Picking up the document Uchiha Diqin had set down, Ronglin opened it and began reading, unable to suppress a smile.
The Four Great Ninja Villages had begun talks. One had to know that conflicts between the major ninja villages were constant in peacetime; unless something significant happened, such talks were impossible. This showed just how seriously Ōnoki regarded this incident.

If that was the case, why worry about the alliance of
