Naruto, your uncle is going to be Hokage!

Among the five great ninja villages, Sunagakure is not considered the strongest, but it is definitely not a village that ordinary ninja villages can contend with!

The five great ninja villages are all powerful enough to make smaller ninja villages tremble.

What kind of enemy could make Sunagakure set aside its pride and actively seek help from Konoha?

"Is the Kazekage of Sunagakure serious? The four great nations have already formed an alliance, and he's asking Konoha for help at this time. Isn't he afraid of being attacked by the other three nations?"

This was something Kakashi found hard to understand.

The alliance of the four great nations is common knowledge in the ninja world, and Konoha is their enemy.

Ask Konoha for help?

Ask their enemies for help?

There is only one possibility.

The situation has reached an extremely critical point.

The crisis forced the Kazekage to humble himself and, disregarding the attacks from other ninja villages, to seek help from Konoha.

"Judging from this letter of appeal, the enemy that attacked Sunagakure was Akatsuki. There were only two of them, but they used the ability of flying ninja beasts to cause great damage to Sunagakure."

As Kakashi read the contents of the letter, his expression gradually turned serious.

Is it the Akatsuki organization?

He roughly understood what the Kazekage of Sunagakure was thinking.

They knew that the leader, Pain, was the one who possessed the Sage's Eye.

The only one in the ninja world who could rival him was probably Namikaze Mirai, who was by his side.

Sunagakure wanted to ask Mirai Namikaze to suppress the threat posed by Akatsuki!

"Future Lord, are you going to provide support?"

Kakashi looked at Mirai Namikaze standing beside him.

He didn't understand Bofeng's future thoughts.

The Sand Village is an enemy of the Leaf Village, and now they have sent a letter requesting assistance. What decision will the Fifth Hokage make?

His question didn't last long.

"Kakashi, Guy, I'm entrusting the repair work of this building to you. I hope to see you finish repairing it before I return."

It sounded as casual as a word of advice, yet the words carried an undeniable firmness.

Kakashi's lips twitched slightly. A building...

He looked around at the rooftops. The battle with Kai had left the place in a mess. If it weren't for Namikaze Mirai absorbing the out-of-control energy at the end, this building would probably no longer exist.

Repairing a building like this requires a lot of effort.

"Lord Hokage! Don't worry! I guarantee the mission will be completed before you return!"

Kai made the promise as if he had been injected with adrenaline.

Kakashi was speechless.

Kai, you idiot, do you know how long it will take to repair this building?

But since Kai had already made a promise, he naturally couldn't refuse.

"understood."

Its dead fish eyes rolled upwards, giving a lifeless response.

At this moment, he could only hope that the Akatsuki members could withstand the beating and buy them enough time to repair the building.

After smiling, Mirai Namikaze flashed and turned into a black dot, flying away into the distance.

"Kai, let's get to work. We need to fix this building before the Hokage returns."

Kakashi glanced at Guy beside him and said irritably.

"This is truly exhilarating! Repairing the building is a perfect training exercise!"

Looking at Kai, who was overflowing with youthful passion and energy, Kakashi felt like dying.

Kai, do you know how big this building is?

With just the two of them, how long will it take to fix it?

At this moment, he was filled with frustration.

Why should I fight against Kai?

You've gotten yourself into this mess.

Headache.

……

The Land of Earth, the Earth Shadow Room, gray and dusty like an upside-down ice cream cone.

The Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, rubbed his temples, looking at the letter from Sunagakure pleading for help placed on the Tsuchikage's table.

Just now, this letter was delivered to Iwagakure Village at an extremely urgent speed.

The letter contained information about an attack on Sunagakure and the Fifth Kazekage's request for assistance from Iwagakure.

Yekura spoke urgently, repeatedly emphasizing that the situation in Sunagakure was extremely critical.

Onoki didn't know what to choose.

According to the alliance of the four countries, if any one of them is in trouble, the other three countries have an obligation to provide assistance.

Logically, he should provide support.

However, the enemy is Akatsuki.

Ōnoki knew very little about Akatsuki.

All we know is that the leader of Akatsuki is Pain, who possesses the Sage's Eyes!

When Mirai Namikaze intended to overthrow the rule of the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, he sent Hikari, who was supporting the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, and witnessed Mirai Namikaze's battle with that person.

powerful!

Ineffably powerful!

In Onoki's memory, only figures like Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju possessed such terrifying power.

Of course, Pain and Madara were still somewhat inferior to Hashirama, but they were by no means ordinary ninjas who could contend with them.

Supporting Sunagakure would inevitably offend such a terrifying being.

Ohnoki was caught in a dilemma.

In the original work, Pain made no attempt to conceal Akatsuki's plan to capture the Tailed Beasts.

However, in this timeline, due to the existence of Namikaze Future, Nagato suffered repeated setbacks and became more cautious in his actions, without revealing Akatsuki's purpose in capturing the Tailed Beasts.

Unaware of Akatsuki's motives, Onoki only considered the attack as a personal feud between Akatsuki and Sunagakure.

If he knew that the tailed beasts of Iwagakure were also being targeted, his attitude would naturally be different.

Just as he was struggling with this decision.

呲呲!

Suddenly, the television screen in the shadow studio started displaying static, projecting an image.

The Fourth Raikage's rugged upper body appeared on the screen, sitting at the Raikage's desk with a solemn expression.

"Tsuchikage, I think you must have received the letter from Sunagakure requesting reinforcements, right?"

"Raikage, as expected, you received it too."

Ohnoki pondered for a moment.

Just as he had expected, since it was a request for help, Sunagakure would not only ask Iwagakure for help.

As expected, the neighboring Hidden Cloud Village also received a request for help from the Hidden Sand Village.

As for Kirigakure, one of the three great nations, it is far across the sea, and its current situation is unknown.

"Tsuchikage, what are your thoughts?"

Ai asked in a deep voice on the screen.

"Raikage, what do you mean by this? The Sand Village is in trouble, and as allies, of course we should help them."

No sooner had Onoki finished speaking than he was met with Ai's merciless mockery.

"Hahaha, Onoki, don't think I don't know what you're thinking. You just don't want Iwagakure to go to their aid, and you want to set a trap so that Kumogakure will be the first to go."

Ai saw through his intentions, but Onoki's expression remained unchanged, and he snorted coldly.

"Raikage, isn't your call at this time just a ploy to find out what my Iwagakure is thinking, rather than to provide support yourself? Otherwise, you would have already dispatched Cloud Ninja, so why waste time here with me?"

The conversation between the two fell into an awkward silence.

The air suddenly became quiet.

As both sides stated, neither was willing to provide support, or rather, neither was willing to provide support themselves.
