Gou in the ninja world

Chapter 73 The Fourth Five Shadow Meeting

While Yukimura was slowly improving his strength while carefully planning his future life trajectory, at this moment, in another place in Konoha Village...

Snapped!
Tsunade took big steps, crossed the corridor, rushed into Hokage's office like a gust of wind, and threw a large stack of documents on Hiruzaru Sarutobi's desk.

"Here's today's report."

After finishing speaking, she sat down on the chair next to her, picked up the water glass and took a sip of water, then let out a long sigh of relief, and then turned her gaze back to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"It's all right, old man."

"En." Hiruzaru Sarutobi stretched out his hand, took out a copy from the top of the document, opened it and looked at it, and nodded slightly while looking at it.

"Thank you, Tsunade."

About half a minute later, Hiruzaru Sarutobi put the documents away again, put them in the drawer, raised his head with a satisfied smile on his face.

Since Tsunade finally got over his phobia three months ago, Konoha has started to prepare for the handover of Hokage. However, the resignation of the old Hokage and the appointment of the new Hokage are not so easy, and it will take a long time. After all, this is the succession of a village leader, and it is not a play. In order to ensure that the new Hokage can adapt to the work of Hokage immediately after taking office, the new Hokage needs to learn from the old Hokage for a period of time.

So in these three months, Tsunade has been learning from Sarutobi Hiruzen to handle government affairs and gradually take over the large and small confidential matters in Konoha Village. The commander who is in charge is not particularly unfamiliar with government affairs, and has basically mastered the operation of the entire Muye Village in just a few months.

"In this way, we can leave with peace of mind."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was very happy. Now that Tsunade can handle government affairs alone, he can start the next step.

The content of the plan is to gather forces in the ninja world to deal with Akatsuki without revealing too much information.

In fact, since a few months ago, that is, when he heard the news of Gokage Mizukage's coming to power, Sarutobi Hiruzen has been planning to hold a Gokage meeting for two main purposes.

The first purpose is to determine the life and death status of Obito.In the entire Akatsuki organization, there are three most important people, Nagato who has the eyes of reincarnation, Obito who is responsible for the specific implementation of the plan, and Hei Ze who hides behind the scenes.

Among them, the main body of Nagato has been huddled in the base camp of Urenin Village for many years, guarded by Xiaonan, and basically does not go out very much. To deal with it, even if you have enough information, if you want to deal with the combination of Nagato and Konan, you must dispatch at least three fighters equivalent to Hokage, and if you really fight, the possibility of causing casualties is quite high, so, do it well. Before sufficient preparations, the senior management of Konoha Village agreed that they should not attack Yuren Village rashly, otherwise it may cause the same situation as Danzo back then.

As for Heijue, let alone Heijue, the younger brother of Sage of the Six Paths, other than his identity, his ability is basically a mystery. Even Yukimura doesn't know what kind of tricks he has, but he can hide it from Otsutsuki Yuyi and Otsutsuki Yumura. With eyes, you can tell that Heijue has a strong level of concealment at least, and it is not an exaggeration to be on guard against such a conspirator who secretly provokes a war between Indra and Asura for hundreds of thousands of years.

Fortunately, he will not make a formal move in order to hide his identity, and he will not expose himself easily because of a little fluctuation because he has not been exposed for thousands of years. Just to startle the snake casually, to be on the safe side, we can only let the culprit go first, let him think that his plan is going smoothly.

After removing two important people, Obito is the only one left. Among the three, Obito is difficult to deal with, but he can be said to be fully equipped in terms of evasion due to his divine power, but he It is also a slightly partial type. The attack is not comprehensive, and there is no strong offensive ninjutsu. As long as you know the characteristics of his ninjutsu, although you may not be able to win, it is relatively easy to save your life.

In addition, Obito is also the only person who has been exposed so far. Apart from keeping his true identity secret, he is not afraid of arousing the suspicion of Heijue if he takes some targeted actions. Moreover, he is the only one who is alive and dead among the three. If you want to To make precise plans for the future situation, it is naturally necessary to have information about Obito.

Therefore, Konoha must learn about the beginning and end of the water shadow replacement from Kirigakure for further analysis and processing.

