The Road to the Throne of White Eyes

Chapter 283 5 Shadows Will Not Talk

The venue for all previous Five Kage Conferences was held in the neutral Iron Country. These warriors who used chakra and wore armor had no deep vested interests with the major ninja villages, so it was a meeting place acceptable to all ninja villages.

This time, the place where Ohnoki summoned the Kage of each village for a discussion was of course the Land of Iron. Although the distance was not short, the speed of the ninja was not to be underestimated. Seven days later, the Kage of the five major ninja villages gathered in the Land of Iron.

The fifth Raikage, Darui, brought with him the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, Killer Bee; the fifth Mizukage, Mei Terumi, brought with him his bodyguard Ao; the third Tsuchikage, Ōnoki, brought with him his son Gento; the fifth Kazekage, Chiyo, brought with him Temari; and the fifth Hokage, Danzo, brought with him a mysterious figure wrapped in a robe.

The Five Kage Conference had always been about resolving issues directly; if they couldn't, war would likely ensue. However, whereas previous meetings had mostly addressed matters within the Five Great Ninja Villages, this time the issue was about their common enemy, creating a more tense atmosphere.

As the landlord, the Iron Country was also very cautious this time. Mifune had already arranged for his warriors to patrol and guard the periphery.

The venue had been set up early, and after everyone arrived, there was no hypocritical ceremony like the start of the meeting, and everyone went straight into the meeting room.

The atmosphere of the Five Kage meeting was very solemn from the very beginning. After the five Kage sat down, they stared at each other without saying a word. The guards behind them also had stern faces, as if they were ready to take action at any time.

As the convener of this Five Kage Conference, Ōnoki remained solemn and silent. Killer Bee, who usually hummed incessantly during meetings, was also silent this time. Meanwhile, Mei Terumi and Ao remained completely indifferent, not even paying attention to the others' gazes, completely immersed in their own world.

Seeing that no one spoke, Mifune could only cough dryly a few times and then speak up to start the conversation.

"The Kage of the Five Great Ninja Villages are all burdened with heavy responsibilities and busy affairs. The matter we are gathering to discuss is of paramount importance. The recent events within the Akatsuki organization have impacted the peace of the entire ninja world. I hope this Five Kage Summit will find an appropriate solution. I will not elaborate on the specifics; please begin your discussion."

After Mifune finished speaking, he stepped aside, but Ōnoki and the others remained silent. They just looked at each other and began to put pressure on them with their eyes.

"The Akatsuki organization is indeed very dangerous and has caused considerable unrest in the ninja world, but the members of the Akatsuki organization have no connection with the Kumo ninja. From the current intelligence, there are traitors from all four of your clans in the Akatsuki organization, but not the Kumo ninja!"

After being stared at with strange eyes for a long time, Darui could not help but speak first. He really didn't care much about the Akatsuki organization, and he wanted everyone to unite and destroy the Snow Village.

After he spoke, Grandma Chiyo also joined in the conversation.

"The traitorous ninjas from the Sand Village have been killed by our own hands. We are also victims. However, there are some ninja villages that often employed the Akatsuki organization in the past. I don't know what kind of private relationship they have."

"Indeed, the Iwagakure has hired the Akatsuki many times before. Even when the ninja villages were fighting, there was the shadow of the Akatsuki. And Deidara from the Akatsuki organization, that was your disciple. He caused such great damage to the Sand Village, it is really hard to say whether you did it on purpose."

Danzo was already very angry about Ohnoki's document, and after Chiyo-chan finished speaking, he directly named and criticized the person and added insult to injury.

Ohnoki convened this Five Kage Conference because he wanted Iwagakure, as the strongest of the five ninja villages, to take the lead in fighting against the Akatsuki organization and thus gain the greatest benefits.

He didn't expect that he would be attacked without saying a word. Those sarcastic words made Ohnoki furious, and he couldn't help but fight back.

"The Iwagakure has long severed ties with the Akatsuki organization. As for my worthless defector disciple, didn't he die in the Sand Village? Even if he wasn't dead, I would have arrested that bastard myself. The Iwagakure will not associate with such a public enemy of the ninja world!"

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

"When it comes to connections with the Akatsuki, Konoha can be said to have the greatest connection. The leaders of Akatsuki are all disciples of Jiraiya, and members of the Uchiha clan are also in Akatsuki. I don't know if the previous attack on Konoha was real or just a power struggle in Konoha. Speaking of which, Danzo, was Konoha really breached? I wonder if it can still hold on?"

"Speaking of which, what about your Yondaime, the Cloud Ninja? Was he really killed by a small ninja village that no one has ever heard of?"

At this moment, Ohnoki was a little too excited. He spoke like a machine gun. After he finished criticizing the Cloud Village, he turned his gun and pointed it at the Sand Village.

"And old woman Chiyo, you're still alive. It's a pity that the Fifth Kazekage passed away early, leaving only women in the Sand Village to step forward. Even the guard you brought with you, Chiyo, is a little girl!"

Ohnoki's venom was spitting out venom so quickly that he didn't realize that when he was complaining about women, Terumi Mei was also caught in the typhoon's tail. Hearing Ohnoki's contemptuous words about women, Terumi Mei couldn't help but show anger on her face.

However, before Mei Terumi could speak, Ōnoki turned around and gave her a combo of attacks.

"And the Mist Ninja, I didn't expect the current Mist Shadow to be a woman. And what about that brat Yagura Karujutsu? When was he killed?"

After hearing what Danzo said, Terumi Mei couldn't help but get furious. She slammed the table and asked back, "What's wrong with being a woman? Weren't you, Ohnoki, born of a woman?!"

At this time, the other people around also reacted to Ohnoki's fierce criticism and responded one after another.

"Can you estimate Konoha's strength? When the Shodaime is still here, do you, Ohnoki, dare to say a word?"

"You dare to mock the Kumogakure. Do you want to fight the Kumogakure first?"

"Always talking about war, you're really a Kumo Ninja barbarian!"

Ohnoki avoided Mei Terumi's question and complained about the Cloud Ninja, then turned his attention to Danzo.

"Does your foundation in Konoha mean that the village has been attacked time and time again, and even destroyed?"

......

Ohnoki is the shortest, but at this moment, floating in the air and debating with the crowd, he is the most imposing one.

Behind Ohnoki, Huang Tu looked at the old man who had let himself go and couldn't help but cover his face. He had clearly said before coming here that he would use this Five Kage Tournament to test the strength of each ninja village and gain the upper hand in the ninja world, but how did it end up like he was about to go to war with several ninja villages at the same time?

cough cough cough

Noticing the situation was getting out of control, Mifune, who had been sitting there for a while, stiffened his face and warned, "This Five Kage Summit is to analyze our common enemy and discuss the future of the ninja world. I don't think there's any need to elaborate further. Please get straight to the point."
