Land of Iron's Sanlang Mountain, snowflakes were falling outside the quaint conference hall.
The venue of Five Kage Summit was solemnly decorated, with chairs representing Five Great Nations placed around the huge round table.
Nagato slowly walked into the venue with Konan, Yuki-onna and Kisame. He was wearing a black robe, Red Cloud Emblem was looming on his chest, and Rinnegan calmly glanced at the representatives of various countries present.
"Land of Whirlpools's delegation has arrived." Land of Iron's samurai commander announced.
Raikage stood up suddenly, his burly body exuding an oppressive aura. His eyes were locked on Nagato, and his fists clenched loudly.
"Are you the Pain who attacked Kumogakure?" Raikage's voice was so deep it could crush the mountain.
The venue instantly fell into dead silence. Kazekage Gaara raised his head slightly, Mizukage Mei Terumi stopped fiddling with his nails, and even Tsuchikage Ōnoki, who had always been calm, narrowed his eyes.
Nagato did not avoid Raikage's gaze, but took the initiative to walk towards the conference table. "I am Nagato of Land of Whirlpools. As for what happened in the past, I think Lord Raikage knows the causes and consequences better than me."
"The cause and effect?" Raikage stepped in front of Nagato, and the distance between the two was less than one meter. "You captured Yugito Nii from our village! A Perfect Jinchuriki disappeared like this. Do you know how much combat power Kumogakure lost?"
Konan wanted to step forward, but Nagato raised his hand to stop him.
Nagato's Rinnegan began to rotate slowly, and the lavender pupil power spread like a tide. The temperature of the entire venue instantly dropped a few degrees, and everyone present felt the pressure from Six Paths Power.
"Lord Raikage." Nagato's voice was unhurried, "Enemies in the past can be allies in the future. But the poisonous snakes lurking in the dark must be uprooted first. We are gathered here today not to settle old scores, but to face real threats."
Gaara stroked the gourd gently, with a flash of interest in his eyes. This man's pattern is indeed unusual.
Tsuchikage Ōnoki coughed, and an old voice echoed in the venue, "Nagato is right. But I think that in order to resist foreign aggression, we must first settle the domestic affairs. If the problem of rebellion and tolerance among countries is not solved, how can we talk about uniting against the enemy?"
Nagato was keenly aware of the problem in Tsuchikage's words. According to the information provided by Yuki-onna, Shadow Organization's Modification Technology needs a large number of rebel ninjas as experimental materials. Tsuchikage's proposal to wipe out the rebel ninjas is reasonable on the surface, but in fact it is providing convenience to Shadow Organization.
"Lord Tsuchikage's concerns are reasonable." Nagato nodded, "But the Shadow Organization we are facing is taking advantage of various countries' pursuit of traitorous ninjas to obtain experimental materials. If we act according to conventional ideas, we will only fall into their trap."
Raikage snorted coldly, "That's so high-sounding! Then how do you, Land of Whirlpools, take in Mist Village, a traitor?"
He pointed at Kisame: "Kisame Hoshigaki, Kirigakure S-rank is one of the rebels, Seven Ninja Swordsmen. Land of Whirlpools sheltering such dangerous elements is a threat to Five Great Nations's security!"
Kisame grinned, showing a mouth full of sharp teeth. He stood up slowly, and Samehada made a low buzzing sound behind him.
"Lord Raikage." Kisame's voice carried a dangerous tone, "I am indeed Mist Village's rebellious ninja, but now I only fight for Land of Whirlpools. Anyone who touches me is an enemy of Land of Whirlpools."
He untied Samehada's bandage, revealing the monstrous broadsword covered with barbs. The terrifying Chakra Devour ability spread instantly, and everyone present felt threatened.
"That's enough!" Mizukage Mei Terumi slammed the table and stood up, "Kisame, do you think you're still Kirigakure?"
Lava Release and Chakra condensed in her hands, and the highly acidic liquid dripped from her fingertips, instantly corroding the tabletop.
The atmosphere at the venue instantly became tense. Thunder and lightning flashed on Raikage's body, Tsuchikage Ōnoki was suspended in the air, preparing to perform a spell, and even Gaara, who had always been calm, let the sand flow slowly around him.
"Everyone!" Land of Iron's samurai commander shouted to stop, "This is the land of a neutral country! Please calm down!"
Nagato did not stop Kisame, but the pressure in Rinnegan became more solemn. In this confrontation, he seemed particularly calm.
"It seems that everyone has a lot of opinions on the issue of traitors." Nagato looked around and said, "In this case, I propose to establish a joint supervision mechanism. All countries will share information on traitors, unify the hunting standards, and cut off Shadow Organization's source of personnel."
Tsuchikage Ōnoki An unnatural look flashed in his eyes, but he quickly covered it up. "This proposal is worth considering, but it may be difficult to implement."
"Difficulty?" Gaara said, "Sunagakure is willing to cooperate with this plan. The issue of rebellion and tolerance really needs to be solved in a unified way."
Raikage looked at the surrounding situation and reluctantly put Lightning Release away. "Huh, let's hear the specific plan first."
Kisame saw this and wrapped Samehada again, but his shark-like eyes were still observing everyone vigilantly.
Mizukage Mei Terumi sat back on the chair gracefully, but Lava Release's Chakra did not completely disperse.
"Very good." Nagato nodded, "Then let's start with the known information of Shadow Organization. Yuki-onna, tell everyone the information you collected."
Yuki-onna stood up slowly, but just when she was about to speak, her face suddenly turned pale.
"What's wrong?" Konan asked with concern.
"There is a very familiar Chakra." Yuki-onna's voice was trembling, "It is very similar to the Shadow Organization member who transformed me."
Her eyes searched the venue and finally stopped in a certain direction. But strangely, that direction was not the location of Tsuchikage.
Nagato immediately became alert, and Rinnegan began to scan the entire venue. In addition to the powerful Kage Level present, there were also guards and recorders from various countries, as well as Land of Iron's warriors.
"Where?" Nagato asked in a low voice.
Yuki-onna shook his head. "The breath is very weak, and it is constantly moving. The opponent is very cunning and knows how to hide."
At this moment, the door to the conference room was pushed open, and a middle-aged man wearing Leaf Forehead Protector walked in.
"Sorry for being late." The person who came was none other than Acting Hokage Shimura Danzō from Leaf. "We encountered some minor troubles on the way."
Gaara's eyes instantly became complicated. This person was the person Kakashi had warned.
Danzo looked around, his eyes stayed on Nagato for a moment, and then walked to the seat belonging to Hokage.
"It seems that everyone is having a heated discussion." Danzo said after sitting down, "I wonder how it went?"
Tsuchikage Ōnoki smiled, "We are discussing the issue of rebellion. Danzo, how do you think it should be handled?"
"Of course the rebels must be eliminated." Danzo's voice was filled with unquestionable majesty, "Leaf is willing to provide Root's power to assist in the hunt."
