Just from hearing Ōnoki's words, Ning Feng knew that the Third Tsuchikage had completely conceded.
On second thought, even if he were in Ōnoki's position, facing four pairs of Mangekyō Sharingan—plus the Yellow Flash—he wouldn't stand much of a chance either.
"Then I'll be so bold as to ask Iwagakure for just a little more resources,"
Ning Feng said with a chuckle, directly handing over a list he had prepared long ago to the Third Tsuchikage, Ōnoki.
In truth, Ning Feng could have simply stated his demands outright. But presenting a written list gave the impression of thorough preparation—and psychologically, it crushed the other side even harder.
Sure enough, when Ōnoki saw that Ning Feng already had a list prepared, his jaw nearly dropped open. The shock in his eyes reached an indescribable extreme.
How could he not be shocked!?
He had actually prepared an extortion list in advance!?
What did that mean? No one understood it better than Ōnoki himself.
It meant that from beginning to end, the entire situation had unfolded exactly as Uchiha Feng had calculated and anticipated—including Iwagakure's combat strength and every possible reaction they might make.
This—this level of confidence and audacity—was something even Namikaze Minato would not dare to display so openly, right!?
Subconsciously, Ōnoki took a deep look at Uchiha Feng and sighed inwardly.
Why didn't such a top-tier talent appear in Iwagakure!?
If I had someone like Uchiha Feng as my right-hand man, would Iwagakure be limited to such territory and influence!?
At the same time, Ōnoki finally understood why Namikaze Minato had personally shown up.
A monster like Uchiha Feng—Konoha simply could not afford to lose him.
With those thoughts in mind, the Third Tsuchikage nearly trembled as he finished reading the entire list.
The document not only detailed massive quantities of weapons, equipment, and materials urgently needed by Amegakure—it even included complete, systematic weapon-forging workshops and equipment manufacturing factories.
One had to understand that for a small ninja village like Amegakure, its inferiority compared to the major villages wasn't limited to manpower alone—industrial capacity was an even bigger gap.
In major villages like Konoha or Iwagakure, ninja could easily purchase mass-produced weapons and equipment. But small villages simply lacked the capability to manufacture such things.
If Iwagakure truly provided fully developed weapon-production lines and equipment factories, then within just a few years—or even a few months—Amegakure would break free of the limitations of a small village and rise directly into the ranks of the major ninja villages.
Under the management of a genius like Uchiha Feng, it might even stand on equal footing with Iwagakure itself.
Seeing Ōnoki fall into silence, the corners of Ning Feng's lips slowly curled upward.
After taking control of Amegakure, Ning Feng had clearly realized its greatest weakness compared to the major villages—
As a ninja village, it lacked even a basic, systematic weapon-manufacturing workshop or equipment factory.
Because of this, Amegakure's ninja often had to purchase weapons and supplies from other villages at exorbitant prices.
After gaining control, the very first thing Ning Feng intended to solve was precisely this issue.
After all, once a war broke out, ninja without proper weapons or equipment would be utterly unacceptable.
Among low-level ninja especially, victory often came down to equipment and armaments.
"Lord Feng… I can agree to the war reparations," Ōnoki said slowly.
"We'll treat it as ransom for Akatsuchi. But these weapon-manufacturing factories…"
He deliberately paused, hoping there might still be room for compromise.
Unfortunately for him, Uchiha Feng gave him none.
"Since the Third Tsuchikage is showing such a lack of sincerity, then let's suspend our peace talks for now."
As he spoke, Uchiha Feng deliberately put on an angry expression and turned as if to leave without hesitation.
"D-don't—don't do that!"
Ōnoki panicked instantly, forcing a smile uglier than crying.
"Lord Feng! Everything on your list—I agree to it all!"
"Within three days, everything will be delivered. You can bring people to collect it then!"
As soon as those words fell, Uchiha Itachi, Uchiha Shisui, and the others quietly let out sighs of relief, finally lowering the hearts that had been hanging in their throats.
Namikaze Minato also exhaled deeply, his entire body relaxing.
Who knew whether these Iwagakure ninja might suddenly make a move!?
If that happened, a massive battle would be unavoidable.
However, among everyone present, only Ning Feng caught the subtle scheme hidden in Ōnoki's words.
He smiled faintly.
"Lord Third Tsuchikage, what if three days from now, when we come to collect the goods, you simply send people to assassinate us?"
"Why not prepare everything right now? We'll take it with us directly."
As he spoke, Ning Feng leisurely lifted his teacup and took a slow sip.
Sure enough, upon hearing this, Ōnoki stared deeply at Ning Feng once again, his teeth grinding audibly.
"It seems there's no way to fool you, Uchiha Feng…"
"It's truly hard to imagine… that you're only five or six years old."
With that, Ōnoki turned and left the Tsuchikage Residence, clearly heading off to prepare everything Ning Feng had demanded.
No sooner had Ōnoki left than several female Iwagakure ninja entered, serving tea and refreshments to everyone present as they waited quietly.
"Feng, this time I truly admire you," Uchiha Itachi said.
"To think you'd dare to storm straight into Iwagakure and walk right into the Tsuchikage Residence!"
"Yeah," Shisui added. "Even the so-called demigod Hanzō of the Salamander back in the day probably didn't have this kind of nerve."
"But that said… weren't you really afraid Iwagakure might suddenly make a move?"
The two of them spoke one after another, clearly full of doubts.
In their minds, Iwagakure was a land of formidable experts. Especially the Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki—his methods were iron-fisted, and no one ever gained the slightest advantage against him.
Yet what they couldn't wrap their heads around was how someone so hardline had repeatedly been forced into concessions by Ning Feng.
"With my two big brothers and my teacher here, what is there to be afraid of?"
Ning Feng grinned, glancing meaningfully at the two of them.
Both Itachi and Shisui burst out laughing.
In truth, they had already thought it through themselves.
If things truly went south, the two of them would activate Susanoo without hesitation and turn Iwagakure upside down.
They'd show Iwagakure once and for all—
Whether they still dared to underestimate the Uchiha clan.
