Three days later.
In the middle of the sheer cliffs on the west side of Mount Sanrou, there was a recessed natural area. A huge cavity was hidden here, and the interior had been transformed into a massive architectural complex, which also served as the venue for every Five Kage Summit.
Uchiha Jin left two Anbu squads at the small courtyard and brought Shisui and Kakashi to the foot of the mountain. Relying directly on the Chakra tree-climbing technique, they quickly reached the platform in the mountain hollow as if walking on flat ground.
The moment the three of them landed, Mifune directly came forward to meet them.
"Hokage-sama, please follow me!"
Uchiha Jin nodded.
Subsequently.
He led the two of them behind Mifune, pushed open the large doors, and arrived at a massive conference room within the mountain hollow.
There was a huge circular conference table, and behind the five handleless chairs hung the respective emblems of the Five Great Shinobi Villages.
Uchiha Jin's eyes narrowed slightly.
He walked straight to the Konoha emblem representing the Land of Fire, pulled out a chair, sat down, and placed his hokage hat on the table.
Then.
He leaned back in his chair, folding his arms across his chest without saying a word.
Shisui and Kakashi stood directly behind Uchiha Jin.
Even though the Fourth Raikage and Ōnoki had already arrived, he had no intention of greeting them. After all, he previously hadn't been qualified to interact with these two Kage, and after becoming a Kage, he had no personal relationship with them either.
More importantly, he was not Hiruzen Sarutobi!
He didn't need to force himself to maintain good relations with anyone; his strength and influence made him unafraid of going to war with any Hidden Village.
Therefore, he chose silence!
As for the Fourth Raikage and Ōnoki, they only gave Uchiha Jin a faint glance and had no intention of greeting each other either, beginning to silently ponder their own Village's affairs.
Similar to Uchiha Jin's thoughts, they weren't familiar with him, and taking the initiative to speak might make them seem afraid. Thus, based on their assessment, it was better to simply remain silent.
After all, unlike the former Hiruzen Sarutobi, they knew very well that the Uchiha were not like Hiruzen Sarutobi.
The Uchiha were all mentally unstable!
They didn't want to provoke an Uchiha over a small matter. So, even with a personality like the Fourth Raikage's—who might have dared to boast wildly or even try to extort some desired benefits if he were facing Hiruzen Sarutobi—
When it came to the Uchiha, he truly didn't dare!
He was genuinely afraid that one wrong word would provoke the Uchiha into starting a war with him immediately.
There was no way around it!
No one in the entire Ninja World would be surprised by anything an Uchiha might do... Time slowly passed.
Five minutes later.
With the arrival of Rasa and Mei Terumī, Mifune, who was standing to the side, immediately spoke.
"Kage, we may begin!"
"I shall take my leave now. If there are any issues, you can contact the Land of Iron."
"We will ensure your security, but since the Land of Iron is a neutral nation, I hope you all can exercise restraint."
After speaking.
Mifune wasted no more words and left the conference room directly.
Then, silence!
In the entire conference room, no one took the initiative to speak; everyone fell into silence.
Uchiha Jin said nothing.
After all, he wasn't the one in the biggest hurry. Currently, he was sitting pretty, so he just quietly watched the others.
Rasa wasn't in a hurry either!
After all, Sunagakure was already stuffed with the inheritance of the Daimyo and the nobles. Although the Land of Wind was somewhat chaotic, many local officials and samurai had chosen to pledge their loyalty and were coming to Sunagakure one after another to show it... On the surface, the situation for Sunagakure could be described as excellent!
Of course.
This was also the reason why the Ninja World was currently so chaotic. Once the Ninja World entered a peaceful phase, Sunagakure would face plenty of trouble in the future!
First of all, the massive scapegoat for the assassination of the Daimyo and the nobles would likely be placed directly on Sunagakure's shoulders.
After all, those benefits weren't that easy to swallow!
Mei Terumī wasn't in a hurry either. After all, the Hidden Mist had its own national circumstances. Neither of their two Tailed Beasts had been revived yet, so they naturally hadn't been targeted by the Akatsuki Organization.
As for the Land of Water?
The Hidden Mist didn't care at all; they didn't mind if it was chaotic.
Since they were close to the sea, losing the Daimyo's support might be difficult, but as long as they didn't lack water and food, the Hidden Mist could naturally hold out longer than Sunagakure.
As for Ōnoki of Iwagakure, he also appeared completely unperturbed at this moment.
Although the chaos in the Land of Earth and the loss of the Four-Tails had put immense internal pressure on Ōnoki, the calculating old man could still remain calm. After all, he knew very well that the Fourth Raikage was even more anxious than he was.
And that was indeed the case!
The Fourth Raikage glanced at the four Kage in the room and understood their thoughts almost instantly.
Whoever spoke first would be in a position of weakness!
But considering the situation of each Hidden Village, while everyone faced similar circumstances, Kumogakure was undoubtedly the most severely damaged!
Because he himself was still in a heavily injured state.
Although he had forced himself to attend the Five Kage Summit, his body was actually far from recovered.
Furthermore, the Two-Tails had been lost, and even the Village's Eight-Tails Jinchuriki—his sworn brother Killer Bee—was currently in a heavily injured state just like him... So comprehensively, his Village was in great danger.
Although the chances of the Akatsuki Organization coming back to trouble Kumogakure were small, if they really did such a thing, the current Kumogakure would have no ability to stop them.
So, fine!
It was better to reach an agreement with the Four Great Shinobi Villages as soon as possible. That way, everyone could free up their hands to deal with their internal affairs and form an alliance against the Akatsuki Organization in the future.
Even if he had to suffer a bit of a loss, he could only endure it!
He had originally thought the Uchiha were more arrogant and would likely be the first to lose patience, but he didn't expect this Uchiha Jin to be even calmer than the other Kage present... There was no other way!
After thinking this through, he immediately spoke up.
"Alright, everyone!"
"Since no one wants to start, then let me be the one to say it."
"First of all, the Ninja World cannot continue to be in chaos; otherwise, it will be bad for all our Hidden Villages. Of course, I also know the reason why everyone is afraid to act—it's nothing more than wanting to distance yourselves from the assassination of the Daimyo and the nobles."
"On this point, Kumogakure's internal investigation has made some progress!"
"Through our investigation during this period, we have found that the mastermind behind the assassination of the Daimyo and the nobles is very likely connected to that damned Akatsuki Organization."
"Furthermore, I want to remind everyone that the members of this Akatsuki Organization are almost entirely Rogue Ninja from our respective Villages."
"Therefore, I propose!"
"That we officially designate the Akatsuki Organization as a Rogue Ninja organization and unite to deal with them!"
