After the daimyo left, the atmosphere in the room became completely silent.

Tsunade didn't touch the tea snacks placed on the table in front of her. She didn't feel at all relaxed about enjoying tea.

It's really too bad.

Why are things like this?

Although a moment of regret flashed through her heart, her mood quickly calmed down from the extreme panic.

This was a skill she had learned on the battlefield over the years and accumulated many life-and-death experiences. Such a panic would not cause her to become completely confused.

After calming down, compared to the anger that arose in my heart before, there is now more of a sense of confusion and confusion.

A splitting headache.

However, the other three figures sitting on the seats would not shut up because of her inner entanglement and distress.

Less than half a minute after the daimyo left, Rasa, the fourth Kazekage sitting in the seat next to Tsunade, coughed, attracting everyone's attention.

"Now that everyone is here, before the formal meeting, let me first explain to Mr. Hokage the reason why we are here."

Considering that Tsunade had just ascended to the position of Hokage less than half a year ago, and the death of the third Hokage was too sudden, before the meeting, Rasa felt it was necessary to explain to Tsunade, the new Hokage, that these Kage traveled thousands of miles to appear in

Here's the reason.

Regarding this, neither Onoki nor Lost Position had any objection.

Luo Sha then said to Tsunade: "The thing is probably like this, Mr. Hokage. In view of the suspicion that the country of ghosts sells arms to control the war market, if this country's practices are not restricted now, the future may be

It will cause more catastrophic problems, so we must counteract this. And, most importantly, the Kingdom of Ghosts is instigating the lower class people around the world and launching attacks on the aristocratic areas of the place, seriously damaging the country's rule.

...This kind of practice is no longer limited to some small countries, and now even the Water Country living overseas has been affected by this. I think Mr. Mizukage has the most say on this point."

With that said, Luo Sha directed his words towards the lost position.

Shicang's face remained calm, but there was a slight gloominess in his eyes. It was obvious that his heart was far from as calm as he appeared on the surface.

"What Lord Kazekage said is true. The time of origin of the disaster cannot be verified for the time being, but since last year, many areas of the Kingdom of Water have been harassed by lawless elements, which has affected the national security of the Kingdom of Water. These things

The lawless elements can basically be summarized as organized by the people in the Kingdom of Water. The specific leader is unknown and the scale is unknown... Although the fighting force is very weak, the organization is very powerful. I think there must be something different behind these people.

The mastermind behind the scenes.”

Although Fucang did not point out who was behind the scenes to control these mass organizations, everyone present could hear the hint in Fucang's words. The person behind the scenes was none other than the Kingdom of Ghosts.

This country is no longer satisfied with controlling the war market between small countries. It has begun to use its influence to radiate its dominance to the surrounding big countries...

There is also a certain reason for choosing the country of water.

The Kingdom of Water is located overseas. Even though commercial and trade routes have been opened in recent years, the country's atmosphere is still closed in many cases.

Therefore, it will be more difficult for mainland countries to obtain information about the Kingdom of Water, and the information they receive will also be seriously lagging behind.

Based on this judgment, the Kingdom of Ghosts chose the Kingdom of Water as their experimental base, which was a very sophisticated strategic method.

The answer is obviously that although the Kingdom of Ghosts did not achieve specific success, it did not fail, because the success attracted the attention of Kirigakure Village and caused unstable turmoil within the Kingdom of Water.

It is said that many minor nobles were uprooted in the riots. For a period of time, many people felt that they were in danger and did not dare to go out.

If Kirigakure hadn't dispatched ninja troops in time to suppress these riots, things might have gotten out of hand.

The loss of positions clearly made everyone aware of the dangers of the Kingdom of Ghosts to big countries like them and to ninja villages.

If the Kingdom of Ghosts successfully pits the domestic people against the aristocratic group headed by the Daimyo, it will inevitably affect the strength of the aristocratic group's rule.

Once the interests of the aristocratic group are not protected, the benefits allocated to the Ninja Village will be reduced, and the Ninja Village will even lose the soil for survival.

Therefore, the actions of the Demon Country are not only shaking the interests of the aristocratic group of the big country, but also shaking the interests of the Ninja Village who provide military protection for the aristocratic group of the big country.

In terms of consistent interests, the Ninja Village and the aristocratic group have a very close binding relationship.

It can be said that one is prosperous and both are prosperous, and one is deprived of both.

"…So, in order to prevent possible chaos, should we take the lead in deploying the Kingdom of Ghosts?"

Tsunade had this feeling after listening to what Rasa and Kucang said.

