Chapter 263 Negotiation
Under the baptism of Dust Release, both vines and rocks were broken down into atoms.

After completing all this, Ohnoki held his old waist while performing perception ninjutsu. After confirming that there was no chakra reaction around him, Ohnoki let out a long sigh of relief.

Originally, he didn't want to use the super-large dust escape technique.

This will not only consume a large amount of chakra, but will also hurt Bai Ye due to the uncontrollable power, thus worsening the relationship between the Iwagakure Village and the Raingakure Village.

But the moment he saw the Wood Release Ninjutsu, he felt an inexplicable fear in his heart, which made him involuntarily increase his strength.

Decades ago, when he was only thirteen years old, he followed his master, the second Tsuchikage Mu, to the Konohagakure Village, where he met the nightmare of his life, Uchiha Madara.

The Uchiha crushed him and his teacher with his undisputed strength, teaching him a very memorable lesson.

The ninja who left him with a lifelong trauma eventually became the defeated opponent of the first Hokage and was defeated by the Wood Release technique.

Therefore, even if it costs a huge price, he wants to get rid of Bai Ye's Wood Release Ninjutsu here. He is too afraid that another Wood Release Ninja will appear in the Ninja World, even if the other party is not as powerful as the first Hokage.

"Finally I solved this problem. I'm going to have a good rest when I get back this time."

As if hearing Ohnoki's mumbling, Bai Ye suddenly appeared in front of Ohnoki, causing Ohnoki to subconsciously take a few steps back and said in horror:
"Bai Ye, are you a human or a ghost?"

"Of course I am a human..."

Bai Ye came closer, and then showed a look of lingering fear:

"But Tsuchikage-sama's Dust Release is indeed powerful. If my real body had not been in the forest just now, I might have really died."

"Did you predict that I would use Dust Release?"

Ohnoki frowned, he knew that the biggest weakness of Dust Release was its poor hit rate.

Bai Ye nodded and said without hesitation: "I have heard of Tsuchikage-sama's Dust Release a long time ago. Of course I will prepare in advance. Only a fool would resist Dust Release head-on."

Ohnoki fell silent. Bai Ye was right. No normal person would resist Dust Release.

However, Bai Ye is so close to him at this moment, and he still has a lot of chakra in his body that has not been used. If he takes this opportunity to attack, will he have a chance of winning?

After thinking for a moment, Oonoki gave up the idea.

He couldn't confirm whether the Bai Ye in front of him was the real body or the wooden clone. Once all the chakra was consumed, he would most likely be defeated by Bai Ye today and become the shame of the Five Kage.

As if he had guessed what Ohnoki was thinking, Byakuya said with a serious face: "Lord Tsuchikage had better not take action, otherwise I will be really angry."

"I was just traveling nearby, but I was attacked repeatedly by Tsuchikage-sama."

Ohnoki's expression also returned to being serious. He began to look at Bai Ye from an equal perspective and said seriously, "Stop talking nonsense and tell me your true intention. What kind of deal did you reach with me?"

Bai Ye spread his hands and said:
"I was really just passing by and saving my subordinates. If we hadn't accidentally met your disciple Deidara and been bombarded for no apparent reason, we would have left the Iwagakure Village long ago."

"So, it's all Deidara's fault?"

Ohnoki cursed Deidara in his heart. Deidara's bad habit of pursuing the art of explosion even affected him, and he almost fell into Byakuya's hands.

However, why did Bai Ye's men appear in the Iwagakure Village?
Thinking of this, Ohnoki frowned and sneered: "Why did your subordinates encounter an attack outside the Iwagakure Village? Could it be that he is a spy lurking in the Iwagakure Village and was attacked by the Iwagakure defense force?" Bai Ye shook his head: "It was a Konoha ninja. The Konoha ninja attacked my men."

Oonoki obviously didn't believe it and retorted: "Aren't you and Konoha in the Hidden Rain Village very good? Why would they attack the Rain Ninja?"

"Lord Tsuchikage should know that there are only interests between countries, not friends."

After a pause, Bai Ye continued, "Besides, the wars in the Hidden Rain Village for so many years before were inseparable from Konoha. I personally don't have much good feelings towards Konoha."

"Is it?"

Oonoki was skeptical and began to imagine Bai Ye's life experience in his mind.

According to the investigation data of the Iwagakure Village, Byakuya, Yahiko and other high-ranking members of the Raingakure Village were once orphans wandering in the Land of Rain. Later, Yahiko and others were trained by Jiraiya, one of the three great ninjas of Konoha.

As for who trained Bai Ye, the Intelligence Department of Iwagakure Village has never reached a conclusion.

Some people suspect that Bai Ye is a descendant of a certain extinct ninja clan, otherwise it would be impossible for him to possess such strength at such a young age.

After all, a ninja's strength, in addition to his own talent and hard work, it is more important to have an excellent bloodline and inheritance.

A ninja whose father is a Kage would at least have the strength of an elite jonin.

After seeing the Wood Release Ninjutsu, Oonoki began to suspect whether Byakuya had the blood of the Senju clan, and as to why Byakuya appeared in the Hidden Rain Village instead of Konoha.

No one knows what happened to him. He might have been kidnapped when he was young, or he might have suffered persecution from Konoha.

That's why Bai Ye has been hiding his identity, has been unwilling to return to Konoha, and even has considerable hostility towards Konoha.

Can I use this hostility to make Bai Ye work for me?

After thinking for a long time, Ohnoki asked, "Bai Ye, I can represent the Hidden Rock Village, can you represent the Hidden Rain Village? If so, we can have a deeper exchange."

"After all, if Iwagakure Village and your village can reach a cooperation, they can make up for the disadvantages of both sides and carry forward their advantages."

"I can talk to Lord Tsuchikage on behalf of the Hidden Rain Village..."

At this point, Bai Ye paused, then looked into the distance, and then said: "We can talk until the battle between Deidara and Sister Konan is over."

Ohnoki was stunned. Shouldn't the cooperation and exchange between the two sides last for a few days? Why was it so short?

Bai Ye glanced at Ohnoki, and then said, "I don't want anyone else to know about our conversation. It's better for the Hidden Rock Village and the Hidden Rain Village not to have any interactions openly. It will be difficult if they find out."

"them?"

Ohnoki was a little confused. In his opinion, Bai Ye would at most discuss with him some matters regarding the division of spheres of influence of the surrounding small countries. There was no need to be so nervous.

Bai Ye took a deep breath and looked towards the direction of the Fire Country:
"Tsuchikage-sama, I want to talk to you about Konoha and Sunagakure. Don't you think they are a little too powerful? I plan to take action against them in the future."
