"Hey, old man, why don't you just use my Clay Giant Bird?"
Deidara looked at Ōnoki sitting on the back of the Kitsuchi and spoke.
"Hmm... that works too!"
After thinking for a while, Ōnoki made a decision.
"Big brother, you should come up too. After all, your invisible state isn't suitable for traveling with a Clay Giant Bird."
Didaze shouted something behind him.
"Good!"
Didaze nodded, then stood on the Clay Giant Bird that Didaze had just sculpted.
"Set off!"
After the three of them had boarded, Deidara piloted the Clay Giant Bird towards the Land of Iron.
Land of Iron
" Lord Tsuchikage, we have been waiting for you for a long time...!"
" Deidara! You missing-nin, how dare you come here!"
" The Sand: Monstrous Arm!"
Mifune saw Ōnoki enter and was interrupted by Gaara's angry voice halfway through his sentence!
Then Mifune saw a giant hand formed of sand heading towards Deidara!
Just as Kitsuchi Tu was about to stand in front of Ōnoki and use Earth Release to block him, Ōnoki pushed him aside.
" Dust Release: Detachment of the Primitive World Technique!"
Ōnoki directly conjured a Dust Release, Annihilation Gaara's all-out Sand: Monstrous Arm without leaving a trace.
" Kazekage, Deidara is now a member of Iwagakure, not a missing-nin."
Ōnoki spoke to Gaara in a calm tone.
" Tsuchikage, what do you mean by this?"
Kankuro stood in front of Gaara and spoke angrily.
Do I need to explain what I mean to you?
Ōnoki glanced at Kankuro indifferently and said.
He didn't care that Deidara killed the Kazekage. After all, Deidara hadn't come to wreak havoc on Iwagakure, so what did it matter to him if many or even all the other villages died?
Ōnoki didn't care.
" Tsuchikage, aren't you afraid of being ridiculed for openly harboring Akatsuki missing-nin Akatsuki?"
Tsunade also stepped in, followed by Jiraiya with his missing arm and Kakashi.
Kakashi gave Deidara a sharp look; he remembered this rogue missing-nin from Akatsuki.
He even used his Kamui to break the opponent's arm back then, but unexpectedly, it has now been reattached.
"Hmph, do I need you to tell me what to do?"
Ōnoki was not intimidated at all.
"Oh? Looks like I just happened to catch the excitement."
Mei Terumi, beaming with smiles, also entered.
" Missing-nin from Akatsuki, huh?"
At this moment, the Fourth Raikage A, who was sitting in his seat, finally understood what was going on.
"Where did Sasuke Uchiha take my brother? Tell me!"
The Fourth Raikage flashed in front of Deidara and tried to grab Deidara with one hand!
"What do I care where your brother is? It would be better if he were dead!"
Deidara refused to back down and even started hurling insults at them!
"You bastard, Liger Bomb!"
Upon hearing Deidara curse Killer B, the Fourth Raikage's face instantly turned furious, and he was about to attack Deidara directly!
"You think I'm afraid of you?!"
Deidara also began sculpting clay.
He has learned to use Fire Style to detonate, and now he no longer has the weakness of Lightning Release.
" Lord Raikage, please stop!"
Mifune blocked the Fourth Raikage with his sword.
He is the leader of a completely neutral country; we absolutely cannot let these people start fighting here!
He only dared not take the Dust Release head-on just now because of it; otherwise, he would have attacked too.
"Snort!"
The Fourth Raikage angrily withdrew his attack.
" Raikage, can I take this as a provocation?"
Ōnoki spoke to the Fourth Raikage with an unfriendly expression.
"If you think so, then it is!"
The Fourth Raikage turned his head angrily.
There was no other way; they were in the Land of Iron, and he couldn't afford to disrespect Mifune.
"Everyone, please sit down and stop making noise!"
Seeing the tense situation, Mifune could only step in to offer words of comfort.
Finally, everyone took their seats.
The Five Kage Summit begins!
This time, Mifune didn't say any pleasantries; he immediately initiated the Five Kage Summit.
He was afraid that if he said even one more word, the shadows would start causing trouble again.
"I didn't have any particular feelings about this Five Kage Summit, but the Tsuchikage gave me a big surprise today."
Ōnoki Gaara a gloomy face.
" Ōnoki, make him reveal Sasuke Uchiha's location, and I'll let bygones missing-nin for his defection!"
The Fourth Raikage said urgently.
He attacked Deidara just now because he was filled with rage and had nowhere to vent it; he just wanted to find an outlet for his anger.
"Do you need to care? And what difference would it make if you did care?"
Ōnoki snorted coldly, then retorted directly.
He's not a coward at all.
According to Deidara, Didaze was much stronger than him.
Deidara himself was already a Kage Level ninja; how much stronger would someone be?
Ōnoki dared not even think about it.
However, he also understood that as long as Didaze was still around, the other villages were nothing to fear.
With Deidara and Didaze, two formidable weapons of war, Iwagakure wouldn't be afraid at all if war really broke out.
" Tsuchikage!"
The Fourth Raikage slammed his fist on the table in anger!
"He looks exactly like his father."
Didaze, watching this familiar scene from above, couldn't help but roll his eyes.
The shadow guards above also came down to protect Ying, and then went back after confirming that everything was alright.
"Ahem, Lord Raikage, please control your emotions. Any issues can be resolved verbally; please stop slamming your fist on the table."
Seeing the tense situation that had just escalated once again, Mifune could only helplessly remind the Fourth Raikage.
"Knew!"
The Fourth Raikage replied irritably.
"My brother has been captured, and not just my brother, but the other Jinchūriki must have been captured as well, and your village must be the same!"
The Fourth Raikage surveyed the room and spoke in a deep voice.
" The Tailed Beast of Sunagakure have long been captured, and as for the culprit... Hmph!"
Gaara glanced at Deidara with murderous intent, while Deidara returned a defiant look.
" The Four-Tails and Five-Tails of Iwagakure have also gone missing."
Ōnoki spoke first.
Now that things had come to this, he no longer intended to hide it, because he had already learned the general truth from Deidara.
The Akatsuki was to revive a Tailed Beast called the Ten-Tails!
"One of the Tailed Beast from Kirigakure is in the wild, and the other has defected; I'm not sure if it's been captured."
Mei Terumi sighed and then spoke.
This is also what hurts her the most.
Kirigakure currently has no Tailed Beast, and it has the most missing-nin of all the ninja villages.
She had promised to accept the return of missing-nin, but very few actually did.
These missing-nin had long been disillusioned with Kirigakure.
" The Two-Tails and Eight-Tails from Kumogakure have also been captured. Furthermore, it has been learned that the Seven-Tails from Takigakure has also been captured."
The Fourth Raikage's voice grew increasingly muffled.
"You mean, the Akatsuki are now targeting Nine-Tails!"
Tsunade's expression changed.
"Fortunately, Naruto is still learning Senjutsu at Mount Myōboku..."
Suddenly, Tsunade remembered that Naruto was currently at Mount Myōboku, and her mood improved slightly.
After all, Mount Myōboku is not an easy place to enter.
