Chapter 233 The war officially begins!
Raikage Ai: "I agree!"
Mizukage Terumi Mei: "I agree too!"
Agent Kazekage Chiyo: "I second the motion..."
Tsuchikage Onoki: "..."
Four of the five shadows have already agreed, but Onoki, the Tsuchikage, is still hesitant.
Several people looked at Ohnoki at the same time.
There was a trace of sweat on the latter's forehead, but he still said forcefully: "I don't agree!"
Aunt Snake raised her eyebrows, it seemed like this little old man still needed to be dealt with!
"Do you have any concerns, Lord Tsuchikage?"
Mifune asked proactively.
"Unite the five villages? Form a ninja coalition? Then who will be the commander-in-chief of this coalition?"
"Aren't you worried that some people will take this opportunity to take command of the coalition forces and annex the remaining villages?"
Ohnoki said worriedly.
But there were insinuations inside and outside the words, accusing Konoha and Hokage Orochimaru of trying to use this operation to achieve evil purposes.
On this point alone, Onoki was really right.
Aunt Snake does have impure intentions and great ambitions.
And as soon as these words came out, the shadows in other villages were obviously worried.
The position of commander-in-chief of the coalition forces is indeed a lucrative one.
Once mastered, not only can it gain great authority, but it can also greatly increase personal prestige, and even threaten the core interests of other villages.
It's a pity that there is only one location.
There are five of the Five Shadows, so it’s really hard to choose.
Where there are interests, there are conflicts, and when there are conflicts, fights easily break out.
"The position and command authority of the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces?"
"This is indeed a question that requires a good decision..."
Mifune sounded worried, feeling that it would be difficult to reach a conclusion in this Five Kage Talks!
"Who do you think, Mifune-dono, is the most suitable?"
Terumi Mei took the initiative to ask, she was still a little self-aware of herself.
Both in terms of strength and prestige, they are far behind the other four shadows, and coupled with the scandal of Kirigakure Village's Mizukage being manipulated by Akatsuki.
She basically has no chance of becoming the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces.
It would be better to ask Mifune for his opinion.
From the bottom of her heart, she and Kirigakure still hoped to form a coalition to destroy the Akatsuki organization together.
It would also be a good way to avenge the Fourth Mizukage and a large number of Mist Ninja who sacrificed their lives for nothing.
"What else are we discussing? This position of commander should naturally be taken by me!"
Raikage stood up and presented himself, extremely confident.
"you?"
"How can you, a guy with a brain full of muscles, lead the coalition forces?"
"The commander of the coalition forces needs more strategy and wisdom! Anyone who lets their emotions and brute force act will only disrupt the entire coalition forces!"
Ohnoki shouted again.
He did not want the five-village coalition to be established, and he did not want to see the position of commander of the coalition fall to Raikage.
The Third Raikage died at the hands of Iwagakure.
There is this blood feud.
If the Fourth Raikage were really allowed to take command, he would probably try his best to consume the Iwagakure Village and deliberately send Iwa ninjas to conquer the most difficult enemies, causing huge casualties, right?
"What? Who are you calling brainless?"
"You old Tsuchikage, is it possible that you also covet the position of commander?"
The Raikage was furious and confronted the Tsuchikage tit for tat.
See this.
The agent Kazekage Chiyo's mother-in-law didn't mind seeing the excitement and was overjoyed:
‘Let’s fight, let’s fight! ’
‘Don’t be a coward! ’
Grandma Chiyo's position is indeed a bit delicate.
With Xie's grandson here, her original intention was not to push Xiao too hastily.
In fact, if the five shadow talks fail this time, the three Yunyanmu families will even fight again.
For the currently weak Sunagakure Village, this might not be a bad thing. He can also use more strength to find another way to get his grandson back.
It's better than watching him be strangled by the five-village coalition...
But that's it.
A certain Godaime Hokage spoke.
"I also support Raikage-dono to serve as the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces!"
When Orochimaru said these words, the others were shocked.
No one expected that Orochimaru, who took the initiative to convene a meeting of the Five Kages, would actually give up the position of commander-in-chief?
"ah?"
Raikage Ai himself was stunned and looked at Orochimaru.
"The strength of the Akatsuki organization is extraordinary, so it naturally needs a strong enough leader to lead the coalition forces."
"Besides, only the strong can defeat strong enemies!"
Orochimaru recommended with reason.
The other figures were stunned for a moment.
No, are you the Hokage of Konoha?
How can I help Raikage speak?
Are you worthy of the name of Hokage you bear?
Or has Cloud Hidden Village and Konoha already reached some kind of PY deal in advance?
"Hahaha!"
"Hokage-dono is right!"
"Strength is the first criterion for commanding the coalition forces!"
Raikage Ai laughed heartily and was quite satisfied with Orochimaru.
It even suddenly felt that this guy was not so cunning and insidious, and even a bit pleasing to the eye.
What a pity.
