Chapter 647: The ‘Sanctuary Plan’
Minato, Mei, and Tsunade discuss their next series of actions with the Kages and commanders. Even Hashirama and other Edo Kages are part of the meeting.
"The Fourth Shinobi War caused a significant loss to the shinobi population and our resources. Almost two-thirds of the current shinobi population perished in this battle and, except for the few people on the island, the fate of the rest of the shinobis is also unknown." Shikaku sighs and relays the intel he had gathered before escaping the Allied Shinobi Force Headquarters.
Similar to other locations, the Allied Shinobi Force HQ also had a teleportation formation to escape to a Redaku ship. Given that the shinobis in the HQ are the top strategists and intellectuals of the shinobi world, their safety was of utmost priority.
"We will first recoup with the remaining lost shinobis and then make further plans for development. With the upcoming threat in the future, all shinobis need to be reunited." Sakumo remarks.
Minato also recounts his experience of the 'Sanctuary' to the rest of the group. Izuna had already discussed this matter while they were returning to the Shinobi world.
"I didn't expect the world to be so vast!" Onoki sighs and shakes his head.
"I am too old for this!" His back cracks again from the shock, and he gasps in pain. Akatsuchi hurriedly supports him.
"Maybe it's time to step down as the Tsuchikage and let the new generation take charge," Kurotsuchi remarks, earning a glare from Onoki.
"Over my dead body! I can't hand over Iwagakure to a bunch of useless people."
