Chapter 326 The Daimyo Alliance, One Month's Term!
"So he really is Jiraiya's disciple?"
"Yahiko----"
After hearing what Uchiha Izumi said, Tsunade was somewhat alarmed that the Akatsuki organization was actually founded by Jiraiya's disciple.
However, after Uchiha Izumi announced that Yahiko was dead, Tsunade's expression became somewhat hesitant.
She remembered Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan. Not only her, Orochimaru had also met the three of them. In Tsunade's memory, the one who impressed her the most among the three was not Nagato, but Yahiko!
After all, Tsunade's younger brother, Nawaki, has a personality very similar to Yahiko's, which is why Tsunade has a deep impression of Yahiko.
"So, does that mean Hanzo the Salamander of Amegakure actually died a long time ago?"
Tsunade's reminiscence of Yahiko lasted only a moment before she suddenly remembered something and asked Uchiha Ikezumi for confirmation.
"The fact that Hanzo the Salamander and Danzo Shimura joined forces is what led to Yahiko's death."
"And it was after Yahiko's death that Nagato's Rinnegan was further activated, gradually annexing Amegakure. As for Hanzo of the Salamander, he's probably been dead for a long time, right?"
Uchiha Ikezumi didn't hide anything. In fact, he really couldn't understand why Hanzo of the Salamander was called the Demigod Hanzo. After all, apart from the powerful venom of his summoning beast, the Salamander, Hanzo's strength was only about the same as that of a Kage.
"Hanzo is really dead—"
After hearing what Uchiha Ikezumi said, Tsunade's expression also turned somewhat melancholy.
The titles of the three legendary Sannin—Herself, Orochimaru, and Jiraiya—were not actually honorifics. In fact, they were initially used as humiliating titles by Hanzo of the Salamander, since the Sannin had genuinely been defeated by Hanzo.
So many years have passed, and Tsunade believes that her strength has improved a lot, but the oppressive feeling that Hanzo of the Salamander gave her back then still seems to be right before her eyes.
"Furthermore, why is Yahiko's death related to Danzo Shimura?"
Tsunade's melancholy didn't last long before she realized that what Uchiha Ikezumi said about Yahiko's death was also related to Shimura Danzo.
Although Tsunade knew that Danzo Shimura might have done a lot of bad things behind the village's back, she now felt that the chaos in the ninja world was inseparable from Danzo Shimura.
"The Akatsuki issue isn't something to rush to resolve. When the Akatsuki ambushed me last time, I destroyed four of the Six Paths that Nagato controlled. It will take him some time to repair those four."
"Furthermore, my Flying Thunder God technique still has a lot of room for improvement. Without the Flying Thunder God technique, even if we destroy the Akatsuki, it won't make a difference."
The reason why Uchiha Izumi never went after the Akatsuki was not because he let them off the hook, but because he knew very well that with Obito's Kamui, even if he could destroy the Akatsuki, it would be difficult for him to kill Nagato and the others.
"Is that guy named Obito?"
"That guy who awakened the Sharingan's space-time abilities, and who's even connected to the Fourth Hokage's death?"
When Uchiha Ikezumi mentioned the Flying Thunder God Technique, Tsunade also remembered Obito's existence. Tsunade had only recently learned about the connection between Uchiha Obito and the death of the Fourth Hokage, and in fact, most of the information was provided by Uchiha Ikezumi.
"That's right, only by completely mastering the Flying Thunder God Technique will I be confident I can kill that guy!"
Uchiha Ikezumi nodded. He could be said to have no weaknesses now, and he had even mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique. However, he was only at the beginner level of the Flying Thunder God Technique, and Uchiha Ikezumi estimated that he would still have a hard time killing Obito.
Not long after Uchiha Izumi returned to Konoha, Tsunade, the Fifth Hokage, took Shizune and Mitarashi Anko and headed towards the Land of Earth. The Five Kage Summit was about to be held, and Konoha had actually been delayed for a long time.
Just as the Five Kage Summit was about to be held in the Land of Earth, the daimyo of the Land of Earth, Wind, and Lightning met again on the other side.
Unlike their previous meeting when the three warlords looked so gloomy, these warlords were now all in high spirits and even seemed quite relaxed.
"In less than half a month, we have already assembled an army of 30,000!"
"Most importantly, following our call, the daimyo of those small countries responded one by one!"
"The daimyo of small countries like the Land of Waterfalls, the Land of Rivers, the Land of Stars, the Land of Hot Springs, the Land of Birds, and the Land of Tea, which we had never had diplomatic relations with before, have begun to send ninjas to join our coalition."
"In just half a month, a total of nine countries have joined our Daimyo alliance!"
The daimyo of the Land of Lightning looked at the map of the ninja world before him, his eyes filled with intense confidence.
At this moment, the daimyo of the Land of Lightning couldn't help but have a bold idea: if he could completely control this allied army, could he wipe out the entire ninja world and then become the daimyo of the entire ninja world?
"But the quality of ninjas from these small countries is worrying, and their strength is mostly that of genin."
"Although we have an allied army of 30,000, nearly 99% of them are genin. Can such an allied army really kill that guy named Uchiha Ikezumi?"
The daimyo of the Land of Wind couldn't help but pour cold water on the daimyo of the Land of Lightning.
His title of Daimyo also attracted some ninjas, and because Sunagakure had always been disobedient, the Daimyo of the Land of Wind knew that the difference between ninjas was sometimes greater than the difference between a person and a dog.
"The allied ninjas are weak simply because they lack suitable ninjutsu."
"If we all unleash some ninjutsu on the Daimyo's allied forces, surely some powerful ninjas will emerge from among them!"
"What's more, this is a combined ninja force of over 30,000; they could overwhelm Uchiha Izumi with sheer numbers!"
The daimyo of the Land of Earth spoke up. He had limited knowledge of ninjutsu, but he knew that more was better and more meant stronger!
Back then, the Land of Earth was able to overwhelm the Third Raikage with 10,000 genin. Now, with 30,000 ninja in their hands, including some jonin, overwhelming Uchiha Izumi shouldn't be a difficult task at all!
"Provide ninjutsu to the allied ninjas —"
With the Land of Earth's daimyo speaking up, the Land of Lightning's daimyo and the Land of Wind's daimyo also began to consider the suggestion.
"Then provide the allied forces with ninjutsu!"
"Give them a month. After a month, the allied forces will march on the Land of Fire!"
"This time, we not only aim to completely kill Uchiha Izumi, but also to conquer the Land of Fire as much as possible!"
"Gentlemen, what the great daimyo of the past failed to accomplish may very well be achieved in our hands!"
The daimyo of the Land of Lightning clapped his hands, his eyes filled with excitement and joy. Clearly, the daimyo of the Land of Lightning had been eyeing the land of the Land of Fire for quite some time!
