Chapter 231 Different Intentions
Orochimaru is not cowardly at all. He is not Sarutobi and does not have too much psychological burden on Konoha.
Do it if you don't accept it!
Anyone who disobeys Konoha can just be defeated.
It would be best if he could lead Konoha to surpass Sensei Sarutobi, prove his excellence, and then gain the promise of the Sage Yudo.
The worst case scenario is that he would squander all of Konoha's wealth and then move to another place to continue his dormant and rising.
to be honest.
I got the position of Hokage for free, so naturally I don't have too many concerns.
It was this toughness and table-turning madness that made Konoha win a great victory in the last round of confrontation, and Sunagakure lost everything.
Now, Orochimaru doesn't mind fighting with the Sand Village again!
"Yura! Shut up!"
Granny Chiyo shouted, stopping her own guards.
Orochimaru was right.
The Sand Village now has no evidence and no strength.
What can we use to fight Konoha?
If he really had the confidence to fight, he would not have been so stubborn as to accept the huge compensation of 1 billion taels.
If you lose, you lose. What’s the point of throwing a tantrum now?
They are all big countries and big villages. Can you still expect the Iron Kingdom to make decisions for you?
In the past few decades, there have been three Ninja World Wars.
Chiyo has long been worn down by reality and war, and no longer has the impulsiveness and sharpness of her youth.
If she were younger, she would have started a war with her puppets.
"Everyone calm down!"
"This is the Iron Kingdom, not your battlefield."
"If there is any conflict, please discuss it after this meeting."
Mifune acted like a host and suppressed the anger of the Sand Village.
It's also because the Iron Kingdom has been at peace for too long, causing these warriors to have difficulty distinguishing their own levels.
...
After an episode.
The five Kage all sat back in their seats, and the meeting officially began.
Mifune looked at the Hokage Orochimaru and got straight to the point:
"So, may I ask who the Sandaime Hokage is..."
"No... Mr. Orochimaru, may I ask why Konoha is holding this Five Kage Summit?"
Orochimaru raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and without any hesitation, he directly stated his purpose.
"I hope the five major villages can unite and wipe out the Rain Village and the Akatsuki organization together!"
"dawn?"
Everyone frowned slightly, with different expressions.
Everyone present has heard of the name Xiao.
An underground mercenary organization that has emerged in recent years. It likes to accept war commissions from various small countries at low prices, and its efficiency and success rate are extremely high.
It has even gradually attracted the attention of large countries and villages.
In order to fight against the Hidden Cloud Village, the Iwagakure Village even hired Akatsuki more than once.
When facing the problem of Xiao, each family naturally has a different attitude.
"Akatsuki? I've heard of this organization, a low-ranking mercenary organization. How did it get involved with the Rain Village?"
"And why is Konoha in such a hurry to destroy them?"
"Hokage, you have to give us a reason, right?"
The Raikage and the Hidden Cloud Village are the most straightforward in their attitude towards Akatsuki. After all, they never use mercenaries from other villages. How can they be as useful as their own people?
"The reason is very simple. The Akatsuki organization has its roots in the Rain Village. They are secretly collecting tailed beasts and are planning to use their power to unify the entire ninja world!"
Aunt Snake directly revealed Akatsuki's purpose.
The "Moon Eye Project" is too complicated and difficult to explain.
Instead, they declared that Akatsuki's goal was to destroy the five major villages and unify the ninja world, which was more intimidating.
"Nani!"
"How can a small ninja village have such ambitions?"
"Damn it indeed!"
Raikage Ai slammed the table, furious.
Even the Hidden Cloud Village didn't dare to think of unifying the ninja world. How could a mere Akatsuki and Rain Village dream of swallowing up the sky?
Isn't that the opposite? ! !
"Hokage-sama, do you have more concrete evidence? Are you just inciting us to destroy a small ninja village?"
Oonoki questioned.
He didn't think Xiao had that kind of ambition and strength.
