Chapter 548 The Challenge of the Five Kage

Xia Le slowly sat on his seat with a smile on his face.

Then he raised his head and looked at Kakashi directly in front of him, behind Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Seeing you in this state really makes me happy!"

Kakashi was startled, then said: "Teacher, long time no see."

Xia Le smiled and nodded.

The word "teacher" made the four Kage present look at Kakashi with surprise in their eyes.

Many people know the name of Hatake Kakashi. Over the years, Kakashi has a high completion rate when performing tasks, and his reputation has spread far and wide to other countries.

Shiro and Kimimaro also looked at Kakashi, observing carefully.

The mask covered half of his face, and only one eye and the same white hair as Sakumo-sama were exposed.

Kakashi, at this time, was also observing the two people standing behind Xia Le.

"This is an aura that no one should approach."

"Could it be that these two young men are also my junior brothers?"

Kakashi speculated.

The auras on Shiro and Kakashi were undoubtedly very cold. This was the aura that people who came from the Blood Mist Village were born with.

They have experienced the most brutal, brutal things.

"Ahem!"

At this time, two coughs came over.

Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke slowly, his eyes falling on Xia Le: "You are still as young as ever, Xia Le!"

"Time seems to leave no mark on you at all."

Xia Le smiled slightly: "The third generation of adults seems to be much older."

The Third Hokage was stunned for a moment, then laughed, as if sighing: "Yes, I have aged a lot in this position over the years."

Through the bamboo hat, one can clearly see the silver hair underneath it.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was indeed old. His aging was already obvious, and the wrinkles between his eyebrows looked like mountains stacked together.

"However, since Xia Leqian is here on behalf of Yuyin Village, then we can also be honest."

There was a pause.

"Let's talk carefully about the major events that have happened in the ninja world in recent days!"

Xia Le had no objection and nodded: "That's exactly why I'm here!"

"Then, let's begin!"

"I think everyone here has questions to ask about matters related to Yuyin Village!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen said softly.

The conference room became quiet, and after a while, the Fourth Raikage spoke first.

"I have no interest in the ambitions of the Kingdom of Rain, and I don't want to know about them!"

"But you cannot affect the safety of our country. This is the bottom line of the Kingdom of Thunder!"

"The land of the Kingdom of Fields and the Kingdom of Rain must be given up as a buffer zone between countries!"

The Fourth Raikage crossed his arms. Although he was covered in bandages, his words were extremely strong.

"Let it out?"

Xia Le raised his eyebrows and smiled.

His eyes fell on the Fourth Raikage Ai, and his eyes clearly showed a hint of ridicule.

"This land was conquered inch by inch by my Kingdom of Rain!"

"With just one word, you will ask us to come out?"

"Don't you think it's ridiculous?"

After a pause, his expression turned cold again.

"If you want a buffer zone, why not give up the southern area of ​​your Kingdom of Thunder as a buffer."

"I support this with both hands!"

The Fourth Raikage was furious: "Asshole!"

"If you want to fight, I'll accompany you!"

Xia Le's expression remained unchanged, not caring about the other party's anger.

In an instant, the conference room became tense. The Fourth Raikage clenched his fists and stared at the pull down fiercely.

Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned and knocked the table with his smoking pot: "Don't make the atmosphere so tense!"

"Xia Le, I don't think the other Kage here, including me, want the war to continue."

"And we all want to know, what is the ultimate goal of the Rain Country?"

"So far, you have plundered the Bird Country, River Country, Grass Country, Takigakure Village, Field Country, Iron Country and other places through acts of war."

"And these countries used to be the buffer zones between the five major countries!"

"They are connected to each other and form a territory that is not inferior in area to the five major countries."

Taking a deep breath, Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke again in a deep voice.

"So, are you going to continue to start a war? Continue to annex other small countries in this world?"

"Do you really want to unify the entire ninja world?"

"At the risk of starting a war with the five major countries? A war with the whole world?"

The sound echoed in the conference room, and everyone who heard it was shaken and became nervous.

The expressions of the other four shadows became extremely serious and fierce.

