Train to Another World.

Chapter 146: Generation Hokage

Although the weather was relatively mild when we set out from the Fire Kingdom, by the time we arrived at the Iron Kingdom bordering the Fire Kingdom, it had already started snowing.

Although the Fire Nation is closest to the Iron Nation, when Danzo arrived, the other four Kage had already been waiting for several days.

At the entrance of the Iron Country, several warriors in heavy armor were already waiting here. Ever since Otsutsuki brought chakra to the Ninja World, the original warrior forces were gradually replaced by the Ninja Clan and the subsequent Ninjas.

The remaining warriors, in order to avoid being eliminated, had no choice but to start learning how to use chakra. This was true for the ancestors of the Hatake family, and also for the warriors of the Iron Country.

However, unlike the Hatake family, the warriors of the Iron Country still retain the pride of a warrior. Although they use chakra, they only use it to enhance the power of sword skills. They will never abandon sword skills and use ninjutsu instead.

Since the last person has arrived, the Five Shadow Conference will of course be held together. Because of Li Zhuoguang's official status, he also has a seat at the venue, at his strong request.

The organizer, the Iron Nation, added a lot of chairs behind his seat so that Qin Daniu and his friends as well as Uzumaki Naruto could sit there, instead of standing behind their own shadows like the Shadow Guards.

Because the Five Kage Conference was originally proposed by the Raikage, the Iron Kingdom was only chosen as the host venue for the sake of fairness.

So the Raikage started the attack from the very beginning. The core of the problem was that his own Eight-Tails Jinchuriki was abducted by Sasuke of the Akatsuki organization, and the tailed beasts of other ninja villages were also targets of the Akatsuki organization.

Although on the surface they wanted to unite with other ninja villages to deal with Akatsuki, their words were all directed at other ninja villages. After all, other ninja villages had rebels joining Akatsuki, but their Hidden Cloud Village was the only one that remained unscathed.

Moreover, on the Raikage's hate list, the Iwagakure Village ranks above the Konoha Village.

"The purpose of this Five Kage Conference is to eradicate the Akatsuki organization. After all, their goal is to collect the tailed beasts. I think the Kazekage should be very clear about the consequences of the Jinchūriki's tailed beasts being captured.

But before the meeting begins, I would like to confirm everyone's position. After all, some of us have unclear ties with Akatsuki."

As the Fourth Raikage Ai said this, he glared at the Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki without disguising his gaze.

But Ohnoki said nonchalantly: "Since the situation has stabilized, the village no longer needs so many ninjas ready for war. In order to maximize profits, hiring external aid is of course justified. And as far as I know, we are not the only one doing this.

Don’t you think so, Master Kazekage?”

The Fifth Kazekage Gaara looked puzzled: "Tsuchikage-sama, what do you mean?"

Ōnoki looked at Gaara and he didn't seem to be pretending to be stupid. It seemed that he had just taken office and was unaware of the situation. Or maybe because he was young, he had been sidelined by the elders of the Sand Village.

After figuring this out, Ohnoki lost his interest in being sarcastic and just said, "Your Sand Village has also used Akatsuki before. After all, your Sand Village is not rich. If you hire Akatsuki, you don't need to pay too much and they will be willing to join the war, and you can even get the best results.

Who could refuse in this situation? I just didn’t think of it at the time…”

At this time, the Mizukage Mei Terumi also spoke up: "To be honest, we suspected that the previous Mizukage was controlled by someone. Although there is no definite evidence, all clues point to Akatsuki."

Then, Danzo threw out another important piece of information: "After our investigation, we confirmed that the leader of the Akatsuki organization is most likely Uchiha Madara."

Ohnoki was shocked: "What?! Isn't he dead?"

Among the several Kages present, Ohnoki was the oldest. He had seen Uchiha Madara when he was young, so he certainly understood how strong this monster was. Although people’s strength would inevitably decline as they aged, if it was Uchiha Madara…

"Impossible, absolutely impossible." Li Zhuoguang said what Ohnoki wanted to say in his heart: "I have read the documents about Uchiha Madara. If the first generation Hokage had not called for peace, Madara would have been suppressed.

I'm afraid he alone is enough to destroy the other four ninja villages."

Bang! Ai slammed the table and said unhappily, "Are you looking down on our Hidden Cloud Village?"

Li Zhuoguang did not argue with him, but just stated the facts: "Do you remember how the tailed beasts of the five major ninja villages came from?"

