Chapter 124: Iwagakure Admits Defeat
"Protect Lord Tsuchikage!"
At this time, the surviving Iwagakure ninjas, led by Kitsuchi...
Immediately guarded Ōnoki.
Holding shuriken, they looked at the dust with panicked but determined eyes.
As Aoyama Ryūun's figure became more solid...
These Iwagakure ninjas couldn't help but take a half-step back.
There was no helping it; the strength Aoyama Ryūun displayed earlier...
Really frightened these Iwagakure ninjas.
That kind of invincible power...
That feeling of being unable to resist, was truly despairing.
"Bang!"
Walking out, Aoyama Ryūun stood his Kanabo by his feet.
Aoyama Ryūun couldn't be bothered to care about those guarded Iwagakure ninjas.
A pair of eyes...
Looked with interest at Ōnoki, who was protected in the center by many Iwagakure ninjas.
"You won't still refuse to admit defeat, right? If so, this old master will help Iwagakure choose a new Tsuchikage!"
While speaking...
Veins popped out on Aoyama Ryūun's arms, obviously ready to attack directly.
"Ahem! Wait!"
Ōnoki hurriedly said.
Although it was nice to have backbone, and this old man did not fear life or death...
But when it really came to it, Ōnoki was a little cowardly.
What's more, having fought to this point, there was no need for Iwagakure to continue fighting.
"Our Iwagakure! Surrenders!"
That bunch of muscleheads from Kumogakure might not say these words, but Ōnoki didn't mind.
Although it was shameful...
Compared to being alive, it was nothing.
"Dad!"
Kitsuchi couldn't help but shout.
After all, for this Ninja World War, Iwagakure had prepared for a long time.
They had invested so much.
"Enough!"
Ōnoki showed his dignity as the Tsuchikage.
Waving his hand directly, he didn't say much to Kitsuchi.
"I am the Third Tsuchikage of Iwagakure!"
"..."
Since he said that, what could Kitsuchi say?
He couldn't publicly refute the Tsuchikage's order, right?
Ōnoki stopped tangling and looked in Aoyama Ryūun's direction, saying seriously:
"In this Ninja World War, Konoha won. Our Iwagakure will withdraw from this Ninja World War!"
"Heh!"
Aoyama Ryūun laughed lightly and re-shouldered his Kanabo.
Ōnoki's reaction was within Aoyama Ryūun's expectations.
After all, Ōnoki had always understood the principle that as long as the green hills last, there'll be wood to burn.
"Boring. I thought Iwagakure could persist a bit longer!"
Aoyama Ryūun said with a look of pity.
"..."
To this, Ōnoki just rolled his eyes, indicating he wouldn't speak.
Having fought to this state...
Persist?
Persist so Aoyama Ryūun can directly exterminate this old man's Iwagakure?
Seeming worried that Aoyama Ryūun would really continue to attack...
Ōnoki hurriedly said:
"You won this battle. We will return to Iwagakure immediately. As long as this Ninja World War doesn't end, we will absolutely not come out. Is that okay?"
"Sensible!"
Aoyama Ryūun smiled and swept a glance over the surviving Iwagakure ninjas.
Normally, facing an enemy... they should show unyielding or indignant looks.
But in reality...
The Iwagakure ninjas swept by Aoyama Ryūun's gaze all lowered their heads involuntarily.
They didn't even have the courage to look Aoyama Ryūun in the eye.
Let alone show hostility.
"Boring!"
Not a single one with backbone.
Shrugging, Aoyama Ryūun turned and went back directly.
"Phew!"
Only after Aoyama Ryūun completely disappeared from sight...
Did Ōnoki sit down as if relieved.
Like Ōnoki, there were many Iwagakure ninjas.
Just now when Aoyama Ryūun was here, really...
They didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
"Dad, are we just going back like this?"
Being the first village to withdraw from the Ninja World War, isn't that too shameful?
Ōnoki glanced at Kitsuchi.
He saw his son's unwillingness.
But he didn't care much, just saying faintly:
"You can continue to persist. We'll go back to the village, and you continue to fight that Aoyama Ryūun!"
"..."
Fine! Kitsuchi wasn't a fool.
How could he not hear that these words were clearly mocking him?
Kitsuchi couldn't say much.
He could only stand aside sullenly.
After resting for a while, Ōnoki stood up again.
"Konoha Village really has more and more monsters!"
With such a village, he felt the future would be even harder to deal with.
With the Strongest Creature Aoyama Ryūun present, Ōnoki didn't think this Ninja World War would threaten Konoha at all.
"Forget it!"
Ōnoki stopped tangling.
He waved his hand weakly, indicating that after everyone packed up...
They could return to Iwagakure.
...
Meanwhile, on the other side, Aoyama Ryūun used the Body Flicker Technique to return to the Konoha camp.
At this time, Hyuga Hiashi and Hyuga Hizashi...
Had already gathered all the ninjas in the camp.
Although seven or eight hundred people weren't many, each one appeared very confident.
After the previous war...
These people knew that as long as Aoyama Ryūun was there, it was impossible to lose.
This absolute strength was what reassured people the most.
"Lord Ryūun!"
At this time, seeing Aoyama Ryūun return...
The Hiashi and Hizashi brothers immediately walked over.
"Lord Ryūun, all the ninjas are gathered. We can declare war on Iwagakure at any time!"
"Iwagakure? What Iwagakure?"
Being told this, Aoyama Ryūun was somewhat confused.
However, Hiashi was equally confused by Aoyama Ryūun's reaction.
"Our opponent is Iwagakure!"
"Ah! They surrendered!"
What did you think?
Aoyama Ryūun waved his hand and said in an uncaring tone.
"Eh?"
Hearing this, Hyuga Hiashi was full of astonishment.
Not only Hyuga Hiashi, but those gathered ninjas...
After hearing Aoyama Ryūun's words, were similarly astonished.
Iwagakure surrendered? When did this happen?
Why didn't we know?
