"The coalition's logistics and wages will be borne by the daimyo of each country!"
Mifune delivered a piece of "good news."
In truth, everyone had already reached an unspoken understanding about this. Mifune was merely making it official now.
It couldn't be helped. The assassinations targeting daimyo and nobles had become far too rampant. If the Five Kage did not act soon, the casualties would only grow more staggering.
Compared to that, handing over some money and resources was nothing.

As long as the Five Great Ninja Villages acted immediately, they could promptly gather whatever supplies and funds were needed.
That was why Mifune had spoken up at this moment—he had been under considerable pressure.
Otherwise, how could someone who had initially resolved not to speak carelessly have opened his mouth so casually?
"Now that someone is providing the logistics, shall we discuss how many people each major ninja village will send?"
With a broad wave of his hand, A skipped the "asking for approval" stage and went straight into practical arrangements.

Pakura suddenly spoke.
Naturally, she was not truly trying to break apart the coalition against Akatsuki. She simply wanted to use this chance to gain some leverage.
At the very least, Sunagakure could not be "represented" by the Raikage without even negotiating
