Chapter 408 A Choice of Fate (Third Update)

"Danzo!"

Upon hearing Nagato's words, Jiraiya couldn't help but turn around and glare at Danzo.

It turns out that the whole thing started with Danzo.

This decisive battle concerns the entire ninja world. Apart from some old, weak, sick, and disabled people who have truly lost their strength, Li Chuan has brought out all the ninjas.

This includes Danzo and all his Root members.

"As expected of Konoha's Root, they are truly known for their ruthless methods."

The other ninjas also looked at Danzo, and the straightforward Raikage even made a few sarcastic remarks.

"The village's interests come first. I'm doing this for the village's sake. When you were stealing my attention back then, were you any better than me?"

Danzo was no pushover; he silenced the Raikage with a single sentence.

Although he wanted those eyes back then to strengthen himself and seize the Hokage position, as long as he said it was for the benefit of the village, no one could say anything against him.

This is his best excuse.

"Alright, let's talk about these things after the war is over."

Li Chuan raised his hand, then flew up and landed opposite Nagato.

"What do you want to talk about?"

"Fifth Hokage, to tell you the truth, those things below are called White Zetsu. They are not real people, but they have transformation techniques that you cannot recognize."

However, their weakness is also very simple: their individual strength is not strong.

If a war breaks out, your coalition will definitely win, but at least 80% of your forces will die.

Don't expect to save them all by yourself. You are indeed strong, but I have the Ten-Tails of the Sage of Six Paths. It's hard to say who will win between us.

Nagato explained calmly.

Li Chuan nodded upon hearing this:

"You're right, but this concerns the fate of the entire ninja world. Unless you stop the war, even if only one of us is left, we will stop you."

"I understand, so I have a suggestion."

With a wave of his hand, Nagato caused large trees to sprout from behind the White Zetsu army. Instead of fruit, these trees were adorned with ninjas bearing the insignia of their respective village leaders.

In the very front row, you can clearly see the Third Tsuchikage of Iwagakure, Onoki, Onoki's son, Kotsuchi, and his granddaughter, Kurotsuchi.

There are also Gaara of the Sand Village, Granny Chiyo, and other high-ranking officials from the various villages that were breached by the Rain Village, as well as Naruto, Killer Bee, and Yugito who went missing this morning.

They were clearly still alive, with their eyes open, able to see the duel and hear the conversation between the two, but their bodies were restricted by some kind of ninjutsu and they could not move.

"Your allied forces, my White Zetsu army, and the Akatsuki members will not move. I will fight you one-on-one."

"What if I disagree?"

Li Chuan raised an eyebrow and asked.

Nagato's tone remained calm:

"If you disagree, then all the ninjas from the villages I captured will be killed before the war even begins, and even if your allied forces win, I estimate how many will still be left."

My plan to make the world feel pain has been completed.

If you agree, you win. With your strength, dealing with these White Zetsu and Akatsuki members will be no problem. Your Konoha will be the biggest winner in this war.

"You lost. With my strength, dealing with your coalition is no problem. I led all the members of Akatsuki to complete my plan, and there will be no more wars."

"Wait a moment, I need some time to think about it."

After listening, Li Chuan flew back to the Third Hokage, Jiraiya, the Raikage, the Mizukage, and others, and asked:

What do you think?

"Fifth Generation, are you confident you can defeat Nagato?"

The third generation was the first to speak and ask the question.

Everyone else looked at Li Chuan. If Li Chuan was confident of winning, he would definitely agree to Nagato's proposal.

Li Chuan feigned hesitation for a moment, then shook his head:

"To be honest, I'm not sure either. My intuition tells me that Nagato is much stronger now than he was during the last attack on Konoha."

"If that's the case, then we can't agree to it."

At this moment, Danzo also came over:

"If we start a war now, just as Nagato said, the allied forces may lose 80 percent of their ninjas, but the remaining 20 percent will definitely be the strongest ninjas from the three villages."

Nagato must have known that a fight with you wouldn't be decided in a short time, and he was worried that the remaining 20% ​​would help you defeat him, which is why he made this suggestion.

We mustn't fall into their trap!

He didn't care about the lives of the people from other villages who had been captured by the Rain Ninja, nor was he afraid of sacrificing 80 percent of the Allied Forces' ninjas.

Those people are dead, so be it. In the end, as long as Li Chuan can kill Nagato, or better yet, kill them both, he will have a better chance of realizing his ambitions.

In any case, the Zetsu cannot let Nagato win. If Nagato wins, not to mention the others, he will surely die.

"You're talking nonsense. If you don't agree, Killer Bee and Yugito will be killed immediately, and your Nine-Tails Jinchuriki brat will be killed too."

Upon hearing Danzo's words, the Raikage's body crackled with lightning, clearly indicating that he was also quite enraged.

Qibira was his last remaining relative; how could he watch Qibira die before his eyes?

Mizukage Mei Terumi clearly disagreed with Danzo's words. Given the current strength of the Kirigakure, there might only be a dozen or so Kirigakure ninja left in the last 20 percent, which would mean the end of Kirigakure.

"Fifth Generation, if you're unsure, let's go with Danzo's suggestion."

It's rare that the Third Hokage acknowledged Danzo's words.

Even if he couldn't bear to see so many people die, Danzo was right in the grand scheme of things, because this would maximize his chances of winning in the end.

Moreover, based on strength, Konoha will definitely have the most surviving ninjas. As long as Li Chuan wins, with Li Chuan around, they can slowly develop and become the most prosperous ninja village again after hundreds of years.

Jiraiya, standing to the side, remained silent. Given his personality, he couldn't be as ruthless as the Third Hokage and Danzo, but rationally he knew that the Third Hokage and Danzo's decision had the greatest chance of winning.

Therefore, he remained silent and let Li Chuan make the decision.

At this moment, Li Chuan glanced at the increasingly tense atmosphere among the crowd, knowing the time was about right, and raised his hand to press:

"Stop arguing, or the decisive battle won't even begin and our own people will start fighting, which will play right into the enemy's hands."

As soon as he finished speaking, the argument between the Third Hokage, Danzo, the Raikage, and the Mizukage stopped, and they all looked at Li Chuan.

Indeed, what they say is useless; the final decision rests with Li Chuan, and it depends on what Li Chuan thinks.

Li Chuan closed his eyes, pretending to hesitate and think, before slowly opening them:

"I've decided to agree to Nagato's proposal!"

The words Nagato said were originally what he had instructed Nagato to say, so how could he possibly disagree?
