Upon arriving at the door of the meeting room, Mifune stopped and said calmly, "Only two people may accompany the Hokage during a meeting. To be fair, you should leave one person behind!"
It was obvious that Mifune was referring to Tensei, who was following behind. Danzo looked at Tensei and then at Mifune, and he hesitated for a moment about whether to use that ability.
However, just as Danzo hesitated, Tenchi slowly activated his Sharingan, patted Mifune on the shoulder, and said, "It's alright, I'm just going in to listen in for a bit, I won't disturb you!"
Tianqi's powerful illusionary abilities directly affected Mifune. After a moment of surprise, Mifune nodded and said, "Alright, come in with me!"
Seeing how easily Tianqi had taken control of Mifune of the Land of Iron, Danzo smiled. He had to admit that Tianqi was really capable and useful. It seemed that he should bring him over as soon as possible after this meeting.
And so, Tianqi and Danzo followed Mifune into the venue. The Kage didn't react much when they saw Danzo arrive, but when they saw Tianqi, the three Kage—Earth, Lightning, and Water—all showed different expressions.
The Tsuchikage, Onoki, clenched his fists tightly. He hated that despicable Uchiha Tenki. For so many years, he had lived in the shadow of Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Tenki, and now he desperately wanted to escape that shadow.
Raikage A was slightly surprised to see Tianqi arrive. His target for today's trouble was Uchiha Sasuke, but now that Uchiha Tianqi had arrived, he was caught off guard.
Mei Terumi, the Mizukage, looked like she was admiring a handsome man, while only Gaara, the youngest Kazekage, remained expressionless.
Tianqi didn't care what others thought. He found a spot, leaned against the wall, and watched everyone with great interest.
"I know I'm handsome, but you don't need to look at me like that. Start your meeting. I'm just here to listen in!" Tian Qi said nonchalantly, seeing that everyone was looking at him.
"Hmph!" Upon hearing Uchiha Tenki's words, Onoki immediately tilted his head and snorted coldly. Although he was very unhappy with Uchiha Tenki, he did not intend to make a move now.
"Please place the Five Kage's hats in front of you!"
As Mifune spoke, the five of them placed their straw hats, each adorned with the symbols of fire, thunder, earth, water, and wind, on the table.
"In response to Lord Raikage's call, the Five Kage have gathered here today. I am Mifune, the one in charge. Now, let's begin the Five Kage Summit!"
As soon as Mifune finished speaking, seeing that no one was going to speak first, the youngest Kazekage, Gaara, volunteered to make the first move.
"I'll speak first, and you all listen..."
Just as Gaara was about to speak, the eldest, Onoki, said with some disdain, "The Five Kage have really changed a lot. To become Kazekage at such a young age is truly remarkable. It seems your father taught you very well, but it's a pity you lack manners!"
"Yes, that's why I'm sitting here as the Kazekage!"
"Hahaha, what an arrogant guy!" Seeing that the Kazekage didn't act impulsively, Onoki laughed. If the Kazekage couldn't stand the mockery and acted rashly, then today would be interesting. It's just a pity that the other party didn't fall for the trap.
Tianqi looked at Onoki, who was still the same old bird, and shook his head helplessly. Onoki was still the same old guy, still thinking about relying on his age. Unfortunately, this was the era of young people, and no one would tolerate his bad habits.
"Lord Tsuchikage, please stop interrupting. Lord Kazekage, please continue!" Seeing Onoki ostracizing the Kazekage, Mizukage Mei Terumi stepped in to smooth things over.
With Terumi's intervention to smooth things over, Onoki stopped causing trouble.
"I was originally a Jinchūriki and was imprisoned by Akatsuki, so I think Akatsuki's existence is extremely dangerous. I have made requests to the Five Kage many times, but they have all been ignored except for the former Hokage. In fact, it is too late to join forces after all the Jinchūriki of each country have been taken away!" Gaara said calmly.
"Ha, it's a disgrace that the five great ninja villages can't set an example for other countries after their Jinchuriki are taken away. It's only natural to recover them secretly. It's impossible for them to seek help from other countries right after they've been taken away!" Onoki said, mentioning the other villages' methods of recovering their Tailed Beasts. It was clear that he didn't agree with Gaara's words at all.
"Discipline, prestige, and utterly boring outdated ideas!" Onoki disagreed with Gaara's words, and Gaara disagreed even more with Onoki's words. In this day and age, to still have such ideas was simply outdated.
When Gaara called him old-fashioned, Onoki thought to himself with disdain, "He's just a young man after all. He hasn't even thought through the pros and cons."
Regarding the methods of recovering the tailed beasts, Tianqi couldn't say who was right or wrong. Villages with strength would naturally not allow outsiders to interfere in the recovery of tailed beasts. In any case, Konoha Village would never allow outsiders to interfere.
As for the Sand Village, which was affected by the disaster, their handling of the Tailed Beasts was truly terrible. Their national strength was weak to begin with, so they had no choice but to seek help. However, it was precisely because the powerful villages all had the same mindset as Onoki that the Akatsuki organization had an opportunity to take advantage of them. It cannot be said that Onoki's ideas were outdated; it can only be said that the Akatsuki organization exploited the weakness of the great powers' desire to save face.
"Putting aside whether this is outdated or not, as the Mizukage, I admit that we are indeed too passive. But even if the Tailed Beast is taken away, it cannot be regarded as a threat immediately. Controlling the Tailed Beast requires technology, knowledge, and time!" Mei Terumi did not agree with Gaara, nor did she agree with Onoki. She was more like a neutral person.
"Jinchūriki need to grow and adapt to the tailed beast, but even so, it is still difficult to control. I've said too much, haven't I, Lord Kazekage?" Remembering that Kazekage had once been a jinchūriki, Onoki felt that he had said something pointless.
"Speaking of which, the only ones who can truly control the tailed beasts are Madara Uchiha, Hashirama Senju (the First Hokage), Yagura (the Fourth Mizukage), and Killer Bee (the Raikage's younger brother)!"
"Stop babbling on!" Just as Danzo mentioned Killer Bee, Raikage A immediately clenched his fist and slammed it directly onto the table in front of him.
Seeing this, the followers of each Shadow also jumped out to defend against the enemy, determined to protect their own Shadow.
"This is a place for discussion. Be careful not to act inappropriately!" Mifune said calmly as he watched the Five Kage's followers jump out to confront him.
"Step back, Wind, take the root!"
"You too, Kankuro and Temari!"
"Ao, Chojuro, it's alright!"
...
The five knights called their followers back. Having learned from this experience, the ten followers were even more cautious, their eyes fixed on the front, not daring to be careless in the slightest.
While everyone else was so tense, Tian Qi was the only one who looked on with amusement, without making any comment. Whether the Five Shadows lived or died was none of his business, so why should he make a comment?
