Infinite: The Main God Space Starting from Naruto

Chapter 185 The Five Kage Summit, The New Reincarnators

Black Zetsu, completely oblivious to anything amiss, continued reporting in his hoarse voice: "According to information gathered by White Zetsu, the five great ninja villages are preparing to hold a Five Kage Summit in the Land of Iron to discuss countermeasures."

"Lord Madara, this is a good opportunity." Black Zetsu's tone carried a hint of probing.

Ban's expression remained unchanged as he tentatively said, "It seems the time is ripe."

"Yes, Lord Madara, as long as we proceed according to plan."

Before Black Zetsu could finish speaking, a fragmented inner voice once again reached Madara's senses: "...The mother sacrifice is finally complete."

Although he only managed to glean a few scattered words, these fragmented phrases deepened Madara's sense of unease. He narrowed his eyes, his gaze sharp as a knife as he stared at Black Zetsu.

Black Zetsu noticed the strange look in Madara's eyes, and his heart skipped a beat. Years of getting along with him had made him extremely sensitive to Madara's every move.

The coldness in Madara's eyes at this moment was completely different from before, as if he had seen through everything.

"Could he have discovered something? Impossible. Even Madara Uchiha couldn't have planned this for so many years," Black Zetsu frantically racked his brains for a solution.

"Black Zetsu," Madara suddenly spoke, a dangerous glint in his voice, "You said you are an extension of my will, is that right?"

Black Zetsu trembled slightly, but quickly regained his composure: "Why would Lord Madara ask such a question? From the moment you created me, I have faithfully carried out your plan, and fighting for your ideals is the only meaning of my existence."

"Do you know what I hate most?" Madara stared at Black Zetsu, his expression calm.

Before Black Zetsu could answer, he continued, "We were deceived."

Black Zetsu shuddered. The most important thing now was to keep Madara calm and not let the plan fail. He immediately strengthened his self-control and suppressed all his emotional fluctuations.

"Lord Madara, what do you mean by this?" Black Zetsu steadied his voice and said slowly, "You know I would never dare to deceive you."

In Madara's Observation Haki perception, Black Zetsu's heart suddenly became like a stagnant pool, completely still.

Madara Uchiha frowned slightly, perhaps because he wasn't yet proficient enough at mastering this new ability, but he already knew enough.

"Continue to monitor the movements of the Five Great Ninja Villages," Madara said calmly, as if nothing had just happened.

"Yes, Lord Madara." Black Zetsu replied respectfully, then sank into the ground and disappeared.

Madara's eyes turned icy as he stared at the spot where Black Zetsu had vanished. Interesting, truly interesting. He had always thought of himself as a player, but it turned out he was just a pawn on someone else's chessboard.

but

"Now that I've transcended the world, it's not certain who the player is and who the pawn is," Madara muttered to himself, a cold glint in his eyes.

For now, we still need Black Zetsu to collect the tailed beasts and gather intelligence. Since that's the case, let it continue to believe that it's still being kept in the dark.

Let me see what you're planning.

Madara's figure flashed, and he shot into the sky like an arrow, flying rapidly towards the Land of Iron.

………………

The Land of Iron, inside the room belonging to the Konoha camp.

Minato stood in the center of the room, holding a specially made kunai in his right hand, his gaze fixed on the Flying Thunder God Technique seal on the wall, his chakra flowing rapidly within his body.

The next second, a touch of orange eyeshadow appeared on her face.

"start!"

Before he could finish speaking, he vanished from his spot, and the next instant, he reappeared beside the spell in the corner. Before he could even regain his footing, he flashed away again.

"laugh!"

"laugh!"

"laugh!"

In an instant, the entire room flashed with golden light, and Minato's figure appeared and disappeared throughout the room like a phantom.

It was as if a dozen "Minato clones" appeared in various parts of the room at the same time. The air was torn apart by the high-speed movement, emitting a sharp whistling sound. The candlelight in the room was stirred by the airflow, flickering on and off.

"Not enough! Go faster!" Minato gritted his teeth.

Chakra output suddenly increased, but this was followed by a severe bout of dizziness.

"Oh no!" Minato's pupils contracted as he realized he had reached his limit.

"Bang!"

The specially made kunai flew out of his hand, and Minato slammed heavily to the ground. He knelt on one knee, panting heavily, sweat streaming down his face and leaving a water stain on the floor.

"hateful."

Minato slammed his fist into the ground, his knuckles turning white from the force. He seemed to hear Madara Uchiha's sarcastic voice again: "It's because you lack the power that this tragedy happened."

