I, Naruto Uzumaki, don't need your approval.

Sasuke snorted coldly. He had already had his fill of being fed dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing romantic displays of affection), and now he only wanted to challenge stronger opponents.

……

Before long, the group arrived near the military fortress. The tower inside the fortress was the location for the Five Kage Summit.

After entering the fortress, Naruto and his companions were taken to an inn to wait for the arrival of the other ninja village leaders.

Lying in the men's bath, Naruto amplified his sensory abilities, perceiving his surroundings while pondering the events surrounding the Five Kage Summit.

In his memory, Konoha sent Danzo to the Five Kage Summit, during which Danzo attempted to control Mifune, and Sasuke Uchiha fought the Five Kage one-on-one and was brutally beaten...

Thinking of this, Naruto glanced at Sasuke beside him, and a smile gradually appeared on his lips.

Sasuke noticed Naruto's amused gaze and his face turned terrified: "What mischief are you up to now? Don't come any closer, whatever you do, don't come any closer."

"It's nothing, I just remembered how you got brutally beaten up when you took on the Five Kage single-handedly..."

Why should I take on the Five Kage one-on-one?

"Who knows? Maybe after becoming stronger, he thought he was invincible, so he couldn't wait to challenge stronger opponents, and ended up getting a beating."

"..." Sasuke remained silent, this was exactly what he was thinking.

However, that was something Sasuke had experienced before. He wouldn't be easily defeated by the mere Five Kage. Now, apart from Naruto, he is practically unmatched in the ninja world.

Looking at Sasuke's expressive face, Naruto smiled but didn't say anything. He then squatted down in the bathtub and looked at the distant forest.

Black Zetsu certainly wouldn't miss a grand event like the Five Kage Summit. It remains to be seen whether Black Zetsu and Madara Uchiha can come up with some interesting opponents to cheer him up.

After all, if the enemy isn't strong enough, how can you break the Five Kage's mentality and make them willingly join Uzushio Village?

Suppressing the ninja world with absolute force would be convenient, but it would certainly provoke a strong backlash. However, descending as a savior would be a different story.

No one can guarantee that the hero's seal on the Demon King will be permanent. What if something goes wrong?

Just then, a ball of light suddenly appeared in the distant sky. The dazzling light turned the originally dark sky into daylight in an instant, followed by a tremendous earthquake.

"This is the commotion caused by the Tailed Beast Ball! Another Jinchuriki has been attacked!"

Sasuke's eyes lit up with alarm, then he looked at Naruto beside him and said with some eagerness, "Naruto, should we go over and take a look?"

"Then let's go take a look."

Naruto had no objections; he also wanted to see what the commotion was like.

After changing into ninja clothes, Naruto, along with Sasuke and Hinata from next door, headed deep into the forest. After traveling dozens of kilometers, they finally arrived at the battleground.

Due to the explosion of the Tailed Beast Ball, the ground within a few kilometers was riddled with craters.

In the central area, a crater hundreds of meters wide and tens of meters deep appeared, and in the center of the crater, there was an angry and ferocious beast that looked like an octopus with bull horns.

That should be Killer Bee, the Jinchuriki of the Eight-Tails...

However, does the Akatsuki organization still have any members capable of cornering the perfect Jinchuriki, Killer Bee? Or has the Akatsuki finally united for a joint attack?

After scanning the edge of the battlefield, Naruto discovered many puppet fragments and clay.

He was convinced that the Akatsuki would team up to deal with Killer Bee. As for why Madara Uchiha didn't take action himself, if Madara had, Killer Bee wouldn't even have had a chance to go berserk.

While they were pondering, the berserk Killer Bee noticed Naruto and the others and pounced on them without hesitation.

Just before hitting Naruto, Hinata teleported to Killer Bee's side, and a Bagua Field appeared around her body, blocking Killer Bee's attack. Sharp bone spikes pierced through the flesh of the Eight-Tails, throwing Killer Bee away.

After being thrown several hundred meters away, the berserk Killer Bee struggled to his feet and opened his mouth to condense a black and red Tailed Beast Ball.

The massive chakra surge caused Sasuke's expression to change, and he was ready to activate Susanoo at any moment. However, Hinata had already arrived beside Killer Bee, and the enormous repulsive force directly repelled Killer Bee, causing the Tailed Beast Ball to explode on the spot.

With a loud bang.

