If Akira Hatake, Minato Namikaze, and Kakashi can defeat the Jinchuriki of each country once, then they can defeat them countless times in the future!

Although Onoki wasn't being unreasonable, his words still implied that he was only considering the interests of the Land of Earth and hadn't taken the Land of Wind into account at all.

Of course, this is only natural, but the two people have different positions, so their starting points for considering the issues are naturally different as well.

Unless Rasa has gone mad, he wouldn't risk the lives of the ninjas of the Land of Wind to fight for favorable terms for peace talks for the Land of Earth.

Since the Jinchūriki who fell into the hands of the Land of Fire were not from the Land of Wind, the Land of Fire naturally did not have a share when returning the Tailed Beasts.

Luo Sha never does anything that's thankless and difficult!

"Luo Sha, don't forget we're in an alliance now!"

Onoki looked displeased. If the Land of Wind didn't help, the Land of Earth alone wouldn't be able to defeat the Land of Fire, which was currently at the height of its military power.

Since they are no match for the enemy, it is even more impossible to win a local war. Therefore, it will be difficult to get back the two Jinchuriki who have fallen into the hands of the Land of Fire.

(Onoki was unaware of Han's death, the Five-Tails Jinchuriki.)

“I don’t mean to break the alliance; I mean we can find other ways to make up for it.”

"What method?!" Onoki raised an eyebrow.

“Besides the five great nations, aren’t there two tailed beasts scattered throughout the ninja world?” Rasa’s expression turned slightly cold. “Although we can’t do anything to the Land of Fire, we can capture the Seven-Tails in Takigakure and the wild Six-Tails.”

"Besides capturing the remaining two tailed beasts and distributing them equally, some of the surrounding small countries are also excellent targets for annexation, for example..."

Luo Sha tapped his fingers on the table and pointed to the drizzling rain outside the window. "At a time like this, it doesn't matter if they sacrifice themselves a little."

"You mean..." Onoki's eyes lit up, "Okay, we'll do it your way!"

"However, the Seven-Tails must belong to our Land of Earth, since our Land of Earth suffered the most damage in this war."

"Sure, but I need to see your sincerity."

After considering it for a while, Rasa decisively nodded in agreement to Onoki's proposal and waited for an opportunity to ask for benefits.

The Land of Wind is the weakest of the five great nations in terms of overall national strength. As the Third Shinobi World War progressed to this stage, all Rasa could think about was how to make up for the losses the Land of Wind had suffered.

While the Seven-Tails certainly helps to enhance the military strength of the Land of Wind, it is far less practical than real money.

Rasa knew very well that the place where Shukaku would be resurrected after its death was still within the Land of Wind. As long as he waited patiently for more than ten years, the Land of Wind would regain its tailed beast.

Since the future is already a fait accompli, demanding present benefits becomes the first thing to do.

“This…” Onoki thought for a moment, “After defeating the Land of Waterfall, your Land of Wind can take 70% of the profits obtained from them!”

“That’s the Seven-Tails, the Tsuchikage.” Rasa shook his head. “I can offer a divine artifact that can extract and seal the tailed beast, but I want all the profits after crushing the Land of Waterfall.”

"Rasa, you'd better not ask for too much!" Onoki was both shocked and furious. "Even without allying with your Land of Wind, we can still take down the Land of Waterfall!"

"That's true, but after annexing Takigakure, what do you plan to do with this place?"

Luo Sha looked up at the window, his meaning clear: "Although Hanzo the Salamander is old, he is still very powerful. This will be a tough nut to crack."

"This..." Onoki weighed the pros and cons, and after a long while, he finally spoke, "Even so, you can only take 80% of the profits from Takigakure!"

"make a deal!"

Seeing that he had the upper hand, Rasa immediately finalized the plan to divide up the land of Taki.

Then, Luo Sha spoke up again, "How about we split this place 50/50?"

“Naturally, it’s a 50/50 split.” Onoki didn’t dwell on the matter and then steered the conversation back to the wild Vulpix.

"We in the Land of Earth have no information about wild Six-Tails, but based on Six-Tails' habits, it is very likely that it lives in the Land of Water, or in some humid areas near the Land of Water."

"Thank you for your trouble, Tsuchikage. We do not intend to capture the Six-Tails."

Rasa shook his head. "Our Land of Wind has no plans to antagonize the Land of Water for the time being. Moreover, the two countries are far apart, and we do not have the resources to capture the Six-Tails right now."

"In that case... let's finalize the specific battle plan next."

"Right on my mind."

……

Leaving aside the conspiracy between Kazekage Rasa and Tsuchikage Onoki, Minato Namikaze, who was on the northwestern defense line of Konoha, was already preparing to leave.

"Have a safe journey, teacher!"

Just before Minato Namikaze was about to leave, Akira Hatake smiled and waved to him, handing him a sealing scroll.

"This is... a congratulatory gift?"

Minato Namikaze smiled, his eyes crinkling, and took the scroll, examining it with great curiosity.

