Pirates: I will first max out the domineering color if I am not dead

"Then let's officially get started!"

Seeing that everyone's emotions had calmed down, Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke again.

"The powerful rise of the Hidden Rain Village is undoubtedly the culprit that caused this turmoil that swept the world!"

"Now, they have actually occupied the lands including the Land of Birds, the Land of Rivers, the Land of Grass, the Land of Waterfalls, the Land of Fields, and the Land of Iron."

"It is undeniable that these countries are connected to each other, and their combined land area is no less than any of the five major countries!"

"These countries have played a significant role in reconciling conflicts among our countries."

Taking a deep breath, Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke slowly with a serious expression.

"Now, there are undoubtedly three problems before us."

"With this newly rising superpower, should we fight or make peace?"

"If it is a war, do we need the five great powers to unite together? Can the power of the five great powers be combined to completely annihilate this newly emerging threat?"

At this point, Sarutobi Hiruzen noticed that the expressions of all the Kages were changing at a speed visible to the naked eye, becoming solemn and serious.

Obviously, no matter which shadow it is, they are extremely wary of the power of the Rain Country.

"If it is peace, how should we negotiate with them?"

“Should there be limits on its territorial scope, military strength, and even political system?”

"In other words, do our five great nations have the ability to control it to prevent it from growing into a demon with the ambition to take over the world?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's words echoed in the ears of the four Kages, making their breaths heavy.

Fight or make peace?

This is the problem facing them.

If we fight, we will undoubtedly face a difficult battle.

Because in this war, which has lasted for quite some time, the power displayed by the Rain Country has not been weak at all.

It was even able to fight on three fronts simultaneously, against three countries, without being at a disadvantage.

Once the war officially breaks out, how much manpower and resources will they invest in this war, and how much loss will they suffer?

Objectively speaking, after the Second and Third Ninja World Wars, the power of the Four Countries has not yet recovered.

"Aiming at the Rain Country!"

"We five Kages should really think carefully and seriously about this."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said in a deep voice.

For a moment, the five people sitting at the round table fell into silence.

The round table was silent, and the guards standing at the back also frowned. In such an occasion, they naturally had no right to speak, but it did not affect their ability to understand the importance of this matter.

Suddenly, there was a noise in the corridor.

"Who?!"

"stop!"

"So fast!"

"His forehead protector is from the Rain Ninja! The Rain Ninja is here!"

The urgent voice startled the five people in the conference room, and then they suddenly looked up at the door.

Because the footsteps are already approaching.

The next second, a man in loose robes walked in.

Her black hair was simply tied up, her eyes were clearly black and white, and she had a faint smile on her face. She looked ordinary, but she could give people a terrible sense of oppression.

"Xia Le?!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's pupils contracted and he looked at the person who suddenly broke in, and he was unable to react for a moment.

"You are here too?"

Mei Terumi's beautiful eyes moved and fell on Xia Le, with a somewhat strange expression.

"He is Xia Le?"

The Fourth Raikage's eyes changed slightly, and his eyes were fixed on Xia Le.

Judging from the appearance, it is hard to associate this young man with the image of Nagato Sensei.

Because the other person looked too young, and at first glance he looked to be only in his twenties.

Between his loose robes is the emblem of the Uchiha clan, which symbolizes his identity.

The Third Tsuchikage Ohnoki narrowed his eyes slightly, but there was no change on his face.

The Fourth Kazekage Rasa glanced left and right, observing this famous and powerful man in the ninja world.

Because of the white flash of Hatake Sakumo, the black flash was also transmitted back to the village that year, attracting the attention of the strong men of the Sand Village.

In the blink of an eye, so many years have passed, and this man has obviously become more powerful. In fact, his appearance has not changed at all.

This point further demonstrates its strong strength.

"Mind giving up a spot?"

Xia Le smiled lightly.

As someone who had barged in here without permission, he didn't care at all and instead acted as if it was a matter of course.

The five Kages fell silent, not knowing how to answer his question for a moment.

