Before speaking, Nine Tails fell into contemplation. Didn't this old man say once that if I try to seize control of the body again, I'm a dog?
He banished the strange thought from his mind, thinking it must be because he was borrowing this brat's body, so he was infected with the bad habit of wild thoughts.
"As the Fourth Hokage said, we Tailed Beasts were created by the Sage of Six Paths, but not out of thin air, but from the Ten Tails. That guy possesses the power to destroy the world."
Ōnoki, that old geezer, is very bad: "Why are you telling us this? Just because you and your Jinchuriki have a good relationship? Don't you have any resentment towards the humans who have been using you all along?"
"To this day, there are only a handful of people I can acknowledge." Nine Tails pointed at Minato and said,
"If it weren't for this guy being willing to believe you, I wouldn't bother saying another word to you.
Also, if the Ten Tails appears, it means we Tailed Beasts are all dead. Before that, there's still a chance to rescue the captured guys. At least on this point, I'm on the same front as you."
The Earth Shadow and Raikage frowned, thinking. The credibility of these words seemed very high, but were they really going to make a decision based on the word of a Tailed Beast?
Seeing them still hesitant, Minato asked, "Mizukage, Kazekage, you are also Jinchuriki, do you think this matter is credible?"
Yagura touched the seal on his abdomen and said, "I am willing to believe it. Isobu told me these are all true, and he has never lied to me so far."
Isobu wagged his tail in the Sealing Space, obviously in a good mood.
Gaara said, "Shukaku is also willing to testify. Although this guy's personality is a bit bad and his mouth is a bit foul, based on my understanding of him, he wouldn't bother lying."
Shukaku jumped up and down in anger: "You brat! Make it clear to this great me, who has a bad personality and a foul mouth!"
"We're in a meeting, don't make a fuss."
"Damn it, I want to increase my playtime!"
"Whatever."
...
Minato nodded in satisfaction, told Naruto to go back upstairs, and then said to the Raikage, "I remember the Raikage's younger brother, Killer Bee, is also a perfect Jinchuriki. Hasn't he told you about these things?"
Hearing Minato mention his sworn brother, whose life and death were uncertain, the Raikage clenched his fists, remained silent for a while, and replied, "No, since my father passed away, Bee has been protected by me in the village. My brother and I have had much less communication than before."
Saying it was protection, it was actually more like house arrest in the Cloud-Lightning Gorge, letting him concentrate on practicing the Tailed Beast Ball, and remotely defeating any enemies. Even the Lariat, the combined technique of the ab duo, was abandoned.
This also led to the Raikage not understanding his brother enough. Today, the Raikage remembered the words Minato reminded him of when they fought:
*'A, you have a good brother. I think the next time we meet, it should be when we compete in the name of Kage.
What is most precious to your brother? You need to realize it quickly, otherwise he will no longer be a Jinchuriki, or even a human being.'*
Realizing the answer now seemed too late. Looking at Minato, who was working hard to promote cooperation among the Five Great Shinobi Villages, the Raikage suddenly felt that he might have lost, both in terms of his strength as a ninja and his responsibility as a Kage.
Then...
The Raikage's expression changed: "Okay, I can try to trust you once, so what do we do next?"
"Raikage, you..." Ōnoki didn't expect this kid's attitude to change so quickly.
"Excuse me, Earth Shadow," Gaara said, "The reason you still refuse to believe is just based on your own experience. Indeed, your experience and knowledge may be above all of us, but these have become your shackles.
Even if this matter goes against common sense, as long as it is reasonable and well-founded, it can be believed. The knowledge and experience you are so proud of may also be the result of predecessors overturning common sense time and time again. Even a young person like me can understand this principle, why are you always unwilling to admit it?"
"You really dare to say that." Ōnoki folded his arms and leaned heavily on the back of the chair, his mouth twitching but he didn't shout out.
Reasoning is one thing, reality is another. Some genius ideas, no matter how reasonable they sound, might be seen as madness at first, just like those who first believed in heliocentrism were burned at the stake.
The Raikage accepted it relatively easily because of his younger brother, the perfect Jinchuriki, but Ōnoki's relationship with the two Jinchuriki in his village wasn't great, and his understanding of them was limited to combat. It wasn't easy for him to change his thinking.
But facing the situation where the other four Kage had reached a consensus, he could only compromise for the time being and see how things developed.
"I'll trust you for now," Ōnoki said. "So, the Akatsuki's goal is to revive the Ten Tails, and then dominate or destroy the world?"
Minato shook his head and said, "No, their goal is to create a world of peace without war, but before that, they want the world to feel pain. Only then will people cherish the hard-won peace, and that pain will be the sacrifice of countless people."
What kind of divine logic is that? I killed your relatives and friends for your own good? Everyone present couldn't understand Nagato's thought process.
We yearn for peace precisely because we don't want to lose our loved ones and friends. In the end, we have to lose them first and then give peace to the remaining people. What's the use of that peace?
The Raikage slammed his fists on the table and shouted, "Are you kidding me?! Just because of this ridiculous reason, our village was turned into that?!"
Being defeated by a strong enemy is one thing, but being defeated by a guy with a hole in his brain, what's that about!
Fu, who was leaning on the railing, felt that her brain wasn't working well enough, poked Naruto's arm and asked, "Hey, Naruto, is that Nagato guy a good person or a bad person?"
Naruto rubbed his temples: "Um... with your IQ, it's hard for me to explain it to you."
"What, do you think I'm an idiot?" Fu puffed out her cheeks with dissatisfaction, hands on her hips.
Naruto said, "Let's put it this way, what he's doing is like killing everyone who doesn't let you go outside the village to play, and then telling you, if you want to marry Nar, you can marry Nar, you can do whatever you want. Do you think he's a good person?"
Fu shook her head like a rattle: "He's a bad person!"
...
After everyone digested it for a while, Minato continued, "If they can't do that, they will have another plan.
That is, through the Ten Tails, to cast the strongest Genjutsu—the Infinite Tsukuyomi, to make everyone fall into a dream, and then in the dream, everyone's wishes will be realized, in order to achieve 'peace'.
They call this plan the 'Eye of the Moon' plan."