Amidst the billowing dust, Hinata, carrying the unconscious Killer Bee, approached Naruto with a radiant smile and said, "Naruto-kun, I have subdued the enemy who threatened you."

Naruto nodded, quite satisfied with Hinata's performance.

Dealing with a rampaging Jinchuriki would require complex calculations and a large number of elite Jonin-level assistants for a typical Kage-level shinobi, but for Hinata, who is also skilled in violence, it is a very easy task.

After all, in terms of sheer destructive power, there aren't many that can surpass the Tenseigan.

Even though Hinata hasn't awakened the complete Tenseigan yet, it's enough to deal with explosive Jinchuriki who only use brute force.

Sasuke, standing to the side, looked on incredulously. He thought Naruto was just saying that Hinata was strong.

But now it seems that Hinata's strength is no less than his. When did Hinata catch up with him...? It hurts so much.

After Hinata effortlessly ended the battle, Naruto first retrieved the severed Eight-Tails tail and sealed it into his body before looking at the unconscious Killer Bee.

It's not surprising that the Akatsuki would take action against Killer Bee, but does that mean they've already collected the other tailed beasts?

However, none of that matters. According to my memories from my previous life, activating the Gedo Mazo doesn't require all the tailed beasts. As long as the Nine-Tails, the most crucial one, is present, the Ten-Tails can be revived.

Just as Naruto was waiting for Killer Bee to regain consciousness, a figure crackling with lightning appeared before them and hissed, "Lightning Release: Lightning Slaughter Level!"

Before he could finish speaking, he slashed at Naruto, who was in the lead, with a chop to the neck.

Chapter 304 Sasuke vs. the Fourth Raikage

Since the death of the Fourth Hokage, the Fourth Raikage has become the fastest ninja in the ninja world.

With the enhancement of Lightning Release chakra, the Fourth Raikage's figure could only be barely caught by the Sharingan, and his explosive power was terrifyingly astonishing, enough to shatter boulders weighing tens of thousands of tons.

But soon, the Fourth Raikage was surprised to find that the Naruto he had hit was just an afterimage.

After the afterimage disappeared, Naruto appeared dozens of meters away, staring at the Fourth Raikage who looked like Kennen unleashing his ultimate attack, and said to Sasuke beside him, "Sasuke, this is an opponent on your level. Make the most of this opportunity."

Sasuke snorted coldly, drew the short sword from his waist, and instantly appeared in front of the Fourth Raikage.

"Big guy who only knows brute force, your opponent is me. Don't even think about getting past me until you defeat me. But I doubt you'll ever get the chance. I'll let you experience despair properly."

In response to Sasuke's boastful remarks, the Fourth Raikage delivered a powerful punch without even bothering to name the move.

When Sasuke truly faced the Fourth Raikage's sharp edge, he felt immense pressure. He then used his sword to block the heavy punch, and his Lightning Blade pierced directly towards the Fourth Raikage's waist.

With a clang, Sasuke's short sword was knocked away, and his Lightning Blade disappeared into the lightning, having little effect.

After a slight change in expression, Sasuke took a few steps back, activated Susanoo, and a blue phantom appeared around his body. He then swung his heavy fist at the Fourth Raikage.

After dodging the heavy blow with a blink of an eye, the Fourth Raikage threw a punch at Susanoo.

Fine cracks appeared on the surface of Susanoo, but they were quickly repaired by chakra, and it moved towards the third stage form, where Susanoo warriors wielding swords and wearing armor appeared on the ground.

As their size increases, their speed also slows down.

The Fourth Raikage seized the opportunity and kept attacking Susanoo, but he was unable to break through Susanoo's defense. His expression became increasingly gloomy, and he kept rushing towards Killer Bee's position.

But how could Sasuke allow the Fourth Raikage to be distracted? After forming hand seals, he shouted, "Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!"

In an instant, the area within a radius of several tens of meters centered on Susanoo was engulfed in a sea of ​​fire, causing the surrounding air temperature to rise by several tens of degrees and melting the nearby snow.

While the Fourth Raikage and Sasuke were fighting, Naruto and Hinata were eating sunflower seeds.

Hinata felt that it was wrong to watch her teammates fight while she remained on the sidelines, but her body betrayed her and she stayed put, even activating her Byakugan to watch Sasuke and the Fourth Raikage battle through the thick smoke.

