Summon the Villain: Marvel.

The country of earth, the village of Iwagakure.

The Third Tsuchikage, Ohnoki, sat in the office of the Kage of the Hidden Rock Village. Although his body looked a little hunched, his sharp eyes still revealed an unshakable majesty. Behind him stood Huang Tu and Akagi, two elite ninjas of the Hidden Rock Village. Their expressions were also serious and nervous. At this moment, they were receiving the envoys from New Konoha.

The representative sent by the new Konoha is a diplomatic Humagia named "Humagea Drom". This Humagia has a slender appearance and a gentle smile, giving people an approachable feeling. However, as a diplomatic Humagia, his ability is far more than that. Standing next to him is Konoha's elite ninja Hatake Kakashi, who has a stern expression and a vigilant light in his eyes. On the other side is a strange strong man - Garou. His eyes are like an eagle, and his momentum is fierce, as if the atmosphere of the whole room has become depressed because of his presence.

Ohnoki's eyes swept across the New Konoha envoys, especially lingering on Garou for a moment. As the third Tsuchikage, he had a keen sense of the strong, and the stranger in front of him was obviously not an ordinary person.

Shumagia-Drome bowed slightly and said in a polite tone, "Sandaime Tsuchikage-sama, we are here today to discuss the proposal for a unified government. The leaders of the Land of Water, Land of Fire, and Land of Wind, as well as their respective ninja villages, have agreed to join the unified government of New Konoha. Now only the Land of Earth and the Land of Lightning have not yet officially expressed their stance."

Ohnoki listened quietly, with a hint of thought in his eyes. As an old ninja village, Iwagakure has always maintained a high degree of vigilance and independence against foreign forces. Now it is not easy for him to join a unified regime.

"Unify the government..." Ohnoki muttered softly, with a hint of disdain and vigilance in his tone. He raised his head and said coldly: "Since its establishment, the Hidden Rock Village has always adhered to its own path. We have never attached ourselves to any force. Although your proposal from New Konoha is good, why do you think that our Land of Earth will agree?"

Drome still maintained a polite smile, and he answered calmly: "Sandaime Tsuchikage-sama, we in New Konoha do not want to force any country, but we hope to face possible future threats together through the power of unity. The situation in the ninja world is turbulent now. If each country still acts independently, it will only give foreign enemies an opportunity to take advantage. The establishment of a unified regime is precisely to ensure peace and stability in the ninja world."

Ohnoki snorted coldly, a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, his eyes narrowed slightly, with undisguised contempt: "New Konoha, huh, didn't they just take advantage of the civil strife in Konoha Village and forcibly seize power? Your so-called unified regime, isn't it just to consolidate your own rule? I have seen many such tricks in the Iwagakure Village. Do you really think you can fool me?"

Drome still maintained that polite and gentle smile, and remained unshaken in the face of Ōnoki's sarcasm. His tone was calm but firm: "Sandaime Tsuchikage-sama, I understand your concerns. But the establishment of our New Konoha was by no means out of any personal ambition or power struggle. Everything we do is for the future of the entire ninja world."

He paused for a moment, looking directly at Ohnoki, with a hint of sincerity in his tone: "A unified regime is not to weaken the independence of each country, but to enable us to unite more closely when facing a common threat. The divisions of the past will only make us extremely vulnerable in the face of powerful enemies. The Land of Fire, the Land of Water, and the Land of Wind have already seen this, so they chose to join us and work together to ensure the peace and stability of the ninja world."

Drom slowly raised his hand, a breeze flowing through his fingertips, and his voice became deeper and more powerful: "We cannot deny that the ninja world today is different from the past. Various unstable factors are stirring in the dark. If we continue to act independently, it will not only be difficult to deal with those powerful enemies, but we may even be defeated by them one by one. The purpose of a unified regime is to integrate our strength to resist those potential threats and ensure that our descendants can grow up in a peaceful world."

Drome's eyes were firm, and his tone was filled with an unshakable determination: "Sandaime Tsuchikage-sama, I believe that with your wisdom, you can see the current situation clearly. Joining the unified regime does not mean that the Iwagakure Village will give up its own path, but it will allow you and your village to stand firm in the future storm."

Ōnoki remained stubborn, smiled coldly, put his hands behind his back, and his eyes were still full of disdain: "Since its establishment, the Iwagakure Village has gone through so many ups and downs. We don't need to rely on others, let alone the so-called "protection". We have our own path and our own beliefs. Even if we have to face the enemies of the entire ninja world alone, we will never surrender. Your proposal for the new Konoha, no matter how good it sounds, is nothing more than talk on paper. Your ideals may be great, but they are not suitable for our Iwagakure Village."