“I guess so…” Akira scratched his head, “but strictly speaking, this is our spoils of war.”

"Is he a Jinchūriki from Iwagakure?"

Minato Namikaze guessed right away, and Akira Hatake nodded repeatedly upon seeing this, "It is indeed the Four-Tails Jinchuriki of Iwagakure, but it's still a bit of a pity..."

"You killed Han, the Five-Tails Jinchuriki?" Minato Namikaze raised an eyebrow.

"Yes, I didn't have a chance to say that before." Akira Hatake still looked regretful. "If he were a little more resilient, then Konoha would have four Jinchuriki in the future!"

"..."

Minato Namikaze was somewhat speechless. If he remembered correctly, there were already as many as five Jinchuriki who had died directly or indirectly at the hands of Akira Hatake.

Keep in mind that there are only nine tailed beasts in total, and Akira Hatake has already fought against more than half of them and defeated them all.

This was a terrifying record, leaving Minato Namikaze with mixed feelings.

Although Konoha is about to become the era of Minato Namikaze, it is certain that the future of Konoha will belong to Akira Hatake.

Even if Akira Hatake wanted to become the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze felt he couldn't compete with him...

His mind raced, but a moment later Minato Namikaze smiled. No matter how outstanding Akira Hatake was, he was still his disciple.

"Alright, Ming, don't be disappointed. I think we'll have another chance in the future."

He reached out and patted Akira Hatake on the shoulder. "I'm leaving, Akira. This place is in your hands now..."

"Don't worry, teacher, go and take up the post of Fourth Hokage with peace of mind!"

With a warm smile, Minato Namikaze waved to Akira Hatake, then transformed into a yellow flash and disappeared before Akira's eyes.

"The most solid step has finally been taken..."

Akira Hatake let out a sigh of relief, "The rest we just need to proceed step by step..."

"However, Obito, that love-struck fool... has become a bit troublesome."

"Fortunately, I already have a solution, otherwise Obito Uchiha with both Mangekyou Sharingan would be quite a headache."

After muttering a few words to himself, Akira Hatake suddenly activated the Flying Thunder God Technique, traversing the entire Land of Fire and rushing from the northwestern border to the southeastern border.

Chapter 224 Kakashi and Mei Terumi.

After the battle in the Land of Water ends, the Land of Fire can then focus its war efforts on the Land of Wind and Earth.

Therefore, Orochimaru's forces needed to be moved to the northwestern border of the Land of Fire.

However, because of Akira Hatake's presence, Orochimaru's forces did not need to undertake a long journey this time.

Sa!

With a soft sound, the silver flash disappeared, and Akira Hatake appeared beside Kakashi.

"elder brother!"

Kakashi exclaimed in surprise, immediately standing up and greeting him with a smile, "I thought it would be a long time before we saw each other again... I didn't expect that we would meet again after only a few days..."

"What, do you feel like we've been apart for a while?"

"Yes." Kakashi nodded vigorously. "If there hadn't been a war... we would probably be either on a mission or training in the village right now."

"bright!"

Just as Akira Hatake was catching up with Kakashi, Might Guy ran over and exclaimed, "Youth has never forgotten anyone! We've finally reunited!"

"It's Kai..."

Akira Hatake was still somewhat afraid of Might Guy, mainly because Might Guy's stubborn nature was a bit of a pain.

However, after not seeing each other for a long time, Akira Hatake also missed Might Guy quite a bit.

"You've grown taller, and you've gotten quite a bit stronger too." Akira Hatake patted Might Guy on the shoulder, not mentioning Might Guy. "It seems your strength has improved by leaps and bounds as well!"

"Of course!"

Matt Kay gave a thumbs-up, making his signature gesture, "My youth doesn't allow me to slack off in the slightest; progress follows me every day."

"Ming, to witness my efforts and progress over this period, please accept our third duel!"

Got it!

Akira Hatake knew it would turn out like this...

Might Guy's every sentence is detrimental to youth, and he mentions dueling in every other sentence.

Kakashi was somewhat helpless about this.

After the war in the Land of Water came to an end, Might Guy frequently challenged Kakashi to duels, much to Kakashi's annoyance.

Although Kakashi can use some unconventional methods to avoid a direct confrontation with Might Guy, given Might Guy's stubborn nature, Kakashi will ultimately not escape the fate of having to fight him head-on.

"Next time, next time, Kai."

Akira Hatake quickly waved his hand, "I'm here on a mission, and it's very urgent."

"I see..." Might Guy scratched his head and stopped pestering him. "Then I'll definitely do it next time."

"Next time definitely!"

Akira Hatake nodded, then led Kakashi away as if fleeing.

After getting rid of Might Guy, Akira Hatake and the Kakashi brothers started walking and talking again.

However, the conversation veered off course, and Kakashi's smile became somewhat mischievous, with a touch of the playfulness unique to his age.

"Brother... let me tell you... Kai's looks like an acorn!"

"Acorn?"
