Pirate: If you are immortal, I will first fill up the overlord color.

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.

In an instant, the atmosphere in the meeting room became tense. The Fourth Raikage clenched his fists and stared at him fiercely.

Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned and knocked on the table with his pipe: "Don't make the atmosphere so awkward!"

"Xia Le, I think that the other actors here, including me, don't want the war to continue."

"Also, we all want to know what the ultimate goal of the Rain Country is?"

"So far, you have plundered the Land of Birds, the Land of Rivers, the Land of Grass, the Takigakure Village, the Land of Fields, the Land of Iron, and other places through war."

"And these countries used to be the buffer zone between the five major powers!"

"They are connected to each other, forming a territory that is in no way inferior to the five major countries."

After taking a deep breath, Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke again in a deep voice.

"So, are you going to continue to start wars? And continue to annex other small countries in this world?"

"Do you really want to unify the entire ninja world?"

"Are you willing to go to war with the five great nations? A war with the whole world?"

The sound echoed in the conference room, and everyone who heard it was shocked and became nervous.

The expressions of the other four shadows became extremely serious and fierce.

There is no doubt that although the Rain Country has annexed several neighboring countries and started a war with major powers, it has not yet started a full-scale war.

Most of them are local wars, and the parties are intentionally controlling the scope of the war within a certain area.

Objectively speaking, no one wants to go to war.

Time passed by minute by minute, and Xia Le fell into silence. The index finger of his right hand, which was placed on the table, clicked repeatedly, making a slight sound.

After a moment, his fingers stilled and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"The Rain Country has no intention of going to war with the Five Great Nations."

"This strategic action is just a military action that was forced to be organized and launched due to our own unstable factors!"

“It’s not directed at anyone.”

"How many homeless people are there in these small countries? How many civilians are starving to death every day? And how many people have died in the wars between your countries?"

"I think everyone knows it very well!"

"The Rain Country just wants to give these people who live on the brink of life and death a stable home."

Raising his eyes, Xia Le scanned all the figures present.

"I can guarantee that as long as you are willing to stop the war, the Rain Country will not invade the territories of your countries at will."

"Our goal has been achieved, and we don't want the war to continue!"

Exhaling slowly, Xia Le spoke with some emotion.

"This world is big, it's more than enough for our six great nations to survive together, isn't it?"

The five shadows' expressions became complicated, and they felt slightly relieved.

The Rain Country showed its extremely strong strength in this war, which was a huge pressure for every hidden village.

Once the decision is made to launch an all-out war, no one knows how much combat effectiveness the five hidden villages will have left at the end of the war.

This is a war that is totally unpredictable and unimaginable.

"The Rain Country has the power to unify the surrounding countries. We have all seen this."

The Fourth Kazekage Rasa, with his chin supported by his hands, suddenly spoke.

"The other four Kages, including me, also recognize the power of the Hidden Rain Village!"

“This is not something that we can target.”

"What we need to understand is the purpose and attitude of the Rain Country."

"An ambitious, insane, war-crazed nation, I think, will be a disaster for the entire ninja world!"

"It will also become the common target of our five major countries."

Pause slightly.

Luo Sha looked at Xia Le.

"Since Your Excellency said, the strategic goal of the Rain Country has been achieved."

"Then let's move on to the next step!"

"Continue to discuss how the six nations can maintain stability and peaceful development in the ninja world in the future."

Hearing this, Xia Le was a little surprised.

His eyes looked at Luo Sha, and his eyes flickered.

He didn't have much impression of the Fourth Kazekage. The only thing he remembered was that this guy died at the hands of Orochimaru in the future, and then he disguised himself as him and launched the Konoha collapse plan.

But at this moment, judging by his words, this guy obviously also possesses a certain political wisdom.

"it is good!"

Xia Le chuckled lightly.

Afterwards, the atmosphere of the meeting became noticeably more relaxed.

Representatives of the six countries made a unified decision regarding the ongoing war.

"First of all, stop the war around Yu Yu Country immediately, and the armies of all countries retreat!"

"Also, we must set up a defense line five kilometers within our respective borders."

"With the two sides combined, the Rain Country will form a 10-kilometer buffer zone with other countries. This can be considered a compromise between the two sides!"

Xia Le had no objection to this.

The strategic goal of the Rain Country has been achieved. In the future, it will need more development and absorb the land area, population, and resources absorbed by this war as quickly as possible to form a more powerful combat capability.

“Secondly, I hope that all countries can trade and have friendly exchanges with each other.”

"Of course, this is on a voluntary basis."

"The purpose of this meeting is to prevent the war and decide on our attitude towards the Rain Country."

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed lightly and spoke slowly.