"Tsk!" This time, Ai stopped talking.

Li Zhuoguang continued, "Moreover, as far as I know, the nine tailed beasts were captured by the first Hokage during a single outing. Then Uchiha Madara, who was equally matched with him...

If the leader of Akatsuki is really Madara, it is estimated that the five Kage would not be able to gather together for the meeting now."

Ai interrupted impatiently, "Okay, I know Uchiha Madara is powerful! But so what, didn't the Uchiha clan still get exterminated? If he was really still alive, how could he let his clan perish."

"His family abandoned him as the patriarch for Konoha, so it's hard to say whether he will stand by and watch." Li Zhuoguang shrugged: "Also, I didn't think of it just now. Lord Raikage, you should have received my letter, right?" Ai also remembered the message that Samui brought back, stared at Li Zhuoguang and asked: "Are you the Minister of Finance of the Land of Fire?"

"It's me."

"Hmph! I've read your letter. We in the Cloud Ninja Village aren't a stingy place. We were indeed at fault in this matter. If you want compensation, we'll give it to you." As he spoke, Ai clapped his hands, and the shadow guards behind him carried out a box.

Li Zhuoguang's eyes twitched, because he recognized that this box was the one he gave to Samui. Good fellow, you people in the Cloud Ninja Village are so thrifty that you don't even want to buy a box.

Ai opened the box, revealing that a large portion of the gold was missing.

Including Danzo, the other Kages were all very confused. In their impression, the Raikage was an unreasonable and reckless man. When did he become so easy to talk to?

Then, the Raikage took out a gold coin from the box, weighed it in his hand, then pinched the coin with both hands and tore it into two halves.

He weighed one half again, frowning, it still seemed too much. He tore it again, and the half became two quarters.

Ai smiled with satisfaction, this time it was right. He threw a quarter of the small golden horn towards Danzo, and the small golden horn was nailed straight on the table in front of Danzo.

Ai threw the remaining three quarters of the gold coins back into the box and closed it.

"Raikage, are you humiliating me?!" Danzo shouted at Ai angrily.

Ai shook his head seriously: "If you say compensation, you have to pay it, but the amount of compensation will be determined by me."

Ai picked up the box with one hand, looked at Uzumaki Naruto who was sitting behind Li Zhuoguang, and threw it to him: "Come on, kid."

The box containing gold fell straight towards Naruto. If it were an ordinary person, the Raikage's actions would undoubtedly be murderous.

But no one present was unable to take the box. Well, I forgot about William, except for him.

When the box fell into Uzumaki Naruto's hands, he was still a little dazed.

"Raikage, what are you doing?" Li Zhuoguang asked knowingly.

"Humph! The news from your Land of Fire has reached you, because Uzumaki Naruto turned the tide when Akatsuki invaded, and repelled the enemy single-handedly.

Therefore, the Fire Nation listed him as one of the candidates for the Sixth Hokage, together with Danzo.

Minister of Finance, the letter you sent only mentioned that the envoys from the Kumogakure attacked the Hokage of Konoha. After I heard the report from Samui, I found that she attacked both of them.

However, the Uzumaki Hokage seems to be seriously injured, while the Shimura Hokage seems to have no scratches, so it is reasonable for me to compensate the Uzumaki Hokage more."

Then Ai turned to Danzo and said, "Shimura Dai-Hokage, don't misunderstand me. I am only compensating according to the severity of the injury. It is definitely not because you are too scared to fight back. I look down on you."

"Raikage! I am maintaining peace between the villages of Thunder and Fire!!!"

Ai listened to Danzo's words and just smiled disdainfully without answering. He looked at Uzumaki Naruto who was still in a daze sitting in the back and shouted angrily: "Boy, since you are the deputy Hokage, why don't you sit up."

"The Raikage doesn't need to worry about the affairs of our Konoha Village."

"A man who is not tolerant will not be respected." Mei Terumi, who was watching the fun from the side, started to add fuel to the fire.

This was a situation that Ohnoki was happy to see: "Shimura Dai Hokage, you are not afraid of competing with a junior, are you?"

"Mr. Mifune, please bring another chair." This is Gaara. When it comes to Naruto, why would he hesitate? Of course he would stand by Naruto without thinking.

Seeing that more than half of the Kage requested for another seat, Mifune had another chair brought over and placed it next to Danzo.

Li Zhuoguang looked back at Naruto and said, "Now that it has come to this, go ahead, Acting Hokage."
