Naruto: From the capture of the main family to the behind-the-scenes mastermind

Chapter 120 The Five Kage Talks Begin

As soon as they stepped into the vicinity of the Hidden Rain Village, four ninjas blocked the way of Minato and others, and the leading ninja stepped forward.

"Hokage, I am Kadokawa, and have been waiting for you. I will take you to the meeting place, please."

The attitude is respectful and there is nothing wrong with it.

"Ok."

Minato nodded and walked towards the Hidden Rain Village with Jiraiya and Yamaru following him.

Because they were close to the Hidden Rain Village, more people gathered around.

Occasionally, a glance would be cast in his direction, with obvious malice, but as Kadokawa glanced over, he would retract his gaze, but his expression remained cold.

I clearly warned them, yet they still caused trouble at this time.

If the Hokage is unhappy and the Ninja World War starts again in the Rain Country, will you be happy?
Just keep your hatred for the great power hidden in your heart, you idiots!
Kadokawa cursed in his heart, and said to Minato apologetically:

"Sir, I'm sorry, they..."

"It's okay, I understand."

Minato sighed.

In the Third Ninja World War, the Land of Rain was of course also affected. As a small country surviving between the three big countries, once a war broke out between them, the Land of Rain would always be affected.

Not to mention that just over a decade ago, the Second Ninja World War occurred in the Land of the Rain, and hatred has already been formed. It is impossible for everyone to be as calm as Yahiko and others when seeing the Konoha ninjas.

On the contrary, people like Yahiko may be a minority who treat them normally because of Jiraiya.

Such hatred may take a long time to wear off.

The three of them walked all the way to the Hidden Rain Village.

I saw all kinds of people on the road.

Numbness, emptiness, helplessness...

Clothes barely cover the body, skinny and with bones visible...

Various expressions that seemed synonymous with suffering appeared on those people.

Yuyin did not hide the tragic situation in the Rain Country at all.

What is there to hide?
Such scenes can be seen everywhere in the Rain Country, and it is only a matter of time before the Five Kage see them somewhere.

They can't turn the Rain Kingdom into a peaceful and prosperous country in an instant, so what are they trying to cover up?
This is how miserable the small countries are sandwiched between big countries. Everyone knows it, so why hide it?

If the big countries could exploit them less because of their miserable situation, the Rain Country would be happy.

"The look in his eyes is completely different from that of Nagato and the others."

Minato walked in silence, feeling his steps become heavy.

He rarely saw such expressions in Konoha. Everyone seemed to have come out of the pain brought by the war and had smiles on their faces.

Peace and happiness, prosperous times.

Compared to here, Konoha is heaven!
Thinking of this, Minato was lost in thought as he recalled the topic he had discussed with Hinata Hane.

The problem in the Rain Country is serious.

First, due to its special geographical location, the Rain Country borders many major countries and has been the battlefield of wars many times in history. Wars not only destroyed the country's infrastructure, but also caused a large number of casualties and loss of resources.

Second, the harsh climate conditions cause the Rain Country to be rainy all year round, which is extremely unfavorable for agricultural production. The grain output is seriously insufficient compared with some small countries. The Rain Country cannot be self-sufficient in food, and has to rely on purchasing food from other countries. The national economy is very fragile.

Coupled with internal political corruption and the high-level officials turning a blind eye, it is not difficult to understand why the situation has turned out like this.

If we want to develop and change, we must have enough people with ideals, knowledge and abilities.

There was no Ninja World War, it was just to provide the residents with a more stable environment. But how much can they do on their own without knowledge or ability?
But he can provide some support, but if he gives it to too many people, wouldn't that be occupying the Rain Kingdom in disguise?
What's more, there aren't that many talented people in Konoha to govern the entire Rain Country...

After all, he is only a Hokage, not a Daimyo.

Minato smiled bitterly at this. If there was no change, he might be able to bring peace, but what Konan said about dispelling the dark clouds... I'm afraid that's impossible.

He didn't give a clear answer to Xiaonan's question before, he just said that it could bring about a slight change. Did he already know about this situation in his heart?
Naruto...cannot change the ninja world.

Just as the three of them stepped into the Hidden Rain Village and were about to enter the main gate of the tower, there was a sudden explosion behind them and an extremely terrifying chakra rushed out from behind, interrupting Minato's thoughts.

The astonishing speed and power made Kadokawa, the team leader, completely unable to react.

But the people around Minato are all strong people who can stand on their own.

boom!
Thunder and lightning flashed, and Susanoo appeared.

An orange skeleton suddenly appeared, blocking the strong figure rushing towards him, but a crack also appeared on it.

Yaowan looked at the figure in front of him solemnly, surprised by his speed.

Isn't it possible that space-time ninjutsu can have such speed?

At this time, Kadokawa also reacted and hurried forward to stop the intruder.

"Lord Raikage, please stop."

According to Lord Hanzo's orders, they must stand on the neutral side without bias.

Because they cannot afford to offend any country, they have to act in a neutral position to avoid offending any party.

So no matter how scared he was, stopping the Raikage was what he had to do at this moment.

The Fourth Raikage glanced at Kadokawa, then turned his gaze to Yamaru, "Uchiha brat? I've never heard of your name."

He was able to take my punch head-on, which shows quite a bit of strength.

Yaowan said indifferently: "Uchiha Yaowan, have you heard it now?"

"Pills? You're not bad, but..."

The Fourth Hokage Raikage turned his eyes to Minato, "I want to see your strength, the Fourth Hokage. We have said this before, right? Next time, we will each bear the title of Hokage and fight again!"

"I did it, and you did it too. Well, let's not worry about the Five Kage Tournament for now, let me see how much you have improved in this past year!"

As soon as he finished speaking, dense lightning surrounded the Fourth Raikage's body, extremely violent.

"Sir Raikage, don't make things difficult for Amegakure. We are not here to fight." Minato said in a low voice.

The Raikage said disdainfully: "Why should you care about Yugakure's reputation?"

"Then can you give me some face?"

Salamander Hanzo walked out of the gate. The heavy voice made the Raikage pause and look at him with narrowed eyes.

Half god, half hidden, this one has some weight.

"Lord Raikage, it is indeed not appropriate to take action at this time."

A guard behind the Raikage warned.

"Hmph, how boring." The Raikage snorted coldly and retracted all the chakra in his body.

Seeing that the commotion had subsided, Hanzo secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You two have come from afar, please go to the quiet room to rest for a while. The meal has been prepared. The Mizukage has not arrived yet. The meeting will be held on time at 4 pm."

Hearing this, the Raikage didn't say anything, but just kept his eyes on Minato for a moment, then walked into the tower without saying a word.

Minato nodded to Hanzo and walked in as well.

Behind him, Jiraiya looked at the old Hanzo and greeted him with complicated eyes.

Hanzo nodded in response and walked into the tower calmly.

At four o'clock in the afternoon of that day, as all five Kage arrived, they sat in order around the huge circular conference table, and the talks officially began.
