Chapter 453: War Discussion


    "So, Hokage, Mizukage, and Kazekage, you all three means to say that a greater threat is lurking in shadows; waiting to destroy the shinobi world?" Onoki throws a skeptical nce at them.


    "Why should I trust your words?" He questions them.


    "None of you are trustworthy and this fourth shinobi war is not even our problem, but since that damn Akatsuki dared to kidnap B, we have to get involved." A clenches his fist.


    "And now you guys are spouting more nonsense about a much greater threat. Why should I believe you?" A bellows.


    "What we are talking about isn''t some baseless assumptions or information with no ground. We have solid information to back up our ims. Whether you believe it or not is up to you." Tsunade snorts.


    "Then show us the proof, Princess!" Onoki opens his eyes and nces at Tsunade.


    Tch


    Tsunade clicks her tongue.


    "The information regarding the otherworldly threats is confidential. We can''t reveal it without any sort of alliance or cooperation." Mei interjects.


    "Tch again with those lies! It''s hard to trust you, people, if there is no proof!" Onoki clicks his tongue.


    "What should we do?" Rasa turns towards Minato.


    "Hmm looks like revealing a bit of information will do no harm." Minato makes up his mind.


    "Very well! Here is the proof."


    Minato takes out one of Urashiki''s marites from his storage. He ces it in the center of the table.


    "Have a look at it for yourself?"


    Onoki, A, and Mifune stand from their seat to inspect the marite.


    "This strange design and this strange material!"


    Onoki touches the puppet with his hands and attempts to analyze its material using the Earth Release.


    "Hmm what''s the deal with this weapon? This is only the hilt. Where is the de?" A pick up one of the marite''s weapons.


    He swings the empty hilt.


    "Infuse your chakra into the de!" Minato informs him.


    "Huh!"


    A infuses his chakra into the de.


    Wham


    A purple energy de erupts from the base of the hilt.


    "This looks interesting!" A extends his fingers to touch the de.


    "I would advise against that!" Minato warns him.


    "Humph I am not as fragile as you think!"


    Bzzt Crackle


    A shroud his arm in the lightning cloak and slowly brings the de near his arm.


    The energy de easily pierces through his lightning cloak and cuts open ayer of his skin. Blood spurts out from his arm.


    Whoosh


    A quickly pulls away the de and stops infusing his chakra into it.


    "THIS THIS BLADE it easily prated my lightning cloak called the absolute defense without any resistance. How could this be?" A''s eyes widen in shock as he nces at the empty hilt.


    Even Onoki and Mifune are shocked by the disy. Both of them are aware of how hard is to pierce through Raikage''s defense and yet this de did it effortlessly.


    C quickly uses the Mystic Palm technique to heal Raikage''s wounds.


    "It''s futile!" Tsunade waves her hands.


    "Wounds from this de aren''t affected by chakra. So, medical ninjutsu won''t work on it."


    Tch


    C takes out a vial of medicine from his pocket and applies it on top of the wound. He prevents bleeding and applies a bandage on the wound.


    ''If Konoha mass produces such weapons, then even a regr jounin can take down a Kage with such powerful weapons. At this rate, Konoha might be the unquestionable overlord of the shinobi world." Numerous thoughts run through Onoki''s mind as he nces at A''s wound.


    Minato notices his expression and gets a hint of his thought process.


    "It''s not possible to mass produce these weapons!" Minato shakes his head.


    "These des are made of an unknown material not found in the shinobi world. The craftsmanship and the technique used to make these des are extremely advanced. I am pretty sure that no person in the shinobi world can make weapons of such caliber."


    Mifune picks up the de and inspects it thoroughly.


    "Lord Fourth is right! Our Land of Iron is known as the forge of the Shinobi world and makes one of the finest weapons of the shinobi world. And yet we have never seen such material or craftsmanship." Mifune nods in agreement.


