Five Kage Summit

The Five Kage Summit.

Admiral Mifune of the Land of Iron stared intently at the flag representing the Five Kage Mifune. He never expected that after only a few years, the Five Kage Summit would be held in the Land of Iron again.

The Five Kage Summit, once a prestigious event, now feels rather outdated.

Although he thought this in his heart, he still dared not show it.

The flags representing the Five Great Ninja Villages fly atop the towering castle amidst the blizzard.

The temperature inside the castle contrasted sharply with the blizzard outside.

The five flags—water, wind, fire, earth, and lightning—represent the Five Great Ninja Villages of the Shinobi World, and each flag has a shadow hat representing its respective village on a seat beneath it.

"The Five Kage Summit shall now begin!"

A majestic voice echoed as General Mifune of the Land of Iron once again presided over the Five Kage Summit. He frowned and looked at the arriving Five Kage with a solemn expression.

"I am the person in charge, Mifune, and now we will start the Five Shadows Conference." The Iron Kingdom was once again honored to be the home of the Five Shadows Conference. Mifune sat under the word "Servant" and looked at the Five Shadows with a solemn expression to announce the start of the meeting.

Meanwhile, in the U-shaped seating arrangement were the Third Hokage Tsuchikage Onoki; the Fourth Raikage, Ay; the Fifth Kazekage Pakura; the Fifth Mizukage Mei Terumi; Fifth Hokage, Tsunade Senju.

In just a few years, compared to the last Five Kage Summit, three different film ministers have been replaced.

The guards of the five Kage of the Five Great Ninja Villages stood behind their banners, solemnly watching the Shinobi World anticipated Five Kage Summit.

This is the third such event since the establishment of the Ninja Village.

The Third Hokage Tsuchikage Onoki, looked at the Kazekage, Mizukage, and Hokage with intense jealousy. All the other villages had already changed to the Five Kage, but he was still the only old guy.

For a moment, Ōnoki cursed Deidara in his heart for being so useless.

"Everyone, I don't think anyone wants to see the Akatsuki Organization's capture of the Tailed Beast, such a heinous act. It's a terrorist organization that stands above the Five Great Nations, isn't it?"

The first to lose his temper was the Fourth Raikage, Ay. At this moment, he looked around at the other Kage with an angry expression, stating a fact.

The Third Hokage Tsuchikage Onoki, nodded in agreement and said in a deep voice, "That's right. The Akatsuki Organization has now threatened the rule of our Five Great Ninja Villages and has even disrupted the peace of the Shinobi World."

"The Tailed Beast are key to maintaining peace in the Shinobi World; if they fall into the hands of the Akatsuki Organization, the consequences would be unimaginable."

With the Raikage and Tsuchikage taking turns speaking, the Mizukage Mei Terumi, gave a mocking laugh, "When the Tailed Beast were in the Five Great Ninja Villages, there wasn't a war in the Shinobi World, was there?"

"Besides, I seem to remember that the Tailed Beast are called the strongest war machines." As she said this Mei Terumi's alluring eyes were fixed on Kazekage Pakura and Hokage Tsunade beside her.

Pakura nodded calmly after hearing this, "The fact that all the Tailed Beast are lost only shows that you are all useless."

Mei Terumi and Pakura's back-and-forth banter immediately created a tense atmosphere, and the guards brought by the Tsuchikage and Raikage behind the banners looked even more gloomy and unpleasant.

Although your Three Great Shinobi Villages are now united and powerful, this statement is still too much and goes too far.

The Third Hokage Tsuchikage Onoki, looked at the three with a forced smile, his gaze finally settling on Tsunade.

"The power of the Tailed Beasts was already demonstrated by the Fourth Hokage of Konoha more than a decade ago. The loss of our Tailed Beasts from Iwagakure and Kumogakure this time further illustrates the strength of the Akatsuki organization."

"According to my intelligence, every member of the Akatsuki Organization is an S-rank Rogue Ninja, and each of them possesses the strength to serve as a Kage. Furthermore, the leader of the Akatsuki Organization even possesses the legendary Rinnegan of the Sage of Six Paths."

The old fox was spicier; he directly cited the Fourth Hokage Tailed Beast Tailed Beast illustrate their power, thus indirectly highlighting the terror of the Akatsuki Organization.

"Old fox!" Tsunade cursed inwardly, but smiled nonchalantly. "The loss of the Tailed Beast is a matter for your Iwagakure and Kumogakure. What does it have to do with us? Of course, if you want to protect our One-Tail and Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Konoha welcomes you."

Shameless!

Tsunade's words directly mocked her own inability to protect Kurama, implying that it was her own fault. She pointed out that while they had lost a Fourth Hokage, Nine-Tails was still under their protection.

The Five Kage Summit was marred by disagreements from the very beginning. It was clear that Konoha, Sand Ninja, and Kirigakure did not want to get involved, or rather, it was not so easy for them to intervene.

Faced with the threat of Akatsuki, this is no longer Three Great Shinobi Villages case in the original timeline where the Five Great Ninja Villages acted independently and were naturally wary of Akatsuki Organization's actions. Now that Konoha, Sand Ninja, and Kirigakure have merged, they are protecting their own Tailed Beast well and have no fear of Akatsuki Organization at all.

