Chapter 283 The Five Kage Summit

The Five Kage Summit has always been held in the neutral Land of Iron. These chakra-wielding, armored warriors have no deep vested interests with the various ninja villages, making it a meeting place acceptable to all of them.

The place where Onoki convened the Kage of each village for discussions was, of course, the Land of Iron. Although the distance was not short, the speed of ninjas was not to be underestimated. Seven days later, the Kage of the five great ninja villages gathered in the Land of Iron.

The Fifth Raikage, Darui, was accompanied by Killer Bee, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki; the Fifth Mizukage, Mei Terumi, was accompanied by her bodyguard, Ao; the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, was accompanied by his son, Kotsuchi; the Fifth Kazekage, the acting Chiyo, was accompanied by Temari; and the Fifth Hokage, Danzo, was accompanied by a mysterious figure completely wrapped in a robe.

The Five Kage Summit has always been about resolving issues directly; if a problem cannot be solved, war is likely to break out. However, previous meetings mostly discussed internal matters of the Five Great Shinobi Villages, while this time the topic is the common enemy of the Five Great Shinobi Villages, making the atmosphere even more tense.

As the host country, the Land of Iron was also very cautious this time, and Mifune had already arranged for his samurai to patrol and guard the outer perimeter.

The venue had been set up well in advance. After everyone arrived, there was no need for any pretentious ceremony or anything like that to start the conference. They went straight into the meeting room.

The atmosphere at the Five Kage Summit was tense from the very beginning. After the five Kage were seated, they stared at each other without saying a word, and their guards behind them all had stern faces, as if they were ready to take action at any moment.

As the convener of this Five Kage Summit, Onoki remained solemn and did not speak first. Killer Bee, who used to hum incessantly during meetings, was also silent this time. Mei Terumi and Ao, on the other hand, acted completely indifferently, ignoring the gazes of those around them, as if they were completely immersed in their own world.

Seeing that no one had spoken, Mifune could only cough a few times before starting the conversation himself.

"The Kage of the Five Great Shinobi Villages are all burdened with heavy responsibilities and busy with affairs, so the matters we are gathered here to discuss are very important. The recent troubles caused by the Akatsuki have affected the peace of the entire shinobi world, and we hope that this Five Kage meeting can provide a suitable solution. I won't go into the specifics, please begin your discussion."

After Mifune finished speaking, he stepped aside, but Onoki and the others remained silent, exchanging glances and exerting pressure with their eyes.

"The Akatsuki is indeed very dangerous and has caused quite a stir in the ninja world, but its members have no connection with the Cloud Ninja. According to current intelligence, there are rogue ninja from all four of your clans within the Akatsuki, but none from the Cloud Ninja!"

After being stared at with strange looks for a while, Darui couldn't help but speak first. He didn't really care about the Akatsuki organization and wanted everyone to unite and destroy the Snow Village.

After he spoke, Granny Chiyo naturally joined in the conversation.

"The rogue ninja from Sunagakure have already been killed by our own hands; we are also victims. However, some ninja villages used to frequently hire Akatsuki members; we wonder what their relationship was like behind the scenes."

"Indeed, Iwagakure has hired Akatsuki many times before, and Akatsuki was even involved in battles between ninja villages. And Deidara from Akatsuki, he was your disciple. He caused such great losses to Sunagakure, it's really hard to say whether you did it on purpose."

Danzo was already furious with Onoki's documents, and after Granny Chiyo finished speaking, he directly named names and kicked her while she was down.

Onoki convened this Five Kage Summit because he thought that Iwagakure, as the best-preserved of the five great ninja villages, could take the lead in dealing with Akatsuki and thus gain the greatest benefit.

Unexpectedly, he was attacked without saying a word. The sarcastic remarks made Onoki angry, and he couldn't help but retort.

"Iwagakure severed ties with Akatsuki long ago. As for my good-for-nothing traitor, wasn't he already dead in Sunagakure? Even if he weren't dead, I would personally arrest that bastard. Iwagakure will not associate with such an enemy of the ninja world!"

After setting the tone, Onoki changed the subject and immediately started mocking everyone.

"Speaking of connections with the Akatsuki, Konoha is probably the most prominent. The Akatsuki's leader is Jiraiya's disciple, and there are also members of the Uchiha clan in the Akatsuki. I don't know if the previous attack on Konoha was real or just a power struggle within Konoha. Speaking of Danzo, has Konoha really been breached? I wonder if it can hold on?"

"Speaking of which, what happened to your Fourth Hokage of the Cloud Ninja? Was he really killed by some small ninja village you've never even heard of?"

At this moment, Onoki had gotten a little carried away, and he spoke like a machine gun, immediately turning his guns on Sunagakure after just finishing criticizing Kumogakure.

"And old woman Chiyo, you're still alive! It's a pity the Fifth Kazekage passed away so early, leaving Sunagakure with only women to represent them. And even the guard you brought, Chiyo, is a little girl!"

Onoki's venom spray was so fast that he didn't realize that when he made his disparaging remarks about women, he had also accidentally caught Mei Terumi in the aftermath of the typhoon. Hearing Onoki's contemptuous words about women, Mei Terumi's face couldn't help but show anger.

However, before Mei Terumi could speak, Onoki turned around and delivered a combo attack to her.

"And the Mist Ninja, I didn't expect the current Mistkage to be a woman. What about that kid Yagura Karatachi? When was he killed?"

Upon hearing Danzo's words, Mei Terumi, unable to contain her rage, slammed her hand on the table and retorted, "What's wrong with women? Weren't you, Ōnoki, born of a woman?!"

At this moment, the others around also reacted to Onoki's outburst and began to retaliate.

"Can you even begin to fathom the depths of Konoha? When the First Hokage was still alive, would you, Onoki, have dared to utter a single word?"

"Dare to mock the Cloud Ninja Village? Do you want to fight the Cloud Ninja first?"

"They're always talking about war, they're just barbaric Cloud Ninja!"

Onoki avoided addressing Mei Terumi's question by making a sarcastic remark about the Cloud Ninja, and then turned his attention to Danzo.

"Does Konoha's strength refer to being repeatedly attacked and even destroyed?"

......

Although Onoki was the shortest, he was the most imposing figure as he floated in the air, engaging in a verbal battle with the assembled heroes.

Behind Onoki, Huang Tu watched the old man letting loose and couldn't help but cover his face. Before coming here, he said he would use this Five Kage Summit to test the strength of the various ninja villages and seize the right to speak in the ninja world. How did it turn into something that almost led to war with several ninja villages at the same time?

cough cough cough

Sensing that the situation was getting out of control, Mifune, who had been watching the drama unfold for a while, spoke up with a stiff expression: "The purpose of this Five Kage Summit is to analyze our common enemy and discuss the future of the ninja world. I think there's no need for any more words. Please get straight to the point."
