Heading to the Sacred Domain

The others were unfazed, but Tsunade instantly became alert. She saw a similar glint in Mei Terumi Ino Shizune, so she calmly said, "The Five Kage are the core of the alliance and cannot act arbitrarily. In my opinion, we should have the major ninja villages send ninjas to form a joint team to the Dream God Sect. While gathering intelligence, we can also try to win them over. The more combat power we have, the better our chances of winning!"

Mei Terumi cursed inwardly, "Did this unwanted old woman see something? Damn it, she can't find a man herself, so she tries to stop others from pursuing Happiness... Bah! I was only willing to endure humiliation and compromise to get close to that dangerous man for the sake of Hidden Mist's development and the future of the Shinobi World."

Seeing the glint of electricity in Mei Terumi's eyes, Tsunade became even more certain of her guess. She met Mei's gaze without flinching, thinking to herself, "Hmph, that seductive slut from the Mist Village wants to steal a man from our Konoha? By the time you make your move, Shizune and Ino will probably have devoured that man until there's not a bone left!"

Seeing that Tsunade and Mei Terumi were staring at each other without any warning, the other three straight men were a little confused. The Hokage's suggestion was quite reasonable, so why did the Mizukage look so depressed and unhappy? Had they missed something?

After a long pause, Gaara, under the gazes of the other two old men, forced himself to speak, "Mizukage, Lord Hokage meant well. After all, the enemy is a legend of the Shinobi World like Uchiha Madara. As one of the Five Kage, it's best to stay in the center at all times."

Mei Terumi's icy expression melted away like snow melting in the spring sun, and she said with a smile that concealed a knife, "The Hokage is getting old after all, and he always wants to be careful in his actions, which I can naturally understand!"

Tsunade, the air crackling with the strain. Then, in a low, menacing voice, she said, "Are you trying to call me an old woman?"

"Of course not, it should be a violent old woman now!"

Bang! Bang! Bang!

In the dilapidated conference hall, the five Kage, covered in dust and dirt, finally sat down again to continue their discussions.

"Stop arguing, everyone. Just do as the Hokage said before. Each village will send one or two elite ninjas to form a joint investigation team to gather intelligence at the Dream God Sect's Sanctuary. This way, we can support each other. Also, we must act as soon as possible and return before the war breaks out," the Raikage said impatiently, making the final decision.

"We, the Kumogakure, are sending Samui and Darui. We'll have them agree on a time and place to assemble quickly."

"In that case, let's Akatsuchi Iwagakure Kurotsuchi to see the world."

"Sunagakure, Temari, Kankuro!"

"Then we, the Mist Shadow, will send Chojuro and Ao."

"Hmm... Konoha's side is Naruto Uzumaki and Sakura Haruno."

"Wait!" Raikage suddenly interrupted, "Hokage, your decision is too hasty. Knowing that Uchiha Madara's target is the Eight Tails and the Nine-Tails, you still chose to send out the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki at this time. It's practically handing that brat over to Uchiha Madara. I don't agree!"

Ōnoki frowned and said, "Hokage, your decision is indeed somewhat inappropriate. From the moment the war began, they were no longer just themselves, but variables that could affect the future of the Shinobi World. Their every move needs to be taken into account for the entire Shinobi World."

"Both the Eight Tails Jinchuriki and the Nine-Tails- Tails Jinchuriki are extremely powerful combatants. Are we going to hide them away after the war breaks out? Rather than letting them bear immense psychological pressure during the war, it would be better to use this opportunity to let them experience more trials," Tsunade explained calmly.

"Moreover, I understand Naruto's personality very well. He absolutely cannot tolerate the idea that everyone is fighting for the world, but he has to hide in the shadows. Rather than letting him break out of his prison and rush into the battlefield in a fit of rage, it's better to have this plan from the beginning."

The Raikage remained silent. Judging from the fact that the Eight Tails Jinchuriki had escaped the village under the Akatsuki's attack, he knew that his younger brother was no pushover. If the kind of thing Tsunade foresaw happened to Killer Bee, he wouldn't be surprised at all. In that situation, learning to let go might be the best choice.

"No, it's still too dangerous!" Ōnoki shook his head and said.

"Do you think this place is safe? With Uchiha Madara's unpredictable Space-Time Ninjutsu, unless we take turns guarding it continuously, he will always find an opportunity. But the Dream God Sect is different. Lord Roy has personally broken through that kind of Space-Time Ninjutsu. As long as we get there, even Uchiha Madara won't dare to attack easily!"

"But, Lord Hokage, are you sure that Pope Roy is safe and reliable? You know, just a month ago he was still a member of Akatsuki. What if all of this is a trap set for Naruto..." Gaara asked hesitantly.

"If you knew everything that happened after Pain's attack, you wouldn't have this question."

"Lord Hokage, you jest. We have never planted any spies in Konoha. Besides, your intelligence secrecy is indeed excellent. Our understanding of that man is limited to the fact that he seems to have played some important role in the subsequent events," Mei Terumi said sarcastically.

"Because this matter involves Konoha's reputation, some information cannot be disclosed. I can only tell you this: if Lord Roy really wanted to capture Naruto, he wouldn't have waited until now. Because even the entire Konoha combined is insignificant to him."

As Tsunade spoke, she recalled the fear of being dominated by a mysterious power that day. In front of that man, they couldn't even control their own bodies; their strength levels were completely different.

"Hey, Hokage, isn't that a bit sensational? Even Uchiha Madara at his peak might not be able to achieve that level of strength!" Ōnoki said disbelievingly.

"Naruto, who activated Nine Tails Mode and defeated Pain Tendo, couldn't even last a second against him. The other Jonin and I didn't even have the courage to make a move in front of him. Now you should understand why I'm so enthusiastic about Lord Roy's pursuit of peace. Because if he also harbors ambitions to control the Shinobi World, it would be a disaster even more terrifying than Uchiha Madara!"

The other four Kage were shocked. If even the strongest Konoha was like this, then they were even less of a match for that person. At the same time, they secretly rejoiced that this terrifying figure was not their enemy.
