As the second firework bloomed in the sky, Jinghang's expression grew increasingly grim. At first, he suspected it was a trick from Ōnoki, but when he saw the massive figure of a red-furred ape pounding its chest and roaring skyward on the battlefield, he was utterly stunned.
"Isn't your village's Rōshi supposed to be off wandering the world?"
"Heh, your Sunagakure intelligence was quite thorough, but unfortunately, he just happened to return yesterday. Ran into him on the way back. What a coincidence, don't you think?"
Ōnoki smirked triumphantly.
For a moment, Jinghang's mind went completely blank. No amount of planning could have accounted for Rōshi suddenly wandering back to the village.
Damn it! he thought. The war between Iwagakure and Kumogakure dragged on for so long, and he didn't show up. But the moment I make my move, here he is! What kind of timing is this? Sunagakure's cards were already played, and now Iwagakure pulls out this trump card.
Jinghang couldn't help but curse the First Kazekage, Retsudō, in his heart. Back when the tailed beasts were being distributed, why was he so stingy? All Tobirama wanted was some money! Why not just pay him? Tailed beasts are national strategic weapons—spend the money! That miserly old man was always trying to freeload.
Now, in the current situation, the only thing in Sunagakure's arsenal that could contend with a tailed beast was his Iron Sand Gundam. But if he focused on suppressing the tailed beast, who would deal with Ōnoki?
"Well, Kazekage-dono, the outcome is clear. How about we call a truce and end this?"
