This is the name of the Caribbean, appearing in the world of Naruto for the first time.

This "surviving" Jonin recounted the entire process of encountering the "Caribbean" to all the assembled Sand Ninja Jonin, along with his assessment.

After escaping, the three Sand Ninja, including this Jonin, gathered at their pre-arranged meeting spot.

Before they met, they all believed the other party was a secret weapon from Konoha, so they hid their identities.

However, after the three of them got together and discussed it, they had to believe that these three ninja, named "Ippōdō Kenjutsu Master Kato Masayuki," "Shokujin Shimizu Ken," and "Ken'ō Tony*Moku," were not Konoha ninja.

Being able to kill several Jonin and Chunin in a very short amount of time, these three members of the Caribbean organization were undoubtedly Kage-level powerhouses.

When dealing with low-level ninja, these three members of the Caribbean organization were even more relaxed than other Kage-level powerhouses; these three members of the Caribbean organization could practically be called the nightmare of "low-level ninja."

However, of the three's abilities, apart from one person who was like Tsunade, the abilities of the other two were completely unseen before.

And according to their intelligence, Tsunade had long since left Konohagakure, making it impossible and unnecessary for her to hide her identity to participate in this war.

This meant that these three Kage-level powerhouses had appeared suddenly, without any warning.

Konohagakure clearly could not hide three Kage-level powerhouses just to intercept their assault on Konoha's Medical Ninja.

After all, three Kage-level powerhouses on the front lines would be enough to turn the tide of the entire battle.

With the addition of three Kage-level powerhouses to the battlefield, the decisive battle between Konohagakure and their Sunagakure would absolutely not end in a pyrrhic victory.

Moreover, until their brief clash ended, they had not even seen the faces of their opponents, apart from their names and organization. Even the abilities of two of them were something they had never heard of before.

This organization called Caribbean was like a mist.

They finally reached a conclusion that was not entirely certain: the Caribbean organization was a mysterious organization operating outside of Konoha, and this was possibly their first appearance, suspected of being hired by Konoha.

The Jonin meeting lasted for an entire day.

Until nightfall, two matters were finalized: the selection of the Fourth Kazekage and the dispatch of envoys to sign a series of "Peace Treaties" with Konoha, with the bottom line of the agreement.

Ever since the Third Kazekage was assassinated by Sasori of the Red Sands, Sunagakure had been managed by Chiyo acting in his stead. For over three years, it had been in a state of having no Kazekage.

Regarding the candidates for the Fourth Kazekage, there were only Rasa and Pakura.

Chiyo and Ebizo were both elders, so it was unlikely for them to serve as Kazekage again.

In the war that broke out, Rasa and Pakura had made equivalent contributions, both deserving to be called heroes.

However, compared to Pakura, Rasa possessed Magnet Release, which allowed him to "pan for gold" in the desert, bringing income to the already impoverished Sunagakure. Pakura's Scorch Release, which damaged greenery, could not compete.

After the Fourth Kazekage was elected by Jonin vote, Sunagakure also submitted the decision to the Feudal Lord of the Land of Wind, and then dispatched envoys along with the Feudal Lord's envoys to Konoha to sign the peace agreement.

Of course, the "Caribbean organization" was also put on record and plans were made to investigate it.

Furthermore, regarding the Caribbean organization, an additional order was issued after the meeting concluded:

If encountered with hostile intent from members of the Caribbean organization, missions could be abandoned, and immediate retreat was advised.

After all, everyone in the Caribbean organization was Kage-level. Any one of them could wipe out a Jonin squad as easily as slicing through vegetables.

While Sunagakure's envoys were en route to Konoha, Hyuga Bin also returned to the village along with the injured ninja.

Having been away for a long time, the changes in Konohagakure almost made Hyuga Bin feel unfamiliar.

After spending two days at home with Hyuga Masato and Hyuga Rei, Hyuga Bin invited Kato Masayuki, Uchiha Obito, and Nohara Rin for a meal.

Although Team 22 had disbanded, fortunately, after more than three years of war, no one was missing, nor had anyone lost limbs.

Just as lunch began, Hyuga Bin received an uninvited guest—Hatake Kakashi.

"Bin, I challenge you!"

The same familiar line, the same tone, the same feeling. Hatake Kakashi's original intention towards Hyuga Bin had not changed over the years.

"I'm eating," Hyuga Bin said, pointing to the steaming hot pot in front of him.

"I'll wait for you to finish eating, then we'll fight," Hatake Kakashi stood nearby, waiting for Hyuga Bin to finish.

He had waited for over three years for this battle, so he didn't mind waiting a little longer.

"Kakashi, then let's eat together, and then we can fight," Hyuga Bin arranged for Hatake Kakashi to sit down and asked the waiter to add a set of bowls and chopsticks.

When eating hot pot, Hatake Kakashi naturally had to remove his mask and eat heartily with Hyuga Bin and the other two.

Hyuga Bin looked at Hatake Kakashi, who had grown into a handsome young man, and had to admit he was quite good-looking, almost as much as himself.
