Lord Madara's overwhelming presence!
In the Land of Rain, at the Akatsuki Organization Base, the gloomy and oppressive atmosphere made one's chest feel tight.
The only person who was seated suddenly moved. He slowly stood up, and everyone's eyes followed his movement.
"So, the plan to capture the Nine-Tails has failed," Uchiha Madara said nonchalantly.
"There's nothing we can do about it, after all, the opponent is the Hokage of all generations!" Tōka looked helpless, as if he was no match for him at all.
"Moreover, Lord Madara's old rival, Hashirama Senju among them!"
"Hashirama..." Upon hearing this name, Uchiha Madara's eyes flashed with a cold light, and a strong fighting spirit surged within him.
During the time Tōka was capturing the Nine-Tails, Uchiha Madara didn't go anywhere; he only did one thing.
He stayed at the Akatsuki Organization Base the Land of Rain, learning about the events that had occurred in the Ninja World since his death through Black Zetsu's records.
Black Zetsu knew exactly what he should and shouldn't say.
In the silence, everyone waited for Madara to make a decision, to give his next order.
"Black Zetsu, I need information about the Eight-Tails!"
Upon hearing this, everyone understood that Akatsuki Organization's next mission would inevitably revolve around the Eight-Tails, first capturing the Eight-Tails, and then capturing the Nine-Tails.
However, Uchiha Madara's next sentence contradicted everyone's conclusion.
His aura shifted, and his deep voice lowered, "Before that, let's go see those guys!"
The Land of Iron a neutral country where there are no ninjas, and it is protected by a fighting group called "Samurai".
In the early hours of this day, the peaceful kingdom welcomed five figures of great importance in the Ninja World.
"Lord Hokage, we have entered the Land of Iron. Lord Mifune, the leader of the Land of Iron, will soon send someone to meet us," Hatake Kakashi said solemnly.
After being ambushed by Akatsuki Organization members within the Land of Fire, Asuma retreated safely back to Konoha, whereupon Konoha immediately dispatched Elite Squad of five Jonin to provide support.
In other words, at this moment, in addition to Kakashi and Tsunade, Jonin.
On the surface, there is one Kage-level and three Jonin, while another four Jonin form a small team hidden in the shadows.
"Understood, let's go." Tsunade nodded. Once they entered the Land of Land of Iron, there was no need to worry about being attacked.
After all, the Land of Iron is not like the Land of Fire; it is vast, with many mountains and rivers, and is completely covered by dense Forest.
The Land of Iron is a country where there are more rocks than trees, and more minerals than food.
The group made no attempt to conceal their identities; Kakashi's forehead Forehead Protector was the symbol of Konoha. Soon, a pair of armored samurai wielding swords approached them.
"Lord Hokage, I am Chōsuke, here to greet you on the orders of Lord Mifune." Chōsuke was Mifune's confidant and a skilled Iaijutsu user.
Mifune, presiding over the conference, was unable to leave his post, so sending Chōsuke to greet him demonstrates the importance he places on Konoha.
Tsunade nodded slightly in return, "Take us directly to Mifune!"
"Understood!" Chōsuke his hand, and the samurai on both sides turned around in neat formation.
Thump! Thump!
The heavy, steady footsteps rang out in unison; the warriors of the Land of Iron were so well-trained that they resembled an army!
Kakashi's eyes narrowed slightly, secretly surprised. Although the neutral Land of Iron had no ninjas, it had powerful samurai, whose strength should not be underestimated!
"Chōsuke, I wonder who has already arrived?" Tsunade asked, following behind Chōsuke.
"Just call me Chōsuke," Chōsuke said as he walked. "Except for the Mizukage of Kirigakure in the Land of Water, everyone else has already arrived at the venue."
"Then we need to pick up the pace," Tsunade suggested.
Upon hearing this, Chōsuke raised his hand in signal, and the team's speed immediately increased.
The Five Kage Summit was held in a heavily guarded high-rise building, Raikage, Tsuchikage, and Kazekage arrived first.
In the Conference Room, Mifune sat in the main seat, and the others took their seats in turn.
Behind each Kage stood two Jonin. Of course, this was only the power displayed on the surface; The Great Nations must have hidden contingency plans.
The news that the Akatsuki Organization members within the Land of Fire Hokage not be concealed.
Asuma returned to Konoha to recuperate from his injuries, prevent reinforcements from reaching him, and send messages to the other Four Great Nations warning them of an Akatsuki Organization attack.
The silence in the venue was eerily heavy, the oppressive air feeling like a mountain pressing down on us.
The Raikage was a short-tempered man, and this tedious waiting made him very impatient, especially since the oppressive atmosphere in the venue ignited a nameless rage within him.
