Chapter 639 Who Will Be The Leader?

Seeing everyone's astonishment, Kakashi continued: "The power of the seven Bijū was used by Madara to create one hundred thousand of clones through the cells of Shodaime Hokage-sama. These clones are called White Zetsu. Although their combat power is not as good as Shodaime-sama, not only they has Chunin-level strength, but they also has an extremely powerful transformation technique. It is difficult for ordinary people to distinguish them, and they are definitely not to be underestimated."

"White Zetsu?" Onoki said solemnly.

Onoki knew a lot about the Akatsuki, after all, he was an employer who had hired the Akatsuki.

Onoki didn't know about White Zetsu, but he still knew the one called Zetsu.

After all, with a venus flytrap-like head, someone who has seen him before would never forget it.

Raikage looked at Kakashi and said, "Kakashi, how do you know about these things? This should be the secret of the Akatsuki."

"In these years, Konoha's investigation about the Akatsuki has not stopped. Jiraiya-sama, one of the Legendary Sannin, has been investigating all the information about the Akatsuki. All of this is are the credit of Jiraiya-sama."

"Jiraiya? No wonder."

In truth, this information is not brought by Jiraiya, but actually the result of Itachi's investigation.

Itachi had been lurking in the Akatsuki for so long, and it was not that he didn't do anything.

Itachi still knows a bit about some preparations made by Obito.

White Zetsu is just one part of it.

As for why Kakashi didn't reveal Itachi's identity, it is because it was not the time yet.

Otherwise, Kakashi will not ask Itachi to hide his identity in Konoha.

Someone hidden in the darkness will always be useful.

"In that case, the Hachibi and Kyūbi's Jinchūriki shouldn't be hidden. Their combat power is going to be indispensable in this war," Onoki said.

"If the other party really has an army with one hundred thousand, I am afraid that it can only be so." Raikage muttered.

Gaara showed a thoughtful look, and finally agreed.

An army with one hundred thousand, this terrifying number really makes people's scalp numb.

This will be a huge war like never before.

Both parties will use their full strength.

Mei and Tsunade naturally will not object.

At this moment, the Five Kage reached a consensus.

Kakashi then continued: "Raikage-sama, there is something I need to trouble you."

Raikage was a little surprised when he heard this. He didn't expect Kakashi would ask for his help.

"Hmm? What is it?"

"Since Hachibi and Kyūbi's combat powers are needed, Naruto would need Killer B's guidance to control the Kyūbi's strength. After all, he is still too immature," Kakashi said.

Raikage snorted after hearing this and said: "Hmph, it turns out that you are playing this trick. If it is the normal times, I will definitely reject you directly. But at this time, even after knowing that you are taking advantage of it, I still have to agree."

Kakashi smiled and said: "Then thank you, Raikage-sama."

"Hmph."

Although Raikage has a bad temper, when he is calm, he looks at the overall situation and will not affect the entire situation just because of personal grievances.

This is also Raikage's strong point.

"With that said, all of the Five Kage have reached a consensus on this," Mifune said.

The Five Kage nodded after hearing this.

"Then, there is only one last question left. Who will be the leader of the Allied Shinobi Forces?"

Mifune said softly and then looked at the Five Kage.

The Five Kage showed a thoughtful look after hearing Mifune's question.

'This is a problem.'

The Five Kage looked at each other, but didn't know who to choose.

"As a neutral country, can you let me give my opinion?" Mifune saw no response from the Five Kage, so he didn't continue.

The Five Kage set their sights on Mifune after hearing this.

"Mifune-dono, please speak," Gaara said.

"Kazekage-dono is too young and has never experienced war. So I am afraid that it is difficult to convince the public if he becomes the leader."

Gaara nodded when he heard this. He also understood that he did not have the ability.

His strength may be okay, but the experience of war cannot be derived out of thin air.

Although his childhood was full of tragedy, it was not a war.

Even during the Konoha Crush Plan, he just fought against Naruto.

Being young is sometimes an advantage, but also a disadvantage sometimes.

After Mifune said that, he looked at Onoki.

"Tsuchikage-dono is the opposite. He is too old and there is some problem with his physique. I am afraid it will be difficult for him to become the leader. Moreover, Tsuchikage-dono had also hired the Akatsuki before, so he has trust issue."

Onoki smiled when he heard this, but didn't say anything.

Mifune's gaze then fell on Mei.

"Mizukage-dono also has trust issue. The Akatsuki once controlled Kirigakure so at this time, I'm afraid that it is difficult to verify how many Kirigakure's Shinobi that still belonged to the Akatsuki."

Mei nodded reluctantly because she also acknowledged this.

Although she believes that she has completely cleaned up Akatsuki's remnants of power, from this point of view, it was indeed difficult for her to gain the public's complete trust.

"Raikage-dono has enough experience, and there is also no Kumogakure's Shinobi in the Akatsuki. From this point of view, he is indeed a suitable candidate. However, Raikage-dono's temper is too bad. Once angry, I am afraid it will be difficult for him to control himself."

Raikage snorted coldly and didn't say any excuse.

Finally, Mifune's gaze fell onto Tsunade's body and then, he said: "The last is Hokage-dono. She has the powerful Medical Ninjutsu, has experienced two Shinobi World Wars, and also calm, so she is a suitable candidate."

Tsunade was a little taken aback after hearing this. She did not expect that Mifune would value herself so much.

From Mifune's analysis, Tsunade seems to be the most suitable candidate to become the leader of the Allied Shinobi Forces.

"Then, did Mifune think that Hokage-dono is the best candidate to become the leader?" Gaara said.

"No, Hokage-dono is indeed a most suitable between the Five Kage, but her personality is also flawed and too hot-headed, which may affect her judgment on the battlefield."

"Then according to you, there isn't anyone suitable to be the leader of the Allied Shinobi Forces?" Raikage said coldly.

"No, there is one more person. And I think that he is the most suitable candidate."

"Mifune-dono, are you talking about yourself?" Onoki said hatefully.

Mifune shook his head and said: "This Old Man still knows himself. Governing the Land of Iron has already made me exhausted, let alone the Allied Shinobi Forces' leader."

"Then, who are you talking about?" Onoki said.

Mifune smiled and looked at Kakashi.

"The candidate I'm talking about is Hatake Kakashi."

Everyone was shocked when they heard this. They obviously didn't expect Mifune to say Kakashi's name.

Kakashi himself was also taken aback.

"Mifune-san sure is good at joking," Kakashi said quickly.

"No, I'm not joking. When it comes to strength, you are not weaker than the Five Kage. When it comes to the reputation of the Shinobi World, you are not bad at all. In the Third Shinobi World War, although you are a still teenager, you still got some result. The most important thing is you have a cool head and can quickly analyze and process anything. Kakashi, you are the most suitable candidate."
