Chapter 447: Chapter 447: Strong Konoha – The Confidence Brought by Strength
Soon, the other three Kage returned to the conference room.
This time, they had already discussed the matter among themselves.
They would not back down from the demands they had made earlier. At most, there would be a few more meetings. They would procrastinate for a few more days, giving in just a little bit. In this way, Namikaze Minato, the young Hokage, would be forced to make concessions.
Ohnoki and the Third Raikage believed they understood the character of Namikaze Minato. Their faces now wore an expression of confidence.
Only Yagura of the Hidden Mist was a little worried. Madara Uchiha was coming. It was clear that he was not here for a leisurely chat. Moreover, Madara had sensed the shift in Namikaze Minato's aura.
"Alright, let's begin," Namikaze Minato said, cutting straight to the point. "I hope this will be the last meeting of this alliance."
"The demands you made, I've agreed to what I can. If you are still dissatisfied, then leave the alliance."
Namikaze Minato spoke firmly, throwing out what felt like a bombshell. The words made Onoki and the Third Raikage's heads buzz with surprise.
When Namikaze Minato spoke, his tone was so resolute that the two Kage were momentarily stunned. They had only been out of the room for ten minutes, and yet it felt as if Minato had suddenly gained the weight of years of experience.
"Hokage, if you say this, it means we have nothing to talk about anymore, right?" Ohnoki pressed, his voice laced with sarcasm. "Since this is the Ninja Alliance, shouldn't it be the joint decision of all of us, not just your Konoha dictating terms?"
"Our thoughts and wishes no longer matter, do they?"
The Third Raikage joined in, challenging the Hokage. "Yes, Yondaime Hokage. If this is the case, do we even have the right to express our opinions?"
In their eyes, Namikaze Minato was simply bluffing. How could he settle matters that had been pending for days in a matter of minutes?
"It seems you two still don't understand the situation very clearly," Namikaze Minato said, his voice cold. "Or perhaps you don't want to admit the truth."
With that, Minato stood up, and a powerful chakra aura erupted from his body. His presence instantly shifted, and the entire room seemed to tense up in response.
What was happening? They had only been gone for ten minutes, right? Did Namikaze Minato just eat a nuclear bomb?
"Hahaha... Now this is the attitude I expect from Konoha!" Uchiha Madara's voice rang out, accompanied by a burst of terrifying chakra. The scarlet eyes of his Mangekyō Sharingan opened, and its overwhelming power swept through the room.
Uchiha Madara's aura made the others feel uneasy. Fighting? What a joke. Even if the four Kage joined forces, they might not be able to stop Madara. Not to mention that they were facing Namikaze Minato, the Golden Flash.
"Are you planning to fight?" Minato asked, his voice chilling.
At that moment, Kushina transformed, releasing the chakra of the Uzumaki clan. With the recognition of the Nine-Tails, she was now among the top powerhouses in the ninja world.
The room felt as if it might crack under the pressure of the gathering forces.
Boom~!
As the dust settled, the atmosphere became even more tense.
Ohnoki and the Third Raikage finally regained their senses. They had seen this kind of situation before. They were even the ones involved.
Such a situation had occurred when negotiating with Sarutobi Hiruzen, but this time, it was not Konoha who was under pressure—it was them.
The situation had changed too quickly, and they were still struggling to accept it.
"Allah..." Ohnoki muttered, shaking his head. "What is this all about?"
"I have no objections to Konoha's arrangements. But if it comes to fighting, count me out," Yagura of the Hidden Mist said, stepping forward.
Though he had been part of the discussions with Onoki and the Third Raikage, he did not agree with their approach. Konoha's current power far exceeded their own. Trying to manipulate them for more benefits would be pure greed.
Given Konoha's sincerity, Yagura was the first to express his willingness to work with them.
"I agree," said Rasa, stepping forward and joining Yagura.
He had no desire to make an enemy of Konoha, not after seeing how effortlessly they had crushed Sunagakure's defenses in a previous encounter.
Ohnoki and the Third Raikage exchanged looks, helplessness written on their faces.
"Have you two still not thought it over?" Namikaze Minato asked. "I understand striving for more for your villages, but don't be too greedy."
The pressure in the room continued to mount as Minato's chakra presence calmed slightly.
"If you're going to talk, take a seat," Uchiha Madara warned, his words laden with unspoken threat. If the two Kage didn't back down, he would no longer be patient.
Madara had no patience for Hashirama's soft methods. He would have demanded submission from the other villages if he had been in charge.
Faced with Madara's ominous threat, Onoki and the Third Raikage sat down, their resistance crumbling.
Seeing this, Rasa and Yagura let out relieved sighs. It seemed there would be no immediate conflict.
"Now, let's proceed," Namikaze Minato said. "As previously planned, we will establish a special training camp for the alliance."
"The enemy we face is not a single ninja village, but something far more dangerous."
With that, Namikaze Minato produced a scroll and handed it over to the Kage. It outlined the specific arrangements for the alliance's special training camp and the areas requiring cooperation from other ninja villages.
