Chapter 453: War Discussion

"So, Hokage, Mizukage, and Kazekage, you all three means to say that a greater threat is lurking in shadows; waiting to destroy the shinobi world?" Onoki throws a skeptical glance at them.

"Why should I trust your words?" He questions them.

"None of you are trustworthy and this fourth shinobi war is not even our problem, but since that damn Akatsuki dared to kidnap B, we have to get involved." A clenches his fist.

"And now you guys are spouting more nonsense about a much greater threat. Why should I believe you?" A bellows.

"What we are talking about isn't some baseless assumptions or information with no ground. We have solid information to back up our claims. Whether you believe it or not is up to you." Tsunade snorts.

"Then show us the proof, Princess!" Onoki opens his eyes and glances at Tsunade.

Tch

Tsunade clicks her tongue.

"The information regarding the otherworldly threats is confidential. We can't reveal it without any sort of alliance or cooperation." Mei interjects.

"Tch again with those lies! It's hard to trust you, people, if there is no proof!" Onoki clicks his tongue.

"What should we do?" Rasa turns towards Minato.

"Hmm looks like revealing a bit of information will do no harm." Minato makes up his mind.

"Very well! Here is the proof."

Minato takes out one of Urashiki's marionettes from his storage. He places it in the center of the table.

"Have a look at it for yourself?"

Onoki, A, and Mifune stand from their seat to inspect the marionette.

"This strange design and this strange material!"

Onoki touches the puppet with his hands and attempts to analyze its material using the Earth Release.

"Hmm what's the deal with this weapon? This is only the hilt. Where is the blade?" A pick up one of the marionette's weapons.

He swings the empty hilt.

"Infuse your chakra into the blade!" Minato informs him.

"Huh!"

A infuses his chakra into the blade.

Wham

A purple energy blade erupts from the base of the hilt.

"This looks interesting!" A extends his fingers to touch the blade.

"I would advise against that!" Minato warns him.

"Also, you might have seen that giant red mass of energy hovering over the skies of the shinobi world a few years ago," Minato asks them.

Onoki and A raise an eyebrow as they recall the terrifying energy undulation they felt at the sight of that massive storm of energy.

"Could that be?"

"Yes, it was from an otherworldly threat that attacked Konoha. We were barely able to push hold him at bay with the combined efforts of all our elite shinobis. Only when Izuna made a move did we manage to kill him. Now, since Izuna is no longer with us"

Minato's words trail off, but A and Onoki understand the hint.

"So, as you can see, it's almost impossible to face them alone. The entire shinobi world has to cooperate to stand a slight chance against them." Minato remarks.

"I see!" Onoki and A ponder over the situation. Even though A has quite a brash and unruly side to him, he is still a Raikage and thus possesses the necessary wits to manage a hidden village.

"We would like to see the body of that otherworldly being before we make a decision." Both Onoki and A respond to Minato's words.

Minato glances at Tsunade and Mei. The latter shakes their head.

"Unfortunately, we can't agree to that condition." He shakes his head.

"However, if you form an alliance and sign a non-aggression treaty, then there is a possibility. But you need to visit Konoha for that."

Hmm

A and Onoki ponder for a while before finally coming to a conclusion.

"Alright, we agree with the alliance. Let's discuss the conditions."

So, after another round of discussion and negotiation, the first shinobi alliance of the shinobi world makes its appearance.

"So, who would be the supreme commander of the alliance?" Onoki raises the most important question.

"I think I am suitable for the task. I have enough experience and strength worthy for this position. So, I will nominate myself for the position." Onoki nominates himself.

"Bullshit! If it's anyone, then it must be me. I can trust you, old fox, for such an important position." A bellows.

"So, I will nominate myself for this position." A proudly declares.

"What about you, Lord Kazekage, Lady Mizukage, and Lady Hokage?" Mifune turns towards the trio.

"I would like to nominate Minato for the position." Tsunade declares.

"I too would nominate Lord Minato for the position of the supreme commander." Gaara also nominates Minato.

"I will also nominate Lord Minato for the position. He has enough strength and experience to hold such a position." Mei declares.

"Damn! These crafty bastards." Onoki clicks his tongue.

"I will concede this time." A also gives in.

"Very well, it's decided then. Lord Minato will be the supreme commander of the Allied Shinobi Forces."

"Now let's discuss the division of the army and the location of our battlefront. I would like Konoha and other nations to share all of their intel on Akatsuki members." Mifune declares.

Thus, after the formation of the alliance, a strategic meeting about the upcoming Fourth Shinobi War takes place.
