Reborn Wind Shadow: Begins the Attack on the Fire Nation

It can be said that Rasa's words made Ōnoki furious, but with so many people watching, he really couldn't refuse anymore. So, the Iwagakure Village redeemed their village's Jinchūriki at the price they had paid for the Four-Tails from Konoha.

Of course, Ohnoki was not really angry. After all, this was within his expected loss.

Well, this morning's meeting finally produced some results.

So, after the lunch break, the afternoon meeting continued.

Compared to the initial confusion in the morning, Mizumon, as the host in the afternoon, was obviously much more skilled.

Moreover, the results of this morning made him quite excited.

"Well, fellow Kage, starting from this afternoon, this is the real purpose of our five Kage meeting!"

Having said this, Minato said with a rather sighing tone.

"Ever since our ancestors, the first generations of the major ninja villages, established the five major ninja villages more than forty years ago, wars have never stopped. Almost every ten years, a war that affects the entire ninja world breaks out. Each war has brought great disasters and indelible hatred to our village. So, if possible, I hope to take advantage of this opportunity that you can all sit together to find a way to seek peace."

After Minato finished speaking, Oonoki, who had solved the problem he was most worried about, returned to his old and immortal appearance and said sarcastically.

"Don't be ridiculous, Hokage. What you said is a waste of time. If you want peace, it's simple. Just make sure that Konoha doesn't exist in the ninja world."

At this moment, the Third Raikage, who had been hostile to each other not long ago, also spoke.

"Yes, your Land of Fire occupies the most fertile land in the entire Ninja World. What do the other four nations have? The Kazekage has the most say in this matter. Everything the Kazekage has done for the Sand Village is to change this. But we don't have the power of the Kazekage. I think if the Hokage really wants peace, wouldn't it be better for your Daimyo to divide the land among the other four nations?"

The Mizukage also spoke up.

"Yes, our Kirigakure Village is also trapped here."

Luo Sha didn't say anything because he knew that everything he was saying now was just nonsense.

As expected, Minato said without any change in expression.

"You should know that this is impossible."

"If that's the case, then what's the point of you saying so much, Hokage."

The Third Raikage roared.

Minato looked at everyone and slowly asked a question.

"Does everyone like war so much?"

This was like stirring up a hornet's nest. The two old fellows, Tsuchikage and Raikage, could not help but bang their heads on the table.

"Am I wrong? It is true that our Konoha may have the best geographical conditions among the five major ninja villages, but this is not pie in the sky. It is earned by the ancestors who established our Konoha with their lives. Don't forget that our Konoha was attacked the most by you in the three Ninja World Wars."

Minato looked at the four people in front of him.

"The environment of the village you are in is indeed harsh, but you cannot deny the geographical advantages brought by the harsh environment. Take the Sand Village of the Kazekage where we are now as an example. It is not a problem to describe it as easy to defend and difficult to attack. However, our Konoha is exposed nakedly in front of everyone, without any natural barriers to defend."

"Really? Hokage, if that's the case, why don't we switch."

Ohnoki said with a sly smile on his face, not caring at all.

After listening for so long, Luo Sha knew that it was time for him to speak.

"Okay, everyone, let's put an end to this farce of children quarreling."

Luo Sha finally spoke, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

In this Five Kage Tournament, the words of Rasa, currently the strongest person in the ninja world, still carry considerable weight.

"Oh, Kazekage, is there anything you want to say?"

The Third Raikage asked.

Rasa knocked on the table, looked at everyone, and finally stopped at Minato and said.

"It is simply impossible to stop the war in this world. Hokage, you should put aside such naive thoughts for the time being."

Under Minato's puzzled look, Rasa continued.

"As long as this geographical gap between the five major countries exists, we, as representatives of the military power of the five major countries, cannot truly embrace peace. In that case, to put it ridiculously, we ninjas will have no meaning for existence."

"Hahaha..."

The Third Raikage laughed.

"The Kazekage is right. We ninjas were born for war. Without war, why would the Daimyo still support us?"

Luo Sha ignored the Raikage and continued speaking in a low voice.

"However, the Hokage is right. None of us likes war, especially us as the leaders of the five major villages. Over the years, we have seen too many people in the village sacrifice their lives for this, and many of them are our own relatives."

"Fengying, what do you want to say?"

Ohnoki seemed a little impatient.

"It's very simple. Why is the situation in the ninja world so tense now? In fact, the ultimate reason lies in the imbalance of military strength among our five major ninja villages. Among them, Konoha is far superior to the other four major ninja villages."

Seeing that Minato seemed to have something to say, Luo Sha interrupted him directly.

"Don't refute me, Hokage. This is something we can all see. Your Konoha has the two strongest families in the ninja world: the Senju and Uchiha, as well as the Hyuga clan which is not inferior to these two clans. The Uzumaki clan is also on good terms with your Konoha. In addition to these four major families, your Konoha also has the Sarutobi clan, the Ino-Shika-Chou clan, the Shimura clan, and the Aburame clan. Compared to your Konoha, the other four major ninja villages, including our Sand Village, are simply like beggars. Only the Mist Village seems to have a little bit of wealth."

This time, the other three shadows present nodded in agreement.

"As for us in the Sand Village, only I, as the Kazekage, have reasonable strength now. But for the others, unfortunately, even though we have Ye Cang and Yagawa in the Sand Village, you have the Three Ninjas in Konoha, and the Third Hokage. Do you think that with such a military force, our other four major ninja villages can sit still?"

"That's right!"

As soon as Luo Sha finished speaking, the Third Raikage immediately roared, and even Ohnoki nodded in agreement and spoke.

"Back then, you had only one Uchiha Madara in Konoha, which was enough to pacify the ninja world. But now there are two monsters like this in Konoha. Even if there is a Kazekage in the Sand Village now, he is only one person. You also have the strongest tailed beast, the Nine-Tails. How can we trust such a Konoha?"

The Mizukage also spoke up.

"We in the Hidden Mist Village only got one Byakugan, and we already treasure it like a treasure, but Konoha has countless Byakugan and Sharingan."

This time Minato was really speechless, he said with a frown.

"Kazekage, what you said is meaningless. The families you mentioned have existed since the founding of Konoha."

Luo Sha shook her head.

"Of course it makes sense. So far, a big reason for the outbreak of the three Ninja World Wars is actually this imbalance. We can only make up for this gap through an arms race. Therefore, as long as we control this imbalance, war can be avoided as much as possible..."
