Chapter 184 What a load of crap!
Before he could finish speaking, the Raikage loudly mocked, "Haha, is the Hokage planning to use someone else to do his dirty work?"
"What does the feud between your Konoha Village and the Akatsuki have to do with our Kumogakure Village?"
"I've heard that the ninja named Nagato's parents were killed by ninjas from your Konoha Village."
"Oh, right, there's also a rumor that he's Jiraiya's student. Is that true, Jiraiya?"
When his sore spot was touched upon, Jiraiya's face darkened.
Although he was trapped in Konoha Village due to the war and never met Nagato and the others, An had deliberately released the events of that year, explaining the cause and effect clearly.
Danzo's "contribution" in particular is highlighted in great detail, with nothing omitted.
Jiraiya genuinely treated Nagato and the others as his disciples, and to prevent them from being tainted by the filth of Konoha, he deliberately left them in the Land of Rain and did not bring them back to Konoha.
But even in a place like the Land of Rain, one cannot escape Danzo's clutches.
His reach is truly impressive; he can exert his power even across an entire country, and he even sent Root members to personally intervene in something that does no good for Konoha.
Danzo is now dead, and even with Jiraiya's personality, he still can't understand it.
How exactly does this guy's brain work?
"Wait, huh? So you really are Jiraiya's student!"
The Raikage had only said it casually and hadn't really believed the information, but seeing Jiraiya's expression, he immediately knew it was true.
"So that's why there are no terrorists in the ninja world. It's clearly just infighting among the ninjas of your Konoha Village!"
""
"Ha ha----"
Seeing his old rival get humiliated, Onoki was overjoyed and joined in the laughter.
Since even their own subordinates were laughing, their underlings naturally had to join in, and the entire conference hall was soon filled with laughter.
Only Yagura looked gloomy and dejected.
Even the Mist Ninja behind him were in low spirits and couldn't laugh at all.
Yagura was not one to shirk responsibility. After the illusion was broken, he privately told those around him about his situation.
The village's shadow has been manipulated by illusion magic for many years, committing countless evil deeds in the village. This is no longer a problem that can be solved by simply bowing and apologizing.
Even if Mei Terumi and the others wanted to exonerate him, they couldn't find a reason.
Yagura was already determined to die. He would commit suicide to atone for his sins after returning to the ninja village and handing over everything.
His will was naturally noticed by those around him, and they immediately showed their emotions on their faces.
These unusual behaviors of the Hidden Mist ninjas were immediately noticed by everyone.
The Raikage frowned, his gaze sweeping over Yagura and the others, before asking curiously, "Yagura, what's going on with your Kirigakure group?"
"You've all looked half-dead since just now, what's wrong?"
"Could it be that the illusion hasn't been broken?"
Yagura glanced at him, not wanting to air his dirty laundry in public, and shook his head, saying, "I think what the Hokage said makes sense."
"Although the rogue ninjas in Akatsuki mainly came from Konoha, once they betrayed the village, they had no further connection with it."
"Since the Akatsuki organization claims it will use force to intimidate countries and establish a new peaceful order, then all ninja villages are their enemies."
"If Konoha Village is to organize a coalition to attack the Land of Rain, the Land of Water is willing to participate."
"Hmm?" Raikage was immediately surprised. He carefully examined Yagura and the people from the Land of Water and found that Mei Terumi and the others all had expressions of shared hatred on their faces. Their eyes were filled with anger and hatred, but they did not show any sign of opposition.
"So, you also have a grudge against the Akatsuki," the Raikage said thoughtfully. "Is there some information we don't know?"
At this moment, Rasa, who had kept a low profile from the beginning, suddenly spoke up: "That Uchiha An once broke into Sunagakure, stole the tailed beast Shukaku, destroyed the capital city of the Land of Wind, Oasis, and forced the capital to relocate. His crimes are heinous."
"If Konoha were to organize a coalition to attack the Land of Rain, the Land of Wind would also be included."
Because of concerns about the Daimyo's reputation, the outside world only knows that Uchiha An went on a killing spree in the Land of Wind, but the specific details are unknown.
Rasa naturally wouldn't bring up these shameful things. The things that were on the surface were enough to make the people of the Land of Wind hate Uchiha An to the bone.
"Tsk!" Raikage clicked his tongue, exchanged a glance with Onoki next to him, and decisively turned away. "With years of war, Kumogakure has suffered heavy casualties, so we will not participate in your coalition."
"You three kingdoms can play by yourselves!"
Onoki rubbed his aching back and coughed, saying, "I'm old, I'm really no good anymore."
"All I want now is to retire peacefully and live a few more years. I really don't want to fight anymore."
"Don't involve our Iwagakure Village in the Allied Forces' affairs."
"However, if you need war supplies, we can sell them to you, but the price certainly won't be cheap."
Seeing this, the Raikage quickly interjected, "Since you intend to continue the war, there will definitely be no one to do the missions in the village. Why don't we bring those merchants to our Kumogakure village? We can give them a discount."
"Hmph!" Seeing that the Raikage and Onoki were taking advantage of the situation, the other three Kage's faces darkened, they snorted coldly, and none of them said a word.
The Raikage and Onoki didn't care. They immediately got up, dusted themselves off, and prepared to leave.
After returning to the village, they still need to arrange for people to go to the Land of Fire to take over the territory, so they don't have time to waste on this.
After everyone from both villages had left, Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed deeply and said with a bitter expression, "With a formidable enemy at hand, the ninja villages still refuse to work together and only know how to scheme against each other. I'm afraid we'll all suffer in the future."
Yagura glanced at him with displeasure, utterly disgusted by his hypocritical behavior, and retorted directly, "If your Konoha village had any conscience and treated the ninjas in your village better, there wouldn't be so many rogue ninjas, and the ninja world wouldn't have deteriorated to this state."
One sentence left Hiruzen Sarutobi speechless. His lips moved, trembling for a long time, but he couldn't utter a single word in rebuttal.
"A five-nation alliance is a true alliance; a three-nation alliance is nothing."
"We cannot weaken our own national strength and let the other two countries watch the show from the sidelines."
"The Akatsuki poses the greatest threat to Konoha, so Konoha should be the first to take responsibility!"
"I hope Konoha can deal with the Akatsuki organization soon and stop causing trouble for other ninja villages!"
The relationship between the three kingdoms was tense, and unless there was something important to discuss, they wouldn't even bother to exchange a single word with each other.
Yagura left with a single sentence, then got up and left with his men. Rasa opened his mouth, but in the end said nothing, and also left with his men.
Only the people of Konoha remained, looking at their Third Hokage and waiting for him to make a decision.
Hiruzen Sarutobi took a deep drag on his cigarette, exhaled a long puff, and said firmly, "Even without the allied forces of various countries, that Uchiha An cannot be allowed to live. He must be completely eliminated."
"Jiraiya, Itachi, after we return to the village, you two select elite ninjas and devise a battle plan. We must take down that heinous criminal."
