Chapter 330 The Five Kage Talks

Xia Li was sitting in his position, stretching lazily as if he had not heard what the Tsuchikage said.

Just when the Tsuchikage frowned and wanted to speak again, Xia Li spoke.

"There is no way. After all, the Land of Fire is vast and rich in resources, and there are too many things to deal with, so I can only come here when I have spare time. I am not as free as you."

Xia Li said without changing his expression, as if he was not delayed by Ino's matter.

"Hehe, I am afraid that there are not necessarily too many things, but the method of handling is not right." Tsuchikage Ohnoki wrinkled his big red nose and continued.

"Shouldn't you know whether the method is right or not? What is the state of Konoha?" Xia Li glanced at Ohnoki. He didn't believe that there were no spies from the other side in Konoha.

"Hokage, you are joking. How can I, an old man from the Land of Earth, know about Konoha's affairs?" Ohnoki naturally couldn't admit it, but Ohnoki also looked at Xia Li at this time, feeling a little tricky. The other party was not like the character of his age at all.

"Ahem." At this time, Mifune of the Iron Country couldn't stand it anymore. If they continued to talk like this, then it would be too unreasonable for him, the host of the Five Kage Talks.

"Please put the five Kage's hats in front." Mifune said when he saw Ohnoki and Xia Li calmed down.

Xia Li put the hat representing the Kage on the table. At this time, a ray of light fell behind him, illuminating him and the symbol of the Fire Country behind him very clearly.

Naruto and Sasuke were standing behind the symbol at this time. Naruto also saw Kankuro and Temari over there, and immediately waved and greeted Kankuro and Temari with a smile.

Kankuro and Temari were also a little helpless. Fortunately, the situation here was not visible to the Kage because of the flag behind the Kage, so they responded to Naruto.

"In response to the call of His Excellency the Raikage, the five Kages are now gathered together. I am the host here, named Mifune. Next, the Five Kage Talks will begin." Mifune said in a deep voice.

After the words were spoken, the entire conference room fell silent, as if no one wanted to be the first to speak out.

In the end, it was the Kazekage Gaara who was holding his hands on the conference table with his five fingers crossed and spoke first, "Then start with me, listen."

"The changes of the Five Kage are really great." At this time, the Tsuchikage Ohnoki suddenly spoke again.

"It's amazing to be able to become a Kage at this age, Mr. Kazekage."

Gaara looked at Ohnoki, not understanding what the other party was thinking. Did he interrupt him just to praise him? It shouldn't be possible.

"It seems that your father's education should be very appropriate, but he lacks in politeness." Ohnoki showed his true colors and expressed dissatisfaction with Gaara's opening words without any honorifics.

Gaara didn't move, but Kankuro behind him under the flag of the Wind Country clenched his hands, but this occasion was not like a private meeting of the Sand Ninja, and he couldn't rush out to help.

"I think that compared to this, Lord Tsuchikage, who takes advantage of his age to teach others a lesson, is more annoying." Xia Li yawned and said. Compared to Gaara, he was the most unserious one.

"Hmph, remember that Lord Hokage and Lord Kazekage are not much different in age, no wonder they can get along well." Ohnoki snorted coldly, but didn't say anything more. The other party said that he took advantage of his age, wouldn't it be more so if he continued?

"Yes, after all, we have a lot of talents in Konoha, and I can even find someone younger than me to take over the position of Hokage, and he can also manage Konoha in an orderly manner. Unlike Lord Tsuchikage, at such an old age, he still can't find a suitable successor, and he still needs to bear everything in Iwagakure by himself." Xia Li responded.

"You!" Ohnoki immediately showed an angry look. After all, Xia Li's words did hit the pain point of Iwagakure, and it was because he hit the point that it was so annoying.

"Don't be angry, Lord Tsuchikage. After all, being so angry seems to prove that what I said seems to be right." Xia Li continued to block Ohnoki's words.

This time, Ohnoki just snorted coldly with a bad face. He looked at Xia Li and then at Gaara. The relationship between the other party was deeper than he thought, so he didn't go against the two Kages, but the annoyance in his heart was a little deeper.