Given the judgment given to these two people, it is not that she cannot understand the worries in their hearts.

After all, no matter how much she tried to explain, she could not hide that the Kingdom of Ghosts had indeed done such a thing.

Otherwise, the two shadows Luo Sha and Shi Cang would not appear here.

But how would Shiraishi feel if he knew what happened here?

In this kind of era, whether it is a war era or a peaceful era, many people will die.

Just like she helped the Raikage in the past to remove the ninjutsu of the Senruzu, but the Raikage backhandedly slaughtered the Sugi Village who hired the Senzozu to hunt him down.

For a man like Raikage, justice lies in his fist.

And justice like Raikage is justice that Tsunade cannot agree with.

"Hokage-dono, this is not a possibility, but a certainty. The footsteps of the Kingdom of Ghosts and the ambition in its heart will not stop at this stage."

Rasa refuted Tsunade's words.

Now that things have come to this, it will be useless to try to avoid them.

Because the Kingdom of Ghosts is using its own power to severely shake the foundations of the five traditional powers. This alone is enough for them to give a reason to launch a war against the Kingdom of Ghosts.

The safest approach is to nip this threat in the cradle before it becomes a huge threat.

"I heard that Chiba Shiraishi was your student, Princess Tsunade, when he was in Konoha... Are you starting to become soft-hearted when facing your own students?"...

Ohnoki smiled at this time, his old tone full of lessons and ridicule, as if a wise man from above dominated everything.

"I don't dare to bear such words, old man with two scales."

Not to be outdone, Tsunade shot Ōnoki with a sharp gaze, refusing to give an inch.

"Haha, who knows what you are thinking. After all, the look on your face just now didn't look right... Speaking of which, there were rumors among you in Konoha before, saying that when Orochimaru defected, your mentor, the Third Hokage,

, and it was also because he was merciful and could not bear to kill Orochimaru, so he let him go. Will this kind of history happen again to you, a student? "

Which pot does Onoki not open and lift?

Tsunade frowned and was about to refute, but Luo Sha intervened and said helplessly: "Okay, you two, please don't quarrel over such inconsequential matters. I believe that Mr. Hokage will not be so private.

Those of you who are divided, Tsuchikage-dono, please also have more trust in Hokage-dono."

"That is to say, Lord Tsuchikage, you are already an old man in the ninja world. There is no need to talk to young people like us. Be careful not to protect yourself later."

The sound of losing position sounded from the side.

Onoki snorted lightly and became dissatisfied with losing his position.

He does not have a good impression of Konoha or even Kirigakure.

According to the information obtained by the ANBU of Iwagakure Village, Konoha's S-level rebel ninja Uchiha Itachi and Kirigakure's S-level rebellious ninja Gan Kaki Oni had a successful relationship during the Chuunin Examination last year, taking advantage of the distraction of Iwagakure Village's attention.

The Jinchuriki who stole their Iwagakure village has not been recovered yet.

Therefore, when he met Konoha's Hokage and Kirigakure's Mizukage, he naturally didn't look good to them.

From Ohnoki's point of view, this was a manifestation of the incompetence of these two villages in not pursuing the rebels in their own village.

"I don't need you to teach me how to do things. So, if Princess Tsunade has no objection, let's officially enter the issue. Our time here is limited, and there is only one day left for discussion. We must

Before the end of the time, all the detailed procedures must be agreed upon to avoid mistakes in the future.”

Ohnoki made the final decision and moved the issue forward.

Luosha and Guicang also looked at Tsunade, waiting to see her decision.

The expression on Tsunade's face remained the same, but she was sighing secretly in her heart.

It's really tricky.

Judging from the current situation, Onoki, Luo Sha and Guancang have obviously joined the so-called "Ghost Slayer Alliance".

The steps of the daimyo of the four countries must have been consistent.

In other words, although her suggestions occupy a certain proportion, they are not likely to affect the overall situation.

In other words, her attitude was one of passive acceptance.

After all, the Sandaime Hokage, who last took charge of Konoha, also agreed to join this alliance.

In addition to the Kingdom of Thunder and Kumogakure, the Great Nations join the four.

It can be said that it has concentrated more than half of the power of the ninja world.

The destructive power this alliance will create is unimaginable.

"In that case, let's get started."

Although her heart felt as bitter as she wanted, and she felt aggrieved by being deceived, in this case, it didn't matter whether she agreed or not...

Because, while she was away from Konoha, the advisory group in the village had probably already taken action.

In this war, her order does not mean that it is absolute. It must be fought even if it is not fought. It is just a matter of time.
