"Who knows what the Six-Tails might do if they stay in Iwagakure!"
The Third Mizukage pressed on relentlessly.
He wanted to corner Ōnoki, otherwise, given Onoki's smooth-talking nature, he would never give in.
"So, according to you, if you lose, we have to pay you back?"
Ōnoki was utterly disdainful of this and retorted angrily.
"Sure!"
The Third Mizukage directly into Ōnoki's eyes.
Since the village is already in such a terrible state, if the Five Kage Summit can't bring back the Tailed Beast or the Ninja Blade, then the destruction of the village won't be far off.
While the Third Mizukage and Ōnoki were staring at each other, the Third Raikage suddenly slammed his fist on the table!
The shadow guards jumped out!
Didaze and Kōdo quickly jumped down from the second floor to shield Ōnoki in front of them.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
"Go back, I just wanted you two to stop arguing."
The Third Raikage waved his hand, signaling his Shadow Guards to retreat; the other Shadow Guards were also signaled to retreat by their own Shadow Guards.
"Judging from the Third Mizukage's expression, he's really desperate."
Didaze lowered his voice after returning to the second floor.
"Indeed, it's as if the defeated side is behaving like the victors."
Kōdo responded with a series of cold laughs.
"Let me offer my opinion. I think Iwagakure has too many Tailed Beast. If you can't hand over the Six-Tails, then handing over the Four-Tails or the Five-Tails would be fine too! Besides, I heard that your relationship with that Four-Tails Jinchūriki isn't very good..."
The Third Raikage's words were laced with obvious malice.
"How about this: you hand over the Two-Tails Jinchūriki to me, and then surrender the Kumogakure to me, and I'll give you the Four-Tails, how about that?"
"Trading Two-Tails for Four-Tails, you've hit the jackpot, you know that?"
Ōnoki scoffed at this, saying that anyone could spout trash talk.
"And why is our Lord Raikage's hair back to normal? Does your hair grow that fast?"
Ōnoki continued to speak sarcastically to the Third Raikage, even using honorifics to amplify the effect of his sarcastic remarks.
"You!"
The Third Raikage slammed his fist on the table in anger and stood up abruptly!
"We have to get down again..."
Didaze glanced speechlessly at the Third Raikage, then jumped down.
The Shadow Guards once again mobilized and stood in front of the shadow figure.
" Lord Raikage, please do not slam your fist on the table and disrupt the meeting."
Yue, who was sitting to the side, offered a reminder.
He felt that if he hadn't reminded them, this Five Kage Summit would have turned into a personal table-pounding show by the Third Raikage.
"Snort..."
The Third Raikage sat down sullenly, and the Shadow Guards also returned to their posts behind the scenes.
"I think it's fine for Iwagakure to just return the Three-Tails. After all, Iwagakure won the battle; they can't just give up all the compensation, can they?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke up.
" Hokage, what kind of benefits did you receive?"
The Third Mizukage was least afraid of the Hokage.
Many people in Konoha are watching; if Konoha dares to make a move, other villages will swarm in.
Occupying the most fertile land meant that Konoha would not initiate a war, because for Konoha, no other place was as good as their own home, so what was the point of conquering it?
" The Mizukage and Hokage were merely speaking out for justice. Who do you think you are to talk about the Hokage like that?"
Seeing Hiruzen Sarutobi being rebuked, Ōnoki immediately started arguing with the Third Mizukage!
The two then successfully started hurling insults at each other, going on and on about everything from their village to their age, their master, and their appearance.
"Calm down, everyone..."
He initially found the Third Kazekage fascinating, but he grew tired of the endless bickering between the two of them later on.
"Is there anything that can't be discussed? Didn't we start the Five Kage Summit precisely to resolve this issue?"
The Third Kazekage tried to smooth things over by speaking from the sidelines.
"We're not going to hand over the Six-Tails anyway, and Kirigakure will have to pay money to buy the Three-Tails back!"
After arguing for so long, Ōnoki finally lost his temper.
Free return? Free my ass!
I'll buy it!
"I don't care whether it costs money or not, but does Iwagakure have so many Tailed Beast in its name? Are they planning to unify the Shinobi World?"
The Third Mizukage sneered, intending to continue guiding Iwagakure towards becoming an enemy of the entire Shinobi World.
"Stop talking nonsense. The Three-Tails costs 100 million ryo. If you don't want it, I'll give it to Konoha for free."
Ōnoki gave a cold laugh.
Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression suddenly became quite interesting; he now desperately wanted the Third Mizukage to say no.
The Third Mizukage was about to firmly say no when he suddenly felt a chill down his spine.
Yagura manipulated a small water sphere into the Third Mizukage's clothes, which helped the Third Mizukage regain some consciousness.
The original plan was to come here to retrieve the Tailed Beast, and it wouldn't be a problem to back down to Ōnoki, but the Third Mizukage's tough stance suggests that the war might continue!
"Call..."
The Third Mizukage, who was in a state of extreme heat, instantly calmed down.
" Tsuchikage, I'm willing to pay for the Three-Tails, and I also want to buy three Ninja Blade."
The Third Mizukage let out a long breath, suppressing his anger.
"Why weren't you so patient earlier? I'm not selling now!"
Ōnoki, seeing that the Third Mizukage had forced himself to calm down, decided to continue to annoy him.
In any case, Ōnoki doesn't pose much of a threat to Kirigakure in its current state, so there's nothing Onoki can do about it even if he insults the Third Mizukage Iwagakure.
"I'm willing to offer two hundred million taels..."
The Third Mizukage closed his eyes and raised two fingers.
"Oh, we're all friends, I really went too far with what I said earlier!"
Ōnoki, greedy for money, smiled and spoke directly to the Third Mizukage.
"Name your price, Ninja Blade."
The Third Mizukage decided against morally blackmailing Ōnoki; he could tell the old man had no morals whatsoever and wasn't afraid of threats.
" The Ninja Blade is not for sale!"
Ōnoki shook his head seriously.
" The Ninja Blade have belonged to our Kirigakure since ancient times. Now that you've kidnapped the Tailed Beast Tailed Beast, you should at least return the Ninja Blade to us, right?"
The Third Mizukage grew anxious when he saw that Ōnoki had no intention of returning the Ninja Blade to him.
Having lost three Ninja Blade and the Six-Tails, Kirigakure is now almost as weak as Sunagakure.
No, it's already weaker than Sunagakure.
Because this generation of Sunagakure's Kazekage is very strong, even the Mizukage can't defeat him.
"Don't think I don't know what you're up to. You want Ninja Blade? Dream on!"
Ōnoki's smile vanished, and he resumed his verbal sparring with the Third Mizukage.
"I think it's already quite generous of Iwagakure to hand over a Tailed Beast; there's no need to keep pressing them."
Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled and defined the nature of the matter.
The Third Mizukage had no choice but to swallow his anger, and only managed to retrieve one of the original two Tailed Beast.
"Remember to send someone to Iwagakure as soon as possible to take your Jinchūriki away. I can't guarantee he'll still be alive if it takes too long."
"Let's end this."
Ōnoki called out to Takeshi.
"Do any of you filmmakers have anything else to say?"
Yue looked at the other four shadows and asked them a question.
Everyone except the Third Mizukage, whose face was ashen, shook their heads.
"Leader of the Land of Iron samurai, Yue, hereby announces the conclusion of the Second Five Kage Summit!"
