Chapter 285: Chapter 285: Madara Activates the Gundam, Four Nation Commanders Chicken Out
Bullshit Akatsuki ideology.
If the Five Great Nations really acknowledged that kind of ideology, then why did they send troops to attack the Land of Rain?
But at this moment, who would dare say even half a word of disagreement?
If you don't agree with this ideology, if people can't understand each other and can't negotiate peacefully, what, are you going to let Uchiha Madara flatten your own village with Susanoo?
Onoki's brow twitched wildly. Awkwardly, he said, "Of course we agree."
After speaking, Onoki looked at A, "Third Raikage, wouldn't you say so?"
A really wanted to say something harsh, but thinking about how he had to be responsible for his subordinates, he held it in.
Though he was a bit reckless, in such an obvious death trap, even he could only chicken out.
"What Third Tsuchikage said is right. Our Land of Lightning has always been peace-loving."
This statement made everyone present look strange.
Who started the Third Great Ninja War? Wasn't it Kumogakure?
Looking at Third Raikage's thick eyebrows and big eyes, who would have thought he could lie so smoothly?
Orochimaru chuckled and said, "Lord Madara, we of Konoha have always loved peace. We've never taken the initiative to stir up trouble, I believe you understand this best."
Uchiha Madara glanced at Orochimaru. Though Konoha did seem like that, why did these words irritate him so much?
He said, "So you're saying I was the one who started trouble?"
Orochimaru chuckled, "Our vision is quite narrow, not as far-sighted as Lord Madara. Sometimes, not understanding what Lord Madara is thinking is normal. I hope Lord Madara can be forgiving."
Madara snorted unhappily, "The village Hashirama protected, how come it's full of slippery-tongued people like you? Back then, I did start the trouble, so what?"
Orochimaru didn't dare respond to that, so he quickly changed the subject. This was also something he was quite curious about.
"Lord Madara, do you have any arrangements for us next?"
Madara looked over at Nagato, Yahiko, Konan, and Hanzo, who were standing off to the side watching, still stunned by his power.
But this time, none of them moved.
Madara was a bit annoyed, "You all, come here."
Only then did they walk over. Konan laughed awkwardly, "We thought it was going to be the same as last time, Lord Madara."
Madara snorted but didn't hold it against them. He just told Konan, "You usually work more closely with Kakuzu, and he's already left the negotiation responsibility to you. In that case, you'll handle this deal."
'Make a deal?'
The four great village commanders were all stunned. They didn't expect the Akatsuki, as Madara presented it, to want to do business with them?
Onoki was quite worried it might be some sort of forced buy-sell scam. His brow jumped crazily, "May I ask what kind of business Akatsuki wishes to do with us?"
Though it was Konan's first time facing such a major event and speaking with top leaders of the villages, with the courage the gigantic Susanoo from earlier gave her, she wasn't scared at all.
After thinking for a moment, she said, "We want to sell you a type of chakra converter. As for the price, well…"
Originally she thought to price it the same as she sold it to Hanzo, 100 units for 1 billion ryo.
But thinking that Kakuzu would definitely be unsatisfied with that price, she decided to leave more pocket money for him. That way, his heart would be soothed a bit.
So she changed her tone, "Ten million ryo per unit."
Uchiha Madara's brow twitched. This little girl was being reckless, she raised the price tenfold over his.
Even he felt it might be a bit of a ripoff.
Sure enough, A couldn't hold back his temper, "Why don't you just rob us instead? What kind of junk machine are you selling at that price?"
Onoki quickly tried to calm things down, "Third Raikage, don't be hasty, don't be hasty."
Even if they were being swindled, what could they do? Just treat it like paying war reparations.
Onoki cautiously glanced at Uchiha Madara and said, "We can order a hundred units of this machine, but first, you must promise, if problems arise in the future, we must discuss things calmly and never rashly deploy Uchiha Madara."
Konan didn't expect Onoki to agree so quickly and felt a little regretful, wondering if she'd set the price too low.
But she secretly looked at Madara and honestly said, "That depends on Lord Madara's wishes. I can't interfere with his decisions."
Madara knew his own situation well. After this big battle, there was indeed some wear and tear, loss of vitality. He didn't have much time left.
To be able to do more in what time he had left was already his limit.
So he said, "Let's go with Konan's proposal."
Onoki and A both sighed in relief. As long as Madara didn't act, paying a large sum was worth it. Just think of it as buying peace.
Orochimaru also expressed his stance, "Fine. We of Konoha will also order a hundred units."
The Land of Fire was the wealthiest of all nations. Ten billion ryo might be a lot, but for the Land of Fire, it wasn't much.
Besides, it's not like he was paying. Once Teacher Hiruzen heard about Madara's actions, he'd definitely ask the daimyo for funds.
A felt the sting. Ten billion ryo… how many cows would they have to sell to earn that back?
The key point was, he still didn't even know what the heck this machine was.
Looks like from now on, he better not smash the desk in the Raikage office anymore, they were way too short on funds.
He gritted his teeth and said, "We'll order a hundred units too."
Seeing three nations had confirmed, Konan tilted her head to look at Rasa.
Rasa's face turned pale, 'Ten billion ryo? Why not just kill me instead?'
'Moreover, this chakra converter… why does it sound so much like what Minato told me about?'
'Could it be that Minato and his wife are already colluding with Akatsuki and Uchiha Madara?'
Rasa drew in a sharp breath, 'The Yellow Flash of Konoha… really wasn't a simple character. I must never offend him in the future.'
Helplessly, he said, "Miss, our Land of Wind has always been poor. The daimyo would never approve of spending money for this kind of reason. We really can't afford it."
Madara glanced at Rasa and remembered his promise to Obito, then said, "For the Land of Wind, I'll visit in person to discuss. No need to worry about it today."
Konan blinked in confusion, "Oh…"
But this kind of behavior caused Onoki, A, and Orochimaru to all look over at Rasa.
Their eyes were full of suspicion, 'The Land of Wind usually keeps a low profile, but now it looks like… there might be some connections with the Akatsuki?'
Rasa wasn't some easy target after all. No wonder he could become the Fourth Kazekage and shine on the battlefield.
Madara said impatiently, "Deliver the goods to them. Let's go back."
Then he coldly glanced at the commanders of the Four Great Nations, "Remember this, all of you are still alive today only because of my mercy. Next time anyone violates the Land of Rain… no matter how far, they will be executed."
The Four Great Nation commanders clearly felt Madara's resolve and killing intent, they knew he wasn't joking.
They nodded in agreement.
From now on, the territory of the Land of Rain would likely become a forbidden zone for the entire ninja world.
