The Five Kage Summit Begins!
Time flies, and the three-month period is almost here.
In the Konoha Year 37, September. Autumn was deepening, and the autumn wind swept through, turning the forests into a tapestry of colors.
Three months have passed since the end of the Second Shinobi World War, and for the past three months, the eyes of the entire Shinobi World have been focused on Konoha, which stands in the heart of the Land of Fire.
Today marks the official opening of the Second Five Kage Summit.
Unlike the old and rustic houses of other Ninja Village, with their mud walls and wooden huts, the Konoha that was now presented to all the outside forces completely overturned the Shinobi World's preconceived notions about Ninja Village.
Looking around, one can see many new four- or five-story buildings standing in the village, with gray and white walls and glass windows, interspersed with the old wooden houses and bungalows.
Clean and smooth Bluestone Main Road crisscross, replacing the messy Dirt Road and tangled electrical wires of the past. The underground pipelines are arranged in an orderly manner. The entire Konoha is neat and magnificent, like a city in the process of revitalization, and has long since lost its former village appearance.
The streets were lined with shops, bustling and prosperous. In particular, a giant LCD Screen hung on the exterior wall of the Commercial Street Building in the very center of the village, broadcasting the latest news of Konoha and the proceedings of the Five Kage Summit in real time. It was said that this was a creation of Hiruko Orochimaru, specifically designed to showcase the Lord Hokage at the Five Kage Summit to the villagers.
Chrysanthemums, osmanthus, and other seasonal flowers are planted on both sides of the main road, and rows of ginkgo trees are neatly arranged. The villagers and ninjas are dressed neatly, and their expressions are calm and peaceful.
The bustling, orderly, powerful, and prosperous Konoha made all the Shinobi World forces that came from afar tremble with fear. How could this be considered Ninja Village? It would not be an exaggeration to call it a small city.
As time passed, various forces from the Shinobi World arrived one after another, entering the territory.
The Land of Fire Daimyo, dressed in magnificent robes and accompanied by his entourage, led his close advisors to Konoha's largest Martial Arts Arena and took their seats on the VIP viewing platform.
Behind them were the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning, the Land of Wind, and the Land of Earth. Their expressions were all somewhat gloomy. They blamed their own Ninja Village for being so useless, forcing these noble Daimyo to travel thousands of miles to live alongside these peasants.
Behind them were the Daimyo of dozens of small and medium-sized countries. They seemed relaxed, accepting whatever Konoha was up to.
In any case, the power of discourse in the Shinobi World will always just pass through the hands of the Five Great Nations; as for the rest of us, we can just watch the show.
The Daimyo of the Land of Grass, in particular, not only looked relaxed but even seemed a little excited, considering that the Land of Grass had long been a vassal state of the Land of Fire.
With the eldest brother being so strong, as the younger brother, I should at least get some soup to drink...

Following the arrival of the Daimyo from various countries, delegations from the major Ninja Village soon followed.
At the entrance to Konoha and along both sides of the main road, Konoha's dedicated reception ninjas stood in orderly rows, their manners impeccable, their attitude respectful yet not humble, exuding the composure and majesty of a top-tier Ninja Village.
The Shadow Guard, with their upright postures and chilling aura, took turns on duty. The Anbu Ninja were hidden in various places in the streets and buildings, forming an invisible and impenetrable defensive network.
Hiruzen Sarutobi, Shimura Danzō, Utatane Koharu, Shikata Nara, and other Konoha High Command of Konoha were assigned to receive various forces in different areas, and they were in a calm and orderly manner.
The younger generation of Hatake Sakumo and the Sannin were also positioned on either side. Sakumo was cold and stern, Tsunade was bright and dignified, Jiraiya was relaxed Jiraiya composed, and Orochimaru was silent and indifferent. The four of them standing there were a testament to the strength of Konoha's New Generation of fighters.
The first to enter the village were the Three Great Shinobi Villages: Sunagakure, Iwagakure, and Kumogakure. Of the four top Ninja Village, only Kirigakure was absent and refused to attend.
Iwagakure) – The Third Tsuchikage Iwagakure, the Scales of the Ōnoki of Both Scales, slowly stepped into Konoha with his entourage. The moment he entered, Ōnoki's small frame tensed instantly as he surveyed the magnificent Konoha cityscape, a complex mix of emotions swirling within him.
This is Konoha! When will Iwagakure finally set foot on this land...?
But when he saw the Kagami Uchiha Hokage Rock the Hokage Rock in the distance, a deep hatred and helplessness welled up in his heart: Kagami Uchiha! Damn the Uchiha Clan!
The Kumogakure — The Third Raikage, clad in his Raikage robes, led the elite forces of the Kumogakure into the village. Despite his arrogant demeanor and innate fierceness, his expression couldn't help but stiffen when his gaze swept over the current Konoha:
How many years has it been? When he first went to Konoha, the Konoha was still in a state of disrepair. In just over a decade, under the leadership of Kagami Uchiha, it has undergone such earth-shattering changes!
Damn it! When will the Kumogakure Village ever get to this point?
That damned Kagami Uchiha! Kumogakure destroyed the Land of Whirlpools, didn't they? They stole their Tailed Beast. Don't think he doesn't know what Kagami Uchiha is thinking. If they really wanted to protect their allies, the Eastern Shinobi Army of Konoha should have been stationed in the Land of Whirlpools in the first place!
Instead of holding people accountable afterward, hmph, that born evil Uchiha brat!
Sunagakure – The Third Kazekage Sajie, Sunagakure with his ninja corps. Gazing upon Konoha, Konoha far more prosperous and powerful than Sunagakure, his face darkened, his fists clenched. Thinking of Shukaku, who was being held captive in Konoha, his expression grew even colder.
Just as the delegations from the Three Great Shinobi Villages stepped into Konoha one by one and headed towards the venue, a whisper suddenly arose behind them:
"That blue-haired guy must be the Third Kazekage of Sunagakure."
"It seems so, haha... He really is from some backwater. Judging from his complexion, he looks like he'll die young."
"That's right, that's right! The Lord Hokage bestowed divine grace, allowing these country bumpkins to hold a conference in our Konoha, and they all have such deadpan faces..."
"If you ask me, the Lord Hokage was too merciful. Why didn't he capture that guy along with us?"
"Hey, hey, hey, stop talking! He's looking over here!"
"Hmph! What can they do about looking over here! These days, Konoha is full of Military Police Force dogs watching us relentlessly. My Will of Tyranny dominate is itching to be unleashed."
"That's right, if we can't use them on our own people, why can't we use them on these country bumpkins from out of town? The worst that can happen is three days in jail, I'll take it!"
"Hmph, that's right, you shorty! You black bastard! You'll die young!"
Upon hearing this, Ōnoki, A, and Sajie's faces all darkened. As Kage Level powerhouses, how could they not hear such a sound?
But this was Konoha, and the powerful Konoha members around them were all eyeing them menacingly, not to mention the nearly invincible Kagami Uchiha. With this in mind, the three of them could only suppress their anger and quicken their pace toward the venue.
Ōnoki: You damned Konoha scoundrels, I'll use Dust Release to blast your mouths apart sooner or later!
Sajie: You beast! Like father, like Kagami Uchiha is so foul-mouthed, no wonder these villagers in Konoha are so despicable!
Ai: Hehe... Those two must be pretty angry... Anyway, I can't hear you, and it's not the first time I've experienced this!
