Were You the Leader, or Was the Person Calling You Leader the Leader?

Tsunade paused for a moment upon hearing this.

He then chuckled and said, "How could that be? Our Konoha doesn't have the power to meddle in everything. The Shinobi World is all about minding its own business these days."

"The main reason for this meeting is that we heard that Roshi has fled back to Iwagakure, and whether there will be a clash between Akatsuki and Iwagakure."

"Currently, the strongest ninja village among the Five Great Nations is none other than Iwagakure."

???

Kanami was puzzled.

"Iwagakure the strongest? I remember their village didn't even have any Tailed Beast before. I heard that both of their Tailed Beast Host were at odds with Ōnoki and left the village. Even if Roshi goes back now, they'll only have one Tailed Beast."

"That's true, but intelligence indicates that Ōnoki discovered a secret weapon in Cloud Village, a secret of the past Lightning Shadow. I've heard that a full-power attack from it could even destroy the moon!"

Tsunade finished speaking.

Kanami immediately realized what the other party meant by the secret weapon.

Chakra Cannon!

It only appears in the final chapter of the Last: Naruto the Movie.

Unexpectedly, Otsutsuki Toneri arrived ahead of schedule, and even the Chakra Cannon inside was discovered ahead of time.

However, this also explains Cloud Village has been so arrogant since the Third Raikage, and why the Fourth Raikage repeatedly tried to kidnap Hinata Hyuga.

However, the Fourth Raikage died too quickly, Yugito Nii took over as the Fifth Raikage without ever handing over the Chakra Cannon.

After Ōnoki takes over Cloud Village, he will definitely explore every place carefully.

That's how they found the Chakra Cannon.

"Whether this weapon is truly powerful or not is unknown, but such a weapon certainly exists."

Tsunade added further.

Kanami pondered for a moment, then asked, "If Ōnoki really uses that secret weapon to attack the entire Shinobi World, how should we respond?"

Tsunade bitterly. "I don't know. If that day really comes, we'll have no choice but to use the power of the Tailed Beast to fight them."

"You can go back now. There's nothing else you need to do. Get some rest."

Tsunade changed the subject and smiled slightly at Kanami.

That was her honest opinion.

She felt tired just looking at Kanami, even though Kanami hadn't said anything.

"Okay, I'm leaving."

Kanami didn't ask any further questions.

The three of them then disappeared from the office.

"Sigh, if I had known there would be so much going on, I wouldn't have come back. What was the Hokage..."

Tsunade slumped in the Hokage chair, peering at the various documents and files on the table.

On the other side, in Cloud Village).

Ōnoki floated in the air, with the First Tsuchikage, his son Kitsuchi, standing behind him.

Standing before them were several people, all dressed in black robes with red cloud patterns.

"What? The Jinchuriki has already returned to the village, and you still chased him all the way here? Are you trying to start a war?"

Despite his small stature, Ōnoki's imposing presence was in no way diminished, even with his hands behind his back.

The Akatsuki Organization in front of them remained silent.

At this moment, Pain's Deva Path, with his Yellow Short Hair, stepped forward and said calmly, "Akatsuki is an organization that brings peace. Peace requires the power of the Tailed Beast. Hand over the Four-Tails Jinchuriki, and we will leave."

"It seems they really want to go to war with our Iwagakure."

Ōnoki's gaze turned cold.

Nagato, of course, would not back down.

He proclaimed himself God!

How could God retreat?

Just as tensions were running high, and Pain's Deva Path, controlled by Nagato, seemed poised to strike at any moment, Obito Uchiha a low voice. "Leader, don't forget our objective."

Upon hearing this, Pain's Deva Path glanced at him sideways and put aside his idea of resisting.

After all, the other party is the mastermind behind the scenes, bearing the name of Madara Uchiha.

Although Nagato had his own thoughts, he silently backed down after hearing what the other party said.

But others don't know that.

The Ōnoki in front of him was dumbfounded.

What a bizarre turn of events!

Leader, don't forget our purpose?

This doesn't seem like something a member of an organization would say to their leader.

And as the leader, did he really just abandon his dignity like that?

Are you the leader, or is the person who calls you leader the leader?

Thinking of this, Ōnoki's brows furrowed immediately.

He instantly became extremely curious about the purpose behind the Masked Man's words, "Don't forget our purpose."

What could possibly be the reason that prevented the leader from getting angry?

"Tsuchikage-sama, let's cooperate."

Pain's Deva Path spoke again.

This has caught Ōnoki completely off guard. He was just about to start a war, and now they're cooperating?

"Dad, what do we do now?"

The Kitsuchi behind him asked softly.

He was somewhat undecided.

After all, he had only been the Tsuchikage for a few days, about a week, and there were many things he couldn't handle.

This is also why Ōnoki often appears in Cloud Village.

To help her son consolidate his position.

Of course, it was impossible to kill all the villagers of Cloud Village. Their power was simply weakened, and they were relegated to low-level jobs, which in the Shinobi World consisted mainly of Ninja.

Therefore, it is still necessary to gradually gain the acceptance of Kitsuchi among the villagers of Cloud Village. Even if they know in their hearts that Kitsuchi is an invader, through subtle and long-term influence, the rulers will be able to revise the relevant history.

This hatred will soon be gradually forgotten by the first generation of young people.

If Kitsuchi further develops and strengthens Cloud Village during his tenure, making the villagers feel a strong sense of gain and happiness, he can regain the trust of some of the villagers.

In this way, when the second generation of young people emerges as the backbone of the village, the entire Cloud Village will forget that Kitsuchi and his group were once invaders whom the entire Cloud Village hated.

Ōnoki's mission is arduous and far-reaching!

"Don't worry about it, I'll handle it."

Ōnoki responded softly.

Although those following behind him were all trusted confidants of Iwagakure and not any of the Cloud Village's dark-skinned villagers, the Tsuchikage still needed to maintain his prestige.

How can we cooperate?

Floating in the air, Ōnoki stood with his hands behind his back and spoke calmly.

Although he was curious, he didn't show it on the surface.

How to cooperate?

You should ask Madara Uchiha directly, not me.

Nagato, hiding behind Pain's Deva Path's Nagato in the distance, muttered to himself.

However, Obito Uchiha had already told him what to do, but he didn't quite agree with Obito's ideas.

Nagato had absolutely no desire to hear anything about win-win cooperation or reaping the benefits.

He, the God! He only wants to fight, to destroy everything with divine power, and to seek true peace in destruction.

"You hand over the Four-Tails to us, and the Akatsuki Organization will do things for you."

Nagato reluctantly manipulated Pain's Deva Path to speak.

Upon hearing this, Ōnoki paused for a moment in surprise.

Does what they're saying mean... that they want to become our affiliated organization?

He felt a vague unease.

Especially the masked man next to him.

Instead of answering directly, he continued, "What can you do for us?"

"Unify the Shinobi World," Pain's Deva Path replied calmly.

Unify the Shinobi World?!
