In Naruto, you can become a god through gacha pulls.

The seated people were immediately taken aback. At this moment, hope, who was standing behind the Raikage, was also shocked. He was astonished that the Raikage had actually informed everyone of this news.

In fact, hope was very afraid that other countries would take advantage of the Land of Lightning's weakness to attack it.

After all, the hunter Azure was kidnapped, the Eight-Tails Killer Bee was captured, and Darui disappeared without a trace, probably already dead. The entire Land of Lightning lost a large amount of fighting power in a short period of time.

“Indeed.” The Fifth Mizukage, Mei Terumi, interlaced her fingers and pursed her red lips. “He also killed the former Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi, and took in many rogue ninjas, forming ‘Kagekage.’ Now he has mastered the two great Sage Techniques of Ryuchi Cave and Mount Myōboku… Such a threat cannot be ignored.”

Mei Terumi revealed the cause of death of the former Mizukage of the Land of Water to everyone, which immediately caused a great uproar.

"You mean... even Yagura was killed by Yoriichi?" Jiraiya was shocked, and a look of astonishment appeared in the eyes of everyone present.

Previously, when the new Kage of the Land of Water succeeded to the throne, the cause of the death of the previous Kage, Yagura, was not disclosed.

He even became a mystery in the ninja world—a Kage with the ability to control tailed beasts was unexpectedly and secretly assassinated! This was an extremely shocking event in the ninja world.

In this light, things seem to be gradually becoming clearer.

"Lord Mizukage..." A bead of sweat appeared on the blue face of the person standing to the side. He hadn't expected that Mei Terumi would tell everyone about this matter directly this time.

However, given the current situation, this can indirectly inspire people to unite.

The new Fifth Mizukage, Lord Hossou, did not come. It is said that he had some other business to attend to and did not have time to come here.

The fact that the new Kage directly appointed him and Mei Terumi to discuss the matter largely reflects his trust in the two of them.

"It seems the problem and the objective are quite clear now." The Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, spoke in a deep voice, his emerald eyes sweeping over the crowd. "It seems it can only be a Tailed Beast!"

"After all, the Fourth Mizukage and Killer Bee, whom he captured, were both representatives of the Tailed Beasts."

"Bang!" Raikage slammed his fist on the table. "That's right! We must bring him to justice immediately." Raikage appeared extremely angry. The people sitting around had gradually become familiar with his behavior and didn't say anything.

“Rasa, your son is also a Tailed Beast, isn’t he?” The Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, suddenly spoke up.

“That’s right, that’s why I insisted on attending this meeting in person.” Luo Sha did not hide his purpose.

Even Maki, whose face was wrapped in bandages, sighed.

"Is it because of his obsession with protecting his family?" The Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, crossed his arms, his eyes serious, as if he had thought of something. "It seems that Deidara, who has the Explosion Release bloodline limit in my family, was also taken away by him."

"Hey, your little grandson has already joined Akatsuki," Raikage suddenly said softly.

Onoki burst out laughing. "How did you know he's my grandson?"

"Since you care so much, why would there be so many entanglements involved if he's just a disciple?" Lei Ying countered. "If I didn't know this inside information, why would I use him to make a deal with you?"

"However, the consequences and costs of this transaction were also very high..."

Onoki chuckled. "What you said is correct, but also wrong."

"Deidara is indeed my grandson and apprentice, but I adopted him as my grandson. He has an exceptionally strong talent for ninjutsu, which surprised even me."

"It's best not to use it as an excuse, old lady." Mei Terumi smiled charmingly.

"Whether you believe it or not is up to you." Onoki didn't argue, looking at everyone with a serious expression.

“Since you all have ties to your families, let’s unite and take down Uchiha Yoriichi together,” Jiraiya suddenly said.

He quickly identified the commonalities among them, which resonated with everyone.

Deidara and the Tsuchikage are family, the Raikage and Killer Bee are family, and Rasa and his son Gaara are family. It seems that the purpose of the three of them coming to participate in this battle is to fight for their families.

The group nodded.

"It seems that everyone has no objection to the matter of punishing Yoriichi. As far as Konoha is concerned, his crimes are even more heinous!" Jiraiya said hoarsely.

