The atmosphere in the Konoha Village meeting room was heavy.

"Hmph! What are you up to, Hokage!"

The Fourth Raikage slammed his hand on the table, making the teacup jump. His brows furrowed as he stared directly at Hiruzen Sarutobi, his tone full of accusation.

At this moment, the conference room was already full of people, including the Fourth Raikage. The Kage from the other four major ninja villages had also arrived one after another and were sitting around a long table, conducting a crucial meeting of the Five Kage.

Before Hiruzen Sarutobi could even explain, the Fourth Raikage couldn't hold back any longer and launched the first attack:

"How long has it been since the last meeting? Only a few months! What's the meaning of suddenly summoning us again?!"

His voice boomed like thunder, echoing throughout the conference room.

Faced with the Fourth Raikage's repeated questioning, the other Kage—Tsuchikage Onoki, Mizukage Yagura, and Kazekage Rasa—remained remarkably silent.

They were either deep in thought or their eyes were darting around, seemingly weighing something. For a moment, the only sound in the conference room was the Fourth Raikage's angry panting.

They also wanted to know what Hiruzen Sarutobi's purpose was in urgently summoning them to this "Five Kage Summit"!

Hiruzen Sarutobi adjusted his Hokage hood slightly, his eyes, sharp as an eagle's now, fixed intently on the Fourth Raikage. He spoke slowly, his voice steady and powerful:

"We have some leads regarding Killer Bee's whereabouts..."

He paused deliberately, seemingly observing the crowd's reactions:

"That's right, just as we analyzed, they have fallen into the hands of the [Twilight] organization, and are currently being controlled by a man named Fengtian..."

As Hiruzen Sarutobi finished speaking, the atmosphere in the conference room froze instantly, as if even the air itself had stopped flowing.

Each figure's eyes became unusually serious, their brows furrowed, as if they were pondering how to deal with this sudden crisis.

The Fourth Raikage abruptly stood up, his hands clenched into fists, knuckles white from the force, his voice low and threatening:

"The Twilight organization? Fengtian? It really is that bunch of scum!"

Onoki, the third Tsuchikage of Tsuchikage Village, was old but his eyes were still sharp. He tapped his cane lightly, making a "tap-tap" sound, and then slowly said:

"If it were just something like that, His Hokage wouldn't have convened the Five Kage Summit..."

"I want to know the truth behind holding these talks..."

Faced with Onoki's direct approach, Hiruzen Sarutobi did not show much panic.

He tapped the table lightly, his gaze sweeping across everyone's faces, before speaking slowly, his voice carrying a barely perceptible heaviness:

"Three days ago, in the Hokage's office, I unexpectedly encountered Fengtian, the creator of the Twilight organization."

"At that time, I had only one thought in my mind: to keep him in Konoha Village forever..."

"However, when I actually faced him, my reason told me that no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't budge this man in the slightest."

"He exuded a peculiar aura, a chilling power..."

"In the blink of an eye, a ninja with a weak will can be instantly stunned..."

"It was an indescribable fear, one that made you afraid to look directly at it."

At this point, Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed slightly and continued:

"Most importantly, I wasn't the one who initiated this Five Shadows Summit..."

"But rather, it is Fengtian..."

These words caused an uproar in the meeting room. The other shadows looked at each other in disbelief.

The Fourth Raikage roared in disbelief:

"What did you say? The Five Shadows Summit initiated by Fengtian? What qualifications does he have!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head helplessly and continued:

"At first, I intended to refuse, but considering that Minato and Killer Bee were still in the hands of [Twilight], and that I also wanted to take this opportunity to understand the purpose of the [Twilight] organization..."

At this moment, Luo Sha, who was standing to the side, also spoke up:

"Lord Hokage, your considerations are indeed thorough, but at this moment, with only the few of us here, do you really think we can ascertain Twilight's purpose through our discussion alone?"

Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head slightly, then continued:

"Fengtian said he would attend this meeting..."

"But judging from the situation, he should be showing up soon..."

Just as Hiruzen Sarutobi finished speaking, the conference room door was suddenly pushed open, and a gust of cold wind rushed in, accompanied by the slight sound of papers turning over.

Everyone's attention was involuntarily drawn to the figure that slowly entered—it was Feng Tian, ​​the creator of the Twilight organization who was frequently mentioned.

Fengtian wore a well-tailored black robe, which swayed gently in the wind, making him appear tall and straight.

His face was cold and stern, as if forever shrouded in a layer of frost, and his deep eyes revealed an undeniable majesty that made people dare not look him in the eye.

He slowly scanned the crowd, his gaze like a sharp blade, as if he could see into the hearts of everyone present.

Then, a faint smile appeared on his lips, a smile full of confidence and mockery, as if everything was under his control and everyone else was just a pawn on his chessboard.

"Hello~"

Upon hearing this, the Fourth Raikage was instantly enraged and was about to lash out when Hiruzen Sarutobi gently pressed down on his shoulder.

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded to Fengtian, gesturing for him to take a seat.

Fengtian didn't stand on ceremony. He walked straight to an empty table, sat down, crossed his legs, and his eyes revealed a defiant glint.

"Everyone, now that everyone's here, let's get straight to the point."

Fengtian broke the silence with his voice, which was deep and powerful, as if it could penetrate people's hearts.

"I know you have many questions and a lot of grievances about the Twilight Organization..."

"But today, I'm not here to argue with you; I'm here to discuss cooperation."

Fengtian's words carried a hint of cunning that was barely perceptible.

"Cooperation? Cooperation with the Twilight Organization?"

The Fourth Raikage sneered, his tone filled with disdain:

"Do you think we'd believe your nonsense?"

Fengtian smiled slightly, seemingly unconcerned about the Fourth Raikage's taunts.

He continued:

"I know what you're worried about, but I can assure you that as long as you're willing to cooperate with the Twilight Organization, I can guarantee the safety of Minato and Killer Bee..."

"And, incidentally, we can also save this filthy ninja world..."

"Cooperation? How exactly does the cooperation work?"

Onoki frowned, his voice tinged with doubt and wariness.

Upon hearing this, Fengtian's lips curled into a subtle smile, and then he gently pointed his finger upwards.

At that very moment, a chilling force of cause and effect swept through the entire venue like a sudden storm.

Of everyone present, only the Mizukage Yagura, whose expression changed slightly due to his slightly inferior strength, seemed to be somewhat affected by this power.

The other four—Tsuchikage Onoki, Kazekage Rasa, Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, and Raikage—sat steadily without any change in expression, clearly possessing the strength to resist this power.

Then, Fengtian spoke again, his voice soft yet carrying an undeniable authority:

"I need what you have left..."

"All the tailed beasts..."
