"No. The Akatsuki Organization's base is in the Land of Rain. Not only Konoha, even we of Iwagakure can confirm that!"
At that moment, Ōnoki shook his head, rejecting Fourth Kazekage Rasa's claim.
After all, Iwagakure had secretly hired the Akatsuki Organization for work all along. How could the cunning old Ōnoki have failed to investigate their intelligence?
What was more, Deidara of the Akatsuki Organization was his disciple!
Of course, Ōnoki clearly had no intention of revealing that he had hired the Akatsuki Organization.
Kirigakure had already extorted a sum from them. If he said anything more, the other three great shinobi villages might not be able to resist extorting Iwagakure as well.
"I agree with the Tsuchikage's view. The message Mizukage-sama sent me also said that the Akatsuki Organization's base lies within the Land of Rain!"
Mei Terumi, the only leader of the Allied Forces of the Five Great Shinobi Villages who was not a "Kage," spoke up as well.
Although Mei Terumi was not the Mizukage, anyone with eyes in Kirigakure knew that she had basically been designated as the Sixth Mizukage.
Therefore, with Soji's alter ego, Mizuki Ember, not joining the Allied Forces of the Five Great Shinobi Villages in their attack on the Land of Rain, Mei Terumi was the one leading the Kirigakure shinobi.
After Ōnoki and Mei Terumi spoke in succession, Fourth Raikage A and Fourth Kazekage Rasa no longer raised any objections to the Akatsuki Organization's headquarters being located in the Land of Rain.
"In any case, now that the alliance of our Five Great Shinobi Villages has already come this far, there's no reason for us to dawdle around like this instead of pushing inward quickly!"
After the others had voiced their opinions, Minato spoke after pondering for a moment.
Honestly,
