The Five Kage Summit Begins!

Time flew by, and half a year passed in the blink of an eye!

After six months of recovery, Kirigakure has been completely transformed and is now even more magnificent and prosperous.

The Land of Water is becoming increasingly stable, and the people have come to accept the existence of the Shogunate system.

Apart from a small number of rebellious forces that occasionally cause trouble because they do not accept the rule of the Shogunate.

The atmosphere in the Land of Water is even more peaceful and stable than during the Daimyo era, and its national strength has increased several times over.

This situation arose naturally because, in the past six months, the Land of Water had successively gained the allegiance of twelve surrounding small countries.

In addition to the six vassal states that the Land of Water already had.

The Land of Water's current strength can be said to be on par with the Land of Fire, the former big brother of the Shinobi World.

The Shinobi World has now clearly formed a situation of one superpower, one hegemon, and three strong forces.

One Superpower: The Land of Fire and Konoha!

One dominant force: Kirigakure and the Land of Water!

The Three Powers: the Land of Earth, the Land of Wind, and the Land of Lightning!

It is worth mentioning that Kirigakure has vigorously developed the medical and education industries in the past six months.

And recruit talents of all types from outside.

In just six months, the medical technology of Kirigakure has been greatly improved.

The educational capacity of the Ninja Academy has also been significantly improved, and the basic qualities of ninjas have been significantly enhanced.

The ninja team also grew rapidly after fully absorbing various talents.

It's almost back to the level it was during Yagura's tenure.

Under the leadership of the Shogunate, the Land of Water also carried out reforms in its management system, talent selection, suppression of rebellions, and verification of officials.

Based on this, a reasonable market order and people's livelihood system were established, malpractices were eliminated, and social conflicts were eased.

This has led to a significant improvement in economic level, military capabilities, and political management efficiency.

The strength of the Land of Water provided a powerful guarantee for the development and growth of Kirigakure.

At that moment, somewhere in the Kirigakure's Anbu, a young man dressed in black opened his eyes.

The moment he opened his eyes, a powerful aura swept over him, causing the surrounding Anbu to groan involuntarily, feeling as if they were suffocating.

The air around this young man seemed to distort.

"It's time for the Five Kage Summit!"

The young man murmured to himself, then stood up and walked out of the Anbu. The surrounding Anbu greeted him respectfully and fervently, "Ye Liangnai!"

Needless to say, this young man is none other than Ye Liangnai!

For half a year, both the Land of Water and the Kirigakure were in a state of disrepair and in need of reconstruction.

Therefore, Ye Liangnai is extremely busy and basically has no time to train to become stronger.

Therefore, in half a year, he only managed to accumulate 500,000 Enhancement Points, which he used to enhance the last attribute: Strength, and his strength officially reached the peak of the Kage Level.

Ye Liangnai now feels powerful enough to Teuchi a Tailed Beast with her bare hands.

This wasn't his delusion; he might actually possess that power.

He felt that his current strength was not much less than that of Tsunade at her peak.

"Xiao Ye, you're out of seclusion? Let's go then, the Five Kage Summit awaits us!"

When Ye Liangnai arrived at the Mizukage Building, Mei Terumi Ye Liangnai with an expression that said, "I've been waiting for you."

"Let's go then! I can't wait to see how exciting this Five Kage Summit will be!"

Ye Liangnai had her hands tucked into her sleeves, her face full of longing, bathed in the bright sunlight.

"Wonderful? Perhaps!"

Mei Terumi neither confirmed nor denied this, and then she embarked on her journey with Ye Liangnai and Byakugan.

This year's Five Kage Summit is being held in the Land of Waves, an opportunity they earned themselves.

Because the Land of Waves was the first country to join the alliance of the Land of Water's subordinate states, it was quite pragmatic.

Hama Goro was so apprehensive that he personally went to apologize.

They said they had no choice but to not join the battle against Konoha, and hoped that Kirigakure could forgive their lack of foresight.

Because he really didn't expect that Ye Liangnai would actually defeat Konoha's 12,000 elite soldiers with only 2,000 remnants.

Of course, Ye Liangnai knew perfectly well what Hama Goro was really planning.

However, he did not intend to expose Hama Goro, for as the saying goes, one cannot hit a smiling face.

But in private, he certainly wouldn't show any mercy to this opportunist.

Since they were the first to join, Ye Liangnai set the strictest rules for them, euphemistically called 'setting an example'!

Even though Hama Goro knew that Ye Liangnai did this on purpose, he could only suffer in silence and dared not complain.

Who can blame them when Ye Liangnai is at the height of her power and wields immense authority?

To say I don't regret it would be a lie.

Perhaps if I had firmly followed Ye Liangnai back then, the situation would have been completely different.

Unfortunately, there's no going back in life.

"Welcome, Mizukage -sama, Daimyo-sama! Please follow us!"

They arrived in the Land of Waves at dusk, becoming the fourth ninja village to reach the country.

All that's left Kumogakure!

"Mizukage is quite arrogant, making us wait for so long."

"You were the one who initiated this, yet you didn't set an example by being the first to arrive. That's incredibly disrespectful of the rules!"

Following the ninjas from the Land of Waves to the place where the Five Kage Summit, they had barely sat down when the Third Tsuchikage, Ōnoki, made a sarcastic remark with dissatisfaction.

"Hehehe, I'm really sorry, I have too many things to do, unlike the Tsuchikage who can just laze around!"

"Daimyo of the Land of Earth, I think you need to investigate Sunagakure thoroughly."

"As the Kage of a major ninja village, having so much free time is not a good thing!"

"Considering his age, perhaps it's time to find someone else!"

When it comes to roasting people, Mei Terumi does have some skill.

"Hmph, this is our internal matter, so there's no need for Lord Mizukage to concern himself with it!"

The Daimyo of the Land of Earth waved his fan and snorted coldly.

If it were before, he might have thought about it Mei Terumi's words.

But now that Ye Liangnai has disrupted the order they established, it's better for him to stand on the same side as Ōnoki.

If you anger Ōnoki, he might just stage a scene of 'insubordination' with him, which would make you a laughingstock.

"It's rare to see such harmony between you esteemed figures and your respective country's shadows. I think you should all thank me!"

"Otherwise, you wouldn't see how kind and approachable all the daimyo are!"

Ye Liangnai stood behind Mei Terumi, glanced at everyone, and grinned teasingly.

His words caused everyone present, except for Mei Terumi, to look rather grim.

Why bring up something you shouldn't talk about? Nobody's going to feel good about this!

The ironclad order established by the Five Great Ninja Villages and the Five Great Nations was ultimately broken by a thirteen-year-old brat.

The crucial point is that they all lost to this brat, which is a huge disgrace for everyone except Mei Terumi.

"Ye! Liang! Nai!!"

Just then, a wild roar came, followed by the cries of alarm and attempts to stop the ninjas from the Land of Waves.

Everyone looked over and saw a Fierce Shadow crashing towards Ye Liangnai.

"Careful!"

Upon seeing this, Mei Terumi couldn't help but exclaim in shock.
