Kakashi's words completely coincided with the thoughts of those present, so the conference room was once again plunged into silence.
As one of the Five Great Ninja Villages, having to surrender to Konoha and affiliate with Konoha was undoubtedly extremely humiliating, and the years of war and hatred were not something that could be easily erased, and even if they surrendered, they would not be able to easily integrate into Konoha.
Inevitably, they would always be subdued and suppressed by Konoha....
Until the Sunagakure ninja would finally disappear, blending in completely with the Konoha ninja.
But.
If this ultimatum is rejected, a full-scale war will follow. As Kakashi had said, there would be a fierce war in the Wind Country, not to mention defeat, even if Sunagakure won, it would be on the verge of annihilation.
"Your demands are excessive."
The fourth Kazekage looked at Kakashi and said slowly, "Ten years of autonomy is not enough, I require at least twenty, besides, we can pay you a certain annual, but we won't send the younger generation to study in Konoha."
He intended to buy time.
There is no way they can allow an immediate outbreak of war with Konoha, so Rasa began to actively negotiate a change in the terms of the agreement to try to delay the start of the war.
Perhaps it will buy enough time for the other Great Ninja Towns to react and form a unified army.
Kakashi looked at the Kazekage with indifference, his Mangekyou Sharingan exuding great pressure and said, "The terms are non-negotiable, this is the final offer. There is no point in trying to delay negotiations, you only have two options now."
"The first is resistance, the second is acceptance."
"It's all very simple."
Rasa's expression darkened when she heard Kakashi's words.
The rest of the Sunagakure ninja clenched their fists tightly.
Baki took a deep breath and turned to Kakashi, saying, "Rejection will be followed by the start of the Fourth Ninja World War , but even if we win, we will have a sad ending, so you mean acceptance is the most reasonable choice, right?"
"..."
Kakashi looked lazily at Baki, not saying anything at all.
Baki looked at Kakashi resolutely.
After taking a deep breath, he abruptly lunged forward and pierced Kakashi's body with a kunai wrapped in Wind attribute chakra, while at the same time fiercely saying, "But I.... refuse!!!"
"Even if Sunagakure faces war and destruction, we will never bow our heads to Konoha! This threat is meaningless! No matter how strong Konoha is, you will not be able to win this war easily!"
Baki's loud shout made the surrounding ninja clench their fists and grit their teeth, gradually their glares became extremely fierce.
Yes!
They are desert-born ninja!
They've been facing a hostile and violent environment since they were born, and the power of the other side won't make them back down!
"So that's your decision!"
"Then..."
Kakashi shook his head and kicked the ground, his figure instantly left the damaged Kazekage building and appeared on the nearby roof.
Seeing this, Baki exclaimed angrily and threw a kunai, "Don't even think you can escape!!!"
With Baki's shout, the surrounding ninjas, who had already decided to resist, threw a variety of shurikens and kunai in Kakashi's direction.
Kakashi was the one who had come here!
He is not only the younger brother of the Fifth Hokage, but also an important fighting unit of Konoha. Kakashi's death of the Sharingan will be a heavy blow to Konoha!
"In no case stop because all the attacks are penetrating through his body, continue to attack continuously!!! Sealing Department, prepare to seal the enemy immediately!!!"
Baki shouted loudly to the surrounding ninjas, and continued to continuously attack Kakashi.
Whoosh, whoosh!!!!
The Sunagakure ninja reacted immediately, and immediately rushed the Fuuinjutsu users.
But just at that moment.
Boom!!!
There was an explosion near Kakashi.
A few strange tentacles passed by, and instantly enveloped several nearby Sunagakure ninja and lifted them into the air.
Looking carefully at Kakashi, the surrounding ninja saw a human figure, not knowing when it appeared next to him.
Behind this figure, a large snake-like monster with a white mask with the word "Zero" was writhing.
"It seems the negotiations have failed, Kakashi."
"It can't be helped..."
Kakashi shook his head and said, " Just like us, the ninja of Sunagakure have their own will."
Baki and the rest of the Sunagakure ninja, who were about to attack Kakashi, were very surprised to see Anko appear. They couldn't help but feel a sense of dread as they felt her huge dark chakra.
But Baki gritted his teeth and still performed a series of hand seals.
"Wind Jutsu: Void Sphere!" (Fūton: Shinkūgyoku)
Boom!!!
A powerful ball of wind rushed towards Kakashi and Anko.
But they were completely calm and took no action, the Mangekyou Sharingan pattern in Kakashi's eyes began to spin and, the next moment, a human figure appeared in front of him.
Auge!
A large tail covered in plates flashed past like lightning and blocked Baki's attack with force.
Rin, enveloped in Sanbi's chakra, knelt down in front of Kakashi and coldly looked at the surrounding Sunagakure ninja and said, "That's it?"
Looking at Rin, the expressions of Baki and the other Sunagakure ninja changed.
"Another one has appeared..."
"Isn't this the Jinchuriki of the Sanbi!"
Without waiting for any movement from the Sunagakure ninja, Rin placed her hand on the ceiling and performed a series of seals with the other.
Whoosh!!!
The whole building shook, and suddenly a huge curtain of water appeared, with Kakashi, Rin and Anko in the center, and then gushed out in all directions.
This water curtain blocked all ninjutsu, shuriken and kunai, as well as blocking the view and forced some of the Sunagakure ninja to retreat.
When the water dissipated.
There were already seven figures standing on the roof.
"Since you've made the decision to resist, then..."
The Mangekyou Sharingan in Kakashi's eyes glowed with terrifying power, and a huge fluctuation of chakra gushed out of his body, causing the ceiling under his feet to be covered with a network of cracks.
A powerful chakra fluctuation shook the white captain's cape, which was visible on the back of the black number 'One'.
Whoosh!!!
Anko grinned with a hint of malice and cruelty, her white captain's cape billowing in the wind, revealing the black number 'Two'.
Uchiha Shisui drew a short sword and three identical figures appeared on either side of him, the black number 'Three' visible on their billowing white capes.
Crack!
Rin, still holding his hand on the ceiling, threw a powerful stream of Sanbi chakra, causing the ceiling under his feet to be covered with many small cracks, and a white captain's cape with the number 'Four' waved over his shoulders.
Whoosh!
Konan floated gently in the air, and a large number of small sheets of paper flew behind her and formed two white wings, a white cape with the number 'Five' fluttering lightly over her shoulders.
Kurenai, bathed in Nanabi chakra, stood on the edge of the roof, the massive chakra bringing the surrounding air currents into chaos, with a white cape with a black number 'Six' fluttering behind her.
Boom!!!
In the far corner, Guy stood on the edge of the roof, fists clenched tightly and vomited a terrifying stream of chaotic chakra, black hair bristling.
After opening the sixth door, Guy looked at the terrified Sunagakure ninjas, "The Shadow Guards of Konoha have arrived!"
Boom!!!
The fluctuations of chakra thrown by Kakashi and the other captains intertwined, which instantly made Baki and the rest of the Suna ninja feel very choked.
Numerous Sunagakure ninja felt the fear, and some even began to retreat involuntarily, with trembling hands and cold sweat on their foreheads.
Amidst the large amounts of chakra, Kakashi unhurriedly unsheathed the Kusanagi sword from its scabbard, looked at the surrounding Sunagakure ninja and said casually, "Then..."
"I declare..."
"....the beginning of the Fourth Ninja World War!"
