And now, the Land of Iron actually came with Sunagakure to try and snatch their money; how could Kakuzu endure this?
"Other countries probably won’t extend a helping hand. After all, for them, if Otogakure naturally collapses, they would also be happy to see it. Just that when it comes to dividing the benefits later, they will definitely interfere," Orochimaru’s eyes already carried a bloodthirsty look. Who was he? He was once one of the Sannin of Konoha! Although he had defected from Konoha now and established Otogakure himself, he wasn’t someone these small corners could provoke.
"Then fight now?" Kakuzu suddenly said.
"Although our current ninja count is small, we are a newly established village. No matter what, we cannot show any intention of fearing battle. There are many different voices in the village now, but we cannot let them down," Orochimaru’s thinking was increasingly leaning towards that of a qualified Kage. Many times, war wasn’t actually a question of whether one could fight. But a question of having to fight. What was fought for wasn’t victory, but showing one’s villagers their fearless heart and thunderous means!
"Then how to fight? The number of ninjas in our village now adds up to less than 100. And according to Sunagakure’s expedition list this time, at least over 500 ninjas are coming over," Kakuzu repeatedly looked at the Sunagakure intelligence report in his hand. Listed on it were Sunagakure’s recent movements.
He didn’t know how much benefit the Land of Iron actually gave, to actually make Sunagakure dispatch a battle of this scale. Moreover, according to the intelligence, Sunagakure’s Fourth Kazekage Rasa personally led the expedition. While Sunagakure’s advisors Chiyo and Ebizō stabilized the rear in the village and didn’t appear.
Accompanying Rasa on the expedition were two other Kage-level powerhouses from Sunagakure. In Rasa’s perception, he himself could directly fight Orochimaru. And the remaining Kakuzu, although his depth was unknown, presumably with two Kage-level powerhouses attacking, there wouldn’t be any other problems.
"There will be a way. Besides, don’t we still have another partner? Right, Boss Shinji?" Orochimaru seemed to suddenly relax. Unknown when, Shinji had already appeared in the Otokage office.
"There is a way, but it needs some time. I need to go make some preparations," Shinji whispered. Although the current situation deviated from the original event line, Shinji didn’t think it was a disaster. If, through this matter, other forces could see Otogakure’s strength, perhaps this was actually a good thing.
"What do you plan to do?" Orochimaru asked somewhat curiously.
