Chapter 404 Obito attacks
After the masked man and the Jinchūriki were mentioned, the atmosphere in the venue gradually became serious.

Previously, whether it was the quarrels at the Six Kage Conference or the old disputes between the Iwagakure Village and the Kumogakure Village, none of them could affect the current interests of the five major ninja villages. They were all disputes over face.

But the masked man is different. His actions of hunting down the Jinchūriki can actually threaten the continuation of the ninja village.

If the masked man really allows himself to hunt all the tailed beasts, the ninja world will face a crisis even greater than the two heroes of the ninja world, and even the five major ninja villages will become a thing of the past.

After looking at each other, everyone was still a little hesitant, not knowing whether to exchange information.

The hatred between the five major ninja villages is too deep. Even with the threat of the masked man, they still cannot trust each other. What if someone takes the opportunity to attack their own village?

Seeing that no one was willing to share information, the initiator of the conference, the Fourth Raikage, slowly said: "Since no one is willing to reveal the information of the Jinchūriki, let's start with the Hidden Cloud Village."

"The Eight-Tails Jinchuriki Killer Bee was attacked half a month ago. According to the feedback from Killer Bee and the Eight-Tails, in addition to the masked man, there are even more powerful ninjas lying in ambush in the dark."

"If Kirabi hadn't responded in advance, I would have lost him."

"However, this is not the first time that the Hidden Cloud Village has been attacked. Ten years ago, when it was fighting with the Hidden Leaf Ninja Village, the Hidden Cloud Village lost the Two-Tails Jinchuriki, and no trace of him has been found to this day."

"At first we thought it was Konoha or Akatsuki who did it, but now it seems to be the plan of the masked man. The masked man had set his sights on the Jinchūriki a long time ago."

"If you are willing to join us in encircling and suppressing the masked man, the Hidden Cloud Village will send a force of 500 people."

After the Fourth Raikage explained the situation of the Hidden Cloud Village, Ōnoki considered for a moment and said:

"The Iwagakure Village has not been attacked by the masked man, but Lao Zi and Han have both mysteriously disappeared recently. Although they usually have disagreements with me, they will never disappear without a reason."

"I think they have been attacked by the masked man, and they may have died now."

Taking the initiative to admit that his two Jinchūriki had met with misfortune was a challenge for Ōnoki. After all, the lack of successors in the Iwagakure Village was well-known throughout the ninja world.

After losing two Jinchūriki in succession, the Iwagakure Village can't expect to make any big moves in the next ten years.

After a moment's hesitation, Ohnoki said, "In order to avenge the masked man, the Iwagakure Village is also willing to send a force of 500 people."

The fifth generation of Fengyingxie looked at Bai Ye and said:
"The Jinchūriki of Sand Village has not been attacked by the masked man, but I suspect that the Fourth Kazekage is related to the masked man. If you encounter Rasa during your actions, you can attack him at will regardless of the attitude of the Sand Village."

"In addition, Sunagakure can also send out a 200-man ninja force to join the encirclement and suppression operation."

Hearing this, the other shadows frowned.

They didn't care about the attitude of the Sand Village. Besides, the defected Kazekage was still a Kazekage. Except for a few ninjas standing at the top of the pyramid, who could be a match for Rasa?

Even if we can defeat Luo Sha, who can stop Luo Sha from escaping?
Moreover, as one of the five major ninja villages, the number of ninjas sent by the Sand Village is too small. Two hundred ninjas are not even half of those sent by the Iwagakure Village and the Kumogakure Village.

However, considering the strength of the Sand Village, this number of people is not too few.

Terumi of the Hidden Mist Village meditated for a while and said:

"The Six-Tails Jinchuriki of the Hidden Mist Village was abducted by the masked man a few years ago, but the Three-Tails is still under the control of the Hidden Mist Village, so there won't be any accidents for the time being."

"If everyone can reach an agreement this time, the Hidden Mist Village will send 300 people to encircle and destroy the organization that the masked man belongs to."

After the Kirigakure expressed their opinions, it was the turn of the Fifth Hokage Tsunade. She spoke:
"The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is currently in the fortress, but Konoha should be the first ninja village to be attacked by the masked man. In that Nine-Tails Rebellion, Konoha also lost many ninjas led by the Fourth Hokage and his wife."

"In order to defeat the masked man, Konoha will send 500 people to participate in the operation."

After Konohagakure expressed its attitude, Yahiko was the only one present who had not expressed his opinion.

At this time, the Fourth Raikage seemed to remember something and asked Yahiko: "Regarding Chief Yahiko, before you mentioned the Vulpix, I remember that the Longyin Village, which has always maintained neutrality, has joined the Yuyin Village."