"Hokage!"

The Fourth Raikage, Ay, slammed his fist on the table in anger, glaring as he said, "The mysterious figure in Akatsuki Organization possesses Wood Release and the Mangekyo, along with the son of the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Asuma, and these two are the ones who went to my Kumogakure."

"Hokage! These two are from your Konoha. Do you really think you can just brush them off with a casual remark?"

Faced with the Raikage's loud questioning, Tsunade slowly narrowed her eyes, revealing a dangerous aura, and calmly said, "Blackie, are you questioning Konoha?"

The voice wasn't loud, but its chilling tone instantly turned the atmosphere cold; the Fourth Raikage, Ay, was clearly questioning and demanding an explanation.

Swish~

In an instant, the guards of the Five Kage appeared in front of their respective shadow figures and confronted each other.

The six members are Sasuke Uchiha, Gaara, Kimimaro, Neji Hyuga, Temari, and Hozuki Suigetsu. Interestingly, Sasuke and Neji are from Konoha, Kimimaro and Hozuki Suigetsu are from Kirigakure, and Gaara and Temari are from Sand Ninja Mist Ninja.

Sasuke Uchiha leading the group, revealed a cold gaze. His Three Tomoe eyeballs darted around before finally settling on the Raikage. He said in a cold voice, "The Kumogakure once came to Konoha under the guise of peace talks to secretly steal the Byakugan. Today, do you, the black-faced bastards of the Kumogakure, also have to give Konoha an explanation?"

Neji Hyuga was standing to the side with his Byakugan rolled back, coldly stared at the guards of Kumogakure, "Is your Raikage questioning our Hokage?!"

The situation instantly became Yakumi. At this moment, the Fourth Raikage, Ay, glared with angry eyes. He wasn't afraid of anyone, but the Hokage's attitude made him even angrier.

The Fifth Hokage, Tsunade, appeared calm and aloof, as if the equal status of the Five Kage did not exist in her eyes.

"Blackie, we Three Great Shinobi Villages only came because of the Five Great Ninja Villages, but this Five Kage Summit you Raikage was under the pretext of peace in the Shinobi World! Now you want to question the Akatsuki Organization's Rogue Ninja coming from Konoha —such a ridiculous and illogical topic."

"Then there's no need for this Five Kage Summit." Tsunade's calm tone echoed, Mei Terumi, standing beside her, covered her mouth and smiled charmingly. "They can't even figure things out, what's the point of holding Five Kage Summit?"

Amidst the mocking laughter, the Fourth Raikage, Ay's already dark face darkened even further. However, impulsiveness was merely a trait of his, and as a Kage, he naturally knew how to control his temper.

"Darui, Xi, step back!"

As the Fourth Raikage, Ay, spoke with a stern voice and a livid expression, Darui and Shi, filled with resentment, reluctantly retreated.

This retreat signifies Kumogakure's submission to Konoha. After all, Konoha is now much stronger. With the merger of the Three Great Shinobi Villages, they are at a disadvantage, let alone Kumogakure, even with Iwagakure added to the mix.

With the Fourth Raikage, Ay, backing down, the Third Hokage Tsuchikage Onoki, said with a smile, "Kurotsuchi, Akatsuchi, don't be nervous."

Ōnoki wore an extremely hypocritical smile. The honest Akatsuchi didn't see anything wrong and obediently retreated. However, the more sensible Kurotsuchi realized that the current situation of the Five Great Ninja Villages in the Shinobi World was even more pessimistic than she had imagined.

Finally, the Five Kage guards withdrew, and the atmosphere at the Five Kage Summit became somewhat tense, unsure how to proceed.

"Heh, the terrorist organization Akatsuki is disrupting the peace of the Shinobi World. This is something no ninja village in the Shinobi World can tolerate. What are your thoughts, Hokage, Kazekage, and Mizukage?"

The Third Hokage Tsuchikage Onoki, was as shrewd as ever. With a vain smile, he directly passed the buck to the Three Great Shinobi Villages of Konoha.

Upon hearing Tsunade, the Fifth Hokage, immediately smiled with relief, her beautiful fingers interlaced and resting on her chin.

"Konoha naturally yearns for peace. If the Akatsuki Organization dares to come to Konoha, then we, the people of Konoha, Mist Ninja, Sand Ninja, will definitely show the Akatsuki Organization what the Five Great Ninja Villages are all about."

The knuckles of his fingers, painted with red nail polish, cracked crisply a few times in time, causing the Third Hokage Tsuchikage Onoki, to freeze in shock.

Tsunade, on the other hand, watched the old man with amusement, as if he were some kind of incompetent passerby.

After all that rambling, the power dynamics of the Five Great Ninja Villages have changed. The Raikage's delusion that the Five Kage are on equal footing means there was no possibility of further discussion from the start.

The status of the Five Great Ninja Villages has changed, and the Raikage's desire to maintain Five Great Ninja Villages equal status will naturally result in him being turned away.

