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

"After fifteen years, I've finally reached the final level. The chakra increased by five thousand calories from the ninth to the tenth level. That was quite an achievement."

Qianye smiled.

He learned this Ghost Path from Konan.

Looking towards Amegakure, a black dot gradually enlarged before transforming into a graceful figure that landed in front of him—it was Konan.

"Is your training over?" Xiao Nan gently stepped forward to straighten Qian Ye's slightly disheveled collar, then walked behind him and lightly brushed the dust off his clothes.

"It's temporarily over." Qianye turned and hugged her, smiling slightly. "Is it Bai Jue who's here?"

"Hmm. That guy secretly infiltrated Amegakure, and was discovered by Chika. Apparently, it's that masked man who invited you to the Land of Iron, saying he has important matters to discuss. If I'm not mistaken, it's the Five Kage Summit that's been shaking the ninja world lately."

Xiao Nan, who was newly married, seemed a little reserved. When Qian Ye hugged her, her pretty face turned red instantly, and she nodded.

"That's interesting. It's a good opportunity to see some old friends I haven't seen in a long time." Chiya thought of Mei Terumi, but she didn't know if Haku would come along, since in the original story, it was Chojuro and the Byakugan assassin Ao who acted as Mei Terumi's guards.

"An old friend?" Xiao Nan was taken aback, her face showing a look of doubt. Was Qian Ye familiar with the Shadows of the Five Great Nations?

"Yes." Qianye nodded, not denying it. "Among the five major national shadows, two are sisters, and one of them even has a daughter with me."

Upon hearing this, Konan was shocked and couldn't help but glare at Chiya. "Of the current Five Kage, the Tsuchikage is a decrepit old man on his deathbed, the Kazekage is a minor, the Raikage is a roughneck, and only the Mizukage and Hokage are women."

"Don't tell me you're having an affair with both of them. Wait, that woman who was the Fifth Hokage, could she be yours?"

"Smart." Qianye kissed Xiaonan.

Having received confirmation, Xiao Nan no longer knew how to evaluate Qianye.

Is it really true that she's called a fickle radish head?

He even managed to get his hands on Tsunade, one of the legendary Sannin.

Konan continued, "Then what about the Fifth Mizukage, Mei Terumi?"

"It's a long story. I'll explain it to you later." He half-heartedly agreed to talk about Mei Mei, but he couldn't bring himself to say it.

The north wind howled, and heavy snow fell.

Samui, Omoi, and Karui, who were on their way to Konoha to deliver invitations to the Five Kage Summit, finally arrived in the Land of Iron before the summit began and met up with the Raikage and his guards.

"Lord Raikage, we have delivered the letter. The Hokage is currently on his way to the Five Kage Summit and should have arrived by now. In addition, we have also obtained information about Uchiha Sasuke and Fujiwara Chiya from Konoha."

Samui handed a scroll to Raikage.

When Qianye was mentioned, his brows furrowed noticeably.

Clearly, Qianye's strength was more troublesome than she had imagined.

Not only is he proficient in genjutsu and taijutsu, but he also defeated the powerful Raikage and the elite Jonin Darui and Shi from Kumogakure with just these two skills.

He was proficient in all five elements of escape techniques.

They also have achieved remarkable success in the field of barriers.

He is simply an all-around ninja, a unique hexagonal warrior.

"Thank you for your hard work." Raikage took the scroll, his brows furrowed as well, but he didn't say much, only uttering three words in a low voice.

He knew that at this point, there was no point in saying anything more.

Fujiwara no Chiya alone was already beyond the scope of what Kumogakure could handle, not to mention Akatsuki, who had already gathered eight tailed beasts, including his younger brother.

At this critical moment, we must unite the five great powers.

"hope put it away." Raikage casually handed the intelligence scroll to hope.

"Yes," hope took the scroll and was about to put it away when he suddenly seemed to sense something. His hand stopped moving abruptly, and he silently counted in his mind: one, two, eight, nine, ten. There were actually ten.

"What's wrong?" Samui asked, somewhat surprised.

"Samui, you've been followed." hope rolled up her scroll, then abruptly looked towards the earthen mound at three o'clock, and shouted sharply, "Come out, you lackeys of Konoha..."

As soon as he finished speaking, ten Konoha ninjas, led by Naruto, rushed out from behind the earthen mound.

If Tsunade and the others were here, they would definitely notice that there was an extra person in the team she originally planned to form: Sakura Haruno, who had escaped death after being stabbed by Pain.

After hearing that Naruto was going to find the Raikage, he shamelessly followed along.

"I have something to say to you," Naruto said, looking directly at the Raikage. Karin and Yamato were by his side.

Behind them were Team 8: Hinata, Kiba, and Shino; Team Guy: Neji, Tenten, and Lee; and Sakura, who was the least noticeable.

hope frowned and whispered in the Raikage's ear, "Lord Raikage, these people all possess considerable chakra, especially the blond and red-haired ones on the other side."

Darui, too, abandoned his usual laziness and frowned deeply. "Boss, the other side seems to have ill intentions. Should I..."

As he spoke, Darui made a gesture of drawing his sword.