Yahiko shook his head and said:
"They have joined the Akatsuki organization. Longyin Village and Yuyin Village are both members of the Akatsuki organization. There is no difference between the two sides."

Hearing this, the Fourth Raikage snorted and said:

"Isn't Akatsuki the Hidden Rain Village? Can't your Hidden Rain Village control Akatsuki? Didn't the Six-Tails Jinchuriki belong to your Hidden Rain Village?"

“There is still a difference…”

Yahiko tried hard to explain, but finally gave up: "Since Lord Raikage believes that Akatsuki is the Hidden Rain Village, then that's it. In short, Vulpix is ​​currently staying in Akatsuki and is very safe."

After a pause, Yahiko continued, "As for participating in the joint operation, the Hidden Rain Village can also send 300 people to assist and maintain the stability and peace of the ninja world."

The other ninja villages were not surprised that Yahiko acknowledged that the Hidden Rain Village had obtained the Vulpix.

If the Hidden Rain Village had obtained the Vulpix more than ten years ago, the five major ninja villages would definitely launch a joint action to force the Hidden Rain Village to spit out the Vulpix.

But times have changed, and the forces of the Hidden Rain Village are now able to possess the tailed beasts.

As for the fate of Longyin Village, they don't care at all. In the decades since the establishment of the one-country-one-village system, countless ninja villages have disappeared over the years.

After the six major ninja villages all had the idea of ​​forming a joint ninja army, they discussed the structure of the ninja coalition and selected the leader of the coalition. A newly established ninja coalition must have a supreme leader to function properly.

None of the five major ninja villages wanted to let go of the position of the Supreme General of the Allied Shinobi Forces.

Although the position of the chief general of the coalition forces is only a temporary title and can only command the ninja coalition forces in the action against the masked man, but even so, the ninja who obtains the position of chief general will become the most dazzling star in the ninja world.

The Red Sand Scorpion was the first to lose his temper. He stood up and said:

"I think I can be qualified for the position of the general of the coalition forces. As the general of the coalition forces, I need to be able to manage logistics. My puppet army can just guarantee the logistics of the coalition forces."

Before the Red Sand Scorpion could speak, Bai Ye stood up and refuted:
"Godashi Kazekage, you should take a rest. All the Kages present here have more experience than you. Only the Sand Village can accommodate a young Kazekage like you."

Hearing Bai Ye's ridicule, Scorpion fought back without hesitation: "Bai Ye, Jonin, do you want to be the general commander? You are not even the leader of Yuyin? Don't even think about humiliating yourself."

"I don't want to become the leader of the coalition forces. I just don't like you."

Following eye contact, Byakuya and Sasori started arguing. Their purpose was very simple. They wanted the other ninja villages to think that there was a conflict between the Sand Village and the Akatsuki organization, so as to lower their vigilance.

Seeing this scene, everyone around shook their heads.

Both Byakuya and Sasori are young men. Although they are very powerful, they are not calm enough in their behavior. They can lead the captain of the ninja coalition, but they are not qualified for the position of general. Mei Terumi and Zabuza of the Hidden Mist Village did not speak, but they were also ruled out.

Mei Terumi and Zabuza have good strength and reputation in the ninja world, but they are still some distance away from the Five Kage and it is impossible for them to become the leaders of the coalition forces.

There were actually only four ninjas present who were qualified to compete for the position of leader of the coalition forces, namely the Fifth Hokage Tsunade, the Third Tsuchikage, the Fourth Raikage, and the leader of the Hidden Rain Village, Yahiko.

Among them, the Third Tsuchikage and the Fourth Raikage were the most aggressive in their fight, as they both wanted to become the leader of the coalition forces.

Tsunade also wanted to fight for the position of leader of the coalition forces, but was jointly fought back by the Third Tsuchikage and the Fourth Raikage, and the reason was very simple.

There are too many rebellious ninjas in Konoha Village, which has caused great trouble to the ninja world.

Both Uchiha Itachi and Orochimaru were well-known S-class rebels in the ninja world. The latter directly launched the Konoha collapse plan and sent away the Third Hokage.

Tsunade was very dissatisfied with this, but there was nothing she could do.

Because what the Third Tsuchikage and the Fourth Raikage said were true, but she still believed in her heart that she could become the leader of the Allied Ninja Forces.

The reason is simple: she is the Hokage of Konoha.

Konoha is the only one among the five major ninja villages that does not covet other countries. Even if it obtains the position of leader of the coalition forces, it will not threaten the other ninja villages.

