An angry growl sounded from behind Mei Terumi. Looking closely, dozens of figures could be seen standing in the dark forest behind her.

They were all wearing white masks and making similar hand seals.

Clearly, Kirigakure's caution in reclaiming the Three-Tails is self-evident.

"How dare you! Who do you think you are, to disrespect my master!"

"Is Kirigakure still in a barbaric era where no one is in charge?"

The quick-witted Lin'er immediately retorted.

How could an unknown person, whose name is unknown and who dares not show his face, be qualified to enter the hall when the leaders of both sides are having a conversation?

These words immediately caused the impatient Mist Anbu member who had spoken to feel a tightness in his chest. He wanted to say something more, but he stopped abruptly when the Mizukage turned his head to look at him. What he did then was to silently pour all his chakra energy into this special rain curtain.

If they continue to delay, the advantage will undoubtedly belong to Kirigakure!

"Please forgive my subordinate's offense, Lord Demon Shadow."

"As you are aware, a series of terrible things have happened in the Land of Water in recent years, which has put the entire Hidden Mist Village in a rather sensitive state, which is why my subordinates spoke so frankly."

If possible, Mei Terumi naturally didn't want to have a direct confrontation with the scourge that had turned Konoha upside down at this time.

She was also well aware that Konoha's initiative to contact her was intended to use her to suppress the Demon Village, and even to the point of creating enmity.

However, knowing full well that there are tigers in the mountains, he still had no choice but to head towards them.

"However, although my subordinates' words and actions were somewhat radical, their reasoning was sound despite its roughness."

"The Three-Tails, Isobu, is originally a tailed beast of our Hidden Mist Village. We hope that Lord Youkage will return it to us."

She looked again at the young leader in her field of vision, her words gradually becoming more solemn and sincere.

Because he had taken a liking to someone, a person wearing a black cloak with red clouds.

At this moment, that guy was clearly in a coma under the control of the Demon Hidden Village.

The black trench coat adorned with red clouds is an unquenchable aversion for every loyal Hidden Mist ninja!

This indicates that Akatsuki hunters had already arrived and intended to hunt the Three-Tails before their own side arrived, but they were defeated by that person.

Gazing at the ruins in the distance, Mei Terumi's heart grew heavier.

Even with this rain curtain as the main battlefield, and even though the opponent had already experienced a fierce battle, she still wasn't entirely confident in defeating that junior who was clearly younger than her.

【young.........】

No, I'm still young, it's still early, still very early!

Suddenly, Mei Terumi's mood became even heavier.

"Is the Three-Tails a tailed beast from Kirigakure?"

"Lord Mizukage, are you mistaken about something? When did the Tailed Beasts become the private property of Kirigakure?"

"Does it bear a mark related to Kirigakure?"

"If not, then please leave."

"If so, please show it to me so I can change it to the symbol of the Hidden Demon Village."

Huang responded with a cold and forceful attitude.

The attitude they displayed was one of utter disdain for Kirigakure's unauthorized claim of the Three-Tails as their property.

This strong response has undoubtedly further angered the Fog Shadow faction.

Even the usually composed Fifth Mizukage showed clear anger:

"The Three-Tails, Isobu, and the Six-Tails, Saiken, were assigned to Kirigakure by the First Hokage when the five great ninja villages were discussing peaceful coexistence."

"I thought that a ninja from the prestigious Uchiha clan, especially you as the head of the clan, would remember this invaluable history."

Mei Terumi tried her best to remain calm and not fall into the trap set by Konoha.

But this composure will eventually run out!

At this moment, she found it difficult to control herself.

"Um,"

"So, is the ninja world at peace now?"

"So, did the Tailed Beasts become symbols of peace, or tools of war?"

"Lord Mizukage, is your purpose in coming here to bring back a mascot that can bring peace to the world, or to tame it into a weapon of the Mist Shadow?"

Huang snorted and asked in return.

The Tailed Beasts were powers distributed by Hashirama Senju to balance the various factions and for the sake of his ideal of peace.

However, the world did not achieve peace as a result!

Leaving aside World War II and World War III, even small-scale conflicts continued unabated.

This question immediately stunned Terumi Mei, who suddenly realized that she had no reason to refute the other person's words.

After all, it was they who first brought up the meaning represented by the tailed beasts.

but,

Before the Fifth Mizukage could find some arguments to convince the other party, such as that after the distribution of the Tailed Beasts, all parties enjoyed a period of peace, and that the changes were due to the machinations of villains like the Akatsuki.

