Onoki felt uncomfortable.
Back then, the little old man knew that all the Dust Release he taught was fake.
Yet Akihara Kagura still mastered Dust Release, and Onoki considered himself a sinner to The Hidden Rock Village, even using Akihara Kagura as an example to pressure his disciple Deidara to learn Dust Release, causing Deidara, who was uninterested in learning, to become frustrated and leave the village to join the Akatsuki Organization.
"Wait..."
The Third Tsuchikage Onoki suddenly recalled a name that Tsunade had mentioned, and cold sweat instantly appeared on his forehead: "You just said... Akihara Kagura used Dust Release to defeat whom?"
"Uchiha Madara."
Tsunade uttered the name coldly and continued, "That legendary figure was resurrected in Akihara Kagura's scheme and was defeated by Akihara Kagura. He will also participate in the war to stop Akihara Kagura from destroying the Ninja World..."
"!!!"
Onoki's expression changed dramatically, sweat slowly trickled down his face, and he seemed afraid: "Uchiha Madara lost to Akihara Kagura..."
"Why is the Tsuchikage so surprised?"
Fifth Mizukage Terumi Mei looked at Onoki's expression and couldn't help but ask, "No one in the Ninja World has ever been able to defeat Akihara Kagura. It's normal for a legendary figure like Uchiha Madara to lose to Akihara Kagura, isn't it?"
"No..."
Onoki shook his head, speaking to himself: "It's not like that... You can't understand what this truly means..."
"You don't know the terror of Uchiha Madara..."
Onoki's head slowly bowed as he continued in a deep voice: "Naturally, you wouldn't know what defeating Uchiha Madara truly means..."
As someone who personally experienced Uchiha Madara's might, Onoki had both his and his mentor, the Second Tsuchikage's, will shattered by Madara during his youth...
Even to this day...
Onoki's strength grew, and he even became the Tsuchikage, yet he understood even more the horror of Uchiha Madara back then...
However...
It seems that Dust Release is also powerful...
Onoki felt that his years of effort might not have been in vain, for he had developed a powerful Ninjutsu, and if he met Uchiha Madara again, he might not lose.
"It's quite normal for Uchiha Madara to lose to him..."
Fifth Kazekage Gaara frowned, speaking coldly: "Hasn't the Ninja World already identified him as the new God of Ninja, surpassing the First Hokage?"
"Akihara Kagura is stronger than the First Hokage."
Tsunade sat in her seat, her voice gradually calming: "I came here not to debate right or wrong, but to hope you will join us in preventing the destruction of the Ninja World, the Konoha Ninja will undoubtedly lead the charge..."
"That's just..."
Fourth Raikage A coldly tried to refute Tsunade.
"Akihara Kagura's current target is the Eight-tails of The Hidden Cloud Village!"
However, Tsunade interrupted Fourth Raikage with a single sentence, continuing coldly: "Akihara Kagura wishes to destroy the Ninja World by resurrecting the Ten-tails, which requires the nine Tailed Beasts of the Ninja World. He already has seven Tailed Beasts, and the next target is the Eight-tails..."
"This should have been said earlier!"
Fourth Raikage shouted angrily, planning to instruct his subordinates to hide the Eight-tails Jinchuriki Killer Bee immediately.
"The Hidden Cloud Village cannot protect the Eight-tails..."
Tsunade pierced reality with her cold voice: "Akihara Kagura alone can easily invade The Hidden Cloud Village; it's not something he hasn't done before..."
"..."
Fourth Raikage became even more agitated.
At this moment...
Fourth Raikage suddenly remembered the apple tree in his office!
The last time Akihara Kagura invaded The Hidden Cloud Village, he captured Fourth Raikage and took him to Konoha, extorting the village to hand over all Secret Techniques...
That guy even ate the apples he had in his office, claiming the apple was not tasty, and humiliatingly planted an apple tree in his office!
That apple tree was like a scar!
After Tsunade returned him to The Hidden Cloud Village, Fourth Raikage did not remove the apple tree but wanted to constantly remind himself of the shame of The Hidden Cloud Village's defeat!
Now...
That bastard is going to attack The Hidden Cloud Village again!
All present gradually calmed down.
The shadows of the Five Great Countries had to admit one thing: they must unite to withstand Akihara Kagura's destruction of the Ninja World.
Any Ninja Village facing Akihara Kagura would inevitably fall, and apart from The Hidden Rock Village, other Ninja Villages had already been trampled. Onoki even felt a bit lucky that The Hidden Rock Village had never fallen...
However...
An urgent voice echoed into the venue!
A Hidden Rock Ninja, ignoring the objections of others and regardless of being at the scene of the Five Kage Conference, called out loudly to the Third Tsuchikage!
"Lord Third Tsuchikage!"
"There is urgent information that must be reported in the village!"
"Kitsuchi!"
Onoki looked at the newcomer, involuntarily surprised: "Didn't I arrange for you to stay in the village? Why are you here?"
"..."
Kitsuchi gritted his teeth.
The Five Kage Conference was forced to pause for a few minutes.
Even though Onoki didn't want to lose face in front of these juniors, the safety of The Hidden Rock Village was ultimately the most important, so he let his son come to report the issue.
However...
When Kitsuchi whispered a few words into Onoki's ear, Onoki's expression drastically changed, even becoming somewhat fearful.
