Sunagakure's defeat was already a foregone conclusion; Pakura would kill Rasa, and the reformist faction would rise again, while many of the conservative faction had died after Bai Ye's strike.
And Chiyo's thinking was very simple: at worst, Sunagakure would admit defeat and let Pakura return to be the Kazekage; although they would need to recover temporarily, judging from previous encounters with Konoha, Konoha should not go for a complete annihilation.
So they had a way out.
"You mean Iwagakure and Kumogakure? They've already surrendered and will join our Ninja Alliance later. How about it, Sunagakure, do you want to join?"
Only Sunagakure was left, but Bai Ye didn't force Sunagakure; for him, if Sunagakure joined, it would be a successful collection for him, but if Sunagakure didn't join, he would simply destroy them completely.
"How is that possible?"
The Sunagakure Ninja who heard this news were stunned, obviously skeptical of this information.
How could two Ninja Villages be so easily defeated by Bai Ye and surrender?
"Furthermore, Chiyo, you are one of the few intelligent people in Sunagakure, you should know what to do, right?"
Bai Ye threw a scroll to Chiyo. Chiyo deliberated for a moment, but finally chose to open it and look. She didn't believe Bai Ye would poison it; the Uchiha Clan would never stoop to such things.
Moreover, in terms of poison, she was much better than those people from Konoha.
Opening the scroll and seeing its contents, and also seeing the seals of Kumogakure and Iwagakure, as well as their special Chakra methods, she had to believe it, no matter how unwilling she was.
"Sister?"
"Yes, they really did it, Konoha won."
Chiyo handed the scroll to Ebizo. She admitted she had underestimated Bai Ye, and also knew that at this point, surrender was the only option.
The other two Ninja Villages were stronger than them, and they had even teamed up, yet they still lost to Konoha. So if Sunagakure still planned to fight Konoha to the death now, they would just be waiting to be destroyed by Konoha.
"If Sunagakure surrenders, what do you plan to do?"
"Chiyo!! I am the Kazekage!!"
Even though Rasa was close to death, hearing that they were already discussing surrender, he couldn't hold back anymore.
He, the Kazekage, hadn't even said he would surrender, so how could Chiyo make decisions for him!
"Rasa, the Fourth Kazekage is about to become history!"
A cold smile flashed across Pakura's face; she already had victory in her grasp.
The Fourth Kazekage is about to become history!
"Kill Rasa, then Sunagakure will merge into the Ninja Alliance. Afterwards, I can give one of the five seats to Sunagakure."
"Good!"
The tide had turned; even if Chiyo wanted to resist, she knew she couldn't, and could only try her best to preserve their interests.
Sunagakure going to the Land of Fire wasn't entirely bad; at least they wouldn't have to endure that harsh environment anymore.
Moreover, one of these five seats, for Sunagakure, was equivalent to their former Kage becoming a single seat. Although there would be a leader above them, they could at least fight for some benefits for themselves.
However, Pakura would likely be chosen as this leader later, Chiyo believed she couldn't become the leader.
Her age had already reached the point of retirement.
At the same time, Chiyo also felt that Bai Ye was promoting Pakura, which could be seen from his act of avenging Pakura.
So Kirigakure is Mei Terumī, Sunagakure is Pakura, Konoha is most likely that woman Tsunade, or possibly Jiraiya, Uchiha Fugaku, Uchiha Shisui. No matter who it is, he already has three people supporting him.
The idea that four people could shake the leader's decision, in Chiyo's view, was absolutely impossible to achieve.
What a clever scheme.
Chiyo closed her eyes and sighed in her heart.
Although she already understood Bai Ye's scheme, Chiyo also knew she couldn't stop him. Who could blame him when he had absolute power?
"I am the Kazekage! I am the Kazekage!!"
Rasa said weakly, his life being gradually consumed by Scorch Release, while behind him, surrender had already been decided.
He knew very well that he had failed, and failed very thoroughly.
From now on, his reputation would be very bad.
But everything he did was for Sunagakure!!
"Rasa, go to hell. As for your children, I won't kill them."
"Thank you."
In his final moments, a hint of gratitude flashed in Rasa's eyes.
Pakura turned her head away from Rasa. She would tell his three children about Rasa's deeds. Although she wouldn't kill them, making them despise their father for this was perhaps more cruel than killing him.
"Ding! Changed Rasa's fate, rewarded with one lottery chance."
Not bad!
A hint of surprise flashed in Bai Ye's eyes.
With three lottery chances, there wasn't much Bai Ye could draw now. As long as he didn't get some crappy stuff, Bai Ye felt he had a good chance of drawing what he wanted.
"The war is over, everyone. Let's not engage in meaningless wars anymore. From now on, everyone will no longer be Sunagakure Ninja. From now on, everyone will be Ninja of one Village. We will not have the oppression of the Daimyo above us. Everyone will live in the prosperous Land of Fire, enjoying the same resources!"
What did they mean by this?
The Sunagakure Ninja listened to Pakura's words, and for a moment, they were somewhat bewildered.
The war seemed to have truly ended.
And they were even going to live in Konoha. What was the point of fighting for so long before then?
They had also experienced so many wars and small-scale skirmishes. Could they really abandon all hatred and start anew?
At this moment, many of the Sunagakure Ninja felt lost regarding their fated destiny.
They didn't know what awaited them next, but what could they do if they didn't accept it now?
"Surrender, everyone. Let's all go to Konoha. The war is over. From now on, there will be no more wars."
Chiyo comforted the Sunagakure Ninja behind her. If they didn't go, they would truly die.
