Reborn wind shadow: Attack the country of fire in the beginning

Rosha's words could be said to have directly infuriated Onoki, but under the gaze of so many people, he really couldn't refuse any longer. Thus, Iwagakure Village redeemed their own Jinchuriki at the price they had originally bought the Four-Tails from Konoha.

Of course, Onoki wasn't really that angry, after all, this was also within his expected losses.

So, the morning meeting finally had some results.

Thus, after the midday break, the afternoon meeting continued.

Compared to the initial bewilderment in the morning, Minato, as the host in the afternoon, was obviously much more skilled.

Moreover, the results of the morning invigorated him.

"So, esteemed Kage, starting this afternoon, we will address the true purpose of this Five Kage Summit!"

Speaking to this point, Minato said with a somewhat emotional tone.

"Ever since our predecessors, the First Hokage of each of the great ninja villages, established the Five Great Ninja Villages more than forty years ago, war has never ceased. Almost every ten years, a great war engulfing the entire ninja world erupts. Each war has brought great devastation and indelible hatred to our villages. Therefore, if possible, I hope to take advantage of this opportunity where everyone can sit together to find a way to seek peace."

As Minato's voice fell, Onoki, having resolved his most worrying matter, reverted to his old, undying self, sarcastically saying.

"Don't joke around, Hokage. What you're saying is simply a waste of time. Peace is simple; this ninja world would be fine without Konoha."

At this moment, the Third Raikage, who had been hostile not long ago, also spoke up.

"That's right, the Land of Fire occupies the most fertile land in the entire ninja world. What do the other four great nations have? The Kazekage has the most say in this matter. Everything the Kazekage has done for Sunagakure Village is to change this, but we don't have the Kazekage's power. I think if the Hokage really wants peace, your Daimyo should just divide the land among the other four great nations."

The Mizukage also spoke.

"That's right, our Kirigakure Village is also trapped by this."

Rosha didn't speak, because he knew that everything being said now was just nonsense.

As expected, Minato's expression didn't change at all as he said.

"Everyone should know that this is impossible."

"If that's the case, then what's the point of you saying so much, Hokage?"

The Third Raikage roared.

Minato looked at everyone and slowly asked a question.

"Does everyone really like war that much?"

This seemed to poke a hornet's nest, and the two old guys, Onoki and the Raikage, couldn't help but slam the table.

"Did I say something wrong? Indeed, we Konoha may have the most advantageous geographical conditions among the Five Great Ninja Villages, but this isn't a pie that fell from the sky. It was earned by our Konoha's predecessors with their lives. Everyone, don't forget that we Konoha have been attacked the most by you during these three ninja world wars."

Minato looked at the four people in front of him.

"The villages you are in do have harsh environments, but you can't deny the geographical advantages that the harsh environment brings. Take the Kazekage's Sunagakure Village, where we are now, as an example. It's not an exaggeration to describe it as easy to defend and difficult to attack, while our Konoha is nakedly exposed in front of everyone, with no natural defenses to guard."

"Is that so? Hokage, in that case, why don't we exchange them?"

Onoki showed a treacherous smile, not caring at all as he said.

After listening for so long, Rosha also knew it was time for him to speak.

"Alright, everyone, let's end this childish squabble here."

Rosha finally spoke, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

In this Five Kage Summit, Rosha, as the current strongest person in the ninja world, still had considerable weight in his words.

"Oh, does the Kazekage have something to say?"

The Third Raikage asked.

Rosha knocked on the table, looked at everyone, and finally said, focusing on Minato.

"It's impossible to stop war in this world. Hokage, you should temporarily put aside this naive idea."

In Minato's puzzled gaze, Rosha continued.

"As long as this geographical disparity between the five great nations exists, we, as representatives of the military power of the five great nations, cannot truly embrace peace. If that were the case, to say something laughable, we ninjas would lose our reason for existence."

"Hahaha..."

The Third Raikage laughed.

"The Kazekage is right. We ninjas were born for war. Without war, why would the Daimyo keep us?"

Rosha ignored the Raikage and continued in a low voice.

"However, the Hokage is also right. None of us like war, especially we who are the leaders of the five great villages. In these years, we have seen too many people in the village sacrifice their lives for it, and many of them are our own relatives."

"Kazekage, what exactly are you trying to say?"

Onoki seemed a little impatient.

"It's very simple. Why is the situation in the ninja world so tense now? In fact, the ultimate reason lies in the imbalance of military power among our five great ninja villages. Among them, Konoha far surpasses the other four great ninja villages."

Seeing that Minato seemed to have something to say, Rosha directly interrupted him.

"Don't refute me, Hokage. This is what everyone can see. Your Konoha has the two strongest clans in the ninja world: the Senju and the Uchiha, as well as the Hyuga clan, which is no less inferior to these two clans. The Uzumaki clan is also on good terms with your Konoha. And in addition to these four great clans, your Konoha also has the Sarutobi clan, the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, the Shimura clan, and the Aburame clan. Compared to your Konoha, the other four great ninja villages, including our Sunagakure Village, are simply like beggars. Only Kirigakure Village seems to have a little bit of foundation."

At this moment, the other three Kage in attendance nodded in agreement.

"As for our Sunagakure Village, only I, as the Kazekage, have decent power now, but as for the others, unfortunately, even if our Sunagakure Village has Pakura and Mikawa, your Konoha has the Sannin and a Third Hokage. Do you think we, the other four great ninja villages, can sit still with such military power?"

"That's right!"

As Rosha's voice fell, the Third Raikage immediately roared, and even Onoki nodded in agreement, saying.

"In the past, your Konoha only needed one Uchiha Madara to pacify the ninja world, and Konoha has two such monsters. Even if Sunagakure Village has the Kazekage now, it's only one person. You also have the strongest tailed beast, the Nine-Tails. How can we rest assured with such a Konoha?"

The Mizukage also spoke.

"Our Kirigakure Village only obtained one Byakugan and already regards it as a treasure, but Konoha has countless Byakugan and Sharingan."

At this moment, Minato was really left speechless. He frowned and said.

"Kazekage, what you're saying is also meaningless. The families you mentioned have existed since the establishment of our Konoha."

Rosha shook his head.

"Of course it's meaningful. So far, a major reason for the outbreak of these three ninja world wars is actually that under this imbalance, we can only make up for this gap through an arms race. Therefore, as long as we control this imbalance well, then war can be avoided as much as possible..."