"They poached the Root organization, took away half of Konoha's fighting force, and joined forces with the rogue ninja Orochimaru to make the decision to defect on the night of the night, causing Konoha to suffer huge financial losses, and maliciously provoking conflict between Konoha and Hyuga..." Jiraiya paused slightly as he said this.

This matter shouldn't be brought up, since the Hyuga clan sought refuge in the Land of Lightning, and the current Raikage is right beside him. Bringing it up could significantly impact the unity of the Allied Forces.

"It's alright, it won't bother you!" Lei Ying Ai seemed quite forthright and generous.

“I’ve never really cared about these kinds of things.”

Upon hearing this, Jiraiya let out a slight sigh of relief. "Then, I will continue listing the evidence of Yoriichi's crimes."

"After that, he and his subordinates broke into the prison, took away the rogue ninja Zabuza, and killed a group of Konoha ninjas. After that, he plundered one of the legendary Sannin of Konoha, Tsunade's beloved disciple Ryou, who was also my colleague. Then he assisted Akatsuki, instructing his subordinates to stop my pursuit of the Hyuga clan and followed everyone to the Land of Lightning to capture the Eight-Tails."

"When I went to Yin Yin Village to investigate later, they almost killed me and followed me to Mount Myōboku, where they plundered the Sage Chakra!"

"Alright, that's enough," Raikage growled. "Assemble the allied forces! Assemble the allied forces!" Raikage grew anxious.

"I refuse to believe that the five great ninja villages, working together, can't even conquer a newly established small village?"

“He’s not simple either.” Onoki shook his head. “Don’t forget, he also has a group of rogue ninjas with considerable strength under his command. With the added boost from Sage Mode, our losses will probably be significant.”

“If we don’t do this, the losses in the future will be even greater,” Mei Terumi said, raising an eyebrow.

"So, the Land of Water also intends to join the war?" Jiraiya looked at Mei Terumi.

"Of course, the crime of killing the Mizukage alone was enough to classify him as an extremely evil person and warrant his execution."

“Very good.” Onoki narrowed his eyes. “In that case, we can discuss the matter of the allied forces.”

"First, send an elite team infiltrate to gather intelligence. Then, the Five Kage will personally oversee the operation. Once an opportunity arises, we will strike with full force!"

“I agree.” Luo Sha nodded. “This operation should be as swift as possible to prevent the enemy from launching a surprise attack on our rear.”

Luo Sha continued speaking:

"It is said that there is a special technique in Konoha that allows generals stationed in the rear to directly command ninjas on the front lines?"

“Yes, that is one of the special secret techniques of our Konoha clan,” Jiraiya said.

"In addition, we also possess a special technique that rivals the Flying Thunder God Technique in its utility. When four people embrace, it can instantly teleport us from the rear to the front lines of the enemy."

"Looking at it this way, it really is quite practical." Mei Terumi smiled.

"Then it's settled." Raikage Ai stood up, his gaze sharp, and immediately proposed, "Three days from now, the Five Kage Alliance will assemble, target—Kagehidden Village! What do you think?"

"This time, we must completely eradicate 'Shadow' Uchiha Yoriichi!"

The wind and snow howled, and the shadows of the five Kage stretched long in the firelight. The dark clouds of war had already enveloped the ninja world.

Chapter 168 Multiple Choice Questions

The five acting shadows walked out of the gates of the Land of Iron. They had already discussed the battle plan internally, and the next step was to deploy their troops.

Jiraiya stood in the center, contemplating Konoha's troop deployment plan. He himself would naturally be going to Kagehime Village as the leader, and Tsunade would definitely go as well. She was very worried about her little apprentice, the girl named Ryougi.

Tsunade coming along isn't a particularly big problem. In Konoha, there's still the Third Hokage and their teacher, Hiruzen Sarutobi, still alive, so it seems there won't be any major issues.

With the five great nations deploying their elite forces, the only one that can threaten the remaining forces of Konoha is probably the Hidden Shadow Village, so there's not much to worry about regarding those left behind.

If Yinyin Village wants to launch a surprise attack on the rear, it will inevitably divide its own strength. With no way out, they will surely be defeated in the war!

Jiraiya was confident that although Uchiha Yoriichi was incredibly strong, he naturally had weaknesses like the Hidden Shadow Village. By exploiting these weaknesses, he could completely destroy Yoriichi's power.

