Chapter 113: Declaration of War
After kicking Fourth Raikage away, Naruto withdrew his leg and looked down at the crowd indifferently.
At that moment, Third Tsuchikage and the others also reacted, their eyes full of astonishment.
Near the Cloud guard, the blonde beauty Samui gasped and hurriedly shouted with concern:
"Lord Raikage!"
Then she rushed to where Fourth Raikage had landed to check his injuries.
Third Tsuchikage Onoki narrowed his eyes, frowned, let out a breath, and fixed his sharp gaze on Naruto, speaking with authority:
"Uzumaki Naruto, you dare attack the Fourth Raikage? Are you trying to offend the majesty of the five great nations?"
Hearing this, Naruto sneered, looked at Onoki, and said without hesitation:
"Why wouldn't I dare?"
"Since you want to attack me, I can't fight back? That's ridiculous."
"As for the majesty of the five great powers... heh. If you insist on being my enemy, then go ahead and try."
Naruto's words made no secret of his disdain and warning toward the five great powers.
He was never afraid of the five great nations, let alone the status Onoki was talking about.
Anyone who stood against him, he would never let go.
Hearing Naruto dismiss the five Kage so completely, Onoki frowned.
Before Onoki could speak again, Danzo on the side fanned the flames, wanting to provoke the five great powers into attacking Naruto together. He shouted darkly:
"This Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is treacherous and has attacked the Fourth Raikage. I say he is already a scourge upon the ninja world. An enemy of all ninja. Why don't we take him down now before he causes more trouble?"
Danzo had barely finished speaking before anyone could respond.
Naruto suddenly turned and set his cold eyes on Danzo.
Those indifferent eyes were filled with intense killing intent.
The next moment, Naruto disappeared.
Then he appeared right in front of Danzo.
Danzo froze. Before he could react, Naruto suddenly raised his hand, fingers spread wide, and slapped Danzo's cheek hard.
SMACK!
An incredibly loud slap echoed through the room.
The sharp sound rang throughout the meeting hall.
Everyone's eyes went wide as they stared at the scene before them in disbelief.
Naruto's open palm had connected with Danzo's face.
Danzo's brain buzzed from the force. His body spun around several times from the power of Naruto's strike.
Danzo looked at Naruto in a daze, his eyes blank.
He never expected that Naruto, who had already offended everyone, would dare attack him at this moment.
And so suddenly. A slap to the face. The sound of it.
This was a massive humiliation.
Danzo had lost face in front of everyone.
He was the dignified elder of Konoha, and Hokage, the representative of Konoha. And he had just been slapped by Konoha's rogue ninja, Uzumaki Naruto.
Danzo glared at Naruto with hatred, a bright red handprint on his face. The anger in his eyes seemed ready to explode as he growled:
"You—"
But before Danzo could finish, Naruto gave him a cold look and shouted:
"Old man, shut up. If I didn't ask you to speak, keep your mouth shut. If you dare say one more word, I'll slap you again. And when I come for you later, I'll kill you first."
Endless, cold killing intent appeared in Naruto's eyes.
Hearing Naruto's words, Danzo flinched, took a few steps back, and closed his mouth. He didn't dare to breathe.
He was afraid Naruto would leave another bright red mark on his other cheek.
Everyone was shocked. They looked at Danzo in disbelief.
Seeing the red handprint on Danzo's face, they felt both amused and stunned.
They never expected Naruto would actually attack Danzo in front of the five Kage, challenging the authority of the five great nations.
And Naruto's speed was terrifying.
No one could react. Danzo got slapped before he even knew what happened.
That slap wasn't just for Danzo.
It was a slap to everyone.
It seemed to say that whoever dared say anything more about Naruto would get the next slap.
Suddenly, everyone fell silent.
Seeing the room quiet down, Naruto's gaze swept around and landed on everyone.
Then Naruto looked at them coldly and said:
"I don't care about your five great countries or your five great ninja villages. Anyone who stands against me, Uzumaki Naruto, I will not let go."
"I destroyed Konoha. I can destroy the five great ninja villages too."
His cold words gradually echoed through the meeting hall.
After hearing this, everyone froze in place. Their faces were full of shock. Their hearts were filled with terror.
They never expected Naruto wasn't afraid of the five great nations. Wasn't afraid of the five great ninja villages.
He would openly threaten them like this.
He would stand so strongly against them.
The original Five Kage Summit had now become Naruto's stage to make announcements.
The Kage looked at Naruto in dumbfounded shock.
They hadn't expected Naruto to be so powerful.
The one who called the Five Kage Summit had already been slapped by Naruto, and now he had become a stepping stone for Naruto to establish his authority.
Everyone looked at each other, seeing the shock in each other's eyes.
Then Onoki snorted coldly, stared at Naruto with anger, and shouted:
"What a Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. Daring to threaten the five great ninja villages like this. This is outright treason. The ninja world is not a place for you to act so arrogantly."
Onoki, as the Tsuchikage, could not stand Naruto's threats.
In his eyes, Naruto was just a Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. A tool of the ninja villages.
How could he stand against the five great powers?
Fourth Raikage also crawled out of the broken stone wall. Humiliated by Naruto's kick, he roared angrily:
"You bastard! I'll cripple you myself!"
Danzo's eyes were also extremely dark as he stared fiercely at Naruto, wishing he could attack him right then.
Hearing everyone's shouts, Naruto shook his head and exhaled.
Then he opened his eyes. His cold gaze swept across the crowd. His blue eyes were cold and firm, with a hint of madness emerging. He spoke slowly:
"If that's how it is, then there's no need for the four great ninja villages to continue existing."
"Right now, I declare. I, Uzumaki Naruto, will destroy your four great ninja villages."
"I will destroy the ninja world."