He paused, his tone becoming more resolute: "The ninjas of the Iwagakure Village are never afraid of challenges, and never need the protection of others. The so-called unified regime is just another form of bondage. Do you want the Iwagakure Village to surrender? Don't even think about it!"

Ohnoki stared at Drom coldly, his tone full of disdain and vigilance, "New Konoha? You are the real foreign enemy of the ninja world. Of the five major ninja villages, only Iwagakure and Kumogakure are still insisting on their own paths. And your so-called New Konoha, under the banner of unification, is just for your own ambition to annex the entire ninja world."

After listening to Ohnoki's words, Drome's face remained calm, as if Ohnoki's words had no effect on him. He raised his hand slightly, signaling Ohnoki to calm down, "Third-generation Tsuchikage, please wait a moment. I think you may have a different opinion after watching this clip."

As Drom finished speaking, a ray of light shot out from his eyes, and the virtual screen immediately unfolded in front of Ohnoki. Ohnoki frowned slightly, and his heart beat involuntarily, feeling a little uneasy. Huangtu and Chitu's faces instantly became solemn. They immediately protected Ohnoki behind them, and stared at the screen in front of them nervously.

Seeing this, the hungry wolf raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a scornful smile, as if mocking their overly sensitive and stupid reactions.

Huang Tu glared at the hungry wolf, his anger was looming, but he still tried hard not to get angry. Chi Tu clenched his fists, leaned forward slightly, and was ready to attack at any time.

Drom said calmly: "Please don't worry, we are just showing you some facts, there is no threat." His tone was gentle, but it carried an unquestionable power, as if telling the other party that no matter how hard they struggled, they could not change the facts.

Ohnoki knew that his people had lost face, so he sighed and waved his hand to signal Huangtu and Chitu to retreat behind him. The three of them stared at the screen and began to watch the scene shown by Drome.

In the picture, the great snake descended like a god, and easily defeated the two-tail and the eight-tail with overwhelming force. The earth-shaking power and the irresistible sense of oppression made the expressions of the three people in front of the screen gradually become stiff. A trace of shock flashed in Ohnoki's eyes, while Huang Tu and Akagi's faces changed drastically, obviously unable to accept the facts before their eyes.

After a moment, Huangdi shook his head, trying to convince himself and Ohnoki, "This is impossible... How could the Two-Tails and the Eight-Tails be defeated so easily? This must be some kind of illusion!"

Akatsuki also said nervously, "Yes, Lord Tsuchikage, this is not a real image, it must be some kind of forgery!"

At this moment, the Anbu of the Iwagakure Village suddenly broke into the room, looking nervous, and walked directly to Ohnoki, whispering a few words in his ear. After Ohnoki heard it, his face sank, his palms trembled slightly, but he still maintained his calm on the surface. He raised his head, with a hint of shock and complex emotions in his eyes, and slowly looked at the New Konoha envoys.

Ohnoki's eyes swept behind Drom and stopped at Kakashi and Garou. Kakashi still maintained his usual stern expression, his eyes half-closed, looking calm and alert. His silver hair flickered slightly under the light, and he looked like a sharp blade about to be unsheathed, ready to strike at any time. Garou standing next to him was like a beast ready to tear its prey apart at any time, with cold eyes and fierce momentum. The undisguised murderous intent made Ohnoki feel a little chill.

Ohnoki narrowed his eyes, calculating the current situation in his mind, and then sneered, with a hint of provocation in his tone, "Mr. Drom, since you New Konoha are so confident, why not let the two masters behind you have a battle drill with my two subordinates Huangtu and Akatsuki to see how strong you are."

Drome smiled slightly and nodded in agreement without hesitation, "Sandaime Tsuchikage-sama, your proposal is very reasonable. We can also take this opportunity to show the fighting power of the new Konoha. Kakashi, Garou, are you ready?"

Kakashi nodded slightly, his eyes swept over Huang Tu and Chi Tu, and then said lazily, "I'm at your service anytime."

Hungry Wolf sneered, a bloodthirsty light flashed in his eyes, and he said in a low voice, "I can't wait."

Drome looked at the two men with satisfaction, then turned to Ōnoki and said calmly, "Tsuchikage-sama, we gladly accept your proposal. This battle exercise will be a fair competition, and we hope that you can see the sincerity of our New Konoha."

Ohnoki nodded slightly. Although his face remained calm, his heart was full of anticipation for the upcoming battle. The eyes of both sides met in the air, and there seemed to be a hint of tension in the air. The prelude to the battle had quietly begun.
