Orochimaru wasn't cowardly at all, he wasn't his teacher, and he didn't have many psychological burdens in Konoha.
If he didn't accept it, so be it!
Anyone who was dissatisfied with Konoha could defeat him.
It would be better if he could lead Konoha to surpass Sarutobi-sensei, prove his own superiority, and then get Lux's promise.
The worst thing was that Konoha's wealth would be destroyed, and he could change places and continue to sleep and rise.
Frankly, as Hokage, he came here freely, so naturally, he didn't have many doubts.
This kind of resilience and madness of turning the situation around was what made Konoha win in the last round of confrontation, and Sunagakure lost its money.
Now, Orochimaru didn't mind fighting Sunagakure Village again!
"Yura! Shut up!"
Chiyo shouted and stopped her aide.
Orochimaru was right.
Sunagakure Village currently wanted evidence but not evidence, and power but not power.
What would they fight Konoha with?
If Sunagakure truly had the confidence to fight, it wouldn't have accepted a huge compensation of one billion ryo.
If they lose, they lose. What's the point of wallowing now?
These are major countries and major villages, how can Yura still expect the Land of Iron to make a decision for Sunagakure?
In recent decades, there have been three major wars.
Chiyo has been repeatedly polished by reality and war, and she no longer has the impulsive energy of her youth.
If she were still young, she would take those puppets and start a war.
"Everyone, calm down! This is the Land of Iron, not your battlefield."
"If there are conflicts, please discuss them after this meeting."
Mifune acted like the host and suppressed Sunagakure Village's anger.
The Land of Iron had also been peaceful for too long, so these samurai were a little confused about their own level.
❀❀❀
After some interludes.
The Five Kage sat back down and the official meeting began.
Mifune looked at Orochimaru and went straight to the point:
"Then, may I ask the Sandaime Hokage... No... may I ask, Orochimaru-sama, why did Konoha hold this Five Kage Summit?"
Orochimaru slightly raised the corner of his mouth, and immediately stated his purpose without hesitation.
"I hope the five great villages can unite and destroy Amegakure Village and the Akatsuki Organization together!"
"Akatsuki?"
Everyone frowned slightly, with different expressions.
Everyone here had heard the name Akatsuki.
A new underground mercenary organization had emerged in recent years. This organization liked to accept war commissions from various small countries at low prices, and its efficiency and success rate were very high. It even gradually attracted the attention of major countries and villages.
In order to fight Kumogakure, Iwagakure had even hired Akatsuki more than once.
When facing the Akatsuki problem, each village naturally had different attitudes.
"Akatsuki? I've heard of this organization. It's a low-level mercenary organization. Why is it related to Amegakure Village, and why is Konoha so eager to destroy them?"
"Hokage, you have to give us a reason, right?"
Fourth Raikage was the most honest in his attitude towards Akatsuki, after all, they never used mercenaries from other villages, so how could they use their own mercenaries?
"The reason is very simple. The foundation of the Akatsuki organization is in Amegakure Village, and they are secretly gathering the Bijuu, preparing to use the power of the Bijuu to unify the entire ninja world!"
Orochimaru directly revealed Akatsuki's goals.
The Tsukuyomi Project was too complicated and difficult to explain. Instead, he stated that Akatsuki's goal was to eliminate the five great villages and unify the ninja world, which was even more coercive.
"WHAT!"
"A small ninja village actually has such ambitions? How dare they!"
Fourth Raikage slammed the table, his anger rising.
No one from Kumogakure dared to think about unifying the ninja world. The Akatsuki and Amegakure ninja village actually want to swallow the whole world?
"Hokage-dono, do you have any more real evidence? You're not just inciting us to destroy a small ninja village, are you?" Onoki asked.
He didn't think Akatsuki could have such ambitions and power.
In his eyes, Akatsuki was still a fairly good underground mercenary organization, even with the support of Amegakure Village, how much could that organization grow?
Amegakure Village and the entire Rain Country were nothing more than a battlefield.
Is a village as small as that worthy of unifying the ninja world?
Orochimaru continued seriously: "Everyone should know that I defected to Konoha for a while, right?"
"At that time, I joined the Akatsuki organization to spy on information. This was also arranged by Sandaime."
Such that when Kakashi and Kabuto behind the curtain heard this, they couldn't help but hide their faces and click their tongues.
In terms of shamelessness, it must be Orochimaru!
It must be said that he has too thick a skin! Or does he have no shame at all?
But the others didn't know, everyone thought Orochimaru's defection was arranged by Hiruzen.
Otherwise, how could we explain that he would hand over the throne to Orochimaru now?
With this evidence, Orochimaru's information became more credible.
"Not enough, there's still no direct evidence!" Onoki was reluctant and continued to ask.
Orochimaru frowned slightly, so he continued to move. He had naturally prepared well beforehand to attend the Five Kage Summit.
"Do you want more evidence? Then, you should ask the Mizukage how Akatsuki treated their village? And how they used Kirigakure Village to develop..."
Orochimaru pointed his finger at Kirigakure Village.
Fifth Mizukage Terumi Mei panicked, but still put on a resolute expression.
Seeing everyone looking at her, she knew she couldn't hide it anymore. So she admitted shyly: "The previous Mizukage in Kirigakure Village was the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura. He was controlled by genjutsu and once again implemented the blood mist policy, causing many casualties in the village."
"We suspect that the manipulator behind it is Akatsuki! But such a scandal is difficult to publicize, so we hid it and secretly gathered clues. But these clues ultimately led to Akatsuki!"
As soon as these words came out, Fourth Raikage became even angrier and slammed the table:
"As expected, Akatsuki is indeed related to Kirigakure Village! A dignified Mizukage would be controlled, he's so incompetent!"
Terumi Mei lowered her head, feeling very ashamed.
"Raikage, please be careful with your words!"
Mifune reminded appropriately, not wanting this meeting to turn into a confrontation.
"How is it? Tsuchikage, is this evidence enough? Even a village Kage can be secretly controlled. Isn't that enough to illustrate the power and ambition of Akatsuki?"
Orochimaru asked, making Onoki silent.
So Onoki could only turn around and ask Kazekage agent Chiyo:
"Kazekage, what do you think?"
Grandma Chiyo frowned and thought for a moment before replying: "I agree to besiege and suppress this dangerous mercenary organization, Akatsuki. But if you want to join us, Sunagakure Village no longer has the manpower to launch a war."
Sunagakure was truly clean. The previous billion compensation was just aid from the Land of Wind.
How could we save energy to start a war again now?
However, with her statement, the expressions of the other villages changed.
They spent money and manpower to destroy a wicked mercenary organization for the ninja world. Sunagakure just wanted to enjoy the results with just one sentence?
How can it be so cheap?
If you don't do it, I won't do it either...
Everyone should stop doing it!
Orochimaru clearly noticed the change in the wind direction.
He only had Onoki as a thorn in his side, but he didn't expect Sunagakure Village to be so troublesome.
It seemed he needed to take action!
Orochimaru turned to look at Chiyo, with a sharp look in his eyes, and played his card to attack again.