The scene from that day seemed to reappear before my eyes: Kushina was pierced by the chains of the Gedo Mazo, while I was unable to move.

The next second, Minato stood up, his eyes sharpening. He wanted to double, no, triple, the speed of the Flying Thunder God Technique, and also optimize the chakra consumption during teleportation…

"The speed of the Flying Thunder God Technique alone is not enough; we need even greater power. My attack power is simply not enough to break through Madara Uchiha's defense."

Sage Mode, the subsequent upgrades to Rasengan, and the forbidden techniques in various Scrolls of Seals—you must master all of these; you can't let any of them slip by.

To become stronger, I must become stronger, in order to protect Konoha, and in order to... seek revenge.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Minato snapped out of his reverie, quickly wiped the sweat from his brow, and straightened his disheveled clothes: "Please come in."

The door was pushed open, and a tall, white-haired man walked in. He was wearing a red robe, and there were two red lines on his face that stretched from the corners of his eyes to his chin. He was none other than Jiraiya, Minato's teacher.

"Teacher." Minato bowed slightly. He noticed that Jiraiya's eyes had lost their former sparkle, and he seemed to have aged considerably.

Jiraiya glanced at the specially made kunai scattered all over the floor, sighed, and sat down in a chair by the window. "You didn't have to work so hard."

A brief silence fell over the room.

"Why?" Minato finally asked the question that had been troubling him, "Why did you recommend me to be Hokage?"

Jiraiya didn't answer immediately. Instead, he took out a sake bottle from his robes, took a sip, and said, "Tsunade... she has hemoptysis and can barely fight now."

"As for me," Jiraiya gave a wry smile, "I don't even think I'm cut out to be Hokage. And the village elders don't really approve of someone like me becoming Hokage either. They prefer Orochimaru, but for some reason, that guy refused."

"But I..."

"You demonstrated your strength in your battle against Madara Uchiha," Jiraiya interrupted him, "and in the battle against Danzo, you risked your own safety to save many people. The villagers witnessed all of this."

Jiraiya stood up, walked to Minato, and said in a deep voice, "Minato, do you know? When I was young, I received a prophecy at Mount Myōboku, which said that one day my disciple would bring about a great change to this world. Perhaps, you are that prophesied child."

"Child of Prophecy," Minato repeated in a low voice.

"Let's go, they should all be here by now." Jiraiya's voice was a little hoarse. "Remember, whether you believe in prophecy or not, Konoha needs a Hokage to lead everyone now."

…………

Inside the meeting room of the Land of Iron, the air was so heavy it seemed you could wring water out of it. The five Kage took their seats, each accompanied by two guards standing behind them.

Onoki crossed his arms on the table, his eyes sweeping over everyone present before finally settling on Minato: "Has Konoha now been reduced to having immature brats as its Kage?"

"Age is not a problem, strength is the key," Yagura said softly. "As far as I know, Minato showed amazing strength in the previous battle."

"Amazing strength?" Onoki scoffed. "Compared to Uchiha Madara, all of us here combined are no match for him."

Yagura frowned slightly, but before he could speak, a loud bang exploded in the conference room.

The Third Raikage, A, slammed his fist on the table, and spiderweb-like cracks immediately appeared on the wooden conference table.

"Enough!" A stood up, his massive frame exuding an overwhelming aura of power. "What does Konoha's affairs have to do with us? I only want to know one thing: is Uchiha Madara really still alive?"

"I saw it with my own eyes, it was indeed Uchiha Madara." Minato answered calmly, unwavering in the face of the other Kage's doubts. "Konoha has already dispatched the Anbu to track Madara's whereabouts."

"Konoha's Anbu?" Ai scoffed. "Just those rabble?"

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

"I agree with the Raikage's assessment." Rasa placed his hands on the table, "Konoha's Anbu can't even keep an eye on the Uchiha clan."

Minato frowned slightly, about to speak, when Onoki suddenly sneered: "Moreover, Konoha has been complacent all these years, acting recklessly because it is the number one ninja village. Hashirama Senju's promise to treat the five great nations equally now seems to be nothing but a joke."

"Iwagakure has no right to judge others," Ai said with his arms crossed and a sneer. "You fought us to the death at the border for resources, and now you're acting all high and mighty."

"You talk as if your Hidden Cloud Village is completely clean." Rasa stared dangerously at A. "I probably don't need to elaborate on how the Hidden Cloud Village plunders bloodline limits everywhere, do I?"

