The Tenseigan started from the Hyuga main family.

Tsunade, Jiraiya, Nara Shikaku, Hyuga Hiashi...

These high-ranking officials of Konoha gathered together at this moment, and everyone's expression was grim.

"Yamato, you're back. What happened to Kakashi?"

Upon seeing Kakashi on Yamato's back, Tsunade was slightly startled. She immediately placed Kakashi on the ground, her palms already enveloped in green chakra.

"Master, what happened?"

Hinata Sawatatsu walked to Hiashi's side and asked in a low voice.

"We just received news that the Hidden Stone Village has dispatched a 5,000-strong ninja army that has invaded the Land of Wind and breached two of the Sand Village's defenses."

Hijika gave a wry smile and answered.

Five thousand ninjas?

That's almost equivalent to the total population of the entire Sand Village, right?

Of the five great ninja villages, Sunagakure has the fewest ninjas, while Iwagakure is recognized as having the most.

During the Third Shinobi World War, in order to surround and kill the Third Raikage, the Hidden Stone Village mobilized a total of 10,000 troops. After a three-day and three-night battle, they paid an extremely heavy price before finally killing the exhausted Raikage who had depleted his chakra.

"So, the village is now discussing whether or not to send troops to rescue the Sand Village?"

Hinata Zechen's lips curled up slightly, with a hint of sarcasm.

"No, the army of Iwagakure has been almost completely wiped out. Only less than a hundred people escaped back to the Land of Birds, while the rest were buried in the desert of the Land of Wind."

Hiashi shook his head, and after obtaining Shikaku's consent, handed a top-secret intelligence document to Hyuga Sawatatsu.

Such a major event has occurred, and all Jonin will be informed shortly. Hyuga Zetsu is only informing them a little ahead of time.

After reading the information in the scroll, Hinata Zechen couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, revealing a look of surprise.

As expected, with the flapping of Hinata Sawatatsu's wings, the timeline of the ninja world has begun to shift.

The Iwagakure ninja army was originally unstoppable, and was only a hundred miles away from the Sunagakure village, but they ran into Pain, who was in the Land of Wind searching for Shukaku and the art duo.

The two sides clashed at the slightest disagreement, or rather, the Iwa ninja were subjected to a one-sided massacre by Pain's Six Paths. Even the commander, Huang Tu, was severely injured by Pain's Deva Path. Only by paying the price of several Jonin's lives could they successfully escape the battlefield.

The main reason is that after Pain defeated the Iwa ninja army, he did not exterminate them all; otherwise, the son of the Third Tsuchikage would probably not have escaped his fate either.

"Obito..."

After Tsunade's treatment, Kakashi let out a groan and slowly woke up.

Obito?

Wasn't that Kakashi's former teammate who voluntarily transplanted his Sharingan into Kakashi?

The acquisition of Obito's Sharingan caused a huge uproar back then. If Minato Namikaze hadn't shouldered the pressure from the Uchiha clan at the time, there probably wouldn't be the Copy Ninja Kakashi we know today.

"Lady Tsunade, this time we have been ordered to assist Kirigakure in sealing the Three-Tails, Isobu..."

Once Tsunade was seated back in her original position, Yamato began to recount the details of the mission.

"What? The masked man who released the Nine-Tails was actually Obito Uchiha?"

Before Yamato could finish speaking, Jiraiya suddenly stood up, interrupting him.

After Minato Namikaze finished using the Reaper Death Seal, Hiruzen Sarutobi finally arrived at the scene and learned about the masked man from the dying Fourth Hokage.

Konoha had many guesses about the masked man's true identity, and even considered that he might be Madara Uchiha, but they never thought that he would be Obito Uchiha, who was engraved as a hero on the memorial stone.

"Immediately issue an S-rank wanted notice for rogue ninja."

Tsunade, who was standing nearby, slammed her hand on the wooden table and immediately gave the order.

"Lord Hokage, Obito... he was definitely being used!"

Kakashi looked pained, wanting to defend Obito, but he himself felt that his defense was completely unconvincing.

The tragic deaths of the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, and his wife, and Naruto's childhood filled with rejection and loneliness—the root of all these tragedies lies with Obito Uchiha.

"There is absolutely no room for maneuver in this matter."

Tsunade's words were so decisive and left no room for negotiation that Kakashi became dejected, as if he had returned to the state of utter despair he had felt years ago.

"Lord Hokage, urgent information."

A member of the code team pushed open the door and placed a piece of intelligence in front of Tsunade.

"Both Jinchuriki of Iwagakure have fallen into the hands of the Akatsuki organization. The ones who made the move were Itachi Uchiha and Kisame Hoshigaki."

After reviewing the intelligence, Tsunade handed it to Shikaku, then slowly raised her head and spoke.

The continuous stream of intelligence reports made everyone present look extremely solemn.

Everyone foresaw that a storm sweeping across the ninja world had fully taken shape.

-----------------

Inside a secret Akatsuki base, Pain, Konan, and Obito stood facing each other in a solemn atmosphere.

"Still no trace of Shukaku?"

After a long silence, Obito spoke, breaking the silence.