Of course, Aunt Snake did not recommend Raikage out of kindness, but did so deliberately.
On the one hand, Aunt Snake is not keen on taking control of the coalition forces.
On the other hand, there is only one way to elect a commander who is tough enough and fierce enough.
This is conducive to the head-on confrontation between the coalition forces and the Akatsuki organization!
Therefore, it is better to let the Raikage lead.
He has the most radical personality, as long as the war starts.
He will definitely not stop until Akatsuki is completely wiped out and the blood of Yunyin Village is not drained!
This is in the best interest of Orochimaru and Konoha.
"Very good, now that the Hokage agrees."
"Old Tsuchikage, what else do you have to say?"
The Fourth Raikage Ai turned to look at Onoki, with a look of arrogance and wantonness on his face.
"I……"
"I still don't agree with the coalition proposal! This..."
Ohnoki was still arrogant and still unwilling to participate in the war.
But Orochimaru's next question immediately broke his guard.
"Master Tsuchikage, you've been acting for so long, aren't you tired yet?"
"Orochimaru, what do you mean?"
"I guess, maybe Iwagakure is the real mastermind behind Akatsuki?"
"What are you talking about?"
"Otherwise, why do Iwagakure often hire Akatsuki? In fact, your good apprentice Deidara even took the initiative to join Akatsuki and is even one of the core members."
"Lord Tsuchikage, can you explain?"
As soon as Orochimaru said these words, Iwagakure Village was immediately set on fire.
Look carefully.
Iwagakure Village does have a close relationship with Akatsuki!
The Tsuchikage was even willing to indulge his apprentice into joining a rebel ninja mercenary organization, which was obviously abnormal.
"That's right! Tsuchikage, what else do you have to say?!!"
Raikage was furious.
Even Mifune, who always liked to be the peacemaker, couldn't help but become suspicious and looked at Ohnoki with suspicion.
"I……"
Ohnoki was suddenly speechless and his face turned red.
I really don’t know how to defend myself.
He had always regarded Deidara as the most talented and suitable next Tsuchikage successor.
Even his son Loess couldn't compare to Deidara in his heart.
Even though Deidara was very rebellious, he often caused all kinds of trouble in the village in pursuit of the art of explosions.
But Onoki has always been conniving.
After Deidara defected from the village, Onoki did not send elites to hunt him down.
Even if there is vague intelligence, Deidara even joined Akatsuki after defecting.
Ohnoki doesn't care either...
Just think that this precious apprentice has reached his rebellious stage and go out to practice.
Joining a mercenary organization like Akatsuki can help you practice your actual combat abilities and experience the cruelty of the outside world.
After enough wandering, it's time to return to the village and inherit his mantle.
so.
He had been deliberately obstructing the establishment of the coalition forces and delaying the five villages to launch a siege against Akatsuki.
They were just worried that Deidara would accidentally die suddenly during the encirclement and suppression.
But now, he was defeated by Orochimaru.
I’m afraid I can’t hide it anymore!
Ohnoki felt cruel and gritted his teeth.
For Deidara, he was even willing to take the blame.
Use the name and intimidation of Iwagakure to temporarily protect Akatsuki! Protect your precious apprentice!
but.
Just then.
A samurai rushed into the conference room and reported some urgent information to the samurai general Mifune regardless of etiquette.
After Mifune heard this, his expression suddenly changed.
Seeing this, everyone else was also trembling. It was obvious that something big had happened.
"What happened?" Terumi Mei asked first.
Mifune frowned and looked at Ohnoki, which made the latter feel uncomfortable.
"Look what I did? What happened?"
Mifune sighed and said quietly:
"According to the intelligence that just came in."
"The Akatsuki organization and the Rain Ninja Village have taken the initiative to provoke a war and launched a massive attack on Iwagakure Village!"
"Currently, it is said that Iwagakure Village has been breached..."
Hearing this, Onoki was instantly confused, with a face full of astonishment:
"Nani?"
"How?!!"
"A mere Akatsuki dares to attack my village. How can it be possible to break through in a short time?"
"This news must be false!"
Mifune looked at Ohnoki and hesitated to speak.
But in the end he told the truth:
"It is said that Deidara, the former Sunagakure Village rebel ninja, took the lead in sneaking into Iwagakure Village and cooperated with the Rain ninja troops to break through the defenses!"
"This led to the massive defeat of Yanyin Village..."
Hear this.
Onoki was even more dumbfounded and shouted crazily:
"What?!!"
"This is impossible!!!"
I put my old face aside and tried every means to obstruct the establishment of the five-village coalition.
Just to give Xiao a breath. At least they have to fish out Deidara before annihilating Akatsuki.
In the end, this bastard actually helped an outsider and directly stabbed Iwagakure in the back?
What a beast!
"I, I..."
"Deidara! This traitor!"
Ohnoki's eyes widened, he was furious and cursed loudly. I almost fainted from anger on the spot!
