But soon, when he saw everyone who hadn't done anything looking at him, he stopped and muttered to himself, puzzled:
"Doesn't the Hokage always receive enthusiastic applause before giving a speech?"
After the brief interlude, the Five Shadows Conference got straight to the point.
Without the procrastination of the nobles and officials, the initiator, the Fourth Raikage A, unhesitatingly raised his severed arm and stated directly:
"This was caused by Hagoromo Gengetsu. According to intelligence analysis, Hagoromo Gengetsu was not at his peak when he fought against the Cloud Ninja forces I led. Now that so much time has passed, he must have become even stronger. The presence of such a legendary ninja will undoubtedly have a huge impact on the current ninja world!"
"So, Raikage, what do you mean?" Mei Terumi looked at A.
Ai said in a deep voice, "Organize the Five Ninja Villages Alliance, just like in the time of the First Hokage, to eliminate Hagoromo Gengetsu, who does not belong to this era and does not belong to the Five Great Ninja Villages system."
"Organize a coalition? Just to deal with one person? Raikage, your proposal is outrageous." These words came from Chiyo, an elder of the Sand Village.
Although Gaara has become the Kazekage, he lacks political experience and his presence here is more of a mascot.
The one who truly made the decision was Chiyo, who had experienced all the Shinobi World Wars.
The Sand Village is currently facing a generational gap and immense economic pressure. If possible, the Sand Village would prefer to develop peacefully and gradually rather than engage in any large-scale disturbances.
Onoki then chimed in, "As far as I know, Hagoromo Gengetsu never mentioned starting a war or conquering the Five Great Nations after his resurrection. The ninja world is still at peace. It would be unwise to mobilize a large force and expend a lot of manpower and resources to deal with one person."
The so-called coalition is not as simple as just talking about it or sending a group of people out.
The manpower, material resources, financial resources, and even the various tasks that were reduced or abandoned as a result, all the preliminary preparations alone were enough to cause the five great ninja villages to bleed profusely.
Although he was aware of Yu Yi Xuan Yue's power, he didn't know the practicalities of daily life as someone who wasn't in charge of the household.
Forced by the realities of the situation, Onoki, as the head of Iwagakure, was not particularly fond of the Raikage's plan, which was to completely overturn the table and prevent them from plundering resources from the war as before.
After all, a war aimed at one person and a war aimed at an entire ninja village are two completely different things.
Using the latter's methods to deal with the former is a bit too presumptuous on the other side.
Mei Terumi means the same thing.
The Mist Ninja were happy to deal with Yu Yi Gengetsu.
However, they are unwilling to bear such a high cost if it requires expending a large amount of resources and mobilizing all available resources.
Ai's attitude remained firm: "An opponent like Yu Yi Xuan Yue requires our full strength if we're really going to fight; we can't afford to have any wishful thinking. As for the fact that Yu Yi Xuan Yue hasn't done anything yet..."
"Such a great figure from the Warring States period, how could his thoughts be so easy to guess? Putting aside what he might do to the Five Great Ninja Villages, just with his prestige, if he were to establish a new ninja village with a wave of his hand, we wouldn't be in a good position."
The ninja world may seem vast, but the pie has already been divided up.
Newly established ordinary ninja villages are fine, but if Hagoromo Gengetsu is added to them, the mission quotas and various economic incomes of the five major ninja villages will undoubtedly be greatly eroded.
This is absolutely unacceptable to them.
After all, the essence of the Ninja World War was the redistribution of the pie.
Although what Ai said at this moment was just his own guess, everyone present, except for the thick-skinned Naruto, began to ponder.
"If I remember correctly, the recent appearance of Hagoromo Gengetsu was because of Sasuke Uchiha's defection from Konoha, right?" Mei Terumi then looked at Tsunade, who had remained silent.
Tsunade glanced at Naruto beside her, who instinctively clenched his fists at the mention of "Sasuke," and nodded, saying, "That's right. After Uchiha Sasuke defected, he followed Hagoromo Gengetsu."
“That’s normal.” Onoki, the oldest person present, suddenly said with a smile, “The Hagoromo clan and the Uchiha clan used to be allies and have always maintained a good relationship. It’s normal for them to go to Hagoromo Gengetsu’s place if they’re not comfortable in Konoha.”
Although this Five Kage Summit was convened for Hagoromo Gengetsu, Onoki had not forgotten the threat posed by Konoha, the number one ninja village.
He saw reopening someone's wound as an easy thing to do.
In addition, there was an idea that Ohnoki didn't voice.
If it's feasible, perhaps we could contact Yu Yi Xuan Yue.
Just like the Akatsuki organization.
In some ways, Yu Yi Xuan Yue can also be a very powerful ally.
As for the conflict arising from the First Tsuchikage's involvement in the battle at Godfall Valley back then.
So much time has passed, and those people from back then have long since vanished.
Moreover, what conflicts can't be resolved between people like them?
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 102 This woman is beyond saving!
"The Hagoromo clan. The Uchiha clan. Allies? What are these things?"
Suddenly hearing new information about Sasuke, whom he had been talking about, and Hagoromo Gyoku, Naruto couldn't help but start thinking about it, his mind which had been idle for a long time.
Tsunade, standing to the side, had already clenched her fists.
