Chương 251: Chapter 251: Command Decided, Akatsuki Prepares for Battle
Yagura and Rasa merely nodded quietly, leaving Oonoki frustrated, unable to say anything.
With three villages agreeing, the opposition from Iwagakure Village essentially held no weight.
So, the matter was settled.
Konohagakure sent 200 ninjas to fight and mobilized 500 more to transport supplies.
The supplies needed protection, and by spreading out forces, this meant that nearly all the ninjas from Konohagakure couldn't participate in the battle.
After thinking through all this, Oonoki felt like cursing.
But no one was on his side, and with the other villages agreeing, his opposition was pointless.
Most importantly, managing supplies for thousands of people was also a big burden.
Konohagakure took care of everything, showing their sincerity.
Oonoki had no way to find fault with this, so he could only stew in silence.
Thankfully, aside from Konohagakure, there were also Sunagakure, Kirigakure, Iwagakure, and Kumogakure.
Each of the four villages sent 500 ninjas, enough to fight a major war.
Konohagakure took care of food supplies, while the five great ninja villages split the war materials, each handling their part.
These issues were quickly sorted out, and then the main event began.
Tsuchikage and Raikage locked eyes, sparks practically flying between them.
Both wanted to be the leader of the alliance, holding the power to command, rather than taking orders from anyone else.
Although Konohagakure would support Kumogakure, they couldn't openly show their support at this point—they had to be more discreet.
"Raikage has a bad temper. I think he's unfit to lead the alliance. Someone like him can easily be driven by anger."
"Tsuchikage is old and refuses to find a successor, showing just how power-hungry he is. On top of that, he's a stubborn old man. Who would trust such a person with command?"
The main event had begun. Oonoki and A started attacking each other's weaknesses, criticizing and even slandering each other.
Tsunade, sitting to the side, was stunned. She was glad Konohagakure wasn't getting involved in the argument; if they did, she had no idea how things might escalate.
Yagura and Rasa, who had a clear sense of their place, could only watch the drama unfold.
In terms of personal strength and the overall strength of their villages, they had no right to compete for this position.
"How about... Raikage and Tsuchikage jointly leading the alliance?"
Seeing the argument escalate, with Oonoki and A about to clash, Yagura suggested a reasonable solution..
Neither of them was willing to step back, and endless arguing wasn't going anywhere. Why not have both of them as leaders? That way, it could work.
Raikage had a bad temper, and Tsuchikage was stubborn. Maybe if they worked together, they could balance each other out and keep each other in check
"I think Mizukage's suggestion is good," Rasa said, having had enough of their back-and-forth and personal attacks. Since he didn't have a chance at the position anyway, he decided to support Yagura's idea.
At that point, both Oonoki and A turned to look at Tsunade.
Tsunade shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly and said:
"Don't look at me. There's too much going on in my village. Once the Five Kage summit is over, I'll head back. Yan will stay behind to manage the command.
Since Raikage and Tsuchikage can't agree, why not have them both share the role?"
Konohagakure received money and needs to support Kumogakure Village, but it can't act recklessly. Given the current situation, having Oonoki and Ai as commanders is the best outcome.
When direct support isn't possible, the best thing to do is to stay neutral. This is already the greatest support for Kumogakure Village.
The five great ninja villages—Sunagakure, Konohagakure, and Kirigakure—have all expressed their agreement, so Oonoki and A had no objections.
The two of them have also agreed to this suggestion.
Most of the negotiations have been settled, and Tsunade doesn't plan to get involved in the remaining minor details.
After greeting the leaders of the other villages, she left with her team, heading back to Konohagakure.
Yan would handle the upcoming matters in her place.
"It seems that under the leadership of the third Hokage, Konohagakure left behind quite a few problems."
"Indeed, there are significant problems. Otherwise, why would Konohagakure just stand by while the Tsuchikage and Raikage fight?"
Yan responded indifferently.
You can enjoy it now, but the truth is that Konohagakure has so many problems that they haven't handled well. They have no time to interfere with anything else.
That's why you and the Raikage are at odds. If Konohagakure weren't dealing with so many issues, they would definitely get involved.
Would Oonoki have been able to please you then?
Oonoki was struck directly at the heart of the matter, and after a deep look at Yan, he leaned back in his chair, quiet and without a word.
"Since the five great ninja villages have united, does anyone still have any intelligence about the Akatsuki organization that they need to share?"
Rasa and Yagura shook their heads slightly, and Yan bluntly said:
"No, all the intelligence we had was already fully shared back in Kumogakure Village."
You can't take advantage like that, thinking you can just look to Konohagakure for intelligence.
Konohagakure isn't an intelligence gathering center.
You should focus on fighting and see what interesting surprises the Akatsuki has prepared for you.
After all, Konohagakure is responsible for logistics, and the main battle isn't our concern. Just do your best, maybe Nagato will send you a big gift.
The Akatsuki does indeed have a big surprise in store for the five great ninja villages.
Forget about the Six Paths of Pain for now; just one Sasori is enough to cause trouble for the five great ninja villages.
Except for Tsunade, the other Kage haven't left, and everyone is heading together to the border between the Land of Grass and the Land of Rain, where the joint army will gather.
The five great ninja villages have united, with A and Oonoki as the joint commanders, not worried about whether the Akatsuki will discover their plans.
If the five great ninja villages are united and prepared to attack, they aren't afraid that the Akatsuki will get ready.
The Akatsuki base has been tense lately.
With Black Zetsu, the intelligence gathering expert, even the smallest movements of the five great ninja villages won't escape his notice.
The five Kage talks and the joint army's plans—these are all things the Akatsuki is aware of.
While it's hard to say they know everything, they aren't completely in the dark.
The five great ninja villages are preparing, and the Akatsuki is preparing as well.
Nagato decided to move the Six Paths of Pain out early, abandoning the idea of using Genin.
Meanwhile, the rest of the Akatsuki members are working hard to prepare for the upcoming battle.
Among them, Sasori's preparations are the most thorough.
After all, Nagato provided him with many strong bodies, which he turned into puppets, greatly boosting Sasori's strength.
The only person in the Akatsuki who isn't interested in this war is Obito.
While Black Zetsu isn't particularly interested either, he at least pretends to be loyal to the organization.
Obito, however, doesn't even bother to pretend, directly opposing Nagato in the open.
But it doesn't matter; Nagato and Konan aren't listening to him.
Sasori and Kakuzu, both veteran members of the organization, are firmly on Nagato's side.
