The Country of Iron can be said to be the only truly neutral country in the entire ninja world so far. The ninjas agreed not to attack this country a long time ago, so several ninja wars were avoided.
Toneri has also been to the Iron Kingdom several times, but before he came, he came as a traveler, but this time, he came as the fourth Hokage of Konoha.
As a neutral country, the samurai of the Iron Kingdom, led by their leader Mifune, perfectly interpret the word neutrality.
At the same time, the Kingdom of Iron has become the most suitable place to hold the Five Shadows Conference, and Mifune, the current leader of the Kingdom of Iron, is the host of this Five Shadows Conference.
A closed conference room.
Outside the conference room stood warriors wearing steel armor. They were responsible for the safety of this Five Shadows Conference.
In the center of the conference room, at a table that looks like a pentagon, there are five people sitting respectively, and in front of them are five bamboo hats representing the shadows of the highest powers of the Five Hidden Villages.
These five people are the shadows of the five largest hidden villages in the ninja world at this time.
Each of them was allowed to bring one escort into the conference room, plus the host Mifune and two warriors from the Iron Kingdom, a total of thirteen people.
"This Five Kage Conference was held for the Fourth Hokage of Konoha. All the hidden villages responded positively. It must be that something important happened that affects the entire ninja world.
In that case, please ask the Fourth Hokage of Konoha to explain it to us." Mifune said a few words briefly before stepping aside.
He is just a neutral organizer, and the real things still have to be left to them.
These five Kage are the fourth generation Hokage Toneri from Konoha, the fourth generation Mizukage Tachibana Yagura from Kirigakure Village, the fourth generation Raikage Ai from Kumogakure Village, and the third generation Mizukage from Iwagakure Village.
Onoki, the Dai Tsuchikage, and Rasa, the fourth Kazekage from Sunagakure Village.
"Without further ado, I believe everyone here knows what happened. Even though I reminded you many times, you didn't seem to care much. It wasn't until it actually happened that you finally felt the importance of this matter."
Toneri looked around at the other four people sitting at the table.
The main thing is to stay for a moment on the faces of Ai and Onoki.
Mainly because the two of them always felt that it would be bad luck to follow Toneri's advice and remained unmoved, so the current situation emerged.
"Hokage of Konoha, you'd better not go into too much detail on this matter. Since we have made the choice and assumed the corresponding responsibilities, you have the time, why not tell us more about this organization.
"
It was Onoki who spoke, and his face looked ugly at this time.
The originally refined tailed beasts of Iwagakure Village, the four-tailed beasts and the five-tailed beasts, are now missing. The whereabouts of the four-tailed jinchuriki are now unknown, but the five-tailed jinchuriki was forcibly abducted by the opponent. Even here, he will be ridiculed by Toneri. How can he look good?
That's weird.
Shiren looked at him and understood his mood at this time.
But it was this kind of mood that he needed.
If they didn't really experience some pain, how could they really use their strength and send real strength to the battlefield?
The other shadows also nodded. They all wanted to know the true details of the enemy this time.
Without being too pretentious, Toneri said directly: "The name of the organization that attacked the major jinchūriki of the Hidden Villages this time is the Akatsuki Organization. It was originally an inconspicuous organization born in the Land of Rain, but the original three members of this organization
Among the leaders, there is a very special person.
Because he possesses one of the three major eye techniques in the ninja world, the eyes that only appear in the Sage of Six Paths, the Samsara Eye!"
"Reincarnation Eye?!"
Several people looked at each other with more or less surprise in their eyes.
"Yes, I have seen the Rinnegan Eye with my own eyes. It is precisely because of the Rinnegan Eye that our Six-Tails Jinchuuriki Bubble was kidnapped from our Kirigakure Village." Gouju Yagura added.
Another witness to the Reincarnation Eye, which proves that this organization indeed possesses the Reincarnation Eye, which originally only existed in legends.
"Then what is the purpose of this organization?" asked the fourth generation Raikage Ai.
"Pursuing absolute peace." Shiren glanced at him and didn't hide it.
"Absolute peace?" Ai frowned.
