Listen to advice: I, Sasuke, why should I defect to Konoha?

Not to mention that Kumogakure has lost its ultimate weapon, the Two-Tails, even with the Two-Tails, Kumogakure is still no match for Akatsuki!

"According to the Fourth Tsuchikage, the leader of Akatsuki possesses the legendary Rinnegan! Lord Raikage, you should attend the Five Kage Summit even if it is just for this information." Darui followed closely in agreement, fearing that Kumogakure would miss the information about the Rinnegan.

No matter what, the eyes of the Six Paths Sage are too intimidating!!

Looking at the nervous people, the Fourth Raikage looked around and clenched his fists, "Who said that we, the Kumogakure, will not participate?"

"Lord Raikage, then why did you..." Hearing this, everyone showed joy on their faces, while some looked at the Raikage in confusion, not knowing what his contradictory words meant...

"Attending the talks is just a formality to divert attention and get information about the Rinnegan." The Fourth Raikage explained, and then his eyes became sharp and sharp, "The real purpose is to send troops to attack the Land of Earth at the end of the talks. The Fourth Tsuchikage? Haha, we can't let go of this golden opportunity for revenge!"

Thinking of his father, the Third Raikage, who died in the Third World War under the siege of tens of thousands of Iwagakure ninjas, the Fourth Raikage could not resist this God-given opportunity!

Konoha and Sunagakure are restrained by Akatsuki, so it's just the right time for them to fight each other first. They, Kumogakure, will take the opportunity to destroy Iwagakure and annex the Land of Earth, and finally reap the benefits!

Thinking of the immediate benefits, the Fourth Raikage suddenly became excited and ambitious, "From now on, the village will suspend all tasks and enter a state of war. Everyone is ready to be deployed and immediately organize a material coordination department to ensure logistics..."

"It's time to settle our feud with Iwagakure!!"

Chapter 316: Team Captain, Fifth Generation Terumi Mei Takes the Position

"Huh... I'm finally home. Konoha is still a comfortable place to be..."

"Ramen, ramen, I want to eat ten bowls of Ichiraku ramen, with more meat and more quantity!!"

"Wow... I haven't eaten my favorite Ichiraku Ramen in a long time! You don't know how I've been living outside for the past two years..."

In Konoha, Naruto looked at the familiar gate with great excitement.

Two and a half years. He has been away from the village for two and a half years!

This was the first time he had been away from Konoha for such a long time since he regained consciousness...

"That's Naruto!!"

"It is indeed him, that's right. Lord Jiraiya returned a few days ago, so it is only natural for him to return."

Almost at the same time as Naruto exclaimed, Konoha's gate gods, Gang Zi Tetsu and Shen Yue Zu Yun, turned their heads and looked sideways...

"Disband, you can do whatever you want. I'm going to the Hokage Building to report on the mission first." Sasuke looked helplessly at Naruto who was yelling, held his forehead and disappeared in an instant.

Isn't it just ramen? Why is this guy so serious?

"Sakura, Karin, I'll go back first! Ramen, ramen, ramen..." Seeing Sasuke leaving, Naruto, who was drooling with greed, immediately said hello and turned into a shadow and ran towards Ichiraku Ramen.

The momentum was so intense, as if they were ready to fight someone to the death!

Sakura and Karin looked at each other, lowered their heads in silence, and went home. After a long journey, the first priority for a girl was to take a refreshing bath...

Hokage's Office

"Very good, now the Kazekage will be fine!" After hearing Sasuke's report, Tsunade couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

If something unexpected happened to the Kazekage, the relationship between Sand Village and Konoha might change again, which she didn't want to see...

"By the way, Sasuke, Naruto is back! The number of people in Team 7 has exceeded four. So I want to transfer Sakura to the medical team, or you can replace Kakashi as the captain of Team 7. What do you think about this?" Just as Tsunade was about to send Sasuke back to rest, she suddenly thought of something and asked seriously.

She had thought this through carefully...

It is said that Sasuke, who has become a jonin, and Sakura and Karin, who have become chuunin, must form a new team to maximize their combat power.

But because of the threat from Akatsuki and the potential threat from Sasuke and Naruto, she had to let the two continue to check and balance each other in a team.

Furthermore, Karin, who possesses the Uzumaki sealing technique and physical healing, is a necessary candidate.

Therefore, separating Sakura is the best option! Because only Kakashi can prevent the unexpected situation that the two of them go berserk at the same time...

However, from Konoha's perspective, it is a bit of a waste to trap Kakashi, a Hokage-level ninja, in the team.

So, she left the choice to Sasuke.

To be precise, it was testing Sasuke's control over the "wedge".

Almost at the same time Tsunade made the suggestion, Sasuke heard two reminders at the same time.

[Tsunade's suggestion is detected, triggering A-level reward.

Mission: Eliminate Sakura; Reward: Super Chakra Scalpel...】

[Tsunade's suggestion is detected, triggering A-level reward.

Mission: Captain of Team 7; Reward: Spiritualization Training Scroll...】

Sasuke's breath hitched when he heard about the spirit transformation technique.

Tsunade actually knows how to practice this S-level forbidden technique, the Spiritualization Technique! !

However, thinking that Kato Dan, who possessed the secret technique of spiritual transformation, was Tsunade's ex-boyfriend, Sasuke was relieved...

So, is there still a choice?

"We have to grow up on our own. We can't be protected by Kakashi-sensei forever. So, let's be the captain of Team 7!"

Without hesitation, Sasuke chose to become the captain of Team 7.

Not for anything else, just to give Naruto a surprise. How could he remain indifferent to such an interesting thing!

What super chakra scalpel? Is it sharper than his Red Thunder Chidori?

[Task completed, reward obtained: Spiritualization Training Scroll...]

