Konoha's Master of Illusion

Chapter 202 Is everyone here?
Chiyo braved the wind and snow to arrive at the meeting place, and Mifune, who had been waiting for her for a long time, said:

"Everyone from Sunagakure has finally arrived. The meeting will begin soon. Please enter the venue!"

“We just arrived”

Kankuro, who followed as a guard, immediately felt dissatisfied, but he only started to speak, and was interrupted by Chiyo himself in the middle of the sentence:
"Very good. I'm not that weak yet, and I can't keep everyone waiting. Please lead the way!"

She signaled Kankuro to calm down and stop making any sound.

Since Sunagakure no longer had the Kazekage and sent the old man Granny Chiyo, Gaara's sister and brother were naturally chosen as the bodyguards.

For them, Sunagakure's most important goal is to rescue Gaara, and the safety of the ninja world is even secondary, at least that's what they think for the time being.

On the way to the venue, Temari saw that her brother was still complaining, so she had to comfort her:

"We are already weak. It would be good if Konoha is willing to help. Otherwise, we won't even have a shadow, and we may even lose the qualification to speak. Don't cause trouble. Leave everything to Chiyo-sama."

She tried to be as serious as possible, but didn't exaggerate too much.

There is only one other shadow who can stand on equal footing with Kage. As far as Sa Yin is concerned, they don't intend to ask for too many things in this meeting, and they are even willing to give up some benefits in exchange for other villages to help them save Gaara.

Sunagakure needs a low profile. For Kankuro, who is proud by nature, he can only swallow his complaints even if he is unwilling to do so.

Chiyo's pace was slow and steady, and he stepped across the group of samurai guarding the outside of the venue. Under the leadership of Mifune, he arrived at the tables and chairs that had been prepared.

In the center of the hall, five seats were arranged in a circle, surrounding an open space in the center. The Kage from the other four villages were already seated in their seats.

In such a formal occasion, all the actors wore hats that represented their identities, with the words "fire", "earth", "thunder" and "water" written on them in different colors.

Behind each of them, curtains with the same calligraphy hung, isolating the figures of the Iron Kingdom warriors who were waiting in full formation.

The sixth seat is reserved for the host Iron Country, and is the seat of Iron Country general Mifune.

Seeing Chiyo Sunagakure walking into the venue and sitting on a chair in front of the curtain with the word "风" written on it, Raikage's eyes showed doubts:

"She is?"

Xi Li immediately whispered:

"It's Chiyo."

"Chiyo?" Raikage was stunned, and then he couldn't laugh or cry: "It's true that Sand Yin is also, can such an old antique be sent out?"

It's normal for Raikage not to know Chiyo. She is one generation older than Tsunade. She is almost an old guy who wants to argue with Tsuchikage Onoki about seniority. His fame is related to World War II and earlier eras. Waiting for the fourth generation Raikage in the Third War. When Ying and others were active, he had already begun to retire. Apart from serving as a village consultant, he usually only went fishing to pass the time and never had any other activities.

"It turns out to be Granny Chiyo, long time no see."

Tsunade is different from Raikage. She also became famous during World War II. The title of Sannin was just the beginning. In subsequent wars, Tsunade and Chiyo fought many times, and even cracked Sunagakure's poisonous weapon. Raikage To grow your reputation.

Therefore, she and Chiyo knew each other.

"Haha, it's Tsunade"

Sitting on the chair, Chiyo slowly handed the cane to Temari beside her, and responded to Tsunade's greetings:

"The little girl has become the Hokage now, but she is not as miserable as the old me. There are not even enough people in the village to come to replace the Kazekage, so I can only carry out my old bones."

"Chiyo, I don't want to hear this anymore!"

With his hands folded in front of his chest and his long gray beard dragging down his chin, Tuying spoke. The short, dwarf-like man with his big rosaceous nose moved as he spoke:
"What's wrong with my age? I'm still not very active. Don't blame age for your inability."

"I said something wrong, please forgive me, Lord Tsuchikage."

Chiyo acted very indifferent, eyes slightly squinted on her old face, with a kind smile.

"Tsk, people become boring when they get old!"

Seeing that Chiyo didn't fall for the trick, Ohnoki also felt a little unhappy. He just met an old friend and wanted to catch up on old times. However, when he saw that Chiyo, who used to have a tough personality and could be called an iron lady, actually gave in easily under his ridicule, he suddenly felt Very disappointing.

