Naruto: Starting with the Two Kamui

At the mountaintop, dozens of ninjas wearing demon masks stood there. Their leader stood in front of the cliff, watching three people walking down the snowy path from the bottom of the mountain. The leader of the three was wearing a white cloak and a straw hat.

"Target spotted, move out!"

As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of ninjas behind him formed hand seals and launched a group ninjutsu!

Earth Release: Rock Collapse!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Rocks rolled down and crashed down.

The three men at the foot of the mountain stopped, staring at the approaching falling rocks. From beneath the leader's straw hat came a calm male voice: "Don't interfere..."

Whoosh! He quickly formed hand seals.

Wind Release: Net.

Whoosh! A net of wind blades woven together swept into the air, and crack! The large swathe of falling rocks was instantly shattered into countless tiny particles, losing its lethality!

Whoosh! A kunai crackling with lightning pierced through the dust, leaving a scratch on the demon mask of the man beside the cliff...

"Hmph, just kunai? Keep attacking!" he shouted behind him.

"Ah!!" However... the screams of dozens of people rang out almost at the same time.

The man turned around abruptly and saw that... his dozens of men, who had been full of energy just moments before, were now lying dead on the ground!

Beside their bodies, a man dressed in a white cloak and straw hat was holding the kunai he had just used.

Cold sweat soaked his back, and even the demon mask couldn't hide his panic: "What on earth happened?"

Whoosh!

With a flash of light, the kunai was already at his neck.

"Anything that I and my chakra come into contact with will leave an indelible mark. Judging from your masks, you are the Hannya from the Land of Forests, right? Our two countries have a friendly relationship, so why are you unilaterally destroying it?" A calm voice came from under the straw hat.

The man glanced down and saw the mark next to the crack in his mask. He clenched his fist. "Friendly? One-sided? That sounds nice! You're all two-faced. How many of our compatriots have your underlings killed?"

The face hidden under the straw hat hesitated for a moment before saying, "I have never given such an order. There must be some misunderstanding."

"Then why are they dressed in your Anbu uniforms and claiming they're acting on your orders! I've wanted to avenge my people more than once, but I've never had the chance. Finally, this Five Kage Summit made us realize this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so we lay in ambush here waiting for your appearance. I carry the demands of my compatriots, so I absolutely cannot fail. Also, let me tell you, it was a big shot from your Konoha who revealed your route to me, and he gave me an ultimate trump card!"

Whoosh! As soon as he finished speaking, the leader of the Prajna Clan suddenly threw off his gray cloak.

Whoosh! Several talismans appeared on his chest.

"This is... the Inner Four Symbols Seal." A slightly surprised voice came from under the bamboo hat.

Boom!! Black light spread in all directions, expanding into a black sphere hundreds of meters in diameter. When the black sphere disappeared, the mountain was found to have a gap resembling the mouth of a bowl!

Whoosh!

Beside the kunai on the ground, the figure appeared, his white cloak fluttering in the wind. He stood up, adjusting his straw hat, and murmured, "So that's how it is... Danzo, huh."

Boom! !

Nearly ten seconds later, the body of the leader of the Prajna sect fell onto the snow.

Splash splash splash splash...

Startled by the commotion, a large number of warriors from the Land of Iron surrounded them, drawing their katana and looking at the three people before them: "Who goes there? State your identities."

At this moment, the cloaked man gently reached out and removed the straw hat from his head, revealing short blond hair and a young, handsome face. He spoke politely yet with an air of authority: "My name is Minato Namikaze, the Fourth Hokage of Konoha Village in the Land of Fire. I have come to your country to attend the Five Kage Summit."

Wow!

The samurai exchanged bewildered glances, their astonishment emanating from beneath their steel helmets: "Minato Namikaze, the Fourth Hokage of Konoha, the infamous Yellow Flash! I never expected him to be so young!"

Minato Namikaze introduced, "The two behind me are Akimichi Tou and Inuzuka Gaku, who serve as my personal bodyguards."

click!

The samurai sheathed their swords and knelt on one knee to pay their respects: "Lord Minato, welcome to our Land of Iron from afar. But as is our custom, may we ask what happened here just now?"

