Naruto: From the capture of the main family to the behind-the-scenes mastermind

Chapter 227 Alliance
"Having said that, we still have to be on guard."

Tsunade changed the subject and said to Shikaku who was listening attentively below: "I'll need your help to take care of it for the next period of time."

Next, she will focus on the alliance and will have no time to deal with other matters, so she can only let Lu Jiuduo take care of it.

"Yes, Tsunade-sama."

Shikaku nodded, then asked with some concern: "Is it really okay to set up the venue in the capital of the Rain Country?"

Things are not going well in the Rain Country right now. It has become even more chaotic since Hanzo's death.

In addition, the Kage of Sunagakure and Konoha died there. For a big country, it is not only a dangerous place, but also not very auspicious.

Shikaku was worried about letting his daimyo go to the Rain Country.

"It's okay." Tsunade shook her head. "Since this is the moment to witness the alliance of the ninja kingdoms, it is only appropriate to place it in the Rain Country that has suffered so much from war."

Hearing this, Shikaku put away his worries, nodded helplessly, and changed the subject, "Lady Tsunade, do you think he will send someone to participate?"

"Our alliance is to deal with him. Do you think anyone will get involved, or will he send someone to cause trouble?"

The two looked at each other and shook their heads.

Impossible, the other party will not care about such things at all.

Tsunade: "That's all, I'll go get ready."

……

A few days later, Tsunade arrived at the capital of the Rain Country with her guards.

These days, the place has gradually gathered attendees from different countries, including ninjas, kages, and daimyo.

Fortunately, thanks to the tacit approval of a certain organization and official assistance from the Rain Country, everything was arranged in an orderly manner, otherwise disputes might have arisen before the formal talks began.

In order to satisfy the participants, the Rain Country has made every effort. The officials of the Rain Country have carefully planned various arrangements, from the comfort of accommodation to the process of the meeting, striving to achieve perfection.

So soon after Tsunade and her group arrived, they were invited to a separate house to rest and wait for the meeting to begin.

"Tsunade is here too. Is the meeting about to start?"

Konan stood on the second floor of the hotel, looking at Tsunade walking on the street below, pursed her lips, let down the curtains that she had pulled with her left hand, and looked back.

"Nagato, what should we do next? Should we get involved?"

"Leave it to the daimyo." Nagato shook his head. "Our identities are somewhat sensitive. We cannot appear in front of them directly, nor can we use illusions to manipulate the daimyo to attend the meeting. Otherwise, once exposed, the Rain Country may be excluded."

Konan frowned, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that what Nagato said made sense, so he didn't say any more about it. He just sighed and said, "I didn't expect that the opportunity for peace in the ninja world would be a powerful enemy."

Well, it's just an opportunity. Even if countries pretend to want peace, no one knows how long they can keep their fangs.

Anyway, Xiaonan doesn't believe that countries can always live in peace.

Maybe after Hinata Yu dies, the world will return to its original state.

"..."

Nagato rubbed his eyes and sighed.

A powerful enemy... He can't even play such a role now.

Nagato shook his head, frowning as he pondered over someone's words.

'You know nothing about Chakra!'

Hinata Yu's words were deeply engraved in Nagato's heart, and he had been thinking about them since he returned to the Land of Rain. He thought that these words must have some kind of deep meaning, but he could never figure it out.

Nagato also asked Konan and White Zetsu, but to no avail.

As for Obito?

The other party went to look for his own people, so I didn't have time to ask.

There was no special reason for giving him the task of recruiting companions, it was just that Obito ran fast.

……

When the time for the official meeting came, the participants gathered from all directions to the designated area of ​​the Rain Country Daimyo Prefecture and stepped into this place full of historical significance.

The unique design of the stepped venue is like a semicircular theater, with three seats in the center and gradually rising seats around it. Each row of seats is slightly higher than the previous row, forming a step-like shape.

In the spacious and bright hall, representatives from various countries sat around a round table. They were dressed in formal attire and had serious expressions.

The Fourth Raikage, Tsunade, and Ōnoki sat in the center.

"It's nice to live long and enjoy change."

Ōnoki observed the venue and sighed in a low voice.

The identities of the participants from various countries were slightly different. Countries with ninja villages sent village leaders, while countries without ninja villages sent daimyo or ministers.

These representatives from various countries were attending such an important meeting for the first time and inevitably felt a little overwhelmed. However, as important figures in their respective countries, they knew that they could not lose their composure in such a big occasion, and they all looked tense and serious.

Ohnoki felt better after seeing this.

It's good to be serious. It means that these people really take the alliance seriously, and it also shows that their Earth Kingdom still has some deterrent power.

As Ohnoki looked at the crowd, they were also observing the other representatives, trying to find clues from their words and actions in order to better understand the direction of the meeting and possible strategies.

At this time, the Fourth Raikage turned his gaze to Tsunade, "Then I'll leave it to you."

This alliance was initiated by the Fire Nation, so naturally it should be led by the Fire Nation.

If it weren't for various reasons, this meeting should have been held in the Fire Kingdom instead of the Rain Kingdom.

Tsunade nodded, stood up and said the opening remarks she had prepared long ago: "Whether it is between countries or between ninja villages, there are always various conflicts and grievances. The purpose of this alliance is to regulate the relations between countries, reduce conflicts as much as possible, and avoid the occurrence of war."

"If war is unavoidable, we should at least try to prolong the intervals between wars, to make them hundreds or even thousands of years apart."

"We all have a responsibility to achieve peace, not only for ourselves but also for future generations. Through this conference, I hope to build a more solid framework for peace so that future generations can grow up without the shadow of war. We cannot let the tragedy of history repeat itself..."

Tsunade's long speech did not bore the participants, but instead made everyone start to think seriously.

Even if you are not serious in your heart, you should be serious on the surface.

The three major powers said they wanted peace and even held a Ninja World Conference with great fanfare for this purpose. They had no power to refuse.

Moreover, the alliance among the countries in the ninja world is beneficial to all parties.

Simply bringing together representatives of various countries to sit down and talk is a rare opportunity. It would be idiotic not to make full use of this opportunity to have an in-depth discussion on the peace policy after the alliance and seize the opportunity to express one's demands.

"...Here, I guarantee as the Lord of the Land of Fire that you may speak freely."

Tsunade gave a gentle smile.