    "These weapons are almost on par, if not higher than the seven swords of the Mist." Mifune gently taps the sword hilt and praises the weapon.


    "The Seven Mist des are relics of the past excavated from ancient ruins. What are the chances these weapons aren''t also the same, excavated from some unknown ancient ruins?" A question the authenticity of the weapons.


    "No they aren''t that old!" Mifune shakes his head as he ces the weapon back on the table.


    "I am sure Tsuchikage-sama will provide a proper answer to your question." A turn to Onoki.


    "He is right! These weapons are barely a hundred years old. Using earth release, I can sense the age of a mineral. It''s mining and refinement. And it hasn''t been even a hundred years since this metal was previously refined."


    "Also, while I might not be a cksmith, but I have some experience in smithing. So, I can say with hundred percent assurance that this weapon was made within thest few decades." Mifune replies with confidence.


    "Tch so there is some truth to their words." A click his tongue.


    Onoki eyes the puppet with a glint in his eyes. While A''s eyes are hooked on the des. However, Minato quickly stores them in his storage.


    "If you agree on an Alliance and cooperate with us during this fourth Shinobi war andter, then we won''t mind sharing more of these secrets." Minato sets the condition.


    "Also, you might have seen that giant red mass of energy hovering over the skies of the shinobi world a few years ago," Minato asks them.


    Onoki and A raise an eyebrow as they recall the terrifying energy undtion they felt at the sight of that massive storm of energy.


    "Could that be?"


    "Yes, it was from an otherworldly threat that attacked Konoha. We were barely able to push hold him at bay with thebined efforts of all our elite shinobis. Only when Izuna made a move did we manage to kill him. Now, since Izuna is no longer with us"


    Minato''s words trail off, but A and Onoki understand the hint.


    "So, as you can see, it''s almost impossible to face them alone. The entire shinobi world has to cooperate to stand a slight chance against them." Minato remarks.


    "I see!" Onoki and A ponder over the situation. Even though A has quite a brash and unruly side to him, he is still a Raikage and thus possesses the necessary wits to manage a hidden vige.


    "We would like to see the body of that otherworldly being before we make a decision." Both Onoki and A respond to Minato''s words.


    Minato nces at Tsunade and Mei. Thetter shakes their head.


    "Unfortunately, we can''t agree to that condition." He shakes his head.


    "However, if you form an alliance and sign a non-aggression treaty, then there is a possibility. But you need to visit Konoha for that."


    Hmm


    A and Onoki ponder for a while before finallying to a conclusion.


    "Alright, we agree with the alliance. Let''s discuss the conditions."


    So, after another round of discussion and negotiation, the first shinobi alliance of the shinobi world makes its appearance.


    "So, who would be the suprememander of the alliance?" Onoki raises the most important question.


    "I think I am suitable for the task. I have enough experience and strength worthy for this position. So, I will nominate myself for the position." Onoki nominates himself.


    "Bullshit! If it''s anyone, then it must be me. I can trust you, old fox, for such an important position." A bellows.


    "So, I will nominate myself for this position." A proudly deres.


    "What about you, Lord Kazekage, Lady Mizukage, and Lady Hokage?" Mifune turns towards the trio.


    "I would like to nominate Minato for the position." Tsunade deres.


    "I too would nominate Lord Minato for the position of the suprememander." Gaara also nominates Minato.


    "I will also nominate Lord Minato for the position. He has enough strength and experience to hold such a position." Mei deres.


    "Damn! These crafty bastards." Onoki clicks his tongue.


    "I will concede this time." A also gives in.


    "Very well, it''s decided then. Lord Minato will be the suprememander of the Allied Shinobi Forces."


    "Now let''s discuss the division of the army and the location of our battlefront. I would like Konoha and other nations to share all of their intel on Akatsuki members." Mifune deres.


    Thus, after the formation of the alliance, a strategic meeting about the uing Fourth Shinobi War takes ce.
