Chapter 245

He only then realized,

just how difficult it was to achieve the future he had spoken of!!

Merely being able to maintain the status quo,

was already extremely difficult!!

And this operation against the Land of Fire,

was even more a gamble-like act!!

Once successful,

he could immediately split the Land of Fire's abundant resources with the other three nations.

And once it failed,

then their Land of Wind might well become history,

vanishing completely from this world!!

"Since we've already decided to act together."

"Shouldn't we let the ninja behind us meet first?"

With his hands crossed, propping up his own chin,

the Daimyo of the Land of Earth spoke.

Although the four nations had formed an alliance,

acting together,

this did not mean the relations between their four nations had always been so harmonious and融洽,

they also had competition within their cooperation,

at the very least, they should now confirm who would be leading this operation!!

After hearing the words of the Daimyo of the Land of Earth,

the other three Daimyo also knew what he meant.

All four national Daimyo wanted to become the leader of this operation,

whoever was the main person in charge,

would naturally obtain more benefits and interests,

no one wanted to yield this right.

And the strength of the ninja behind them also represented their respective face and right to speak,

the stronger the ninja of one's nation,

the more benefits one could naturally obtain later!!

"That is only natural…"

"Although I am very confident in my nation's ninja."

"As for the rest of you, I cannot guarantee that."

"To ensure the success of this operation, it is naturally necessary to let each other see the people we have each selected."

The Daimyo of the Land of Lightning raised his brow, speaking confidently.

Even if the Daimyo of the Land of Earth had not raised this request,

he 3.7 would have been the first to raise it.

The Daimyo of the Land of Lightning himself had proposed this operation,

so he naturally wanted to become the person in charge of this operation!!

He could not possibly hand over the right of being in charge to others!!

"Indeed we should let them meet…"

"I also think this is very necessary…"

The Daimyo of the Land of Water and the Land of Wind both agreed with the two men's words,

even if they might not necessarily obtain the leadership of this operation,

letting the ninja behind them meet each other,

was indeed also very necessary.

They were confident in their own nation's ninja,

but that did not mean they were confident in the ninja of other nations.

Without seeing the people the other side had selected,

they were also not at ease with this operation!!

"Finally I can see how powerful the ninja of other nations are."

"I really must thank my lord for giving me this chance…"

As the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning clapped his hands,

a man with a resolute face immediately appeared behind him with a 'whoosh'.

Yotsuki crossed his arms over his chest,

looking at the Daimyo of the other three nations with an arrogant expression.

And on his body,

streaks of electric light and lightning arcs kept wandering,

making him look even more like a deity who had walked out of lightning.

What an arrogant fellow!!!

Seeing the arrogant and wanton expression on Yotsuki's face,

The expressions on the faces of the daimyo of the other three nations all involuntarily darkened!!!

The attitude Yozuki displayed,

showed not the slightest trace of respect.

"Heh… are the ninja of the Land of Lightning all this arrogant?"

"I'm afraid that after you witness the ninja of other nations, you'll lose all confidence in being a ninja altogether."

A pool of liquid suddenly appeared beneath the feet of the daimyo of the Land of Water,

the liquid slowly rising,

and in an instant coalescing into a human shape.

An old man with a scar over his left eye appeared at his side,

looking at Yozuki with a thoroughly displeased expression.

120 — The Confidence of the First Generation Kage, and Their Doubts Toward Hashirama Senju!

Yozuki kept sweeping his gaze around the place,

as if he were right at home here.

"What a superb Water Release jutsu…"

Yozuki's gaze sharpened.

Although his face still wore that same grinning expression.

He truly had not detected how that old man had slipped in using Water Release just now!

Yozuki knew

that this was a ninja whose strength was in no way inferior to his own.

At this thought,

he quietly tucked away the contempt he had been harboring moments ago!

Bai Lian had also been keeping a steady watch on Yozuki,

and judging from the aura emanating from Yozuki,

he was equally shocked by Yozuki's presence!

The two of them understood after only a brief exchange of glances

that the other was a powerhouse whose strength was in no way inferior to their own!

"Haha! Why must the two of you be like this?"

"From here on out, we are comrades-in-arms who will be acting together."

"There shouldn't be this much hostility between us."
