Chapter 66 Past History

The lights in the conference room dimmed again, and the only headlight turned on, illuminating the U-shaped conference table below.

Seeing that the situation had stabilized again, Mifune said, "Let's continue the discussion."

Without waiting for the Hokage Tsunade to speak, the Raikage Ai spoke first, his eyes circling the other four Kages in the field, and he named them one by one: "Konoha, Iwa, Sand, and Kiri, Akatsuki was formed by the rebellious ninjas in your village. Not only that, I also found out that some of you, including the previous village, have used Akatsuki!"

Gaara asked in surprise, "Used?"

The Raikage glanced at Gaara with a look of "You know what I mean" and continued, "I don't trust you, and I don't want to negotiate with you, but the reason why I summoned the Five Kage here is to hold you accountable!!!"

Facing the accusation of the Raikage Ai, Gaara continued to ask the previous question: "What is the matter with having been used before?"

Raikage Ai said in a teasing tone: "As the Kazekage, you weren't told? Go ask the old guy in your village!"

As he spoke, the Raikage Ai became emotional again, pointing his finger at Gaara and asking him, "You used Akatsuki in the war before!"

Seeing that the Raikage was talking about the past, and Gaara didn't understand, Ohnoki became interested, leaned back in his chair, looked at Gaara and said in a deep voice: "Now the big countries have settled down, and have shifted from arms expansion to arms reduction. Because the tension between the countries has eased, there is no threat of war;

For the country, a ninja village with military power would become a heavy financial burden. However, there are certain risks in reducing the size of a ninja village at will. Once a war breaks out, it would be a problem to rely solely on a ninja village with no actual combat experience. In that case, the country would be defeated!"

After listening to this, Gaara said thoughtfully: "One way to avoid risks is to hire the combat mercenary group Akatsuki!"

Ohnoki snorted coldly, thinking to himself: You only know it now, young man! There are still many things you don't know!

Seeing that Gaara was silent, Ohnoki continued: "It takes a lot of time and money to train excellent ninjas in your own village. Akatsuki, who makes a living from war, is a first-line expert group. They can let them take on wars at a low price, and it can also bring the most satisfactory results!!!"

At this point, Ohnoki even revealed a smug smile.

Seeing this, Raikage Ai scolded, "Stop saying nice things, Tsuchikage!"

Oonoki snorted coldly and said nothing more.

The Raikage glanced at Gaara, then looked at Tsunade and said, "The Sunagakure used Akatsuki to destroy Konoha, and that was Orochimaru. At that time, it was not certain whether he had left Akatsuki, but because of him, the Fourth Kazekage and the Third Hokage Hiruzen both lost their lives!

Moreover, regarding this matter, according to the intelligence we have gathered from Kumogakure, it was Orochimaru who planned it on the surface, but secretly, there may be a traitor inside your Konoha, who is plotting behind the scenes!"

Tsunade frowned when she heard that.

Tsunade actually already had some guesses in her heart about the traitor that Raikage Ai mentioned, because after the Third Hokage passed away, the one who jumped the most joyfully was Danzo!

If Jiraiya and Shikaku had not jointly recommended him, and if the Daimyo of the Land of Fire did not like Danzo very much and was more inclined to himself, the position of the Fifth Hokage might have been his under Danzo's manipulation!

The Raikage Ai continued to speak, this time looking at the Mizukage Terumi Mei and said, "The most suspicious one is Kirigakure. Kirigakure doesn't engage in diplomacy. Rumor has it that you are the birthplace of Akatsuki!!!"

Terumi Mei, who was being accused, had a face full of hidden secrets. Then, she sighed, looked up at everyone and said, "If that's the case, then I'll tell the truth."

Behind the curtain of water shadow characters, Qing opened his mouth slightly in surprise, thinking in his heart: Could it be that the fifth generation water shadow master wants to tell that matter to...

Mei Terumi said with a dim look in her eyes: "The previous one, the fourth Mizukage Yagura, we suspect he was controlled by someone, most likely Akatsuki!"

At this point, Terumi Mei's expression was very painful and she said, "So, we don't want to make a big deal."

When Lei Ying Ai heard this answer, he said disdainfully: "They are all the same kind of people!"

Ohnoki couldn't stand it anymore. The other person has already revealed his scars, and you are still talking like this.

"Watch your words, Raikage!"

Looking at the Raikage Ai, Ohnoki continued to ask: "Speaking of which, in this era of arms reduction, it's all your fault for seeking power and collecting ninjutsu at all costs. In order to compete, we have no choice but to hire Akatsuki!"

After hearing what Ohnoki said, Raikage Ai stood up excitedly and said, "What did you say!!!"

Ōnoki was not afraid of the Raikage at all and snorted coldly, saying, "I don't care about the Raikage."

He has lived for so many years and has seen all kinds of people and all kinds of scenes.

Tsunade watched the meeting go on and everyone was blaming each other, so she said, "I think we shouldn't talk from our own standpoints, but should return to the problem itself. So far, Akatsuki has caused serious damage to various ninja villages, so can we consider cooperating to jointly eliminate this existence that threatens the stability of the ninja world!"

When Raikage Ai saw Tsunade say this, he immediately said unhappily: "Humph, Master Tsunade said to destroy him, right? Among the Akatsuki, there is Sasuke, the traitor ninja that you have never pursued. I wonder how Master Hokage is going to destroy him!!!"

Seeing Tsunade silent, the Raikage Ai said angrily: "My brother Killer Bee was captured by Sasuke! I tell you, Naruto! Sasuke must die! If you Konoha doesn't kill him, I, Kumogakure, will come to help you clean up the mess!"

Seeing that the Raikage was about to start accusing and quarreling again, Mifune coughed and said:

"As a neutral country, I have to say that the leader of Akatsuki is very calculating. He took advantage of the suspicion hidden under the surface of stability in various countries to quickly expand his strength and caused irreparable damage to all major ninja villages!"

After saying that, Mifune looked at everyone and said, "It is a rare opportunity for the five Kage to gather together. How about we put aside our own prejudices and form an unprecedented ninja coalition of the five major ninja villages to jointly eliminate the hidden dangers of this ninja world."