The cold, indifferent conclusion that reached his ears completely shattered his hopes of bringing peace back to Isogai.

"Since the world has not gained peace as a result, does the Three-Tails still have any reason to return to the Land of Water with you?"

"And the tailed beasts assigned by the First Hokage?"

"Heh, what do the rules set by the Senju clan have to do with my Uchiha clan?"

This means that the negotiations have completely broken down.

Chapter 667 Sudden Incident: Siren Invasion! Only Seven Minutes Left in the Battle!!

Uchiha Ara's cold response made Terumi Mei suddenly realize that she had made a huge mistake:

That is, they underestimated the young leader, whom the busybodies hailed as the first generation of the Demon Hidden One.

Of course, this doesn't mean that she placed Ara at a low level of negotiation from the start. In fact, she held a very cautious attitude towards Uchiha Ara and even the Uchiha clan.

After all, for a long time in the past, the most troublesome enemy of Kirigakure was the Uchiha clan!

Therefore, Mei Terumi highly recognized the former's strength, but she did not expect that the other party's mentality was also so firm and strong.

They not only possess the pride and arrogance of the Uchiha clan, but also have a deep understanding and conviction about things.

Thinking about it carefully, this is, after all, a dangerous entity that has turned its homeland upside down. How could it possibly make a concession just because of a single allocation of resources by the first generation?

In this first round of the game, I lost.

However, the next battle...

Mei Terumi lowered her eyelids slightly, and an undisguised solemnity appeared in her eyes.

Since discussion is futile, only two options remain: negotiation and war.

As for the negotiations, what kind of items could the impoverished Kirigakure, currently in dire need of reconstruction, possibly offer in exchange for the Three-Tails?

alone?

If they were truly worth that much in the other party's eyes, then the Demon Hidden Sect wouldn't have so ruthlessly and decisively refused to return the Ninja Swordsmen to their former allies.

Therefore, there is only one remaining option: to forcibly change the will of the demon through force.

This is not the Land of Hot Springs, the territory where demons hide. Uchiha Ara did not come alone and unarmed. His subordinates would make him somewhat cautious. As long as the Konoha ninjas on the other side can provide some assistance.

Therefore, it is not impossible to defeat this emerging force here!

Moreover, she really couldn't believe that Konoha would only have three people present when dealing with such an important matter as the Three-Tails and the Demon's Den!

There must be more ninjas hiding on the outskirts, or on their way to provide support.

Mei Terumi's silence did neither resolve the issue surrounding the ownership of the Three-Tails nor ease the tension caused by the conversation between the two leaders.

On the contrary, a growing sense of urgency that a major battle is imminent is intensifying.

"Oh, right, Kakashi-kun."

"Were you speaking on behalf of Konoha just now?"

Huang turned to the side and asked in return.

"It's about your attitude towards Sasuke, as you mentioned."

As if worried that the other party might not understand what he was saying, he added another sentence.

This rhetorical question left Kakashi Hatake speechless for a moment.

Before us, the former leader, now revered by the outside world as a demonic figure, is naturally qualified to represent the will of a ninja village.

But could I really drag the entire village to the opposite side of the Demon Village just for the sake of a subordinate who chose to defect from the ninja village?

Even if irreconcilable conflicts have accumulated between the two!

The silence of the teacher in charge immediately made Sakura Haruno's face turn ugly. She wanted to say something, to say something boastful like Konoha would definitely protect every ninja.

However, when she realized that she had dragged Shizune into this dangerous predicament, she bit her lower lip in extreme resentment, but also forcibly suppressed her inner willfulness and worry for Sasuke.

After all, this matter is no longer just about her safety alone.

"It seems you can't represent us."

"Then, regarding Sasuke, you should first ask Tsunade for permission before you threaten me."

Seeing the helplessness in Kakashi's eyes, Ara spoke without any regard for their past relationship.

Now that Sasuke has severed ties with Konoha, there's no need for him to worry about anything anymore.

Being able to lure out the family's enemies with an insignificant fellow is undoubtedly a profitable deal.

"Oh, right."

"You say your eyes are a keepsake entrusted to you by an old friend. But do you truly understand what kind of person that old friend was?"

"Do you also know why the Nine-Tails suddenly attacked Konoha more than ten years ago?"
