Chapter 207: Danzo: "God helps me!"
Chapter 207: Danzo: "God helps me!"
Iron country.
A rare neutral country in the ninja world, because the Iron Kingdom is ruled by samurai instead of ninjas.
An unknown amount of time ago, the samurai established a samurai kingdom in this remote snowfield and made an agreement with the ninja that the Iron Kingdom would be a permanent neutral country that would not be invaded by any ninja.
Independent culture, independent heritage, independent combat system and armed forces, so that everything here will not be interfered with by ninjas.
It is for this reason that the Land of Iron was chosen as the location for the Five Kage Summit to avoid interference from any ninja force.
At this moment, Mifune, the leader of the Iron Country, sat upright as spotlights lit up, illuminating the locations of the Five Great Countries and the Five Hidden Villages.
"Ahem, this Five Kage Summit was convened by the Third Tsuchikage. Now that the leaders of each village have arrived, I declare that the Five Kage Summit has officially begun!"
The spotlights came on again, falling on the figures in the five chairs, illuminating everyone's faces.
"Oh? In just over a decade, several positions have been replaced by newcomers. Danzo looks familiar, but who are these people?"
Ōnoki was the first to speak, and as soon as he opened his mouth he began to show off his seniority, his eyes scanning the surroundings.
"The Sand Village has not yet selected the fifth Kazekage. I will be the temporary leader."
Maki's face was gloomy. The Third Tsuchikage's attitude of asking questions even though he knew the answer was obvious, which was an intentional demonstration to the Sand Village.
"The Fourth Mizukage was unfortunately attacked by the thieves of the Akatsuki organization a few days ago. He died gloriously while protecting the village. Now I will temporarily take over the position of the Fifth Mizukage."
Mei Terumi went straight to the point and instantly left Ōnoki, who was just about to make a big speech in an attempt to take control of the situation, speechless.
"Akatsuki? This is really strange. As far as I know, the people who hired Akatsuki and sent four Jinchuriki to launch the collapse plan against Konoha were the Kages of each village, right?"
Danzo narrowed his eyes and took the opportunity to make another comment.
"You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want! That was a private action by the Jinchūriki and has nothing to do with the Hidden Cloud Village."
The Fourth Raikage, who looked irritable and reckless but was actually a thoughtful person, slammed the table and shouted.
Except for Danzo, the Kages and representatives of the other four major countries looked very unhappy.
If the leader of Akatsuki had not rebelled temporarily and taken the opportunity to kill the Jinchūriki of the Four Hidden Villages, it would be unclear whether Konoha Village would exist now.
"This is the business of the previous generation of Mizukage. I know nothing about it, but the Akatsuki organization openly attacked the Hidden Mist Village, which really happened..."
"The owner of the Rinnegan, the leader of the Akatsuki organization, attacked the Fourth Mizukage and deprived him of the tailed beast in his body. There must be a plan behind this that will endanger the entire ninja world."
Mei Terumi spoke in a calm tone, and Ōnoki's expression actually looked a little better.
"It seems that we are not the only ones who were attacked in Iwagakure. I never thought that such an outstanding person as the Fourth Mizukage was also killed by the thieves of Akatsuki. It is really a pity that the outstanding people died early."
Ignoring the sarcasm of the Third Tsuchikage, Mei Terumi turned her head and smiled, pointing out the problem in the sentence.
"From what the Third Tsuchikage said, could it be that even your village's Jinchūriki has been..."
Oonoki's expression froze and he spoke in a dull tone.
"The Five-Tails Jinchuriki, the Steam Ninja Man, was captured by the Akatsuki organization. I personally stepped in but failed to stop them. The Rinnegan seems to have the ability to absorb all ninjutsu."
When this important news came out, even the Fourth Raikage, who was proud of his brother being the perfect Jinchūriki, couldn't help but tremble with fear.
"What did you say! Ohnoki, even your Dust Release, which is said to be able to turn everything into dust, can't eliminate the blood stains?"
"That red-haired brat personally absorbed the Dust Release into his body right in front of the old man. There is no doubt that it is one of the abilities of the Rinnegan."
Danzo silently noted down the key information and crossed Ōnoki off the threat list.
"They dared to openly attack Konoha, directly killed the Fourth Kazekage and the Fourth Mizukage, and privately plundered the Jinchūriki and the Tailed Beasts. The Akatsuki organization is no longer a mercenary of the dark world, but a dark organization that intends to threaten the peace of the ninja world."
"Since their leader possesses the legendary eye technique of the Rinnegan, I propose to form an alliance of five major nations to formally hunt down the Akatsuki organization in the ninja world."
"According to reliable sources, the leader of the Akatsuki organization is named Nagato, and he is a traitor ninja from the Hidden Rain Village. The deceased Kakuzu and Orochimaru are both S-rank traitor ninjas."
"Among the remaining three members of Akatsuki, one is unknown, and the remaining two are Scorpion of the Red Sand and Uchiha Itachi, both of whom are famous masters."
Danzo muttered in a low voice, and when the Fourth Raikage heard it, he couldn't help but glare at him.
"Who will be the leader then? Don't tell me it's you. You are the epitome of darkness in the ninja world. You are not much better than the leader of Akatsuki."
"Fourth Raikage! I am the Fifth Hokage. How can I be compared with those thieves of Akatsuki?"
Danzo's eyes turned cold, but he showed no fear in the face of the young and strong Fourth Raikage in front of him, and then he poked him in a low voice.
"It is understandable that the Fourth Raikage has such an attitude towards my Konoha Village. After all, the amount of compensation for the accident more than ten years ago was too huge..."
"You bastard!"
boom!
The wooden table in front of him shattered with a sound, and figures blocked their way one after another. Mifune looked around and coughed twice.
"Dear Kages, you represent the dignity of the great nations. Please calm down and negotiate carefully."
"It is imperative to form an alliance. Each tailed beast could be called a natural disaster or a demon in the Warring States Period. Now Akatsuki has six tailed beasts, which is enough to sweep across any major country, except Konoha, which I represent."
Without waiting for Mifune to continue, Danzo looked around and spoke in a deep tone.
"What you said is indeed true, but can you represent him? Konoha's Nine-Tailed Demon Fox has not been taken away by the Akatsuki organization for the time being, but we in Kumogakure also have the Eight-Tailed Jinchuriki, Danzo, you can forget it..."
Danzo's expression was indifferent, and no one noticed that his eye under the bandage was quietly changing.
Just when Kotoamatsukami was about to launch his attack, the Hidden Cloud Ninja who had hurried over stopped Danzo from taking action.
"Oh no, the Fourth Raikage, Master has been attacked by the Akatsuki organization and has now left the Land of Lightning..."
Every ninja present was a veteran of many battles, and they were extremely proficient in small skills such as lip reading.
With a barely perceptible curl of his lips, Danzo completely stopped the illusion he was about to launch and laughed inwardly.
God help me...
At the border between the Land of Lightning and Konoha Village, near the Land of Rice.
Scorpion of the Red Sand and Uchiha Itachi were walking on a green grassland, with a sharp Kusanagi sword with a pure white scabbard inserted in front of them.
"Are you ready to face your death? Uchiha Itachi!"
