If that's the case, can investing so many resources yield a higher return?
What should I do if I lose everything?
My Sand Village doesn't have that many resources...
Seriously, I can't afford to play this game!
"Rasa, don't hesitate. If you hesitate, you might miss out." Onoki urged, not wanting Rasa to be so indecisive.
Look at the way you do things, you're utterly useless, you're really a disgrace.
You have absolutely no guts. My cooperation with you is truly a last resort.
If given a choice, I wouldn't want this idiot.
"Onoki, I'm not hesitating, I'm being cautious."
However, Luo Sha didn't see it as hesitation; he was just being cautious. Why was he hesitant? Shouldn't he be more cautious?
"Alright, then what exactly do you mean?" Onoki was very anxious and was waiting for Rasa's attitude.
“Okay, we can do it, but the problem is where to gather a group of talented people? We need a place for research, right?” Luo Sha agreed, but problems still remained.
"Within the Land of Earth, choose an extremely secluded place. The Land of Earth has many mountains, making it easy to hide. The geographical environment is much better than your Land of Wind. We can't just conduct experiments in the yellow sand, can we?"
Nogi, the 1.0 leader, naturally made arrangements, stating that the experiment could be conducted within the Land of Earth, making it the safest and most discreet option.
"Hmph, Onoki, you really dare to dream." Of course, Rasa had a lot to say about this, and he knew things weren't that simple as he muttered under his breath.
"What? Is there a problem?"
In response, Onoki asked a question in return.
He knew that Luo Sha would definitely not agree, which was expected, so he remained calm and showed no sign of panic.
“Of course, there are many problems. You really dare to say that.” Rasa emphasized this point, telling Onoki that things couldn’t be done this way because there were definitely problems and it involved multiple aspects, so it needed to be handled with caution.
"I'm not saying this out of arrogance, I'm just stating the facts." However, the problem was that Onoki didn't seem to see anything wrong with it, and said calmly.
Chapter 243 What I mean by saving the ninja world has nothing to do with me.
What's the problem?
Don't tell me there's a problem with this.
First, there's the geographical environment. Isn't our country, a land of earth, better?
And what we need is seclusion. Our area is mountainous, mostly rocky terrain. Isn't that good? Sufficient security and seclusion, buried deep within or underground.
How was it discovered?
It would be so much better to hide!
Furthermore, generally speaking, who would want to come to our place, right?
Although no one wants to go to your Land of Wind, compared to our mountainous and rocky geography, the endless yellow sand makes our Land of Earth definitely better.
At least it allows for experiments and ensures secrecy and security, right?
Don't deny it, it's common knowledge.
Unless you're prejudiced, you can't say that.
"No, this is still not good."
Of course, Luo Sha was definitely unwilling.
In your territory, wouldn't you be able to do whatever you want? For Luo Sha, this was a situation he didn't want to happen.
You guys make all the decisions; I'm at a huge disadvantage. Sunagakure cannot suffer such a loss. 05
"You still don't quite understand things!" Onoki couldn't help but retort.
how to say?
Narrow-mindedness is still a narrow-minded view of the big picture.
You haven't grasped the reality at all.
Given the situation in your Sunagakure village, there's no way you could have a place to conduct secret research, it's that simple.
"Why can't you see it clearly?" Rasa snorted coldly, quite displeased with this. "Look at what you're saying, that my Sunagakure is nothing?"
You mean you guys are the best, and we're the worst, right?
They're evenly matched, so neither of them should criticize the other.
"How are you any better than us?"
Luo Sha was indignant and had a lot of complaints.
Onoki calmly replied, "What we need now is safety, and the ability to get things done. So, do you want to cooperate or not?"
"So what if you talked to me, or you talked to them?" Luo Sha said, frowning. No matter what, interests are the most important thing, and then there's the issue of results.
"Also, if there's any progress, how will we handle the distribution? We can't let you all take it all, can we? That's against the rules."
If the research makes progress or is successful, how should the profits be distributed?
