Naruto the Genius

Chapter 257 Ninja Alliance

The Tsuchikage said, "Compared to the large amount of time and money it takes to train ninjas by ourselves, Akatsuki as a mercenary only needs a small amount of money. As a professional war group, Akatsuki can get the greatest benefits at a small cost." The Raikage said, "Don't just say nice things, Tsuchikage!"

The Tsuchikage could only snort and stop talking, while the Raikage continued: "The Sand Ninja used Akatsuki to destroy Konoha. The final result was that both the Hokage and the Kazekage died in the battle. Although it was not certain at that time whether Orochimaru had left Akatsuki, there was definitely a mastermind behind this matter." As he spoke, the Raikage looked at Tsunade. Tsunade also knew that this matter was very likely related to Danzo, but she didn't know what to say, after all, there was no definite evidence.

Seeing that Tsunade didn't answer, the Raikage continued, "The one who should be blamed most is you, the Kirigakure. You have no diplomacy and are almost isolated from the world. There are even rumors that Akatsuki was born there!" Hearing what the Raikage said, the Mizukage said regretfully, "Now that things have come to this, I will say whatever I want." The two people standing behind the Mizukage were shocked and thought to themselves, "Could it be that Lord Mizukage wants to make that matter known?" Sure enough, the Mizukage said, "I suspect that someone is secretly manipulating the Fourth Mizukage, Lord Yagura. This may be related to Akatsuki. So, I can't say anything." Such a thing is simply a great shame for a village. The leader of the village is being manipulated by someone. To what extent has it reached?

However, the fact that the Mizukage could say this shows that he was very frank. The Raikage was even more unreasonable at this time. He glanced at the other Kages and said, "You are all birds of a feather." Indeed, what the Raikage said was not completely unreasonable. At least no one in the Hidden Cloud Village defected to the Akatsuki organization. However, the Tsuchikage couldn't stand it when he heard him say this, and said sternly, "Raikage, don't go too far. The long-term war has already overwhelmed us. It's not easy to get a chance to recuperate. For this reason, we all try to reduce military spending. And you are still expanding and collecting ninjutsu everywhere. We have no choice but to hire Akatsuki."

The Raikage said angrily, "We are collecting ninjutsu and expanding our strength because Konoha is too powerful and we have the support of Sand as an ally. In the previous war with Konoha, we lost a lot of combat power. If we don't expand, we will completely lose balance." The Tsuchikage said, "In the conflict with Konoha, we also lost a lot of combat power. Relatively speaking, the situation is much more serious than your Kumogakure. Isn't it because of your own ambition that you are constantly expanding your strength?"

Tsunade knew that if she continued to talk like this, it would be very likely that the other ninja villages would point their spearheads at Konoha. She immediately interrupted them and said, "I don't want to say anything about your current dispute. However, according to reliable intelligence we have obtained in Konoha, the leader of Akatsuki is very likely Uchiha Madara." After hearing the name Uchiha Madara, the others immediately quieted down. Gaara said, "Didn't Uchiha Madara die a long time ago?"

Tsunade said: "That's the problem. Uchiha Madara is very likely to have used some kind of technique to survive until today. His strength is very terrifying, and he can even easily control the Nine-Tails." Gaara said: "Easily control the Nine-Tails." The Nine-Tails' strength can be said to be the strongest among the many tailed beasts. Tsunade said this to tell them how terrifying Madara is. Hearing Tsunade mention Uchiha Madara, the others also knew his strength to some extent, not to mention Ohnoki. For a moment, everyone sank.

Mifune said, "As a neutral country, I have a few words to say. If the leader of Akatsuki is Uchiha Madara, he should immediately control the tailed beasts and take action. I don't need to tell you the power of the tailed beasts. Everyone knows that we must take action immediately and form a ninja coalition." Ohnoki said, "Ninja coalition? Who should be the leader at that time?" Mifune thought for a while and said, "I suggest that the Hokage be the leader."

The Raikage immediately stood up and shouted, "Why? Why should such a woman be the leader? I will never approve of the Ninja Alliance." Tsunade was also a person with a bad temper. She immediately stood up and shouted, "Raikage, you are too much. I am not very interested in being the leader, but are you more suitable than me to be the leader?" The Raikage said, "No one in our Kumogakure has ever joined Akatsuki. Logically, I should be the leader."

Mifune interrupted him and said, "I'm afraid this is hard to convince people." Raikage said, "Why?" Mifune pointed to the table before and said, "As a leader, I can understand that sometimes some tough measures are needed. However, if you act too impulsively, the ninja alliance will probably fall apart like this table." After Mifune said this, coupled with the strong physical evidence, the Raikage could only grit his teeth and be speechless.

Mifune added, "Lord Kazekage is still too young. The workload of the Kazekage alone is already heavy, so he is not suitable to be the leader. On the contrary, the Tsuchikage is too old and obviously lacks vitality. Moreover, he tends to use Akatsuki and is difficult to trust. Kirigakure is said to be the birthplace of Akatsuki. In addition to the issue of trust, there are also concerns about spies infiltrating. Now, of all the tailed beasts, only Konoha's Nine-Tails is left. It must not fall into the hands of Akatsuki again, so it is most appropriate for the Hokage to be the leader."

Having said that, how could the other Kage, especially the Raikage, agree? Everyone held their own opinions, and the debate became more and more intense. While everyone was arguing, Naruto used a Wood Style clone to fill in the numbers, and his real body quietly left using the Flying Thunder God Technique. Wood Style clones are extremely difficult to identify, and Naruto has injected a large amount of chakra, even some of the Nine-Tails' chakra. It is very difficult for the people present to find it, and after obtaining the power of the Nine-Tails, Naruto also has the ability to sense malice. Even if something unexpected really happens here, Naruto believes that it will not be discovered.

If the clone is really attacked, Naruto can just use Flying Thunder God to transfer back, and the possibility of being discovered is almost zero. The reason for doing this is that Naruto is doing something big now. And unlike ordinary things, it is completely impossible for Tsunade and other people from the Land of Fire to notice it. Therefore, Naruto must create a condition where he is not present, so as not to be suspected by others.

After doing all this, Naruto came to Chunlai Villa. Everything had been prepared according to Naruto's deployment, just waiting for Naruto's order.