Almost at the same time as Sasuke made his choice, the system reward arrived as expected.

Sasuke felt his trouser pocket sink slightly, and a scroll appeared silently in his pocket.

"You're right, you all have to grow up! And because of the influence of Akatsuki, Kakashi is also needed to guard the border between the Fire Country and the Rain Country just in case." Tsunade nodded in agreement with satisfaction, and it was obvious from her words that she had made up her mind.

"Has it come to this?" Sasuke ignored Tsunade's test and asked directly with an unexpected glint in his eyes.

Tsunade nodded carefully, "Although Akatsuki hasn't made any moves yet, how can we not make preparations now that we know they are in the Hidden Rain Village. Akatsuki may already have four or five tailed beasts now, we must not take it lightly."

"After the Five Kage Summit goes smoothly, we can join forces with the four major nations to attack the Rain Country and destroy the Akatsuki. Kakashi going there can be considered as advance preparation..."

Sasuke nodded in agreement when he heard this. As the saying goes: How can you allow others to sleep soundly on your bed?

No one can sleep peacefully if they have a neighboring country with nuclear weapons!

What's more, they knew the other party's ambitions. This was bound to happen, it was just a matter of time...

"Then go back and rest! In the next two days, you and Naruto will adapt to your respective growth and wait for the mission. With your strength, the next mission will be at least A-level or above..."

Hearing what Tsunade said, Sasuke's eyes became serious and sharp, "Yes, Hokage..."

"Tsunade, I will be the one collecting intelligence from the Hidden Rain Village. I want to verify a hypothesis about the leader of the Rinnegan..." After Sasuke left, Jiraiya appeared and spoke in a serious tone.

Obviously, he heard everything that happened just now...

"Let's talk about this after the Five Kage Summit!" Tsunade refused without hesitation. How could she let Jiraiya take the risk alone?

Not to mention how powerful the Rinnegan is, even if it's just the strength of Akatsuki plus a few tailed beasts, there's a high probability that Jiraiya will never return when he goes to collect intelligence!

Jiraiya originally wanted to say something, but when he thought about the fact that the Fourth Tsuchikage would announce the information about the Rinnegan at the Five Kage Summit, he gave up for the time being.

Anyway, it won’t make a difference in one or two days…

At the same time, in the Hidden Mist Village.

High-rise conference room.

"The Five Kage Conference..." After understanding the whole story, the Master tapped the ground with his cane and looked at Mei Terumi, "Then, let's begin the succession ceremony for the Fifth Kage!"

"Master Yuanshi..." The faces of the others changed when they heard this, and they looked at Terumi Mei with complicated expressions.

"Without the Mizukage, we, the Kirigakure, cannot attend the Five Kage Summit!" Facing everyone's doubts, the Master said it lightly but powerfully.

In an instant, everyone understood Master Yuan's attitude and who he supported.

Suddenly, everyone's eyes were focused on one place at the same time...

"I understand. I will risk my life to defend the village, defeat Akatsuki and take back the Vulpix that belongs to us." Mei Terumi stood up, her eyes determined and confident.

"In the name of the Fifth Mizukage..."

Chapter 317: Give Ino a cheat, the spirit transformation technique

Konoha

"Hahaha, from now on I am also a Chunin of Konoha!" In the Hokage Building, Inuzuka Kiba patted his brand new Chunin vest and laughed triumphantly.

Beside him were Choji, Sai, Hinata, Tenten and others who were equally excited.

Shikamaru, Neji, and Shino, who are already Chunins, are also among them.

"I never thought I could surpass Naruto and become the first Chunin. This feeling is so great! Teacher Kai, this is the power of youth!!"

"Uh, this fellow Xiao Li is here again..." Looking at Xiao Li with fiery eyes and a loud roar, Xiao Sakura couldn't help but hold her forehead and turned to look at Ino, "By the way, I didn't expect that you guys were actually waiting for us to come back to go through the promotion procedures together."

"After all, we were promoted together in the same class, Sakura..." Ino rolled her eyes and looked at Karin who was standing with Sakura, with a barely perceptible hint of dissatisfaction and disappointment in her eyes.

In this melee, she finally saw the gap in strength between herself and Sakura and Karin. How could she win Sasuke's favor in front of them if she continued like this...

"Everyone..." Just as Ino's thoughts were churning, Sasuke's voice sounded faintly from the door.

Subconsciously, everyone looked sideways and saw Sasuke standing at the door with Naruto, who looked unhappy and frustrated.

"Hey, Sasuke! This promotion has nothing to do with us, why did you drag me here?" Seeing that everyone in the room was wearing a Chunin vest, Naruto crossed his arms and turned around with a pout.

It's not that he doesn't want to look Sasuke in the face, but the dark green jonin vest on Sasuke makes him jealous and uncomfortable! !

Ignoring Naruto's dissatisfaction, Sasuke looked at the group of little cockroaches without blinking. "We may not have time to get together next time, but to celebrate your promotion to Chunin and to welcome Naruto back, I'll treat everyone to a barbecue..."

"Wow!! Barbecue, barbecue, that's awesome, Sasuke is so handsome..." At the first moment, before others could react, Choji raised his hands in approval with his eyes blazing.

"Great, this is a gathering for youth! To show my sincerity, I will do 500 sit-ups within ten minutes. If I can't do it, I will kick my legs 500 times on the spot..."

"Uh, Xiao Li, are you sure you're not wasting so much energy just to eat more barbecue?"

"I see. I didn't expect Xiao Li to be so cunning..."

"No, I didn't, it's just..."

"Hahaha, just kidding."

Seeing everyone's enthusiasm, Sakura's eyebrows moved slightly, "Sasuke-kun always pays for the meal, how about we go AA this time?"