Yahiko did not comment, for one thing he knew that his reputation was acceptable, but his qualifications were different.

If the Hidden Rain Village develops normally, it would be very good if it could rely on this opportunity to become one of the six major ninja villages. It is really wishful thinking for it to directly obtain the position of leader of the coalition forces.

In addition, he knew that Bai Ye, the masked man and others would take action soon.

The position of leader of the coalition forces cannot be obtained by just talking. One must go through an iron-blooded trial to convince the other ninja villages.

Admiral Mifune, who was sitting in the main seat, was also thinking about the candidate for the leader of the coalition forces.

As the organizer and the largest neutral country in the ninja world, he was well aware that his support would be the last straw that broke the camel's back, and the leader of the coalition forces would be determined soon.

It is precisely because of this that he is very serious and dare not make a decision easily.

The person he values ​​most is the Fifth Hokage Tsunade. Tsunade is known as the Slug Princess in the ninja world. She has saved countless ninjas while traveling around the world. Even hostile ninjas are full of respect for Tsunade.

Tsunade's identity is also very special. She is a princess recognized by the Fire Nation and the granddaughter of the first Hokage.

When the first Five Kage Conference was held, the protagonist was the First Hokage.

Now, decades have passed, and the surname Senju still has a strong appeal, reminding people of the Senju Hashirama who pacified the troubled times.

Next are the Third Tsuchikage and the Fourth Raikage, but both of them have significant shortcomings.

The Third Tsuchikage and the Fourth Raikage were superior to Tsunade in terms of seniority and strength, but both were extremely aggressive during their reigns and launched many attacks on surrounding small countries.

If these two people were allowed to become leaders of the coalition forces, the ninja world would probably be plunged into war in the future.

As for the last person, it is Yahiko. Yahiko loves peace very much, but his strength is too weak. Admiral Mifune suspects that if Yahiko becomes the leader of the coalition forces, he may not be able to convince the people.

After thinking for a long time, Admiral Mifune had made a decision in his heart.

He decided to nominate the Fifth Hokage Tsunade as the leader of the coalition forces. In his mind, she was the best candidate, as the others all had more or less shortcomings.

At this moment, accompanied by ripples in the void, a figure appeared in the center of the venue.

This person was wearing a black and white robe, a very conspicuous spiral mask, and a round fan on his back, proving his identity as an Uchiha.

Seeing this, the ninjas present quickly guessed the identity of this person. This person was none other than the masked man who had hunted Jinchūriki many times and was the ninja they were going to deal with at this meeting.

After seeing Obito, the Fourth Raikage angrily said, "Masked man, how dare you show up at the meeting? Did you know what we were discussing and come here to die on purpose?"

"If you surrender now, we can let you die more easily."

Under the gaze of a group of Kage-level masters, Obito first glanced at Bai Ye, then said calmly:

"Isn't it just an attack on Killer Bee? Why did the Fourth Raikage even hold a meeting to discuss how to deal with a lone ninja like me? Isn't the Hidden Cloud Village invincible?"

The Fourth Raikage said with a cold face: "If you didn't like to run away, Killer Bee and I would be able to execute you on the spot!"

"It's you who can't catch up with me. Who said ninjas can't run away?"

"You, the Hidden Cloud Village, should reflect on yourselves. Have you practiced seriously over the years? Have you been able to restrain Minato Namikaze's tactics?"

After mentioning Namikaze Minato, Tsunade and Jiraiya found it difficult to suppress their emotions. They stared at the masked man and said:
"Masked man, you didn't defeat Minato back then, and the Nine-Tails is still in our hands. We won't give you a chance to escape this time."

"I'm standing here. You can attack at any time?"

Obito said with disdain that as long as he didn't fight with Byakuya, he would be naturally invincible with his ability to become hollow, not to mention that he was not the strongest ninja in this operation.

Ohnoki on the side was silent for a long time, and then performed the Dust Release Technique without any hesitation.

Ōnoki had only had a few encounters with the masked man, but since the masked man hunted the Jinchūriki of the Iwagakure Village, the two sides had become mortal enemies and there was no room for easing.

In an instant, the Dust Release condensed into shape, turning into a cube of Dust Release that enveloped Obito's entire body, and lasted for several seconds before ending.

Seeing this scene, Ohnoki smiled.

There is no one in the ninja world who can resist the Dust Release Technique, not even the Third Raikage who has the strongest body.

But the next moment, Ōnoki was stunned.

After the light of Dust Release faded, Obito appeared in front of everyone intact, and said with a smile: "Is this the legendary Bloodline Elimination Dust Release? It seems to be nothing more than this."