It must be said that the fighting styles of the Fourth Raikage and Sasuke were very intense and exciting, but after a few minutes, neither of them was injured, which seemed to suggest that they were acting.

Meanwhile, the Fourth Raikage's guards, watching Naruto and Hinata eating sunflower seeds, broke out in a cold sweat.

Their strongest Raikage in Kumogakure could only fight one of the three to a draw. How could they deal with the other two and rescue Killer Bee?

At this moment, Darui walked up to Naruto with a blank expression and asked, "Hello, may I take Lord Killer Bee away? Lord Killer Bee needs treatment."

Naruto glanced at Darui and then nodded.

And so, Darui carried the unconscious Killer Bee to the guard's side, waved to Cynthia, and said, "Cynthia, come quickly and treat Lord Killer Bee..."

Seeing this, the guards were speechless. Darui rescued Killer Bee so easily?

Darui said expressionlessly, "The two over there are not enemies. They are the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki and the successor of the Hyuga clan. If I'm not mistaken, they must have saved Lord Killer Bee."

"...Then why did Lord Raikage go to fight?"

Darui shrugged and said, "Who knows? Lord Raikage has always been impulsive and reckless. He hadn't encountered any strong opponents before, but now it seems he's met his match."

"Why is there a hint of schadenfreude in your tone?" the others complained.

When the two Kage-level powerhouses fought to the edge of the battlefield and even their chakra was exhausted, the other ninjas who sensed the commotion arrived one after another and joined in the spectating.

The Fourth Raikage, who started it all, gradually realized something was wrong, but he was already in a difficult situation.

They could only gradually reduce the scale of the battle, turning it from a desperate fight into a friendly spar. It wasn't until Mifune, the general of the Land of Iron, stepped forward that he coldly snorted and said, "I didn't expect Konoha to have a strong fighter like you. You are truly a promising young man."

Immediately afterwards, the Fourth Raikage came to Naruto's side and said, "Thank you all for saving Killer Bee. I apologize for my reckless behavior just now. If you have the opportunity, I hope you can visit Kumogakure."

Naruto shrugged, ignoring the Fourth Raikage, and walked towards Sasuke: "So, Sasuke, did you manage to steal the Fourth Raikage's Lightning Release Chakra Mode?"

"The Fourth Raikage has been demonstrating for so long, you haven't learned it yet, have you?"

"By the way, Raikage-sama, if Sasuke learns Lightning Release Chakra Mode, it shouldn't be considered stealing your village's secret technique, right..."

Upon hearing this, the Fourth Raikage paused for a moment, then waved his hand and laughed, "No, no, of course not."

Lightning Release Chakra Mode is one of the secret techniques of Kumogakure. Even with hands-on instruction, it would take several years to learn, and it also requires extremely high talent in Lightning Release. How could this Uchiha brat have learned Lightning Release Chakra Mode in just over ten minutes?

If that Uchiha brat could really learn Lightning Release Chakra Mode, he would directly...

Right there, the Fourth Raikage noticed arcs of electricity appearing on Sasuke's body. Sasuke, with a cold expression, said, "Who do you think you are? Of course I've learned Lightning Release Chakra Mode."

The Fourth Raikage's smile instantly froze. Could it be that Sasuke had really learned it?

The Raikage's guards nearby were even more bewildered. What kind of talent was this to learn the enemy's ninjutsu in battle? Even if the Sharingan could copy ninjutsu, it couldn't copy a secret technique of this level.

Sasuke was very satisfied with the expressions of the Fourth Raikage and his guards. He showed a disdainful look, turned around, and left behind the image of Dugu Qiubai. He had finally succeeded in showing off for once.

After an awkward silence that lasted for a while, the host, Mifune, stepped forward and said:

"Saving the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki and clearing up the misunderstanding are all good things. However, now that everyone is here, the most urgent task is to convene the Five Kage Summit to discuss how to deal with Amegakure, which is threatening the entire ninja world."

Everyone nodded, having no objection to Mifune's suggestion.

However, their attention was focused on Naruto and his two companions, as these three young powerhouses gave them a bad feeling.

Chapter 305 The Fourth Shinobi World War Begins

Several tens of minutes later, the Five Shadows Summit was successfully convened.

In addition to the current five Kage, members of Uzushio Village led by Naruto also appeared on the list, and their rankings were slightly higher, which made the Third Tsuchikage and the Fourth Raikage quite unhappy.
