Upon hearing Shikaku's question, Tsunade paused, hesitating to speak.
It's certainly wrong to doubt one's own people, but the truth of this matter is more important!
Hiashi's expression remained unchanged, seemingly unconcerned by his companion's suspicions, and he replied in a deep voice, " The First Hokage was lucid for a moment during the great battle."
"Perhaps they recognized my eyes, or the Forehead Protector on my head."
"At the critical moment, I was slapped away by the First Hokage's Reanimated Body. It was then that I chose to abandon the mission and barely escaped."
Upon hearing this, Tsunade and the other two lowered their heads, each with a different expression.
With the strength of the First Hokage, he forcibly broke free from the caster's control for a moment...
While this is outrageous, it's not entirely impossible.
In the quiet room, Tsunade continued treating Hiashi in silence, but her thoughts had already drifted far away.
"Such an explanation..."
Mei Terumi frowned as she looked at Haruma, "Even if the Fifth Hokage doesn't doubt Hiashi, wouldn't his suspicions about Kirigakure be even more serious?"
Itachi, standing to the side, was also secretly puzzled.
There are clearly many solutions, but Haruma's approach is certainly not very clever.
Of Hiashi times, the two Japanese players were attacked, and of all times it happened just as they were about to cross the bridge...
Why bring Jiraiya along when it's suggested that the First Hokage and Madara team up for the attack?
The people of Konoha should know that Jiraiya died in the Summoning World.
Rather than explaining to Ye the reason for Konan's disappearance...
The script Hiashi seemed more like a deliberate attempt to make Konoha suspect Kirigakure...
Haruma leaned back in his chair, smiled at the people below, and asked, " Konoha will indeed be more suspicious, but do they have any evidence?"
Seeing the group deep in thought, Haruma crossed her hands behind her head and then smiled, "There's no evidence, just speculation."
Even if Konoha were to tell, how many countries would believe it?
"Wrong,"
After a long pause, a look of horror flashed in Itachi's eyes, "You did this on purpose?!"
"Without any evidence, yet firmly believing that Kirigakure haunted..."
At this point, Itachi looked intently at Haruma, who was smiling but remaining silent, and said in a deep voice, "You want Konoha to continue sending people to infiltrate Kirigakure to collect evidence?"
Itachi spoke with certainty, though it seemed like a question.
This explains why Haruma's move wasn't exactly "clever"!
After Itachi's reminder, everyone in the room realized what was happening and felt a chill run down their spines!
Even with Hiashi and Konan's skills, they haven't yet stepped into the heart of Kirigakure, so Konoha wants to uncover the truth behind it all...
Forcing their way in by force is unrealistic, so the only options are to send in elite ninjas in disguise, or to enter Kirigakure under the guise of trading and remain hidden for an extended period...
The consequences of these Konoha elites entering Kirigakure...
It's easy to imagine.
The sun is shining brightly, and spring is in full bloom.
Inside the meeting room of the former daimyo's residence in the Land of Iron.
The Five Kage took their seats at the round table, their faces serious.
As a representative of neutral countries, Admiral Mifune, who returned a few days ago, sat at the center of the round table, performing the duties of witnessing and overseeing!
Before the Raikage, who initiated the talks, could even speak, Tsunade had already pointed out the strength and danger of the Akatsuki!
Especially when mentioning the First Hokage, the difficulty of Reanimated Body with Madara Uchiha, and the mystery of the mastermind " Obito " behind the scenes!
Looking at Tsunade so confidently, and with Kakashi and Might Guy standing behind her, Mei Terumi, with her keen observation, could vaguely sense the subtle defensiveness from the Konoha side!
Mei Terumi suppressed the slight upturn of her lips, her slender, pale fingers playing with a strand of hair by her ear.
"For more information about the Akatsuki, let's have Uchiha Itachi, who once infiltrated the organization from Kirigakure, explain it to everyone."
After Tsunade finished speaking, she turned her head to look at Itachi, who had been standing behind Mei Terumi with a cold expression.
"Go, and have a good talk with the officials."
Standing beside Itachi, Haruma smiled gently and patted Itachi's shoulder.
Looking at the unusually clear Haruma, Itachi couldn't help but shiver.
This acting is truly...
Just as Itachi slowly began to describe the various abilities of the organization's members, a series of rustling sounds outside the room grew louder!
As the sound approached, a terrifying Chakra drew ever closer!
"Boom boom boom!!"
As the shadows stood ready, the riot from the thick tree trunk instantly overturned the room, which had been renovated several times!
Yamato's Wood Release is used for landscaping, Senju 'Wood Release conquers the world!
Whenever he sees Hashirama use the Deep Forest Emergence, Haruma always feels this way.
"An attack by the Akatsuki?!"
With a loud shout, the Raikage, along with Hi and Darui, brutally shattered the nearby tree trunk!
"Knowing that Five Kage are gathered, they still chose this moment to make their move."
"Looks like we old guys really weren't taken Obito."
With agile movements, he weaved through the gaps between countless attacking branches, and the white-bearded Tu Tsuchikage sighed in mid-air.
" Lava Release: Lava Wall!"
The crimson liquid that Mei Terumi spat out instantly corroded the surrounding twisted tree trunks!
A square barrier constructed of highly corrosive acid protected Haruma and the weasel within!
Gaara, who hadn't uttered a word from beginning to end, summoned a circular Iron Sand defense with a wave of his Temari, and Kankuro within it!
Tsunade, recognizing the Ninjutsu, was filled with murderous intent, and wood chips flew everywhere with each punch and kick!
Kakashi and Might Guy nimbly dodged the attacks, heading straight for the caster outside the tree barrier!
Amidst the constantly trembling ground, the wildly growing ancient trees, and the crimson passage enveloped in lava, Haruma and his companions remained calm.
"It's time for you two to go out and show yourselves."
Haruma turned her head to look at the two of them and said calmly, "In this gathering, only the most powerful villages can take the lead in the attack."
"I don't want to let go of the position of commander-in-chief of the Allied Shinobi Forces."
Mei Terumi nodded, and as she wiped away the Kekkei Genkai, her calm expression instantly turned serious!
Itachi didn't say anything more, but his Mangekyō materialized, and a fiery red giant roared into the sky!
"Boom boom boom!!"
The Perfect Susanoo roared and swung its giant hand, shattering a large area of the tree world!
The Tsuchikage guards, Kurotsuchi and Akatsuchi, who were desperately trying to evade him, looked gratefully toward the direction of Kirigakure.
The Land of Wind's defenses were repeatedly breached, Gaara's team suffered the same fate.
Seeing this, Haruma smiled knowingly and darted out of the tree boundary.
The Five Kage each used their own methods to rush to the edge of the massive tree boundary, and finally saw the outside world clearly!
Besides Hashirama Senju, who was performing ninjutsu at the front of the conference room, Madara Uchiha stood to the side with his arms crossed.
The Second, Third, Fourth Hokage, just the three of them, blocked the main force that had come with the Five Kage outside the Tree World, preventing them from crossing the line!
Meanwhile, Obito Uchiha, floating above the group of Reanimated Body, captivated everyone's attention!
Dressed in a pure black robe, without a mask to conceal his presence, his terrifying aura sent chills down everyone's spines, even from a great distance!
The distant booming explosion startled Killer B and Naruto, who were training in their room.
The two exchanged a glance for a moment, then charged into the battlefield without hesitation!
The training to Perfect Jinchuriki has come to an end; Naruto in his Tailed Beast Transformation is here!
