The four-nation alliance includes not only the four great nations of earth, water, wind, and thunder, but also the newly joined Iron Kingdom.

"What about the country of Taki? As the sixth country outside of the five countries, what is the attitude of the Taki-nin who own the Nanao?"

After the alliance was formed, when Shikage and Mifune, who had truly stood on the same side, were discussing the deployment of the next war, Mei Terumi asked midway.

When Senju Hashirama held the Five Kage Conference, although it did not squeeze into the five major kingdoms, its strength was still not as good as the underestimated Takigakure Village. After the Suna Ninja gave up the tailed beast to replace resources, it also received a quota for a tailed beast.<

/p>

The strength of the jinchūriki may be nothing to a handful of powerful ninjas, but with their huge tailed beast chakra and destructive power, they can play a greater role on the battlefield.

One tailed beast jade kill is enough to wipe out a large number of ninjas.

Therefore, the Four Nations Alliance has undoubtedly begun to win over Takigakure, a village that has Nanao but has rarely moved around in the ninja world in recent years.

It's just that sometimes things don't go as planned.

Hearing this, Ohnoki shook his head and said: "I sent an envoy to Takigakure Village to invite an alliance before, but Takigakure Village refused."

As a hidden village hidden by a huge waterfall, although it is surrounded by four countries, its unique geographical location has never been invaded by other countries.

Compared with the former Yugakure Village, it is fitting that the name "the village that forgot the war" should be assumed by Yugakure Village.

It was precisely because of the long period of peace that the Takigakure Village, which had long been lax in its military preparedness, rejected Ōnoki's proposal to unite against Konoha without even thinking about it.

Although he is aware of Konoha's ambitions, in the former's opinion, the size of the four countries is enough to deal with Konoha.

Coupled with the reminder of the tragic losses suffered by all participating nations in the previous three great ninja wars, I knew that if Taki-nin really joined the war with his size, he would probably be the first to collapse before Konoha could be destroyed.

The leader of Takigakure Village naturally refused.

There are many other countries that have this idea.

The ninja world is respected by the five major countries, but there are dozens of small countries scattered here and there.

Although they are aware of the dangers of the unfamiliar Konoha under the reform, they are more afraid of being used as cannon fodder by the four major countries. They also secretly hope that the four major nations and Konoha will lose both sides and even be unable to recover, so that they can have the possibility of replacing them.

It shouts support, but in fact it is neutral.

It can be said that in the current situation of the ninja world, all parties have their own small calculations.

For Onoki, who had already suffered from Kusano Kuni, Takino Kuni's reaction did not surprise him.

The addition of tens of thousands of warriors from the Iron Kingdom, which can completely offset the smaller countries, is already an unexpected surprise for the Four Kingdoms Alliance.

The only regret now is that both the four-tailed and five-tailed jinchūriki have been captured and will not be able to participate in the next war.

When he thought of this, Onoki hated the culprit named "Akatsuki" extremely.

Especially since the other party seemed to have disappeared recently, no matter how hard I looked, I couldn't find any clues.

......

The Four Shadows Conference is still going on.

Because they have decided on the policy of declaring war on Konoha as soon as possible, the Four Shadows are now discussing more about the specific time to send troops, the direction of attack, intelligence sharing, etc.

Of course, the most important point that cannot be ignored is who will be the commander-in-chief of the four-nation coalition.

Since there is an alliance, it is natural to select a commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, who can legitimately coordinate and command everything of the coalition forces.

Who doesn’t want to be the commander-in-chief of this unprecedented four-nation coalition?

Therefore, when discussing this point, unlike the rapid resolution of various problems before, it seems to be procrastinating.

At this moment, the Siying scene was somewhat silent.

The fourth generation Raikage Ai rationally did not express any reaction except that he knew that the strength of the village had declined too much and that he had no hope of becoming the commander-in-chief of the alliance.

Ohnoki, Mei Terumi and Rasa all expressed their pursuit of the position of commander-in-chief.

The three parties couldn't stop arguing, and in the end, Mifune spoke up:

"Everyone, our alliance this time is facing an unprecedentedly powerful Konoha. Even if we gather all our strength, seriously speaking, the chance of victory is not high. For this reason, we must be the best in all aspects of ourselves.

”

"Although Mr. Mizukage and Mr. Kazekage are good leaders, apart from Konoha, the Earth Kingdom has the strongest military strength at the moment. And Mr. Tsuchikage is not only powerful, but has also experienced the first and second times.