Konoha, Sand Ninja, and Mist Ninja would never agree to this. Otherwise, why would we, the Three Great Shinobi Villages, merge and become so powerful, insist on sitting at the same table with you, maintaining friendly smiles, and claiming we're on equal footing?

The ninja villages don't talk about civilization, they talk about fists!

If we're evenly matched, we should naturally be civilized. But if we create a little distance and you still don't know when to advance or retreat and remain civilized, then you're acting like a hooligan, and I'll raise my fist and glare at you menacingly.

The Third Hokage Tsuchikage Onoki, chuckled dryly, but inwardly he was cursing him to death. It was too much! A group of young people were bullying an old man like him; it was so immoral.

If even one or two geniuses could emerge from Iwagakure, he wouldn't be feeling so frustrated right now.

"Hehe, the strength of the God of Night is obvious to all in the Shinobi World, so there's no need to worry about the so-called Akatsuki Organization. I think the Akatsuki Organization probably wouldn't dare to go to Konoha."

Ōnoki chuckled as he spoke, showing no anger whatsoever over what had just happened, and instead brought up Uchiha Yoru.

Upon hearing this, Tsunade scoffed and cursed the old fox inwardly.

"Your Hokage, Hokage, Kazekage, Mizukage!"

At this moment, the Third Hokage Tsuchikage Onoki, gradually transformed his feigned smile into a solemn expression. "The Five Kage Summit convened by the Raikage this time is actually to find out the thoughts of the three of you. After all, the Akatsuki Organization has seriously threatened the peace of our Iwagakure and Kumogakure."

Since stalling wouldn't work, Ōnoki went straight to the point about the key issue of this Five Kage Summit.

Upon hearing this, Hokage Tsunade's lips slowly curled into a smile. After exchanging glances with Mei Terumi and Pakura, the three Kage all revealed a strange smile.

It was this smile that gave the Third Hokage Tsuchikage Onoki, a bad feeling.

"Given that Iwagakure and Kumogakure were unable to protect their own Tailed Beast, it proves that the so-called Five Great Ninja Villages are a thing of the past."

Pakura's cold voice echoed, and everyone in the Meeting Room was immediately taken aback.

Mei Terumi smiled calmly as well, "Since the Tsuchikage and Raikage want to know our meaning, does that mean the two Kage are representing their villages and making a request to us?"

Boom!

At this moment, their attitudes and status underwent a dramatic change. The Fifth Hokage, Tsunade, even revealed a domineering smile.

"The era of rampant ninja villages has proven to be a mistake. Just as the Warring States period led to the fragmentation of ninja villages, war still exists. For the sake of peace in the Shinobi World, I, as the Hokage, hope that the Third Tsuchikage and the Fourth Raikage will join us!"

"The Daimyo's Mansion has had enough of looking down on the ninja villages. The unification of the Shinobi World is an inevitable trend. As long as we join forces to unify the Shinobi World, what is the Akatsuki Organization? So what if they Rinnegan? Even if the Sage of Six Paths comes, so what!"

Following Tsunade's domineering declaration, the Kazekage Pakura and the Mizukage Mei Terumi, standing to the side, also revealed threatening smiles.

"Boom!"

With a loud crash, the table in front of the Fourth Raikage, Ay, shattered, his eyes blazing with fury.

"Kumogakure will never back down an inch! What bullshit about peace in the Shinobi World? It's clearly Uchiha Yoru's ambition."

"Ambition?" Tsunade sneered. "Kumogakure has been plundering all sorts of Ninjutsu, secret techniques, and even Kekkei Genkai from all over the Shinobi World. They have a terrible reputation. And now they still have the nerve to talk about ambition? How laughable."

Seeing the situation develop to this point, the Third Hokage Tsuchikage Onoki, Onoki, calmly chuckled.

"Heh, I don't understand anything about the changes in the Shinobi World. This trip was originally to discuss the Akatsuki Organization, how did it escalate to this? Doesn't this deviate from the original purpose of our Five Kage Summit?"

When he finished speaking, the Third Hokage Ōnoki, gave a meaningful look to the Fourth Raikage, Ay, as if to say, "Today we'll only discuss the Akatsuki issue; let's leave the rest aside for now."

However, at this moment Tsuchikage Onoki and the Raikage A felt a chill in their hearts. It seemed that the ambition of the Three Great Shinobi Villages of Konoha to merge and dominate the Shinobi World would soon sweep across the Shinobi World.

With the merger of the Three Great Shinobi Villages, although they are now two major ninja villages, the countless smaller ninja villages and daimyo in the Shinobi World have joined forces. Leaving aside high-end combat power, in terms of the military strength of the lower-level Ninja legion alone, they are evenly matched.

"Oh, looks like I've come at the wrong time."

Just then, amidst an Uzumaki of spatial ripples, masked Obito appeared at the Five Kage Summit, looking at everyone with a mocking tone.

In an instant! The Five Kage Summit took an unexpected turn, and the guards of each Kage became even more tense and on high alert.

"Akatsuki!" The Fourth Raikage, Ay, roared furiously the moment he saw Obito. The Two-Tails and Eight-Tails of Kumogakure had been captured by him.

Please support me.
