Ōnoki's expression was extremely unpleasant; his lips twitched slightly, and he felt incredibly embarrassed, wishing he could swallow his words.
He just asked why they didn't kick the people out.
If there is any small country in the Shinobi World today that has the power to directly intervene in the affairs of a major power, then without a doubt, it is the Land of Rain!
Amegakure, this village first showed its strength in Second Shinobi World War. Its leader, Amegakure of the Hanzo of the Salamander, who was revered as Demigod of the Ninja World, was difficult for the Three Great Shinobi Villages to deal with. However, this was nothing compared to the fact that they were not qualified to interfere in the Five Kage Summit of the Five Great Shinobi Villages.
But as everyone knows, a coup later occurred in Amegakure, Hanzo of the Salamander was killed, and the position of Amegakure's leader changed hands.
The new leader of Amegakure... is Uya, revered as the God of the Shinobi World!
The idea of driving away the leader of Amegakure is utter nonsense. Not even Mifune, let alone Ōnoki himself, would dare to do that.
"That person actually came to the meeting... This is truly unexpected."
Ōnoki's expression became extremely solemn. He could remain calm and composed when facing other Kage, but when facing Uya, he was extremely vigilant and respectful.
Mifune naturally knew who Ōnoki was, but the leader from Amegakure didn't seem to be the God of the Shinobi World Uya, but a woman who seemed to have been one of the legendary Sannin of Konoha.
When Ōnoki entered the meeting place, he was slightly taken aback when he saw Tsunade already sitting there.
When he entered, Ōnoki even took several deep breaths, preparing himself to face Uya, the God of the Shinobi World. But to his surprise, the person he saw upon entering was not Uya, but Tsunade.
Ōnoki naturally recognized Tsunade. Tsunade was once the captain of Konoha's medical corps and was at the top of the assassination list during the Third Shinobi World War. However, Tsunade herself was very strong, so the assassination attempt against Tsunade was simply impossible.
To Ōnoki's utter bewilderment, why was Tsunade here?!
Impersonating the leader of Amegakure?
Although he found it strange, Ōnoki did not ask any questions, but calmly sat down in his seat.
Originally, there was no place for Tsunade here, but after announcing the name of Amegakure and displaying the aura of Kage Level powerhouse, Mifune took it very seriously and specially added a place for Tsunade.
Soon, the other Kage arrived one after another. The second to arrive was the Fourth Mizukage, followed by the Fifth Kazekage. The Fifth Kazekage looked quite familiar; he was Gaara's father Rasa.
After the Fourth Kazekage was killed by Hatake Sakumo, he became the Fifth Kazekage.
Next was the Fourth Raikage. Uya hadn't gone all out on the front lines of the Kumogakure Village battlefield; he had just casually compared speed with the Fourth Raikage, which is why the Fourth Raikage didn't die.
The Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, arrived last.
When the Kage of the major ninja villages arrived, they all knew about Tsunade's situation. Although they were quite puzzled as to why Tsunade had taken on the title of Amegakure's leader and come here, none of them said a word.
Once Uya is involved, they can't help but take it seriously. In this Shinobi World, no one dares to impersonate the leader of Amegakure so casually. Since Tsunade dares to come here with this identity, it's most likely the real one.
When Hiruzen Sarutobi the arena, the moment he saw Tsunade, his surprise far surpassed that of the other four Kage; he even couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
Tsunade?!
"Long time no see, Teacher Sarutobi."
Tsunade sat there looking at Hiruzen Sarutobi. Although it was a greeting, her expression was extremely calm and indifferent, devoid of any emotion.
She came this time as the leader of Amegakure, and she has given herself a very clear definition.
"How did you get here?!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi asked the same question that the other four Kage had wanted to ask.
"I am now the new leader of Amegakure. Is there anything I can do to participate in this meeting?"
Tsunade asked Hiruzen Sarutobi a question in a calm tone.
Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled wryly to himself. As expected, after Tsunade joined Amegakure, Uya still valued her highly, even giving her the position of Amegakure leader.
However, given Uya's status and position, he probably doesn't care about the position of leader of Amegakure anymore. You know, even if Uya wanted to become Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi wouldn't stop him.
Or rather, they simply dared not stop it, nor were they able to stop it.
The Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki, was the most composed of them all. He was the first to arrive and the first to notice that Tsunade was representing Amegakure.
I originally thought the person who came would be Uya, the God of the Shinobi World, but I didn't expect it to be just a little girl. What kind of trouble could she cause? I'll give her a seat out of respect for Uya.
Ōnoki's thoughts were also those of the other Kage. They all knew about the master-disciple relationship between Tsunade and Hiruzen Sarutobi, so how could they allow Tsunade, the Hokage's disciple, to say anything here?
The only exception was Hiruzen Sarutobi. After a bitter smile, Hiruzen Sarutobi was actually quite pleased. With Tsunade here, he might be able to leverage Uya's influence again during the negotiations and obtain more favorable terms.
Hiruzen Sarutobi has been practically whipping Danzo these past few days, secretly cursing Danzo for being utterly useless and a complete hindrance. Konoha elders Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura were equally furious, never expecting Danzo to do such a thing.
They were almost at an agreement, and the other four ninja villages had agreed to hand over a large amount of supplies in exchange for the Tailed Beast and Jinchūriki, but because of Danzo's actions, the agreed terms collapsed instantly.
This is truly the most foolish thing I've ever done in my life; even in death, I can't rest in peace.
"Alright, now that everyone is here, let's officially begin the peace talks."
Mifune was not present. This was not the Five Kage Summit as depicted in the original story, but rather a meeting to sign some treaties after the Shinobi World War. As the Admiral of the Land of Iron, Mifune's participation would have been meaningless.
He simply announced the start of the talks and then left the meeting room.
" Hokage, what are your plans to do to return the Tailed Beast and their Jinchūriki?"
The younger Fifth Kazekage Rasa, Rasa, was the first to speak to Hiruzen Sarutobi. As for the other Kage, especially the Tsuchikage Ōnoki, they sat there calmly, showing no sign of urgency.
It is very difficult to control and utilize the power of Tailed Beast. For example, the Nine-Tails, although Konoha has the Eight Trigrams Seal, which can easily and perfectly seal a Tailed Beast.
But sealing it away doesn't mean you can use its power. If you can't use its power, then it's just a piece of junk, completely meaningless.
Therefore, compared to other ninja villages' desire to reclaim their Jinchūriki, Hiruzen Sarutobi was more eager to exchange Jinchūriki for more favorable conditions. (To be continued.)
