Chapter 198: Films, Please Take a Seat!
Shortly after Minato Namikaze arrived, Mifune, the leader of the Iron Country's samurai group, slowly entered the hall.
It has to be said that Mifune is a samurai, and he actually practices taijutsu similar to the swordsmanship style. His swordsmanship is quite famous in the ninja world, and he can lead the Iron Kingdom to obtain a permanent neutral status, which shows that he has excellent strength.
In the huge conference room, hats representing the five villages were placed in five directions: the fifth Kazekage Aoki Shiraishi, the fourth Mizukage Gotachibana Yagura, the third Tsuchikage Onoki Yuito, the fourth Raikage Ai, and the fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato. , each sat down, plus each brought two guards and three ships, a total of sixteen people.
The atmosphere seemed extremely tense for a while. The Third Ninja World War had just ended. Except for Sunagakure and Kumogakure, Kirigakure and Iwagakure, no large-scale wars had broken out among the other villages. Or less armed conflict.
Among them, Konoha had conflicts with all four of the above-mentioned ninja villages, but Namikaze Minato was very well-educated. After he and Mifune looked at each other, the latter stepped forward, coughed a few times and spoke.
"In fact, according to Lord Hokage's request, the main purpose of this Five Shadow Conference is to establish a post-war communication mechanism so that the five major villages can communicate in a timely and effective manner when facing various problems and difficulties."
Communication mechanism?
Listening to Mifune's words, the shadows in each village said nothing, quietly waiting for Mifune's narration.
But soon the Raikage lost patience, because after Mifune said a lot of empty nonsense, the grumpy Kumogakure leader banged the table: "So what do you want to do?"
Namikaze Minato interrupted and continued what Mifune meant: "I hope that the five major ninja villages can unite to establish peace in the ninja world."
"How to unite?"
"Let's disarmament together, reduce the conventional ninjutsu of ninjas, and establish an elite model."
Namikaze Minato's words made Tsuchikage Onoki narrow his eyes: "Then the Hokage means how to carry out disarmament?"
“All parties specify a number within a reasonable range for disarmament.”
Currently, among the five major ninja villages, Kirigakure and Konoha have the smallest number of standing ninjas. The former is currently caught in civil strife, and coupled with its own cruel graduation system, the number of Kirigakure ninjas has always remained at a very low range.
The number of resident ninjas in the entire Kirigakure Village is just over 10,000, but Yagura, the Mizukage, can actually mobilize around 2,000 ninjas, making him the bottom of the five major ninja villages.
As for Konoha, the damage caused by the Third Ninja World War was too serious and the personnel losses were huge. Currently, there are only about 15,000 standing ninjas left.
However, Konoha itself was preparing to transform after the war. It would change the genin graduation assessment method during the Ninja World War, from purely testing only physical skills to a point where all aspects needed to be improved.
In other words, there is no need to recruit so many cannon fodder and it should be replaced by elite education. The number of ninjas in Iwagakure and Kumogakure is roughly the same, both numbering around 20,000.
Namikaze Minato's proposal was really aimed at the power, which was none other than Sunagakure, the biggest winner in the Great Ninja War.
Currently, the number of resident ninjas in Sunagakure is about 20,000, which is the same as Kumogakure Iwagakure. However, under the division of the six campuses established by Shiraishi, the number of genin graduated every year is in a very scary range.
According to Konoha's calculations, the actual number of troops currently controlled by Sunagakure is around 40,000, making him the strongest presence in the five great ninja villages.
Because of this, Namikaze Minato decided to unite with the other three ninja villages to demand disarmament against Sunagakure at the Five Kage Conference. In fact, it was also a suppression of the expansion of Sunagakure's power.
After these words, the scene fell into silence, and even the grumpy Raikage focused on the Kazekage.
"Hokage-sama, your suggestion is very good, but the demobilized ninjas need to have enough funds to support them to return to normal life. Has Konoha taken this into consideration?"
"this..."
Without waiting for Minato Namikaze to speak, Shiraishi said to himself: "The core of a ninja's daily living expenses is the task compensation system. Ninjas do not engage in production and labor. Once they are idle at home, huge conflicts will occur, and even major disasters will occur. Rebellion on a large scale will bring huge trouble to all countries. No one wants tens of thousands of ninja rebels running around, right?"
Tens of thousands of ninja rebels?
On the surface, Shiraishi's words seem to be worried about the lives of these ninjas who have been laid off, but they are actually threatening Konoha. If Konoha dares to use a standard one-size-fits-all approach to disarmament issues, then Shiraishi plans to throw these so-called rebel ninja troops into the Fire. country, leaving Konoha busy killing rebellious nin all day long.
