Uehara Naraku's strength is the strongest.
Uehara Naraku's identity certainly cannot become the supreme commander, Tsunade thinks it better to give him the most appropriate position and make use of Uehara Naraku's strength to prevent that guy from flipping the table later.
Moreover, the enemies they are facing now are very powerful.
Tsunade previously thought that Uehara Naraku's power was just able to deal with some of the Reanimation Ninja, avoiding greater losses for the Ninja Alliance;
So when Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama might be resurrected at near peak strength, Uehara Naraku and the power of Akatsuki are indispensable now.
Tsunade hopes Uehara Naraku can best face either Uchiha Madara or Senju Hashirama after their Reanimation, if Uehara Naraku can even defeat one of them, it would bring great chances for them.
As for Uehara Naraku resolving both of them...
Tsunade truly doesn't dare to imagine such a thing...
Uehara Naraku doesn't care about what position he holds in the Ninja Alliance, as long as he can get the real-time movement intelligence of the Ninja Alliance...
As a result, Tsunade proposed him to be the Ninja Alliance Commander-in-Chief, granting him the power to mobilize the Ninja Alliance in real-time on the battlefield.
This...
How...
How could I be so impertinent!
Uehara Naraku raised an eyebrow, speaking to inquire: "Tsunade-sama, being the Commander-in-Chief won't mean you're sending me as fodder, right?"
"No."
Tsunade shook her head and explained: "Because your strength is considered the strongest, you are familiar with the Reanimated Ninjas, can deploy suitable ninja forces to fight against those they can defeat;
The most crucial thing is, once any area encounters a crisis, as the Ninja Alliance Commander-in-Chief you possess enough power to deal with some overwhelmingly strong enemies beyond our understanding…"
"Tsunade-sama refers to Uchiha Madara and the First Hokage, right?"
Uehara Naraku furrowed his brows, his voice suddenly lowered: "I don't quite think I'm qualified to challenge them..."
Tsunade shook her head, seriously looking at Uehara Naraku as she spoke: "I've seen the materials about the Reanimation jutsu before, existing in the form of Reanimation is also a form of weakening for them..."
"I disagree."
The Fourth Raikage watched them discussing, ready to raise a different opinion: "Wait, he's a member of Akatsuki, how could the Alliance be convinced!"
"But Uehara-sama's strength is extremely strong."
At this moment, Onoki recognized Tsunade's proposal, his hands slowly clenched into fists, his voice was somewhat somber: "Any bit of strength might increase our chances even slightly, let alone Uehara-sama is the demigod of the new era!"
Onoki's gaze slowly looked towards the Fourth Raikage, in a deep voice: "Raikage-sama, now is not the time to dwell on past grievances, if we are unable to defeat Uchiha Madara and the First Hokage, what awaits us wouldn't be anything good!"
"...Right."
Terumi Mei also slowly nodded.
This woman had also heard the legend of Uchiha Madara.
For those ninjas from the Hidden Mist Village in the Land of Water, almost without exception, they were all bullied by that guy, Uchiha Madara; later during the ninja world wars, Hidden Mist Village's ninjas often fought against the Uchiha Clan...
It really is a bitter fate.
"What we're discussing next is to select the supreme commander of the entire Ninja Alliance, responsible for directing all actions of the Ninja Alliance!"
Tsunade leaned against her chair, her fingers tapping on the table: "I hope there won't be any objections to this personnel, after all, this person is to lead an army of tens of thousands of ninjas, responsible for the safety of the entire Ninja World!"
"Hmm..."
Gaara's eyes lightly scanned, his gaze settled on Tsunade: "It seems there is no more suitable candidate than Tsunade-sama, right?"
"Agree."
Terumi Mei nodded.
On this point, she sides with Gaara and Tsunade.
No matter how you look at it, the old-fashioned Third Tsuchikage Onoki and the always greedy and irrational Fourth Raikage, Tsunade as an ally, still looks reliable.
"Agree."
Uehara Naraku sipped some juice.
To him, it mattered little who was chosen.
Of course, the Fourth Raikage disagreed, he immediately raised an objection: "Why's it Tsunade, this woman! She's someone who breaks her promises!
And our enemy, Orochimaru, was once her companion, belonging to the same Konoha Sannin, it's not convincing!"