Minato Namikaze said, "That's right, a group of ninjas ambushed us on the mountain..."

A group? The warriors looked at their leader, who was lying alone on the snow, with puzzled expressions.

At that moment, Akimichi Tou stepped forward from behind Minato, his voice as deep as his physique: "Those dozens of enemies were killed by the Hokage the instant the battle began!"

The samurai were startled: Killed? In an instant?

"Then, where are their bodies? We need to find the bodies and report to General Mifune of the Land of Iron!" said the samurai leading the group.

At this moment, Inuzuka Jax, riding a large yellow ninja dog, stepped forward and said, "The man on the ground is the leader of the attackers. He had already been captured by the Fourth Hokage and, realizing he was doomed, used a forbidden technique to kill himself and the Fourth Hokage. This forbidden technique can seal everything within a radius of hundreds of meters into a corpse in an instant. The corpses of dozens of his comrades are currently inside his body..."

The samurai were sweating profusely upon hearing this, and couldn't help but glance at Minato again.

"Go and see."

"Yes!" A warrior stepped forward to examine the corpse and reported, "There is indeed something resembling a sealing technique on the corpse's chest!"

The leading samurai nodded: "I see. Well then, Fourth Master, we are truly sorry that such a thing happened on our Land of Iron. We will now escort you to the meeting place."

Minato Namikaze said, "No need, you should go and do your business as soon as possible."

"Since that's the case, we'll respectfully comply!" The warriors left with the corpse of the leader of the Prajna sect.

"Phew." Minato Namikaze seemed to breathe a sigh of relief at this moment, and said to the two people behind him, "Thank you both... I'm really not good at dealing with this kind of situation."

"Don't be so polite with us, brother!"

"Even after becoming Hokage, you haven't changed at all, Minato!"

Akimichi Tou and Inuzuka Gaku were both members of Minato's team in the past. They were both older than Minato and had treated him like a younger brother since they were on missions together. Now that Minato has become Hokage, the two of them have become his bodyguards, but in private, Minato still regards them as his older brothers.

"Then let's hurry on our way. I have a feeling that this Five Kage Summit will be fraught with undercurrents..." Minato put on the Hokage hat, his azure eyes gleaming with a sharp light.

Chapter 51 The Five Kage Summit!

In the Land of Iron, at the Five Kage Summit, the flags of the five great nations—Wind, Fire, Earth, Lightning, and Water—stand on the walls.

On the huge circular table facing east and west, all four Kage, except for the Hokage of Konoha, were present.

The initiator of the talks, the Fourth Raikage 'A', sat at the east end, his left arm missing and his sleeve empty, but his imposing presence remained undiminished.

Boom!

The Raikage slammed his right fist on the table, staring at the empty seat to his left. He roared, "Damn Hokage! How dare he make so many of us wait for him? What kind of high and mighty attitude is that? If he doesn't give me a convincing reason, I'll never forgive him!!"

"Lord Raikage, Lord Hokage encountered a slight delay on the way, but should arrive soon. Please be patient."

Sitting opposite Ai to the west, Admiral Mifune of the Land of Iron spoke. As the representative of a neutral country, he was responsible for presiding over the Five Kage Summit and maintaining order at the scene.

"Hmph! Unexpected situations... Konoha always has the most problems!" The Raikage snorted coldly and said impatiently.

"That kid from back then, his temper hasn't changed at all. Maybe that's why you broke an arm at such a young age. Sigh."

On the right side of the Raikage, in the Iwagakure village seat, the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, spoke with the air of someone who had been through it all.

"Huh? What did you say! Mind your own back, you dwarf old man!" Raikage snapped.

"Lord Raikage, please watch your words!!" Behind Onoki, Iwagakure elite Jonin, Huangtu, and Wenya stepped forward.

Behind the Raikage, the elite Jonin of Kumogakure, Tsuchida, and Troy also stepped forward, creating an atmosphere that seemed ready to erupt into conflict.

"Huang Tu, Wen Ya, step back. I'm not going to hold a grudge against a child over something like this."

Onoki said with a smile that at this time, he was a well-known martial arts fighter with both cunning and skill, and secretly did many things similar to Danzo.

"Yes!" Huang Tu and Wen Ya withdrew.