Upon hearing Onoki's words implying that Konoha had been too harsh on Sasuke, which led to his betrayal, she, who never tolerated injustice, was about to slam her hand on the table and say something.
"Wait a moment, Hokage-sama."
The meeting's host, Mifune, called a halt to Tsunade's proceedings.
He wasn't worried that Tsunade would smash the desk in front of him with one blow, but rather that a samurai had just quickly come to his side and whispered something in his ear, which made his expression freeze.
"What's wrong?" After all, it was the host's venue, so Tsunade still gave Mifune some face.
Mifune looked at Tsunade and said, "A Konoha ninja just arrived here, claiming he has a very important letter to deliver to you, Hokage."
Upon hearing this, Tsunade and Shizune's expressions changed.
Only a few high-ranking officials from the five major ninja villages knew the location of the Five Kage Summit.
Knowing full well that the Hokage was currently attending the Five Kage Summit, Konoha still sent a ninja to deliver a message, which meant something they were very clear about.
"Something big has happened in Konoha?" The others present also realized this, and their eyes quickly flickered.
Without hesitation, Tsunade told Shizune and Naruto to stay there while she quickly left the venue, where she met the Konoha ninjas who had rushed over.
"Lord Hokage!" The newcomer immediately pulled out an encrypted letter.
After untying it, Tsunade quickly glanced at it, then her brows furrowed sharply.
As expected, something bad happened!
The Root base was destroyed, and Elder Shimura Danzo died; the Scroll of Seals was invaded; and a riot broke out in Konoha's heavy prison.
The latter two are fine.
The Book of Seals remains, and the prisoners in Konoha's heavy prison have not escaped.
The most significant impact was the complete annihilation of the roots.
Although she disliked Shimura Danzo for his extreme approach to things and was wary of Root, which was never under the Hokage's control, Tsunade was well aware that Root was not only a weapon that could harm her, but also an extremely sharp blade against others.
The best example is that after the Fourth Shinobi World War ended, all the ninja villages except Konoha strongly demanded that Konoha disband Root.
Now that Danzo is dead and the Root base has been destroyed, even if there are still some Root ninjas on missions outside, they are no longer of any use.
This means that a major military force supporting Konoha has been completely wiped out.
Furthermore, upon seeing the letter's ending, where the village revealed that the prime suspect in all of this was Hagoromo Gengetsu, Tsunade involuntarily clenched the letter, looked up again, and asked the arriving Konoha ninja:
"What is the current situation in Konoha?"
The Konoha ninja replied, "Under the instructions of the two elders, Konoha Village raised its alert level, and the enemy has not appeared again. Before I left, the situation in the village was stable."
Tsunade nodded: "You should go and rest first."
After saying that, Tsunade lingered outside for a short while before returning to the Five Kage Summit.
As soon as she sat down, Onoki asked curiously, "What happened, Tsunade?"
Upon hearing this, the others immediately turned to listen.
Tsunade did not hide anything.
Anyway, such a big thing will soon be known in other villages.
She stated bluntly, "The culprit behind the destruction of Konoha's roots is most likely Hagoromo Gengetsu."
moment!
It was as if a muffled thunderbolt struck the hearts of the four shadows and their guards.
Their first thought was, "Did the Hokage say something wrong?"
But when they saw Tsunade's calm face and her unwavering resolve, they realized that something truly terrible had happened.
In the time that followed, shock, panic, and even joy and excitement flashed through everyone's eyes.
What is the root?
The saying "If you can't control foreigners, you can control yourself" doesn't apply to the root cause.
On the contrary, the fundamental truth is that "you can control yourself, and you can also make foreigners scream in despair."
After all, if they're this ruthless to their own people, they'll be even more ruthless to outsiders.
Although they were shocked and wary of Yu Yi Xuan Yue's actions of killing off the Root organization when she did make a move.
However, the destruction of Root and the death of Danzo, the "Darkest Ninja," would have been met with applause and praise from everyone present, including the Sand Ninja who had re-allyed with Konoha, had the Hokage not been there.
Good riddance!!
Yu Yi Xuan Yue did a good job this time, resolving the issue of Konoha's sword that had been hanging over their heads.
If only we could do it to Konoha a few more times.
Some people couldn't help but think.
Therefore, when Tsunade decisively agreed to the Raikage's proposal and also put forward the plan of a five-village alliance, the reaction at the scene changed slightly.
The sun gradually moved from the east to the west.
Sakura and Ino, who hadn't gone to Konoha Hospital that day and had spent most of their time in the interrogation room, finally finished their interrogation and walked out safely.
One of them was a prospective Hokage disciple, and the other was the eldest daughter of the Yamanaka clan chief. Although they had had quite a few contacts with "Sousuke," the investigation revealed that they had only had medical and everyday conversations, so the Anbu naturally didn't make things too difficult for them.
Back in the sunlight, Sakura and Ino exchanged a glance, smiled bitterly, and saw the lingering shock, melancholy, and unspoken feelings on each other's faces.
After a long silence, Sakura finally couldn't help but speak up: "I never expected that Dr. Sosuke would be him?"
Previously, she had learned from the Anbu that Dr. Sosuke was very likely to be Hagoromo Gengetsu.