In addition, the second purpose of holding the Five Kages Conference is of course also to gather strength.

Nowadays, the relationship between the five major ninja countries is actually very chaotic.

Because of the three ninja world wars, there have been decades of fighting and fighting between countries and ninjas. During this period of time, countless hatreds and deaths were born.

Konoha and cloud hidden, Konoha and rock hidden, Konoha and fog hidden, Konoha and sand hidden, rock hidden and cloud hidden, fog hidden and rock hidden, fog hidden and sand hidden... the interests of each ninja village Driven by ambition and ambition, they have fought for years, with heavy casualties, and each other has a lot of grievances, intrigues between countries, and conflicts between people.

Under such circumstances, it is difficult to form a united ninja coalition to fight Akatsuki like in the original book.

Because unlike the original book, without enough pressure and evidence, the other four shadows would not trust Konoha, who was once an enemy, at all.

Therefore, it is impossible for Sarutobi Hiruzen to call everyone together to deal with Akatsuki like in the original book, which is unrealistic.

However, he can first inform all parties about the existence of Obito, so that the four shadows of other countries will know that there is such a mysterious figure coveting the tailed beasts in various villages.

The Tailed Beast and Jinchuriki are the ultimate weapons in Ninja Village. If they know of the existence of such a person, even if Konoha doesn't say anything, the other four shadows will try their best to provide proper protection for Jinchuriki, and at the same time, they can also stop some Akatsuki work process.

This is the purpose of the Five Kages meeting this time. For this, Sarutobi Hiruzen sent invitation letters to the other Four Kages a week ago. Of course, for the sake of fairness, the venue for the Five Kages meeting cannot be arranged in Among the five major countries, they also request the Iron Country to be a neutral country as before, and undertake the organization and reception work of the five shadow talks.

In this regard, the Iron Country is relatively easy to talk about. Holding the Five Kages Conference is also a way to show the national strength and status of the Iron Country. After a short thought, they almost immediately agreed to Sarutobi Hiruzen's request, but the other few Big countries are different.

In the original book, the Five Kages meeting requested by Raikage was successfully held immediately because Akatsuki's act of catching tailed beasts threatened the collective interests of the five major countries at the same time. Now, although Akage's plan has not changed, this On the timeline, only Konoha and Kirigakure are threatened. It is not even known whether Kirigakure knows that their fourth generation of Mizukage is controlled by others.

Under such circumstances, whether the other three major powers will watch the fire from the other side or empathize with it is an uncertain proposition.

However, to Sarutobi Hiruzen's surprise, although there were some criticisms at the beginning, after some hesitation and discussion, within three days, Konoha Village still received confirmation letters from various countries. , agreed to attend the Five Kages meeting to be held half a month later.

"It seems that Tuying, Fengying and Leiying also have their own ideas."

Looking at the letter in his hand, Hiruzaru Sarutobi murmured.

"Lei Ying's idea is easier to guess."

Jilai also said that among the five shadows, Lei Ying has the biggest temper and a reckless personality. He likes to do things straight and does not go around much. The city is not as deep as the other shadows. Although he is ambitious, he is the easiest one to be seen through. .

"Probably because of the eight tails."

Tsunade nodded, and took over the conversation.

Rabbi Eight-Tails Jinzhu Riki is the younger brother of the Fourth Raikage. Although he is not a real brother, he is closer than a real brother.

Among all Jinchuriki and Kage, the relationship between the two of them is considered the best couple, so after knowing that someone has shot Kyuubi, it is normal for Raikage to be worried about Hachio. Therefore, Raikage's purpose of participating in the meeting should be I just want to get some information about the masked man from Konoha.

As for Kazekage, it is probably because of the relationship between the Allies. Although Konoha and Sand Hidden fought a Konoha collapse war on the original timeline, it was five years later. The relationship between the two has not broken down at this stage. Since He is an ally, and under the condition that he will not pose a threat to himself, Sand Yin will not oppose Konoha's proposal on the surface for the time being.

Of course, Nara Shikahisa also pointed out that Sand Hidden may use this as a basis afterwards to request some material assistance.

"Makes sense."

