Chapter 1010: Chapter 12: The Five Kage and the Explosion

”As far as I know, these people are only Uchiha Madara, the First Hokage Senju Hashirama, the Fourth Mizukage Yagura, and Lord Raikage’s brother, Killer Bee, but...”

Danzo’s words made the Raikage’s heart tighten. Mentioning his brother Bee at this time was no casual talk, and Danzo’s ”but...” had many implications.

The Raikage clenched his fist, and at that moment, ten Shadow Guards immediately rushed forward.

”Stop with the rambling.”

The Raikage’s arm was raised high and slammed onto the table in front of him with a bang, his anger already fully accumulated.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

Figures darted out from behind a white cloth, eight of the ten Shadow Guards rushed towards the Raikage, two blocked in front of him, Xi and Darui, the Raikage’s guards.

Just as the Raikage’s fist fell, there was a slight, almost imperceptible fluctuation of chakra within Danzo. The host of the meeting, Mikuma, had a momentary darkening in his eyes before returning to normal.

Danzo’s eye that was wrapped in bandages was a Sharingan, the Sharingan of Uchiha Shisui. Shisui’s fame wasn’t just for his Body Flicker Technique but for a certain pupil skill of his Sharingan called Izanagi. This ninjutsu allowed him to invade another’s brain unnoticed and alter their will, a terrifying illusion technique that can only be used once every several years.

Before the meeting began, Danzo used this technique on Mikuma, with unclear intentions at the time.

The originally harmonious atmosphere of the Five Kage Summit, after the Raikage’s fist smashed the wooden table, began to bristle with tension.

”This is a place for discussion, please restrain unruly behavior.”

Mikuma spoke timely, indicating for the Five Kage to dismiss their guards.

”Please continue the discussion.”

As soon as Mikuma finished speaking, the previously silent Raikage stood up.

”Konoha, Iwagakure, Sunagakure, Kirigakure, the Akatsuki Organization was formed by rogue ninjas from your villages. Moreover, according to my investigation, you or your predecessors in office have all used the Akatsuki’s involvement in wars...”

The Raikage started blaming others, which was the main reason he convened the Five Kage Summit. Originally, he aimed to lash out at Konoha, but Danzo the cunning old fox was too crafty to deal with, so he settled for second best.

The Raikage began firing at other ninja villages. Of course, the other Four Shadows weren’t pushovers, their words choking the Raikage repeatedly, while Danzo remained silent.

Just as the four Shadows were shifting blame amongst themselves, Danzo spoke calmly.

”According to the intelligence I’ve gathered, the leader of the Akatsuki Organization is Uchiha Madara.”

Once this was said, the conference room plunged into a deathly silence.

”Really...?”

”Wasn’t that guy dead for decades?”

”If that’s the case...”

As the four Shadows assessed whether this information was true, Danzo spoke again.

”I’m not entirely sure of the specifics, but the reliability of this intelligence is very high, I vouch for it in the name of the Hokage.”

This time, the faces of the other four Shadows changed. Using the Hokage’s name as a guarantee meant Danzo was staking Konoha’s reputation, giving the information considerable credibility.

”Could it be that guy is truly immortal?”

”Perhaps.”

Danzo maintained his unhurried tone, fully exhibiting the style of a cunning old fox.

”Ahem.”

Mikuma coughed lightly and stood up.

”As a representative of the Neutral Country, may I have a few words?”

The Five Kage said nothing, so Mikuma continued, ”The current situation is chaotic, the villainous Akatsuki Organization has become a giant threat. It’s difficult to gather the Five Kage together, so why not form an alliance among the Five Great Shinobi Villages to deal with the Akatsuki Organization?”

Mikuma’s proposal wasn’t problematic, and Danzo breathed a sigh of relief in his heart as his plan was progressing smoothly.

”Good proposal.”

Danzo supported Mikuma nonchalantly.

”Yes, thus unified command and consistent action.”

Mikuma squinted his eyes.

”Now then, who will lead the Alliance Army?”

The old and cunning Tsuchikage spoke, immediately pinpointing the proposal’s crucial point.

”To avoid endless disputes amongst you, I hope you respect the proposal from me, a humble individual of a neutral nation. Currently, only Konoha possesses the Nine-Tails, and control of the Nine-Tails is of utmost importance. How about... putting the Ninja Union Army under the Hokage’s leadership?”

Besides Danzo, the other four Shadows seemed taken aback, all wondering if Mikuma and Danzo had come to some sort of arrangement, unexpectedly supporting Danzo so strongly. But the fact is, the proposal from a neutral country carries significant weight, and the military power of the Iron Country is not to be underestimated. Moreover, the reputation of the Iron Country is far better than any major ninja village.