"Yes, absolute peace. The Samsara Eye can summon a container that can hold the power of the nine tailed beasts. By concentrating all the power of the nine tailed beasts together, the sleeping Ten Tails can be awakened.
You all know how terrifying the power of any tailed beast can be, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the ten tails summoned by gathering nine tailed beasts can destroy the world."
"They want to use this absolute power to unify the world and then achieve the so-called 'absolute peace'?" Luo Sha, the fourth generation Kazekage, also said.
"This is the goal of the three original leaders of their Akatsuki organization."
From Shiren's words, they heard something different again. What were the original goals of the three leaders?
"What do you mean? Lord Fourth Hokage, you might as well finish your talk at once. Sirs, please don't ask questions for the time being and let Hokage finish." Mifune, who was in charge of presiding at the side, said.
Everyone pursed their lips and suppressed the anxiety in their hearts.
"Based on our investigations in Konoha over the past few years, one thing has been determined.
The reason why this organization, which was born in the humble beginnings of the Kingdom of Rain, was able to get out of the Kingdom of Rain and develop to this extent is because there is another person behind the three leaders of this organization who is controlling them.
As for this person, you may have experienced his name, or even met him.
He is... Madara Uchiha!"
After a brief silence.
"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible. Judging from a person's age and lifespan, Uchiha Madara should have been dead long ago!"
Ohnoki reacted most excitedly. He was also the only one among the people here, besides Toneri, who had seen Uchiha Madara and seen Uchiha Madara's power.
When he followed his teacher Wu to find Uchiha Madara and asked Iwagakure Village to form an alliance with Konoha, they were driven out by his absolute power.
Although the other few people have never met him, they have all heard of his name.
What they heard about Uchiha Madara's power from those rumors was enough to double their pressure.
Toneri didn't care what kind of gaffe Ohnoki made, he continued:
"Uchiha Madara's plan is more extreme than the plans of the three original leaders of the Akatsuki organization.
He wants to completely resurrect the Ten-Tails, become a Jinchuriki of the Ten-Tails, gain the power of the Sage of Six Paths, and cast a forbidden technique that covers the entire ninja world, the Infinite Tsukuyomi!
The light of Infinite Tsukuyomi can pass through all obstacles in the world, even if it is hidden dozens or even hundreds of meters underground. As long as it is illuminated, it will enter the illusion world of Infinite Tsukuyomi, and with its own
Ability can never break free from this illusion.
After people all over the world enter this infinite Tsukuyomi world, the Ten-Tails, the sacred tree, will absorb chakra from everyone. Once all the chakra disappears, then war will never happen again. In the true sense,
And there comes peace.”
After listening to Toneri's words, everyone in the conference room fell silent again.
Toneri told Uchiha Madara's plan in full, and they felt an unreal feeling after listening to it.
A group of people like him can only look after his own one-third of an acre, while the other party's target is actually the entire ninja world.
"So, this is why, Hokage, you asked Dodai to bring me that condition, right? You knew at that time that this would happen, right?" Ai's eyes as big as bull's eyes stared at She closely.
people.
"I have reminded you countless times to be optimistic about your jinchūriki. Isn't this obvious enough?
If I told you about Uchiha Madara's plan at that time, I'm afraid you would all think me a fool, right?"
Toneri rolled his eyes at him angrily.
"Wait a minute, first you still have to prove that Uchiha Madara is really alive before the subsequent series of events or plans can be considered established."
Ohnoki still didn't believe that Madara Uchiha was still alive.
Toneri shrugged, "I can only say that I fought against him, and many people in Konoha can prove that the place where the fight took place was in Konoha, and almost a third of Konoha was destroyed.
The venue where the Chuunin Examination was held was built on the ruins after my fight with him."
"So, you beat him? Or, you two are evenly matched?" Ohnoki continued to ask.
"He was not in very good shape at the time, maybe not half of what he was in his prime. Is it any surprise that I beat him?
Otherwise, I wouldn’t be sitting here talking to you, Konoha should have disappeared at that time, and what you need to face is probably Uchiha Madara, who is comparable to the Sage of Six Paths."
