I, Naruto, started out with Hinata feeding me imported candy.

“Yes, and me too,” Ohnoki added. “I agree.”

“Everyone agrees, so of course I agree too,” Mei Terumi said with a smile, looking at everyone.

Now everyone present has reached a consensus, and everyone's face shows satisfaction.

At this moment, Onoki stroked his beard, stared at everyone, and asked, "Everyone agrees on creating the Allied Shinobi Forces, but I have one more question."

"Tsuchikage, what's the problem?" Tsunade raised her eyebrows slightly.

"Actually, I'm very curious. The Allied Shinobi Forces are here, but who will lead them?" Onoki asked.

Upon hearing this, everyone present exchanged glances.

In an instant, the atmosphere in the entire room seemed to freeze, as if it had been filled with superglue.

To tell the truth.

All five of them were wondering who should lead the Allied Shinobi Forces.

Besides.

The five of them had one more thing to worry about.

If one of them were to become the leader of the coalition forces.

If the Allied Shinobi Forces were to go to war with the Akatsuki, would the Akatsuki use ninjas from other ninja villages as cannon fodder?

after all--

None of the five Kage present wanted their village's ninjas to sacrifice themselves in vain and become cannon fodder!

If all the ninjas in their village were wiped out in the attack on the Akatsuki, it would be a huge loss for the entire village.

It could even damage the very foundation of the village!

That's not all.

Once all the ninjas in their village have been defeated.

How should my village develop in the future?

to the end.

Wouldn't that mean they've fallen from being one of the five great ninja villages to a third-rate ninja village?

so.

No one present dared to underestimate this matter.

Everyone is considering the pros and cons.

Just as the atmosphere remained tense, the Fourth Raikage, with his most impatient personality, finally couldn't take it anymore.

"Bang!!"

The Fourth Raikage slammed his hand on the table.

In an instant, a "click" sound rang out.

A handprint was forcefully left on the table in front of him.

At this moment, the Fourth Raikage looked at the four Kage before him and said with a serious expression, "Gentlemen, I believe that I am the most suitable person to be the leader of the Allied Shinobi Forces."

These words immediately drew the attention of Tsunade, Mei Terumi, Onoki, and Gaara.

Onoki smirked and retorted, "You want to be it? Then give me a reason that can convince me."

Hear this.

The Fourth Raikage narrowed his eyes, his mind racing.

After a short while, he found a breakthrough and said with a serious expression:

"Don't forget."

"Most of the rogue ninja in the Akatsuki organization are from your four major ninja villages."

"On the contrary, no rogue ninjas have ever appeared in my Hidden Cloud Village."

"At least there are no people from Kumogakure in the Akatsuki organization."

"So, it's not unreasonable for me to be the commander-in-chief of the Allied Shinobi Forces, is it?"

At this point, the Fourth Raikage turned his gaze to Onoki.

"Tsuchikage, is my reason valid?"

"This..." Onoki's thin, bony face twitched violently. He opened his mouth as if to say something, but he didn't know what to say in rebuttal.

The Fourth Raikage was very satisfied to see that Onoki had been rendered speechless by his words.

Then, he looked at Tsunade, Mei Terumi, and Gaara and asked, "So, it's only right that I take the position of commander of the Allied Shinobi Forces?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes flickered slightly.

Immediately, Mei Terumi said with a smile, "Raikage, actually I don't agree with you being appointed as the leader of the Allied Shinobi Forces."

"???" The Fourth Raikage's expression hardened, and he retorted, "Mizukage, isn't that a bit off?"

“Look.” Mei Terumi pointed to the table in front of the Fourth Raikage, where the handprint that had just been slapped was located.

"Raikage, you're too impatient."

"I think that if you were to take on the role of the Allied Shinobi Forces commander-in-chief, what if you made the wrong decision due to a moment of impulse?"

"Wouldn't the ninjas from all the major ninja villages have to pay the price for your erroneous orders?"

"I don't think any of you here can afford such a price, can you?"

Tsunade, Gaara, and Onoki all nodded in agreement as they listened to Mei Terumi's words.

Especially Onoki, who had just been rendered speechless by the Fourth Raikage.

As if he had found an outlet, he was the first to stand up and oppose the Fourth Raikage's appointment as the commander-in-chief of the Allied Shinobi Forces.

"Hmm, Mizukage's analysis makes a lot of sense!!"

"The Raikage has a very volatile temper."

"As the Tsuchikage of Iwagakure, I certainly don't trust my own ninjas to be under the command of the Raikage!"

When Ohnoki finished speaking, his aged face showed great excitement.

In contrast, the Fourth Raikage was in a bad mood.

When he saw the handprint left on the table, his face twitched violently.

I deeply regret it now!

If I hadn't slammed my hand on the table because I was too excited, Mei Terumi wouldn't have used it to criticize me.

It can be said--

The handprint on the table in front of him was like a fishbone stuck in his throat, causing him great discomfort!

now.

The Fourth Raikage saw that everyone disapproved of him taking on the role of commander-in-chief of the Allied Shinobi Forces.

In an instant, his face gradually turned black, like coal!

Chapter 175 The atmosphere is tense! Onoki's hopes are dashed!

at the same time.

Tsunade, Mei Terumi, Onoki, and Gaara naturally noticed the Fourth Raikage's darkening expression, but none of them said anything.

For a while.

The atmosphere in the room grew even more tense.

at this time.

The Fourth Raikage, whose face had been dark throughout, looked at everyone present and suddenly asked, "Since you all think I am not fit to be the commander-in-chief of the Allied Shinobi Forces, then who would be a better candidate?"

Upon hearing this, the shadows exchanged glances.

But they were all secretly plotting their own schemes.

No one present immediately answered the Fourth Raikage's question, and the room became unusually quiet, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that you could hear your own heartbeat.

however--

This eerie silence didn't last long, and was eventually broken by Onoki.

At this moment, Onoki looked at the four Kage of "090" in front of him, took a deep breath and said, "Everyone, I actually think that I should take on the position of commander-in-chief of the Allied Shinobi Forces."

Upon hearing this, everyone's gaze turned to Onoki.

Especially the Fourth Raikage.

He smirked slightly, crossed his arms, and asked, "Tsuchikage, give us a reason that can convince us."

Hearing the Fourth Raikage's words, Onoki was not surprised; on the contrary, he thought it was quite normal.

After all, when the Fourth Raikage was about to become the commander-in-chief of the Allied Shinobi Forces, he had asked the other party for a reason.

After gathering his thoughts, a serious expression appeared on Onoki's gaunt old face.

"Although a rogue ninja from Iwagakure joined the Akatsuki, I have been sending pursuing ninjas to capture him."

"Besides, I am the most senior of the Five Kage, and I have experienced all kinds of battles, big and small, in the ninja world."

At this point, a confident look appeared on Onoki's face.

He looked at the assembled figures and said earnestly, "Therefore! I believe that I am the most qualified person to serve as the commander-in-chief of the Allied Shinobi Forces!"

Then, Onoki looked at the Fourth Raikage.

"Is there anything wrong with what I said?"

"..." The Fourth Raikage's lips twitched violently, and he curled his lip, "Tch, so you're going to talk about seniority."

Onoki saw the Fourth Raikage purse his lips and mutter to himself, then grinned.

In his opinion.