There is no doubt that although the Kingdom of Rain has annexed several surrounding countries, it has also started wars with major powers. But so far, a full-scale war has not begun.

Most of them are local wars, and several parties are deliberately controlling the scope of the war within a certain area.

Objectively speaking, no one wants to start a war.

Time passed by minute by second, and Xia Le fell into silence. His right index finger placed on the table clasped it, making a slight sound.

After a moment, his fingers stopped and a smile appeared on his lips.

"The Country of Rain has no intention of going to war with the five major countries."

"This strategic action is just a military action that was forced to be organized and carried out based on its own instability!"

"It's not directed at anyone."

"How many homeless people are there in these small countries, how many civilians are hungry, how many people starve to death every day, and how many people die because of the war between your countries."

"I think everyone knows it very well!"

"The Kingdom of Rain just wants to give these people living on the edge of life and death a stable home."

Lifting his eyes, Xia Le scanned all the figures present.

"I can guarantee that as long as you are willing to stop the war, the Kingdom of Rain will not invade your country's territory at will."

"Our goal has been achieved, and we do not want the war to continue!"

Xia Le breathed out slowly, and his words were somewhat emotional.

"This world is big enough to accommodate our six big countries and survive together, isn't it?"

The expressions of the five shadow figures became complicated, and they felt slightly relieved.

The Kingdom of Rain showed extremely strong strength in this war. This is a huge pressure for every hidden village.

Once the decision is made to launch a full-scale war, no one knows how much combat power the five hidden villages will have left in the end.

This is a war that is simply unpredictable and unimaginable.

"The Kingdom of Rain has the power to unify the surrounding countries, we have all seen this."

Luo Sha, the Fourth Kazekage, put his chin on his hands and suddenly spoke.

"The other four shadows, including me, also recognize the power of Hidden Rain Village!"

"It's not something that we can address."

"What we need to understand is the purpose and attitude of the Kingdom of Rain."

"A war-mad country that is ambitious and heartless, I think it will be a disaster for the entire ninja world!"

"It will also become the common target of our five major countries."

Pause slightly.

Luo Sha looked at Xia Le.

"Since your Excellency said, the strategic goal of the Kingdom of Rain has been achieved."

"Then, let's move on to the next step!"

"Continue to discuss how the six nations can maintain stability and peaceful development in the ninja world in the future."

Hearing this, Xia Le was a little surprised.

His eyes looked at Luo Sha, and his eyes flickered.

He didn't have many memories of the Fourth Kazekage. The only thing he remembered was that this guy died in the hands of Orochimaru in the future, and later disguised himself as him and launched the Konoha Collapse Plan.

But at this moment, judging by his words, this guy obviously also has a certain amount of political wisdom.

"good!"

Xia Le chuckled.

Afterwards, the atmosphere of the meeting became noticeably more relaxed.

Representatives of the six countries made a unified decision on the ongoing war.

"First of all, stop the war around the Kingdom of Rain as soon as possible, and the armies of all countries will retreat!"

"Furthermore, defense lines must be set up within five kilometers of their respective borders."

"With the two parties superimposed, the Kingdom of Rain will form a ten-kilometer buffer zone with other countries. This can be regarded as a compromise between the two parties!"

Xia Le didn't have any objection to this.

The strategic purpose of the Kingdom of Rain has been achieved. In the following time, more development is needed to absorb the land area, population, and resources absorbed by this war as soon as possible to form a stronger combat effectiveness.

"Secondly, I hope that countries can trade and have friendly exchanges with each other."

"Of course, this is on a consensual basis."

"The purpose of this meeting is to prevent war and decide the attitude towards the Rain Country."

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed softly and said slowly.

At this point in the meeting, due to the interruption by people from Yuyin Village, the option of a joint war among the five countries disappeared.

Since no one wants to fight, the only option is peace.

As for the future.

Let’s wait until the future!

Xia Le smiled slightly: "It seems like this meeting was a complete success."

"So far, the atmosphere is quite harmonious."

"It's really rare for our six countries to be able to sit together and discuss things calmly like today!"

Onoki said with emotion.

"Peace is the goal that generations of people will always pursue."

