Chapter 292 The Death of Onoki!
Onoki had a strong belief in protecting Iwagakure, and under this belief, he almost surpassed his own limits.
But Ōnoki ultimately failed to completely save Iwagakure. He clearly saw that at least 10% of Iwagakure was destroyed by the Super Shinra Tensei, and those villagers naturally perished as well.
"Konan, Kakuzu, Sasori, we should go!"
"The score between Iwagakure and us has been settled!"
After unleashing the Super Shinra Tensei, Pain in the sky also felt a sense of exhaustion.
Pain himself knew best that his current condition was far from good. If Iwagakure were to besiege them now, he and Akatsuki might not even have the strength to escape.
"Aren't you taking anything with you? Like, for example, Onoki's body?"
Sasori's gaze remained fixed on Onoki over there. Although Onoki was old, Sasori was quite envious of both his Dust Release and Earth Release techniques.
"Since he protected this land, let him be buried here!"
Payne shook his head. He could see that Onoki's life had been completely consumed. To put it bluntly, it was questionable whether Onoki would even live to see them leave.
"And if they really take Onoki away, it might be difficult for us to leave."
Kakuzu added that he could tell that Pain was no longer at his peak after using that terrifying technique, or rather, not only him, but the other ninjas in Iwagakure would probably also notice this.
Let's go!
Paper wings unfurled behind Konan, and as the paper behind her unfolded, explosive tags surged up beneath her feet, forming a torrent that allowed Kakuzu and Sasori to stand on them.
"Won't this thing suddenly explode?"
"We just accomplished something big; it would be ridiculous to die at the hands of our own people!"
Kakuzu looked at the explosive tags at his feet and couldn't help but complain. When did explosive tags start being able to carry people away? If this exploded, even if Kakuzu thought he had several lives, he might not be able to survive!
As the torrent of white explosive tags flew up, a hint of relaxation finally flashed in Onoki's eyes on the other side.
"It's over, ya—"
Onoki let out a long breath. This battle made him realize that the Akatsuki's strength probably exceeded the imagination of the entire ninja world.
At the same time, Onoki realized that the Akatsuki organization was now weakened after its battle with Uchiha Ikezumi!
"I'm really curious, just how strong is that guy named Uchiha Ikezumi?"
"Unfortunately, I probably won't be able to see it—"
Onoki sighed and stared blankly at the azure sky. He knew his body better than anyone else; after unleashing that power, he probably really wouldn't survive.
"Father!"
"teacher!"
As the Akatsuki retreated, Deidara, Huangtu, and even Kurotsuchi rushed over.
When Huang Tu saw the extremely horrific injuries on his father's body, his eyes couldn't help but well up with tears. Even Deidara, who always angered Onoki, called him "teacher" instead of "old man."
"After I die, Huang Tu will take over as the next Tsuchikage."
"Yellow Earth, you haven't mastered Dust Release yet, so once Deidara learns it, you should hand over the Tsuchikage position to him!"
"Deidara, I know you've always been obsessed with your so-called art of explosion. I don't object to you learning the art of explosion; your clay techniques are very strong. But I still hope you can calm down and learn Dust Release."
"Or, after I die, you can teach Dust Release to another Iwagakure ninja who is capable of learning it."
"Pass on the Dust Escape technique; this is my only request of you!"
Looking at the yellow earth and Deidara in front of him, and then at the tearful Kurotsuchi on the other side, Onoki couldn't help but feel regret. He hadn't truly taught Deidara the Dust Release, and he hadn't seen Kurotsuchi and Deidara get married. How could he have to die like this?
"Father, let's go to Konoha and ask Tsunade for help. If we can get Tsunade, there's definitely still a chance to save you!"
Huang Tu forced himself to hold back his tears, wanting to give Onoki a little more will to live, but after hearing Huang Tu's words, Onoki simply shook his head slowly.
He knew his own body best; his bones were shattered into countless pieces. His body was already old and frail, and under those extreme conditions, it was completely burned away.
Let alone Tsunade, even if the Sage of Six Paths were to be resurrected, Onoki felt that he was probably beyond saving.
In the final moments of his life, his greatest worry was still his disciple Deidara!
As Onoki shook his head, he seemed to have exhausted his last bit of strength, and his gaze as he looked at the sky slowly froze, even becoming dazed.
"teacher----"
Deidara looked at Onoki's lifeless body and was at a loss for what to do.
At this time, Deidara was clearly not yet at the rebellious stage, and his feelings for Onoki were still quite deep. Watching his teacher die in front of him, Deidara didn't know what to feel for a moment.
"The Akatsuki!"
"I'll remember you!"
"One day, I will find your Akatsuki base, and just like what you did to Iwagakure, I will blow you and your base to smithereens!"
Deidara made some harsh remarks. He had no other thoughts at the moment but to return everything that Akatsuki had done to Iwagakure!
For Iwagakure, today was destined to be an unforgettable day. The entire village was immersed in a somber atmosphere, while Konoha was filled with joy.
After Tsunade succeeded as Hokage, although she hadn't had time to do anything yet, Konoha seemed to have suddenly entered a new era.
But amidst this commotion, there are others who are thinking about what to do.
For example, Obito Uchiha!
"It's been confirmed. Uchiha Izumi really did return the Tenseigan to the Hyuga clan."
"Now, the main branch of the Hyuga clan consists of only three people: Hyuga Neji, Hyuga Hinata, and Hyuga Hanabi."
"Among them, Hyuga Hanabi is still young, so it is almost impossible for the Tenseigan to fall into her hands. Hyuga Hinata is from the main family, while Hyuga Neji is a bit older, but he was only from the branch family before."
"As long as we keep an eye on Neji and Hinata, it won't be long before we find out who has the Great Tenseigan!"
Black Zetsu was speechless at Obito's behavior. They had finally managed to sneak into Konoha on the day of the Hokage election, but Obito, instead of doing anything productive, ran to the cemetery to pay his respects to Rin.
Moreover, judging from Obito's appearance, he could stay here for most of the day if no one bothered him!
