Chapter 150
The meeting officially began.
First, the most important piece of intelligence was presented.
The delaying tactic employed by the ally Ryugakure Village, has failed.
The Daimyo of the Land of Ryu was destroyed, many guards were killed, and the daimyo's son was assassinated...
A shocking report.
This caused an uproar among the crowd.
Sitting in the conference room were the three elders, including Utatane Koharu, and the retired Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi.
There are also clan heads and department leaders such as Tsume Inuzuka, Fugaku Uchiha, Inoichi Yamanaka, and Shikaku Nara.
The large conference room was filled with voices.
All of this was because Amakawa Akito had a notorious reputation.
Through his various deeds, people have come to a general understanding of what kind of person he is.
But when they actually arrived in Daming Prefecture, they destroyed the buildings on the spot and killed the Daming's son...
Finally, they even threatened that if they didn't withdraw their troops, the next daimyo would be killed...
I've never heard of anything like this before.
"Does he... intend to make an enemy of the entire ninja world?"
The outspoken Tsume Inuzuka widened his eyes and voiced everyone's thoughts.
"I'm afraid... yes."
Shikaku Nara nodded solemnly.
Hello, yes.
83. Ransom, 5 billion
Having personally met Amakawa Akito, negotiated with him, clashed with him on ideological issues, and even witnessed him kill Shinku Yuhi...
Shikaku Nara believes he has a certain right to speak on this matter.
"What's worse, according to the latest intelligence, Amakawa Akito captured the Seven-Tails Jinchūriki from Ryugakure Village during this battle..."
Shikaku Nara is Konoha's strategist, one of the advisors to the Land of Fire, and the leader of the Jonin Corps.
I have always been highly regarded by everyone.
It's perfectly normal to get firsthand information.
"Oh..."
The noise in the conference room suddenly grew louder.
Tailed Beast are powerful weapons and a strategic deterrent for every country.
The fact that Ryugakure sent the Seven-Tails Jinchūriki shows that they fully respected Konoha's request to send troops.
However, the Seven-Tails has now fallen into the hands of Amegakure.
Doesn't this mean the balance of the ninja world might be broken?!
Amegakure holds the Seven-Tails in its hands.
Other countries would then dare not act rashly.
Otherwise, it would be a deterrent warning using the power of the Tailed Beast.
If Amegakure were to suddenly acquire the Seven-Tails, to what extent would Amegakure national strength increase?
"And what was the reaction of Ryugakure Village?"
Fugaku Uchiha.
After Minato Namikaze became Hokage, he personally paid a visit to Minato's home.
After the two sides talked, the relationship between the Uchiha and the village began to ease little by little.
Fugaku Uchiha also decided to trust the new Hokage once again.
Perhaps... the relationship between the Uchiha Clan and the village will take a turn for the better.
After all, Minato Namikaze was the first to actively request that a child from the Uchiha Clan become his subordinate.
Although Obito died young.
But everyone could see Minato Namikaze's sincerity. He... was a Senju ninja who extended a hand of friendship to the Uchiha.
"Ryugakure has clearly stated its intention to cease hostilities... and has dispatched diplomatic personnel to Amegakure to discuss the matter of ceasefire and reparations..."
Shikaku Nara answered immediately.
The "Mangekyō Sharingan" displayed by Fugaku Uchiha is a force to be reckoned with.
In a single day, they easily and effortlessly eliminated 63 enemy Jonin, directly causing the Iwagakure forces to collapse.
Because of this performance, coupled with his previous reputation, people spoke to him even more politely.
How could they do this?!
Utatane Koharu, clearly somewhat angry.
"After all, the Seven-Tails has been taken into Amegakure's possession... and that Amakawa Akito's strength..." Mitokado Homura frowned and said in a low voice.
The most powerful treasures of Ryugakure are the Seven-Tails and the Hero Water.
Now Seven-Tails has lost money.
Do you really want them all to die in battle?
In an instant.
Silence fell over the meeting room.
"Mr. Shikaku, in your opinion, how will Amakawa Akito utilize the Seven-Tails?"
Minato Namikaze's tone is gentle and mild, like a spring breeze.
Even in seemingly unfavorable situations.
He remained calm.
"Perhaps..."
Shikaku Nara swallowed hard.
He looked at everyone.
Because what I'm about to say will probably not be believed by most people.
"That Amakawa Akito... he's very likely to disdain the power of the Seven-Tails... after all..."
He was vehemently opposed to the theory of bloodline.
So.
"The real target... might be the Seven-Tails Jinchūriki himself."
"Absurd!"
Utatane Koharu, snorted and slammed her hand on the table as she stood up.
"You actually believe his nonsense?! An ordinary person?! No Kekkei Genkai?! Disdainful of all special things?!"
Utatane Koharu, felt that it was all a lie.
That Amakawa Akito must possess some kind of Kekkei Genkai, or even Kekkei Tōta.
Furthermore, in this world, who would be indifferent or dismissive of the power of the Tailed Beast?
Unless this person has something wrong with their head.
Minato Namikaze thought for Shikaku Nara's opinion.
"Alright, everyone, let's prepare for battle, contact our ally Sunagakure, and closely monitor the negotiations between Ryugakure and Amegakure..."
Minato Namikaze has made his decision.
Once Ryugakure arrives at Amegakure and the negotiations reach a conclusion, Konoha will then act based on that conclusion.
But in any case.
Amakawa Akito and Amegakure have incurred the wrath of the masses.
It broke the rules followed by all ninjas in the ninja world.
He had become the target of everyone's hatred, and his fate... was to be crushed by the combined forces of Konoha and Sunagakure.
Amegakure...
The underground space of "Black Prison".
Akito commissioned Asuka and Guren to join forces and perform Earth Release Ninjutsu.
A dedicated training facility has been set up.
The "Six-Seal Barrier" was also used to reinforce the area, turning the site into an airtight cage.
At this time.
The Seven-Tails Jinchūriki has slowly awakened.
The Dark Chakra Formula that Akito planted on her was gradually pulsating.
The Seven-Tails Jinchūriki, whose eyes were somewhat glazed over, suddenly had a phantom image appear around him.
This fleeting, illusory image vanished in an instant.
The Akito's excellent dynamic vision allowed him to capture that moment just now.
It's obvious.
That creature that resembled a masked snake was "Zero-Tails".
It possesses both the power of the Seven-Tails and the Zero-Tails within its body, and so far, there has been no conflict.
The Akito breathed a sigh of relief, confirming that he had taken the first step.
He stared at the long, green-haired, sun-kissed girl in front of him.
As mentioned before, Jinchūriki all had very tragic childhoods, which led to a lot of darkness within them.
This darkness accelerated the gestation of Zero-Tails, turning her into the most suitable seedbed.
During the interim period while waiting for the arrival of the diplomats from the Land of Ryu.
Akito closely monitored Zero-Tails's growth.
This concerns his revenge plan to carry out during the upcoming "Nine-Tails' Attack".
Minato Namikaze is also good.
Uzumaki Kushina, it doesn't matter.
Accounts that need to be settled must be settled.
The only problem right now is that when the Seven-Tails Jinchūriki regains consciousness, she might unleash the power of the Seven-Tails.
This is a problem.
Therefore, the best option is to render it powerless as early as possible.
Then.
The Akito took out the medicine and poured it into her mouth again.
The Seven-Tails Jinchūriki fell into a deep sleep once again.
Thump...
The sound of a heartbeat resounded.
Zero-Tails... still brewing.
