Following Tsunade's instructions, the other five shadows also turned around and looked up at Nagato, the leader of the Akatsuki organization.

"It's your plan to interfere with the Kingdom of Demons joining the alliance, Nagato. So, now that you have achieved the purpose of coming here, you still plan to continue fighting with us, and are you unwilling to return the tailed beasts?"

Tsunade was the first to ask.

"As I said, the balance of the ninja world with tailed beasts has been broken. Moreover, if I return the tailed beasts, the Rain Country will immediately fall into the past state. I don't believe that after you get the tailed beasts back,

I will let the country of rain go."

Nagato stared at him with an indifferent gaze.

Tsunade opened her mouth, wanting to refute, but finally chose to keep silent.

This is an unsolvable problem.

"The treaty is just waste paper and has no binding force. You Five Shadows know this better than I do. You have torn up treaties and betrayed the Allies more than once in the past. I hate using violence to achieve my goals, but violence is the only criterion for victory.

.The justice of the loser is not called justice. This is the rule set by you. So, let us start the fifth ninja war and decide the winner in one go. The winner gets everything, and the loser will be deprived of the world.

disuse."

Nagato said calmly, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.

"You actually talked about the Fifth Ninja War, are you serious? By then, your opponents will be the entire five major countries... no, all the countries."

Ohnoki tried to find flaws in Nagato's face.

But it's a pity that he couldn't analyze any information that was beneficial to him from Nagato's face. It was just a pure poker face.

"There is no need to threaten me with such words, Tsuchikage. You have parted ways with the Kingdom of Demons. As long as we deal with you, the rest of the countries will be as simple as picking out the treasures."

Nagato's voice was calm, turning a deaf ear to Onoki's threats.

"It seems that the purpose of your coming here is to officially declare war on us. Although I don't know that you used despicable means to sneak attack the Yondaime, but from now on, we Kirigakure will accompany you to the end."

Terumi Mei responded to Nagato in a firm tone.

Then, she glanced at the other four figures.

"What about you? There is no possibility of reconciliation between us and Xiao."

As Terumi Mei finished speaking, the Fourth Raikage snorted. He clenched his fists tightly and stared at Nagato with fierce eyes, without giving in at all.

"Needless to say, this is a challenge, of course. I will tear up any Ten-Tails or Infinite Tsukuyomi with my own hands!"

Tsunade, Rasa and Onoki did not speak, but acquiesced in the words of Mei Terumi and the Fourth Raikage Ai, and decided to stand on the same front and fight the Akatsuki organization to the end.

Of course, the country of ghosts also needs to be on guard.

This war is likely to be a complex situation involving three parties.

"Very well, using the ninja method to resolve all disputes in this era is exactly what I want. In that case, let's standardize the rules of this war."

Nagato nodded when he saw the Five Shadows responding to his declaration of war.

"rule?"

"That's right, since ninjas are used to end disputes, it is necessary to prevent irrelevant people from getting involved, such as civilians from warring countries."

Nagato's reincarnation eyes revealed a deep light, making it difficult to see what he was thinking.

"Nagato, what do you mean..."

Tsunade seemed to understand something.

"I know that some of your countries have begun to evacuate civilians at the border, but with such a large population, you cannot move to a safe area all at once. The same is true for us in the Country of Rain. Therefore, we need to set a date

, before that, make all preparations. I think you don’t want to see a large number of refugees, otherwise even if you win in the end, it will be a tragic victory."

Nagato narrated eloquently that the Fourth Raikage and Terumi Mei didn't feel much about such conditions, but considering that their country borders Rasa, Onoki and Tsunade, they began to think seriously.

Nagato's conditions.

Before the Five Shadows Conference was held, the Five Shadows had already expected that there would be a tough battle with the Akatsuki organization. Therefore, as early as the beginning of the talks, the daimyo from the three countries of Fire Country, Earth Country, and Wind Country

The government had already issued an order in advance to begin the transfer of ordinary people in the border areas with the Kingdom of Rain, moving them to safe areas to prevent the outbreak of war and countless casualties.

Even if an order is issued in advance, due to the large number of people and the need to establish a safe zone for civilians to survive the war, this kind of thing cannot be accomplished in a short time.

Moreover, due to the war preparations of the Kingdom of Ghosts, the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Earth may now need to relocate people in areas bordering the Kingdom of Ghosts, resulting in an even greater workload.

As for giving up this part of the population, Tsunade and others would not consider it at all.

In any era, population is a more expensive resource than land.