The meeting reached this point, and because of the interruption of the visitors from the Hidden Rain Village, the option of the five countries fighting a joint war disappeared.

Since no one wants to fight, the only option is peace.

As for the future.

Let’s wait until the future!
Xia Le smiled slightly: "It seems that this meeting was a complete success."

“So far, the atmosphere is quite harmonious.”

"It's rare for the six of us to be able to sit together and discuss things as calmly as we are today!"

Ohnoki said with emotion.

“Peace is the goal that generations will always pursue.”

Mei Terumi murmured.

“But it’s so difficult to achieve peace!”

"Mutual misunderstanding and hatred passed down from generation to generation, how easy is it to resolve them?"

Luo Sha said softly.

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a puff and took a deep breath from his pipe. His expression could not be seen clearly due to the smoke.

"hehe!"

At this moment, Xia Le suddenly laughed.

His eyes scanned the area, and his tone was inexplicably erratic.

"There will be a solution!"

When the five shadows heard this, they were all shocked.

The meeting could end here. Representatives from the six countries gathered here to decide the outcome of the war.

"Xia Le!"

At this moment, the Fourth Raikage suddenly spoke.

"Many strong men have indeed emerged from the Hidden Rain Village during this war!"

"Your three disciples, the leaders of the Akatsuki organization, are the best among them!"

"Nagato, Konan, Yahiko, right?"

Xia Le looked up, a puzzled look on his face.

"So, as their teacher, how capable are you?"

This abrupt remark caused the other four shadows present to raise their heads in unison, their faces filled with surprise and a hint of anticipation.

"Oh? So, what does the Fourth Raikage-sama mean?"

Xia Le smiled.

"I want to learn your skills!"

The Fourth Raikage said in a deep voice.

He raised his right hand and removed the bandage on his left hand, then untied the white bandages on his body, revealing his strong body.

"and."

One of the eyes looked at the other four shadows.

"I think everyone here has this doubt!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Fourth Raikage suddenly shouted, his eyes glaring.

"Xia Le, do you dare to accept the challenge of our Five Kage!"

The loud shout was like thunder, reaching the ears of the other four shadows and causing their hearts to tremble.

The Sandaime Tsuchikage was the first to widen his eyes, as if he had not expected this scene at all.

But soon, a gleam of light appeared in his old eyes.

He was one of the few people who had fought with Xia Le in person, and he knew clearly how terrifying the power contained in the body of the man in front of him was.

However, after experiencing the tragic defeat in that battle, he was also the one who most desired to fight again.

This is a desire and ambition to defeat the opponent that one fears, an instinctive desire.

"A challenge from the Five Kage?"

Xia Le's mouth curled up and he smiled.

He looked at the other four people, and he clearly saw a desire to fight in their eyes.

Obviously, all five Kages wanted to fight him.

"It seems that even though the armistice agreement has been signed!"

"But you guys are still a little unwilling!"

Xia Le smiled faintly.

The five shadows all stood up and stared at him.

"The famous Black Flash in the Ninja World, we naturally want to see it for ourselves!"

"I heard that your disciples were able to fight the Fourth Raikage on equal terms. As a teacher, you should be even more powerful, right?"

The Fourth Kazekage laughed softly.

"I am also very interested. I want to see your true strength."

"Of course, I can't force you to reveal your true colors, Xia Le, with my strength alone!"

"But the combination of five Kages should make you feel a little pressure, right?"

Mei Terumi said with a grin.

"Naughty woman."

Xia Le commented with a chuckle.

His eyes swept over Sarutobi Hiruzen and Ōnoki, and finally he slowly stood up.

"Since all five of you want to see my strength!"

"Then come on!"

As soon as these four words were uttered, a strong wind suddenly swept into the conference room.

The peaceful atmosphere of the previous second suddenly shook and became extremely tense and suffocating.

The Fourth Raikage smiled.

Fighting with the strong is the desire of someone like him who likes head-on confrontations.

His knees bent slightly, and the next second, with a bang, the floor of the conference room collapsed, and earth and rocks flew everywhere.

His sturdy and strong body was wrapped in lightning in an instant and appeared in front of Xia Le.

He raised his sturdy arm, lightning swirled around his fist, and punched down.

Xia Le raised his head, grinned, and suddenly kicked his right foot towards the sky.

"boom!"

The ground shook with a huge force, and the violent force rushed to the surroundings, causing the ceiling to explode directly.

When the smoke cleared, everyone saw Xia Le raising his right foot above his shoulder and firmly blocking the Fourth Raikage's fist.

"Didn't you eat?"

"This little bit of power can't do anything to me!"

Xia Le smiled.
