"I think you should accept Hiruzen Sarutobi's invitation, Lord Kazekage."
"However, given the rivalry between our great nations, we should make preparations in advance."
"To avoid ambushes and attacks from the other hidden villages."
Granny Chiyo spoke gravely.
Ebizō looked thoughtful, then finally nodded. "I also think we should attend and see where the other four nations stand."
At that, the Fourth Kazekage pondered for a moment before finally nodding.
He decided to attend the summit.
The Land of Water, Hidden Mist Village.
"What is that old man Hiruzen Sarutobi after, sending an invitation to a Five Kage Summit now?"
"Does he want to unite the Five Great Nations against the Land of Rain?"
Mei Terumi frowned, her two plump breasts resting on the desk.
"I think you should go and see, Lady Mizukage."
"It will help us judge the direction and situation of the entire Ninja World going forward."
Chojuro spoke quietly.
"What about you, Ao? Do you think I should go?"
Mei Terumi looked at the other man.
Ao paused at the question, then nodded. "There hasn't been a Five Kage Summit in many years. The most recent one before this was probably back when the Five Great Nations were first established."
"This will undoubtedly be very helpful for peace!"
Mei Terumi's brow furrowed at his words. "If these people are planning to take that man down..."
"I'm afraid this meeting won't be a pleasant one."
Chojuro and Ao exchanged a glance and fell silent.
They had witnessed Xia Le's power firsthand and stood in awe of him. If he wished, he could probably wage war on the entire Ninja World alone, turning it into a scene of magnificent carnage.
"Fine. Let's see just what these people are up to!"
Mei Terumi sighed.
Time continued to pass.