He has rich command and combat experience during the Third Ninja War. The scale of the upcoming Fourth Ninja War is far greater than before. I think it is most appropriate for Mr. Tsuchikage to serve as the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces.

."

"I agree."

After Mifune's words fell, Ai directly raised his hands in agreement, then looked at Terumi Mei and Rasa, and simply pointed out:

"Mizukage, you have only been in charge for a few years and have almost zero experience in commanding ninja armies. It is too risky for you to serve as the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces."

"As for Kazekage, although you have more experience than Mizukage, there is no need to elaborate on the lessons learned from your defeat at the hands of Konoha in three battles."

"When Onoki was an enemy, I didn't like him. But I have to say that the title of Two Scales is quite good for one of my own. In addition, his command ability and experience are indeed better than mine. So,

For the sake of the overall situation, the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces should be left to him."

The successive speeches of Mifune and the Fourth Raikage Ai undoubtedly pushed the commander-in-chief's balance towards Ōnoki.

Of course Onoki happily nodded to the two of them to express his gratitude.

Especially the Fourth Raikage.

He had expected Mifune to be on his side.

What he didn't expect was that the fourth-generation Raikage Ai, who had a hot temper and always refused to accept others, ignored the whole meeting and chose himself rationally until now.

So setbacks can change a person so much?

Ohnoki glanced behind him at Deidara who was quite surprised and said, "The old man is actually going to become the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces."

When will we give this person a chance?

In the following time, because Mifune and Raikage clearly sided with Onoki, Terumi Mei and Rasa, although a little regretful and unwilling, chose to follow the trend in the end.

At this point, it is a certainty that Onoki, the third Tsuchikage, will become the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces.

Just when Mifune, as the host, stood up and was about to announce the matter, an unexpected and unfamiliar voice suddenly sounded in the conference room:

"Hello~~~"

"Who!"

"Protect your lord!"

In an instant, the guards behind Siying and Mifune quickly became alert.

This is the venue for the Four Shadows Conference, so the news cannot be leaked.

Coupled with the large number of heavily guarded Iron Kingdoms outside, almost no one can get here without being discovered.

But someone happened to break in quietly. It seems that he is so powerful that he cannot tolerate the guards not responding with the utmost vigilance.

"Are they from Konoha?" Ai said coldly, still sitting in the same posture at the table.

In his opinion, the only one who has the ability to break into this place today is Konoha.

"No! It's not Konoha, it's Akatsuki!" Onoki turned his head. A strange half-black and half-white man wrapped in a pitcher plant was rising from the ground. His eyes swept past the black and red cloud windbreaker on his body.

His eyes were filled with murderous intent.

He didn't expect that he didn't find the Akatsuki organization, but the other party came to his door.

"Xiao? What is that?" Ai Buyi, who rarely has rebellious nins in his family, asked.

Although Mei Terumi and Rasa have heard of the name "Akatsuki", they don't know the details.

As the person who has had the most interactions with Akatsuki here, Onoki quickly explained: "An organization that gathers many S-level rebellious ninjas in the ninja world and has a big conspiracy. The four-tailed and five-tailed jinchūriki in my village are the people who were betrayed by Akatsuki.

Captured."

"What?" The expressions of everyone present couldn't help but change.

Not only because the four-tailed and five-tailed jinchūriki were captured, but also because of the Akatsuki organization.

This information about the S-class rebel ninja's ability to capture Jinchuuriki immediately made Ai, Terumi Mei, and Rasa much more wary of the Akatsuki organization.

Especially when the other party suddenly appears at the Four Shadows meeting.

"Where are Lao Zi and Han? What did your Xiao organization do when they caught them? Although I don't know why you appeared here, if you don't give me a satisfactory answer, you won't be able to leave this place today."
p>

Onoki, who was facing Zetsu, was speaking at this time, clasping his hands together, and the dusty light instantly lit up.

"Oh, no need to be so enthusiastic when you come out to say hello!"

Feeling the square white beam of light exuding a strong aura of death in Ohnoki's hands, Bai Zetsu exaggeratedly shouted with "fear" on his face,

"I'm just an insignificant pawn in the organization. It's better to let other people talk to you about such a big thing. Come out quickly, Obito! If you don't come back, I will be reduced to ashes."

The moment Bai Jue finished speaking, a twisted space appeared from beside it.

Under the astonished gazes of the four shadows and everyone present, Uchiha Obito, wearing a black red cloud windbreaker and no spiral mask on his face, directly revealed his true face, walked out.
