With a loud shout, Mifune drew his weapon in a flash and cleaved the table in front of him in two with a single stroke.
"Stop!"
Ōnoki's expression was uncertain, but he finally dispersed the white Chakra in his hand.
The Lightning Release Chakra covering the Raikage's body slowly dissipated.
Mifune clapped his hands, and several armored samurai quickly entered and replaced the broken table.
The Raikage returned to his seat, while the Tsuchikage, Ōnoki, slowly descended from the sky and landed on his high stool.
Mifune looked at the four Kage from the preceding villages, plus an elder from Sunagakure, and calmly said, "Since you have convened the Five Kage Summit Five Kage Summit, please abide by its rules and do not let your juniors laugh at you. Show the magnanimity of your seniors! Let's get back to the main topic: how to deal with the Akatsuki?"
The Raikage snorted heavily, "Anyway, I don't trust the Tsuchikage!"
Upon hearing the Raikage 'Ōnoki words, Onoki's old face darkened. Whether or not Deidara was punished was a matter for Iwagakure. He would never hand over his disciple under any circumstances.
Shinsei looked at the Raikage and Tsuchikage; the hatred between these two was far greater than the hatred he harbored for Konoha.
The Raikage before me is the Fourth Raikage, while his father, the Third Raikage, died in an attack led by Ōnoki with 10,000 ninja. The battle is said to have lasted three days and three nights, though it's unclear if that's an exaggeration.
Seeing that the atmosphere was about to become tense again, Tsunade fist on the table.
"Alright! Deidara was captured by my disciple and returned to the Tsuchikage. If the Raikage wishes to capture Deidara, please wait until he escapes again and then capture him yourself."
If this arguing continues without any real progress, the Two-Tails Jinchūriki might lose his life.
The Raikage was speechless at Tsunade's words. He couldn't admit that he was incapable of capturing Deidara, nor could he disregard the life of the Two-Tails Jinchūriki. He could only clench his fists so tightly they cracked.
Tsunade continued, "I propose that each ninja village select elite ninja to form a Rapid Response Force to rescue the Two-Tails Jinchūriki and eliminate the Akatsuki."
As soon as Tsunade finished speaking, the Mizukage Mei Terumi immediately nodded and said, "I agree with the Hokage's opinion, and our Kirigakure will support this decision."
On the other side, Chiyo, who had been relatively unnoticed until now, slowly nodded. "I support Tsunade's suggestion!"
The Raikage his fist on the table. "I disagree. To deal with the Akatsuki, we must exert all our strength. I propose forming Allied Shinobi Forces."
Tsunade immediately retorted, "I disagree with forming the Allied Shinobi Forces. Pain, the leader of Akatsuki, possesses an extremely powerful Ninjutsu; ordinary Ninjutsu have no power to resist it."
Mizukage Mei Terumi had witnessed Pain unleash the Shinra Tensei and Chibaku Tensei Ninjutsu. Those Ninjutsu, which were like divine might, were beyond the ability of ordinary ninjas to resist; they would simply die as many as they came.
"I agree with the Hokage's view. Ordinary ninjas are useless against Pain." Mei Terumi's expression was serious, as if she was still recalling the massive tsunami unleashed by Shinra Tensei that day.
The Raikage slammed his fist on the table and roared, " Mizukage, do you agree to any suggestion from Konoha? Are you willing to be a vassal of Konoha, just like Sunagakure?"
Mei Terumi's face was as cold as ice. " Raikage, please watch your words. My Kirigakure is not anyone's vassal. As the Mizukage, I need to consider the villagers and the country, and I need to be responsible for their lives."
If Raikage hadn't trained his muscles into his brain, he would know the correctness of my suggestion.
Elder Chiyo of Sunagakure slowly spoke up, " Sunagakure is not anyone's vassal. Although I am old, I will never allow Raikage to slander Sunagakure."
Tsunade also stated, "Our Konoha has decided to form an alliance with the Kirigakure and the Sunagakure. The relationship between the villages will be one of equality and mutual assistance. We ask the Raikage not to sow discord."
"Ah!" Raikage gritted his teeth. He could only out-talk three people, let alone three women.
Ōnoki also spoke up, "I agree with the Hokage's idea of forming a Rapid Response Force, but who should lead this force? I propose selecting someone with sufficient experience to lead this reaction force."
Shinsei looked at Ōnoki and thought to himself, if this old man wants to choose someone with enough experience, who among them could be older than him?
The upcoming Rapid Response Force is facing off against the Akatsuki, so its selection criteria must at least include elite ninjas. If this candidate is not chosen from among the five Kage, then the new leader of this force will likely hold a position no less powerful than any village Kage.
Shinsei rested his chin on his hands, stared at the Kage of the ninja villages in front of him, and calmly said, "We are all Kage of our respective villages and have our own affairs. Let's not be the leaders of this force anymore. Let's choose a new one."
Since the goal is to defeat the Akatsuki, absolute strength is required. If there's no better selection method, then let's decide by force."
The Raikage felt he hadn't yet agreed to establish Rapid Response Force, but it seemed the other villages had already decided on this approach.
Since they couldn't stop him with 4 against 1, they might as well join in without hesitation. He glanced at Killer B behind him, his expression somewhat conflicted.
In terms of strength, Killer B is a powerful figure among Kage Level, but as the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki Killer B, wouldn't becoming a member of the Rapid Response Force make him even more dangerous?
Killer B felt his older brother's gaze, and he began to sing and gesticulate wildly:
My brother is worried about his younger brother.
But don't get angry at what I say.
Everyone Akatsuki.
Don't be in danger, I'm hiding in the village.
Brother, you must believe in my abilities.
The caged bird yearns for the outside world.
Yeah!
Killer B finally finished his rap, and then a fist came crashing down on the Raikage.
The Raikage's face twitched slightly, but he was at his wit's end with Killer B, so he could only raise his fist at Killer B's fist.
Their fists collided, and they instantly understood each other's intentions.
The Raikage finally made up his mind. He turned around and said to everyone, "I propose that my younger brother, Killer B, be the captain of the Rapid Response Force."
Tsunade turned her head and gave her disciple Shinsei an inquiring look.
Shinsei nodded. He understood what his teacher meant. If he wasn't confident, Tsunade would refuse him on the grounds that Jinchūriki was not suitable for the team.
However, Shinsei wasn't afraid of any Eight-Tails Jinchuriki; he was only interested in the Eight-Tails 'Chakra.
Tsunade turned around. "I propose that my disciple Shinsei, be the captain of this team!"
