Greed Blinds
"Oh? Since the Raikage is so confident, then let's wait and see. The Akatsuki are no pushovers. Kumogakure should be careful not to lose more than they gain."
Greedy and foolish, these are truly barbarians of Kumogakure. It seems Kirigakure can prepare to reap the benefits. Analyzing the intelligence from Xia, these guys are definitely no match for the Akatsuki in terms of high-level strength. Trying to take lives to save any Akatsuki leader is basically a dead end.
However, it's good to use the Akatsuki to eliminate the resistance forces in these three countries, so that when we take over the territory, there won't be a large number of people resisting and waging guerrilla warfare.
"Hmph, no need for the Mizukage to worry about that. Those Akatsuki guys are indeed quite strong, but we, the major ninja villages, are not to be trifled with when we unite. We were just fighting separately before, which gave them an opening." Mizukage's tone... could these Kirigakure be planning to reap the benefits later? It seems we need to be wary of them.
"Since they don't intend to participate in this operation against Akatsuki, there's no need for Konoha and Kirigakure to stay." Since these two sides don't plan to participate, it's best to exclude them from the upcoming battle plan to prevent any unforeseen circumstances. Otherwise, if these two guys leak specific information to Akatsuki, our side will inevitably be caught in a tough battle.
If Konoha and Kirigakure out and reap the benefits, wouldn't we all be wasting our time and energy, only to have those two treacherous forces do all the work for us? This absolutely cannot happen. Even if we're going to war with Akatsuki, we have to guard against these two forces launching a sneak attack from behind.
"Heh, there's no need for him to stay? Ōnoki, you've got quite the nerve. Do you think your Iwagakure can wipe out Konoha and Kirigakure?" Tsunade, fixing her paper armor, looked at the short old man on her left with disdain.
"Uh, Fifth Hokage, you misunderstand. What I meant was that you can go back now. What follows is a secret operation for our three-nation alliance." Was Lady Tsunade genuinely clueless or pretending? I've made it so obvious, and she still wants to linger?
"Hmph, who cares to stay? A bunch of rabble. Chojuro, Ao, let's go." Pregnant Terumi Mei yawned, stretched lazily, got up, and led her subordinates away without looking back.
"Hmm, the Fifth Mizukage is right. They really are a bunch of rabble. Shizune, Kakashi, let's go too." Based on his many years of medical experience, Terumi Mei's condition was very strange. As the Fifth Mizukage, her own strength should definitely be at the Kage Level, not to mention the enhancement and help from Gen.
With that kind of strength, even if he didn't sleep for days and nights, he shouldn't be yawning so much. From the time the meeting started until now, this Fifth Mizukage has looked completely listless. Is the administration in Kirigakure really that busy? Luckily, I have Shikaku to help me.
"Are you two bastards Kumogakure?!" Seeing the two groups of people get up and leave, the hot-tempered Raikage stood up and was about to chase after them.
"Sit down. Now is not the time to offend them. The Akatsuki matter is the most important thing."
Seeing the Raikage about to attack in a fit of rage, Ōnoki quickly stopped him from his reckless act.
"Hmph, just two short-sighted women. Raikage, calm down. There's no need to bother with them. Let's use this time to discuss the specific details of the battle. After all, Akatsuki's stronghold was once the home of Demigod of the Ninja World."
Given the size of Sunagakure, they would have to plan carefully if they wanted to profit from this operation. Judging from the way Ōnoki was exchanging glances with the Raikage just now, he would probably renege on the deal regarding the distribution of the Tailed Beast afterward.
Hmph, do they think they can bully my Sunagakure because they lack the strength to uphold the contract? It seems I'll have to make a trip to Konoha afterward. If I offer some benefits to Konoha, I believe Lady Tsunade will be happy to join forces with me to pressure the Rock and Lightning Villages and force them to acknowledge the contract.
Having just experienced a major battle, the two villages will definitely not underestimate the threat posed by the combined forces of Sunagakure and Konoha.
"The Fourth Kazekage is right. The Land of Rain is not a barren land. The distribution of the Tailed Beast after the war is secondary; the land of the Land of Rain is the real prize." Although the Land of Land of Earth has a lot of territory, if the Land of Rain, a strategic location, can be controlled, it will undoubtedly provide a significant advantage in the future Ninja World War.
"Our Land of Lightning and the Land of Rain do not share a border. We can make concessions on land, but we must be compensated in terms of Tailed Beast and resources." The Land of Land of Lightning is located in the northeast, separated from the Land of Rain by the entire Land of Fire. Such an enclave, far from the mainland and situated in the midst of Third Great Ninja War, is useless to us. It would be better to exchange it for something else that would benefit the development of the Land of Lightning.
"The Land of Wind wants one of the three extra Tailed Beast, and the Land of Rain wants one-third of its Land of Wind. This is our bottom line for participating in the war."
Rasa initially wanted to give up the Tailed Beast in exchange for more than half of the Land of Rain as compensation, but considering that both the Rock and Lightning Villages would have two or even three Tailed Beast after this battle, his own one -One-Tail was indeed insufficient.
Moreover, that old guy Ōnoki now has designs on the Land of Rain, and they probably won't agree to him asking for too much land.
"Since the Fourth Kazekage has said so, our Iwagakure can do without the Tailed Beast, but the remaining land of the Land of Rain will belong to our Land of Earth. The Land of Lightning can take two more Tailed Beast as compensation."
Rasa's got some big ambitions, wanting both the land Tailed Beast? Doesn't he know what kind of people the Land of Wind is? Fine, I'll agree for now, and the rest will depend on our strength.
"Yes, let's do it this way. The Land of Lightning has no objection." Landing is out of the question, but we can get the Tailed Beast that the Land of Wind took afterward. Then, the Land of Lightning will possess all five Tailed Beasts in the entire Ninja World. With that kind of fighting power, as long as we focus on developing it for a generation, it's only a matter of time before the Kumogakure defeats the Konoha Village and becomes the strongest Ninja World.
Under the witness of Mifune, the leader of the Land of Iron, the Mifune of Earth, Lightning, and Wind signed a series of operational plans in Akatsuki Land of Iron to target the Akatsuki, an evil force in the Ninja World.

"Fifth Mizukage, is something wrong with your health? My Medical Ninjutsu is known Lady Tsunade the Ninja World. Shall I take a look?" Could this woman be pregnant? How long has Gen been with her? He's not even pregnant yet, how could she be? Her 'wealth' isn't even as big as mine!
"Thank you for your kindness, Hokage, but I know my own body well. I won't trouble you, the sage of the Ninja World." The Genin world is currently in a period of turmoil, and it's best to keep as few people as possible aware of my pregnancy.