Terumi Mei murmured.

“But it’s so difficult to achieve peace!”

"How easy is it to resolve the mutual incomprehension and the hatred passed down from generation to generation?"

Luo Sha said softly.

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a sip and took a deep breath from the smoke pot. Under the smoke, his expression could not be seen clearly.

"hehe!"

At this time, Xia Le suddenly smiled.

His eyes glanced around, and his tone was inexplicably erratic.

"There will be a solution!"

When the five shadows heard this, they were all shocked.

The meeting has ended here. Representatives from the six nations gathered here to decide the outcome of the war.

"Xia Le!"

At this moment, the Fourth Raikage suddenly spoke up.

"Yuyin Village did indeed emerge with many strong men in this war!"

"Your three apprentices, the leaders of the Akatsuki organization, are the best among them!"

"Nagato, Konan, Yahiko, right?"

Xia Le looked up, confused.

"So, as their teacher, what are your strengths?"

This sudden sentence made the other four figures present all raise their heads, with expressions of surprise and a little anticipation.

"Oh? So, what does the Fourth Raikage mean?"

Xia Le smiled.

"I want to learn from you your clever tricks!"

The Fourth Raikage said solemnly.

He raised his right hand, took off the bandage on his left hand, and untied the white bandage on his body, revealing his strong body.

"And."

One of his eyes looked at the other four shadows again.

"I think everyone here has such doubts!"

After the voice fell, the fourth generation of Raikage suddenly shouted, his eyes glaring.

"Xia Le, do you dare to accept the challenge of our five shadows!"

The loud shout was like thunder, and it reached the ears of the other four shadows, and also made their hearts tremble.

The third generation of Tsuchikage first widened his eyes, as if he had not expected this scene at all.

But soon, a ray of light appeared in his old eyes.

He was one of the few people who had fought with Xia Le in person, and he also clearly knew how terrifying the power contained in the body of the man in front of him was.

However, after experiencing the tragic failure of that battle, he was also the one who most wanted to fight again.

This is a kind of desire and ambition to defeat the opponent that one fears, and an instinctive desire to defeat the opponent.

"A challenge from the Five Kages?"

Xia Le's mouth curved and he smiled.

He looked at the other four people, and from their eyes, he clearly saw a desire to fight.

Obviously, the five Kages all wanted to fight him.

"It seems that although the armistice agreement has been signed!"

"But you are still a little unwilling!"

Xia Le smiled faintly.

The five Kages all stood up and stared at him in unison.

"The famous Black Flash in the Ninja World, we naturally want to see it!"

"I heard that your apprentice fought against the Fourth Raikage on equal terms. As a teacher, you should be even stronger, right?"

The Fourth Kazekage smiled gently.

"I am also very interested. I want to see your true strength."

"Of course, I can't force you to reveal your true strength with my strength alone!"

"But the combination of the five Kages should make you feel a little pressure, right?"

Terumi Mei said with a smile.

"Naughty woman."

Xia Le commented with a smile.

His eyes swept over Sarutobi Hiruzen and Ohnoki, and finally stood up slowly.

"Since all five of you want to see my strength!"

"Then come on!"

As soon as the four words came out, a gust of wind suddenly swept through the conference room.

The peaceful atmosphere a second ago also shook suddenly, becoming extremely tense and suffocating.

The Fourth Raikage smiled.

Fighting with the strong is the desire of someone like him who likes head-on collisions.

His knees bent slightly, and the next second, with a bang, the floor of the conference room collapsed, and the earth and rocks flew.

His burly, strong body was wrapped in lightning in an instant, and he was in front of Xia Le.

He raised his sturdy arms, lightning swirled on his fists, and punched down.

Xia Le raised his head, grinned, and kicked his right foot suddenly towards the sky.

"Boom!"

The huge force shook, the ground trembled, and the violent force rushed to the surroundings, and the ceiling exploded directly.

The smoke cleared, and everyone saw Xia Le raising his right foot over his shoulder, firmly blocking the Fourth Raikage's fist.

"Didn't you eat?"

"Your strength can't do anything to me!"

Xia Le laughed.