Now the amount of tasks controlled by Sunagakure Village is no less than that of Konoha. Now that the number of ninjas is reduced, how can we maintain Sunagakure's huge financial expenses?
Onoki said coldly: "It is true that one size does not fit all. The actual situation of each village is different. That is why this Five Shadows Conference is held. I hope that all parties can obtain an acceptable range of conditions."
As soon as Tsuchikage spoke, Namikaze Minato's face muscles inadvertently trembled. He originally imagined that Iwa Ninja should be in step with Konoha on this issue, and both Kirigakure and Kumogakure would be happy to see Sunagakure weakened.
In fact, the other three shadows did not take the initiative to express their stance, or even intended to support themselves. The Five Shadows Conference seemed to be heading out of control from the beginning.
Maybe I underestimated the influence of each village...
"How to disarmament is a long-term matter, but I think we may simplify complex things."
The Fourth Raikage Ai finally expressed his stance at this time, looking at the several Kages present and their respective guards.
"There are five Kages and ten Jonin-level guards, totaling fifteen people. How about we play a special wrestling game in the Kingdom of Iron?"
A game of defense?
I saw the Fourth Raikage Ai like a lion, looking at the Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato with fighting spirit: "The purest challenge game. The loser is disqualified from challenging again. The village with the most successes in the challenge will be theirs." Decide how to divide the disarmament programme.”
"It makes no sense, how can it be such a childish thing?"
Onoki was the first to object. Several of the actors present were all of an older age. How could he, an old guy, compete with them in a ring defense game?
How funny!
"I think it's good."
Shiraishi was the first to agree with Raikage's proposal. Kumogakure deliberately mentioned this plan, which was actually a hint to secretly form an alliance with Sunagakure. Shiraishi knew it in his heart.
"Interesting, this so-called defense game."
Mizukage Yagura, who had been silent before, showed a cold smile that was inappropriate for his age, but this also meant that Kirigakure also agreed.
Sunagakure, Kumogakure, and Kirigakure all agreed one after another. Namikaze Minato on Konoha saw that the situation was not right, so he had no choice but to accept the challenge.
"Since Lord Raikage has proposed this plan, let the Kumo ninja send out one person to defend the battle first. As for the battle venue, let's use the area outside on the peak of the Iron Kingdom as the battle venue."
Since Kumo Hidden proposed this plan, let Kumo Hidden be the first to send someone to the scene. The fourth generation Raikage Ai Wushu waved his hand: "Samyi, it's up to you."
"yes!"
As the Raikage spoke, a beauty with short yellow hair beside Ai slowly walked out. She had blue-green pupils and held a small sword in her hand. She turned into an afterimage of lightning and disappeared into the meeting hall.
Under the flying snow, Kumogakure Jonin Samui stood proudly on the mountain peak, staring coldly at the area below, waiting for the challenger to appear.
Just when Shiraishi was about to stand up, Arakawa Arashi whispered in his ear: "Master Kazekage, be sure not to expose too many new techniques in the battle later."
"I see."
The moment they walked out of the conference room, Shiraishi and Namikaze Minato looked at each other, and a fighting spirit spread from the air.
On the towering peak, with the sky full of snow, Shiraishi discovered that although this place was suitable as a battle area, there seemed to be no audience seats.
Thinking of this, Shiraishi grabbed it with one hand, and the surrounding metal magnetic escape gradually condensed into sixteen huge seats suspended in mid-air.
"Everyone, UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.net please take a seat."
Surrounded by the power of mind, the white stone floats very lightly and rises to sit on the suspended sand silver seat. It is a unique magnetic escape application that can be maintained for twelve hours without the need for a caster.
In an instant, Minato Namikaze appeared in the floating position. Quickly than blinking, many Jōnin present showed horrified looks. They didn't even see when Minato Namikaze left the Flying Thunder God Style on Shiraishi Magnetic Release. Technical.
This is gold glitter!
While Shiraishi's eyes were tightly locked with the power of his round pupils, one thing was very certain. Namikaze Minato used the second stage Flying Thunder God, which is why there was such an amazing teleportation technique.
After Namikaze Minato sat down, Onoki controlled himself to levitate and sit on one side. At this time, the Fourth Raikage and the Fourth Mizukage also sat down.
The five shadows each sat cross-legged. At the same time, the guard jounin below also stepped forward. In the end, only one person was left and did not step forward, but focused on Samyi on the peak.
"It's him who dares to challenge Samyi..."