It can be said that it is the countless grassroots that support the entire aristocratic group, and the development funds of the Ninja Village depend on the distribution of the aristocratic group, but the main foundation still lies in the grassroots. If the grassroots is abandoned, it will be plundered by other countries, or it will cause huge casualties.

, how long does it take to recover after the incident?

In all the great ninja wars, the first priority of the great powers at the beginning of the war was to relocate the civilians from the border war zones of their own countries before fighting without any scruples. In this way, even if the war failed, they could still use the aristocratic group to collect money from the grassroots.

The huge tax bill will restore the trauma in just a few years.

Tsunade, Rasa and Onoki looked at each other, and then looked at the Fourth Raikage and Terumi Mei who didn't need to worry about this matter.

Kumogakure is located in the northeastern region of the mainland, far away from the Kingdom of Rain, and Kirigakure is isolated overseas. There is no need to worry about the war affecting the Kingdom of Water immediately.

After seeing the gazes of Tsunade and the others, even the Fourth Raikage, who was prone to restlessness, could not help but remain silent, frowning and thinking.

Now that an alliance has been formed, the problems faced by Konoha, Sunagakure, and Iwagakure at this time naturally require the entire alliance to solve them together.

What's more, the Fourth Raikage vaguely knows that he is likely to serve as the leader of the alliance in the future. If he does not handle it well, it is likely to cause the alliance to fall apart.

The Fourth Ninja World War is a lesson learned from the past. Due to the distrust between countries, they were defeated by the Kingdom of Demons one by one. The first priority now is to establish enough trust and identity, and we must not fight alone and repeat the same mistakes.

As a result, the Fourth Raikage took a deep breath. He was first knocked away by Nagato's Shinra Tensei, and then hit by Ayane's Divine Sky Strike. His body still looked intact, and even his energy and blood were very strong. There was no

A little bit of decline.

"Yes, the battle of ninjas should not affect irrelevant personnel. However, our great country still has deep space to effectively transfer civilians from border war zones. How will the Rain Country, controlled by Akatsuki, deal with this matter?"

The Fourth Raikage looked directly at Nagato and asked.

A big country represents not only its military power, but also its comprehensive strength such as land and population.

Even if half of the land is designated as a battlefield, the other half of the land in the safety zone can be temporarily used to resettle people.

But the Country of Rain cannot do this. This country is small and does not have much deep space. If you want to transfer the population, you must first have a so-called safe zone.

"During this war, the population of the Rain Kingdom will be transferred to the River Kingdom for resettlement."

Nagato paused and said to the Five Shadows.

"River Country?"

The Five Shadows headed by the Fourth Raikage were stunned.

"That's right."

The five shadows looked at each other.

Tsunade frowned and asked, "Will the River Country agree?"

"We can temporarily divide the River Country into a neutral country and promise them that this war will not affect the River Country. Use this as a bargaining chip and they will agree."

Nagato looked at the Five Shadows, seemingly confident in his persuasion.

After all, to temporarily divide the River Country into a neutral country, he alone does not count. It also requires the approval of more than half of the major countries.

"In this case, we need more time to raise troops and supplies, so we will set the date for the war."

Tsunade didn't wait for the Fourth Raikage to speak and asked.

After the Fourth Raikage heard this, what he wanted to say was this. The Alliance of the Five Powers needed some initiative.

Nagato thought about it for a while, nodded and said: "Yes, the time is up to you. If Akatsuki is defeated, the Kingdom of Rain will belong to you, and the land and population can be divided up at will."

In the same way, if Akatsuki wins, the result will be the same.

The vast land and population will gradually be cannibalized by the Kingdom of Rain, becoming a stepping stone for the Kingdom of Rain to become a great nation.

The Five Shadows breathed a sigh of relief. In such a war with 'rules', no matter how bad the impact is, at least it will not make the situation completely out of control.

Then another key question came to mind.

"What should we do with the Kingdom of Ghosts?"

Luo Sha then raised her own questions.

Shiraishi, as the representative of the Kingdom of Ghosts, has already 'escaped' from the scene.

They are unprepared for what the other side wants.

"We will put pressure on both sides. If the other side does not agree with our plan, we will first gather all our forces to kill the Kingdom of Ghosts."

The Fourth Raikage looked at Nagato.

"As the Raikage-dono said, the Demon Country is also one of the sovereign parties in this war, and it must be limited to the 'rules'. If it is rejected, Akatsuki will cooperate with the five major countries to eliminate the Demon Country first, and then decide

Victory or defeat between us."

Nagato nodded in agreement.

I even hope that Shiraishi's attitude will be tougher, so that Akatsuki can unite the five major countries and eliminate the Kingdom of Ghosts first.
