The Dream Organization had just finished its election here, while on the other side, the ninjas of the Five Great Nations were urgently sending intelligence and the Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki's handwritten letters back to their respective villages.
The Five Kage Summit!
Ever since the first summit had been held shortly after the major shinobi villages were founded, it had been shelved until now.
More than forty years had passed.
Could it be that the world was on the brink of another great upheaval?
Land of Lightning.
Although Oroi had yet to send back intelligence from the front lines, Obito Uchiha had learned of the news in advance.
After all, no one could run faster than Black Zetsu!
From within the shadows, Obito demanded angrily, "How could I possibly let the Third Raikage attend some Five Kage Summit?"
Any genjutsu left traces of the caster's chakra inside its target. Ordinary people might not be able to see such traces, but the Byakugan could.
And would the Hokage bring a Hyuga clansman to the Five Kage Summit?
Could he really leave something as important as whether he would be exposed to someone else's whim?
"Can A go in my place?"
"Th-this... I'm afraid not."
Black Zetsu shook his head. "The Tsuchikage doesn't truly want to negotiate or back down. He wants to buy time and gather the strength of the Five Great Shinobi Villages to resist. Therefore, the power of the Five Kage is essential. No one else carries enough weight."
"Am I supposed to let Kumogakure go so easily? They were the main culprits behind Rin's death!"
Obito's voice was filled with hatred and unwillingness.
"Hmm... If you want to continue taking revenge on Kumogakure, perhaps you could do this..."
Black Zetsu's eyes shifted as he spoke in a low voice.
