He wasn't swayed by the grand vision Ay painted.
Rescuing the Raikage from the Uzushigakure was no simple task!
Ōnoki pondered, "The condition of having to rescue the Raikage is too harsh. If we fail, won't Iwagakure have sacrificed for nothing?"
"How about this: Iwagakure will provide the Land of Lightning with a Kage-level reinforcement in exchange for one year of development rights to the Central Mountain Range?"
Ay's eyes flickered slightly.
This could also work.
After all, it was a rescue mission, and too many people wouldn't be good.
Ay nodded, "Agreed!"
Ōnoki's eyes lit up, and he said, "Good, let's sign the agreement then!"
Roshi was always picking fights with him anyway, so he'd give him a mission to get him out and about.
He could also get some peace and quiet.
Moreover, they wouldn't have to exert too much effort.
When in doubt, run!
Regardless of whether they rescued the Raikage, the Land of Earth was determined to have the development rights to the Central Mountain Range!
Sarutobi Hiruzen and the Third Kazekage also stirred with ambition.
But after thinking about the people they had available... they decided against it.
Time flew by, and soon three days had passed.
In the Uzushigakure, Soul Society Court.
Chihiro had a black-purple butterfly resting on his hand.
He inquired, "Is this the newly developed projection hell butterfly?"
Nemu bowed her head, "Yes!"
Chihiro's eyes flashed, and he said, "Perfect. Have them fly throughout the Ninja World and broadcast the execution of the Raikage live today!"
Upon receiving Lord Soul King's command,
Nemu quickly took action.
Hell butterflies, being creatures used by Shinigami for communication, were not slow.
Soon, they were fluttering all over the Ninja World.
"Hmm? What kind of butterfly is this? I've never seen one before?"
People saw hell butterflies everywhere and couldn't help but wonder.
Land of Fire, Konoha Village.
The Five Kage Summit was temporarily postponed.
Sarutobi Hiruzen had also returned to Konoha.
Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was working at his desk in the Hokage Office, paused.
On his desk, a black-purple butterfly gently landed.
"?"
A hint of confusion flashed in Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes.
But soon, above the hell butterfly, there was a sudden crackle, and a screen abruptly appeared.
Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes widened, and he instantly stood up!
"What's going on?!"
Hearing the commotion, the Anbu instantly appeared and began to guard!
However, when they saw that the hell butterfly made no other movements, they were all stunned.
Sarutobi Hiruzen waved his hand, stopping them from advancing, and looked closely.
On the screen above the hell butterfly,
An execution platform came into view.
The figure on the execution platform was none other than the Third Raikage!
"What is happening?!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen exclaimed.
Why was the Third Raikage appearing on this butterfly?
At the same time,
In Iwagakure, Sunagakure, Kumogakure, and various other places, images of the Third Raikage appeared.
Almost everyone couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
Suddenly, a clear, cold voice came from the projection.
"Greetings to everyone in the Ninja World. This is Sōkyoku Hill in Soul Society Court, Uzushigakure."
"Over there is the Sōkyoku Hill, the execution tool for criminals. The person currently awaiting execution is the highly anticipated Third Raikage."
"That's right. Today, our Uzushigakure will use this projection hell butterfly to broadcast the entire execution of the Third Raikage live throughout the Ninja World!"
"This is what we call a public execution!"
Public execution!!
Hearing the voice from the screen, everyone's hearts trembled.
Only then did they realize that the Uzushigakure' talk of a public execution three days ago meant this kind of public execution!
Land of Earth, Iwagakure.
Ōnoki's eyes narrowed.
"Uzushigakure, what a brilliant move!"
To be able to use this butterfly to broadcast a live image from one place?
And it could also transmit sound.
With just one glance, Ōnoki saw the deeper strategic value of this butterfly!
"No wonder the Uzushigakure' technology made the Third Raikage so envious."
Now, even he was somewhat tempted.
However, with this butterfly broadcasting live, it would also allow him to truly witness the specific strength of the Uzushigakure.
Land of Lightning, Kumogakure.
Bang!
A furiously slammed his fist against the wall, staring intently at the bloody and mangled Third Raikage on the Sōkyoku Hill.
His heart was filled with uncontrollable rage!
"How are the arrangements for the people?"
The Raikage Secretary replied, "They have all reached the border of the Uzushigakure, waiting only for your command!"
"Good! Immediately prepare the Heavenly Transfer Technique for me!"
"Yes!"
The hell butterfly's broadcast was still ongoing.
People also began to arrive one after another at Sōkyoku Hill.
They were all wearing black and white shinigami uniforms, with numbers printed on their white Haori.
"These are the Captains of the various Divisions?"
