The news that Ōnoki decided to participate in Five Kage Summit soon reached Amegakure.
When Chiya got the news, he was checking the map near Takigakure.
White Zetsu has not found Seven-Tails Jinchuriki yet. Two-Tails and Eight-Tails are both in Kumogakure, Nine-Tails has separated from Konoha, and the remaining Tailed Beasts are more troublesome than the last.
Chiya After reading the contents on the paper, his eyes stopped on the last line.
Iwagakure confirms participation.
Black Zetsu has been investigating Five Kage Summit for the past few days, and only returned to Amegakure today.
It came out of Chiya's sleeve.
"Danzo is very well prepared."
"He sent Iwagakure and Hidden Cloud Village a lot of information about you, as well as photos of your contact with Three-Tails."
Chiya is not surprising.
He put the paper on the table.
"How long will the talks last?"
"Six days."
Black Zetsu looked at Chiya.
Since getting the news, Chiya has been staring at the map without speaking again. It wasn't until a while later that he reached out and closed the map.
"Where is Iron Country?"
Black Zetsu was stunned for a moment.
"Are you ready to go?"
Chiya nodded.
Black Zetsu quickly figured out what Chiya was going to do.
"There is no need yet."
"The evidence in Danzo's hands can only prove that you have been in contact with Tailed Beasts, but it cannot prove the relationship between you and Xiao. Mei Terumi and Gaara will not believe him easily."
"As long as you continue to hide in the dark, Five Great Nations will not be able to find you in a short time. Once all the remaining Tailed Beasts fall into Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, it will be too late to do anything else."
Black Zetsu paused.
"Your personal appearance at Five Kage Summit will confirm Danzo's accusation against you."
Of course Chiya understands these things.
If he continues to stay in the dark, he can help Akatsuki collect Tailed Beasts, or he can keep an eye on Rinnegan of Pain. Even if Five Great Nations wants to deal with him, he can't find his whereabouts.
That is a more prudent approach.
But Chiya looked at the words "Danzo" on the information, and suddenly felt bored in his heart.
He originally had no intention of paying attention to the meeting.
If Danzo wants to use Five Kage's hand to deal with him, then let him do it. As long as Chiya remains hidden in the dark, it will be difficult for the so-called evidence to truly threaten him.
But this clown has lived long enough.
From forcing himself to leave Konoha, to secretly invading Sand Village, and now summoning Five Kage, Danzo hides in Hokage's position time and time again, using the name of Konoha to pour all the dirty water on him.
Chiya didn't kill him before because he still had scruples and didn't want to completely oppose Konoha.
Now, those scruples are meaningless.
Chiya closed his eyes, and the figure of Kaguya traveling alone in different spaces appeared in his mind again.
The time she leaves for herself may be far less than she thinks.
He has no interest in continuing to play with Danzo.
"Then let him accuse."
"When Iron Country comes, I will end this matter myself."
Black Zetsu saw that Chiya never changed his mind, so he couldn't help but speak again.
"When Five Kage gathers together, they must be accompanied by masters from each village. Iron Country itself also has a large number of warriors."
"Even if you can escape unscathed, you will still become Five Great Nations's common enemy."
Chiya Open your eyes.
"Sooner or later we will get to this point."
"That shouldn't be now."
Chiya raised his head and looked at Black Zetsu.
"When should that be?"
Black Zetsu did not answer.
"Wait until Xiao finds all Seven-Tails?"
"Wait until Pain catches Eight-Tails and Nine-Tails?"
"Should we wait until Ōtsutsuki Clan appears in front of me again?"
Chiya asked a few questions one after another, and Black Zetsu gradually fell silent.
The room became quiet again.
Chiya stood up and came to the window.
The rain kept sliding down the glass, and there were many pedestrians walking on the street outside. People here have long been accustomed to the constant heavy rain Rain Village all year round, and few people raised their heads to look at the sky.
They did not know that Tailed Beasts had fallen into the hands of Akatsuki one after another, nor did they know that Five Kage was about to meet at Iron Country.
