The Official War Begins!

Fourth Raikage: "I agree!"

Terumi Mei: "I agree as well!"

Kazekage Agent Chiyo: "I support."

Onoki: "😐"

Four out of the five Kage had agreed, but Onoki was still hesitant.

Several people looked at Onoki simultaneously.

There was a trace of sweat on the latter's forehead, but he still said firmly: "I disagree!"

Orochimaru raised his eyebrows, it seemed this little old man still needed to be dealt with!

"Do you have any concerns, Tsuchikage?" Mifune asked proactively.

"Unite the five villages? Form a ninja coalition? Then who will be the commander of this coalition? Aren't you worried that some people will take this opportunity to take over command of the coalition forces and annex the remaining villages?" Onoki said anxiously.

However, there was sarcasm in and out of those words, accusing Konoha and Orochimaru of trying to use this operation to achieve evil goals.

In this regard alone, Onoki was right.

Orochimaru did have impure intentions and great ambitions.

And as soon as these words came out, the Kage in other villages clearly looked worried.

The position of commander of the coalition forces was indeed tempting.

Once controlled, not only could one gain great authority, but one could also significantly increase personal prestige, even threatening the core interests of other villages.

Unfortunately, there was only one position.

There were five of the Five Kage, so it was very difficult to choose.

Where there are interests, there are conflicts, and when there are conflicts, fights are easy to happen.

"The position and authority of the command of the coalition forces? This is indeed a question that requires a good decision."

Mifune sounded worried, feeling that it would be difficult to reach a conclusion in this Five Kage Summit!

"According to Mifune-dono, who is the most suitable?" Terumi Mei took the initiative to ask, she was still a little self-conscious.

In terms of both strength and prestige, she was far behind the other four Kage, plus the scandal of the Fourth Mizukage being manipulated by Akatsuki.

She basically had no chance of becoming the commander of the coalition forces.

It would be better to ask Mifune's opinion.

From the bottom of her heart, she and Kirigakure still hoped to form a coalition to destroy the Akatsuki organization together.

This would also be a good way to avenge the Fourth Mizukage and the large number of Kirigakure ninjas who died in vain.

"What else are we discussing? This commander's position should naturally be taken by me!"

Fourth Raikage stood up and presented himself, very confident.

"You? Why you, a man with a brain full of muscles, leading the coalition forces?"

"The commander of the coalition forces needs more strategy and wisdom! Whoever lets emotions and violent actions run wild will only disrupt the entire coalition force!" Onoki shouted again.

He didn't want the coalition of five villages to form, and he didn't want the position of coalition commander to fall into the hands of the Raikage.

The Third Raikage was killed by Iwagakure.

There was a bloody feud.

If Fourth Raikage was really allowed to take over command, he might try his best to exhaust Iwagakure Village and deliberately send Iwagakure ninjas to conquer the most difficult enemies, thus causing huge casualties, right?

"What? Who are you calling brainless? You old Tsuchikage, could it be that you also covet the commander's position?" Fourth Raikage was very angry.

Look at this, Chiyo even saw the excitement and didn't mind it, and was very happy:

'Come on, fight, fight! Don't be a coward!'

Chiyo's position was indeed a bit complicated.

With her grandson, her initial intention wasn't to push Akatsuki too hastily.

In fact, if the Five Kage Summit failed this time, the three major villages would actually fight again.

For the currently weak Sunagakure, this might not be a bad thing. Chiyo could also use more strength to find other ways to get her grandson back.

That was better than seeing him strangled by the coalition of five villages.

But just then, Orochimaru spoke.

"I also support Raikage becoming the commander of the coalition forces!"

As Orochimaru uttered these words, the others were shocked.

No one had expected that Orochimaru, who had taken the initiative to hold the Five Kage Summit, would actually give up the position of supreme commander?

"Hah?"

Fourth Raikage himself was stunned and stared at Orochimaru.

"The strength of the Akatsuki organization is extraordinary, so it naturally requires a strong enough leader to lead the coalition forces. After all, only the strong can defeat the strong enemy!"

Orochimaru recommended with reason.

The other figures were stunned for a moment.

How could the Hokage help the Raikage speak?

Was Orochimaru worthy of the name Hokage he was bearing?

Or had Kumogakure and Konoha reached a dirty deal beforehand?

"HA HA HA! Hokage is right! Strength is the first criterion for leading the coalition forces!"

Fourth Raikage laughed loudly and was quite satisfied with Orochimaru.

It even suddenly felt that this person wasn't so cunning and dangerous, and even a little pleasing to the eye.

