The venue was silent for a long time before Ōnoki slowly opened his mouth, "In other words, the Sage Eye is similar to the Uchiha Clan's Mangekyo Sharingan in some abilities, but different in others?"
"Hmph, who knows if it's true or false." The Fourth Raikage said coldly, "The Sage Eye has always been a legendary ability, not even recorded during the Warring States Period. Now it suddenly appears, how could two pairs emerge at the same time?"
"Believe it or not." Tsunade rolled her Byakugan and said, "The reason I came to participate in the Five Kage Summit is to share this information with you, to prevent you from falling into the trap of a mysterious person."
"This incident is inseparable from your Konoha." The Fourth Raikage continued to accuse, "I can let go of the Root and Danzo Shimura's affairs, but why do these Puppets use your Konoha's characteristic Ninjutsu and Forbidden Technique? That Danzo Shimura even possessed a Mangekyo Sharingan and could use Wood Release and the Flying Thunder God Technique. Hokage, you must give me an explanation and account."
Before Tsunade could speak, the Fourth Raikage turned his gaze to the other Five Kage, his expression furious, "And you other Shinobi Villages, the Akatsuki members who have been exposed are almost all S-Rank Missing-nin from your villages. You must all give me an explanation."
Seeing the Fourth Raikage throwing dirty water on them, the other Five Kage all turned dark.

Chiyo didn't have the confidence to speak, but Ōnoki didn't indulge the Fourth Raikage at all, sarcastically saying, "It's hard to imagine that these words would come from the mouth of a Kage. Could it be that the Kage of your Cloud Village don't need to take cultural classes? Since when can the actions of a Missing-nin involve the affiliated Shinobi Village? Did we not destroy his files, or did we not issue a wanted order and pursuit?"
"Speaking of which, shouldn't your Cloud Village give Konoha an explanation first? As far as I know, the Second Hokage died because of a Missing-nin from your Cloud Village, and I haven't seen you give any explanation, have I? And if I remember correctly, the Ninja Tools held by Kinkaku and Ginkaku are still in your Cloud Village. Shouldn't these murder weapons be handed over to Konoha?"
"What did you say!" The Fourth Raikage immediately glared.
Ōnoki dismissed him, "Boy, your momentum is still too tender compared to your Father. If you want to fight, whether it's a one-on-one duel or a full-scale war, I'll accompany you."
Dong, dong, dong...
Just as the Fourth Raikage and Ōnoki were about to quarrel, Mifune knocked on the table, his voice gentle, "Raikage, Tsuchikage, please calm down. The theme of this summit is to discuss how to deal with the Akatsuki, who have broken the bottom line."
"Hmph!"
The Fourth Raikage snorted coldly and sat down, then said bluntly, "I remain skeptical of the information provided by the Hokage. My suggestion is to jointly attack Rain Hidden Village and completely eliminate this terrifying organization composed of S-Rank Missing-nin from your Shinobi Villages."
"I don't agree."
Ōnoki crossed his arms and said calmly, "I also know a little about Akatsuki. It's a mercenary organization of S-Rank Missing-nin huddling together for warmth, specializing in accepting top-secret commissions in the Black Market. I have also cooperated with this organization several times. They have always deliberately maintained a mysterious side. Now they are suddenly so high-profile and even reveal the location of their headquarters. This is really too strange."
"I originally thought that they were so low-key before because they were preparing something, and now they are finally no longer hiding. However, the information provided by Princess Tsunade has solved my confusion. Perhaps there is indeed a mysterious third party who wants to use our hands to deal with Akatsuki."
"That's just your guess." The Fourth Raikage said.
"Perhaps."
Ōnoki didn't care and said, "I believe Princess Tsunade's information, and Hidden Stone Village has no conflicts or hatred with Akatsuki, so it will not participate in the crusade."
"Hmph, I hope you won't regret it when Akatsuki sets its sights on your Hidden Stone Village!" The Fourth Raikage snorted coldly.
"If that's the case, then I can only admit that I'm unlucky." Ōnoki said sarcastically.
The Fourth Raikage's forehead instantly bulged with veins.
Tsunade rested her chin on her hands, her expression serious, "I also believe Jiraiya's information. After all, among our Shinobi Villages, only he infiltrated Rain Hidden Village and had a conversation with the Leader of Akatsuki. Leaving aside whether the Leader of Akatsuki is lying, if the Konoha Crush Plan and the Bloody Mist, as well as the Cloud Village incident, were all done by Akatsuki, then it means that the person who manipulated Danzo Shimura to use the Flying Thunder God Technique is a member of Akatsuki."