The Raikage raised his hand, and Hi and Darui nodded and returned to their original positions. His gaze swept across the group opposite him, finally landing on Yamato, the only one wearing a Konoha Jonin vest, and he questioned him sharply:

"Konoha Jonin, before you take action, I'd like to know if the Hokage ordered you to come?"

"Lord Raikage, you misunderstand. We are not here to fight. The reason so many of us have come is entirely due to the Hokage's concern for the Jinchuriki... no." Yamato shook his head, turning his gaze to Naruto, and explained, "It's for Naruto's safety. As you probably know, Akatsuki is currently hunting down the Tailed Beasts."

"Is this guy the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki? Uzumaki shares the same surname as the Fourth Hokage's wife's former Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. Is he the Fourth Hokage's child?"

Looking at Naruto, the Raikage quickly guessed his identity and continued, "So, why did the Hokage summon you here?"

"We're escorting Naruto to see you." Yamato stopped being mysterious and looked at Naruto, saying, "Lady Tsunade trusts Naruto, so when Naruto asked to see you, she agreed without hesitation."

"Then stop dawdling and get to the point, kid. What do you want?" Raikage said impatiently.

Despite saying that, her gaze never left Naruto, her mind drifting back to memories of her battle with the Fourth Hokage.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Naruto stepped forward and uttered a startling statement: "I hope you will rescind your order to execute Brother Chiya and Sasuke."

Upon hearing this, everyone in the Cloud Village was stunned, and they looked at Naruto as if he were an idiot.

Especially Omoi and Karui, who were beaten up by Chika. Naruto had made the same request to them before in Konoha, and now they dare to ask again.

Did they genuinely not know that Akatsuki was capturing Jinchuriki, or were they pretending not to know?

Don't you know that you are also part of their target?

Naruto continued, "I know this is going too far, but it's the only thing I can do. Senya is my family, and Sasuke is my friend. I can't stand by and watch my family and friends get killed."

"Furthermore, I don't want Konoha and Kumogakure to be caught in a cycle of revenge because of what happened to Brother Chiya and Sasuke."

As expected of the Fourth Hokage's son, he's just as naive as his father. Seeing Naruto's state, the Raikage remained silent, moved aside from Naruto, and continued on his way.

Naruto hurriedly chased after him, circled around to the Raikage, and then, with a thud, knelt down on his knees.

But the Raikage chose to ignore him, walked past Naruto, and continued on his way until he heard Naruto's pleading voice again behind him, at which point he stopped.

"Please, I don't want to kill each other because of revenge." Naruto raised his face, his eyes looking forlorn as he gently stroked his lower abdomen, and said, "Chiya... Chiya's parents were killed by the Nine-Tails inside me the year I was born."

He was not even six years old at the time.

Even so, he didn't hate or resent me because of it. On the contrary, he was the first person in the village to look at me normally and accept me. He was the first person who didn't see me as a fox demon. Because he knew that we were both victims.

"But ever since that incident, because of the darkness in the village, he changed. He became a stranger, and he stopped trusting everyone. He joined Akatsuki and took revenge on everyone who had wronged him."

"Even so, he never killed anyone he wasn't involved with. Nor did he ever harm a former friend."

"Sasuke was only thinking about revenge. Because he didn't have the strength of his older brother Chiya, he started desperately pursuing power."

"Revenge led him down the same path as Brother Qianye. Controlled by hatred, he completely changed, becoming very strange, no longer the person I used to know."

"I don't want anyone to repeat their mistakes, nor do I want Konoha and Kumogakure to fight each other again."

"So..." As he said this, Naruto, who was kneeling on the ground, was moved to tears. He recalled the past with Chiya and Sasuke, and the tears flowed uncontrollably, melting the snow beneath him.

"Naruto." The Konoha people were deeply moved by Naruto's words, all of them influenced by Naruto's talk-no-jutsu.

Not to mention them, even the Cloud Hidden faction was touched for a moment.

But this still couldn't change their determination to seek revenge.

The Raikage turned and glared at Naruto. "We'll kill Fujiwara Chiya and Uchiha Sasuke, and then you can give up on revenge."

Seeing that the Raikage remained unmoved, Yamato could no longer bear it and said in a deep voice, "Lord Raikage, the matter of you targeting Konoha's Byakugan back then has not been completely resolved."

"Konoha swallowed its pride and did not wage war against Kumogakure, which had sown the seeds of war."

"Konoha paid a heavy price for this. I hope you won't forget." Yamato stepped aside and looked at Hinata and Neji. "The Hyuga main family lady who was kidnapped on your orders and the son of Hizashi who was killed by your Kumogakure are right here."

"What are your thoughts now?"

"Hyuga?" The Cloud Village members looked at Hinata and Neji, slightly taken aback.

Immediately, the scene of Chiya forcing them to kneel flashed through the minds of Raikage, Hiyori, and Darui.

At that time, Chiya used the fact that Kumogakure had killed Hizashi as a reason to refute the Kumogakure's despicable nature.

Of the three, the most impulsive, hope, unable to control his emotions, shouted excitedly, "Stop bringing up old grievances and talking nonsense! So what if Cloud Village targeted Byakugan?"

