As soon as Mifune announced the start of the Five Kage Summit, Yondai Raikage imdiately launched a heavy punch, with dazzling blue lightning exploding across the room!
Temari and Heki were shocked as they looked at the Yondai Raikage. Onoki leaned back in his chair calmly, and Minato watched with the cool eye of a bystander, as if Yondai Raikage's target wasn't him.
At the crucial mont, Kanpū suddenly flickered out from behind the banner.
Rasengan!
Kanpū ford a Rasengan and slamd it forward, colliding heavily with the Raikage's lightning punch.
Boom!
Amidst the violent impact sound, violent air currents mixed with fragnts of lightning instantly filled the room!
"Gekko Kanpū?!" Yondai Raikage looked at the person blocking his attack with a mix of anger and surprise.
"Raikage-dono, what are you doing?"
Before Kanpū could reply, the 'host' Mifune slamd the table and stood up with dissatisfaction, "This is the scene of the Five Kage Summit! If you want to solve the issues through combat, why bother to participate in this summit?!"
"Hmph!"
Yondai Raikage snorted angrily, then surpressed his rage and slowly retreated to his position.
Kanpū also flickered back to behind the banner, leaving the scene to Minato.
"Raikage-dono, are you attacking because of Hachibi?" Minato asked calmly.
"Don't play dumb, Namikaze Minato!"
Yondai Raikage's fierce little eyes stared hard at Minato, then he coldly said, "You bastard! You took advantage of my participation in the Five Kage Summit to send people to capture Yugito, utterly shaless!!"
'Nii Yugito?'
'Nibi's Jinchuriki was caught?!'
The four other Kage frowned simultaneously.
"This wasn't done by Konoha!" Minato stated solemnly.
"Do you think I will believe you?"
Yondai Raikage said with a sneer, "Your purpose of depriving Kirigakure and Sunagakure's Biju is clear. Nii Yugito and B must have been captured by you!!"
"That's right."
Onoki also joined in "My village Missing-nin, Yonbi's Jinchuriki, has been missing in the Shinobi World for years. I suspect he was also captured by Konoha!"
'You're just accusing us shalessly!'
Minato was very angry, but also frustrated because Onoki's accusation was actually correct.
"Everyone."
Mifune spoke up, "Godai Kazekage and Godai Mizukage initiated this Five Kage Summit to address the issue of the Biju. Let's sit down and discuss this properly. Violence won't solve any problems!"
After the five Kage sat down again, Mifune looked towards Minato and asked: "Hokage-dono, decades ago, Shodai Hokage decided during the first Five Kage Summit to distribute the nine Biju among the Five Great Shinobi Villages to maintain the balance of the Shinobi World. Why did Konoha suddenly want to deprive Kirigakure and Sunagakure of their Biju?"
"Just recently, Konoha held a three-year Joint Chunin Exams. However, in the finals, Sunagakure and Kirigakure colluded with Orochimaru, Land of Sky and Otogakure. They not only sent their Shinobi Army to attack Konoha, but even deployed the Biju, causing significant casualties to Konoha!"
Minato explained slowly, "In other words, letting these two Great Shinobi Villages keep Biju not only fails to bring peace to the Shinobi World, but also leads to endless conflicts! In view of this, I decided to deprive Sunagakure and Kirigakure of their Biju!"
Mifune nodded, as he also has heard about this incident before. He then looked towards Temari and Heki, and asked: "Does both Kage have anything to say?"
Temari has a thin skin, so she only gritted her teeth, not knowing what to say.
But Heki snorted and directly shirked responsibility: "I have already sent our Anbu to investigate this matter. From beginning to end, it was Gonbee and Ao who took advantage of Elder Genji's trust to collude with Orochimaru without authorization. It has nothing to do with Kirigakure!"
"That's right."
