The Age of Heroic Spirits in the Eyes of the Reincarnated.

Chapter 253: Konoha 68th Year, Five Kage Meeting
"Don't panic! Take good care of your surroundings..."

Although the dragon vein chakra explosion was fierce, it was not as highly condensed as the Tailed Beast Ball.

This power is just a normal release.

However, Li Xia misjudged one thing.

There would be no problem using any weapon made of chakra metal as a sealing wedge with the power of dragon vein; but there would be a big problem if the incomplete Flying Thunder God Kunai left by Minato Namikaze was used as a sealing wedge!
Look, the dragon vein, an unstable lifeline of the earth with special effects, found an outlet for release and suddenly burned the huge energy accumulated for countless years; and this energy happened to stimulate the Flying Thunder God Mark, but the corresponding other Flying Thunder God Mark was not in this space and time.

But it is in the parallel time and space in the next multidimensional level!

On top of the same Flying Thunder God Kunai in another time and space!

In addition, the dragon vein chakra can make the damaged objects (that is, An Lushan's puppets) repair rapidly like "time goes back", even if they are broken into pieces, they can be reassembled! The dragon vein chakra seems to have some time characteristics.

Under the dual influence, time and space deviations at multiple levels emerge.

"Shh..."

In the endless light, Li Xia, Sarah, the Kamui space of the Kamui Kaleidoscope and a page space inside, were all sent to another Hokage copy next door with the energy released by the dragon veins with the help of the Flying Thunder God Seal!

Jumped from this novice trial copy to another senior-level trial copy.

"Lord Hokage..."

After Aburame Ryoma and other ANBU Root members lost their chakra sensitivity to Li Xia, they were so anxious that they were sweating profusely.

...

"Hiss...where is this?"

After a moment of mental confusion, Li Xia found himself in an underground cave with ruins.

Sarah has disappeared.

In the Kamui space, the page of the book, the three little ones inside the page, Kushina, and Vanilla are still there.

...

The beginning of Konoha 68.

That is 17 years after the Nine-Tailed Fox Rebellion.

The iron country where ice and snow are flying.

The second Five Kage Summit begins here.

Initiator: The Fourth Raikage.

Purpose of the meeting: To hold the other four Kage accountable for the rapid growth of the Akatsuki organization and the disappearance of his brother Killer Bee.

Inside a huge building over a hundred meters high.

"Sasuke, did you see that? The old man walking in the middle is your target, Danzo. He was the one who forced Uchiha Itachi to his doom."

White Zetsu fanned the flames.

Of course, what they said is true.

Danzo of this era is indeed not a good person.

The old man's right eye was wrapped in a bandage, hiding a Mangekyō Sharingan of Shisui. His right arm was bound with a special metal shackle and bandage to prevent the Byakugan and other detection methods from detecting the ten three-magatama eyeballs embedded in his arm. He was also holding a cane in his hand.

Beside Danzo, there followed Yamanaka Kaze and Aburame Tone.

Although they were young, they were already excellent jonin.

The nano-poison insects that Aburame takes root are extremely dangerous.

Even a shadow-level person would lose limbs if hit.

"Is that guy Danzo? I remember that."

Sasuke, hiding in the dark, glared with his three-magatama Sharingan, with a dangerous gleam in his eyes.

"Don't show your killing intent. There are still many perceptive ninjas here, and some of them are very sensitive. Be careful not to reveal your tracks."

Bai Jue reminded.

Inside the hall of the Five Kage Summit:

"Please place the five Kage's hats in front."

This has been a habit since the time of Hashirama Senju.

The five shadow hats of the five great nations of fire, wind, water, thunder, and earth were placed in front of their respective conference tables.

Seeing this, Mifune nodded:
“This time, we all gathered here in response to the call of Lord Raikage.

I am Sanchuan, and I am in charge of presiding over this parliament.

The Five Kage Summit begins now..."

