"Deidara is indeed exceptionally talented, but he's too mischievous, which is a complete waste of his talent!"
Ohnoki loosened his grip, agreeing with Kawasaki's statement.
It feels like a parent facing their wayward child, filled with helplessness and expectations.
After all, education is not something anyone can do, let alone a stubborn old man in his seventies.
"Lord Tsuchikage, I have a way to make Deidara obedient, not only to learn Dust Release from you, but also to make him your assistant."
..
High in the sky.
Upon hearing Kawasaki's words, Onoki's first reaction was not surprise, but rather a furrowed brow.
"Our Land of Earth and the Land of Fire don't have a very good relationship."
"Or perhaps, what are the Uchiha clan's plans?"
Kawasaki shrugged and said, "You know about the Uchiha and Konoha affair; they've long been sworn enemies."
"Our novel group, Yaku (3), Uchiha, is planning to establish its own sect and hopes to form an alliance with Iwagakure."
"You Uchiha want to start your own faction?"
Onoki never expected that there would be an Uchiha who didn't want to become Hokage.
"You're not planning to become Hokage?"
Onoki was genuinely surprised; the Land of Fire was rich in resources, and the Hokage wielded immense power.
Kawasaki shook his head: "Not interested."
Onoki scrutinized him closely, while Kawasaki's answer was resolute, seemingly indicating that he truly had no such intention.
"Just an alliance? That works too."
Onoki readily agreed.
After all, a verbal alliance is not as solid as a bond of shared interests, a fact that Kawasaki is well aware of.
Then he continued, "If the Uchiha were to fight against Konoha, the happiest people would be you Iwagakure, right?"
Onoki snorted, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
But this Uchiha is truly an anomaly.
He not only didn't want to become Hokage, but he also had no intention of fighting Konoha.
The solution to the conflict with Konoha was to set up their own sect and leave.
"If the Uchiha clan were to leave Konoha, wouldn't that be a good thing for you?"
Kawasaki spoke frankly.
The Uchiha clan is now powerful, well-funded, and full of talented individuals, and is in a period of rapid development.
If the Uchiha clan truly joins Konoha, Konoha may once again recreate the glory of the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju's era.
"Are you Uchiha really leaving?"
Onoki's curiosity was piqued.
Kawasaki nodded, took out a map from his pocket, circled a point, and tossed it to Onoki.
After receiving it, Kawasaki said:
"This time, we are cooperating with Kirigakure, and Kirigakure will cede these islands to us."
At this moment, Onoki seemed to be re-evaluating Kawasaki:
"Have you chosen the location?"
Kawasaki nodded: "What I just said about forming an alliance with Iwagakure is not just empty talk."
"But rather, they are the kind of allies who are willing to help us (King Zhao of Nuo) lay the foundation."
Onoki's gaze sharpened slightly: "What do you mean?"
Kawasaki pointed to the map: "These islands are not small, but they are scattered."
"The Tsuchikage is well aware of the Uchiha clan's financial resources. I plan to hire skilled Iwagakure members to help with land reclamation."
Ohnoki was moved; land reclamation is a massive project!
While rock-hidden earth-遁 (a type of martial arts technique) cannot create things out of thin air, it can modify terrain or construct using existing materials at an extremely fast speed.
With enough materials, twenty Chunin could build an impregnable castle in a single day.
Yan Yin often takes on this kind of work, but this is the first time he has undertaken such a distant and massive project.
Land reclamation cannot be accomplished by a small group of people; it requires at least several hundred elite personnel.
No wonder Kawasaki used this as a bargaining chip; Ohnoki suddenly understood.
Examining the map, if the Uchiha's plan succeeds, such a vast area indeed has no intention of taking the Hokage position.
Strategic foresight! Ambitious plans!
Onoki couldn't help but sigh!

"Chief Kawasaki, I agree to this."
Onoki made the final decision.
Onoki was more than happy to accept such an exchange of benefits.
The split between Konoha and the Uchiha clan greatly reduced Konoha's strength.
After leaving their nest, the Uchiha clan approached the Land of Water.
The one with a headache is Wuyin.
As for Deidara, it became an unexpected bonus.
Seeing that Onoki had agreed, Kawasaki smiled.
"Besides that, Lord Tsuchikage, I have another small request."
Onoki nodded: "Tell me about it."
Kawasaki made a slight movement in the air:
"I have longed to fly for a long time, and I want to learn the art of super light heavy rock."
Onoki chuckled to himself; so that was Kawasaki's plan.
"My super light-heavy rock technique is not easy to learn; many people in the village cannot learn it."
Kawasaki said calmly, "Lord Tsuchikage, you only need to give me the ninjutsu scroll. Whether I can learn it or not is none of your concern."
Onoki did not refuse, saying, "Let's deal with Deidara first."
Kawasaki has figured out Ohnoki's temperament.
The meaning is clear: if you handle Deidara's matter well, you'll naturally get the Super Light-Heavy Rock Technique.
Kawasaki wasn't worried that Onoki would break his promise.
Chapter 150 Susanoo! Kawasaki's Scheme! The Ultimate Art!
Kawasaki took out a pre-prepared scroll from his storage scroll and threw it over.
Onoki caught it and pulled it open.
His expression became somewhat subtle:
"You've been prepared?"
Kawasaki smiled subtly:
"To show our sincerity, we have made preparations in advance, and are only waiting for Lord Tsuchikage's consent."
Kawasaki, you're a man of deep thoughts!
Just now, Onoki was amazed by the Uchiha's magnanimity.
Now I have complete admiration for Kawasaki's ingenuity.
Clearly, even her own reaction was within his calculations.
Ōnoki suppressed the turmoil in his heart and carefully began to peruse the contents of the scroll.
Although Onoki was old, his wisdom had not diminished.
Having mastered Dust Release, how could his brain not work properly?
Although the scroll contained a lot of text, Onoki finished reading it in just a few minutes.
Kawasaki, meanwhile, soared freely in the air, thoroughly enjoying himself.
For those who used to only be able to work hard and practically.
The desire to fly is beyond the comprehension of people in this world.
"Kawasaki, is this how you make Deidara obey?"
Onoki's doubts were not due to the complexity of Kawasaki's writing.
On the contrary, it's too simple.
Can Deidara be made to obey simply by adjusting the wording and communication style?
To the stubborn Onoki, it was almost unbelievable.
Kawasaki's indifferent hand gesture:
"Lord Tsuchikage, even if this fails, what loss will you suffer?"
Onoki thought about it and realized that there really wasn't much loss.
When Onoki had an idea, Kawasaki chimed in:
"Since there's no harm in losing anything, there's no harm in giving it a try."
"It's just that if my people could help, the results would be even better. After all, I just taught him a lesson not long ago."
