Just when Takenaka Kaguya was scolding everyone in the office, he was in the North Blue area west of Land of Whirlpools, only more than twenty miles away from Uzushiogakure.
Dozens of large ships capable of carrying three to five hundred people are parked here, with many different flags hanging on the masts.
Of course, among all the flags, the most conspicuous ones are the three flags representing Land of Wind Sunagakure, Land of Lightning representing Kumogakure, and Land of Earth representing Iwagakure.
In addition to these three flags, there are also flags of many small countries, such as Land of Iron, Land of Artisans, Land of Birds, Land of Grass...
There are more than twenty different flags, representing more than twenty Ninja villages or countries gathered here.
Not only that, on each ship, there were as many as five or six hundred Ninjas, and as few as more than a hundred people. Such a large number of Ninjas seemed to tell that a war was about to begin.
"Hoo!"
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, blowing the flags on each ship. Along with the murderous aura emanating from the ninjas on the ship, the entire sea area was shrouded in the clouds of war.
At this time, on the deck of the big ship with the Kumogakure logo, there was a conference table that could seat dozens of people. At the main seat, sat a tall, muscular, middle-aged man who looked very strong. The aura exuding from him was enough to show that he was a strong man with the strength of Peak Kage-level.
And he is none other than Kumogakure Third Raikage Ay, the strongest Raikage in the history of Kumogakure.
To his left, a man wearing a bamboo hat with the word "wind" on his head was sitting upright. He had blue hair and yellow eyes. He was wearing a white Kazekage robe lined with blue Ninja clothes. He also exuded the aura that a strong Kage Level man should have. Not only that, his eyes were sharp and murderous, and he knew he was not easy to mess with at a glance.
And this person is Sunagakure Third Kazekage.
With Kekkei Genkai·Magnet Release: Iron Sand, Third Kazekage can freely control things containing iron, and can also freely control iron in the sand.
His special physique can convert the highly condensed Chakra into magnetism. Iron Sand can arbitrarily change into various forms for attack and defense. It is Sunagakure's most terrifying weapon. Once it invades the body of a person or puppet, it can completely paralyze it.
In addition, because Chakra of Third Kazekage is magnetic, magnetic weapons cannot have any impact on him. With this terrifying Kekkei Genkai, Third Kazekage also won the title of "The Strongest Kazekage in History".
As for the position to the right of Ay, there is a very short middle-aged man sitting. From the bamboo hat with the word "tu" on his head, you can tell that this person is Iwagakure Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki with the title of Ōnoki of the Two Scales.
Although Ōnoki looks rather cheerful, with a big nose in the middle of the face and a very short stature. It is equipped with a red scarf on the upper part and a separate green striped waistcoat on the lower part. It looks very funny because it flutters in the wind when flying. However, no one around him dares to look down upon it.
After all, he can fly freely in the air and is proficient in Kekkei Tōta·Dust Release. His terrifying decomposition ability is even more powerful than Kekkei Genkai. Who dares to make fun of Ōnoki, such a strong Kage Level, because of his short stature?
In addition to them, the identities of the people sitting around this conference table are also not simple. They include the leader of a small country, Daimyo, and the leader of Ninja village. The worst of them are all businessmen Jonin who can represent a force.
"Everyone, since everyone is gathered here, it means that everyone has made a decision and must have realized that they may die, so let's not waste time.
The target Uzushiogakure this time is the Ninja village that has risen the fastest in recent years. Its economic development speed is not comparable to that of Konoha Yin Village today. It can be said that because of the existence of Uzushiogakure, the economic income of each of our villages has lost at least 10% or more.
Especially for task delegation, I believe everyone has a deep understanding. Nowadays, if nobles, chambers of commerce, etc. from various countries want to release the Ninja task, their first choice will be Uzushiogakure. Only when Uzushiogakure cannot complete it, or because the distance is too far, will they reluctantly give the task to others.
Therefore, if things continue like this, Uzushiogakure will become stronger and stronger, and although we Five Great Shinobi Villages will also be affected, it will not be fatal. But what about you Ninja villages, I don't think I need to tell you what will happen?"