In front of the three ships, there were five seats sitting respectively: the Fifth Mizukage Adam, the Fifth Kazekage Gaara, the Sixth Acting Hokage Danzo Shimura, the Fourth Tsuchikage Deidara, and the Fourth Raikage Ai.

"Let me talk first, and you guys just listen..."

Gaara was the first to speak.

But before he could finish his words, the Third Tsuchikage Ohnoki spoke up in the spectator seats:

"Hehe, there are so many changes in the Five Kage this time! Young man, to be able to become a Kage at this age, you are really a young man to be feared! It seems that your father taught you very well! But, he only taught you strength, but didn't teach you to be well-mannered..."

Behind Gaara, Kankuro and Temari glared at Ōnoki.

Because this bad old man not only scolded their Kazekage for being uneducated, scolded their younger brother, but also scolded their father, the Fourth Kazekage.

Bastard old man.

But Gaara was not angry after hearing this. Instead, he gladly accepted this evaluation:
"Yeah, that's why I'm sitting here as the Kazekage."

"Ahahahaha, good boy, so confident and arrogant."

Oonoki pouted.

"Okay old man, stop interrupting and let Fengying continue."

Deidara, who had become the fourth generation, laughed.

Obviously, something is wrong with Deidara, who should have been finished.

Gaara rested his chin on his hands and told a story about himself:

"I was once a Jinchūriki, and was once imprisoned by Akatsuki. I also had the One-Tail Shukaku forcibly extracted from my body. So I know very well the danger of Akatsuki. I have made requests to the other five Kage many times and warned you all, but except for the former Fifth Hokage, you all ignored me again and again. Some of you are probably gloating over my Sand Village's misfortune, and hope that Sand Village will become even weaker, right?"

So, it’s not that Gaara is arrogant, but that the Kages of other ninja villages are too arrogant.

He thought that he could fight against Akatsuki on his own and protect his own Jinchūriki.

But the result?

Only Konoha's Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is left.

The Jinchūriki of the remaining villages were all captured by Akatsuki.

"Come to think of joining forces after all the Jinchūriki of each country have been taken away, isn't it too late?"

Gaara's voice was very calm, without any arrogance. But it was this calmness that deeply hurt the Third Tsuchikage and the Fourth Raikage.

At the beginning, they were the ones who looked down on Gaara, the Kazekage the most.

Can you believe what a little kid says?

"Tsk, you're right. After the Jinchūriki of the five major ninja villages were taken away, they can no longer set an example for other countries (little brothers). This is indeed a great shame for us!"

"It is common sense to recycle secretly..."

"After all, it was just taken away. How can we ask for help from other countries for the sake of our dignity as a great country?"

Ōnoki's words made Gaara shake his head:
"Propriety and prestige... what a boring and pedantic idea!"

This straightforward sarcasm made Ohnoki feel a little embarrassed, and he snorted inwardly: Young brat!
"Well, regardless of whether this is pedantic or not, as a Mizukage, I admit that we underestimated the enemy, which led to us being completely passive at the moment..."

"But before, even if the tailed beast was taken away, it would not be considered a threat immediately. As we all know, controlling the tailed beast requires skills, knowledge, and time. The Akatsuki organization took the tailed beast away without a few years of running-in, so it is common sense that they cannot control the tailed beast to fight!"

Adam sighed.

Deidara also nodded:
"Yes, the Jinchūriki needs to grow and adapt with the tailed beasts, and even then it is difficult to control them...right, Mr. Kazekage?"

Danzo also interjected at this time:
"Speaking of which, the only ones who can truly control the tailed beasts are the first generation of Konoha, Uchiha Madara, the fourth generation Mizukage, and Killer Bee, the younger brother of Raikage...but..."

"That's enough, stop talking nonsense here!"

The Raikage punched the conference table and broke it into pieces.

In an instant, several parties were on the verge of a fight.

Behind the Fifth Kazekage Gaara: Kankuro leaped out to block the way, controlling the human puppet of Scorpion with his left hand and the human puppet of the Third Kazekage with his right hand. Temari, who had grown into an elite jonin, opened a huge folding fan, and if she disagreed, she would definitely use her strongest skill, Wind Release.