"The death of Hizashi was nothing more than the incompetence of your Konoha's leaders. Even a three-year-old child knew that Kumogakure, like Konoha, had just experienced the Third Shinobi World War and was incapable of waging war."

"It was because your Third Hokage of Konoha was cowardly that he handed over Hizashi."

"What are you going to say about your feelings? Do you know what Fujiwara Chiya did to the Raikage?"

"If you don't know, then stop talking nonsense."

After speaking in one breath, hope was so angry that he gasped for breath, and the other members of Yunyin also showed anger on their faces.

Naruto was taken aback, then turned to look at the Raikage. "What did Senya-nii do to you?"

The Raikage didn't answer, but glanced at Hinata and Neji out of the corner of his eye, and scolded his subordinate, "Nozomi, don't say anything unnecessary."

"I'm sorry, Lord Raikage," Nozomi quickly apologized upon hearing this.

The Raikage raised his hand, glaring at Naruto. "A ninja cannot easily bow his head. What a ninja should respect is strength and action. There should be no compromise in conversations between ninjas."

"Human history is the history of war. After the Third Shinobi World War ended, all countries and villages continued to acquire powerful ninjutsu."

"The weak are the strong, and the mighty are respected; this is the truth of the ninja world."

"After being captured by the Uchiha, we failed against Fujiwara Chiya who was covering our retreat. Fujiwara Chiya threatened to massacre the entire Kumogakure and forced me, Hii, and Darui to kneel down."

"The evidence is right here." Raikage tore off his white robe, revealing a hideous and terrifying long, narrow scar that stretched almost from his left shoulder to his right hip.

Darui and hope exchanged a glance, amidst the horrified gazes of the Konoha villagers.

The former rolled up his shirt, revealing a hideous scar identical to that of the Raikage;

The latter added, "This is a disgrace to Kumogakure forever. That guy who kidnapped Killer Bee and insulted the Raikage can never be forgiven."

"How could this happen?" Naruto collapsed to the ground, utterly dejected, and then heard the Raikage say:

"At that time, Fujiwara Chiya chose to sit facing Konoha and made us kneel down. He also mentioned the Byakugan incident beforehand. I don't know if he did it intentionally or if he was trying to hurt us, but we still knelt down."

"There's nothing to complain about. Like I said before, it's survival of the fittest."

"Akatsuki is an internationally wanted criminal. As a result, not only me, but the entire ninja world will be watching Fujiwara Chiya and Sasuke."

"Pleading for the criminals, begging for mercy for the safety of your comrades—these are not considered friendship in the world of ninjas."

"Kid from Konoha, you should think carefully about what you should be doing."

"hope, Darui, Samui, Omoi, Karui, let's go."

After saying that, Lei Ying took a step forward and appeared on a tree dozens of meters away. In a few flashes, he disappeared.

The remaining members of the Cloud Village glared at Naruto and followed closely behind.

"Neji-nii, Chiyo-nii..." Hinata looked at the spot where the Raikage and his group had disappeared, her expression complicated, and turned her gaze to Neji.

Neji closed his eyes and shook his head, but his opinion of Chiya changed slightly. Perhaps the guy his cousin thought of wasn't as heinous as she imagined.

Whether intentional or unintentional, the Raikage was made to kneel in the direction of his father's death.

Now I owe them a huge favor.

The Five Kage Summit is located inside the skeleton of a three-headed giant monster in the Land of Iron.

The skeleton was surrounded by heavily armed, masked samurai who were spying on the scene.

The skeleton was used to shield the body from wind and snow, and the interior was a hidden world.

Surrounded by giant buildings.

At the very center of its architecture, amidst the skulls and bones of monsters, a tower-shaped building rises from the ground.

"Lord Hokage, this is it." Kakashi looked at the monster's skeleton in front of him and gestured.

"Okay, let's go in." Tsunade nodded, took the Hokage hat from her waist, put it on, and stepped inside.

Chinatsu and Kakashi followed closely behind.

Chika looked around, her sensory and Observation Haki scanning everything inside the building without restraint. When her gaze fell on a spot in the northwest direction, a meaningful smile appeared on her pretty face:

Has Erzhuzi already arrived? Maybe this time I'll actually get to see Dad.

Kakashi, who was walking a step behind Tsunade alongside Chinatsu, noticed Chinatsu's unusual behavior and asked hesitantly, "Chinatsu, did you find something?"

"Ah, it seems that some chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) kid has already sneaked in with a few rats." Chinatsu nodded. "It seems that my mom is the target."

"A chuunibyou kid." Kakashi's expression darkened. "Is it Sasuke?"

His target was the Hokage. Apart from Itachi and Sasuke, who was determined to take revenge on Konoha, he couldn't think of anyone else who would intend to harm the Hokage.

Qianxia nodded slowly, a mysterious smile on her face. "Besides Erzhuzi, there's no one else. However, they didn't show any real killing intent. It seems they were just putting on an act."

"After all, the Uchiha clan's affairs have nothing to do with my mother. Perhaps she just wants to cause a scene and disrupt the Five Kage Summit."
