A certain scientific Naruto - Chapter 410
c408 Talks break down
It is a very dangerous thing for ninjas belonging to different forces to negotiate with each other, because the safety of both parties is not guaranteed in any way. For this kind of profession, it is normal to fight on the spot if they disagree.
The same is true for the Five Shadows Talks. Although all parties seem to argue with each other during the talks and issues, in fact, 80% of their energy is spent on warning each other.
And this vigilance was almost entirely focused on Konoha, or to be more precise, it was focused on Hagoromo personally.
He deserves this kind of special treatment, and it is also the “respect” that comes with his strength. He is so respected that everyone wants to kill him directly. Unfortunately, this kind of thing is difficult to do.
The second of the three ninjas plus ShiroYasha’s trio undoubtedly put Konoha’s heaviest weight on the balance of combat power. Even Sunagakure, an ally, was wary of them, not to mention other villages. .
So when Hagoromo made a slight movement, all the ninjas present reacted almost instantly.
The situation is tense. Ironically, in the blink of an eye, the venue for the peace talks will turn into a battlefield where all parties are competing for their lives.
However, although the ninjas move quickly, the samurai move even faster.
As soon as Hagoromo finished speaking, more than a dozen warriors appeared around him and surrounded him.
Long swords, naginata, and ultra-short blades with cold gleams held by the samurai’s hands were pointed at Hagoromo’s vital points from all directions… The strength of the samurai was not simple.
“Everyone! Don’t move!”
“We are still in talks.”
Konoha’s movements forced Mifune to leave the chair. He intervened in the middle of the five villages’ forces and tried to prevent the upcoming conflict.
Mifune was facing Konoha. He looked directly at Hagoromo with a sharp gaze, but the person he was talking to was Tsunade, “The Fifth Hokage, please restrain your subordinates. This is the Kingdom of Iron, and the samurai are here.” This has been an iron rule for a long time as an independent and neutral force other than ninjas. No matter what, please exercise restraint!”
However, what’s the use of this little look? The samurai who can personally guard the meeting place are very powerful, but it doesn’t matter who they compare to. Looks can’t kill.
The person who has the strength has the initiative on the scene, so it is Hagoromo’s final say whether to take action or not.
“Hagoromo!” Tsunade’s tone showed that she wanted Hagoromo to restrain himself. Many things could not be solved by fighting.
In fact, before Tsunade spoke, Hagoromo had already raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, and at the same time, the Thunder Release on his body disappeared.
“Just kidding, I still know the rules…”
In terms of tendency, although the Iron Country is a neutral force, after Tsunade finished describing the cause and effect of the matter, Mifune, the host present, had already leaned towards Konoha. After all, if the tailed beasts could be completely eliminated, it would be beneficial to every country. It’s definitely a rare good thing.
More importantly, are there tailed beasts in the Iron Kingdom?
But a tendency is just a tendency, and that does not make Mifune ignore principles… If bloodshed really occurs during this meeting, then the Iron Country may lose its long-held neutral status. Compared with world peace, this is It is what samurai value most.
For example, if Raikage dies here, the Kingdom of Iron will probably be regarded as an accomplice of Konoha by Kumogakure. Then will the Kingdom of Thunder still recognize the neutral status of the Kingdom of Iron? Almost impossible. At that time, it also means that samurai will be directly involved in the chaos between ninjas, which is a consequence that the Iron Kingdom does not want to bear anyway.
“I’m just trying to liven up the atmosphere, but… the so-called ‘talk’ can end here, right?” Hagoromo said in a rather serious tone after suppressing his smile.
After reaching this point, there is really no need to continue the Five Kage Talks. In any case, there is no way Iwagakure and Kumogakure can just hand over the tailed beasts.
This is a matter of course.
As for what Hagoromo said about “enlivening the atmosphere”… this is indeed something he can get rid of. To be honest, he is a little disgusted and lacks patience. Ninjas are all profit creatures, and this boring farce should end.
From the beginning to the end, Hagoromo had no intention of attacking other Kage in the Kingdom of Iron. After all, he was essentially a rule-abiding person…how strange!
The situation of war for war’s sake basically does not exist. From the beginning to the end, the goals of Konoha and Hagoromo are very clear…it is the tailed beasts, not the shadows, so from this aspect, their action goals are completely consistent with Akatsuki’s.
