A sudden gust of wind arose at the top of the central observation tower of the steel bridge.
The raging messenger eagle, its entire body crackling with blinding deep blue lightning.
Tearing through the clouds with a sharp, piercing roar of thunder, it was like a blue meteorite falling from the sky, hurtling straight towards the center of the observation deck!
A violent high-voltage arc crackled and popped in the air.
They even scorched the hard metal railings around the top of the tower until they faintly glowed with a charred red light!
"Hmph! You ignorant, feathered beast!"
Zabuza Momochi's eyes flashed with ferocity as he swung the heavy black iron sword, weighing several tons, with one hand, ready to step down and slash!
" Zabuza, take it back."
Senju Kenya casually raised his left arm, gently pressing down Zabuza's sword strike:
"Just a messenger, don't you dare dirty my observation deck."
Before he could finish speaking...
Kenya, wearing flip-flops, casually extended his right hand as the blinding lightning bolts rushed towards him.
With his five fingers forming claws, a deep, pure black Armament Haki instantly covered his palm like mercury spilling onto the ground!
"Smack!"
A crisp, dull sound of flesh gripping stood out starkly against the raging thunder.
Kenya's large hand precisely grabbed the Thunder Eagle's feet!
That violent, leaping surge of high-pressure Lightning Release Chakra was enough to instantly turn a Special Jōnin jonin into charred remains.
The instant he made contact with the dark gold Haki emanating from Kenya's palm.
"Sizzle--!"
It was like a drop of boiling water falling into the polar ice that had remained frozen for millions of years!
Flower Capital could ignite it.
It was crushed and annihilated by the extreme physical pressure in Kenya's palm!
The homing hawk let out a mournful cry filled with a human-like fear.
With a loosening of his grip, the heavy, cold scroll of pure lightning gold slid down and was caught in Kenya's hand with one hand.
Then, the hawk, terrified, flapped its wings frantically, not daring to look back, and hastily tore through the rain curtain, fleeing towards the northern horizon.
"High-purity conductive regin, a specialty of the Land of Lightning?"
Kenya weighed the heavy gold slip in his hand, turning it around like a brick.
On the surface of the gold tablet is engraved a majestic cloud pattern emblem of a raging thunderbolt.
It exudes an overwhelming aura of brutality and ruthlessness.
Mei Terumi stepped forward lightly, her high-slit long dress swaying gently, her beautiful, shimmering eyes landing on Jin Jian.
An unprecedented solemnity gradually appeared on his face:
"This is the highest-ranking wartime official document from Kumogakure... a personal edict from the Fourth Raikage A, A."
Mei Terumi extended her slender fingers and gently brushed away the sealing wax on the golden slip.
Her red lips parted slightly, and she read the contents aloud word by word:
[To Fifth Hokage Tsunade of the Land of Fire; Mei Terumi, the Fifth Mizukage of the Land of Water; and Kenya of the Senju Clan-- Kenya
The letter begins with the Fourth Raikage A, speaking in an almost roaring, ferocious tone:
[ Senju Kenya, with his unbridled use of weapons, crippled our elite delegation from Kumogakure sent to Konoha. His crime deserves death!]
[Later, he illegally amassed wealth, privately built a cross-sea bridge, and violently interfered in the Land of Water, completely undermining the strategic balance of the Five Great Nations established by the First Hokage!]
[Such actions are no different from those of Orochimaru, the villain who endangers the entire Shinobi World!]
In the latter part of the letter, the Raikage dropped all diplomatic pretense and issued an ultimatum:
[ The Land of Lightning hereby initiates the highest arbitration procedure!]
[The Kage of the Five Great Shinobi Villages are ordered to gather in the permanently Shinobi World Land of Iron for an emergency joint conference of the Five Kage!]
[Reassessing the responsibility for the internal strife in Konoha and the upheaval in the Land of Water!]
[If you do not go to the Land of Iron for trial within three days... the Land of Lightning and the Land of Earth will form a comprehensive strategic alliance, imposing an indefinite military blockade on both land and sea against the Lands of Fire and Water!]
Read to the end of the letter.
Standing to the side, Shizune's face turned pale with fright, and the pink Tonton in her arms curled up into a ball.
"The Five... Five Kage Summit?!"
" The Raikage is actually going to gather all the leaders of the major powers in a neutral country?!"
Shizune wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, jumping up and down in a panic:
"Young Kenya, this is clearly aimed at you!"
"So many elite troops from the Land of Lightning have died; the Raikage, with his fiery temper, will definitely not let this go!"
"If the Tsuchikage of Iwagakure joins in the commotion, it could turn into a united condemnation of us from the entire Shinobi World!"
Mei Terumi gently tucked her red hair behind her ear, her expression unusually serious.
" Shizune is right, Kenya- kun."
Mei Terumi stepped forward, her beautiful eyes shimmering with a hint of genuine worry:
" The Fourth Raikage A, was a notorious war maniac, whose Taijutsu and speed were unparalleled in the Shinobi World."
"And Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki of Iwagakure, is an old fox who has lived for nearly a hundred years and possesses the bloodline limit ' Dust Release Kekkei Tōta, ' which can turn all matter into dust."
Mei Terumi gritted her teeth and whispered her advice:
" The Land of Iron is a land of samurai, Admiral Mifune commands tens of thousands of elite, heavily armed swordsmen skilled in iaido."
"Holding a meeting there, in an unfamiliar place, what if they gang up on you during the meeting, or even set a trap to kill you..."
"Why don't Tsunade and I mediate in the name of the Fifth Hokage, and you go back to your old Konoha residence to lay low for a while?"
He listened to the two women's worried advice.
Standing at the very edge of the observation deck, Senju Kenya couldn't help but let the corners of his mouth slowly turn up in a smile.
at last.
"Puhahaha--!!"
A burst of unrestrained, wild, and almost arrogant laughter suddenly erupted from Kenya's throat!
The vibrations caused the steel cables of the entire cross-sea bridge to vibrate and hum violently!
Kenya stuffed the white jade pipe into his mouth and exhaled a large puff of thick, pungent, bluish-white smoke.
He lowered his head, looking at the Pure Thunder Gold Kingdom Book in his hand, which was regarded as the law by countless people.
His five fingers suddenly tightened!
"Buzz!"
A surge of pure black Armament Haki instantly erupted and enveloped the area!
"Click-click-click--!!"
That scroll, forged from the highest-grade Chakra gold of the Land of Lightning, is said to be indestructible for ten thousand years.
Under Kenya's terrifying grip strength, which had reached its absolute peak.
It was like a fragile, dried-out biscuit, squeezed until it crumbled and deformed inch by inch!
at last.
With a loud "bang!"
Under the completely petrified gazes of Mei Terumi and Shizune.
That highest invitation to the Five Kage Summit was casually crushed by Kenya into a shapeless, solid ball of scrap iron!
Kenya flicked his finger.
"Whoosh--Thump!"
The iron ball transformed into a streak of black light and plunged directly into the vast ocean below the bridge, Flower Capital.
"Avoid the limelight? Those two words don't even exist in my dictionary."
Kenya turned around, his floral shirt billowing open in the sea breeze, revealing his massive, hard, black-gold muscles, as imposing as a sacred mountain of black iron.
He bit his pipe, his eyes gleaming with a ferocious, bloodthirsty fighting spirit like that of an ancient demon god.
" The Five Kage Summit? A trap?"
"A bunch of old bones discarded from the last era, just huddling together for warmth."
Kenya grinned, revealing a set of large, even, white teeth, exuding an aura of Haki.
"Now that they've set up the stage, if I don't go, wouldn't it make me look disrespectful?"