"Hmph!" Raikage snorted coldly.

Right next to the Konoha seats was the Kirigakure seat, where the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, sat with his legs crossed. Like the Raikage, he was also missing an arm. Interestingly, the same person had taken both of their arms.

The people serving as Yagura's bodyguards are no strangers to everyone; they are the only two remaining members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, Kisame Hoshigaki and Mangetsu Hozuki, who were recently bestowed the title of "Two Demons of the Mist" by Lin Yu.

Opposite Yagura sat the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, guarded by Maki and Yura, elite Jonin from Sunagakure.

Luo Sha crossed his arms over his chest, lowered his head, and adopted a detached and aloof demeanor, as if it were none of his business.

He didn't look up until a yellow figure appeared in the doorway, his gaze deep and thoughtful.

"I apologize for being late and for keeping you all waiting." Minato Namikaze strode over.

Behind Onoki, the guard Huang Tu clenched his fists, and Wen Ya even made no attempt to hide his hostility.

The famous Battle of Kannabi Bridge at the end of the Third Shinobi World War... was actually a duel between two elite teams from Konoha and Iwagakure!

The Iwagakure team comprised five of Iwagakure's most outstanding elite Jonin at the time: Hiruzen, Hikari, Oishi, Sumaji, and Higashi no Shijin! Even Hikari and Oishi, who were not particularly outstanding, once pushed Kakashi Hatake, Obito Uchiha, and Rin Nohara to the brink of defeat.

But all five were ultimately wiped out, thanks to Yellow Flash!

The defeat in this battle wiped out the advantage that Iwagakure had built up in the early stages of the Third Shinobi World War, and was ultimately forced to sign a peace treaty with Konoha!

This profound pain made the entire village hate the yellow flashlight to the extreme!

There's even a saying circulating within Iwagakure: Whoever can end Konoha's Yellow Flash will be the next Tsuchikage of Iwagakure!

But no one dared to try... after all, only by staying alive could one possibly become the Tsuchikage.

Minato ignored the hateful gazes, placed the Hokage hat on the table, and sat down calmly, with Akimichi Touhi and Inuzuka Jacques standing guard behind him.

"Now that the Hokage has arrived, I hereby declare the Fourth Five Kage Summit open. Please feel free to speak your minds. As the intermediary, I will witness all your words and actions during the summit," Mifune said.

Boom! !

The Raikage slammed his fist on the table once more: "Hokage!! My brother Killer Bee was attacked by your rogue ninja!! He was seriously injured, and the Eight-Tails was also stolen!! Konoha must give me an explanation!!"

Faced with the Raikage's aggressive approach, Akimichi Toudou and Inuzuka Hachi frowned, but Minato gestured for them not to make any rash moves.

Then he said slowly and deliberately, "Lord Raikage, I understand your feelings, but rogue ninjas are a problem in every country and every village. We cannot completely control their behavior. I can apologize to Lord Raikage and your brother Killer Bee on my personal behalf, but if you want Konoha to give you an explanation for this matter, that is not possible."

"What did you say?!" Raikage stood up abruptly.

Onoki said, "Hey, you look terrible. You're just outmatched, and you've lost everything. What, can't you handle this?"

The Raikage roared, "Onoki, this didn't happen to Iwagakure, so you're just talking without any sense of responsibility!"

Mifune mediated, saying, "Gentlemen, the purpose of this meeting is to jointly seek a solution to the problem. If it's about armed conflict, we can just send troops to attack directly. There's no need to sit here. Since you're here, please have a proper discussion. Arguing won't solve anything."

"Hmph!" Raikage sat down again.

At this moment, Onoki spoke up: "Hokage, although I don't agree with the Raikage's attitude, the Uchiha clan of Konoha has always been a destabilizing factor in the ninja world. From Madara Uchiha in the past to Uchiha Yu now, the Uchiha clan will sooner or later become a cancer in the ninja world. Therefore, for the sake of Konoha and the ninja world, I hope that Konoha can be decisive and nip this evil in the bud. What do you think, Hokage..."

"Old man Onoki, you've finally said something that makes sense! Uchiha Yu must be killed, and the Uchiha clan must not be spared!" Rai responded.
