“This is…” Hei Tu glanced at it briefly, his expression becoming serious.

But Deidara's reaction was...

"So it was Naruto who wanted to see me. Why didn't you say so earlier!"

With that, Deidara prepared to ride the clay bird to Konoha.

"Come back!" Onoki snapped, his face darkening.

One of the scrolls contained a technique, a notification type, meant for the four Kage to learn before heading to Konoha. Onoki didn't pay much attention to it and simply handed it to Deidara.

The main item is another scroll, which, to be precise, contains an invitation from Naruto Uzumaki, in his capacity as Hokage, to the other four great nations to come to Konoha for a Five Kage Summit.

This feels like a trap...

The main point is that Naruto Uzumaki truly had the ability to keep the other four Kage in Konoha forever!

“I don’t think we should go. If we’re going to have a Five Kage Summit, it should be held in neutral small countries like the Land of Iron. Are they trying to ambush us by calling everyone to Konoha?” Kurotsuchi frowned slightly and immediately denied it.

"Come on, if Naruto really wanted to destroy the ninja world like that, it's not like you guys could stop him." Deidara rolled his eyes.

Upon hearing this, Onoki and Kurotsuchi fell silent.

A few days earlier, they had received information about the Akatsuki organization, also from Konoha.

The above content mainly states that the Akatsuki organization, which aims to collect Tailed Beasts, has been destroyed but some have still escaped. They will inevitably target the Jinchuriki of the major ninja villages, so everyone should be careful. A wanted list is also attached.

It was only then that Onoki realized that his Five-Tails Jinchuriki had been captured by the Akatsuki organization a long time ago, which explained why they couldn't find him no matter how hard they looked.

What concerned him even more was the strength of the Akatsuki organization.

After Naruto's decisive battle with the Akatsuki, all the major ninja villages sent their ANBU to the Land of Rain to investigate the traces left by the battle.

This investigation left everyone speechless.

The traces of battle stretched from the Land of Rain to the border of the Land of Fire, and a forest twice the size of Konoha was razed to the ground.

No one could imagine what kind of battle could be so terrifying, could the four of them combined achieve that?

Fortunately and unfortunately, Naruto was the final victor.

Good news: Naruto has destroyed the Akatsuki organization, which harbored malicious intentions and wanted to capture the Tailed Beasts.

Bad news: Naruto is from Konoha, which has severely disrupted the balance of power among the five great nations.

That's why Onoki is so worried, unsure of how to respond to Naruto's invitation.

Go? What if it's a trap?

Should I not go? What if I anger Naruto and he attacks the very next day?

Onoki subconsciously thought of the alliance against Konoha proposed by the Daimyo of the Land of Water.

But he quickly dismissed the idea, for no other reason than that he couldn't even be sure if the four great powers combined were a match for Konoha.

Even their own Tsuchikage is loyal to Naruto Uzumaki...

"Sigh." Onoki sighed.

"Grandpa, shouldn't we really not go?" Heitu asked tentatively.

“I’m going, and I’m going with Deidara,” Onoki suddenly decided.

"why?"

"Whether we go or not, it might lead to an attack from Konoha, so we might as well go and probe their strength. Anyway, we don't have any other choice now."

Onoki couldn't help but smile wryly: "Who told Konoha to be so lucky, producing one genius after another like this?"

"First it was Hashirama Senju, and now Naruto Uzumaki has appeared. Naruto Uzumaki is even so young, yet his talent is even more terrifying than Hashirama Senju's."

Black Soil was also somewhat helpless.

She was a genius who had mastered the bloodline limit "Lava Release" and was quite powerful. She was even once groomed by Onoki to be the next Tsuchikage.

But that's how the world is; sometimes the gap between people is greater than the gap between people and dogs.

Deidara's attitude was nothing like the two of them, who were both annoyed: "It's just a trip to Konoha, what's there to be afraid of? Maybe Naruto will share some good stuff with us again."

"Shut up!" Onoki and Kurotsuchi shouted in unison.

......

Konoha, inside the Hokage's office.

"Shikamaru, have the other four great nations replied?" Naruto asked casually.

"Yes, the Land of Wind and the Land of Water were the most enthusiastic, telling the envoy on the spot that they would participate. The Land of Earth took a little time to consider it, and the Land of Lightning was the last to make a decision, but they will also participate." Shikamaru yawned and replied sullenly.

"That's good." Naruto nodded, relieved.

Looks like I won't have to make another trip.

"Hey, Naruto, what are you planning to say at the Five Kage Summit?" Although Shikamaru likes to slack off, he will still do his duty. It is necessary for him to find out so that he can make arrangements.

"On the one hand, we need to talk to them about the concentration of human jinchūriki."

Shikamaru was not surprised by this. The resurrection of the Ten-Tails was indeed a major event that had to be guarded against. They would need to discuss who would protect the Jinchuriki.