In his eyes, Akatsuki is still just a pretty good underground mercenary organization; even with the support of the Rain Village, how big can it become?
The Rain Village and the entire Rain Country are nothing more than battlefields for the fighting between the big villages.
Just like a chick, it can be manipulated at will.
Is such a tiny village qualified to unify the ninja world?
...
Orochimaru continued in all seriousness:
"You all should know that I defected from Konoha for a period of time, right?"
"During that time, I joined the Akatsuki organization and gathered intelligence."
"This was also arranged by the Third Generation Master."
So much so that Kakashi and Kabuto, who were behind the curtain at the back, couldn't help but cover their faces and click their tongues when they heard it.
When it comes to shamelessness, it has to be Lord Orochimaru!
There is no trace of interpretation in this blame-shifting.
Should I say that I am too shameless! Or do I have no shame at all?
But other people don’t know.
Everyone thought that Orochimaru's defection was arranged by the third generation Sarutobi.
How else to explain why he would pass the throne to Orochimaru now?
With this side of evidence, Orochimaru's information seems much more credible.
"It's not enough, there's still no direct evidence!"
Tsuchikage Ohnoki refused to give in and continued to question.
Aunt Snake frowned slightly, and continued to flip the cards to make her move. In order to be able to attend the Five Kage Summit, he naturally made sufficient preparations in advance.
"Do you need more evidence?"
"Then you might as well ask the Mizukage-sama how Akatsuki treats their village? And how they grew stronger with the help of the Hidden Mist Village..."
Orochimaru pointed his spearhead at the Hidden Mist Village.
The Fifth Mizukage, Mei Terumi, began to panic but still managed to keep a straight expression.
Seeing everyone looking at her, she knew she could no longer hide it.
Then he confessed with shame:
"The previous Mizukage of the Hidden Mist Village was the Fourth Mizukage, Karatachi Yagura. He was controlled by an illusion and once again implemented the blood mist policy, causing huge casualties to the village."
"We suspect that the manipulator behind this is Akatsuki!"
"But such a scandal is hard to publicize, so we have been hiding it and collecting clues in secret."
"But all these clues ultimately point to Akatsuki!"
As soon as these words came out.
The Raikage Ai was even more furious and slammed the table:
"As expected, Akatsuki is indeed related to your Kirigakure!"
"Even a dignified Mizukage could be controlled. How incompetent!"
Mei Terumi lowered her head, feeling indeed quite embarrassed.
"Lord Raikage, please watch your words!"
Mifune gave appropriate reminders, not wanting the meeting to turn into confrontation.
"How is it? Lord Tsuchikage, is this enough evidence?"
"Even the shadow of a village can be secretly controlled. Doesn't this prove Xiao's strength and ambition?"
Orochimaru asked back, leaving Ōnoki speechless.
So Ohnoki could only turn around and ask the acting Kazekage Chiyo:
"Feng Ying, what do you think?"
Granny Chiyo frowned and thought for a moment before responding:
"I agree to destroy the dangerous mercenary organization Akatsuki."
"But if you want to participate, please do so. We in the Sand Village no longer have the energy to start another foreign war."
joke.
The Sand Village is now really richer than its face. The previous 1 billion in compensation was raised with the help of the Wind Kingdom.
How can we have the energy to start another war now?
But when she made this statement, the expressions of the other villages changed.
Good guy.
We spent money and effort to help the ninja world eliminate the evil mercenary organization, and you, the Sand Village, just want to sit back and reap the benefits with just one word?
How can it be so cheap?
If you don't do it, I won't do it either...
Let's just stop doing it!
For a while.
Orochimaru obviously noticed the change in wind direction.
I thought that the only troublemakers were the Iwagakure Village and Ōnoki, but I didn't expect that the Sand Village, which was a rotten bunch, would be so troublesome.
I see that it must be targeted!
Orochimaru turned to look at Chiyo, a fierce gleam in his eyes, and took out his cards to attack again.