At this mont, Temari seed to hear a certain voice, and suddenly spoke up: "In this matter, Sunagakure is also a victim! My father, Yondai Kazekage, was invited to attend the Joint Chunin Exams held by Konoha, but he was attacked and killed on the way, with Orochimaru impersonating him. Everything that happened afterward was Orochimaru usurping Yondai Kazekage's authority! It has nothing to do with Sunagakure!"
"Hehehe…"
Onoki chuckled sarcastically, "Chiyo, it's just like you to co up with such an excuse."
"Humph." A discontented snort ca from behind the Sunagakure's banner.
Yondai Raikage crossed his arms, standing on the ruined table, and glared at Minato with impatience evident in his expression.
"Sorry, but Konoha won't accept such an excuse!" Minato said solemnly.
Godai Mizukage, Heki, said with a sneer: "Hokage-dono, Gonbee and Ao are now Kirigakure's Missing-nin, you can't bla Missing-nin's actions on our Kirigakure. If you insist on doing so, then since Orochimaru is a Missing-nin from Konoha, we should hold Konoha responsible for his actions too, right?"
"Exactly!"
Temari imdiately spoke up this ti, "If Konoha wants to hold us accountable, then Sunagakure will also hold Konoha responsible for the death of my father at the hands of your Missing-nin, Orochimaru!"
Minato looked Heki and Temari, a sharp smile slowly appeared at the corners of his mouths. Then, he said, "When Gonbee colluded with Orochimaru, he was representing Kirigakure. At that ti, he was not a Missing-nin!"
"But he is now." Heki said firmly.
"Very good."
Minato then said, "Kanpū, go to Kirigakure."
Heki's pupils shrank, and he slamd the table in anger, "Yondai Hokage, what are you trying to do?!"
"Mizukage-dono, please rest assured. If Kanpū does sothing excessive in your village, I will imdiately declare him a Missing-nin and will not tolerate him!"
Minato smiled and said lightly, "When the ti cos, Mizukage-dono, please don't hold Konoha responsible for Kanpū's actions."
"You!!" Heki was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
From the intelligence he had, Kanpū's strength was undoubtedly at the level of the Five Kage, well, not the current Mizukage and Kazekage. So if he is making trouble in Kirigakure, Kirigakure would have no one who could stop him!
"Godai Kazekage…"
Heki quickly turned to look at Temari, but before he could speak, Minato interrupted, "Kanpū, after Kirigakure, it's Sunagakure."
'Why is all the dirty work left to …' But Kanpū replied cheerfully, "Understood. I'll make sure the economy and the number of Shinobi in these two villages regress by fifty years!"
Temari's heart sank, and she subconsciously turned to look at the banner behind her.
"Is Konoha planning to bully the weak?" Chiyo spoke harshly.
"So only you weaklings are allowed to ss around, and we're not allowed to bully the weak?" Kanpū retorted at Chiyo.
"You!" Chiyo was furious.
"Alright, stop arguing!"
Yondai Raikage finally lost his patience, "I'm didn't co here to listen to you shift responsibility and quarrel with each other. Isn't it just a matter of little compensation? Just give it and be done with it!"
Onoki also said generously, "Yondai Raikage said it well. What's done is done. Just give Konoha a bit of compensation and stop quibbling. Chiyo, you are an old woman after all, so you should have a broader perspective."
'Slly old man…' Chiyo, who is now standing behind the banner, trembled with anger.
Kankuro was so worried that she might have a stroke from anger, so he hurriedly comforted her.
Minato glanced at Onoki, and said, "Konoha has already filed a claim for compensation."
"Please forgive , but I refuse to agree to the deprivation of the Biju!" Onoki insisted.
"This matter is between Konoha, Sunagakure, and Kirigakure. It has nothing to do with Iwagakure." Minato calmly said.
Onoki imdiately retorted, "But Biju are related to the peace of the Shinobi World. As the Kage of Iwagakure, I have the right to intervene!"
Minato and Onoki stared at each other, and it seed as if sparks were flying in the air.
