Chương 250: Chapter 250: Does Konohagakure not want to send out 500 people?
"You two want to gain command authority, but you'll have to wait until everything is negotiated. Arguing about these issues now is pointless."
In the ninja world, Konohagakure has always held significant power.
Even though Konohagakure's strength has weakened somewhat due to the continuous wars in recent years,
and despite the Third Hokage appearing weak externally, it doesn't change Konohagakure's status in the ninja world.
"I think Hokage is right. How about we first discuss the issue of sending out troops, and then talk about command authority?"
Tsunade's words were supported by Yagura.
At the Kage Summit, there were two unusual sights: one was Oonoki, who was quite old and only a little tall, looking almost like a child.
The other was Yagura...
Well, this one really looked like a child without much difference.
Both in height and appearance.
Of course, Yagura only looks like a kid; his age is not much younger than the three Sannin.
And others' children have already grown up.
With Tsunade stepping in to mediate, Oonoki and A finally dropped their intentions to fight for power and quieted down.
The noisy farce had finally come to an end.
Rubbing her aching temples, Tsunade continued,
"Everyone, after this time of testing, you should have realized the strength of the Akatsuki.
To be honest, Konohagakure has also lost a lot of manpower because of the Akatsuki. If this organization continues to exist, it could become a serious threat."
"Right."
Raikage leaned against the table, displeased, and said,
"I initiated the Kage Summit to eliminate the Akatsuki, this dangerous organization from the ninja world. We cannot tolerate such a dangerous organization."
If they didn't have the intention to take action against the Akatsuki, the five Kages wouldn't be sitting here.
Among the five great ninja villages, only Konohagakure seems indifferent to this matter.
The other villages couldn't wait to take action against the Akatsuki as soon as possible, especially Kumogakure Village and Iwagakure Village, who were the most eager.
Having lost his son and a lot of high-level combat power, Oonoki hated the Akatsuki with a passion:
"No matter how strong the Akatsuki is, they are just a group of rogue ninjas at the S-rank level, backed by the weak Amegakure Village. With the strength of the five great ninja villages, if each village sends out a team of ninjas, we can easily eliminate this organization and make Amegakure Village disappear from the ninja world."
"I propose that starting today, Amegakure Village must not form a ninja village again."
Don't be fooled by the small size of the Land of Rain; Amegakure Village may be weak, but this village keeps producing rogue ninjas.
First, there was Hanzo the Salamander, and now there's the Akatsuki. Both are not to be underestimated.
"I agree with the Tsuchikage's suggestion."
Although there was a struggle for interests between Oonoki and Raikage, they shared the same view on how to handle Amegakure Village.
The five great ninja villages planned to eliminate Amegakure Village and remove the Akatsuki, ensuring that Amegakure Village could never rebuild its village.
They aimed to completely weaken this nation, making it a small country without any ninja villages.
This was revenge for the heavy losses suffered by the ninja villages.
Tsunade had no objections to this; turning the Land of Rain into a small country without ninjas seemed fine, preventing any more monsters from Amegakure Village from emerging.
"I agree."
Rasa and Yagura also raised their hands to show their agreement.
On this point, the five great ninja villages were united.
"So how many people does each village need to send?"
This was Rasa's main concern.
Sunagakure Village was too poor to afford a large-scale war, so it was better to take things slowly.
He even wondered if they could take advantage of other villages, like Konohagakure, which had often helped Sunagakure Village in the past.
"Five hundred people will be enough."
If it weren't for the concern of unexpected issues, Raikage thought that each of the five great ninja villages could just send a few dozen or a hundred people, and that would be plenty.
Amegakure Village was nothing to worry about; the real threat was the Akatsuki.
The fact that the five Kage were sitting together to discuss sending ninja teams showed that they were sending their elite.
If they sent a bunch of weaklings at a time like this, they would surely be laughed at.
Each village sending five hundred of their elite troops would indeed be sufficient, at least on the surface.
"Konohagakure might have a problem."
At Yan's signal, Tsunade awkwardly indicated that she had something to say.
Konohagakure couldn't even gather five hundred people?
Surely, they weren't joking.
Sunagakure Village hadn't even spoken up yet.
In an instant, four pairs of eyes—Raikage, Tsuchikage, Kazekage, and Mizukage—turned to Tsunade.
Even though she had faced all kinds of storms before, Tsunade felt a bit embarrassed.
After all, she was about to lie.
"Let me explain the situation to everyone,"
Yan, standing behind Tsunade, took the initiative to clarify:
"About what happened in Konohagakure, I believe you all are aware. The fifth Hokage has just recently taken office, and there are many issues to handle in the village. Some people left too many hidden dangers, so we had no choice but to clean things up."
"Additionally, some families made significant mistakes, and as a punishment, the village assigned their ninja to guard the border."
"Since the guarding period hasn't ended, sending too many elite forces at this time would impact the village's stability, so Konohagakure can't spare that many people."
The other Kage understood well what had happened in Konohagakure.
They were all stirring things up behind the scenes, helping to spread rumors to tarnish Konohagakure's reputation and make life difficult for the Third Hokage.
As a result, the Third Hokage actually retired at home.
Konohagakure has also been quite active lately.
They've been cleaning house internally; some families that have committed serious offenses have sent their ninjas to guard the borders as a punishment. This has had a certain impact over time.
"To show our sincerity, Konohagakure will send a team of 200 elite members to participate in this battle. In addition, we will mobilize 500 people to handle the transportation of supplies. All food and material consumption will be the responsibility of Konohagakure."
This was something Yan and Tsunade had discussed beforehand; Konohagakure was approaching this with a nonchalant attitude and definitely wouldn't be risking everything against the Akatsuki.
Let the other villages take the lead.
They would find some excuses and contribute a little to make it seem like they were helping.
So, when they heard that Konohagakure would provide food and handle supply transport, Oonoki and Raikage looked a bit more satisfied.
Rasa and Yagura had no objections; they were more than happy for Konohagakure to take care of these minor issues.
With Kirigakure Village being far out at sea and Sunagakure Village in the desert, transporting supplies was very difficult.
If Konohagakure was willing to provide the necessary food and help transport war supplies, it would save them a lot of trouble.
Even though Konohagakure was sending fewer people, their sincerity was clear.
Looking around, seeing that everyone else had no objections, Raikage took the initiative to say:
"Since no one has any objections, let's go ahead and finalize this."
I have objections!
Oonoki glared at Raikage.
This guy didn't even bother to consult him and just made the decision as if he was the boss of all five villages!