Gaara looked at Xia Li and nodded to Xia Li.

Xia Li also raised his head. After all, the relationship between Sand Village and Konoha is very close now. He naturally couldn't watch Ohnoki squeeze Gaara. Besides, the other party's words were full of meaning. He was also young.

If he didn't help Gaara, Ohnoki would turn his spearhead and point it at him.

"As expected of Xia Li, that old man is really annoying." At this time, Naruto clenched his fists and whispered.

"Keep your voice down." Sasuke was a little helpless and reminded.

The meeting was still going on, but from the current situation, it seemed that there was really no way to discuss it peacefully.

"Okay, Lord Tsuchikage, Lord Hokage, please stop interrupting and let Lord Kazekage continue speaking." Mizukage Mei Terumi was also a little helpless at this time. She came to the meeting, not to listen to them arguing.

Gaara nodded, and then said, "I was originally a Jinchuuriki, but I was captured by the Akatsuki organization before and was deprived of the tailed beast, so I decided that Akatsuki was a very dangerous organization. I have sought the five shadows several times. Assisted, but everyone else ignored it except Naruto."

As Gaara said this, he looked at Xia Li again. Both the former Hokage Tsunade and the current Hokage Xia Li had a very good attitude towards the Sand Ninja.

"As far as I know, so many Jinchuuriki from all countries have been captured, and it's too late to think of cooperating with each other."

"Yes, Konoha also has a say in this matter. We have discovered the purpose of the Akatsuki organization a long time ago, and Konoha asked Jiraiya, one of the Sannin, to secretly inform you of the relevant information, and even investigated I also told you the information about the members of the Xiao organization, but unfortunately it seems to have no effect and it didn't attract your attention," Xia Li said at this time.

"Hmph... The jinchūriki of the five great countries' ninja villages were captured. It is a loss of status and will be ridiculed by other countries. It is simply a shame and a great humiliation. Under normal circumstances, they will want to find it secretly. It is impossible to just be captured and report it to other countries. The country is seeking assistance!" Ohnoki retorted.

"Property, face, boring and old-fashioned way of thinking." Gaara responded.

Xia Li laughed when he saw this scene. He agreed with Onoki on this point. The capture of the tailed beast was a big deal. Asking for help from other countries would cause greater turmoil if the other country had other ideas.

With the relationship between the five major countries, it is basically impossible to cooperate closely with each other.

It can only be said that Gaara's idea is still too ideal. For example, if Danzo was the Hokage at that time, the Sand Ninja Village would probably no longer exist. Even if it existed, it would be eaten and only the skin and bones would be left.

Terumi Mei also sighed at this time and said, "As a Mizukage, I admit that I failed to deal with this matter in time, but even if the tailed beast is taken away, it will not immediately cause panic. Controlling the tailed beast requires technology, knowledge and time."

"Moreover, the jinchuriki must grow up with the tailed beast and tame the tailed beast. Even so, it is very difficult to control it. It is not easy." Tsuchikage also said.

At this time Xia Li couldn't help but laugh.

"Hokage-sama, do you have any opinions?" Terumi Mei looked at Xia Li, and then his eyes lit up when he took a closer look. He was a handsome young man, but unfortunately he didn't look like a boy at all. On the contrary, Kazekage was relatively simple.

"In the face of absolute power, controlling tailed beasts is not difficult. For example, Konoha's first generation Hokage and Uchiha Madara were able to control tailed beasts with their own power." Xia Li said.

"But how can members of the Akatsuki organization be compared with those two?" Terumi Mei frowned.

"The Akatsuki organization has the eyes of the Sage of Six Paths - the Rinnegan. It will not be difficult for them to suppress the tailed beasts. Besides, all they want is the power of the tailed beasts. They don't care about becoming a jinchuriki or taming the tailed beasts. Gaara can also prove this, he is the only former jinchūriki who is still alive after having his tailed beast power taken away." Xia Li nodded at the table and continued.

"Furthermore, the Akatsuki organization was not just born at this time. It was born long before Ichibi was captured. The reason why it was delayed until recently can only mean that the preparations for the Akatsuki organization have been completed. Your point of view is completely Untenable."

