Shihōin Naraku gave the orders, and naturally, his subordinates handled the specifics.
The Jonin Commander meeting began the next day. The moment Shikaku Nara hung up the new Konoha map at the meeting, everyone plunged into discussion.
Some thought it looked good, while others naturally had objections.
The Jonin voiced their opinions, offering their own thoughts one after another.
Naraku and the others said nothing. They had put the map on display precisely so everyone could check for any oversights.
This Jonin meeting was lively.
Of course, everyone knew they could not argue indefinitely, so after incorporating most people's opinions, they quickly finalized the plan.
"That settles it. Once the new maps are made, post them around the village so everyone can see what Konoha will look like in the future."
"Yes!"
"Have the other Shinobi Villages been notified about the Five Kage Summit?"
"The messages have been sent. The other Shinobi Villages have probably received them by now."
"Good. Let's wait for their replies."
"Understood."
"Hmph!"
"A Five Kage Summit?"
Ōnoki casually tossed the letter onto his desk, a crafty gleam flashing through his narrowed eyes.
"Lord Tsuchikage, should we reply to Konoha as soon as possible?"
"Not yet. Let them wait." Ōnoki waved a hand decisively, then changed the subject. "How is the probing for information in Amegakure going?"
"Our people have infiltrated Amegakure. We can now confirm that Amegakure has sided with Konoha, but the Land of Rain is extremely unstable internally. Civil unrest could erupt at any moment."
"This has also slowed our intelligence gathering somewhat!"
Listening to his subordinate's report, Ōnoki thought for a moment. "Investigate the various factions within the Land of Rain carefully. When the time comes, we'll choose one to support!"
"Yes!"
"Konoha wants to monopolize all the benefits from Amegakure.
