The second Shinobi World Joint Conference is still held at Iron Country.
Only this time, the surroundings of the venue had completely changed.
Last time Chiya broke into Five Kage Summit directly and not only killed Danzo on the spot, but also left calmly in front of everyone. The defense that Iron Country was proud of had almost no effect in front of him.
Mifune clearly learned his lesson.
A few days before the meeting started, Iron Country blocked the nearby roads. A large number of warriors were stationed between the cliffs and passes, responsible for checking everyone who entered the meeting area.
A perception array covering the entire valley was also opened in advance.
All participants in the meeting must register their Chakra in advance. Once a stranger breaks in, or someone appears directly inside the venue through Space-Time Ninjutsu, Sensor Corps will immediately sound an alarm.
Samurai were also arranged above and below the venue.
Five Kage brought far more guards this time than the last time.
Behind each person is an elite force. Except for the ninjas who are responsible for personal protection, the rest are stationed in the areas designated by Iron Country, ready to respond to their shadows at any time.
The most eye-catching one is Hidden Cloud Village.
Raikage is still sitting in the original position.
But Cloud shinobi behind him, many of them were wrapped in bandages, and their damaged armors had no time to replace. Even so, they still stood upright behind Raikage.
Kumogakure was just destroyed.
The elite in the village suffered heavy casualties, and many of the ninjas who were able to follow Raikage to Iron Country were survivors of that attack.
The meeting will start soon.
Five Kage had just sat down when a leader of a small country looked at Raikage.
"Kumogakure has been destroyed, and there are not many ninjas left."
"Is Raikage still qualified to sit in Five Kage's position?"
The conference room suddenly became quiet.
Raikage slowly raised his head.
The next moment, violent Lightning Release Chakra exploded from his body, and the heavy table was shaken with several cracks on the spot.
"What did you say?"
The expression of the leader of the small country changed.
The guards behind him immediately drew their weapons, and the Hidden Cloud Village ninjas also took a step forward. Even though they were injured, they still stood behind Raikage without giving in.
"Stop!"
Mifune stood up.
The samurai guarding the venue drew their swords at the same time to separate the people on both sides.
"We are gathered here today to jointly fight against Akatsuki."
"Whether Hidden Cloud Village is still qualified to be ranked Five Great Shinobi Villages will be discussed after the war is over."
The lightning on Raikage is still beating.
He stared at the leader of the small country, and after a long time, he sat back down.
Cloud shinobi also put away his weapons.
But those words have remained in everyone's heart.
Five Great Shinobi Villages's status has always been based on strength. Now that Kumogakure has been destroyed, Two-Tails and Eight-Tails have disappeared, and the ninjas in the village have suffered heavy casualties, sooner or later someone will mention this matter again.
But at least for now, countries still need Raikage.
The meeting then officially started.
The huge hole left by Kumogakure has made many originally planned issues meaningless.
Countries no longer waste time on whether to form Allied Shinobi Forces.
Shinobi World Alliance was officially established.
Hokage, Mizukage, Kazekage, Tsuchikage and Raikage temporarily occupy the five permanent seats of the alliance and jointly decide major actions during the war.
As for whether these five positions will be retained after the war, it will be discussed again after Akatsuki is resolved.
The general commander of Allied Shinobi Forces is Ōnoki.
He has experienced Shinobi World War many times. Regardless of his age, strength or battlefield experience, he is the most suitable person among the current Five Kage to lead Allied Shinobi Forces.
Although Raikage was a little dissatisfied with this, he had no objection in the end.
Today, Hidden Cloud Village no longer has enough power to support him in his fight for command.
Other countries quickly agreed to this decision.
From now on, all ninja villages will share information related to Akatsuki, Tailed Beasts and Jinchuriki, and complete the troop assembly within ten days.
Allied Shinobi Forces's first goal was also not too controversial.
Amegakure.
Pain has controlled Rain Village for a long time. Konan is called an angel by the local ninjas. Akatsuki has also used Rain Village as a base many times.
Chiya not long ago personally admitted on Five Kage Summit that he cooperated with Xiaoxun.
Just as he was holding back the four shadows, Pain attacked Kumogakure and took away Two-Tails and Eight-Tails.
All clues point to Rain Village.
No one objected.
Allied Shinobi Forces will set off in ten days and enter Rain Country from different directions. Capture the remaining members of Pain, Chiya, Konan and Akatsuki, and look for Demonic Statue of the Outer Path and the missing Tailed Beasts.
After the meeting, Five Kage led the guards to leave Iron Country.
The leaders of other countries also returned one after another and began to mobilize their own ninjas and supplies.
Iron Country has become the temporary command center of the Shinobi World Alliance. A large number of liaison ninjas remain near the venue, responsible for summarizing the intelligence sent back from various countries.
One command after another is sent from Iron Country.
The entire Shinobi World began to prepare for the coming war.
Amegakure.
Konan took the information just sent back and walked to the top of the tower.
Chiya is standing in front of a map.
The recent movements of Five Great Shinobi Villages have been marked on the map.
Konoha, Iwagakure, Sand Village, Hidden Mist Village and Hidden Cloud Village are all gathering troops, and some small countries have also begun to recall ninjas who are performing missions abroad.
Konan handed the information in his hand to Chiya.
"Shinobi World Alliance was established."
"Allied Shinobi Forces will attack Rain Village in ten days."
Chiya took the information and read it quickly.
Among the arrest targets listed above, the first one is Pain, and the second one is him.
There are also remaining members Konan and Akatsuki.
"Sure enough, I found this place first."
Chiya places the information next to the map.
Konan looked at the marks that were getting closer and closer to Rain Country, his expression a little ugly.
"Obito took away Demonic Statue of the Outer Path and Tailed Beasts, and now Rain Village is asked to bear the entire Shinobi World attack for him."
Chiya looks at Iron Country on the map.
"They don't know who Obito is, and they don't know what Demonic Statue of the Outer Path is."
"Rain Village is the only place they can be found."
"Are we going to make public the death of Nagato?"
"It's no use."
Chiya shook his head.
"You are from Akatsuki, and I have admitted to cooperating with Akatsuki. Now that we tell them that Nagato was attacked by Masked Man, and Demonic Statue of the Outer Path was also snatched away, they will only think that we are stalling for time."
Konan was silent for a moment.
"I'm going to summon Rain shinobi."
"No need."
Chiya rolled up the map.
"I can just go by myself."
Konan looked at him.
"Five Great Shinobi Villages brought not just a few teams this time, but the entire Allied Shinobi Forces!"
"I know, I am enough alone."
Konan did not persuade me again.
She knew what Chiya said was true.
The Rain Village ninja is simply not strong enough to confront Five Great Shinobi Villages. Even if everyone goes, they can't stop Allied Shinobi Forces for long.
"Then I'll go with you."
Chiya turned around, Konan took off the Huoyun robe from the hanger and put it on his shoulders.
"You stay here and take care of Amegakure. There may be other sneak attacks by other sneak troops. Amegakure cannot be left unattended."
Konan's hands holding the robe tightened, then she pursed her lips and nodded.
"Then be careful."
