At this moment, two teams had already arrived.
They were the Third Mizukage and the Second Kazekage Shamon, along with several guards behind them.
"Kazekage, how do you view the matter of Uchiha Madara?"
The Third Mizukage had always been full of doubts. He felt this was a conspiracy by Konoha.
The Second Kazekage Shamon did not think so.
"I don't think Konoha would joke about something like this. We'll wait until the Hokage comes."
Since it had been confirmed that the God of Shinobi, Senju Hashirama, had not died, then Uchiha Madara, the Ghost of the Uchiha, being alive as well was perfectly normal, wasn't it?
And the "Eye of the Moon" plan didn't seem like a fabrication.
"You're here so early?"
The Second Raikage arrived with several Kumogakure guards and greeted the two.
The Third Mizukage snorted coldly and ignored the Raikage.
This brute was the one who caused Kirigakure to lose more than ten billion.
Truly, cooperating with idiots was the stupidest decision.
"Mizukage, what's that supposed to mean?!" The Second Raikage's face darkened.
It seemed the lesson back then hadn't been enough—this guy still hadn't learned.
The Kazekage understood the tensions between the Water, Earth, and Lightning countries fairly well.
This time, he chose not to mediate. Instead, he led his guards away from them.
He was more than happy to see the two fall out and start fighting.
It would be best if a war broke out on the spot.
Then the Land of Wind could reap all the benefits.
Unfortunately, the Mizukage and Raikage did not start fighting—they just kept quarreling endlessly.
The Second Kazekage Shamon felt a little disappointed at the sight.
Very soon, the Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki also arrived.
As the saying goes, "Enemies meeting ignite instant fury"—the three immediately fell into an argument.
No one knew exactly what had happened after the three Kage left Konoha.
The Second Kazekage Shamon continued standing in the corner eating melon seeds metaphorically.
"Renya, why are they fighting again?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked helplessly at the three who were quarreling in the distance.
The three had been arguing nonstop even when they were in Konoha.
He didn't expect that after all this time, they were still the same.
"I don't know. Maybe the losers felt bitter but couldn't do anything about me, so all they can do is complain to each other."
Renya's voice wasn't loud, but it clearly entered the ears of the three.
Shimura Danzō: "…"
This Renya… really knew how to cause him trouble!
He would really have the three Kage unite against them.
And now they didn't have many people with them.
"Poison Master, do you really think we can't do anything to you?"
The Third Mizukage suppressed the anger in his heart.
This guy clearly wasn't putting them in his eyes at all, was he?
"You can try." Renya's gaze was calm as he looked straight at the gloomy-eyed Mizukage.
"If you still plan on providing Konoha with funds for free, that is."
Upon hearing this, the Third Mizukage fell silent.
The Tsuchikage and Raikage looked furious, but they had no intention of making a move.
Seeing there would be no fight, the Second Kazekage Shamon stepped out to mediate.
"Alright, alright, everyone's had a tough time…"
"We're here to discuss how to deal with Uchiha Madara, not to escalate conflict."
Shamon's words clearly provided them a way out.
"Everyone, I called you here to discuss forming a united force to oppose Uchiha Madara. I hope you can temporarily set aside past grievances."
Shimura Danzō spoke at the right moment.
"Hokage, you say Uchiha Madara isn't dead—are you sure the information is correct?"
Tsuchikage Ōnoki frowned.
In his memory, Uchiha Madara had long been killed by Senju Hashirama.
He had even been delighted about it for a very long time.
And now they told him Uchiha Madara wasn't dead?
Who would believe that?
"The information is real. The First Hokage said it personally." Shimura Danzō spoke seriously. "I believe all of you have already heard through various channels that the First Hokage is still alive."
The four Kage remained silent—what the Hokage said was true.
They had long confirmed Hashirama was still alive.
Konoha had no reason to deceive them in such a meaningless way.
"Since the God of Shinobi is still alive, why not let him stop Uchiha Madara?"
The Second Kazekage voiced his doubt.
The other Kage immediately reacted.
Right!
Back then, only Senju Hashirama could suppress Uchiha Madara.
So why not simply have Hashirama stop him now?
Why go through the trouble of forming an alliance?
Shimura Danzō glanced deeply at the Kazekage and explained:
"During his battle with Uchiha Madara, the First Hokage sustained hidden injuries. His strength is far from what it used to be."
The four Kage's eyes flickered.
So that was it!
The God of Shinobi was no longer the same.
But Uchiha Madara was still Uchiha Madara.
Thinking of this, their expressions grew heavier.
No wonder Konoha wanted to unite them.
It seemed that now, in the entire shinobi world, there was no one who could stop Uchiha Madara.
Only by uniting the Five Great Shinobi Villages could they have a chance.
"I hope everyone can join forces and stop the 'Eye of the Moon' plan together."
Shimura Danzō stated the purpose of the summit.
Naturally, the Kage had no reason to refuse.
After all, Madara's plan was not aimed at one or two villages—it targeted everyone in the shinobi world.
If the "Eye of the Moon" plan succeeded, no one would be spared.
Thus, the Ninja Allied Forces against Uchiha Madara were successfully formed.
Renya felt nothing about it.
At the moment, Madara truly could fight the five major nations alone.
But since Renya had already tipped him off, he must have gone into hiding.
Right now, he was probably hiding in some remote corner.
If it were any other time, Uchiha Madara would never have retreated.
But for the sake of the "Eye of the Moon" plan, a temporary retreat was reasonable.
Even if the Allied Forces were formed, if Madara hid like in the original story…
They would be helpless.
He would wait until awakening the Rinnegan, then find some unlucky person to revive himself.
Renya couldn't help feeling a little regretful.
He wondered whether Madara would come find him later.
If not, he would lose out on a pair of Rinnegan eyes.
But he believed Madara would not abandon him.
After all, he was the only junior Madara acknowledged and who had joined the "Eye of the Moon" plan.
In the original story, Uchiha Obito was merely Madara's pawn.
But Renya was different—he was Madara's trusted confidant.
There was no comparison.
Which meant Renya still had a very high chance of inheriting Madara's legacy.
Not long after the Allied Forces were formed, they discovered that Uchiha Madara had vanished without a trace.
They did not give up and began searching for him throughout the shinobi world.
But the shinobi world was vast—finding him would be a miracle.
After a year of searching, the five Kage ultimately gave up.
During this time, Renya tried summoning Fat Cat to ask about Madara's location.
But the loyal Fat Cat refused to tell him anything.
It only said that it needed Madara's permission.
Renya felt helpless.
It seemed Madara didn't want this loyal confidant anymore.
All because Hashirama accidentally exposed his identity!
Now he couldn't find Madara at all.
