"Hokage, since everyone has arrived!"
"Then let's begin!"
"Speak! How do you plan to account to us for the matter of the Tailed Beasts!"
Right from the start, he got straight to the point. The Third Raikage's temper was as explosive as ever.
However, this time his tone and demeanor were much more restrained.
Although he had the First Raikage and Second Raikage above him, the Third Raikage's strength, coupled with his strong personality, made it clear that even in the current Raikage faction, he had basically secured absolute authority.
The Fourth Raikage was his son, and the Fifth Raikage unconditionally supported the Fourth Raikage.
The Third Raikage, Fourth, and Fifth, these three were clearly a united front.
Plus, the Third Raikage's proposal aligned with Kumogakure's interests, and his strong personality also satisfied the First and Second Raikage.
So, it was most appropriate for the Third Raikage to say this.
The other Kage glanced faintly at the Third Raikage. Kumogakure, as always, liked to cause trouble for Konoha!
Kumogakure's strength was formidable, basically considered the strongest ninja village besides Konoha, so it was normal for them to have more disputes with Konoha than the other Kage.
Everyone looked towards Naruto, awaiting his reply.
After all, in the current era, Naruto, as the contemporary Hokage, was also the Jinchuriki who had gathered all nine Tailed Beasts.
His terrifying strength was something even the Kage who had just arrived in this era were keenly aware of.
If not absolutely necessary, they really didn't want to fight such a person, especially since there was an even more terrifying Uchiha clan member by his side.
This Uchiha Sasuke fellow was even more terrifying than the Uchiha Madara of the past.
Although many Kage seemed to disbelieve this statement, since everyone said so, the Kage from various eras naturally didn't dare to be too certain.
Naruto looked around. Although Kumogakure had spoken, this was clearly the common sentiment of these people.
Otherwise, no one would be speaking up at this time.
Everyone was waiting for him to give an answer.
Naruto sighed and glanced at Sasuke beside him.
The current Naruto felt that, just as Sasuke had said, the only way to achieve true peace was unification.
Relying on alliances to maintain peace was simply impossible.
But now, Naruto still had to try his best.
Because if he succeeded, he would save countless ordinary people.
In this situation, it didn't matter if he took a gamble.
"Since the Third Raikage has taken the initiative to ask, then let's start with the Tailed Beasts!"
"I originally wanted to talk about another matter first!"
Naruto slowly stood up.
His expression remained calm, and although there were no fluctuations, his eyes revealed a hint of fatigue.
"The Tailed Beasts, I have decided to return them to each ninja village, to return the Tailed Beasts that originally belonged to you!"
Hearing Naruto say this himself, all the Kage suddenly seemed to perk up.
"Then in that case, Lord Hokage, why did you send people to our village to capture the Tailed Beast!"
The most furious was naturally Sunagakure. What appeared in their village was the Nine-Tails!
That was the Nine-Tails!
Since he was going to return the Tailed Beasts, why bother going to such lengths to capture the Tailed Beasts and then redistribute them!
Was it to show off their strength?
"Lord Kazekage seems to have misunderstood my meaning!"
"What I mean is, I will return your original Tailed Beasts to you, not these Tailed Beasts that have come here from other eras!"
Saying this, Naruto patted his chest.
"The Tailed Beasts that belong to you, haven't they always been with me?"
"I will return all these Tailed Beasts to you. Don't worry, however many tails your village originally had, I will return that many to you!"
Saying this, Naruto also glanced at the Sage of Six Paths.
"The Tailed Beasts I have here, due to the Sage of Six Paths, have had their consciousness erased. In other words, these Tailed Beasts are like a portion of chakra that anyone can use!"
"You just need to choose a suitable candidate to inherit this power!"
"At the same time, you don't have to worry about the Tailed Beast's power rampaging and causing the Jinchuriki to lose control!"
The Tailed Beasts having their consciousness erased seemed pretty good!
It should be known that although various villages had always cared about the power of the Tailed Beasts, the biggest problem with Tailed Beasts was the selection of Jinchuriki.
Ordinary people simply couldn't control the power of the Tailed Beasts, and those whose physique didn't meet the requirements couldn't even become Jinchuriki.
But now Naruto's meaning was very simple.
That is, anyone could control these Tailed Beasts.
Because the Tailed Beasts no longer had their own consciousness, their power could be freely controlled by the Jinchuriki.
And in that case, even a Kage could random become a Jinchuriki.
Just like the current Naruto.
Naruto looked at the gleam in the eyes of the Kage.
Each one of them looked as if they were afraid he would go back on his word.
"Hokage, are you serious!"
The first to stand up was the First Mizukage of Kirigakure.
However, Naruto was waiting for this very sentence.
"But I have conditions!"
"What conditions?"
The First Tsuchikage asked.
Sure enough, when it came to conditions, everyone's expressions didn't look too good.
"This condition is very simple. It is to hand over the Tailed Beasts you originally captured. These Tailed Beasts do not belong to this era!"
"Sooner or later, we will send them back to their own era. So, regardless of whether each village has captured a Tailed Beast or not, I hope you can assist Konoha in capturing these Tailed Beasts from other eras!"
"And after capturing them, send all these Tailed Beasts back to Konoha!"
Naruto's idea was simple, and he also felt that there was nothing wrong with his idea.
But he underestimated human nature. The Kage didn't believe that Naruto would really send these Tailed Beasts from other eras back.
Instead, they thought he wanted to use the villages to recapture the Tailed Beasts.
And Konoha's move was tantamount to getting something for nothing, with no loss to themselves.
Although the Tailed Beasts were returned to them, in the end, Konoha could still control nine Tailed Beasts.
And firmly suppress the major ninja villages. At that time, the major ninja villages would neither have the strength to deal with Konoha, nor would they have a suitable reason to deal with Konoha.
This wave perfectly interpreted and announced Konoha's hegemony in the ninja world.
"Hokage, what a good plan!"
"You want to use us to help capture the Tailed Beasts. Although nominally you have returned our Tailed Beasts to us, you have gained ownership of another nine Tailed Beasts!"
"In the end, Konoha basically loses nothing. If you have to say there's a loss, it's nothing more than losing the more easily controlled unconscious Tailed Beasts!"
The person who said this was Rasa, the Kazekage.
But his words were clearly the thoughts of the other Kage as well.
Hearing this questioning, Naruto was stunned.
He hadn't expected anyone to think this way.
He didn't need the power of these Tailed Beasts at all. What kind of person did these guys take him for?
Mere Tailed Beasts, Naruto already had the Nine-Tails, he didn't care about the other Tailed Beasts.
And at this moment, the Sage of Six Paths, listening to everyone's negotiations, sighed silently. It seemed… this era still couldn't avoid chaos!
The new era will become an era of chaos.
At this moment, the atmosphere of the meeting had begun to become a little tense.
