The biting cold wind pierced through the damaged iron walls of the main hall, howling and pouring in.
Inside the entire Five Kage Castle, apart from Raikage A's heavy, bellows-like breathing, there was not a sound.
The Fourth Raikage A, held his swollen, purple right hand, which resembled a large, braised pig's trotter, firmly with his left hand.
The veins on his forehead bulged out like menacing black centipedes.
Meanwhile, Ōnoki lay sprawled on Akatsuchi's round, fleshy belly, his hands pressed tightly against his completely dislocated and broken lower back, wincing in pain and trembling all over.
These two were originally the dominant powers that spearheaded this highest-level summit of the entire Shinobi World.
Seeing this scene before me, my mind went completely into a boiling pot of porridge!
Gaara, the ultimate killing Jinchūriki of the Land of Wind, knelt down on one knee in front of the whole world and called him "Big Brother," even offering up the tax exemption rights of all thirty-six fortresses in the entire territory!
Another Mei Terumi, the newly enthroned Mizukage of the Land of Water, not only disregards all international conventions, but also smiles and begs to merge with the Senju the Great, even wanting to become his second wife!
Is this some kind of Five Kage Summit?!
This is clearly a farcical farce of a large-scale family reunion combined with forced marriage!!
"What on earth happened to you two?!"
The Fourth Raikage A, finally broke down completely. He pointed at Gaara and Mei Terumi's noses and roared furiously!
His dark face turned a glossy, reddish-brown from extreme blood rushing to his head, and spittle flew several meters away.
" Gaara! Mei Terumi! Are your brains filled with nothing but seawater and rotten sand?!"
"This Five Kage Summit is a sacred trial convened by me and His Majesty the Tsuchikage to punish Senju Kenya disrupting the balance of the Shinobi World!!"
The Raikage was so enraged that crackling electricity coursed through his body; even the excruciating pain from his fractured right wrist couldn't suppress his fury.
"As a result, you two, as the shadows of a great power, one of you betrayed your country and knelt down to become a lackey, while the other even publicly pulled down his pants and begged for a merger!!"
"Have you treated the dignity of your Sunagakure and Kirigakure ancestors like toilet paper, throwing it into the latrine?!"
Ōnoki, lying on Akatsuchi's belly, was also in so much pain that tears and snot streamed down his face, and he screamed in unison:
"A betrayal of national sovereignty and a disgrace to the country! Utterly rebellious!!"
Ōnoki pointed at the two of them, his withered fingers trembling violently:
" Senju Kenya is a lawless thug! He destroyed the Konoha headquarters, deposed the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, and now he's establishing his dominance in the Land of Waves!"
"If you follow him, sooner or later you'll be chewed up and swallowed whole, bones and all, by his unreasonable Iron Fist!!"
The heart-wrenching roars of the two veteran Shinobi World giants echoed endlessly through the ruins of the main hall.
However.
Faced with this almost hysterical accusation and condemnation.
Gaara, standing to the right of Senju Kenya, showed not a trace of emotion.
The giant sand gourd behind the boy tilted slightly, and a wisp of crystal-clear golden sand swirled quietly beside him like a protective cloud.
Gaara slightly raised his clear, icy eyes, coldly gazing at the enraged Raikage and Tsuchikage.
His tone was so calm, as if he were stating some irrefutable universal truth:
" Lord Raikage, Lord Tsuchikage, clinging to outdated ideas is not the same as honor."
Gaara's voice wasn't loud, but every word pierced their hearts like steel needles:
"For countless years, Sunagakure has strictly adhered to the balance of power among the Five Great Nations established by you."
What was the result?
Gaara's eyes turned slightly cold, his voice like shattering ice:
"What I got in return was the torment of being run away by Tailed Beast that was worse than death from childhood, and the countless civilians of the Land of Wind starving and waiting to die in the desert storms."
"And then Kenya- nii arrived."
Gaara turned slightly to the side and respectfully glanced at Kenya behind him:
"My eldest brother slapped the Three-Tails awake, curing my years-long insomnia. He also used countless black iron windbreak stakes from the Iron Fist Chamber of Commerce to block the sandstorms that raged Land of Wind, ensuring that all the children in the village had enough to eat every day."
"Following our elder brother, we can live like human beings."
Gaara's lips curled into a cold smile, and he retorted without any politeness:
"Gentlemen, what can we gain from following you crippled old men who only know how to swallow their bitterness and suffer in silence, besides bleeding and waiting to die?"
A crisp, loud, invisible slap landed directly on the Raikage's face!
Mei Terumi, standing on the other side, covered her mouth and let out a soft, charming laugh, like the tinkling of silver bells.
She walked gracefully forward in her high-slit gown, her beautiful eyes flowing like spring water, yet a chilling sarcasm flickered in their depths.
"Oh dear, Lord Raikage's hand is swollen up so comically, but his voice is still as loud as thunder~"
"The old Tsuchikage was sprawled on his subordinate's large belly, groaning and unable to even stand up, yet he still had the leisure to worry about the future of the entire Shinobi World?"
Mei Terumi gently brushed her fiery wavy hair behind her ear, her crimson lips parted slightly, her expression utterly devastating:
"Those who understand the times are wise. You two old fogies who are about to die, do you really think this continent is still under your control?"
" Iron Fist Heavy Industries monopolizes the entire steel and building materials market, Iron Fist Chamber of Commerce controls the only golden shipping route across the ocean!"
"Even a god would kneel before the Senju the Great's fists and have to take a slap!"
Mei Terumi's phoenix eyes narrowed, and a murderous intent suddenly appeared:
"What's wrong with our Land of Water choosing to ally with the true gods for the sake of our people's well-being?!"
"But you two, one crippled and the other paralyzed, instead of thinking about hurrying back to your village to find a coffin to lie down in, you dare to spout nonsense here?"
"Boom--!!"
This biting, undisguised mockery became the final fuse that ignited the powder keg!
The Fourth Raikage A, unleashed a violent surge of lightning from his remaining left arm, transforming him into a wounded, trapped beast driven to the brink of despair.
"Traitors! A bunch of shameless traitors!!"
"Since you're determined to be this barbarian's dogs, then even if it costs me my old life, I will never bow down to your tyrannical Taijutsu!!"
Ōnoki gritted his teeth and endured the excruciating pain of his lower back being completely shattered and dislocated, forcefully propping up half of his body from Akatsuchi's belly!
His hands trembled as he clasped them together again, and a faint, semi-transparent Dust Release flickered on and off in his palms once more.
" Iwagakure... will never be enslaved!!"
The supreme leaders of the two superpowers were driven to the brink of despair and prepared to launch a final, desperate struggle with their broken bodies!
The air inside the entire hall was instantly ignited!
At Mifune's signal, hundreds of heavily armored warriors from the Land of Iron retreated in terror to the corner of the wall!
However.
Senju Kenya was at the very heart of the storm's vortex.
He leisurely handed the white jade pipe he was holding in his mouth to Bai behind him.
He stood up unsteadily, wearing flip-flops.
He pulled up the waistband of his large, muscular shorts, his bare arms exposed.
He stretched his elbows, and in an instant, his bones emitted a violent, thunderous roar!
Kenya looked down at the two crippled old men, who were at their last gasp, and a wild, savage grin spread across his face.
