If Naruto Uzumaki had created the seal that could cover the entire village all by himself, it would have taken him several months and all his chakra to create it.

In Onoki's view, this behavior was a complete waste of talent. If he had such talent when he was a teenager, he would definitely have ignored everything else and focused solely on training.

Gangzi Tie continued to talk: "What's most impressive is that the Hokage only spent half an hour and used only one-tenth of his chakra to set up this seal."

Upon hearing this, Onoki became somewhat unsettled.

"According to the Hokage, this seal alone is enough to annihilate a Kage-level powerhouse."

Onoki couldn't help but gasp.

"Moreover, even if a powerful figure like Pain were to attack, we could hold him off for ten minutes and immediately inform the Hokage."

At this moment, Onoki could no longer suppress the muscles on his face, revealing an expression of utter shock.

How could such a powerful village-protecting seal be possible?!

It's important to understand that the primary purpose of ordinary village protection seals, including those of the four major nations, is to alert them to enemy invasions and their locations.

Defense is not so important, because each of the major ninja villages will definitely have experts in sealing techniques to break it. If it is Iwagakure, Onoki can directly use Dust Release to break it.

But this seal in Konoha actually has the function of annihilating enemies, and is even powerful enough to kill a Kage-level shinobi?

And that line, "Even if Payne came, he could hold them off for ten minutes..."

Onoki couldn't help but wonder: would his invincible Dust Release technique be effective against Konoha's protective seal?

He personally witnessed Naruto learn Dust Release, so Onoki definitely wouldn't believe that Naruto didn't develop a countermeasure for Dust Release.

Thinking back to that intense sense of crisis I just felt...

Onoki, a powerful Kage-level shinobi, and one of the stronger ones at that, actually felt threatened by a seal.

Thinking back to how he had previously considered whether to unite with the other three major powers to fight against Konoha, he worried that they might not even be able to enter their gates!

After registration, they were quickly taken to a pre-arranged hotel to rest and await the start of the talks.

Upon entering the inn, the first thing that catches the eye is the Mizukage Zabuza and the Kazekage Sasori chatting, while their bodyguards Haku and Gaara stand behind them, occasionally chiming in with a few words.

Although they were supposed to be chatting, Onoki felt that the content of their conversation seemed a little strange.

"When Lord Uzumaki came to Sunagakure, it was like the sun rising, bringing light and warmth, and even generously transforming the desert into an oasis!"

"There's also mechanical arts. After Lord Uzumaki visited Sunagakure, I think mechanical arts can now be divided into three levels. The highest level is undoubtedly Lord Uzumaki, the second level is me, and the third level is everyone else in the ninja world. There's a huge gap between each level."

"Lord Uzumaki is also in Kirigakure..."

"Ahem, what Zabuza-sama means is that we have also long admired Uzumaki-sama."

As Ōnoki listened to the conversation between the four, the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily.

So you all idolize Naruto Uzumaki so much, are you all spiritual Konoha people?

He originally wanted to subtly encourage other ninja villages to attack Konoha, so that Iwagakure could reap the benefits.

Now it seems that if he dares to make such a suggestion, he might be besieged by the Kazekage and Mizukage!

"Oh? It's the Fourth Tsuchikage and the Third Tsuchikage," Gaara greeted them.

"Would you like to join us in discussing the greatness of Lord Uzumaki? I've heard that Iwagakure also benefited from Lord Uzumaki's blessings."

Blessings...

Onoki's face darkened.

If I had to categorize it, the new version of the exploding clay could be considered one, and it even took away so much of their tailed beast chakra.

Deidara was quite happy to go up and greet him.

"Hey, Sasori-nii, long time no see! With Naruto-nii's help lately, my art has really taken a leap forward!"

"Hmph, I'm the same in receiving Lord Uzumaki's favor," Sasori retorted defiantly.

Just then, several disheveled figures walked into the hotel.

Leading the group are Yugito, the Jinchūriki of the Two-Tails, and Killer Bee, the Jinchūriki of the Eight-Tails.

They both had some injuries, and although the wounds had scabbed over thanks to the powerful healing ability of the tailed beast chakra, they still looked quite distressed.

"What's going on here, folks from the Land of Lightning...?" Sasori asked curiously.

His question only made things more awkward for Killer Bee and Yugito.

"Uh...no, it's nothing," the two replied casually.

The main problem is that it's too embarrassing to talk about this.

Although Yugito, who was temporarily assuming the duties of the Raikage, did not forget to notify the ninjutsu like Deidara, she was still more sensitive due to her Jinchuriki status. The moment she sensed the danger, she launched an attack on the spot.

As a result... they were soundly beaten up by Konoha's gate.

She was literally beaten up by Daimon, because she witnessed Daimon of Konoha "stand up" and turn into a wooden statue, hanging her and Killer Bee, two perfect Jinchūriki, up and beating them.

At this moment, Yugito recalled that day when Naruto Uzumaki piloted a wooden doll and utterly crushed their Raikage.

She was furious, but there was nothing she could do; she couldn't win. The gatekeeper came to her rescue, otherwise, if the two perfect Jinchūriki had died like that, it would have been a laughing stock!