If the Raikage and Tsuchikage are really dealt with here, it will be of no benefit to the realization of the goal… After the Raikage and Tsuchikage are dealt with, the command of Kumogakure and Iwagakure is likely to fall into great chaos. , then Konoha’s side will gain an advantage at the beginning of the possible war, which is an obvious benefit.
But it is impossible to expect that destroying the shadow will make the enemy give up resistance or force them to hand over the tailed beasts. War is still inevitable.
The enemy’s confusion is beneficial to Konoha’s side, but in fact, that situation is more suitable for Akatsuki to fish in troubled waters. Comparing the two, Akatsuki’s chances of taking advantage of the opportunity to obtain the remaining tailed beasts are quite high.
From a risk perspective, it may seem beneficial to resolve the Raikage Tsuchikage, but in fact it is the complete opposite. This almost inevitable possibility of profiting from the situation makes it impossible for Hagoromo to kill so blindly and “coolly”.
“Everyone, is it necessary to further discuss what the Hokage proposed? War is not a legitimate choice for either party.” Seeing Hagoromo withdrew the hundred thousand volts, Mifune breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, he was still trying to Maintenance talks continue.
It was clearly originally an issue of peace, but it suddenly shifted to the aspect of war. This made him feel abrupt, but there was nothing he could do about it… If nothing could be obtained through negotiation, war would be resorted to. This was an iron law that could not be broken.
However, it is difficult to recover from overflowing water. After reaching this point, it is no longer possible to bring the topic back to its original place. Furthermore, even the breakdown of such talks is the result that the Raikage side hopes to see.
The Raikage, who had not surrendered the consciousness of the tailed beast at all, was happy to see this happen.
Therefore, Hagoromo could neither retract his words nor would he.
“Enough talk!”
“No matter what, Kumogakure will not hand over the tailed beast for such a blind purpose. There is no need to continue the talks.”
“Want to start a war in order to prevent it? Konoha’s way of doing things is not convincing at all!” Raikage said as he stood up from his seat.
Accusing each other in this kind of multi-party talks is indeed a necessary quality for being a shadow of a village.
“Iwagakure also has the same opinion. Even if there is a crisis like what the Hokage said, it is enough for us to protect the tailed beasts ourselves.” The third Tsuchikage expressed the same opinion as the Raikage.
After the Raikage and Tsuchikage finished expressing their final opinions, the scene fell into silence for a moment. Although the most likely result that had been expected had happened, Tsunade was still speechless at this time.
“In that case, the Five Kage Talks have collapsed. In order to ensure the safety of all Kages, please evacuate the Kingdom of Iron in order…”
Seeing that the talks really couldn’t proceed, Mifune could only come to this conclusion.
In order to ensure the safety of all parties participating in the meeting, according to the prior agreement, all parties will withdraw from the Iron Kingdom in an orderly manner after the negotiation breaks down.
In order to avoid “ambushes” and the like, the principle of evacuation is that the weaker party goes first.
Judging from the situation at this time, the first to leave the scene should be the Earth Shadow, followed by the Raikage. After both parties leave the Kingdom of Iron and safety is basically guaranteed, the remaining Wind, Water, and Fire can follow one after another. leave.
This is because even excluding Hagoromo’s factors, the situation of the five great ninja villages at this time is three against two, with Iwa and Kumo villages at a disadvantage.
In the process of evacuating the Iron Kingdom, all parties need to act alone, and of course they will be monitored by the samurai.
On the territory of the Iron Kingdom, which is the presiding and neutral force, ninja parties are not allowed to mess around. As for after leaving the Iron Kingdom?
Ninjas play whatever they like.
As for the reason for leaving alone, this is to prevent the parties like Konoha, Kirigakure and Sunagakure or Iwagakure and Kumogakure from starting to discuss war strategies in the Iron Kingdom.
The Five Shadows Conference was held for the sake of peace. This kind of behavior of holding a small meeting for the sake of war is not allowed and is against the law. Want to discuss this kind of thing? Then please move to another place…
To put it simply, in order not to get involved in the affairs between ninjas, the country of the samurai must try its best to clean itself out, leaving no flaws if possible.
The Iron Kingdom will always stick to its stance of “fairness and neutrality”.
So Hagoromo’s battle royale… let him play it by himself.
