Soon, the exclusive communication and television connections of the Five Great Nations Feudal Lord were established.

The five Feudal Lord can see each other.

The Daimyo of the Land of Lightning spoke first, questioning, "Daimyo of the Land of Earth, what's going on? Your Iwagakure Ninja have surrounded our Cloud Village! Are you preparing to wage war?!"

The Daimyo of the Land of Earth picked up his Small Fan and casually glanced at him:

"It wasn't us who wanted to start it. We heard that the Cloud Village is attacking the Konoha with the entire village's strength. It was you who wanted to start the Ninja World War."

"As the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning, don't you intend to give the rest of us an explanation? It was stipulated long ago that any large-scale war in the Shinobi World could only be launched with the consent of all five of us."

This has always been the method used by the Five Great Nations Feudal Lord to control various resources in the Shinobi World. When development is basically stable, war is needed to break the balance and make the ninja villages feel the crisis of resource shortage.

This would make it easier for the Feudal Lord to assign tasks, making the ninja villages feel that they could not survive without the Feudal Lord issuing tasks, thus consolidating their long-term control of the regime.

To prevent any Ninja in the ninja village from awakening, they even abolished cultural schools from the village, making cultural courses only available to Feudal Lord and Noble.

Therefore, in every major war, regardless of which ninja village ultimately wins, the biggest beneficiaries are always these few Feudal Lord.

The Daimyo of the Land of Lightning was immediately rendered speechless.

He didn't know how to refute the Daimyo of the Land of Earth.

He would never proactively reveal that the Cloud Village had secretly launched a war behind his back.

This incident only makes him, the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning, look incredibly incompetent. An entire ninja village mobilized, yet he, as the Feudal Lord, was kept in the dark.

"The Daimyo of the Land of Earth, calm down. When has the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning ever been so humiliated? Look at you, he's too scared to say a word after you've insulted him."

The Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire joked.

Given the Daimyo of the Land of Fire's usual timid nature, he would never dare to speak like that.

However, in this war, the Konoha Village of the Land of Fire, as the retaliatory ninja village, was able to achieve a great victory, which truly gave him the confidence to speak.

That's why, after he said those words, neither the usually powerful Daimyo of the Land of Lightning nor the Daimyo of the Land of Earth immediately retaliated.

After all, the strength of a country's ninja village represents the strength of that country.

This is the distinctive feature of "one country, one village".

As for the remaining Daimyo of the Land of Wind and the Daimyo of the Land of Water, they have basically remained silent.

They've been at the bottom year after year, so they have nothing to brag about. Every year they're ridiculed Feudal Lord the other three major powers.

This time, the Daimyo of the Land of Wind benefited from the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, so things were somewhat better for him.

At least he can manage a slight smile in front of the Daimyo of the Land of Water.

"Daimyo of the Land of Lightning, did the Cloud Village secretly attack the Konoha Village behind your back?"

The Daimyo of the Land of Earth asked a question he already knew the answer to.

He had already figured it out from the expression on the face of the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning; the other party was definitely unaware of this matter, and therefore didn't even dare to utter a rebuttal.

His question caused the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning to turn even redder.

The Daimyo of the Land of Earth laughed heartily, "Haha, I never expected that as Feudal Lord, I couldn't even find a single intelligence gatherer in the village."

In the past, the Lightning Shadow was Brawler, but he would always report to the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning before doing anything, so that he would know what he was going to do.

Who would have thought that the Fifth Raikage, Yugito Nii, only inherited the brute force!

The entire village has mobilized to fight for the Fourth Raikage's revenge!

The Daimyo of the Land of Fire feigned surprise and said, "The Fifth Raikage of Cloud Village has such a strong ability to rally people? He single-handedly rallied the entire village?"

"It's not so much that the Fifth Raikage had strong appeal, but rather that the Fourth Raikage had such strong cohesion that a newly appointed Lightning Shadow could rally the entire village to wage war against Konoha."

The Daimyo of the Land of Wind analyzed:

"Fortunately, they failed. If they had succeeded this time, they would have realized that they could control the village even without Feudal Lord."

As soon as he finished speaking, the other four Feudal Lord nodded in agreement.

If they succeed, their Feudal Lord- standing rule will be in jeopardy.

"Don't be mute, speak up."

The Daimyo of the Land of Earth coldly observed the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning.

"Yes, just as you suspected, the Cloud Village defied my permission, launched a war without authorization, suffered near-total annihilation, and even lost its Tailed Beast."

The Daimyo of the Land of Lightning gritted his teeth and said.

Now that things have come to this, even if he doesn't want to admit it, he can guess the other Feudal Lord.

"Hmph, we could have kept them in check before, but now we've lost two Tailed Beast, and they've all fallen into Konoha's hands!"

"Now Konoha is going to become the strongest ninja village in the Warring States period again. If another Kage-level ninja like Madara Uchiha appears, the Fourth Great Ninja War could break out at any time!"

The Feudal Lord all realized the problem.

Compared to the four Feudal Lord who looked worried and distressed, the Daimyo of the Land of Fire seemed much more relaxed.

After all, Konoha Village is a ninja village in the Land of Fire.

However, if Konoha Village were to achieve a crushing victory in the Fourth Great Ninja War, and the Feudal Lord system of the other Four Great Nations were overthrown, then he, the only Feudal Lord without martial prowess, would still be in a precarious situation.

If even one person among the high-ranking officials of Konoha Village makes a single comment about overthrowing the Feudal Lord, he will be removed from his position.

"Daimyo of the Land of Earth, the most important thing now is to quickly recall the Iwagakure Ninja!"

The Daimyo of the Land of Lightning said grimly, "If they successfully invade Cloud Village, the balance of power among the Five Great Nations will be disrupted!"

"Hmph, isn't this all because of your incompetence!"

The Daimyo of the Land of Earth let out a cold snort.

The Daimyo of the Land of Lightning had been looming over him for a long time, and he had long harbored resentment.

Therefore, he was aware that Ōnoki had dispatched Iwa ninja to surround Cloud Village.

The Daimyo of the Land of Lightning cried out anxiously, "This time it was indeed my fault, but that's not important now! Afterwards, whatever resources you want from the Land of Lightning, we can discuss it slowly, but this matter can't be delayed! They must be evacuated immediately!"

"Cough cough."

At that moment, the Daimyo of the Land of Fire coughed lightly.

The Daimyo of the Land of Lightning's expression darkened, and he slightly clenched his fist. "I know, I will also compensate you, the Land of Fire, in great detail."

"Alright, in that case, I'll go and have the Tsuchikage withdraw."

Having obtained what he wanted, the Daimyo of the Land of Earth wasted no more time and disconnected the communication and television.

The other Feudal Lord then hung up the communication as well.

Hmph, if we don't do this, how can we make your barbarian lands bleed profusely?

The Daimyo of the Land of Earth, who had ended the video call, quickly reconnected with the Iwagakure's communication and television systems.

Sizzle--

The televisions on both sides are connected.

"Feudal Lord- sama." The Third Tsuchikage, Ōnoki, floated in the air and greeted the Daimyo of the Land of Earth.

The Daimyo of the Land of Earth felt a sudden jolt in his heart, his eyes narrowing slightly.

In the past, whenever Ōnoki saw him again, he would always bow his head and greet him.

At this moment, Ōnoki not only did not lower his head, but even floated up, seemingly wanting to look down on him!

"You're holding your head too high, Tsuchikage."
