Chapter 410 Five Shadows Meeting? No, it's a vegetable market!
Chapter 410 Five Shadows Meeting? No, it's a vegetable market!
"Two villages?!"
The atmosphere in the meeting room changed instantly.
Onoki suddenly turned his head and looked at the Fourth Raikage, A, with whom he had just formed an alliance.
Ai also glared fiercely at Onoki.
"Hiruzen Sarutobi!" Ai slammed his hand on the table, the loud noise echoing through the conference room. "Our Hidden Cloud Village has the highest geographical position, making it the most suitable place to build a signal base station. We must have one of the first pilot sites!"
"Bullshit!" Onoki floated up, pointing at A's nose and cursing, "Don't you have any idea how serious the chakra frequency interference is in your Cloud Thunder Gorge where thunder roars every day?! Our Iwagakure is surrounded by mountains and needs this kind of real-time communication technology to break down transportation barriers. We, Iwagakure, want this spot!"
"You old scoundrel, Onoki! Are you looking for a beating?! Believe me or not, I'll burn your beard off!"
"Come on! You brute! Let's see if my Dust Release technique can turn you into dust!"
Onoki was so angry he was trembling, looking like he was about to unleash a powerful attack right there in the Konoha meeting room.
"Raikage-sama! Tsuchikage-sama! Please calm down!"
Seeing that things were not going well, the earthen platform and loess that had been standing at the back rushed forward.
Tu Tai clung tightly to Aina's strong arm, urgently trying to dissuade her.
Huang Tu stood in front of Onoki, trying to calm his enraged father in a humble manner.
However, this dispute is clearly not so easy to resolve.
"Hey, old man, you've got quite the temper! Do you think you can be afraid of the thunder of Cloud Village? If you're not happy, then have a go and see if I can beat you to a pulp! Yeah!"
Killer Bee, who was wearing sunglasses, already had a bad temper, and he immediately became unhappy when he saw his older brother being pointed at and scolded.
While taunting Onoki with rap, he reached for the eight short swords on his back, and the dark red tailed beast chakra on his body even showed a faint tendency to overflow.
At this point, even the Iwagakure guards, who had been trying to maintain order, couldn't hold back any longer.
Han, the Five-Tails Jinchuriki, suddenly took a step forward.
"Kumakuya brat, show some respect to Lord Tsuchikage!" Han's voice was deep and imposing.
As he spoke, a burst of high-temperature steam hissed out from behind his red armor, instantly boosting his aura as he confronted Killer Bee without backing down.
The two Kage were on the verge of drawing their swords, and the two Jinchūriki were also locked in a fierce confrontation.
The originally solemn and serious Five Shadows meeting has now turned into a marketplace.
The noise was mixed together, and the argument was incessant.
The anti-Konoha alliance, which had just been plotting to unite against Konoha, crumbled in less than a minute before being presented with this huge, lucrative opportunity by Nishikawa Tetsu.
In the noisy conference room, which resembled a bustling market, Nishikawa Tetsu sat calmly in his chair.
He picked up the celadon teacup beside him, slowly blew on the tea leaves floating on top, and took a small sip.
Watching these top figures from the ninja world arguing fiercely over a single spot, almost to the point of fighting, Nishikawa Tetsu let out a satisfied sigh in his heart.
"That's more like it. A meeting without arguments and table-pounding, can it even be called a meeting? A harmonious atmosphere is just a tea party. It's like this, where people tear each other apart for the sake of interests. This feels more real."
Nishikawa Tetsu put down his teacup, a smug smile playing on his lips. He even thought it would be perfect if he had a handful of melon seeds in his hand.
Minato Namikaze sighed helplessly as he watched the situation escalate.
He turned to look at the Third Hokage sitting in the main seat and found that Hiruzen Sarutobi was squinting, completely indifferent to the situation.
Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu, who were standing nearby, were also holding teacups. Even Rasa and Yagura were watching the scene with amusement, clearly none of them intended to act as peacemakers.
"It seems I'll have to play the villain."
Minato smiled bitterly to himself. He didn't want a proper Five Kage Summit to turn into a farce where several Kage and Jinchuriki were causing trouble in the Konoha building.
If they really start fighting, the newly renovated top-floor conference room will probably be lost, and Nishikawa Tetsu will definitely come after him with the repair bill.
"Everyone, please calm down for a moment."
Minato's gentle voice rang out in the noisy conference room. It wasn't loud, but it clearly reached everyone's ears.
Before he could finish speaking...
"Whoosh!"
A golden flash suddenly erupted in the center of the conference table without warning.
Before Onoki and Ai could even see what was happening, they felt a sharp aura lock onto them.
Minato Namikaze's figure had disappeared from his original spot at some point.
He appeared like a ghost between Onoki and Ai.
Minato's left hand pressed down on Onoki's hands, which were preparing to form hand seals. The seemingly gentle force made Onoki feel his chakra flow being forcibly cut off instantly.
His right hand steadily supported Ai's thick wrist, which was about to slam into the table, with a faint chakra fluctuation emanating from his palm.
Even more terrifying, in front of Killer Bee and Han, each floated a trident-shaped kunai with a special spell, the tip of which was less than an inch from their throats.
The entire movement was fluid and incredibly fast, without a trace of frivolity.
"That speed..."
Ai and Onoki's pupils suddenly contracted.
This guy has gotten stronger again.
"My lords."
Minato released his hands, retracted his kunai, and still wore that warm, gentle smile on his face.
"We're gathered here today to discuss cooperation and development, not to compare who has the stronger fist. If it were about fighting, I think the training grounds outside would be a better choice. This is, after all, a meeting place."
Minato's tone remained gentle, but his calm and unyielding persuasion revealed an absolute power capable of suppressing the entire scene, instantly bringing this impending farce to a close.
