After discussing their stance and resolve, the Five Kage proceeded to discuss the action plan targeting Ryun.
However, before discussing the plan, the Third Tsuchikage raised another issue, which was the Seven-Tails of Takigakure.
"Takigakure also possesses a Tailed Beast. Should we notify them about this operation? Or should they also contribute some effort?"
Hearing this question, the other four Kage were visibly stunned for a moment, then they all expressed their opinions, agreeing that Takigakure should also contribute.
"Should the Takiage join the battle? But from what I know, that guy's strength is mediocre. If it really comes to a fight, he might not be of much help..." The Third Hokage said in a deep voice.
Given his strength, he certainly had the right to say this.
"Then have their Jinchuriki join the battle. According to the intelligence we have gathered, Takigakure's Seven-Tails already has a corresponding Jinchuriki. This power is not to be underestimated. Having the Jinchuriki participate is far more reliable than having the Takiage join..." The Third Tsuchikage's words surprised the other four Kage for a moment, but soon the Five Kage unanimously passed this proposal without Takigakure's consent.
The Five Great Nations bear the responsibility, but the trouble is solved by the Five Great Ninja Villages? You hide in a safe place and do nothing? How can the Five Great Ninja Villages feel balanced about this? Everyone has a Tailed Beast, so why should your village not contribute?
Knowing that your high-end combat strength is not up to par, then send your village's strongest Seven-Tails Jinchuriki to assist us.
In the current ninja world, as long as these Five Great Ninja Villages reach a consensus, it is not just about demanding a Jinchuriki. Even if they asked for the Takiage's head, Takigakure would probably have to comply.
The Five Great Ninja Villages do not need to discuss matters like deploying a Jinchuriki with the so-called Takiage. They only need to notify Takigakure before the plan begins.
"This resolution is settled. Next, let's discuss the next issue... how the Five Great Nations can cooperate effectively and efficiently..."
The ninja world is vast. It might not be difficult for the Five Great Ninja Villages to find a person, but the challenge is how to keep that person contained and how to coordinate their actions.
Given Ryun's current strength, any Kage who encounters him would be in grave danger. No Kage dares to claim they can defeat him. Otherwise, the five of them would not have united to initiate this meeting today.
So the question arises: the Five Kage cannot be gathered together at all times. Even if they find Ryun's location, how should they engage him?
This issue involves time and space.
For example, if Ryun appears within the Land of Lightning, and Kumogakure discovers him and immediately sends elites to surround him, even if the Raikage notifies the other four nations immediately, how can they ensure the other four Kage arrive in time?
It must be understood that a presence like Ryun cannot be blocked. Unless he himself wants to fight, almost no one in the ninja world can keep him contained.
"Our village has a space secret technique that can achieve long-distance spatial transmission. However, the drawback of this technique is..." Inside the communication chamber, the Five Kage began a long discussion.
This online meeting lasted from afternoon until night. The Five Kage needed some time to digest the meeting content before proceeding to the next round of talks.
Uniting to eliminate Ryun sounds simple, but actually taking action is fraught with difficulties. True coordination and unity cannot be achieved in just a day or two.
While the Five Kage were busy discussing how to kill Ryun, he had already left the Land of Water, passed through the Land of Fire, and finally entered the territory of the Land of Rain.
Currently, the Two-Tails and Three-Tails were secretly placed in Ryūchi Cave, while the Four-Tails and Five-Tails Jinchuriki were imprisoned in Otogakure. The chakra of several Tailed Beasts had been completely taken by him. Now, alone, he could wander freely again.
At this moment, he did not know that danger was approaching. He only knew that the Five Great Nations had secretly sent out a large number of elites to search for him everywhere.
He was not surprised by this situation. After all, he had not only single-handedly taken the Three-Tails by force but also destroyed most of Kirigakure right in front of the Third Mizukage. Any extreme actions taken by the Five Great Nations afterward were understandable.
In fact, precisely because the Five Great Nations were relentlessly pursuing him, he did not immediately retreat to Otogakure to rest.
He could not draw the hatred of the Five Great Nations to Otogakure. Otherwise, it would be a catastrophic disaster for the Land of Rice, and no one could save the country then.
"There are quite a few 'hounds' from Konoha as well. It seems those countries have reached an agreement with Konoha. Sarutobi Hiruzen must have made up his mind to come after me..." Ryun personally strangled a Hyuga ninja, his expression cold and indifferent.
He did not spare the person just because they were from Konoha. He had confirmed that this person's target was himself.
He had passed through the Land of Fire from the Land of Water without deliberately hiding his tracks, so it was still traceable for the enemy.
Although he had killed many pursuers and ensured their bodies were destroyed, the disappearance of the pursuers itself revealed location information. With the capabilities of the major ninja villages, they would eventually track Ryun down.
"This is so troublesome... Should I set a trap to lure them in and then eliminate them all together..." Thoughts flickered in Ryun's eyes. He was growing annoyed by the incessant 'hounds'.
"Never mind. I'll ask Hanzō of the Salamander about the situation first..." Ryun used an earth release technique to casually dig a large pit and buried the Hyuga Jonin. This guy was only a branch family member, not worth digging out the eyes. His Byakugan had already been rendered useless the moment he died.
At this time, Ryun knew the Five Great Nations were restless, but he did not know that the Five Kage had reached a comprehensive consensus and were preparing to move against him together.
Even if he knew, he would not be afraid. Nor would he stop his progress because of the union of the Five Great Nations.
Night.
Land of Rain, Amegakure.
"Bastard, you shouldn't have come to Amegakure at such a time. You will get us all killed."
A roar came from inside a luxurious high-rise building.
At this moment, Hanzō of the Salamander was glaring fiercely at the black-clothed young man before him.
He had sent a message to Ryun saying he had found the Nagato trio, but at that time, Ryun had not yet stolen the Three-Tails, attacked Kirigakure, nor come to Amegakure immediately...
After doing all those terrible things, coming here at such a sensitive time... What would the Five Great Nations think once they learned this intelligence?
Ryun has secretly allied with Hanzō of the Salamander? Amegakure is Ryun's base?
Please... Hanzō of the Salamander expressed that he had not participated in the struggle for supremacy in the ninja world for many years. Now he just wanted to slack off and enjoy a few more years of life. Amegakure simply could not bear this deadly burden.
