In Konoha, they wiped out the Sarutobi clan at the start.

Chapter 318 The Five Kage Summit (Part 2)

"Hehe." Kurotsuchi chuckled, gloating, "Then let's just give up the position of Tsuchikage, who represents the honor of Iwagakure. Look at Sunagakure, their Kazekage is only sixteen years old now."

"Just a greenhorn, and speaking of Sunagakure, it's truly shameful. Even their own Kazekage was killed by Akatsuki," Onoki said gloatingly.

"By Akatsuki?" Kurotsuchi was taken aback. "Wasn't he killed by Orochimaru?"

"No, Kurotsuchi," Akatsuchi explained, "Orochimaru, that guy who died at the hands of the Uchiha, was just a clown. It was Fujiwara no Chiya who really killed the Fourth Kazekage."

"I remember you fought Fujiwara Chiya before, Kurotsuchi. What kind of person was he?"

When "Russai" mentions Chiya, Kurotsuchi's face turns bright red. She can never forget the scene where he touched her thigh and called her "Leg Shadow".

He would never forget it, he gritted his teeth, and wished he could eat his flesh, sleep on his skin, strip him naked, and hang him up to beat him.

Even so, it was difficult to quell the hatred in his heart.

"Grandpa, speaking of which, isn't Akatsuki's target the Tailed Beasts? Why did Fujiwara Chiya want to kill the Fourth Kazekage?"

"Who knows? Including that good-for-nothing Deidara, the Akatsuki, a group of S-rank rogue ninjas from all over the ninja world, can't be judged by common sense."

Onoki turned around, slinging his luggage over his shoulder, and wondered, "I haven't heard anything about Deidara lately. Is he hiding? Or was he killed? Or perhaps..."

Just as he was about to put his back on his back, there was a cracking sound, followed by a scream from Onoki.

"Ah!" He twisted his waist.

Hidden Mist Village.

Genshi, an elder of Kirigakure who held equal power with the Mizukage, held a snake-headed cane and handed the Mizukage hat to the Fifth Mizukage, Mei Terumi, saying kindly, "Then, little Mei... oh no, Mizukage-sama, I'll leave this Five Kage Summit to you."

"Leave it to me, Elder Yuan. I'll stake my name as the Mizukage on this mission." Mei Terumi took the straw hat and held it high above her head. "White, Blue, let's go."

"Yes, teacher (Mizukage-sama)." The two replied respectfully, following closely behind.

Yes, Haku, who was rescued by Chiya in the Land of Waves three years ago, replaced Chojuro from the original story and the assassin "Ao" with the Byakugan, becoming the Mizukage's bodyguard.

Moreover, thanks to his bloodline limit Ice Shield, Haku has found meaning in life after Zabuza and has shone brightly in Kirigakure for the past three years.

His strength and achievements have earned him recognition and praise from everyone.

Now, he has become a disciple of the Fifth Mizukage, Terumi Mei, and is being trained as the Sixth Mizukage.

Besides escorting the Mizukage to the Five Kage Summit, there was another reason for this mission: to demonstrate Kirigakure's strength to the other four great nations.

This indicates that Kirigakure is no longer the village that was severely weakened by the Blood Mist policy.

"Shiro, is something on your mind?" Mei Terumi asked in surprise when she noticed that Shiro, who was standing next to her, seemed a little downcast.

"Teacher, it's nothing." Bai shook his head, seemingly wanting to say something but stopping himself, though his hand gripping his backpack was clenched tightly.

Seeing Shiro's perfectly understandable expression, Mei Terumi knew exactly what he was thinking and asked softly, "Are you worried about that guy?"

That guy, of course, refers to Chiya, who stole her first kiss on their first meeting.

Over the next six or seven years, he repeatedly sexually assaulted her, and his actions became increasingly excessive. Eventually, he even slept with her, half-heartedly.

Every time, Terumi Mei hates him so much she grinds her teeth.

But there was nothing they could do.

Until recently, in the last six months, Akatsuki began to be active, capturing tailed beasts everywhere, which made Akatsuki stop bullying her.

But Mei Terumi was not happy about this; instead, she felt anxious and uncertain.

I started having random thoughts.

They wonder if their partner is tired of them or has found someone else.

If it weren't for the recent spate of news about Chiya in the ninja world, she would have thought he had already been killed.

Amidst these conflicting emotions, Mei Terumi unknowingly realizes that she has completely fallen in love with Chiya.

Perhaps this is what happens when feelings grow over time.

Of course, Mei Terumi herself would never admit it.

Even in front of outsiders, and even in front of Bai, she still turned pale at the sight of Qianye, wishing she could devour his flesh alive.

Hearing Mei Terumi's words, Shiro Yuuyu nodded. "Teacher, do you think Lord Senya will be alright?"

"Who knows? This time they caused such a huge mess, colluding with the Uchiha to kidnap the Raikage's brother. Even if they get killed, they deserve it." Mei Terumi turned her head away, her pretty face slightly flushed, and said arrogantly.

The teacher is as hypocritical as ever. Shiro looked at Terumi Mei's arrogant expression and smiled bitterly to himself.

Perhaps even Mei Terumi herself didn't know that the scandalous affair between her and Chiya had already been discovered by Shiro.

Bai had even eavesdropped on someone's conversation—Qianye did it on purpose.

The assassin "Blue" was unaware of what Bai was thinking and earnestly echoed, "Lord Mizukage is right, Bai. I know that Fujiwara Chiya once saved you."

"But you are now the Mizukage's disciple. You must be clear about your place."

"This Five Kage Summit represents Kirigakure, so we must be clear about our position. If the name 'Lord Chiya' is heard by ninjas from other villages, it could very well arouse their suspicion, making them think that Kirigakure is connected to the infamous Akatsuki. You must be careful about that."

"Yes, Lord Qing." Bai nodded emphatically.

Even so, the worry between her brows could not be concealed. She thought to herself, "Lord Qianye, how can I possibly repay your kindness to me?"

Hidden Cloud Village.

Raikage Building.

"Hidarui...it's time to go, follow me."

The Raikage burst through the window of the Raikage Building and rushed towards the Land of Iron.

After nearly half a month of treatment and recuperation, Darui and Shi, who had fully recovered from their injuries, chose to take the stairs as Raikage's bodyguards.

Leaf.

Hokage Building.

"Well then, we should set off now. Chinatsu, you can't mess around there anymore, or I won't take you next time."

Tsunade put on the Hokage hat and looked at her daughter, Chika, who was clearly talented but liked to cause trouble and had just beaten up two Cloud Ninja. She had a helpless expression on her face and gave her a heartfelt warning.

"Don't worry, Mom, I'll do whatever you say when we get there," Qianxia said playfully, blinking her cute big eyes.

At the same time, he added in his mind, "Of course, if it were my father, that would be a different story."

"I hope so." Tsunade's gaze shifted to Shizune. "Where's Kakashi?"

"He was held up for a bit, it seems to be about Naruto. He'll be waiting for you at the village entrance after he's finished talking," Shizune replied.

"Naruto, they're all such a handful." Tsunade sighed helplessly, then looked at Jiraiya and said solemnly, "Then I'll leave the village to you."

"Don't worry." Jiraiya nodded emphatically and said seriously, "Go and come back soon."
