The atmosphere in the private room grew tense once again.
Even Kusana looked somewhat helplessly at Lord Hanzō. Lord Hanzō was doing this on purpose, wasn't he?
He was definitely doing it on purpose.
Thinking about it, it made sense... After the Second Great Ninja War ended, once Lord Hanzō realized Amegakure was no match for the Five Great Ninja Villages, he had wanted to negotiate with the Five Kage and spare the Land of Rain from the suffering of war.
However.
He had proposed it to the Five Kage many times, but back then, the Five Great Ninja Villages could barely stand the sight of one another. The Land of Rain was also a vital passage between the Three Great Nations, so no one paid Lord Hanzō any attention at all.
So now that he had finally caught an opportunity, Lord Hanzō definitely wanted to disgust the Four Kage a little.
Even Kabuto beside them had probably guessed as much. He happily ate the food, smiling at the Four Kage without saying a word.
After all...
This was Kusagakure~
Anyone who had mastered the Spirit of Grass in reverse knew... when friends came from afar, since they were already here...
Either everyone ate at the banquet together, or they would eat at the banquet themselves!
The Four Great Ninja Villages had never had a choice in this Five Kage summit from the very beginning!
And at that moment.
The hot-tempered Fourth Raikage's face immediately darkened. He stopped wasting time and said directly, "Leader Mang, just say what Kusagakure wants!" Then, after a slight pause, he added, "No one can threaten a Kage!"
"This old man has already prepared to sacrifice himself!" Even the Third Tsuchikage—Ōnoki—stared at Kusana. "As Kage... we do not fear death! Leader Mang~"
The Third Hokage—Hiruzen
