Nice to Meet You, Small Fry Who Call Yourselves the "Five Kage"

"Then let's keep it in Konoha."

Seeing Raikage's posture, Kitsuchi spoke directly.

Although they have a grudge against Konoha, their feelings towards Kumogakure are not much different.

Rather than letting Kumogakure gain an advantage, it's better to keep it in Konoha's hands.

Even if Konoha does something bad, the other countries won't agree.

Upon hearing this, Raikage A's gaze returned to the Kitsuchi.

This guy...

Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't say anything, but took out his pipe and started working on it himself.

Dogs fighting, a mouthful of fur everywhere.

Gaara then focused his gaze on Hagoromo, who, upon noticing this, simply smiled and nodded, while also Hagoromo.

Um?

Gaara was taken aback, then glanced at the glass bottle out of the corner of his eye.

Is this a scam?

No, the fact that Konoha dared to bring it out proves that it's genuine.

At most... it's just that this thing isn't the original.

Thinking of this, Gaara's lips curled into a smile, and he immediately closed his eyes.

Seeing Gaara like this, Hagoromo inwardly gave him a thumbs up; this kid was even more energetic than Naruto.

"Tsuchikage, don't go too far!"

Raikage A slammed his fist on the table and shouted at Kitsuchi Tu. He had just stated his conditions, but the guy ignored him.

"Too much?"

"Raikage, you should know better than I how powerful the Rinnegan truly is."

Kitsuchi slightly lifted his eyelids.

"Mifune, let's put this somewhere else for now."

Hiruzen Sarutobi slowly exhaled a puff of smoke. He knew that Mifune wouldn't dare to put himself in danger, so he made the suggestion.

Hagoromo said that once you take it out at the event, you should try not to keep it near you.

Raikage and Kitsuchi were both taken aback and looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Their words just now seemed almost theatrical, as if they wanted to see what Hiruzen Sarutobi up to.

Now, should we simply set aside the Mifune of the neutral country?

Konoha doesn't want the Rinnegan?

The Raikage, having this thought, first focused his gaze on the Hagoromo behind Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Even if you have a talented student, would you really push this away?

Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke up at the opportune moment, "I've said it from the beginning, Konoha has no interest in the Rinnegan."

"We can even provide the information to you if you wish."

Mifune remained silent. Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke for the second time, realizing that if he didn't act soon, he would really be disrespecting them.

"I propose that each shadow cast a member as a guard to oversee the area, what do you think?"

Gaara opened his eyes and saw Hagoromo to go up beside him.

"Baki Jonin, you should go too."

As he spoke, he made a gesture with his outstretched hand, startling Baki, who was about to act, and he immediately composed himself.

Mei Terumi waved her hand, and Ao behind her turned and walked away.

After the attendants of Mifune picked up the Rinnegan, several shadow guards took turns standing guard around a stone platform.

Upon seeing this Hiruzen Sarutobi sat up straight again. "Everyone, I can now clearly state that it is 'Madara Uchiha'."

"It does exist."

"However, all the signs indicate that it is him, yet it is not him."

"What do you mean?" Raikage A frowned, not quite understanding what he meant.

The other figures also turned to look at Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"What I mean is, Madara Uchiha was indeed alive twenty years ago, but the person claiming to be Madara Uchiha now is probably someone he chose back then."

"As for the specific purpose, I'm not clear about it either."

Statements that are half-true and half-false are the result of discussion.

Shikaku also suggested that Hiruzen Sarutobi could do this.

By acknowledging Madara Uchiha and simultaneously claiming his death, Konoha could assert that whoever Madara chose was none of their concern.

In short.

Your countries can use Madara Uchiha to infiltrate Konoha, but Madara Uchiha is dead, so who will inherit his name?

You can just go find whoever you want.

Sure enough, Raikage A was the first to lose his temper and was about to get up and question him.

Darui behind him shook his head.

"Hokage, may I ask who this person is, and what kind of person they are?"

Gaara opened his eyes and asked.

He had a feeling he had to ask that question.

Praise.

Hagoromo secretly praised Gaara good.

"This person caused the Nine-Tails' Attack on Konoha eleven years ago, resulting in the deaths of Konoha Fourth Hokage and his wife, along with a host of other ninja."

After speaking, Hiruzen Sarutobi closed his eyes.

This gesture made it seem like they were mourning Minato Namikaze.

"What?"

Mei Terumi couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

The Fourth Hokage, a man in his early twenties, overwhelmed all the nations of the Shinobi World, making all the geniuses of that era pale in comparison.

Was this person killed by this guy who called himself Madara Uchiha?

Raikage A frowned. Even if he were reckless, he wouldn't dare to question things at this moment.

No one present would make a fuss about the death of a shadow.

Even though the Land of Wind did indeed launch a war back then because the Third Kazekage disappeared without a trace.

It did indeed appear during the battle in Konoha, but in the form of a puppet.

It's similar to the Fourth Kazekage.

"Therefore, we of Konoha are also sincerely seeking cooperation this time. Everyone, this person has been secretly sowing discord throughout the Shinobi World for over a decade."

"Our Konoha has also suffered because of this; now is the time for everyone to unite."

"Therefore, everyone here must think this through carefully. If we continue to let things continue like this, who knows what he might do next?"

Upon hearing this, everyone frowned.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was right; he was a man hiding in the shadows, stirring up trouble everywhere.

The Kirigakure, the Sunagakure, and the Konoha Village were all affected as a result.

The Jinchūriki of Kumogakure and Iwagakure were also captured by the Akatsuki.

It's easy to dodge a spear in the open, but hard to guard against an arrow in the dark.

A bedbug in a ditch, if it keeps causing trouble...

No, they're already causing trouble. Thinking about all the strange things that's happened in my family lately...

At that moment, everyone's expression turned grim.

"Asshole!"

The Raikage slammed his fist on the table. "That bug-like bastard!"

"Hehe--"

The sudden sound startled everyone, and the Raikage instinctively looked towards the place where the Rinnegan was kept.

A figure wearing a vortex-shaped mask appeared, and the guards Qing Kazuma were knocked to the ground.

The shadow guards of Iwagakure and Hijiri also missed their target in the next attack.

"Damn it, put it down!"

Shisui shouted loudly and appeared behind the Masked Man in the next instant.

Swish--

The blade missed completely with a single strike.

His figure had already appeared in the center of the table in front of the Five Kage, his gaze sweeping over everyone in turn before finally settling on Hagoromo.

"Nice to meet you, you so-called 'Five Kage' nobodies. My name is -- Madara Uchiha."
