This was the first time the name Caribbean had appeared in the world of Naruto.
The "surviving" Jonin told all the Sand Ninja Jonin present about the entire encounter with Caribbean, as well as his own judgment.
After escaping, the three Sand Ninja, including this Jonin, gathered at their agreed-upon location.
Before meeting up, they had all believed the other side to be Konoha's secret weapon, which was why they had concealed their identities.
However, after the three discussed it together, they had no choice but to believe that the three ninja named "Ippōdō Kenjutsu Master Kato Masayuki," "Shokujin Shimizu Ken," and "Boxing King Tony Wood" were not Konoha ninja.
Able to slaughter several Jonin and Chunin in an extremely short time, the three members of the Caribbean Organization were undoubtedly all Kage Level powerhouses.
When dealing with weaker ninja, these three Caribbean Organization members were even more effortless than other Kage Level powerhouses. They could practically be called the nightmare of "low-level ninja."
However, aside from one whose abilities resembled Tsunade's, the other two possessed abilities they had never seen before.
And according to their intelligence, Tsunade had long since left Konoha. It was impossible, and unnecessary, for her to conceal her identity to take part in this war.
This meant that these three Kage Level powerhouses had appeared suddenly, without any warning at all.
And Konoha clearly could not have hidden three whole Kage Level powerhouses merely to intercept their attack on Konoha's medical ninja.
After all, placing three Kage Level powerhouses on the front lines would have been enough to turn the entire tide of battle.
If three Kage Level powerhouses had joined the battlefield, the decisive battle between Konoha and Sunagakure definitely would not have ended in a costly victory.
Moreover, by the time the brief clash ended, aside from their names and organization, they had not even seen their opponents' faces. They were encountering two of their abilities for the first time and had never even heard of them before.
The organization known as Caribbean was practically shrouded in fog.
In the end, they reached a conclusion that was not entirely certain: the Caribbean Organization was a mysterious organization independent of Konoha. This might have been its first appearance, and it was suspected of having been hired by Konoha.
The Jonin meeting lasted an entire day.
It was not until nightfall that they finalized the selection of the Fourth Kazekage and the bottom line for sending envoys to Konoha to sign a series of "Peace Treaties."
Ever since the Third Kazekage had been assassinated by Sasori of the Red Sands, Chiyo had been acting as Sunagakure's leader. For more than three years, the village had remained without a Kazekage.
There were only two candidates for the Fourth Kazekage: Rasa and Pakura.
Chiyo and Ebizo were both old. It was clearly unlikely for either of them to serve as Kazekage again.
In the war that had broken out this time, Rasa and Pakura had contributed equally. Both could be called heroes.
However, compared with Pakura, Rasa possessed Magnet Release and could "pan for gold" in the desert, bringing income to the already impoverished Sunagakure. Pakura's Scorch Release, which damaged vegetation, could not compete with that.
After the Fourth Kazekage was selected through a Jonin vote, Sunagakure submitted the decision to the Feudal Lord of the Land of Wind. It then sent envoys together with the Feudal Lord's envoys to Konoha to sign a peace agreement.
Of course, a case file was also opened on the Caribbean Organization, and an investigation was planned.
Furthermore, after the meeting ended, an additional order was issued regarding the Caribbean Organization:
When encountering a member of the Caribbean Organization, if the other party showed hostility, they could abandon their mission and retreat immediately.
After all, everyone in the Caribbean Organization was Kage Level. Any one of them could wipe out a Jonin squad as easily as chopping vegetables.
While Sunagakure was sending envoys to Konoha, Hyuga Bin returned to the village alongside the injured ninja.
Having been away from home for so long, the changes in Konoha nearly made Hyuga Bin feel unfamiliar with it.
After spending two days at home with Hyuga Masato and Hyuga Rei, Hyuga Bin invited Kato Masayuki, Uchiha Obito, and Nohara Rin out for a meal.
Although Team 22 had disbanded, thankfully, after more than three years of war, no one was missing, nor had anyone lost an arm or leg.
Just as lunch began, Hyuga Bin was greeted by an uninvited guest—Hatake Kakashi.
"Bin, I challenge you!"
The familiar words, the familiar tone, the familiar feeling—after all these years, Hatake Kakashi's original resolve toward Hyuga Bin had never changed.
"I'm eating." Hyuga Bin pointed at the steaming hot pot before him.
"I'll wait until you finish, then we'll fight." Hatake Kakashi stood nearby and waited for Hyuga Bin to finish eating.
He had waited more than three years for this battle. He did not mind waiting a little longer.
"Kakashi, eat with us first. Then we can fight." Hyuga Bin arranged a seat for Hatake Kakashi and had the waiter bring another bowl and pair of chopsticks.
For food like hot pot, Hatake Kakashi naturally had to remove his mask and feast together with Hyuga Bin and the others.
Looking at Hatake Kakashi, who had grown into a handsome young man, Hyuga Bin had to admit that he was a little handsome—almost enough to catch up to him.