Destroy everything that he had painstakingly accumulated!

At that time, no matter how strong Yoriichi Uchiha was, he would not be able to withstand the combined attack of the five great nations.

Thinking of this, Jiraiya suddenly smiled slightly.

That said, this is probably the first time the five major powers have cooperated to jointly oppose a country that does not belong to any of the five major powers.

The last time such a powerful and all-encompassing ninja appeared was Hashirama Senju.

Hashirama Senju was incredibly powerful, and at that time, all nations were intimidated. However, Hashirama, who loved peace, ultimately chose to live in peace with all nations. Instead of destroying them, he distributed the tailed beasts of the Sage of Six Paths to each nation, gradually making the strength of each nation equal.

This helped to curb the war to some extent, and they did unite at that time, but it wasn't true unity; at least their goals were different.

Hashirama Senju of Konoha worked for peace among the nations, while other nations were forced to cease their wars, even though this greatly benefited their people and development.

But ultimately, they were forced into it. After Hashirama's death, the Land of Lightning immediately launched a war against Konoha.

At that time, the Second Shinobi World War still began...

Jiraiya sighed softly, but he never expected that today, because of Yoriichi, the five great nations would truly unite together.

Just then, Jiraiya gradually walked towards Mei Terumi, who was standing to the side, and asked, "Would you like your Kage to come on this mission?"

“He won’t come.” Mei Terumi’s pupils were clear and bright; she seemed quite confident.

"He was stationed within the territory of the Land of Water during this operation..." Mei Terumi replied.

Jiraiya fell silent. "The prophet Fang Zun is very strong. If it weren't for him, we might have a high probability of losing to Uchiha Yoriichi this time."

Jiraiya has made it very clear that Fangzun's precognitive abilities are extremely important in his eyes, and that Fangzun will be a major factor in winning the war.

“It’s no use talking to me.” Mei Terumi turned around. “Fang Zun’s own decision is that he will not participate in this war.”

"The prophetic plan he provided for Konoha and Kirigakure to attack during the internal strife in Kagemitsu has ultimately failed."

“It seems that Fang Zun cannot fathom Yoriichi’s future fate,” Mei Terumi said.

"His command in this operation may not necessarily lead us to victory."

"Alright." Jiraiya didn't insist. After all, Konoha had decided to leave the Third Hokage in the village to look after things, so it was actually normal for leaders from other countries not to want to come.

In particular, he did understand that Fang Zun's prophecy seemed to be less accurate in relation to Yoriichi. Otherwise, why would he have allowed Uchiha Yoriichi to kill the previous Mizukage?

Of course, it's also possible that they couldn't win, but a more important point is reflected in Orochimaru's previous plan to betray Orochimaru.

Although Orochimaru ultimately betrayed them, the scenario that Fang Zun predicted—that Yoriichi would be killed and the village of Yin-Yang would descend into chaos—never materialized.

Jiraiya initially intended to investigate, but instead he ran into Yoriichi Uchiha.

Moreover, after returning to Konoha, he learned that during the time he was infiltrating the Hidden Shadows Village, Uchiha Yoriichi had also managed to clear the Land of Lightning dungeon.

He defeated the Raikage, killed Darui, the man known as the Raikage's right-hand man, kidnapped the Tailed Beasts, and took away the Hunter of Lightning, Azure.

Although none of this was Yoriichi's doing, how could Deidara, Kisame Hoshigaki, and Itachi Uchiha, the Konoha rogue ninja, possibly have beaten their opponent to this extent?

So the problem lies with Yoriichi. He overcame the pressure and defeated most of the people.

That's roughly how I understand it...

Jiraiya pondered deeply, "Besides, my infiltration once successfully tested and found that Uchiha Yoriichi indeed possesses such abilities."

His abilities, bloodline, and talent were simply too strong; there are probably very few people in the entire ninja world who can surpass Yoriichi.

"Sigh..." Jiraiya sighed softly, dispelling his doubts about Fang Zun's decision as he left.

Meanwhile, in the Land of Water, Kirigakure...

Fang Zun was lying on the bed, looking like he was struggling and in pain, his feelings were extremely complicated.