"The information we Konoha announced last time was not detailed enough. In addition to suffering heavy losses, we Konoha also had the Sealing Scroll and a Wood Release Experiment stolen." Tsunade said with a solemn expression, "That was in August, and the Cloud Village incident happened at the end of December. That's only four months."
"Since they can master the Flying Thunder God Technique, which only the Second Grandfather and the Fourth Hokage mastered in Konoha's Year 61, in four months, and also allow Danzo Shimura's corpse to exert the power of Wood Release, then the other Forbidden Technique in the Sealing Scroll must have also been mastered."
"Even if we join forces to besiege Rain Hidden Village, it will be difficult to eliminate Akatsuki, who possesses the Flying Thunder God Technique. If Akatsuki doesn't have the Flying Thunder God Technique, then it not only means that there is indeed a mysterious third party, but also completely pushes Akatsuki to the opposite side. If we can completely erase this organization, that's fine, but if the crusade fails, we may be retaliated against by the second pair of Sage Eye at any time."
Hearing this, except for the Fourth Raikage, the other Five Kage fell into silence.
The Fourth Raikage was furious, "Could it be that you Hokage are afraid? And do you really believe that a Missing-nin organization with the Sage Eye will always be content to be a mercenary?"
"Think what you want, but we in Konoha will not participate in the crusade against the Akatsuki." Tsunade rolled her eyes, stating her position.
Seeing that the Hidden Stone Village, whose overall strength was second only to the Cloud Village, and Konoha both disagreed with the crusade against the Akatsuki.
Chiyo, who had only lost a Kazekage and some ninjas, and whose own grandson was a member of the Akatsuki, immediately chimed in, "I believe the Hokage wouldn't speak carelessly, and the Sand Village suffered heavy losses in the Konoha Crush Plan due to Orochimaru, and is now in a state of disarray, so it is also powerless."
The Fourth Raikage's black face immediately turned even darker.
Seeing that three ninja villages did not agree to the crusade against the Akatsuki, Genshi, who had originally wanted to use their hands to deal with the Akatsuki, could only extinguish the idea in his heart and slowly said, "Although the Hidden Mist Village has just ended the Bloody Mist not long ago, and is also in a state of disarray, as long as it is a joint crusade against the Akatsuki, or a mysterious third party, we in the Hidden Mist Village are willing to abide by the will of the majority."
These words sounded nice, but the subtext was that the Hidden Mist Village also abstained.
"Hmph, you will all regret this!"
The Fourth Raikage smashed the table with a palm, then left without looking back.
The other five Kage, knowing that he was venting his emotions, didn't mind.
"Hokage, let's make a deal."
Just as Tsunade was about to leave with Izayoi and Kakashi Hatake, Chiyo suddenly stopped her.
"What deal?" Tsunade looked at Chiyo with some disgust.
Chiyo didn't care about Tsunade's gaze, and after taking a deep look at Kakashi Hatake, she said to Tsunade, "Our Sand Village is willing to deepen the relationship with your Konoha as allied countries, and can give up command when dealing with foreign enemies."
"Conditions?" Tsunade asked.
"We want a complete set of barriers." Chiyo said in a deep voice, "If that mysterious third party really exists, and its purpose is to provoke war in the Shinobi World, then sooner or later it will target our Sand Village and Hidden Stone Village. Our Sand Village needs a barrier that can withstand the impact of a meteor shower."
Hearing this, Ōnoki, who was just about to leave, also floated over and said with a smile, "Princess Tsunade, we in the Hidden Stone Village also hope to make a similar deal with Konoha."
"If possible, count us in the Hidden Mist Village as well." Genshi also walked over.
In normal times, Tsunade would only sneer, thinking that they were all wishful thinking.
But thinking of the Akatsuki and that mysterious person, and the scene of the Cloud Village turning into a huge meteor crater, Tsunade frowned slightly and fell into silence.
Soon, Tsunade made a decision.
"If you want to trade, send someone to Konoha to talk." Tsunade left these words and left with Izayoi and Kakashi Hatake.
After leaving the venue, they did not continue to stay in the Land of Iron, and returned to Konoha non-stop.
Like them, there were other great ninja villages.
After all, the five Kage didn't know whether the Akatsuki, or that mysterious third party, would take the opportunity to attack their ninja villages after they left their own ninja villages.
Teleporting behind Tsunade, Izayoi's gaze seemed to be fixed on the front, but in reality, he returned to the Land of Iron.
The corner of his mouth curled into a small arc.
He thought to himself, They've become smarter.
The scene returned to the Land of Iron, where the samurai wearing armor returned to their respective posts after finishing the work of protecting the five Kage.