Tsunade's face darkened slightly, her gaze dangerously focused on the Fourth Raikage: "Hey, Raikage, when did I ever break my promises…"
"Years ago when we arranged to meet in the evening, didn't you leave me to freeze all night in the cold wind, woman?"
"..."
The gazes of everyone gradually turned subtle.
These words somehow made people think a bit more!
Tsunade reached out and rubbed her forehead, recalling past events when she had hemophobia and encountered the Fourth Raikage.
At that time, one of the Fourth Raikage's subordinates was affected by a Jutsu, and when the medical ninjas of the Hidden Cloud Village were helpless, they happened to meet Tsunade.
Back then, Tsunade verbally agreed to make a bet with the Fourth Raikage, but instead, she drank all night, leaving the Fourth Raikage to face the cold wind... So when the Fourth Raikage met Tsunade in the Land of Iron, he sarcastically mentioned her tardiness.
Tsunade glanced helplessly at him, sighed, and said, "It's just that I tricked you once, right? Didn't I later have Shizune help you treat and save people?"
"But..."
"Alright, alright."
Tsunade glanced at the Fourth Raikage, suddenly curled her lips, and chuckled, "If you promise to protect every ninja of the Ninja Alliance like you did with your subordinate back then, how about I vote for you?"
"..."
The Fourth Raikage fell into silence.
That's a promise between a Raikage and a man!
Uehara Naraku chimed in at this moment, "Actually, the Fourth Raikage is also a good choice, at least he survived under my fists..."
"...Shut up!"
The Fourth Raikage initially felt slightly more favorable towards Uehara Naraku after hearing the first half, but was enraged by the latter half!
The Third Tsuchikage glanced at the Fourth Raikage A and the Fifth Hokage Tsunade, roughly understanding that the highest commander would probably be between the two of them.
The expression of the Third Tsuchikage Onoki showed a hint of regret, "I could also tirelessly serve, after all, I once commanded thousands of ninjas to attempt a... *cough* *cough* *cough*..."
Onoki realized those words were inappropriate.
Because in the corner of his eye, he had already seen the furious glare from the Fourth Raikage!
"Lord Tsuchikage, just admit you're too old and lacking in courage!"
Uehara Naraku glanced ambiguously at the Third Tsuchikage and sighed, "When I mentioned that Uchiha Madara might be resurrected, sweat was already forming on your forehead!"
"That's Uchiha Madara!"
The Third Tsuchikage pounded the table with his small fist, "No, there's no way I'd fear the enemy!"
"I've heard from Deidara..."
"Don't believe that bastard Deidara's nonsense!"
The Third Tsuchikage Onoki turned to look at Uehara Naraku with an ugly expression, "If we form a Ninja Alliance, transfer that bastard Deidara under my command!"
"He wouldn't like it!"
Uehara Naraku waved his hand, not wanting to comply with this request.
No matter what, Deidara couldn't return to the Hidden Rock Village to become the Fourth Tsuchikage; otherwise, Uehara Naraku actually wanted to try placing a member of Akatsuki as a leader in a major ninja village...
The thought of it was thrilling!
On the other side.
The Fourth Raikage looked seriously and solemnly at Tsunade, extending his hand towards her, "If I'm appointed as the Ninja Alliance Commander-in-Chief, I will treat all the ninjas from every country as my most beloved subordinates. This is a promise between a man and a Raikage!"
"Then I look forward to your guidance!"
Tsunade patted the Fourth Raikage's hand, curled her lips, and smiled, "If you act inappropriately, I'll dismiss you anytime!"
"Understood!"
The Fourth Raikage nodded solemnly.
Just as they resolved the issue of the Ninja Alliance's supreme commander, a mocking laugh came from above, echoing in the large room.
"I also want to recommend someone most suitable to become the supreme commander of the Ninja Alliance. Don't you think in this world, only Lord Orochimaru, who has peered into the truth, is the most suitable?"
"..."
Everyone present was stunned for a second.
The next second, whether it was the Five Kage or their accompanying guards, including the host of the Land of Iron, Mifune, all entered a state of alert!
Everyone knew, this must be an intruder!
Uehara Naraku slurped the juice in his hand, heavily slammed the glass on the table, sending ice shards flying everywhere!
Uehara Naraku lifted his head with a sinister expression, looking towards a corner of the room, his voice turning icy, "Yakushi Kabuto, I've been looking for you for a long time..."
