"And if we speak up, the other villages will only think Konoha is trying to take the lead. On the contrary, it would be somewhat inappropriate."
Tsunade rolled her eyes, feeling speechless. At a time like this, they were still thinking about all this nonsense. Couldn't they consider the current situation from the bigger picture?
Seeing what Tsunade was thinking, White Fang smiled.
"Not everyone thinks the same way we do. Given that, it would be best for us to wait for the other villages to state their positions first. We aren't afraid of trouble, but it's better not to invite it unnecessarily. Most importantly, a well-intentioned offer to help might end up leaving us furious instead."
"That's the only way, then."
Although they all shared the same goal—blocking Akatsuki—who wanted to offer help out of kindness only to end up seething with anger?
White Fang did not want that, and neither did Tsunade.
Without White Fang's words, Tsunade would have taken the initiative even if it earned her a bad reputation and left her full of anger. But now, she felt it was better to wait and let the other villages issue the call first.
In truth, whether a place was the safest or not was not for one side to decide. Just like how Ay and his secretary believed that as long as the Five Kage Summit was held in Kumogakure, Kumogakure would be the safest place. After all, to protect the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki and deal with Akatsuki, the other major villages would certainly send many powerful fighters to Kumogakure.
Would Kumogakure still fear Akatsuki then?
But would Akatsuki be worried?
In the entire world, among all the nations and villages, aside from Konoha, where Ronglin was stationed, was there anywhere else Akatsuki needed to fear?
With that
