Year Fifty-Seven of Konoha.
The Land of Rice Fields.
Inside the conference room of the Shinobi Alliance Council Building.
The leaders of the six great hidden villages—Konoha, Night, Kirigakure, Akatsuki, Cloud, and Stone—had gathered.
Together, they discussed and drafted regulations for "further strengthening friendly cooperation between nations."
After the meeting ended.
Obito stretched lazily.
He addressed the Fifth Raikage, Darui, seated on his right.
"Raikage, please go on ahead. The rest of us have another little meeting to hold."
Darui looked around and discovered that none of the others intended to get up.
So out of the six council members, five belong to the same clique?
And the one left out... is fucking me?!
Darui got up and left, looking thoroughly disgruntled.
Once he was gone.
Obito slumped in his chair and said with a chuckle.
"All right, let's continue. You go first, Kakuzu."
Kakuzu turned his green eyes toward Obito and spoke in a gloomy tone.
"Leader, the shinobi world is at peace now. That isn't good for the village's profits."
"Haha, that's where you're dead wrong, Kakuzu."
Obito shook his head with a smile.
He took out a document and slid it across the table to Kakuzu.
"Broaden your horizons, and you'll find plenty of ways to make money."
As he spoke.
Obito took out several more documents and handed them to the others.
After looking through the documents, everyone wore thoughtful expressions.
Seeing this.
Obito said with a smile.
"You've all finished reading, I assume? If we can put these technologies into practice, the profits speak for themselves."
Mei Terumi's beautiful eyes flickered, and she asked tentatively.
"Hokage, where... did you get these technologies?"
Obito smiled without answering.
The secret that he had taken over Kara using his Ōtsutsuki incarnation and acquired a wealth of advanced technology.
