Chapter 288: Targeting the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki? Sarutobi Hiruzen's table-lifting warning!

"We in the Fire Nation don't want to fight, but you guys forced us to fight. Now that we've been defeated, you're putting all the blame on Konoha. Do you really think our Konoha is easy to bully? It's just a war, right? Come on, we in Konoha will fight you to the end!"

The Third Hokage showed his toughness for once, and the people in power around him in front of the screens were all shocked by his fierce remarks.

In their impression, Sarutobi Hiruzen was a 'moderate conservative', but the current situation felt like 'an honest man being driven into a corner'.

"We are willing to help you deal with Uchiha Ryuun. It's fine if you are not grateful to us, but at least you should not shirk responsibility or complain, right?" The Daimyo of the Land of Fire spoke indifferently, personally standing up for his own Hokage.

In fact, if it weren't for the huge international pressure, the Daimyo of the Fire Country would not want to provoke Uchiha Ryuun at all.

"Let's just forget about this matter... We've lost, and it's useless to hold anyone responsible. We should discuss how to deal with Uchiha Ryuun next..." said the Fourth Raikage with a gloomy face.

At this time, he was in no mood to watch these guys fighting each other. His focus was always on how to kill Uchiha Liuyun.

Liuyun's last blow broke half of his ribs. His chest was now wrapped in white bandages, and even his arms were fixed with medical decks. It would take some time for his injuries to recover, so he came to this meeting with injuries.

"Okay... let's talk about the focus of this meeting!" The Third Tsuchikage took the initiative to take over the conversation.

"Uchiha Ryuun has evil ambitions. Everyone present here should be able to see what his goal is. That is the nine tailed beasts scattered throughout the ninja world..."

"He now has the Two-Tail, Three-Tail, Four-Tail, and Five-Tail, a total of four tailed beasts. I guess he will definitely attack the remaining five tailed beasts next, so what we have to do next is to unite to protect these tailed beasts and not let Uchiha Ryuun get any tailed beasts..."

"No one knows what his purpose is in snatching these tailed beasts, but if the nine tailed beasts are really put together, it would be easy for Uchiha Liuyun to destroy the five major countries. We can't let his conspiracy succeed. Protecting the remaining five tailed beasts is the top priority next...

We can even use these five tailed beasts as bait to lure Uchiha Liuyun to come to us, and then we can gather a large force to kill him completely."

After listening to the Third Tsuchikage's response plan, the daimyos of the five countries all nodded subconsciously, thinking it was feasible.

Thunder, Water, and Wind, the three shadows thought this plan was a good one, so they all nodded in agreement.

The only one who didn't react was Sarutobi Hiruzen. He always felt that this meeting was not that simple. It seemed that the other four Kage had already communicated with each other a long time ago, which made him alert.

"What do you think of my plan against Uchiha Ryuun, Hokage? If you have any questions, please raise them. Or if you have other ideas, please raise them and we can discuss them together..." The Third Tsuchikage asked in a gentle tone.

"It's a good plan. I have no problem with it. Tsuchikage, please continue..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't think of any reason to refute this plan for the time being, so he could only express his agreement in front of everyone.

"Well, since everyone agrees with this plan, let's talk about how to implement it..."

The Third Tsuchikage first made the final decision and then put forward a point of view that Konoha could not accept at all.

"To deal with Uchiha Liuyun, our five great nations cannot disperse their forces, and we cannot sit and wait for death... I propose to gather the five tailed beasts and implement key protection, so that our forces will not be too dispersed and Uchiha Liuyun will not defeat them one by one..."

As soon as the Third Tsuchikage said this, Sarutobi Hiruzen instantly realized the key point. He stood up from his seat and then decisively opposed the proposal.

"I object!!!"

"What do you object to?" the Third Tsuchikage asked in a confused manner.

He actually knew why Sarutobi Hiruzen was against it, but he just didn't want to point it out.

"I agree that we should focus on protection, and I also think it is necessary to do so, but there is no need to gather the five Jinchuriki or the tailed beasts. After all, it will be easy for Uchiha Ryuun to catch them all..." Sarutobi Hiruzen gave a barely reasonable reason.

"I don't agree with this. If it is true as the Hokage said, that our five major countries can gather a large number of troops to protect the five tailed beasts and they can be wiped out in one fell swoop, then wouldn't our five major countries be even more unable to defend against Uchiha Ryuun on our own?" said the Fourth Raikage calmly.

"Indeed, the Hokage's reasons are unacceptable. I agree with the Tsuchikage's point of view." The Fourth Mizukage also expressed his opinion at this time.

"It's easy to steal, but you can't guard against thieves for a thousand days. We suggest that you find a way to deal with Uchiha Ryuun. If that doesn't work, you can hide your own tailed beast or Jinchūriki..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen is not a fool. He knows the purpose of these people. Knowing that this purpose is not beneficial to his side, how could he foolishly agree with it?

"Deal with Uchiha Ryuun? How? We don't even know where he is now, so how can we deal with him even if we know? To put it simply... hide the tailed beast? Can it be hidden forever? Who can guarantee that it can be hidden?" The Third Kazekage asked bluntly.

"Aren't you just trying to be argumentative? If you say that, can you guarantee that you can get rid of Uchiha Ryuun after summoning the tailed beasts?" Sarutobi Hiruzen asked back.

"I can't guarantee that. After all, none of us five Kage can match him... But we can set up a trap with the five tailed beasts, and then lure Uchiha Ryuun into it. This way, our chances of winning are high. This may be our only chance to defeat Uchiha Ryuun."

The Third Tsuchikage answered for the Kazekage. His attitude remained gentle, and even his words were in line with the overall situation... Such an answer made Sarutobi Hiruzen somewhat unable to refute.

Each of these Hokage is more sinister than the other, but he, the Third Hokage, is no fool.

"Do you think Uchiha Ryuun is that stupid? How can he not see that the five major countries have joined forces?" Sarutobi Hiruzen asked with a dark face.

"He can see it, but he will definitely come! I don't need to explain this, the Hokage should know it too!"

The Third Tsuchikage's words were already a showdown.

Bang! ! !

"You want to use Kushina to lure him in? This is playing with fire. I don't agree with this!"

The Third Hokage slammed the table and stood up with a firm attitude.

The lords of the five countries were all stunned by his move.

"If you disagree, is there a better way? If not, let's take a vote... the minority shall obey the majority..." the Third Kazekage said impatiently.

"I can see that you guys have discussed this in advance, right? You are planning to target Kushina!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at everyone coldly and warned them sternly:

"I can tell you clearly that if you set your sights on Uzumaki Kushina, people will die, and many, many people will die. You don't understand Uchiha Ryuun at all. Once he touches Uzumaki Kushina, that guy will no longer be a 'human'. Konoha will not continue to go crazy with you!"

After saying this, Sarutobi Hiruzen overturned the table in front of him, and then cast a cold gaze at the Daimyo of the Land of Fire.

"Your Excellency, the Daimyo, this meeting can be ended now!"
