"Of course I'm not concerned about that. From everything Uchiha Yū has done, I can sense that something major is about to happen. Deidara is still too young, and with his impulsive personality, I'm worried he won't be able to bear the pressure. In the end, the village could fall into someone else's hands."
The village would certainly endure, but who would control its future development was Ōnoki's greatest worry. After all, he had spent his entire life painstakingly building the village. If it ended up in an outsider's hands, Ōnoki would always feel dissatisfied.
"You'll be in the ground in a few years. Why worry about such things? At the very least, the younger generation won't face any threats. It would be good enough if they could live out their lives safely."
Ebizo tried to talk him around. At their age, power and wealth no longer mattered. They had already enjoyed everything there was to enjoy. The only thing they still cared about was the younger generation left in their villages, and they hoped to pave the way for them while they were still alive.
Ōnoki let out a sigh, then closed his eyes and lay back in the hot spring, no longer arguing with him about it.
The postwar Five Kage Summit produced two very different reactions. Sunagakure's delegation acted as though they did not care at all, sightseeing and enjoying themselves along the way before arriving on the final day of the deadline.
Kirigakure arrived immediately, filled with unease. Minato Namikaze, meanwhile, traveled with Kushina as though they were on their honeymoon. Iwagakure caused the greatest commotion along the way, with Deidara leaving countless clay bombs behind and forcing the group of ninja traveling with him to constantly apologize to others.
Fortunately, they all obeyed their orders.