After a slight pause, Toneri looked at the Fourth Raikage Ai again, "By the way, you should have seen him, the Fourth Raikage."
"I've seen it before?" Ai Mingming was stunned.
Toneri nodded, "Do you still remember that during the Third Ninja War, in order to resist your attack, we Konoha sent me and Minato into the rear of your Kingdom of Thunder to wreak havoc?
At that time, your eight-tailed Jinchuuriki, Kirabi, and I were both fully transformed into tailed beasts, but from the other side of the battlefield, a three-tailed creature appeared that shouldn't have appeared.
After attacking me, he attacks you again.
And the person standing on top of the three tails controlling it was Uchiha Madara, and that was also the first time I met him."
"You mean...that person at that time was Madara Uchiha?"
Ai immediately recalled what happened at that time, and he had always understood those things very clearly.
"That's right."
For a moment, the entire conference room fell into silence again, everyone was digesting the exciting news they heard from the speaker.
After a long time, Luo Sha finally spoke: "One-tailed Shukaku, three-tailed beasts, the fifth-tailed beast from Iwagakure Village, and the six-tailed beast from Kirigakure Village. So a total of four tailed beasts have fallen into their hands?"
This was an explosion of four tailed beasts, and they all knew very well how terrifying the power would be.
"No, it's not four, it should be five." Shiren shook his head.
"Five? Which one else? Nanao?"
"The three-tailed beast died three years ago when I fought with Uchiha Madara. According to the time interval between the tailed beast's self-resurrection, it should be resurrected in the near future.
It was precisely because of the death of the three tails and the lack of some important tailed beast chakra that they postponed the plan for three years.
However, the three tails are about to be resurrected, so this is the best time for them to take action.
Facts have proved that they have indeed started.”
Hearing this, Luo Sha frowned, "That's not right. If there are no three tails, then there will be a vacancy for two tailed beasts."
"Are they the Four-Tails and the Seven-Tails?" Onoki said solemnly.
Toneri nodded, "We in Konoha have been looking for traces of Nanao, but we haven't seen even a hair on Nanao, so I have every reason to suspect that Nanao should have made a fuss before they started their plan.
We in Konoha have been captured before.
There is also the Four-Tailed Jinchuuriki Lao Purple. We have not found any traces of him, but we found traces suspected to be left by the Melting Release strongman in a place in the Bear Country, so I suspect that the Four-Tailed Jinchuuriki is also with us.
Without knowing it, he has been captured by the other party.
At the same time, if I guess correctly, Kirabi, the eight-tailed jinchuriki of Hidden Cloud Village, was seriously injured and was not captured by the opponent. However, the eight-tails should have at least had something taken away by the opponent, right? At least part of the chakra."
Several people looked at the Fourth Raikage, who had dark skin to begin with, and his face turned even darker at this time.
But he still nodded solemnly and admitted: "That's true.
Bi and the members of the Akatsuki organization wearing black red cloud uniforms fought in Leiyun Gorge. I was not in the village at the time, but when I learned about it, Bi told me that the Eight-Tails had two tails chopped off and they barely managed to save him.
"
After learning that it was pretty much what he had guessed, Toneri nodded, "I'm sorry to tell you something. To resurrect the Ten-Tails, you don't need all the tailed beast chakra.
So in addition to the first, fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh tails, they also obtained part of the eight tails' chakra, leaving only the second, third and nine tails.
However, Uchiha Madara once controlled the Three-Tails, so I don’t know if he has part of the Three-Tails’ chakra.
As far as the current situation is concerned, we are not optimistic.
The only thing that limits them now may be that the tailed beast's overall chakra amount is relatively small, and the tailed beast's total chakra amount is most likely already satisfied to a large extent."
For some people other than Sheren, when they suddenly learned that the matter was so serious, they were definitely under a lot of pressure.
"In other words, now there are only nine tails that belong to Konoha and the second tail that belongs to you, the Fourth Hokage, and they don't have it?" Onoki's face was solemn.
"To be more precise, there should be only two tails.