Of course, Orochimaru didn't recommend Fourth Raikage out of kindness, but did so deliberately.

On the one hand, Orochimaru wasn't interested in taking control of the coalition forces.

On the other hand, the only option was to choose a commander who was tough and fierce enough.

This was conducive to a direct confrontation between the coalition forces and the Akatsuki organization!

Therefore, it was better to let Fourth Raikage lead.

He had the most radical personality, as long as the war started, he wouldn't stop until Akatsuki was completely wiped out and Kumogakure would be exhausted!

This was in the best interests of Orochimaru and Konoha.

"Very good, now the Hokage agrees. Old Tsuchikage, what else do you want to say?"

Fourth Raikage turned to look at Onoki, with an arrogant and reckless expression on his face.

"I still disagree with the coalition proposal! This." Onoki was still arrogant and still reluctant to join the war.

However, Orochimaru's next question immediately broke his guard.

"Tsuchikage, you've been acting for a long time, aren't you tired?"

"Orochimaru, what do you mean?"

"I think maybe Iwagakure is the real mastermind behind Akatsuki?"

"What are you talking about?"

"Otherwise, why does Iwagakure often hire Akatsuki? In fact, your good student Deidara even took the initiative to join Akatsuki and even became one of the core members."

"Tsuchikage, can you explain this?"

As soon as Orochimaru uttered these words, Iwagakure was immediately set on fire.

Notice carefully, Iwagakure did have a close relationship with Akatsuki!

Onoki was even willing to indulge his student to join the rebellious ninja mercenary organization, which was clearly abnormal.

"That's right! Tsuchikage, what else do you want to say?!!" Raikage was furious.

Even Mifune, who always liked to be a peacemaker, couldn't help but become suspicious and looked at Onoki suspiciously.

"..."

Onoki suddenly fell silent, his face flushed.

He really didn't know how to defend himself.

He had always considered Deidara to be the most talented and suitable successor to the next Tsuchikage.

Even his son wasn't as good as Deidara in his heart.

Although Deidara was very rebellious, he often caused various problems in the village in pursuit of the art of explosion.

But Onoki was always cunning.

After Deidara defected from the village, Onoki didn't send any elites to pursue him.

Although there was a vague intelligence, Deidara even joined Akatsuki after defecting, Onoki didn't care either.

Just imagine this valuable apprentice has reached his rebellious stage and started to practice.

Joining a mercenary organization like Akatsuki could help Deidara train his true combat abilities and experience the cruelty of the outside world.

After enough wandering, it was time to return to the village and inherit his mantle.

So, he deliberately obstructed the formation of the coalition forces and delayed the five villages from launching a siege against Akatsuki.

Onoki was only worried that Deidara would die suddenly by accident during the siege and suppression.

However, now, he was defeated by Orochimaru.

He was worried that he couldn't hide it anymore!

Onoki felt cruel and gritted his teeth.

For Deidara, he was even willing to be blamed.

Use Iwagakure's name and intimidation to protect Akatsuki for a while! Protect his valuable student!

However, a samurai rushed into the conference room and reported some important information to Mifune without caring about etiquette.

After Mifune heard this, his expression suddenly changed.

Seeing this, everyone also trembled. It was clear that something big had happened.

"What happened?" Terumi Mei asked first.

Mifune frowned and looked at Onoki, which made Onoki feel uncomfortable.

"Look what? What happened?"

Mifune sighed and said softly: "According to the intelligence just received. The Akatsuki organization and Amegakure Village have taken the initiative to provoke war and launched a large-scale attack on Iwagakure!"

"Currently, it is said that Iwagakure has been breached."

Hearing this, Onoki was immediately confused, with a face full of astonishment:

"What? How?!! Akatsuki, a mere organization, dares to attack my village. How could it break through in such a short time?"

This news must be wrong!

Mifune looked at Onoki and hesitated to speak. But in the end, he told the truth:

"It is said that Deidara, the former rebellious ninja of Iwagakure Village, took the lead in sneaking into Iwagakure Village and cooperated with the Amegakure ninja forces to break through the defenses!"

"This caused a massive defeat in Iwagakure Village."

Listen to this, Onoki was even more stunned and shouted madly:

"What?!! This is impossible!!!"

He put aside his old face and tried every means to prevent the formation of the coalition of five villages just to give Akatsuki a breath. At least he had to lure Deidara before wiping out Akatsuki.

In the end, this bastard actually helped outsiders and directly stabbed Iwagakure in the back?

What a beast!

"Deidara! This traitor!"

Onoki's eyes widened, he roared and cursed loudly. He almost fainted from anger at that moment!
