In the Land of Iron, the meeting place of the Five Kage is shaped like a giant pyramid.
Led by a group of samurai clad in iron armor, the Konoha group entered the massive fortress.
Upon entering the hall, Shinsei saw Deidara standing dejectedly next to the Tsuchikage.
After he saw the group from Konoha enter the hall, he glared fiercely at Shinsei.
Shinsei didn't mind his gaze at all; on the contrary, he greeted him warmly.
"Hi! Deidara, long time no see! I didn't expect to run into you here."
"Damn it!" Deidara, with Kurotsuchi pulling his sleeve, ignored Shinjō and turned his face away.
It seems that Ōnoki really does have a way to control Deidara.
Tsunade sat down at an empty table, with her three disciples standing behind her.
The Sunagakure in the Land of Wind does not currently have Kazekage; instead, their elder, Chiyo, has arrived.
Mei Terumi, the Mizukage of Kirigakure, had previously met Tsunade, so she moved closer to Tsunade and began to chat enthusiastically.
The Raikage looked exceptionally muscular, his muscles seemingly about to explode.
He stared blankly at the center of the arena with a serious expression, his hands resting on the table, revealing thick steel wrist guards.
Behind him stood a similarly burly man with short white hair, holding a pencil and scribbling in a small notebook, muttering something to himself.
Shinsei had read his file and knew that he was the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki from Kumogakure, a self-proclaimed Perfect Jinchuriki who was also a rapper— Killer B.
It's unexpected that the Raikage brought him along; it seems he's still worried about leaving Killer B alone in the ninja village.
Sensing Shinsei's gaze, the Raikage looked over and asked loudly, "Are you Shinsei, the rising genius of Konoha?"
Raikage's voice was as rugged as his face, "So you're the one who said I'm a brute who's built muscles into his brain?"
Shinsei was taken aback; he hadn't said that. Although that was indeed his stereotypical impression of the Raikage.
"I wonder if Raikage has some misunderstanding about me?" Shinsei asked.
The Raikage placed his hands on the table, giving Shinsei a vicious look:
"You wretched brat! You dare not admit it? If it weren't for your young age, I would definitely give you a good beating."
This person probably has some kind of problem, but Shinsei won't tolerate him.
"I didn't say what you said before, Raikage. But judging from your current state, you weren't wrong. If you want to fight, Raikage, I'm willing to oblige."
As the village chief, it would be beneath me to fight a brat like you!
Raikage stood up abruptly, leaning forward and staring into Shinsei's eyes:
"You brat! You've successfully angered me. Don't cry if I hurt you!"
Shinsei stepped forward, his eyes showing no fear. "I hope Raikage will keep his word."
Since becoming a ninja, I have never tasted defeat. If Raikage can do that, I will not only not cry, but I will be extremely grateful.
Unfortunately, Lord Raikage doesn't yet possess that strength!
Shinsei's words were soft yet barbed; he showed no fear whatsoever in the face of the mighty Kage of the village, which surprised Mifune.
Although the Land of Iron also pays attention to some news from the Shinobi World, its intelligence network is not as efficient as that of the individual villages.
For a moment, the air seemed to be filled with the Yakumi.
Tsunade crossed her arms and looked her disciples Shinsei and Raikage up and down. Instead of standing up for her disciples, her eyes were filled with expectation.
Mizukage Mei Terumi witnessed Shinsei's skills firsthand, and she knew that the rumors about Shinjō were completely true. She didn't try to dissuade him, but instead looked at Shinsei with her beautiful eyes overflowing with tenderness.
Ōnoki sat on a high stool, watching Shinsei and the Fourth Raikage with great interest. He wondered what it would be like if these two ninjas, known for their speed, clashed.
He hated both of them; he hoped they would fight and both be severely injured.
Killer B Bee showed no intention of advising his older brother. Instead, behind the Raikage, he gripped a pencil and diligently began writing lyrics, muttering to himself:
"Yo yo,"
Don't be afraid of the kids from Konoha.
My older brother was a little embarrassed.
The situation made him lose face.
Will he turn around and beat me to a pulp?
Why don't we have a match right now?
If you lose, you have to call the other person "daddy".
Yeah!
The Raikage's face twitched more and more. He turned around and punched Killer B on the head. " Killer B! Stop writing your crappy rap!"
Mifune hurriedly pounded on the table. " Raikage, please control your temper! Please be mindful of your seniority! Today is the day for the Five Kage Summit to deal with the Akatsuki and rescue the Two-Tails Jinchūriki, Yugito!"
Perhaps upon hearing Yugito's name, the Raikage took a few heavy breaths and sat back down. Tsunade, seeing that the Raikage had controlled his temper, made no attempt to hide her disappointment.
Shinsei noticed his teacher's expression and assumed it was because his teacher had lost a match to the Raikage in the past and wanted his disciple to win back the favor.
The Raikage scanned the crowd, then fixed his gaze on Ōnoki: " The Akatsuki grew stronger overnight, and they have missing-nin from your four villages. You must take responsibility for this."
Especially you, Tsuchikage, the one standing next to you is a member of the Akatsuki.
If you don't give me an explanation, you'll see the army of the Kumogakure in the Land of Earth!
Ōnoki snorted, ignoring the Raikage's angry expression. "This is my disciple Deidara. He went undercover in Akatsuki on my orders, and now that his mission is complete, he's just returned."
Upon hearing Ōnoki's words, the Raikage roared in fury and slammed his right fist into the table in front of him, shattering it to pieces. " Ōnoki! Do you think I'm some immature brat? You might fool others with such words, but you won't fool me!"
Your Iwakage Village has hired quite a few Akatsuki! If you don't return Yugito to me intact, I will lead a large army to Iwakage Village to demand his return!
Before Ōnoki could speak, Deidara blurted out, "Haha, Yugito is definitely not coming back! The boss must have extracted his Chakra! If you're fast enough, you might be able to retrieve her body."
"Ah!!" The Raikage roared, his body surging with blue Chakra as he instantly charged towards Deidara.
The burly man, Akatsuchi, standing beside the Tsuchikage, pressed his hands to the ground, and an earthen wall rose up, blocking the Raikage's path.
A loud "bang!"
The Raikage's body passed right through the earthen wall, and at that moment, Ōnoki had already placed his hand on Deidara's body. The two of them floated in the air, and white Chakra shone between Ōnoki's hands, forming a diamond-shaped beam of light that was aimed at the Raikage on the ground.
Shinjō quietly activated his Sharingan, staring at the white Chakra in Ōnoki's hand.
Is this the legendary Dust Release?
It is said to be the most lethal Ninjutsu Kekkei Mōra.
