The Hidden Rain Village.
Inside the Pentagonal Conference Room.
After Tsunade finished speaking, there was a moment of silence.
Jiraiya heard Orochimaru's breathing beside him intensify. He knew his old friend's dream, but he never expected that his disciple and Orochimaru's experiment would achieve Orochimaru's dream of mastering all the jutsu and knowledge in the Ninja World.
"So..."
Fifth Kazekage Gaara tapped the table, drawing everyone's attention back. His voice was somewhat calm, "For us, it just means that guy will be even harder to deal with. After all, he was already very strong..."
"Not only that..."
"That guy's progress in destroying the world will accelerate."
Third Tsuchikage Onoki glanced at everyone present, and spoke in a deep voice, "According to the intelligence brought by Kitsuchi, that guy mentioned one sentence: there's nothing left in this world that he wants to obtain, and he will speed up his progress in destroying the world..."
"Not good!"
Fourth Raikage suddenly thought of something, and his body almost instantly stood up, "While we're here having a meeting, that bastard might have left the Hidden Rock Village and headed to The Hidden Cloud Village to capture Bee. That bastard wants to take the Eight-tails!"
If he wants to accelerate the destruction of the world...
That guy will definitely go to The Hidden Cloud Village to capture Killer Bee!
"Don't panic!"
Tsunade hurriedly called out to the Fourth Raikage, advising him in a deep voice, "Even if you hurry back now, it won't stop him. If he wants to capture the Eight-tails, neither you nor The Hidden Cloud Village can stop him. The most important thing now is to prevent him from destroying the Ninja World!"
"Tsunade, aren't you worried about the Nine-tails?"
Fourth Raikage glared angrily at Tsunade.
Although what Tsunade said was true, it couldn't help but irritate Fourth Raikage!
Even though he couldn't defeat Akihara Kagura, nor protect that idiot Bee, he still wanted to do everything in his power for his sworn-brother!
Even if...
He knew it was futile!
"At least for now, we don't need to worry about the safety of the Nine-tails."
Tsunade shook her head, her expression very calm, "Uchiha Madara was only defeated, he is right outside the Konoha Village, and he will also participate in this war to stop Akihara Kagura..."
"!!!"
This news immediately shocked everyone present!
It's undeniable...
This news is indeed startling!
That legendary figure would actually join us?
No wonder Tsunade wasn't the slightest bit worried about the Nine-tails in Konoha; it turns out there's someone of such caliber guarding the Nine-tailed Jinchuriki of Konoha!
"Alright."
Tsunade sighed, taking the initiative to summarize, "Now we must quickly decide something here: forming a Ninja Alliance composed of the five great countries is an inevitable trend, and we must spare no effort to prevent Akihara Kagura from destroying the Ninja World, at all costs!"
"Before that..."
"Konoha will prevent Akihara Kagura from collecting all the Tailed Beasts! All other matters can be addressed after the war; Konoha will forgo any benefits Akihara Kagura has seized!"
"If we cannot stop Akihara Kagura now, everything we discuss here will have no significance, and our villages will have no future!"
"This war is unavoidable for us!"
"And apart from us great countries..."
As Tsunade spoke to this point, she glanced at Salamander Hanzo who was hosting the talks: "Lord Hanzo has been contacting other countries during this time. The samurai from the Land of Iron, the ninjas from the Land of Rain and the Land of Hot Water, and other small nations will also unite to prevent the crisis of the destruction of the Ninja World!"
"Indeed."
Salamander Hanzo nodded, his tone deep, "I am very aware of the threat posed by Akihara Kagura, having witnessed his battles firsthand. Unless everyone unites to find a way, otherwise we'll be defeated by him individually, and he'll collect the Tailed Beasts to resurrect the Ten-tails..."
"I also happen to know some information about the Ten-tails..."
"Once Akihara Kagura successfully revives the Ten-tails, a single strike from it could destroy a great country, and then the Ninja World will have no chance of resistance!"
"..."
The Kages looked at each other.
Now...
They must admit Tsunade and Salamander Hanzo were right.
Actually, they had already agreed to unite against Akihara Kagura's proposal; they just wanted to use this opportunity to reclaim some things, and Tsunade's willingness to offer promises couldn't be better...
Continuing would only be a waste of critical time!
The Kages from other great country ninja villages nodded in agreement.
Tsunade, seeing that they finally willing to stop wasting time, breathed a sigh of relief, "If everyone agrees, then we should quickly return and gather ninjas from our respective villages, forming a Ninja Alliance capable of countering Akihara Kagura..."
"In addition..."
"We should maintain intelligence communication during this period and do our best to quickly find out the strength of that suddenly appearing White Zetsu army under Akihara Kagura..."
"Agreed."
Fifth Kazekage Gaara nodded.
"Agreed."
Fifth Mizukage Terumi Mei had no objections.
"Agreed."
Third Tsuchikage Onoki nodded, the elder just wanted to quickly finish this meeting and return to The Hidden Rock Village to check the village's damage.
"Agreed."
Fourth Raikage A answered in a deep voice, wanting to return to The Hidden Cloud Village quickly for fear his sworn-brother Killer Bee would be captured by Akihara Kagura.
"Agreed."
It was a voice everyone present was very familiar with.
"Hmm?"