The meeting between the five shadows in this conference room each represents the great power behind them. And one more chair would undoubtedly have a completely different meaning.

"how?"

"Are you all sitting here to discuss forming a ninja coalition to attack our Rain Country?"

Xia Le raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile.

The expressions of the five shadows changed slightly, but still no one responded, and no one was willing to bring him a chair.

“No one is talking.”

"Well, it seems that you all don't want to choose war!"

Xia Le said lightly.

"Since you don't want to fight, then just sit here and talk!"

After he finished speaking, Sarutobi Hiruzen raised his head and sighed softly.

He glanced at the faces of the Fourth Raikage, the Kazekage, the Third Tsuchikage, and the Fifth Mizukage, and after confirming what everyone present thought, he spoke slowly.

"Kakashi."

"Please bring a chair over here!"

Hatake Kakashi set off immediately.

After a while, a seat was vacated at the round table, which was the sixth chair.

Chapter 548 The Challenge of the Five Kage

Xia Le smiled and slowly sat down in his seat.

Then he raised his head and looked straight ahead, at Kakashi who was standing behind Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Seeing you in this state really makes me happy!"

Kakashi was startled, then said: "Teacher, long time no see."

Xia Le smiled and nodded.

The word "teacher" made the four Kage present look at Kakashi with surprise in their eyes.

Many people know the name of Kakashi Hatake. Over the years, Kakashi has had a high completion rate when performing missions, and his reputation has spread far and wide to other countries.

Shiro and Kimimaro also looked at Kakashi, observing him carefully.

The mask covered half of his face, and the only visible part was one eye and the same white hair as Sakumo-sama.

Kakashi was also observing the two people standing behind Xia Le.

"This is an atmosphere that keeps strangers away."

"Could it be that these two young men are also my junior brothers?"

Kakashi made some guesses.

The auras of Bai and Kakashi were undoubtedly very cold. This was the natural aura of people who came from the Blood Mist Village.

They had been through the most brutal, cruel things.

"Cough cough!"

At this time, two coughs were heard.

Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke slowly, his eyes falling on Xia Le: "You are still as young as ever, Xia Le!"

"Time doesn't seem to leave any mark on you."

Xia Le smiled slightly: "It's the Third Generation Master who seems to have aged a lot."

The Third Hokage was stunned for a moment, then he chuckled, as if he was sighing: "Yes, I have aged a lot in this position over the years."

Through the hat, one can clearly see the silver hair underneath.

Sarutobi Hiruzen is indeed old, and his aging is already very obvious. The wrinkles between his eyebrows are like mountains piled up together.

"However, since Xia Lenyi is here on behalf of the Hidden Rain Village, we can be frank with each other."

There was a pause.

"Let's talk about the major events that happened in the ninja world recently!"

Xia Le had no objection, he nodded: "I came here for this very reason!"

"Then, let's begin!"

"I think everyone here has questions to ask about the Hidden Rain Village!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen said softly.

The meeting room became quiet. After a while, the Fourth Raikage spoke first.

"I have no interest in the Rain Country's ambitions, nor do I want to understand them!"

"But you cannot affect the safety of our country. This is the bottom line of the Thunder Nation!"

"The Land of the Field Country must be ceded to the Rain Country as a buffer zone between the two countries!"

The Fourth Raikage folded his arms, and although he was covered in bandages, his words were extremely firm.

"Give it up?"

Xia Le raised his eyebrows and laughed.

His eyes fell on the Fourth Raikage Ai, and his eyes clearly revealed a hint of mockery.

"This land was conquered inch by inch by my Rain Country!"

"Just one word from you and you're going to let us give up?"

"Don't you think it's ridiculous?"

After a pause, his expression turned cold again.

"If you want a buffer zone, why not give up the southern area of ​​your Thunder Country as a buffer."

“I fully support this!”

The Fourth Raikage was furious: "Asshole!"

"If you want to fight, I'll accompany you!"

Xia Le's expression remained unchanged, not caring about the other party's anger at all.