"Hey, old man, are you exhausted?"

Kurotsuchi stood nearby and immediately became happy when he saw his grandfather's unfailing expression and laughed softly.

Onogi was about to argue with his granddaughter when he heard Lei Ying's voice like a dull thunder:

"Okay, everyone!"

Raikage stood up with a body as strong as a bear and slapped the table in front of him, completely ignoring Mifune who should be the host:

"I'm inviting you all here this time not to reminisce and laugh with you! The threat from the Akatsuki organization is imminent. Sunagakure and we, Kumogakure, have already suffered losses, not to mention that a few months ago, Kirigakure also lost Three-tailed beasts, there is reason to believe that the Akatsuki organization will never die out in the days to come. Now that they have captured three tailed beasts, what will happen next?"

"I'll get right to the point! I propose that the five major countries unite and gather enough strength to completely eliminate this dangerous terrorist organization!"

The Raikage's voice was loud enough for the samurai guarding outside the venue to hear the content clearly.

After hearing this, the representatives of the Three Shadows and Sunagakure had different expressions.

"What Raikage-sama said is absolutely true, but I still have to say one thing. We, Sunagakure, will naturally not refuse to join forces to defeat our enemies, but we have more urgent needs. We hope that everyone can help us find the lost One-Tail. To find Gaara, this is Sunagakure’s only request, everything else is easy to talk about.”

What Chiyo said was not arbitrary, it was the result of discussions between the village elders and jounin.

Sunagakure needs Gaara, needs Ichibi.

As soon as she finished speaking, Lei Ying responded in a deep voice:

"It's very simple. We are already searching for the hiding place of the Akatsuki organization. Although it will take some time, the two Yuki people are Kumogakure's people, and we will definitely rescue them!"

The implication is that Chiyo's request is not a problem. Kumogakure is working on rescuing his second-tailed jinchuriki, and then adding the first-tailed jinchuriki, simple and easy.

These words also made Chiyo feel more relaxed, which was the best result.

But as soon as she felt relieved here, she heard Ohnoki start pouring cold water on her:

"Raikage, that's nice to say, but do you have any information about the Akatsuki organization's stronghold? Where are the One-Tailed and Two-Tailed Jinchuuriki now? Do you have any clues?"

"Not yet, but I believe there will be results soon."

The Raikage was choked by the Tsuchikage, but what they said was true and there was no way to refute it.

"We can't give up just because we don't have a clue."

"Ah~"

Onoki expressed his dissent in a long and humble tone:
"I didn't say we have to give up, I just explained the current situation. You'd better not be too full of words!"

"Asshole! I think you Iwagakure jinchūriki haven't been captured yet, and you're just gloating about your misfortune!"

With Raikage's violent temper, he couldn't tolerate Tsuchikage's provocation, and he immediately shouted angrily:

"You are not going to be with the Akatsuki organization again."

Seeing that the scene was about to turn into a mess due to the exchange of insults between the Tsuchikage and Raikage, Tsunade, who had been watching the show, finally couldn't help it anymore, used chakra to amplify the sound waves, and interrupted:

"Alright, Raikage! And the Tsuchikage! Now is not the time to blame each other. Please calm down."

"In addition, I have something to explain to you, that is, for the time being, most of the forces in the Akatsuki organization are no longer our enemies!"

As soon as these words were said, Raikage and Tukage immediately attracted inexplicable gazes, even a little as if they were looking at a fool.

Especially Raikage, he looked at Tsunade, as if saying:
"Do you think we are fools? Or do you think your Hokage of Konoha is a fool?"

This news was too heavy and somewhat confusing. Their reactions were also expected by Tsunade, so she immediately continued:
"First of all, Mizukage can prove what I said."

She said and looked at Terumi Mei.

Terumi Mei saw her gaze coming over and leisurely picked at the non-existent stains between her nails and nodded:
"Yes."

"Then let me be specific."

Tsunade was about to start a long speech about the good things someone had done, when she saw an obvious black dot emerging without warning in the central open space surrounded by five tables and chairs.

At this moment, everyone raised their spirits, their chakras circulated, and they held their weapons or were ready to use ninjutsu in seals.

Mifune was the first to stand up, gave instructions to the surrounding samurai, and drew out his katana at the same time.

Everything changed in an instant, from the appearance of the black dot to the appearance of the masked man within half a second.

"Yo! Is everyone there?"

The voice of the uninvited guest spread to everyone's ears.
