Otsutsuki Church

Daimyō Conference and Hokage Conference.

The Fire Country daimyō looked at Tsunade and asked, "Hokage, what are your thoughts on this newly emerged Otsutsuki Church?"

Tsunade gave a slight nod. "It may be some newly formed organization seeking to fundamentally infiltrate the Ninja World and alter people's thinking."

"I don't see it that way."

The Land of Water daimyō spoke up.

"I think this is merely a low-level tactic by smaller countries banding together for warmth."

"They think they can halt the Ninja World's development with some obscure cult? Wishful thinking."

"Lord Daimyō of the Land of Water, we cannot underestimate an organization like this from the outset," Tsunade countered. "It would be a mistake to assume from the beginning that this organization poses no threat to us."

"Take the Akatsuki, for instance. At first, no one paid them any attention, but they gradually became a powerful force capable of destroying shinobi villages. Have you forgotten?"

The Land of Water daimyō had wanted to retort, but when he remembered that she was the Hokage of the Konoha Shinobi Village, he immediately shut his mouth.

What standing did the Land of Water have to speak against the Fire Country now?

Konoha had already destroyed Kumogakure. Destroying the tiny Kirigakure of the Land of Water did not seem like it would be difficult for them.

Although most people in the Ninja World did not know why Kumogakure had suddenly been destroyed,

most believed that Konoha had something to do with it.

Especially given the enmity between the two villages.

Kumogakure had attacked Konoha repeatedly and launched multiple wars against it.

Yet every time, Konoha had emerged with a resounding victory.

There was nothing surprising about Kumogakure being wiped out.

It was only that no one had proof that Konoha had done it.
