ASFUCITWON Chapter 165: Onoki's Goal
🕑 Added 2025-03-24 12:20:43 +0000 UTCBut it wasn't just about trading food or ordinary goods.
They began selling Explosive Tags in a variety of elements—something that had never happened before.
The Explosive Tags that used to rely solely on fire, were now evolving.
They were selling Water-based Explosive Tags, which when detonated would create a large wave.
Wind-based Explosive Tags, which could create a high-pressure vacuum explosion.
Lightning-based Explosive Tags, which could send dangerous shockwaves in all directions.
Earth-based Explosive Tags, which could easily destroy enemy defense structures.
This wasn't just an innovation.
This was a major step toward a much more dangerous force.
If the Uzumaki Clan was allowed to continue to grow, then in the next few years they could control the ninja weapons trade.
They could become a more dangerous military resource than Konoha, Iwa, Kumo, Suna, or even Kiri.
And that couldn't happen.
Onoki clenched his fists, feeling the coldness of the table's stone beneath his palms.
The Uzumaki clan was a threat.
Not just because of their Fuinjutsu, but also because of their ingenuity and adaptability.
If they continued to grow like this, the ninja world would change.
The balance of power would be shaken.
And before that happened, they had to be stopped.
Onoki stared at the letters in front of him.
The letters that Onoki had sent to the other Kage, contained plans to work together to attack the Uzumaki clan.
Now, all Onoki needed was an answer.
If they agreed to this plan, then the attack on Uzushiogakure was only a matter of time.
The Uzumaki clan may be strong.
But how strong would they be if the world came together to destroy them?

Somewhere in Kumogakure, inside the Raikage's office, the atmosphere was quiet and tense.
The room was quite spacious with a large window that overlooked the village, showing the dark clouds hanging over the mountains that surrounded Kumogakure.
Several sheets of documents were scattered on a large wooden table, while two men stood inside the room.
The first man was the Third Raikage, a muscular man with muscles as hard as steel, dark skin that glistened from the lighting of the large candles in the room.
The Third Raikage's silver hair added to the impression of authority, and the Third Raikage's sharp eyes radiated the firmness of a leader.
However, at this moment, the Raikage's face was slightly wrinkled, a rare expression that made the man in front of him a little surprised.
The second man was A, the Third Raikage's son and future successor.
Blond with a body that almost matched his father in terms of strength, A stood with his arms folded across his chest, where A stared at his father curiously.
"What is it, Father?" A asked, his eyebrows slightly raised.
The Third Raikage sighed, then placed a scroll of letters on the table with a 'thak!' sound that echoed in the quiet room.
"That Onoki brat... sent us a letter, proposing a partnership to wipe out the Uzumaki Clan."
Those words echoed in the room.
A's eyes widened instantly.
"What?! Has Onoki gone mad? Isn't he afraid of starting a big war with Konoha?" A exclaimed in disbelief.
The Third Raikage just stared at A calmly, as if the Third Raikage had thought this through long before telling him.
"Maybe that's Onoki's goal."
"...What?"
The Third Raikage leaned forward slightly, lacing his fingers together on the table.
"If the Uzumaki Clan is wiped out before the Second Great Ninja War begins, then Konoha will lose one of their strongest allies."
"Not just any ordinary ally—but a clan with incredible Fuinjutsu."
"If that happens, Konoha's strength will be significantly reduced."
A still looked in disbelief.
Where A knows that the Uzumaki Clan is indeed known to be strong, but they are not a clan that likes to fight.