Suddenly, Third Raikage Ay stood up, glanced at everyone present, and said loudly.
As soon as these words came out, many people looked worried, but they still nodded and agreed with Ay's statement.
Next to him, Ōnoki also spoke at this moment, "I don't know what the situation is like in other hidden villages. Anyway, our Iwagakure's commissioned tasks have been decreasing year by year over the years. Compared with the time when the task income was the highest, the income has now been reduced by 20%.
If it is not stopped, it will definitely decrease gradually in the future, and by then we will not even be able to raise Ninja in the village."
"The situation of our Sunagakure is even more serious. Because of the existence of Uzushiogakure, the amount of commissioned tasks for our Sunagakure has been reduced by about half. In addition, our Land of Wind has poor land and few resources, so it is time to make changes." Third Kazekage also spoke in agreement.
The shadow of the Three Hidden Villages directly set the tone. Naturally, everyone here would not object. Even if they had other ideas in mind, they would not be ignorant at this time and jump out to be the leader.
After taking a look, no one objected. Ay turned to look at Third Kazekage, then at Ōnoki, and then asked Ōnoki: "Tsuchikage, you said before that Konoha would help us. Is this information really reliable?"
Ōnoki was about to answer when he heard Third Kazekage on the opposite side also say, "Yes, I also want to know whether Konoha will take action.
After all, just one Uzushiogakure is already very troublesome. Their Sealing Jutsu and huge Chakra make us afraid to bring Jinchuriki who may go berserk at any time.
At this time, once we start a war with Uzushiogakure, if Konohagakure, who is an ally with Uzushiogakure, stabs us in the back and starts a war with us in the back, then we will be attacked from both sides.
Moreover, this is if the man who has not heard from us for many years does not take action. Once that man takes action, we will be in danger of annihilation."
As soon as he finished speaking, other people also looked over, especially when they heard Third Kazekage say that man, their heartbeats were a little uncontrollable.
After all, when they think of that man who is as powerful as a god, no one can think of resisting.
Therefore, everyone is eager to know whether Konoha will help, and what kind of help it will bring.
Looking at everyone's eyes, Ōnoki didn't say anything, just smiled slightly, and then clapped his hands gently.
Everyone was confused and didn't understand what Ōnoki was doing.
However, the next second, in the cabin behind them, one was seen holding a cane, one eye had been wrapped with gauze, and the aura emanating from the whole person made people feel cold and uncomfortable.
Behind this man, there are two guards, whose strength cannot be underestimated.
"Shimura Danzō, it's actually him!"
"Darkness of the Shinobi World? He's actually here!"
"..."
Yes, the person who came was none other than Shimura Danzō. He walked straight to the conference table and slammed the crutch in his hand onto the ground. In an instant, the thick deck was pierced by him.
"Although we, Konoha, will not act openly and honestly, Yamato will all attack Uzushiogakure together, but you can rest assured that we, Konoha, will definitely come up with something that will make you feel at ease.
Haha, even if the man you are afraid of comes forward, you don't need to worry at all." Shimura Danzō glanced at everyone with cold eyes, and then said something that surprised everyone.
No, as soon as he finished speaking, a young samurai wearing green laminated armor and a samurai sword at his waist stood up and asked, "Danzo, can you be responsible for your words?
As allies of the Uzushiogakure alliance, you should know better than all of us here how terrifying the strength of Takenaka Kaguya, known as New Generation God of Shinobi, is.
Not to mention now, even your Konoha's First Hokage Hashirama Senju might not dare to say this, right?"
"Yes, Shimura Danzō, it's not that I believe you, but everyone here knows very well that although there has been no news from New Generation God of Shinobi for many years, his strength must have become more and more terrifying.
Therefore, if you want us to believe what you say, please provide us with convincing evidence now." Daimyo of Land of Birds echoed.
Beside them, the leader of Kusagakure also nodded and said, "If you want to convince us, please provide evidence to prove that what you say is true.
Otherwise, I am more likely to believe that you appear here just to cooperate with Uzushiogakure inside and outside, and to catch us all in one go.
