Everyone present was a shrewd individual, unwilling to act without seeing clear benefits.
Even if they already understood Tomoki's intentions and knew what needed to be done, their hearts were still filled with anticipation.
Yet, they quietly watched Tomoki's performance, not rushing to show their stance.
Tomoki, of course, knew that such words would certainly be fine for misleading Nagato, but trying to fool those present was somewhat unrealistic.
Immediately, Tomoki waved his hand again. The more than ten people from before re-entered the conference room and distributed the documents they held to everyone present.
"Gentlemen, please take a look. Whether you agree or not, we can discuss it later."
Everyone followed suit and opened the documents on their desks. Compared to the previous document, which was purely a 'pie in the sky' proposal, this one was full of substance, yet it also appeared exceptionally elaborate.
The document was broadly divided into three parts.
The first part was an introduction to the Shinobi Alliance, abbreviated as Shinobi Alliance.
Ninja villages could apply to join as units, and all Ninja villages present could join if they applied.
If a member felt unsuited after joining the Shinobi Alliance, they could choose to withdraw on their own, as long as their application was submitted and approved.
After joining the Shinobi Alliance, each Ninja village would still maintain its independence. Everything between each Ninja village and its nobles would remain as usual, and the Shinobi Alliance would not interfere. The daily management and missions of the Ninja villages would also be decided by the members themselves.
There was only one restriction: no form of war was allowed between Shinobi Alliance members.
Otherwise, the member initiating the war would automatically withdraw from the Shinobi Alliance, and the remaining members could freely choose whether to dispatch Ninja troops to attack them.
After reading the first part, everyone frowned. War was something that happened naturally, and even they, as Kage and leaders, had no power to stop it.
Ninja were not obedient children; if you dared to stop them, they would dare to replace their Kage or leader.
Everyone muttered to themselves that only someone out of their mind would join something like the Shinobi Alliance. There were no benefits to joining, only more restrictions.
Although they could withdraw at that time, why bother with the extra trouble?
The second part described the rescue operation targeting the Land of Earth and Iwagakure, which could only be carried out in the name of the Shinobi Alliance.
This meant that only Shinobi Alliance members could participate; otherwise, it would be considered an act of war and would be subject to sanctions from the Shinobi Alliance, including military sanctions.
After completely rescuing the Land of Earth and Iwagakure, the Shinobi Alliance would evaluate the contributions of each member and exchange them for corresponding rewards.
Rewards included, but were not limited to, Iwagakure's heritage, Land of Earth's land, and mineral resources...
Seeing this, everyone understood. This organization, the Shinobi Alliance, was probably specially designed for this operation.
Thinking about it this way, they had indeed been too hasty before.
The Shinobi Alliance could still be joined. It wouldn't be too late to withdraw after the matters of the Land of Earth and Iwagakure were concluded and the rewards were received.
Tomoki quietly watched the individuals with their flickering gazes, knowing exactly what they were thinking deep down.
Although the general meaning of the document's content was similar to what was described before, the writing style deliberately adopted the verbose style favored by nobles.
Many crucial pieces of information were hidden within those seemingly useless phrases.
Aside from the main framework, many things required their own interpretation, just like the Second Hokage's document regarding the Military Police Force back then.
Of course, not everyone present lacked foresight.
After reading the first part of the content, Mei Terumī didn't understand why Tomoki would create such an unconventional organization.
What was the point of this? Playing house?
Mei Terumī, who deeply understood Tomoki's difficult nature, couldn't help but think more deeply, and at the same time, she carefully reread the previous content.
After a long while, Mei Terumī looked at Tomoki, who had a faint smile, with a look of horror in her eyes.
Tomoki saw Mei Terumī's gaze and his smile brightened a little, as he nodded slightly in acknowledgement.
Smart people, huh? I wonder how many more there are?
The Land of Earth was indeed a juicy piece of meat. Ninja who used to eat dirt all the time would indeed be satisfied after tasting meat.
But after eating meat once, wouldn't they want to eat it a second time?
At that time, Tomoki wouldn't need to do anything at all; the guys who wanted to eat meat again would arrange everything clearly!
Joined, and still want to quit?
Impossible!
Some individuals would even be eager for those who couldn't see the situation clearly to withdraw.
Every member who withdrew, in their eyes, was a walking piece of fat!
Tomoki wouldn't explicitly state these things; at the right time, those who should understand would naturally understand, and those who couldn't see the situation clearly...
They would simply become the sacrifices for the Shinobi Alliance's second confirmation of authority.
The latter part of the document contained the battle plan formulated based on the Land of Earth and Iwagakure.
The number of Ninja required, the corresponding logistical support, the treatment and privileges given to participating Ninja...
These were things that Ninja villages that had survived multiple Ninja World Wars were naturally very familiar with.
Rasa also did not rush through the reading; instead, he carefully read every word of the content.
From this, it could be inferred that Rasa had probably suffered many losses when dealing with the nobles of the Land of Wind.
After repeatedly pondering it, Rasa looked at Tomoki with horror in his eyes.
It wasn't because he saw through the meaning of the Shinobi Alliance, but because something so complete could not possibly have been put together in just one night.
Were the actions of the Land of Earth and Iwagakure yesterday truly voluntary?
Rasa's vigilance towards Tomoki and Konoha reached a new high.
