A few days later, the news that Iwagakure Village was attacked by the Akatsuki organization spread throughout most of the ninja world.
Regarding this news, many Ninja Villages expressed disbelief. Iwagakure Village had signed an alliance with Amegakure Village not long ago, so how could it encounter an attack from an ally?
Many ninja village leaders, including the third generation, doubted whether Onoki and Akatsuki organized a new conspiracy.
However, the news deliberately spread may be false.
However, it is difficult to falsify the information passed by the spies and the ruins of Iwagakure Village.
Onoki would not order the destruction of his own ninja village in order to cooperate unless he was controlled by the masked man.
Soon, the Third Hokage held a high-level meeting to confirm the authenticity of the external rumors and ask for their opinions.
The two consultants remained silent. With the rise of the younger generation, their opinions no longer played a decisive role, so they simply spoke and acted cautiously.
Tsunade crossed her arms and said, "Iwagakure Village is solely to blame for its alliance with the villains of the Akatsuki organization."
Jiraiya nodded and agreed: "Iwagakure Village has indeed suffered retribution, but the Four-Tails and Five-Tails also fell into the hands of the Akatsuki organization. This is not a good thing!"
The Third Hokage looked helplessly at Jiraiya and Tsunade. He came to ask for advice, but they obviously did not give good advice.
Whenever this time comes, the third generation will always look at the seat where Danzo is, but Danzo is rarely absent.
It's still an extremely ridiculous reason.
I have to protect the smiles on the faces of the villagers and have no time to attend high-level meetings.
Although I knew it might be the influence of the first-generation cells, it was not Danzo's original intention.
However, the dark side of Ninja Village is indispensable. Currently, he can only take on the concurrent role and cannot delegate authority to others.
At this time, the third generation took out a handwritten letter and said slowly: "This is a letter from the Tsuchikage, proposing to convene a five-kage conference! Discuss how to deal with the Akatsuki organization.
And the letter also mentioned that there seems to be internal strife within the Akatsuki organization."
Before she finished speaking, Tsunade frowned and said:
"I previously refused to participate in the Five Kage Conference to benefit from the alliance with the Akatsuki Organization. Now that I have encountered backlash, I propose to hold a conference. This is too disrespectful to other ninja villages."
Tsunade's words also expressed the thoughts of most of the ninjas who participated in the meeting.
Iwagakure, who previously formed an alliance with the Akatsuki organization, is an enemy.
How can it be so easy to change one's own ideas?
After pondering for a long time, Jiraiya also expressed his opinion.
"I think it is necessary to participate in the Five Kage Conference proposed by Iwagakure, but I must also invite the Akatsuki organization together. Why do we have to start a war if things can be resolved at the conference?
People can understand each other."
Until now, Jiraiya still firmly believed in the Son of Prophecy's statement, believing that Nagato's change was because of him, who wanted to change Nagato's mind through conversation and prevent the war.
"Jiraiya-sama." Uchiha Fugaku stood up, looked at Jiraiya and said, "Even if we can reach peace with the Akatsuki organization, how can we calculate the losses that the village has suffered in these years?"
Hizu also echoed: "Jiraiya-sama, please give up your unrealistic ideas."
Jiraiya opened his mouth, wanting to say something.
But everyone around him was looking at him with disapproval. Jiraiya was too naive to think that war could be avoided through mutual understanding between people.
Although Tsunade was a little unhappy with Uchiha Fugaku's speech, she had to admit that Jiraiya was too naive.
The third generation sighed secretly. If he could say these words at a high-level meeting, even if Jiraiya was willing to become Hokage, he would be doubted by the ninja clan leaders.
The turbulent Konoha needs a strong Hokage.
At this moment, Uchibo stood up, cleared his throat and said slowly:
"Jiraiya-sama and I share some of the same views. We must participate in the Five Kage Conference, but the village must take the initiative and let the Tsuchikage admit its fault.
The enemy of our enemy is our friend, and we need the power of Iwagakure to deal with the threat of the Akatsuki organization!"
As soon as this statement came out, senior executives started talking about it and argued endlessly for a while.
Jiraiya hesitated to speak. He had tried just now, but he also understood that there was no possibility of reconciliation between the village and the Akatsuki organization.
On one side is the apprentice who has been teaching for three years, and on the other side is the village where he has lived for decades.
He was caught in the middle and couldn't make a choice.
Tsunade still kept her arms crossed. She did not give any objection, but it was difficult to support the Uchiha proposal, so she could only acquiesce in this way.
The consulting duo took off their glasses and put them back on.
When Uchibo was speaking, they vaguely saw the figures of past Hokage intertwined together.
Unite the enemies of your enemies and unite all forces.
Isn't this the consistent style of the Hokage family? Why does it appear in Ichiha Uchiha?
Aren't Uchihas all narrow-minded, arrogant and withdrawn?
The third generation's eyes fell on the leader of the Ino Shikacho clan, especially Nara Shikaku.
As the Jonin squad leader and the village's staff officer.
Nara Shikaku must have thought of this, but he remained silent. This already illustrates the attitude of the Nara clan.
And the three clans of Pig, Deer and Die are on the same front.
They maintained absolute neutrality.
Then, the third generation set his sights on Kakashi who was near Uchibo.
Just now, Kakashi also stretched out his hand, but slowly lowered it, revealing a dead fish eye.
This reminded him of the scene decades ago when Mr. Tobirama died in a cover-up battle.
Because of the difference of a second, he became Hokage.
Danzo became the Hokage's assistant and gradually disappeared into the darkness.
Sometimes he wonders, what would happen if he and Danzo changed each other's identities?
However, as time goes by.
Instead, he became indecisive and had to take the overall situation into consideration in everything. Danzo, who no longer hesitated, became reckless.
Retracting his thoughts that were gradually diverging, Sandai interrupted the quarrel in the conference room and said slowly:
"I think what Captain Yin said makes sense. What do you think?"
"I also agree with Captain Yin's proposal."
"To participate in the Five Kage Conference, Iwagakure must spit out enough benefits."
"How can the safety of the village be ensured during the Five Shadows Conference?"
As the Hokage made the final decision, the voices in the conference room changed from whether to participate in the Five Shadows Conference to discussing the details of the Five Shadows Conference.
He nodded to Uchibo and asked him to sit down.
The Third Hokage's mood was very complicated, not only because of the disappointment brought by Jiraiya and Kakashi.
But he thinks he can handle a bowl of water equally and treats all ninjas in the village equally.
There is still a prejudice against the Uchiha clan in my heart.
Kakashi and Uchibo.
Aren't commoners and ninjas both members of the village?