The conference room remained silent, which was Danzo’s goal. An alliance was inevitable, and he wanted to secure the position of alliance leader. If he obtained that position, then his role as the Sixth Hokage would be solidified.

Brother Danzo used Izanagi, creating the current situation. In the original work, Mei Terumī’s guard, Qing, exposed Danzo’s scheme, but unfortunately, Qing had already died at the hands of Su Xiao, and that White Eye was destroyed.

As silence permeated the room, a giant Venus flytrap suddenly grew from the center of the circular conference table.

The green Venus flytrap opened, revealing a Bai Jue inside, a clone of Bai Jue.

”Hello, everyone.”

The Bai Jue clone wore a smile, appearing nearly in the midst of the Five Kage’s circle, not more than three meters away from any of the Five Kage.

Ten Shadow Guards stood two by two in front of their respective Kage, standing erect atop the conference table, their eyes fixed on Bai Jue, cold sweat running down their faces. Before Bai Jue revealed himself, they hadn’t realized Bai Jue’s presence at all.

”Uchiha Sasuke has invaded, where could he possibly be hiding? Hahaha.”

Bai Jue was remarkably audacious.

At this moment, a crow flew in, landing atop Bai Jue’s head.

”Eh?”

Bai Jue looked a bit perplexed. On his head, the crow scanned the Five Kage, its eyes shining with the light of alchemy array diagrams.

This was Su Xiao’s Alchemy Raven. Having crafted many Alchemy Ravens in the Void, he had become increasingly proficient at making them, and the production cost had also significantly decreased.

To control the Alchemy Raven, Su Xiao temporarily switched out A Mu, which enjoyed the summoning slot bonus, replacing it with the Alchemy Raven. This allowed him to control the raven and share its vision. When Su Xiao relinquished control of the Alchemy Raven, A Mu would automatically switch back to Su Xiao’s summon and regain the bonus from Su Xiao’s high Intelligence Attribute.

”Let’s go find Sasuke together~”

Bai Jue’s clone shouted, and concurrently, the Raikage had rushed up to him, his speed astonishing.

Just as the Raikage was about to grab Bai Jue’s clone by the neck, the Alchemy Raven atop Bai Jue’s head turned its gaze to the Raikage, its body rapidly expanding.

”Lord Raikage!”

The Raikage’s guard Xi rushed forward.

BOOM!

The explosion spread through the conference room, blasting the conference table to pieces, wood fragments flying everywhere, and Bai Jue’s clone was also blown apart, turning into countless white fragments.

The flames quickly dissipated, and Brother Danzo’s face turned ashen. He was on the verge of taking a very crucial step, but now, an unknown assailant had interrupted that progression.

On the first floor of the tower.

The sharp roar of lightning resounded, as Sasuke wielded his long knife on the first floor, slashing down samurai, the blue-white lightning causing his face to appear slightly pale, and his Sharingan had started to show a hint of ruthless coldness.

On the edge of the first floor, Su Xiao, Bubu Wang, A Mu, and Obito stood watching from a high standpoint.

”Jue is done over there. Using Sasuke as bait, the Raikage will rush here soon enough.”

Su Xiao’s eyes opened, the Alchemy Raven self-destructed, breaking the shared vision, and A Mu returned to his summon slot, benefiting from his 80-point Intelligence bonus.

”It seems like everything’s going smoothly. Is the target tentatively the Raikage? That burly guy won’t be easy to handle, I won’t make a move unless absolutely necessary.”

Obito seemed temporarily unwilling to intervene.

”It depends on the situation, not sure if Mei Terumī will end up alone. Deidara is about ready as well; he seems quite resistant to seeing the Tsuchikage.”

Su Xiao’s target was the Mizukage, Mei Terumī, but that was on the condition she was without other Kage nearby, as he wouldn’t be as confident as Er Zhuzi, facing the pressure of confronting a Kage directly on his own was immense. However, if the distance was maintained during battle, it shouldn’t be a problem.

When Su Xiao last entered the Naruto World, he indeed could kill a Kage, but that required going into battle in close proximity with the Kage. If the distance was widened, he wouldn’t last a minute without dying.

Now, it’s different. Even if the distance was widened, he could still battle against a Shadow Level, even potentially killing a Kage, that is the growth in strength—do not underestimate this, it is a qualitative leap.

”Whether Uchiha Sasuke is worth fostering depends on whether he survives this time.”

Obito did not avoid speaking in front of Su Xiao; they are collaborators now.

”He should have his Mangekyo now, right?”

”Mmm, he awakened not too long ago, stimulated by the matter with Itachi. Now his heart is filled with hatred, which is good.”