Bang!
Without warning, Raikage raised his arm high and smashed the long wooden table in front of him in half with a single punch!
"Why haven't the Hokage and Mizukage arrived yet? Are they slow because they're missing a leg?"
The Raikage shouted and cursed loudly. On his way to the Land of Iron, he had already received news that Killer B had been attacked in the Valley of Clouds and Lightning.
This was also one of the reasons that made the Raikage so angry.
However, whether all of this was merely a deliberate act by the Raikage to mislead his opponents remains unknown.
Before Raikage could finish speaking, the sound of footsteps approached from afar.
"Raikage, watch your words."
Tsunade entered and took her seat with a clean and efficient manner. Kakashi and Asuma entered together and stood behind her with expressionless faces.
"Looks like some rude guy can't wait any longer?" Mizukage Mei Terumī and Tsunade almost simultaneously lifted the curtain and entered.
"Hmph, if I don't scold you, you won't be willing to come out!" Raikage didn't care about the two women's cold eyes at all, and sat down again nonchalantly.
In fact, Tsunade and Mei Terumī had already arrived before the Raikage spoke.
The two met outside and exchanged some information beforehand, which is why they didn't enter immediately.
The people in the Conference Room were all strong, the lowest being Jonin. Anyone who got too close would be detected, especially since Tsunade and Mei Terumī weren't making any effort to conceal their presence.
The Raikage deliberately yelled, clearly displeased with Tsunade and Mei Terumī's actions outside.
"What were the Hokage and Mizukage talking about so enthusiastically outside? Can you tell us so we can all have a laugh?"
The one who spoke was the Fourth Tsuchikage, Ōnoki, who succeeded the Third Tsuchikage, Kitsuchi.
Kitsuchi Tu is tall and strong, with an honest appearance and a brave and decisive personality. He seems like a very approachable middle-aged man.
The person who could possibly become the Tsuchikage is certainly not as simple as they appear on the surface.
With just one sentence, everyone's attention in the room was focused on the Hokage and the Mizukage.
"What? Is there something you can't say?" the Raikage asked coldly, clearly indicating that he and the Tsuchikage were now on the same side.
Mei Terumī raised her eyes slightly, glanced at the two of them lightly, then crossed her fingers in front of her eyes, pursed her lips, and remained silent.
Upon seeing this, Tsunade frowned slightly.
The Mizukage chose to ignore the Raikage and Tsuchikage, but she couldn't do that.
What may seem like a small matter could very well cause the Five Kage Summit's joint plan to fail if not handled properly.
"It's nothing, you all know." Tsunade organized her thoughts and said in a deep voice, "It was about the attack by Akatsuki Organization members Itachi Uchiha and Kisame after leaving Konoha."
Upon hearing this, everyone perked up their ears.
Although messages were sent, the information was only a general overview. Only the Hokage and his party, who were directly involved, knew the specifics.
The Raikage and Tsuchikage wisely chose to remain silent and listen to Tsunade's next words.
"It was called an attack, but it was actually just a deliberately arranged encounter." Tsunade paused here and looked up at Kakashi.
Kakashi nodded slightly and stepped forward.
"I am Hatake Kakashi, and I will now begin the explanation."
"A few days ago, we left Konoha for the Land of Iron, where we were attacked by Itachi Uchiha and Kisame in a Forest within the Land of Fire."
"The battle began quickly, and Itachi Uchiha dragged us into a genjutsu. However, we didn't actually engage Itachi Uchiha in combat."
"Oh? No battle?" Kazekage, the Gaara, raised an eyebrow, his words filled with doubt.
"Yes," Kakashi replied affirmatively, then continued, "Itachi Uchiha brought us some information, information about Ōtsutsuki Tōka."
"Ōtsutsuki Tōka? That Rogue Ninja from Konoha, the guy who's been causing trouble in the Ninja World?" the Raikage asked in a low voice.
The Land of Lightning doesn't have much information about Ōtsutsuki Tōka.
But the Raikage knew his opponent was incredibly strong; that battle... was the greatest humiliation of his life!
"Please don't interrupt him, Raikage!" Mei Terumī gave the Raikage a cold glance.
A vein bulged on the Raikage's forehead. He knew that Mei Terumī deliberately targeting him because of what she had said earlier, but it was all for the sake of obtaining information about Ōtsutsuki Tōka.
He endured it!
The room fell silent. Kakashi continued, "The surname 'Otsutsuki' might be unfamiliar to many, but there's one person everyone knows."
Who?!
Everyone's hearts tightened, and a strange feeling welled up inside them. They could sense the names Kakashi was about to utter.