"No, all we know is that the Jade Maiden and the Azure Dragon suddenly disappeared after their battle with the One-Tailed Jinchuriki, and we have searched the entire Land of Wind to no avail."

Pain remained expressionless, and even though he learned Obito's true identity from Konan, he did not question him.

"Although there are backup plans, it is best not to use them unless absolutely necessary."

Without Shukaku, the One-Tailed Beast, it means that the captured Jinchuriki's chakra cannot be sent into the Gedo Mazo, which is a problem that the Akatsuki must now face.

“Nagato, the only way now is to transform the four captured Jinchūriki into Pain. This will not only allow us to suppress the Tailed Beasts with the power of the Rinnegan, but also enhance the combat power of the Six Paths of Pain.”

This was originally one of Obito's trump cards, which he planned to build for himself after retrieving Madara's Rinnegan from Nagato. Now, it only benefits Nagato.

Chapter 123 The Five Kage Summit Held Ahead of Schedule

chirp...

A loud cry of an eagle caused the Jonin of the Hyuga clan to raise their heads and look at the ninja eagle circling high in the sky.

Should we convene an emergency Jonin meeting?

How many times has this happened this month?

Hinata Sawatatsu sighed and put down his fishing rod.

When Hyuga Zetsu arrived at the Hokage Building with the Jonin of the Hyuga clan, he saw Kakashi rushing towards him from another direction.

Compared to how he looked when he first learned Obito's identity, Kakashi now, although still retaining a bit of dejection, appears to be in good spirits.

Sensing Hyuga Zetsu's gaze, Kakashi nodded in acknowledgment, causing Hyuga Zetsu to stop.

"Hey, Kakashi, looks like you've recovered pretty well."

Kakashi gave a wry smile in response to Hyuga Zechen's teasing.

"I was woken up by Naruto's punch."

Kakashi raised his head slightly, revealing an abnormal bulge on his chin that was still visible even through his mask, clearly indicating that the bruise had not yet healed.

"Naruto always possesses an inspiring power."

Kakashi nodded in complete agreement with Hyuga Zetsu's remark.

"Yes, it's an infectious charm he inherited from his father."

Kakashi's eyes showed a look of nostalgia, and the image of that person who always shone like the sun appeared in his mind.

"The Three-Tailed Isobu has also fallen into the hands of the Akatsuki. Judging from the timeline, it should be about half a day after we separated from the Fifth Mizukage."

The excitement didn't linger on Kakashi's face for long before he became dejected again and began to deliver the latest news from Kirigakure.

Even Mei Terumi was unable to stop Obito Uchiha, who possessed Kamui. Not only did Obito steal the Three-Tails Isobu from its seal, but her subordinates also suffered heavy losses under the attack of Wood Release.

Hyuga Zetsu was not surprised by what happened to Kirigakure.

Mei Terumi possessing two bloodline limits sounds impressive, but the two bloodline limits do not bring about a complementary enhancement. At most, they only give Mei Terumi more options for dealing with different situations, without demonstrating a transformation in combat power.

Hinata Sawatatsu has the right to speak on this point.

After this period of development, Hyuga Zechen has already combined several Byakugan and Shikotsumyaku techniques in the training camp, which can be considered a great achievement.

"So, what was the topic of this emergency meeting?"

Kakashi paused slightly upon hearing Hinata Zechen's question.

"At the request of Tsuchikage Onoki, a meeting of the Five Kage will be held to deal with the threat from Akatsuki."

Hinata Zechen blinked.

The arrests of the Jinchuriki have made the Five Great Nations uneasy. Are they planning to join forces to eliminate the Akatsuki organization?

Is it too late now that you've realized it?

-----------------

Inside the Hokage Building's conference room, facing a group of Jonin who were already seated on both sides, Tsunade took out a letter and placed it on the table.

"This is a handwritten letter from the Tsuchikage, proposing a Five Kage Summit to deal with the threat from Akatsuki. Judging from the old man's tone, he's really furious this time."

Although she knew she shouldn't, Tsunade still managed a gloating smile.

When Konoha sent the information about the Akatsuki organization to the Land of Earth, it was not only ignored by Onoki, but even the ninja who delivered the message was ridiculed, who said that it was unbecoming of the Five Great Nations for Konoha to treat a mere organization as if it were a major enemy.

Furthermore, there is sufficient intelligence to indicate that the Land of Earth has hired the Akatsuki organization more than once to participate in the wars waged by Iwagakure against neighboring small countries, providing ample fertile ground and financial support for the Akatsuki's growth.

When the ninja army that invaded the Land of Wind was almost completely wiped out, and the two Jinchuriki were captured, the cunning and shrewd Onoki could no longer sit still.

The Land of Earth alone could not defeat the Akatsuki organization, which had grown into a behemoth. This forced Ōkino to initiate the Five Kage Summit, hoping to join forces to wipe out the Akatsuki and reclaim the two tailed beasts.

"Lord Hokage, what are the attitudes of the other countries?"

Nara Shikaku, who was standing to the side, was the first to ask a question.

"The Land of Water and the Land of Wind have already agreed; only the Raikage and we have not yet expressed our opinions."

Shizune, who was sitting behind Tsunade, spoke up.

"Has the Sand Village already chosen the Fifth Kazekage?"
