"Kirigakure agrees."
With the Five Great Shinobi Villages reaching an agreement, the remaining smaller shinobi villages signed the documents of consent one after another.
After all, if they refused, people from the major shinobi villages would come that very night to make them agree.
Having lived this long and become leaders, they did not want to die without even knowing why.
Rather than die in confusion, they would rather live without understanding.
"Very good. That concludes today's meeting. Dedicated personnel will coordinate with each village shortly, and then..."
Tsunade exchanged looks with the other four Kage and nodded slightly.
"Understood."
A was the first to nod, rising to follow Tsunade out of the meeting hall.
The other three Kage followed in their footsteps as well.
"Hey, Deidara, come with me."
Seeing Deidara standing there looking foolish, not knowing what to do, Ōnoki felt his temper flare and shouted at him.
"Huh? Me? Oh, okay."
Deidara froze for a moment, then nodded and followed Ōnoki, joining the Five Kage.
Sasori remained where he was, waiting to coordinate with Konoha.
"Hokage, is this all right?"
Ōnoki asked Tsunade, who shrugged and replied:
"It's fine. Amegakure has been very proactive in expressing its support."
The group was not walking particularly fast, and Deidara took the opportunity to ask Ōnoki a question.
"Hey, Old Man, who's Kaguya? Why are you all so serious?"
Deidara asked Ōnoki quietly.
"She's the Sage of Six Paths' mother."
Ōnoki sat directly on Deidara's shoulder and spoke softly into his ear.
Deidara's pupils abruptly contracted, his face filled with disbelief.
"It seems the information you received wasn't all that comprehensive."
Seeing Deidara's reaction, Ōnoki understood.
That was normal, too. Although Amegakure was fairly strong, its influence in the Shinobi World fell far short of the Five Great Shinobi Villages.