It must be... extraordinary!
"The founder of the Ninshu, the Sage of Six Paths!"
Its name is: Otsutsuki Hagoromo!
Wow!
The story of the Sage of Six Paths has been passed down for thousands of years, and is engraved in people's hearts like a myth. Whether ninja or commoner, no one is unaware of his deeds.
However, after a thousand years, the stories that have been passed down only mention the Sage of Six Paths with respect, and his name is only recorded in a few ancient families.
Seeing the shocked expressions on everyone's faces, Kakashi took a deep breath and dropped another bombshell.
"I'm sure everyone has already guessed the relationship between Tōka and Hagoromo."
"They are..."
Just then, Kakashi's words came to an abrupt halt!
A loud bang!
The entire building shuddered violently, then began to shake wildly, with sand and dust falling frantically from the cracks in the solid stone due to the building's constant shaking.
Mixed with fine sand and gravel, a clearly visible crack quickly spread across the wall.
Boom!
The wall collapsed instantly, and huge boulders hurtled through the air. A powerful gust of air created a violent storm, whipping up sand and stones that rushed straight into the venue.
"Earth Release · Earth Style Wall!"
The simplest Earth Release Ninjutsu, yet Ninjutsu is also the fastest and has the widest range!
With a low shout from the Tsuchikage, dense Earth Element chakra was injected into the ground, and a tall, thick earthen wall sprang up like bamboo shoots after a rain.
"Everyone's here, so I don't have to go looking for them one by one!"
Amidst the swirling dust, a dark figure slowly approached.
The Jonin responsible for protecting the Kage of each village Jonin Body Flicker Technique to the front, forming a defensive formation on the left and right.
As the sandstorm gradually subsided, a tall and slender figure came into view.
A red iron shoulder-covering body armor accentuated his resolute and powerful side, while his inner garment was a black tight-fitting combat suit, covered by a black long robe.
Her Long Hair, expressive hair cascaded down her back, and her striking black and white eyes shone brightly.
This man is none other than the infamous Asura of the Ninja World — Uchiha Madara!
The era of Uchiha Madara and Hashirama Senju has long passed, and there is only one person in the venue who has actually seen Uchiha Madara in person.
Princess of the Senju Clan, and now the Fifth Hokage — Tsunade!
"How is this possible..." She stared in astonishment at the figure ten steps away, a young and vibrant body, a familiar yet strange aura of menace.
Sight, hearing, smell, and touch were all stimulating Tsunade's nerves.
Tell her that the person in front of her is the real Asura of the Ninja World, the man that only Grandpa can defeat!
Uchiha Madara stood Budong, and his mere presence was enough to make everyone's muscles tense.
The scene seemed frozen in time, as if time itself had stopped at that moment.
No one made a move.
The fact that they were able to remain conscious and standing under such immense pressure is enough to prove the strength of everyone present.
Uchiha Madara stood there with his arms crossed, expressionless, his gaze sweeping over the Raikage, Tsuchikage, Kazekage, and Mizukage.
Ultimately, Hashirama gaze settled on Tsunade, from whom he could sense Tsunade's presence.
Tsunade's appearance gradually overlapped with her childhood face shape, and after a moment's thought, Uchiha Madara guessed Tsunade's identity.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, Uchiha Madara moved without warning!
His movements were incredibly fast, like a bolt of lightning flashing with arcs of electricity, disappearing as soon as he entered the arena.
I hope I haven't embarrassed your grandfather!
A Straight Punch, devoid of any fancy moves, was thrown out. The powerful force of the punch seemed to tear through space, creating a howling gale.
Bang!
A punch was thrown without any mercy...
But a Dark Green leg suddenly appeared and blocked their way!
"That was a heavy punch!" Kai kicked Madara's fist and felt a tremendous force surge through his leg.
With a muffled crack, Kai's other foot, which was standing on the floor, shattered the hard stone slab.
Kai is a master of Taijutsu; he fears no one in this Taijutsu!
The foot that had kicked Uchiha Madara's fist pressed down, and Guy stepped on Uchiha Madara's fist and leaped into the air.
"Konoha Strong Gale!"
Whew! Whew!
With astonishing speed and power, a spinning back kick is enough to shatter a Rock two people high with just one kick.
The terrifying force created a howling wind.
Just when everyone thought the hairy man's body was about to be kicked away...
Snap! A large, open hand suddenly reached out, and the moment it touched the green shadow, it snapped shut, easily gripping Kai's ankle!
It was blocked?!
Kai was startled and Mirai he could react, he felt his body lighten as the other person lifted him up with one hand.
Uchiha Madara swung his arm, throwing Guy's body behind him!
Boom!