There is one thing that you may not know very clearly. They were the culprits of the Nine-Tails Rebellion in Konoha three years ago. Although we got the Nine-Tails back in the end, the Nine-Tails was originally the psychic beast of Uchiha Madara.
, it is not surprising that he retains the chakra of the Kyuubi.
Moreover, there are many people who possess the Kyuubi's chakra. There must be some in the Fire Temple in Konoha, and the original Golden Horn and Silver Kaku of your Kumogakure Village also have the Kyuubi's chakra.
Moreover, the chakra on their bodies is relatively strong, and they can even transform into tailed beasts to a certain extent."
Another not-so-good news.
From this point of view, it seems that only the two tails on Toneri's body are absolutely clean.
The atmosphere in the conference room seemed less than ideal.
But compared to the others, Ai, the Fourth Raikage of Cloud Hidden Village, had a heavier expression. He opened his mouth slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it.
They could already vaguely feel the pressure from Uchiha Madara and the Ten-Tails.
Even Mifune, who originally thought he had little to do with him, also felt such pressure.
"The Fourth Hokage, what do you think we should do?" Ohnoki was the first to break the calm.
"Everyone, gather your strength, look for the location of the members of the Akatsuki organization, and look for the various bases of the Akatsuki organization. Once you encounter a member of the Akatsuki organization, don't hesitate to kill them directly.
I think the other side will show up with stronger power, and it is very likely that the Fourth Ninja War, which will once again sweep the entire ninja world, is coming."
The Fourth Ninja War.
What a harsh word.
It sounds absurd for an organization to challenge the entire ninja world, but from Tobi's words, few people seem to think it's impossible.
Because the opponent not only has a man named Uchiha Madara, but also a large number of powerful ninjas, as well as several tailed beasts.
The existence of tailed beasts has always been regarded as a secret weapon and a deterrent by major hidden villages.
But with such an existence, the opponent actually has five or six in his hands, and the deterrent effect is not to mention how great it is.
"By the way, please tell me the intelligence and identity information of those who attacked the jinchuriki of your village." Toneri said again.
Hearing this, several people looked at each other, but no one had the nerve to speak.
In the end, it was Goji Yagura who spoke first: "The ones who attacked our Kirigakure Village this time were the S-class rebel ninjas of our Kirigakure Village, Juzo Loquat, and the apparent leader of the Akatsuki organization, the user of the Samsara Eye, but Loquat
Juuzang has been killed by us on the spot, and only the user of the Samsara Eye has been taken away."
If someone speaks first, others will have nothing to hide.
"The ones who attacked our Sand Hidden Village were also the S-class rebel ninjas of our Sand Hidden Village, the Red Sand Scorpion and the Burning Escape Leaf Cang!"
The host looked at him in surprise.
Two S-class traitorous ninjas?!
The Red Sand Scorpion who once killed the third Kazekage of Sand Hidden Village, and the Burnt Release Leaf Cang who competed with Rasa for the position of the fourth Kazekage.
As for why Yakura rebelled against the village, we can only ask the current fourth-generation Kazekage Rasa. It is probably because Rasa, as the victor, wanted to get rid of her and took the opportunity to be fooled by Obito and Zetsu.
Now that Goju Yagura and Rasa have spoken, Ohnoki and Ai have nothing to avoid.
Among the people who attacked their two hidden villages, there were more or less rebellious ninjas from their villages.
There is no way, if there is no rebel nin who is familiar with their hidden village to lead the way, the village's defense alone will not be so easy to enter.
In general, it is within the Akatsuki organization that rebel ninjas from various hidden villages have gathered. It is precisely because so many rebel ninjas have gathered that there is no basic situation in each hidden village that the Akatsuki organization does not know.
.
Our own side's goal is too big, and in the eyes of the opponent, it seems like there are no secrets, but our side doesn't know much information about the other side.
Just when everyone was thinking about their next plan.
Toneri suddenly raised his eyebrows and stood up from the chair, causing the chair to rub against the ground and make a harsh sound.
Following his movements, everyone's eyes focused on him.
But soon their eyes followed Toneri's and moved to the middle of the conference room table.
