Chapter 214

The daimyo of the other three nations didn't react at all!!

"I agree with the daimyo of the Land of Lightning's words — we cannot let things go on like this."

"Hashirama Senju actually captured the Tailed Beasts of our nations and brought them to the Land of Fire. Who knows what his next move will be?"

"Everyone has surely seen the power of the Tailed Beasts — they are simply not existences ordinary humans can contend with!!"

The daimyo of the Land of Water nodded with a dark expression,

acknowledging the daimyo of the Land of Lightning's words.

"But… what can we do?"

"Even the Tailed Beasts are no match for him…"

"Going against him — wouldn't that be seeking death…"

The daimyo of the Land of Wind said with a face full of hesitation.

Among the four nations,

theirs, the Land of Wind, was the most barren and the weakest in strength.

Their nation lay in a desert zone, with scarce resources,

so merely scraping by was already considered not bad.

Therefore their nation was also the one least able to endure upheaval.

"That may not necessarily be the case…"

"No matter how powerful his strength is, can he still withstand the joint force of the other four nations?"

The daimyo of the Land of Earth said with a cold smile, a glint of chill flashing through his eyes.

"Our nation already has ninja who have volunteered, telling me they can deal with Hashirama Senju…"

"They have also seen that the Land of Fire is coming on with overwhelming momentum."

"If this goes on, our nations being picked off one by one and swallowed up by them is only a matter of time…"

Seeing that the atmosphere had been built up enough,

the daimyo of the Land of Lightning began to lay out the scheme in his heart.

"However, they have also put forward their own demands."

"They want to establish a village belonging exclusively to ninja."

"This village will be led by the strongest among them as its head, answerable to the daimyo."

"But unlike now, where they are completely subordinate to the daimyo in a superior-subordinate relationship…"

"You may also summon the strongest ninja of your nations to discuss it with them."

"Something that benefits both sides like this — those ninja surely won't refuse!!"

After hearing the daimyo of the Land of Lightning's words,

the daimyo of the other four nations also fell into deep thought!!

Although they were all ordinary people,

without the power of ninja,

each was the person of the highest status and greatest authority in their own nation!!

If they negotiated with these ninja,

it would be equivalent to giving up a piece of the cake in their hands,

dividing up their own power!!

Although these ninja were powerful,

they could only exist in the form of clans,

unable to exert much influence at the level of the entire nation.

But once they became independent in the form of villages,

they would in effect have their own unique political standing,

and that meaning would be entirely different!!

"I agree with the daimyo of the Land of Lightning's words."

"I will give his proposal careful consideration."

"At this point in time, we must make some concessions and sacrifices."

The daimyo of the Land of Water rubbed his aching temples and said firmly.

110. Black Zetsu: Asura, I am your uncle!

After the daimyo of the Land of Lightning put it this way,

the daimyo of the other four nations,

at this moment also realized,

that if they did not adopt a strategy against Hashirama Senju,

the fate of their nations would likely not be good,

and being swallowed up by the Land of Fire was only a matter of time!!

【Jiraiya: Those powerful ninja they mentioned — they wouldn't be the First Kage of each village, would they…】

【Orochimaru: That really is possible. Only a Kage is the strongest ninja of a village, and even if not, it's probably close enough.】

【Tsunade: It seems the course of history is already completely different from what we knew. The other villages were originally established because of Konoha's existence; now it seems they were to prevent the Land of Fire from annexing them, for self-preservation…】

【Minato Namikaze: But actually there's not much difference. The other four villages in our timeline also established ninja villages to emulate Konoha for self-preservation — it's just that the approaches of the two First my lords are completely different!!】

【Fourth Raikage: What I'm more worried about now is the First Raikage… this First Hokage is not as easy to talk to as ours. If the two of them really start fighting…】

【Ohnoki: I don't know if it's my illusion, but right now I feel… perhaps our four villages are about to become history.】

【Terumi Mei: If the First Hokage hadn't handed over all the Tailed Beasts, many things might have turned out differently... We have no capital to stand against Konoha.】

【Shikamaru Nara: But I've been wondering—if the Land of Fire had unified the entire ninja world from the start, would these great ninja wars have ever happened?】

【Shikamaru's Father: All this peace exists because of the First Hokage... In another world, where the Land of Fire had gathered all nine Tailed Beasts, even if the First Hokage were gone, other nations would still dare not start war lightly!】

The Akatsuki,

at this moment, Nagato had all his attention fixed on the screen,

because the current First Hokage,

he is doing exactly what I am doing now!!

Gathering all nine Tailed Beasts,

making other nations fear my power,

thereby ending all wars and bringing peace to this world!!

But,

Nagato himself cannot be certain whether this path is right or wrong!

Yet he has no way to turn back now,

even if this road is wrong,

he must walk it to the end!

And Konan, seeing this,

she was also deeply curious,

could Hashirama Senju, with all nine Tailed Beasts gathered,

bring peace to the world?

Watching Hashirama Senju's actions on the screen,

Obito Uchiha's face held only mockery,

even if you gather all nine Tailed Beasts, what does it matter?

The Tailed Beasts in your hands cannot achieve any greater effect!!

I know for certain,

that after gathering all nine Tailed Beasts, one can summon the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path,

thus,

I can become the jinchuriki of the Ten-Tails!