Thinking of this, he subconsciously reviewed the manpower in Konoha Village in his mind while asking, "On the other hand?"

“On the other hand…” Naruto smiled slightly.

"I am going to announce a new production ninjutsu."

Chapter 119 The gates of Konoha have already been erected, so what's the point of fighting?

The Land of Fire.

Two large, pure white clay birds soared freely in the sky, with the one in front flying particularly fast.

However, the two people sitting on it reacted differently.

"Deidara, why are you flying so fast? Can't you be a little more considerate of an old man!" Onoki shouted.

"It's this fast because of the new version of the explosive clay. Old man, don't you know the Light and Heavy Rock Technique? Go down and fly yourself!" Deidara replied nonchalantly.

As soon as Deidara finished speaking, Onoki actually jumped down.

"Hey? Old man, you're really jumping?"

Deidara was about to control the clay bird to fly down and catch Onoki when he suddenly realized why Onoki jumped down—they had arrived in Konoha!

Onoki used the Light-Heavy Rock Technique in mid-air to slowly land on the ground, patting his old back.

"You really have to admit you're getting old..."

Deidara also piloted the Clay Bird to the entrance of Konoha, jumped down lightly from it, and transformed the Clay Bird back into Explosive Clay and put it away.

Soon, another type of clay bird landed beside them, and the figures of black and yellow clay jumped down from above.

"This is truly the most uncomfortable mode of transportation I've ever experienced," Heitu complained as he stretched his limbs.

"If you're uncomfortable, don't sit. Just fly by yourself. You don't understand art at all." Deidara rolled his eyes at her.

Seeing that the two were about to start arguing again, Huang Tu quickly acted as a peacemaker and stopped them from arguing.

At this moment, Onoki spoke up, "Let's go, let's go inside Konoha first."

The group walked towards the gates of Konoha. Kurotsuchi leaned close to Ono Mokuji and asked, "Grandpa, we're here representing the Land of Earth, shouldn't Konoha send someone to greet us?"

Onoki stroked his beard, also feeling a bit strange: "It should be inside, right?"

However, halfway there, the group seemed to have bumped into an invisible barrier and had to stop.

"Is it a village-protecting seal...? Hmm!!"

As Onoki walked ahead, he suddenly felt an intense pressure, so strong that even this veteran Kage-level shrew felt his life was threatened, as if some terrifying enemy was standing in front of him.

Just as he was about to subconsciously use Dust Escape, the oppressive force suddenly dissipated.

"Are you from Iwagakure? I'm so sorry, I startled you. But why didn't you notify us beforehand?" The gatekeeper, Izumo Kamui, stepped forward to apologize to them and temporarily added the four to the village's protective seal whitelist.

Kurotsuchi, with a look of relief, immediately retorted angrily, "Is this how Konoha is...?"

Before she could finish speaking, Huang Tu covered her mouth with yellow earth.

Sensing the dissatisfaction of the others, Izumo Kamitsu apologized again.

"What's wrong? Are there enemies?" Gangzi Tie, who was also a gatekeeper, came to Shenyue Izumo's side at this time.

After Izumo explained to him, Kotetsu looked surprised: "Then why didn't they notify us in advance? Didn't the Hokage instruct that he sent notification ninjutsu to the four Kage? If they had notified us in advance, the village-protecting seal wouldn't have reacted, right?"

Notification of ninjutsu?

Onoki froze on the spot, because he suddenly remembered that there was such a thing, and he had given it to Deidara.

"Deidara...can you explain this?" Kurotsuchi looked at Deidara with a face full of resentment.

Deidara scratched the back of his head, looking as if he had just realized something: "Oh, it does seem to be true, but I forgot, because it's a technique that has nothing to do with art."

"You bastard!"

Kurotsuchi was about to step forward and beat up Deidara when Onoki stopped her.

"Alright, alright, don't let the people of Konoha laugh at us," Onoki said in a low voice.

He then looked at Izumo and Kotetsu again, coughed twice to clear his throat.

"Gentlemen, we are here on behalf of Iwagakure to attend the Five Kage Summit. Please lead the way."

"Come register first."

Although he was impatient with these procedures, since it was their territory after all, Onoki arranged for Hirotsuchi to register.

While waiting, he casually inquired, "May I ask which master set up the protective seal of your village? Could you please introduce me?"

"You will see it soon, because it was set up by the Hokage."

Onoki was taken aback, feeling somewhat surprised, but upon closer reflection, he realized it made perfect sense.

After learning that Naruto Uzumaki had defeated Pain, the Akatsuki member with the Sage's Eyes, Onoki felt that he would not be surprised no matter what the other party did next.

Seeing that Onoki was interested in his village's protective seal, Kotetsu immediately showed a proud expression, "The Hokage is exceptionally talented, so it's normal for him to create such a powerful protective seal."

Onoki nodded outwardly, but inwardly he disagreed.