Terumi Mei and Onoki also fell silent when they heard this, because what Xia Li said was not a lie, the so-called truth is the sharp knife, and this sharp knife left them speechless.

And, more importantly, they themselves were probably the ones who helped the Akatsuki organization prepare. After all, money is also part of the preparation...

However, at this moment, Raikage quietly clenched his fists, and his actions attracted everyone's attention.

"Stop talking nonsense!" Raikage yelled and punched the table. This punch did not use chakra, but it still smashed the table directly.

At this moment, all the Kage's guards had already stopped in front of the Kage, and took out their own weapons. They looked at the Raikage warily, and the conflict seemed to be about to break out at the next moment.

At this time, Mifune couldn't help but sigh, and then said, "This is an important place for talks. Please be careful with any disrespectful behavior."

"Naruto, Sasuke, step back." Xia Li said.

Naruto and Sasuke looked at each other and retreated behind the curtain again. They also knew Xia Li's strength, so they were not too worried.

The other guards also retreated one after another.

"Then, the talks will continue," Mifune said.

At this time, Raikage also attracted everyone's attention because of his previous actions. He glanced at the others, and then said, "Konoha, Iwa, Sand, Mist, and the rebellious ninjas of the Ninja Village are composed of Xiao, not only that, I have investigated that some of you, including the shadow of your predecessor, have taken advantage of Xiao!"

Suddenly, Gaara's eyes widened in disbelief.

Xia Li didn't say anything when he heard this. He couldn't say whether Konoha had used Akatsuki. Tsunade certainly hadn't, but the Third Generation and Danzo...

Especially Danzo.

Suddenly, Xia Li nodded her forehead, as if Danzo had definitely used the Akatsuki organization, but others used the Akatsuki organization to do things that were beneficial to the village, while Danzo used the Akatsuki... just to kill him.

"I don't believe you, and I don't want to negotiate or cooperate with you at all. I came here to convene the Five Shadows Conference to hold you accountable!"

And Gaara didn't care about this. He cared more about what the Raikage said before, that some ninja villages had used the Akatsuki organization?

Xia Li snorted and didn't care much about this. Regardless of right or wrong, the premise of wanting to hold the other party responsible is that the other party's strength must be greater than theirs. Unfortunately, the power of the Cloud Ninja can't reach this point.

However, what the Raikage said was not wrong. The Cloud Ninja Village was the only one that did not have any Akatsuki rebels, but the Akatsuki organization captured two tailed beasts. It was indeed a bit miserable.

Next, the Raikage continued to play, first saying that there were the most rebels in Konoha in the Akatsuki organization, first Orochimaru and then Uchiha Itachi.

Then he talked about the Sand Ninja using the Akatsuki organization to participate in the war, and the Tsuchikage also explained why the Akatsuki organization was used.

It was probably because it took a lot of energy and money to train ninjas by themselves, so it was better to use money to exchange for the help of the Akatsuki organization, which took fighting as a profession. They were all war experts. In this way, not only could the village avoid a large loss of manpower, but also achieve excellent results because of the strength of the Akatsuki organization.

Ohnoki was talking with great relish. He didn't care if others exposed this kind of thing. Even if it happened again, he would make the same choice.

Then, the Raikage pointed the finger at the Mizukage Terumi Mei, thinking that the Mist Ninja was the most suspicious, because the Mist Ninja never engaged in diplomacy. There were rumors that the birthplace of the Akatsuki organization was the Mist Ninja Village.

It can be said that the Raikage had gone crazy and talked about all the faults of the other four major ninja villages at once.

As the one who was questioned, the Mizukage was silent for a long time before he slowly spoke, "Since it has come to this, I will speak directly."

"The former fourth generation Mizukage Yagura, we suspect that he was controlled by someone, and it may also be the work of the Akatsuki organization, so we don't want to make this matter public..." Terumi Mei closed her eyes. After all, the village's shadow being controlled is the most unacceptable thing, not to mention making it public.

"Everyone is like this..." The Raikage gritted his teeth and wanted to get angry when he heard it. Such an important thing was only said now.