Mei Terumi and Ao jumped out from behind Adam, the Fifth Mizukage.

In front of Danzo, the sixth Hokage's acting leader, the figures of Yamanaka Fuu and Aburame Tone appeared.

In front of Deidara, Huang Tu and Aka Tu appeared.

Next to Ōnoki, Kurotsuchi was eager to try.

The more Oonoki looked at his granddaughter, the more headache he felt.

Looking at Deidara, the more I look at him, the more I like him.

After a visit to the Akatsuki organization, I have grown a lot.

In front of the Fourth Raikage, Darui and Nozomi, who were regarded as his right-hand men, faced off against Huang Tu and Kankuro respectively.

"This is a place for discussion. Please be careful of any impolite behavior."

Mifune, the leader of the Iron Country samurai, gave a warning with some headache.

"Back off, Feng, take the root..."

Danzo said calmly.

"You too, Temari, Kankuro..."

Gaara spoke immediately afterwards.

"Ming, Qing, it's okay, come back."

"Yes."

The other shadow guards returned to their positions in the back row.

They just thought that the Fourth Raikage was going to cause trouble, which would be detrimental to their own Kage, so there was almost an accidental shooting. Now it seems that it was a misunderstanding.

When everything calmed down again, the Fourth Raikage looked at Danzo and the others with a stern face:

"Konoha, Iwagakure, Sunagakure, and Kirigakure, the Akatsuki organization was formed by those rebellious ninjas in your villages! Not only that, I also found out that some of you, including your predecessor, have used the Akatsuki!"

"Use Akatsuki?"

Gaara was very surprised by this.

"As the Kazekage, you weren't told? Go ask the old guys in your village. You used the Akatsuki in the war in the past."

The Fourth Raikage snorted coldly.

"what?"

Gaara's pupils shrank.

A nameless anger suddenly rose up against the twelve masters in the village.

Apart from the Kazekage and the two advisors, the Sand Village actually still has eleven seats.

When Ye Cang was abandoned, it was the unanimous agreement reached by the Fourth Kazekage Rasa and the other eleven seats.

At this time, Ohnoki spoke leisurely again:

"The major countries have now settled down. It is precisely because of the easing of tensions between the major countries that the five daimyo believe that there is no threat of war. In this way, for them and for the country, the huge military expenditure of the ninja village is no longer necessary.

This is why your Sunagakure's military budget was cut by more than half a few years ago.

Not only Sand Village, but also several other major ninja villages are like this. In order to reduce the financial burden, they have shifted from the previous military expansion to military reduction. "

During the Ninja World War, the five major ninja villages were able to raise a Chunin army of tens of thousands or even twenty to thirty thousand people.

Among them, Konoha had the strongest military strength at the beginning, and it would take at least two or three villages to challenge it at the same time.

"It takes a lot of time and energy to train a ninja from the age of six to the teenage years. Therefore, it became a tacit understanding for all parties to fight with the Akatsuki organization, which hired war mercenaries at a low price..."

"I just didn't expect that Akatsuki would become so wealthy."

As a person who has experienced this, Ohnoki knows the key point very well.

"It sounds nice, but you are all the same kind of people."

The Raikage gritted his teeth.

"Watch your words, Raikage. Speaking of which, in this era of drastic reductions in military spending, it's all your fault for searching for power and collecting ninjutsu at all costs. We also cooperate with the Akatsuki organization for the sake of balance."

Raikage: Is it our fault that we have such a sensible name?
"... "

Then, several actors started arguing and shifting the blame.

At this time, Danzo spoke:

"From what I know, the leader of Akatsuki is most likely Uchiha Madara!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the meeting place fell into dead silence.

Even Ohnoki, who was the most talkative, shut up at this moment, with beads of sweat appearing on his forehead.

Uchiha... Madara?

What a joke.

A certain psychological shadow of his was brought out, and his fingers couldn't help but tremble.
