Chapter 462 Uchiha Madara
The Land of Hot Springs is a supervolcano. According to an investigation by the Hidden Stone Village in the Land of Earth, the supervolcano in the Land of Hot Springs erupted once a thousand years ago. The eruption was around level 6. The volcanic ash that erupted settled in the Land of Fire, transforming the land into a fertile region.

In itself, the Yugoku supervolcano is currently very safe and will not erupt again for at least 600,000 years.

Moreover, the tens of thousands of geothermal vents in the Land of Hot Water release heat and pressure from the underground lava every moment. Without external human intervention, it would be difficult to burst the "acne" hidden beneath the continental plate of the Land of Hot Water.

The Land of Hot Water is generally higher than the Land of Fire and the Land of Lightning to the north, but the terrain of the entire country is relatively flat. Hundreds of thousands of years ago, the supervolcano of the Land of Hot Water also experienced slow magma activity, which shaped the surface of the Land of Hot Water into a flat area.

“We can use ninjutsu to carve out a lava pressure relief tunnel underground, which can be built all the way to the sea. We can even use this lava to build a land bridge connecting the Land of Water to the mainland,” Kakashi said, gesturing to the map of the ninja world.

Kakashi looked at Rōshi, the Four-Tails Jinchūriki behind Ōnoki. It was Rōshi who had completed the investigation of the supervolcano in the Land of Hot Springs.

The four-tailed beast provided its jinchūriki with the Lava Release ability, and Roshi got along well with the four-tailed beast, even developing the Lava Release chakra mode.

When Roshi activates Lava Release Chakra Mode, his entire body is enveloped in high-temperature lava, allowing him to move freely within the magma and even control lava in the natural environment.

If Kakashi's proposal is adopted at the meeting, channeling the magma will become an important task for Roshi, the Four-Tails Jinchuriki.

Kakashi scanned the attendees in the venue and found that, apart from the three-tailed beast that had returned to the wild, all the jinchūriki who had sealed the eight tailed beasts were present.

Gaara, the One-Tailed Jinchuriki, and the Fifth Kazekage;
Yukimon Nii, the Jinchūriki of the Two-Tails, a Jonin from Kumogakure;

Rōshi, the Jinchūriki of the Four-Tails, was a Jonin (high-ranking ninja) from Iwagakure (Hidden Stone Village).

The Five-Tailed Jinchuuriki Han, the Jonin of Iwagakure Village;

Uta, the Six-Tails Jinchuriki, was a rogue ninja from Kirigakure.
The Nanao Jinchuurifu, a ninja from Takigakure Village;
The eight-tailed jinchuriki Rabbi, the Kumogakure village jounin;

Naruto Uzumaki, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, is a Jonin of Konoha.

Kakashi noticed that while the five Kage were having their meeting in the middle, the Tailed Beasts were also secretly having their own little meeting below, though it was difficult for others to notice their subtle actions.

"Is building a land bridge so that you can easily advance and invade the heart of the Land of Water?" Mizukage Mei Terumi asked bluntly.

“I’m just considering providing the Land of Water with a second mode of transportation. Your Hidden Mist Village can only communicate with the outside world by boat, right?” Kakashi said.

"The risks exist, but the benefits outweigh the drawbacks."

“Especially in the era after the war.” Kakashi said, looking at Pain.

Kakashi could clearly sense that among the six puppets, Pain's signal transmission was the most frequent, indicating that the puppet controlled by the mastermind was the most important and the strongest.

"The supervolcano in the Land of Hot Water is a terrifying super time bomb, but it can also be transformed into an important resource for land reclamation."

"Let the lava flow into the sea, and after it cools, it will become new land, right?"

"Same thing."

"The abundant moisture in the Land of Rain is blocked by high mountains at the border of the Land of Earth, which is why the moisture turns into rain in the Land of Rain. If a passage is opened by blocking the mountains, then some of the moisture can travel straight into the Land of Earth and bring rain to the Land of Earth."

"Don't you all feel that the land we live on has been altered by human hands?" Kakashi asked the people present.

"Just like the vast, dense forests of our Land of Fire, a large part of them were artificially created by the First Hokage, Hashirama, using his Wood Release techniques."

“Doesn’t the legend provide the answer? The Sage of Six Paths changed our land a thousand years ago,” Onoki said. “Assuming the legend is true, then the volcanic eruption in the Land of Hot Springs a thousand years ago was also related to the Sage of Six Paths,” Kakashi said.

"Legend has it that the Sage of Six Paths distributed chakra among the people, hoping that everyone could be connected through chakra."

"Who could have imagined that this move would be the beginning of a thousand-year war that plunged the land into chaos?"

"The Sage of Six Paths is deeply sinful!" Kakashi slammed his hand on the conference table.

Kakashi Hatake secretly observed Pain's expression; the other's expression remained unchanged from the beginning.

"I think I'm a little late."

A person dressed in the same manner as the group from Amegakure slowly emerged from the conference table, appearing like a ghost and standing on it.

The other person was wearing a mask, so their face was obscured.

"Rain Shadow, is this one of your people?" Onoki looked at Konan, gesturing for her to tell her people not to cause trouble during the meeting.

"Let me introduce myself. I am a partner of Amegakure, and my name is Uchiha Madara." Uchiha Obito introduced himself with his hand on his chest.

“This is truly a momentous ninja world meeting. How can we not have the Three-Tails Jinchuriki absent?” Obito Uchiha said.

"Did Kirigakure lose the Three-Tails?!" Onoki asked, and all eyes in the hall turned to the Fifth Mizukage, Mei Terumi.

"Please, Mr. Uchiha Madara, summon the Three-Tails Jinchuriki from your Amegakure."

"Hey, come on, Fourth Mizukage."

The Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi, who was resurrected through Edo Tensei and used as a vessel for the Three-Tailed Isobu, entered the venue.

The people of Kirigakure were immediately shocked; the deceased Fourth Mizukage had been resurrected!
Obito Uchiha claimed to be Madara Uchiha. Among those present, only Onoki knew this name. However, Onoki did not believe that Obito Uchiha was Madara Uchiha. But when the deceased Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi, appeared, Onoki had to doubt whether the masked man was really Madara Uchiha.

Kakashi Hatake stared at Obito Uchiha's mask, trying to use his magnetic field power to penetrate it and see Obito's true face.

Unfortunately, Kakashi Hatake sensed nothing. The space where Obito Uchiha was located was empty, as if "Madara Uchiha" was just a very real projection.

"I overheard a conversation just now. The Sixth Hokage was talking about reclaiming land from the sea. So, which country owns this newly created land? The Land of Water, the Land of Hot Water, the Land of Fire, or the Land of Lightning?"

"Do we need to resort to war again to resolve the issue of ownership of the new land?" Obito Uchiha asked loudly, standing on the conference table.

"Now that we've started discussing how to change this land, we shouldn't divide regions by national concepts anymore."

"Abolish the concept of the nation and unify the land."

"If you really are Uchiha Madara, you should agree with my idea, right? I've reviewed the minutes of the first Five Kage Summit, and you made similar remarks." Kakashi looked at Uchiha Obito.

"Kakashi Hatake, don't go too far!" Onoki shouted.