Chapter 120 Five Kage Summit

Konoha Village, the site of the Five Kage Summit.

Upon arriving, Onoki stared at the table in front of him, momentarily at a loss for words.

Because this is a rectangular table with only one main seat and four smaller seats.

What does this mean? Are they trying to intimidate us? It's like they're making us, the Four Kage, their subjects!

Onoki suddenly felt a fire burning in his chest.

Back when Hashirama Senju was still alive, everyone sat at a five-pointed star table, and the five great nations were equal in status.

If it were the Five Kage Summit held in the decades since Hashirama Senju's death, it would be the neutral Land of Iron, whose general Mifune, who provided the venue, would sit in the host's seat.

What's going on here?

Just as Onoki was feeling dissatisfied, Zabuza and Sasori acted as if nothing had happened, sitting down in the seat below the head of the table. Haku and Gaara also stood behind their respective kage, seemingly not finding anything wrong with it.

If that were all, it wouldn't be so bad, but Deidara also sat down next to Sasori and started discussing art with him.

You've completely disgraced the Tsuchikage!

Despite thinking this, Onoki still obediently used the Light-Heavy Rock Technique to float behind Deidara.

He is no longer the Japanese film star of today.

Yugito and Killer Bee entered the conference room and were stunned by what they saw. They opened their mouths as if they wanted to say something, but in the end, they sat down opposite Deidara without saying a word.

Naruto was the last to arrive, using the Flying Thunder God Technique to bring himself and Shikamaru over just one second before the agreed time.

"Hello everyone." Naruto greeted them with a smile and naturally took the seat of honor. Shikamaru glanced at the others and then quietly stood behind Naruto.

"Brother Naruto." / "Lord Uzumaki." / "Lord Hokage."

Naruto then coughed twice to signal everyone to be quiet, and announced, "The Five Kage Summit will now begin."

"Today we have two main topics to discuss. The first is to pay attention to these people."

Although a list had already been sent to all the major ninja villages, Naruto still instructed Shikamaru to send them a more detailed list now.

Deidara and Sasori only glanced at the information they didn't know, since they were originally members of the Akatsuki organization and knew much more about Akatsuki than Zabuza and Yugito.

After seeing it, Onoki was also very worried: they actually had two pairs of Mangekyou Sharingan, and even the Sage's Eye had fallen into their hands. They were a dangerous organization.

What's even more dangerous is that their Land of Earth was recently cooperating with the Akatsuki organization...

Of course, if we really look into it, the most outrageous thing is that the current Tsuchikage and Kazekage were both once members of the Akatsuki organization.

Thinking of this, Onoki couldn't help but glance at the current Five Kage, feeling quite emotional: times have changed.

In just a few short years, all five Kage have been replaced.

After all the Kage or their external brains had reviewed the information, Naruto finally spoke up: "Obito Uchiha's goal is to collect the chakra of the nine tailed beasts to revive the Ten-Tails. If I were to briefly introduce the Ten-Tails, you can understand it as being several times stronger than the nine tailed beasts combined."

As soon as Naruto finished speaking, a collective gasp filled the conference room.

Tailed beasts are already capable of changing the course of a war, so how powerful must the Ten-Tails, which is several times stronger than them combined, be?

"In order to stop Obito Uchiha from capturing all the Tailed Beasts, I propose that all the Jinchuriki be gathered in one place and protected with strong defenses until we kill Obito Uchiha."

"What?!" Yugito and Killer Bee reacted the most violently.

The Land of Lightning already has very few ninja left, and if they hide these two Jinchuriki as well, how low will the Land of Lightning's national strength drop!

Oh, it's practically defunct now.

But this doesn't stop them from suspecting that Naruto might be using this as an excuse to concentrate all nine tailed beasts in Konoha's hands.

Onoki thought the same way. He even believed that this was the first step in Konoha's plan to weaken other major powers, and that they would definitely find further ways to weaken them in the future.

After Naruto finished speaking, Haku hesitated.

Killer Bee and Yugito's faces were practically screaming resistance.

“I’m fine with it.” Gaara immediately agreed with Naruto’s suggestion.

Naruto took in everyone's reactions and said calmly, "Let me make this clear to you all. You've all seen the information that was sent out. With Obito Uchiha's Mangekyou Sharingan, even if the Jinchuriki are hidden, he will definitely find them in the end."

"Then why bother with this?" Yukito asked cautiously.

"In order to buy time."

Delaying time?

Naruto calmly explained, "I'm stalling for time until I grow stronger than the Sage of Six Paths, or even strong enough to defeat the Ten-Tails."

Everyone fell silent.

If Naruto hadn't looked so serious, they would have thought he was joking.

Haku then raised his hand, and Naruto nodded to indicate that he could speak.

So Bai asked, "How long do you want to delay?"

He had just confirmed with the Three-Tails that the Ten-Tails was true.

This is indeed a reason to stop Obito Uchiha's actions; otherwise, aside from anything else, he, as a Jinchūriki, would definitely die.