"Speak politely, Raikage." Ohnoki spoke again at this time, "In the final analysis, it is because you are still desperately pursuing power and collecting ninjutsu in this era of reducing armaments that we have to hire Akatsuki to fight against you."

"What?" Raikage glared with anger, slapped his hands on the table, and stood up again.

Xia Li watched all this with interest, as if he didn't mind the big deal.

Unfortunately, Ohnoki didn't mean to continue, and Raikage just glared at Ohnoki for a while and sat down again. After all, there were five Kage sitting here, and even if he came to ask for punishment, he couldn't want to offend the other four Kage at the same time.

Mifune sighed again at this time. He had already thought that this would happen in the Five Kage Talks. After all, how could the five Kage, who were enemies in the past, sit down and discuss in peace easily.

At this time, Mifune also noticed that Xia Li seemed to be watching the show, thinking in his heart, and then spoke again.

"Please calm down. If we continue to argue like this, we will never get any results. In my opinion, let the Hokage speak for himself."

"Me?" Xia Li couldn't help but look at Mifune. He hadn't seen enough of the show.

"Yes." Mifune nodded. Seeing that everyone else was looking at him, he continued to speak without changing his expression.

"After all, Konoha, led by the Hokage, is the only village that has not lost its tailed beast. Konoha is also the first village to discover the purpose of the Akatsuki organization and inform other villages of it. So the Hokage's opinion is very important in my opinion. And the Hokage should also have some information that we don't know, right? Can you tell us at the same time?"

Hearing this, the other four Kages looked at each other and nodded. After all, what Mifune said made sense.

"Okay, but I want to say first that Konoha was not attacked by the Akatsuki organization. The other party even sent out the one with the Samsara Eye." Xia Li said directly.

"What?!" The other four Kages opened their eyes wide. They knew that Konoha was attacked by the Akatsuki organization. After all, the commotion that time was not small, but they did not expect it to be the Samsara Eye.

So, even if facing the Samsara Eye, does Konoha have the ability to deal with it?

"So, it is your own problem that you did not protect the tailed beasts well." Xia Li said.

Even if Xia Li said this, it was a bit hateful, but at this time the other Kages could not refute anything. After all, compared with Konoha, the intensity of the attack they suffered was not that great, but they still lost the tailed beasts, which was enough to explain the problem.

"Next, let me talk about the information I have, but these are not free." Xia Li said.

"What do you mean?" Raikage asked.

"For example, what is the purpose of this Five Kage meeting? Is it really to ask for punishment?" Xia Li glanced at the Raikage, and the meaning was self-evident. Does the Cloud Village have the right to ask the other four villages for their crimes?

Even if the Raikage just said all the mistakes of the other four ninja villages, it would not achieve this effect at all.

"As far as I know, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki should be the Raikage's younger brother, and he should have been captured by the Akatsuki organization not long ago. What you are thinking about now should be getting our help as soon as possible to rescue your brother, right?" Xia Li asked.

"And you keep saying that it's not for the purpose of cooperation talks, but if it's not for cooperation talks, why waste this time to hold the Five Kage Talks? It's better to use this time to find your brother and save him."

"So, I'm afraid, Mr. Raikage, you also know that you can't deal with the Akatsuki Organization or save your brother with your strength alone, so you can only hold the Five Kage Talks, and the purpose is to cooperate."

"For this reason, you organized the Five Kage Talks, and put on a look of asking for punishment, just to gain the moral high ground."

"So, what do you mean?" Raikage's eyes widened, and his beard was about to stand up.

"Well, it means that if the Five Kage Talks reach a unified result, then you will be able to stand on the moral high ground and most likely propose to become the commander-in-chief of the coalition. In this way, you can better control the coalition forces to rescue your brother." Xia Li said casually.

Raikage stared at Xia Li without speaking, and Xia Li continued to speak.

"I wanted to continue watching you quarrel, but since Lord Mifune asked me to express my opinion, I will speak directly." Xia Li looked at the other four shadows with interest.

"I can agree to the alliance, but I don't intend to give you the position of commander-in-chief."