Not to mention that there are some enemies who can travel through space and are looking for this world.
Chiya looked at it for a long time before speaking slowly.
"The major countries separated Tailed Beasts, thinking that this would be able to check and balance each other."
"But when that kind of person actually shows up, they don't even know what's going on."
Black Zetsu looked at his back.
"So you are going to ask Five Kage to hand over Tailed Beasts?"
"Not bad."
"They won't agree."
"I know."
Chiya turned around.
He never expected to convince Five Kage in just a few words. Tailed Beasts was related to the power and status of each village. Even if he told them about the existence of the Ōtsutsuki Clan, they would only suspect that this was an excuse to seize Tailed Beasts.
But Chiya decided to go there anyway.
He was tired of waiting for others to make their choices.
Since the five people who hold the highest power of Shinobi World will appear there, he will tell them face to face what they should do next.
Anyone willing to hand over Tailed Beasts can be on his side.
He won't continue to waste time if he doesn't want to.
Black Zetsu seemed to recognize Chiya in front of him for the first time.
"You want to take action?"
"It depends on how they choose."
"I'll give them a chance."
Chiya picked up the information on the table again and folded the paper.
In the mental space, Kaguya sat at the table and kept looking at him quietly.
Chiya can feel her gaze.
He was silent for a while, and his consciousness sank into his spiritual space.
Kaguya has recovered somewhat. Her clothes are no longer as bright and dark as before, and her complexion is much better.
Seeing Chiya appear, she didn't ask about the information just now, she just looked into his eyes.
"You want them to listen to you."
"Tailed Beasts will only continue to be used as a weapon if it remains in the hands of various countries."
"You know that's not what I'm talking about."
Chiya did not avoid her gaze.
Kaguya stood up and came to him.
"You've never done this before."
"I used to think I had time."
Kaguya stopped.
Chiya looked at her.
That familiar face is right in front of him. She has come back, but Chiya can never calm down as long as he thinks of her appearance when she was being chased.
He didn't want to go through it again.
I don't want to wait until the enemy actually appears, only to find that I still can't do anything.
"After I brought you back that day, I kept thinking about one thing."
"What would have happened if I had been later, or if the connection hadn't come?"
Kaguya opened his mouth, but finally said nothing.
Chiya continued:
"I can't rely on luck forever."
"I must get those Tailed Beasts."
Kaguya looked at him for a long time.
"If you go like this, it will only make everyone regard you as an enemy."
"They never considered me a friend."
"Where are Mei Terumi and Gaara?"
Chiya's expression finally changed.
He quickly remembered those people in Sunagakure, and also recalled the way Mei Terumi handed the young Three-Tails into his hands.
They do trust themselves.
Especially Mei Terumi.
She obviously couldn't believe the existence of the Ōtsutsuki Clan, so she finally handed over Three-Tails.
Chiya did not answer immediately.
After a long time, he whispered:
"I'll give them a choice."
Kaguya heard what he meant.
If they are unwilling to make the choice Chiya wants, nothing can be changed about the trust they once had.
"Chiya."
Kaguya reached out and grabbed his sleeve.
Chiya glanced down and did not take her hand away.
"I know what I'm doing."
Kaguya looked at him with a hint of worry in his eyes.
Chiya reached out and hugged her into his arms.
"I promised that I would never let you face those people alone again."
"This time, I can't wait any longer."
"Even if the whole Shinobi World disagrees, I will still do it."
Kaguya leaned on his chest and did not continue to persuade him.
She knew that Chiya had already made a decision.
After his consciousness returned to reality, Chiya sat there for a long time.
Black Zetsu never left.
When Chiya opened its eyes again, it asked.
"When are you going to leave?"
"On the day of the meeting."
"Do you need me to find out the guards of Iron Country in advance?"
"Just tell me the location of the meeting."
Chiya stood up and walked towards the door.
Black Zetsu looked at his back and suddenly asked:
"What if Five Kage rejects them all?"
Chiya stopped.
"Then they don't need to agree."
