News of Takigakure's destruction spread throughout the Shinobi World.
Many people did not even know Takigakure existed, since it had never interacted with the outside world. But to the upper ranks of the other villages, Takigakure was by no means an unfamiliar name.
Because that village had a Tailed Beast!
"Dawn's Shadow appeared in Takigakure, slaughtered all of Takigakure's ninja, leaving behind only a small number of villagers, and seized the Tailed Beast."
Inside the Hokage's Office, Minato Namikaze had been dealing with the relationship between both sides ever since the conflict with Dawn Hidden Village. Given the other side's aggressive nature, Konoha's current strength was insufficient to wage war against them head-on.
And now they had committed another atrocity that outraged both man and god—wiping out an entire village...
"Dawn Hidden Village has completely grown up. With their aggressive nature, they will surely ignite the next Shinobi World War."
The Third Hokage, seated beside him, had worry written between his brows. Matters concerning the village had always been decided jointly by the older and younger generations.
But the current situation had exceeded everyone's expectations. After attacking Konoha, Dawn Hidden Village had not chosen to recuperate. Instead, it had begun operating throughout the Shinobi World.
According to the information they had obtained so far, Dawn Hidden Village was capturing the Eight-Tails, and it had also acquired the Seven-Tails.
"I believe the villages should put aside their hatred and unite against the crisis that may arise."
Minato Namikaze had considered more than most. He now feared that the other side's appetite could not be satisfied. They had already committed far too many atrocities: working with Enlightenment Weapons Store to eliminate the nobles of the Land of Lightning, destroying Kumogakure, and now deploying troops to obtain a Tailed Beast.
Every single act