After all, you Konoha and Uzushiogakure have been allies since before you Konoha were established, and for so many years, we have never heard of any unpleasantness happening between you Konoha and Uzushiogakure."
As soon as this statement came out, many people immediately nodded in agreement.
They are also very worried. After all, just like the leader of Kusagakure said, what if this is a conspiracy, a conspiracy specifically targeting them, with the purpose of catching them all?
This possibility is not impossible, and the possibility is very high. As long as Konoha and Uzushiogakure join forces, one is in front and the other is behind, and the timing is chosen well, there is a complete chance of keeping them all in the sea to feed the fish.
Listening to everyone's busy discussion, Shimura Danzō didn't have any intention of explaining on his face. In the main seat, Ay frowned and looked at Ōnoki, wanting to know what Ōnoki meant.
Sensing Ay's gaze, Ōnoki gave him a calm look. Then he saw Ōnoki's body floating on the chair. He chuckled and said, "Okay, don't worry, everyone. Since Konoha's people are here, they will definitely give everyone an explanation."
After the words fell, everyone was quiet, and their eyes fell back on Shimura Danzō again.
At this moment, facing everyone's doubtful and suspicious eyes, Shimura Danzō snorted. Although he didn't want to expose his trump card so early, in order to make these people work together to deal with Uzushiogakure, he could only show something first.
"You should have heard that our Second Hokage once invented a forbidden technique named Impure World Reincarnation, right?" Shimura Danzō explained reluctantly.
"Impure World Reincarnation? What kind of ninjutsu is this?"
Instantly, some people who didn't know the Impure World Reincarnation forbidden technique hurriedly asked.
However, more people know about this forbidden technique. When Hashirama Senju was still around, Tobirama Senju had already invented this forbidden technique, and during the war that ended Warring States Period, Ninja in the hidden villages saw the horror of this forbidden technique.
Unfortunately, after Warring States Period ended, Hashirama Senju felt that allowing Tobirama Senju to use this technique again would disturb the souls of the deceased, so he banned the technique directly.
However, it is forbidden, but the forbidden technique Impure World Reincarnation, Daimyo, is known to many people.
Soon, some people who knew Impure World Reincarnation explained it. After listening to this explanation, when everyone looked at Shimura Danzō, their eyes were full of surprise and relief.
Yes, it is peace of mind.
Although Shimura Danzō didn't explicitly say who he would use the forbidden technique of Impure World Reincarnation to get out, you can guess it with your big toe.
In the entire Shinobi World, from Warring States Period to the present, there are only two people recognized as God of Shinobi. One is the current God of Shinobi Takenaka Kaguya, which is also the biggest obstacle and worry for this attack on Uzushiogakure.
And the other one is naturally First Hokage Hashirama Senju.
Moreover, compared to Takenaka Kaguya who seldom took action, Hashirama Senju who teamed up with Madara Uchiha to end the millennium-long Warring States Period made everyone present feel at ease.
When they thought that Takenaka Kaguya, the biggest hidden danger and obstacle, would be dealt with by someone, the worries on everyone's faces dissipated a lot.
No, Ay in the main seat showed a satisfied look on his face, looked at Shimura Danzō and said, "Since Konoha will take action to stop Takenaka Kaguya, then this time War of Annihilation against Uzushio, I have confidence in my heart.
Everyone, do you still have any worries? You might as well say it now."
"As long as Takenaka Kaguya doesn't take action, we Sunagakure will have no problem." Third Kazekage nodded.
Ōnoki also smiled and said, "We Iwagakure have no problem."
"No problem."
"We also agree..."
For a time, everyone reached a consensus.
However, just when everyone was rejoicing, Shimura Danzō spoke. He glanced at everyone and said in a deep voice, "Since everyone is fine, let's talk about what benefits we, Konoha, can get from War of Annihilation against Uzushio!
After all, if we Konoha don't take action, you probably won't dare to go to war with Uzushiogakure, so if we Konoha do our part, we will naturally be rewarded accordingly."
