Chapter 192 Black Zetsu Comes to the Door
Chapter 192 Black Zetsu Comes to the Door
After the fact that everyone was impure was revealed, the Five Kage Summit meeting room fell silent for a while.
But after a period of silence, the tense and confrontational atmosphere disappeared.
It's a very simple principle.
If you do everything, it's the same as not doing anything at all.
Since everyone is corrupt, then no one should criticize anyone else.
And by doing this one thing together, the foundation of trust is established.
The Fourth Raikage's move perfectly showcased his top-tier economic acumen among the five great ninja villages.
The other four shadows, all shrewd individuals, also realized this after a brief silence.
"Let's get down to business!" Tsunade beckoned, and Yamato, looking miserable, came up. She set up a round table again, and then Shizune brought over five cups of fresh tea. Everything seemed to have returned to how it all started.
The Fourth Raikage picked up his teacup and downed it in one gulp.
Then, seemingly feeling that the teacup was too small and he wasn't satisfied with drinking from it, he called over Shizune, snatched the teapot from her hand, and drank it down along with the tea leaves.
After finishing his tea, the Fourth Raikage casually wiped his mouth and looked at everyone: "I'm setting the tone. Akatsuki is no longer an ordinary terrorist organization. We have to strike hard. Any questions?"
"No!" Temari shook her head.
"Neither do I!" Mei Terumi nodded slightly.
"The Rinnegan, huh? That definitely needs to be addressed!"
Onoki recalled the past, the scene where he and the Second Tsuchikage Mu were together, but were mercilessly ravaged by Uchiha Madara who possessed the Mangekyou Sharingan.
If the Mangekyou Sharingan is that powerful, then the Rinnegan is even more so.
"I will immediately recall Jiraiya and make him explain," Tsunade stated. "If the reincarnator is indeed his disciple, I will make him take responsibility."
"As for Akatsuki, no one understands the extent of their threat better than I do!" Tsunade sighed.
"Very good!" Seeing that the five Kage had successfully reached a consensus, the Raikage nodded in satisfaction: "Now that we have decided to form an alliance, there is only one last thing left!"
Raikage scanned the crowd: "Who will take on the role of commander-in-chief of this allied forces?"
Upon hearing the term "commander-in-chief," the already very serious Five Shadows became even more focused.
However, after concentrating, the five shadows each performed differently.
Temari shrank back, clearly knowing that she was not qualified in terms of either strength or experience.
Mei Terumi crossed her arms, supporting her full chest, and sighed softly.
She certainly had the ambition and drive to compete for the position of commander of the allied forces, but the Mist Ninja were too weak to shoulder the main responsibility.
Onoki's cunning little eyes darted around.
He also wanted to be a commander, but unfortunately, Iwa ninja did not have enough achievements in either the Second or Third Shinobi World War, and the strongest ninja, Konoha and Kumo ninja, would not submit to him.
But if it's a fight between the snipe and the clam...
Onoki looked at Tsunade and the Raikage.
Temari and Mei Terumi also looked at Tsunade and the Raikage.
Noticing the three people's gazes, Tsunade smiled slightly: "Raikage-sama, it seems that the Commander-in-Chief position will have to be chosen between you and me!"
"Yes, Hokage-sama!" The Raikage's expression was calm, as if he hadn't thought about anything, but the fact that he no longer addressed Tsunade as Hokage already revealed his current situation.
Seeing this, Tsunade smiled and said, "Then, I'll leave the position of Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Forces to Lord Raikage!"
"What?" Tsunade's concession caught Onoki off guard.
The Tsunade he remembered was not like this.
"There's nothing strange about it, is there?" Tsunade casually interlaced her fingers and rested them on her chin. "I'm actually more suited to fighting from the rear than from the front."
"After all, I am essentially a medical ninja!"
"..." Ohnoki remained silent.
To be honest, that's true.
"Then let's continue discussing the coalition forces!"
The Raikage ignored Onoki: "Our mission this time is twofold: first, to eliminate the Akatsuki, a terrifying organization, and second, to reclaim the tailed beasts from the various ninja villages."
"As for Akatsuki's base, it's in the Land of Rain, a place everyone is familiar with. The attack route is self-evident, so there's only one question left for us to discuss!"
"The Land of Iron!"
Mei Terumi frowned: "Do you want to bring the samurai of the Land of Iron into this too?"
“But they won’t come, will they?” Temari objected. “It’s true that Akatsuki threatens the entire ninja world, but in the end, it’s just a matter for ninjas.”
"That's not wrong!"
The Raikage nodded in agreement: "But Akatsuki's idea is to use the Tailed Beasts to create a super weapon and establish an equal deterrent system for everyone. Even if the Land of Iron is a neutral country, it cannot escape it."
“Mifune is a smart man,” Onoki chimed in. “Alright, I’ll go run the errand!”
After finishing their conversation and discussing some minor matters, Onoki stepped on a stone and flew away alone.
Thus, the first Five Kage Summit came to a successful conclusion, and the war machines of the five great ninja villages, which had been dormant for more than a decade, once again began to operate at high speed.
Thanks to the information relayed by White Zetsu, Pain received the news immediately after completing the capture of the Nine-Tails.
Have the five great ninja villages united?
Upon hearing this, Payne's expression remained unchanged, but he felt a little nervous inside.
A person's name is like a tree's shadow. After all, these are the five great ninja villages that control the highest level of violence in the ninja world. It would be a miracle if someone didn't get nervous when they suddenly heard that they had all joined forces to deal with them.
"Yes, Pain, what are you planning to do?" Obito asked. "They plan to invade the Land of Rain!"
"Invade the Land of Rain?" Pain suddenly recalled the scene of his childhood when his parents were killed by Konoha ninja.
The tension from just now vanished instantly, replaced by a chilling killing intent.
“If they can do it…” Payne’s voice was cold and hard, as icy as a block of ancient ice: “Let them come!”
"I will be waiting for them in the Land of Rain!"
"Nan!" Payne suddenly called out.
Konan stepped out from behind Payne.
Standing atop the steel spire of Amegakure, Pain gazed at the village, a place built of steel towers that had swallowed up all the funds he had accumulated since founding Akatsuki.
After a long pause, Payne coldly spoke: "Konan, as God's messenger, deliver the divine message to everyone!"
"War is about to begin!"
"Yes!" Xiao Nan nodded and vanished in an instant.
Under the message of the angel, the long-silent Rain Village was shaken!
Meanwhile, on the other side...
Black Zetsu also arrived at the Land of Fire, in front of Chiba's stronghold.
"Dong dong dong dong!"
There was a knock on the door.
To Black Zetsu's surprise, Chiba's door was not closed at all!
It knocked lightly on the door, and the door opened a crack.
"Come in!" Qianyu's voice came.
The white Zetsu, which Black Zetsu was attached to, pushed open the door. Chiyu, who should have been resting, was brewing tea and waiting for it.
Beside Chiba was Sasuke, whose eyes were still wrapped in bandages.
Seeing this, Hei Jue understood: "As expected, you knew I was coming all along!"
"This isn't surprising, is it?"
Qianyu lazily half-closed her eyes, her slender hand supporting her cheek: "So, you're here to confess your plans?"