Sarutobi Hiruzen thought for a while, and expressed that he agreed with Nara Shikahisa's opinion. It is well known that Sagakushi's economy has not been good in the past few years. Almost all financial resources have to be provided by Sidai Kazekage alone (Shenhao Luosa) , but the land of the wind country is vast and sparsely populated, and there is not much land that can be used. Coupled with the harsh environment, even basic living resources are scarce. Even if you have enough money, you may not be able to buy enough supplies , so it is very necessary to import resources from the outside world, and the Land of Fire has a vast land and abundant resources, with a large number of mountains, plains, and flowing water in its territory. What the Land of Wind lacks is nothing to the Land of Fire.

Therefore, the reason why the Fourth Kazekage is so active is probably because he wants to obtain some things from the Fire Nation afterwards.

Hiruza Sarutobi has no objection to this point, because he himself intends to go to the original work through some channels, on the one hand, to prevent Saken from jumping over the wall and attacking Konoha like the original work, and on the other hand, it can be regarded as a kind of emotional investment. , the future enemies are Heijue and Otsutsuki Kaguya, and the power of Sa Yin will definitely be used at that time, and giving Sa Yin some help at this time is not considered an enemy.

On the other hand, Tukage...

"Onoki is an old fox, no one can guess his thoughts."

Turning to the bed Koharu said so, the third generation of Tsuchikage Onoki is an old man of the same age as Sarutobi Hiruzen, a wily old antique. When he was young, he had seen the first generation of Hokage Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara. He was very far-sighted. Sufficient interests will not do it easily.

And the rock ninja under his leadership is equally ambitious, has an extraordinary aggressiveness, and is very good at attacking when others are not paying attention.

In the previous ninja battles, Iwanin seldom failed except for being defeated by Namikaze Minato a few times, which also shows the superiority of Onogi's leadership.

"I suspect that Tuying may take this opportunity to attack several other villages."

Tsunade thought for a while and came up with an idea.

"You mean, raid Ninja Village while the other four shadows are gone?"

Ji Lai also asked, is this unlikely?

"It's not necessarily an attack." Tsunade shook his head. It is a taboo to attack other villages during the Five Kage talks. If such a thing really happens, the Land of Earth will definitely suffer fierce retaliation. Unless Onogi is crazy, otherwise It is impossible to do this. Although Iwanin is not weak, it is impossible to resist the siege of several villages at the same time.

"However, intelligence, resources, weapons, ninjutsu, and even blood-stained boundaries may become their targets." Tsunade said in a deep voice. It is impossible for Iwanin to attack aggressively, but it does not mean that they will not make other small moves, sneaking Get some black hands and grab something, as long as you don't reveal your identity, the other villages can't do anything about them.

"Makes sense."

Hiruzaru Sarutobi pondered for a while, and had to say that according to his understanding of Onoki, the other party was someone who would do such a thing.

"So, for the Five Kages meeting this time, Tsunade and Jiraiya will stay in the village."

He ordered that at any time, the village must retain three Hokage-level combat powers. This is not only to prevent the other four countries, but also to prevent Akatsuki from taking advantage of this opportunity.

"I'll just take Lujiu and Fuyue there."

For a long time, the Five Kage talks have been carried out in the form of peaceful meetings. Although there is intrigue between the two shadows, no matter how big the conflict between the two parties is, they will try their best to restrain themselves from doing anything during the Five Kage talks. Habit is also a kind of willingness to pursue peace that has been handed down from the first five shadow talks.

With such a symbolic meaning, at least during the meeting of the five shadows, the five majors would not do anything to the participating shadows, otherwise it would be a big taboo.

Therefore, Hiruzaru Sarutobi does not need to bring many masters, it is enough to have Uchiha Fugaku and Zhuanju Koharu to accompany him.

"understood."

Tsunade and Jiraiya nodded together.

"Then, let's get ready!"

Accompanied by Sarutobi Hiruzen's order, at the beginning of Konoha's 56, the fourth five-kage meeting slowly kicked off.

Finally, Xiao, the mysterious organization that had been hidden in the original work for many years, unveiled its mysterious veil several years in advance.

　I won’t dwell on the specifics of the Five Kage talks, I’ll just explain a little bit later, and the next chapter skips directly to the 60th year of Konoha.
