The situation across the Shinobi World has undergone subtle and complex changes. In order to find the Tsubasa Hokage, Konoha has dispatched countless elite ninja teams to various countries to investigate. However, two months have passed in the blink of an eye. Some countries in the Shinobi World are cooperating with Konoha's ninja investigation, while others are outwardly compliant but inwardly defiant, and still others are directly driving away and attacking Konoha's ninja delegations. There has been no progress in finding out about the Hokage's disappearance.
The leaders of Konoha were extremely anxious. They were well aware of the seriousness of the Hokage's disappearance. If the Hokage could not be found or the truth revealed as soon as possible, the situation in Konoha and even the entire Shinobi World would become unpredictable.
Just then, a Konoha Anbu Ninja rushed into the Hokage Building Secretariat, panting, and reported, "Report! Breaking news from the Land of Earth! Lady Tian Uguisu, the Hokage's wife, has killed Tsuchikage Ōnoki and tens of thousands of elite ninjas from the Land of Earth, becoming the new Tsuchikage. She is now mobilizing the Land of Earth's ninjas to search for the Lord Hokage's whereabouts."
The Hokage Secretariat quickly relayed this news to the top officials of Konoha and convened an emergency meeting of the Konoha.
The atmosphere in the Konoha meeting room was tense, almost suffocating. Biwako stood up and explained the news she had received about the Land of Earth: " Tian Uguisu and Madara Uchiha launched a war of annihilation against the Land of Earth. Now, the Tsuchikage and Daimyo of the Land of Earth are all dead. Tian Uguisu has become the Queen of the Land of Earth, ruling the entire Land of Earth, and has mobilized a large number of Iwagakure ninja to search for the Tsubasa of the Hokage, Ten'yori Land of Earth and its surrounding countries. Meanwhile, the Land of Water has also launched a campaign of Hokage at sea for over a month. The Land of Waves in the sea has already been destroyed, and the Land of Tea is currently under attack by the Land of Water." After speaking, she began distributing the documents in her hand, and the high-level meeting of the Land of Fire officially began.
Uchiha Tomioki was the first to jump up excitedly, his face showing disbelief. His hands were clenched into fists, and his voice trembled slightly. "Last month, the Land of Earth drove away our ninja investigation team. I never expected that in less than a month, Uguisu-chan would take them down. As expected of my daughter Uchiha Tomioki, she is truly amazing!" His eyes shone with pride and honor, as if at this moment, his daughter had become the most dazzling star in the entire Shinobi World.
Everyone else examined the documents in their hands, stood up in unison, and looked shocked. Their voices were tinged with disbelief. " The Land of Earth has been destroyed! What happened? Is the news reliable?" Their eyes were filled with doubt and confusion, as if they couldn't believe the facts before their eyes. Weren't they supposed to avoid initiating wars?
Nara Shikanei, the head of the Anbu, stood up. His face was serious. He nodded slightly and said in a deep voice, "After repeated confirmation, Lady Tian Uguisu has taken control of the entire Land of Earth and has become its Land of Earth facto queen." There was a hint of helplessness in his voice, as if he too was shocked by this sudden change.
All the high-ranking officials of Konoha looked at Tian Flying Swallow and Tian Yueqing, their gazes filled with a mixture of expectation and skepticism, as if awaiting a reasonable explanation. They were all wondering: Why was the Ten Family acting alone to destroy a country? Did this mean that Konoha's strategy needed to be readjusted?
Tian Flying Swallow stood up, her face serious, her brows slightly furrowed, and said in a deep voice, "Everyone, I know you have many questions. Tian Uguisu's actions were indeed unexpected, but please calm down and listen to my explanation." Her voice carried a firm tone, as if telling everyone that she had a responsibility to give them a reasonable explanation.
"First of all, we need to make one thing clear: Tian Uguisu's actions, like Tian Yukihime's actions, were not authorized by our Ten Family. Although they came from Konoha, they do not obey the orders of the Land of Fire. Last month, we contacted Tian Yukihime, and she clearly stated that the Land of Water will not obey any orders from the Land of Fire until Tsubasa is found."
"Tian Uguisu has joined forces with Madara Uchiha, it's definitely to find the Hokage's whereabouts more quickly. The Land of Earth has many powerful ninjas, who have always been key to the Hokage's disappearance. Although Tian Uguisu and Madara Uchiha's actions are intense, she has already seized power in the Land of Earth and is mobilizing the ninjas Land of Earth to investigate. I'm sure she won't accept orders from the Land of Fire until she finds Tsubasa." Tian Flying Swallow's voice carried a hint of helplessness.
"Secondly, we must recognize that Tian Uguisu's actions also present us with a new opportunity. The situation in the Land of Earth has fundamentally changed, and we can better advance the investigation into the Hokage's disappearance through cooperation with Tian Uguisu. At the same time, we must be wary of the Land of Water's actions; they have already launched several attacks to destroy the country at sea. We must take measures to prevent them from posing a threat to the Land of Fire. Tian Yukihime is somewhat out of control now, and the ninjas of Konoha must prevent any conflict with her." Tian Flying Swallow's voice carried a hint of determination.
Uchiha Tomioki nodded, a hint of relief on his face. " Tian Uguisu would never be an enemy of Konoha, but she might do anything to find Tsubasa's whereabouts. That's a characteristic of our Uchiha Clan —we value relationships very much. We should support her actions and cooperate with her to advance the investigation into the Hokage's disappearance."
Nara Shikanei frowned slightly, a hint of worry on his face. " Lady Tian Uguisu's actions will inevitably ignite the entire Shinobi World's situation. We must not ignore the risks involved. The peace that our Konoha has been advocating in diplomacy will no longer be trusted by anyone. Lady Tian Uguisu's actions will surely provoke the dissatisfaction of other countries, and even a war may be unavoidable. Our ninja investigation team must be recalled immediately." His voice was filled with concern.
Hatake Sakumo stood up, a serious expression on his face. "Our military must take measures to prevent other countries from posing a threat to the Land of Fire."
Hyuga Reon nodded slightly, a hint of composure on her face. "We cannot cooperate with Lady Tian Uguisu, thus demonstrating that her actions are unrelated to Konoha and are solely her personal matter, preventing unnecessary conflict between Konoha and friendly nations. The elite ninja squad cannot be withdrawn either; the Lord Hokage must continue the search. Furthermore, we should strive for the understanding and support of other countries, as their reactions are crucial in distinguishing between enemy and friend." A ruthless edge lingered in her voice.
After intense discussions, the leaders of Konoha finally reached a consensus. They decided not to cooperate with Tian Uguisu and to each pursue their own investigations into the Hokage's disappearance. They also decided to strengthen diplomatic communication with various countries to gain their cooperation. Furthermore, they decided to reinforce Konoha Konoha's military defenses to prevent other countries from posing a military threat to the Land of Fire.
Queen Tian Flying Swallow stood up, a resolute look on her face. "Everyone, the disappearance of the Hokage concerns the Mirai of Konoha and the peace and stability of the entire Shinobi World. We must unite as one to face all challenges. I believe that as long as we persevere, the truth behind the Hokage's disappearance will eventually be revealed to the world."