One of the samurai came to a deserted place, and his body turned into a pure white White Zetsu Clone at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Obviously, the Akatsuki had been paying attention to the Five Kage Summit all along.
Because a White Zetsu Clone had an incident in Konoha, and it was uncertain whether it was the work of a mysterious person or Izayoi's Wood Release, Black and White Zetsu didn't dare to let the White Zetsu Clone use the Mayfly Technique to hide in the dark and eavesdrop. Instead, they preemptively replaced a samurai to openly listen in.
Izayoi's Wood Release indeed didn't detect the White Zetsu Clone at first.
That's exactly why he felt something was off.
The Five Kage Summit definitely couldn't be hidden from Black and White Zetsu.
Knowing that the Five Kage Summit was to deal with his Akatsuki, they would definitely try every means to obtain the results of the summit and then prepare countermeasures.
If the Mayfly Technique couldn't be used, then only the Impersonation Technique remained.
As for declaring war like Obito Uchiha in the original story, that was absolutely impossible.
In the original story, Obito Uchiha dared to declare war on the Five Great Shinobi Villages because he had the courage provided by ten thousand White Zetsu and Yakushi Kabuto's Impure World Reincarnation army, as well as the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path that had recovered seven Tailed Beasts, and his Kamui and Rinnegan.
Now that Nagato wasn't dead yet, he still had the final say in Akatsuki.
Although Nagato was very chuuni right now, even arrogant enough to call himself a god, he definitely wouldn't want to stir up trouble before the Three-Tails was revived, and wouldn't rashly offend the Five Great Shinobi Villages.
The result of this Five Kage Summit should satisfy Nagato very much.
As long as the Five Great Shinobi Villages didn't join forces, then he would have nothing to fear.
This result was also within Izayoi's expectations.
In the original story, the Five Great Shinobi Villages were able to put aside decades of hatred because they had a common enemy.
The Hidden Mist Village was controlled by Obito Uchiha, who controlled the Fourth Mizukage, creating the Bloody Mist, which was simply a blood feud.
In the Sand Village, Gaara had the One-Tail Shukaku extracted, and if Chiyo hadn't sacrificed herself, this Fifth Kazekage would have really died.
At that time, Konoha had just experienced Pain's Assault on Konoha. If Nagato hadn't used the Rinne Rebirth Technique at the end, its overall strength would probably be inferior even to the Hidden Mist Village.
The Cloud Village was even more so. At that time, the Fourth Raikage thought Killer B had already been captured, which was why he initiated the Five Kage Summit.
The Hidden Stone Village had also lost two Jinchuriki, and the mastermind behind Akatsuki was the 'Madara Uchiha' who had once humiliated Ōnoki. Coupled with the Eye of the Moon Plan mentioned by Obito Uchiha, the Five Great Shinobi Villages simply couldn't sit idly by.
And now, although Akatsuki was also a huge threat, there was also a mysterious person with the Sage Eye.
As long as one person believed in the existence of the mysterious person, then a shinobi alliance would be impossible.
Since Obito Uchiha didn't appear as Madara Uchiha, Ōnoki was even less likely to attack Akatsuki.
After all, only he knew that among the Akatsuki members who hadn't revealed their identities, there was his disciple Deidara.
Although Ōnoki had already listed Deidara as a missing-nin and issued a bounty after Deidara left the village.
But everyone in the Hidden Stone Village knew that this was a disclaimer for outsiders.
Having seen the photos of the huge meteorite crater in the Cloud Village, the Sand Village and the Hidden Mist Village, which were ranked last and second to last in overall strength, were even less likely to send troops to help the Cloud Village. No matter what the outcome, their shinobi villages would suffer heavy losses.
If they really succeeded in the attack, would Konoha and the Hidden Stone Village take the opportunity to launch a war and invade their countries?
From the beginning, the Cloud Village was isolated and helpless.
"The heat is still not enough! Raikage-dono, don't let me down!" Izayoi thought to himself.
Having tasted the huge profits brought by war, Izayoi found himself a little addicted.
Originally, his initial goal was to accumulate 990,000 Points before the end of Shippuden to upgrade the Otsutsuki Bloodline (Red) to an unknown level, which would have satisfied him.
But now, Izayoi feels that his ambition can be a bit bigger, upgrading both Red Perks to unknown new levels.
To achieve this goal, he can only make the Shinobi World suffer a little more.
After all, when aliens arrive in the future, it will definitely be people like Izayoi, who have connections with the Otsutsuki, rushing to the front lines.
Izayoi is just asking them for investment now!