"Now you're focusing on these things, but the research hasn't yielded any results yet. The key is to get the Hidden Cloud Village involved. Their results are better, after all, they were ahead of us in weapons research in this area, so they definitely have the theoretical and practical foundation. Therefore, getting them involved will make it easier to carry out better research."
Onoki said that it would be best for the three of them to cooperate. They couldn't rely on Kirigakure, as it was too troublesome across the sea. At present, Iwagakure was definitely the safest. It all depended on what the others thought.
Of course, Onoki didn't reveal Eileen's terrifying investigative abilities; with those abilities, she was really difficult to deal with.
But there's nothing we can do now; we can only pretend it doesn't exist and focus on getting our own business done.
If the research is done well, everything will be much easier.
They are all deep underground in the mountains.
Will it be detected?
probably not.
“If the Hidden Cloud Village gets involved, the distribution of benefits will become even more complicated.” However, Rasa still valued these issues; the matter of interests was very important.
"Luo Sha, don't focus on those so-called benefits right now. You need to understand that it's all for nothing if there are no results. Getting you involved now is to let you get a share of the pie. This is the power to arm the village, understand?"
Onoki really had nothing to say. Could someone as stupid as this really be a partner?
"There are no results yet, so I don't completely believe it."
Luo Sha reiterated that too much time and money is needed, and all the resources have been invested. If there are no results or returns, how am I supposed to explain this?
Our village is riddled with problems and difficulties. More importantly, Konoha is eyeing us covetously, and there are ninjas within our village who are loyal to Konoha...
To be honest, I'm under much more pressure than you are.
Oh Onoki, don't think you can compare to me. You should know that you are the one who makes all the decisions in Iwagakure, but I can't do that in Sunagakure.
Of course, if it were Ōnoki, he would say that Rasa is just an incompetent good-for-nothing.
What? Do you think I can have the final say, or is it my fault?
Even if we lose this battle, I can still have the final say.
Why? Because I am strong and capable.
Two tailed beasts were lost.
However, I can still control the situation. This is the best demonstration of my ability and prestige, which is incomparable to a third-rate Kage like you.
"Don't fixate on that. Short-sightedness won't save the ninja world." Onoki immediately started talking about value, telling everyone to listen to what he had to say.
Luo Sha: "..."
Do you think I can still care about these things?
Sorry, I'm not interested in these things.
Whether or not the ninja world is saved or not has nothing to do with me.
"Earth Shadow, don't try to fool me. I don't care. All I need is for the research results to truly arm the village with military strength."
Rasa reiterated that only things that can truly benefit our Sunagakure village are truly valuable; otherwise, they're just pure trash.
"Don't worry, that's definitely not a problem, as long as we trust each other." Onoki emphasized again that trust is very important.
He added, "Furthermore, we need to exploit the smaller neighboring countries even more, otherwise we won't have any money."
"The Land of Grass?"
Luo Sha said subconsciously.
"No, the Land of Grass has already been suppressed by Konoha. Uchiha Hakubaki has taken over the village and purged everyone from top to bottom. What can you expect?"
Onoki shook his head, showing great disdain.
The Land of Grass, the Hidden Village of Grass?
The 643 is obsolete, don't even think about it.
"Konoha used the Uzumaki clan members who had fled to other places as an excuse to directly attack Kusagakure, plunder their wealth, and even station troops there. I think this is something we should learn from."
Onoki is truly a quick learner and already knows how to put things into practice.
Luo Sha's expression changed slightly, becoming rather unpleasant.
It's fair to say he had a lot of opinions about this.
"Are you sure you want to do this?"
Rasa's words cannot change Onoki's ambition.
He said coldly, "What else can we do? Konoha has already set an example. Those small countries either accept cooperation or disappear. We only approached them for some funds. But what about Konoha? Heh, that's hard to say."
Upon hearing this, Luo Sha fell silent.
Yes, if you don't eat, you'll die.
I have no choice but to eat it.
The key question is how to eat it?
The small countries surrounding the Land of Wind are not all edible, and if they make any moves, will Konoha take notice? These are all questions, so Rasa is very hesitant.