"Hmph!" A slammed his fist on the table, dangerous lightning crackling around him. "You Sunagakure attacked our frontline outpost, and you call that honorable? We'll settle those scores today!"

At this moment, Ai's muscles bulged, and lightning crackled around him.

Luo Sha narrowed his eyes and silently raised his right hand, golden sand gold gathering in his palm.

Onoki slowly floated into the air, a dangerous glint in his eyes: "It seems this meeting can't continue today."

"It's so noisy," Yagura sighed softly, subtly gripping the weapon beside him.

Just as tensions were about to rise, a cold shout suddenly rang out.

"That's enough!"

A loud shout shook the entire conference room. Everyone turned to look at the source of the sound.

Minato stood there, his eyes now shaped like frog eyes, orange eyeshadow clearly visible, and he exuded a chilling aura.

"If you all want to fight, I'm ready anytime," Minato said calmly, his gaze sweeping over everyone present. "But before that, please think about your village, think about those who are still alive."

"You have all witnessed Madara Uchiha's strength. If we cannot let go of the past, the final result will only be that Madara will reap the benefits."

Jiraiya, standing behind Minato, watched this scene with a relieved smile on his lips.

A brief silence fell over the meeting room.

Finally, Onoki sat down first, his expression turning playful. "Heh, the young man is right. However..." He glanced meaningfully at Minato, "Since Konoha wants us to put aside past grievances, shouldn't they at least show some sincerity?"

Ai crossed her arms and leaned back in her chair, scoffing, "What a sly old fox. He was all fierce just now, but now he's haggling."

Minato straightened up and his gaze swept over everyone present: "Konoha can concede some border resources and cease trade restrictions on neighboring countries."

He paused, his expression turning serious. "But right now, the most important thing is to deal with Uchiha Madara. Other conditions can be discussed after we defeat Madara."

He placed his right hand on the table, each word resounding: "If we only focus on haggling now, we might not even have the chance to haggle."

Luo Sha narrowed his eyes and tapped his fingers lightly on the table: "This condition... is worth considering."

Onoki nodded: "In that case, let's put aside our past grievances for now. However, I hope that the conditions Konoha agreed to can be implemented as soon as possible after the meeting."

"Now let's talk about the plan to deal with Uchiha Madara," Yagura said in a deep voice. "The Tailed Beasts have been hidden. If he wants to find their location, he'll have to come to us."

"That's perfect." A cold glint flashed in Ai's eyes. "Instead of passively defending, we should take the initiative and set a trap."

"The elite Jonin and above from each village must be concentrated." Minato quickly drew a simple tactical diagram on the table. "No matter how many Genin and Chunin there are, they'll just be sending them to their deaths against Madara."

Onoki stared at the diagram: "Using the strength of the Five Kage as the core, and coordinating with the elite Jonin from each village to form an encirclement. Once Madara appears, launch an attack immediately."

The discussion lasted for a full hour.

"Gentlemen, now that we have reached a consensus, let's conclude this meeting here."

Minato stood up and spoke, and then the five Kage got up and left the meeting room one after another, with Minato being the last to leave.

Just then, a cold, mechanical voice suddenly rang in Minato's mind:

Do you want to break the boundary between life and death? Do you want to find the most important person in your life?

"What?!" Minato turned around abruptly, his pupils shrinking, and all the muscles in his body tensing instantly.

This voice was neither an illusion nor any known ninjutsu; it seemed to resonate directly in my mind, carrying a strange and bewitching quality.

Do you want to change your destiny? Do you want to get back everything you've lost?

The voice rang out again, each word seemingly nailed to Minato's heart. The moment before Kushina died flashed before his eyes, causing his fingers to tremble slightly.

Meanwhile, in each room

Ohnoki was sitting in a chair deep in thought when suddenly his brow furrowed.

Do you want to continue the glory of Iwagakure? Do you want to witness the pinnacle of the ninja world?

As Luo Sha gazed at the scenery outside the window, the following thoughts echoed in his mind:

Do you want to help Sunagakure out of its predicament? Do you want to protect your family?

"To protect?" Rasa clenched his fist, thinking of his wife.

……

Almost simultaneously, all five Shadows received an invitation from this mysterious voice. Each of them fell into deep thought, as if the voice knew their deepest desires.

....................................

In the God Realm, Uchiha Mine looked at the virtual screen in front of him with a satisfied smile. After Madara's battle in Fairy Tail, the God Realm had accumulated a large amount of energy.

The ranks of reincarnators can be expanded again, and new features have been unlocked.

The "Reincarnated Ones Return" feature is now available.
