Chapter 1043: Not Realizing the Mistake, but Realizing Death
Chapter 1043: Not Realizing the Mistake, but Realizing Death
"I warned you earlier, but you ignored it and even treated us like a bunch of amateurs. Now you realize your mistake?"
"Oh no, you didn't just realize your mistake, you realize you're about to die."
Tsunade was being playful, not holding a grudge over past events, and was even willing to attend this Five Kage Summit, showing her magnanimity.
But as soon as they arrived, they were met with a show of force, how could they tolerate this?
Is Raikage so impressive? Does Tsunade have any less under her command?
Wrong, the number of her subordinates far surpasses the other's, so she has no fear at all!
"Fifth Hokage, you..."
The Fourth Raikage, his temper flaring, slammed his fist on the table and stood up. When had anyone dared to mock him to his face like this?
If it weren't for the fact that Akatsuki had captured his brother, Killer Bee, and caused chaos in their Cloud-hidden Village, the Fourth Raikage would never have considered compromising so easily!
"What? Are you planning to start a fight before the Five Kage Summit? Well, Konoha is ready to oblige!"
Facing the enraged Fourth Raikage, Tsunade showed no fear but instead took a step back, allowing the two powerful fighters behind her to step forward.
She was the Fifth Hokage, the teacher and mentor of Yakaze and Minato, and dealing with a mere Raikage was not something she needed to handle personally.
The Fourth Raikage was known for his hot temper, but Tsunade was not someone to be trifled with.
"Both of you, please calm down. The five great ninja villages have gathered here to discuss and plan our response to Akatsuki, the plague of the Ninja World, not to fight amongst ourselves."
Seeing the tense atmosphere, Shipu, as the host, quickly stood up to pacify everyone.
Perhaps out of consideration for the overall situation or fearing the strength of the Konoha group, the Fourth Raikage coldly hummed and reluctantly returned to his seat.
The Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze's strength, was something the Raikage, Ay, had witnessed during the Third Ninja World War. Even after all these years, he could only hope for a 50/50 chance against him.
As for the guards he brought, Darui and Shi, they were no match for Tsunade and Yakaze.
Compared to the original storyline, where the Second Tsuchikage suddenly caused trouble during the Five Kage Summit, and Uchiha Tobi, using Kamui, appeared at the summit to declare the start of the Fourth Ninja World War, this summit proceeded smoothly.
The Second Tsuchikage, Onoki, was not present, so the Second Tsuchikage did not interfere with the summit.
The declaration of the Fourth Ninja World War, made by the masked man claiming to be Uchiha Madara, had already occurred when Akatsuki invaded Amegakure and captured the Eight-Tails, Killer Bee, right in front of the Fourth Raikage, Ay.
To capture the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, Akatsuki, along with the newly joined 'Hawk Squad', launched a full-scale attack.
Despite the Cloud-hidden Village's geographical advantage, they still suffered a defeat in the face of numerous top-tier powers.
Not only was the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, Killer Bee, captured, but the Cloud-hidden Village was left in ruins, hardly distinguishable from its former self.
There was no mistake; according to the original storyline, it should have been the Konoha Village that was reduced to ruins by Pain's Ultra Shinra Tensei.
Now, it was the Cloud-hidden Village that suffered this fate.
The original plan was for Uchiha Fugaku to obtain the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, but who could have known that Uchiha Itachi, aware of his impending death, would seek out Sasuke and entrust his eyes to him?
Upon learning that Sasuke had known the truth beforehand and held no grudge against Konoha, Itachi, in his final moments, felt relieved and also gave Sasuke the other Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan of his partner, Shizuma.
Having raised a vessel for many years, Uchiha Fugaku was thwarted by his second son, Sasuke, who now possessed the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan. Fugaku was furious, but he had no choice but to bide his time.
Fugaku had deceived Sasuke with a different version of the lie, and now Sasuke, with his Eternal Mangekyou, was a crucial pawn. For the time being, Fugaku refrained from making a move against him.
To suppress the unruly members of the Akatsuki, Fugaku could only temporarily use the Rinnegan he had taken from Kakashi and unleashed the Ultra Shinra Tensei in the Cloud-hidden Village.
Fortunately, the village was located in a perilous area, and its inhabitants were dispersed, so when Fugaku unleashed the Ultra Shinra Tensei, the village was destroyed, but the casualties were not as severe.
It was because of Fugaku's Ultra Shinra Tensei that Raikage realized the true danger of their enemy.
As Tsunade had said, they didn't just make a mistake; they knew that if they continued on this path, they would surely die.
With the other major ninja villages having already been attacked by the Akatsuki, the formation of the ninja alliance went smoothly after obtaining permission from the various countries' lords.
However, a dispute arose when the Five Kage competed for the position of supreme commander.
After all, although the idea was to disperse the ninjas of the five great ninja villages and divide them into different units, the supreme commander would undoubtedly have more authority.
The oldest and most experienced, the Fourth Raikage, believed that their village was the only one without rogue ninjas, so the position of supreme commander should rightfully be his.
However, Tsunade disagreed, stating that Konoha had the strongest overall strength and had anticipated the enemy's moves years ago. She was the most capable leader, unlike the Fourth Raikage, who was all muscles and no brains.
Witnessing the Hokage and Raikage about to clash again, Sanin, the witness, showed a helpless expression and finally suggested that the decision be made through a vote among the present Kage.
Hiruzen, the Third Tsuchikage, thought that Konoha had already become too powerful. Although he didn't like the Cloud Village, he ultimately sided with the Fourth Raikage.
Gaara, the Kazekage, who was the Cloud Village's prince consort, didn't hesitate and cast his vote for Konoha.
In the end, the decision rested with Mei Terumi, the Fifth Mizukage.
As everyone's attention turned to the beautiful and alluring female Mizukage, a troubled expression appeared on Mei's face.
"Mizukage-sama, don't forget that the Three-Tails, which originally belonged to your Mist Village, is currently in Konoha."
Having formed a strategic alliance with the Raikage, Hiruzen took the opportunity to sow discord.
Hearing Hiruzen's words, Tsunade slammed her hand on the table and said, "Isobu was in the wild before, and Haruno Rin became the Jinchuriki of the Three-Tails because of Uchiha Madara's calculations.
If we're talking about who the Tailed Beasts belong to, they were originally intended to be evenly distributed among the villages for the sake of peace.
Remember, attacking other ninja villages is illegal, and you will face the consequences."
