Konoha: I, Ninja War Sakura, rely entirely on skills!

Chapter 244 Five Shadows Talk
The sky was bright, and the peaceful Kusagakure Village seemed filled with a solemn atmosphere.

The Five Kage Summit has never been held since Hashirama Senju, and the ninja world has been in chaos due to wars for decades.

Benefits, benefits, benefits.

All wars broke out because of these two words. At least as far as Sakura knew, except for the war in her previous life where a certain emperor's uncle died because of his brother, there has never been a war without these two words.

“Have the village representatives arrived?”

She looked at the person in front of her with her green eyes and asked.

"Hokage-sama, the Mizukage arrived at the early morning hours."

Nara Suzaku responded respectfully.

Sakura nodded when she heard that.

She wasn't worried that the Mizukage wouldn't give her this face.

The Four Kages of Wind, Thunder, Fire and Earth have gathered together. If the Mizukage does not want to offend most of the forces in the ninja world, he must come.

"Let's go and meet these defeated men."

Xiaoying sneered, then picked up a bamboo hat with the word "fire" on it on the table and strode out.

Sasuke, dressed as a Konoha jonin, and Hikari, dressed in Uchiha clan uniform, followed the Hokage silently.

Since it was agreed in advance that Hikari would come to attend the Five Kage Summit with Sakura, under such circumstances, Hikari would not neglect Sakura's face.

The location of the Five Kage Summit is at the ruins of the Kusagakure Building in Kusagakure Village.

The former Kusanagi Building was completely wiped out by the Tsuchikage Ōnoki's Dust Release.

After Iwagakure and Konoha stationed troops, a new office building for the Fire and Earth Combined Forces was built.

Today, the area surrounding this office building is completely surrounded by people.

Sand Ninja, Cloud Ninja, Mist Ninja, Rock Ninja.

Four hundred Sand Ninjas, three hundred Cloud Ninjas, five hundred Mist Ninjas, and two hundred Rock Ninjas.

They are all the elites among the elites in the four ninja villages. If you don't count any of the five major ninja villages, it would be easy for these ninjas to destroy any force in the ninja world, or even more than enough.

The slight commotion they had been experiencing due to encountering such a large 'enemy' force on the battlefield was quelled by the arrival of one person.

The Fifth Hokage.

The pink figure who reached the peak as soon as she debuted.

Except for the Iwagakure ninja, the other ninjas from the Wind, Thunder and Water Kingdoms all immediately set their sights on the Hokage who was walking towards the office building.

Their eyes were either solemn, fearful, or curious.

But it was more fear.

The nightmare-like figure from three years ago reappeared in their minds.

Three years is not long, but it is not short either.

But obviously, these three years are not enough for them to forget the pink on the battlefield.

"Humph, you're quite arrogant."

In the office building, Kurotsuchi stood behind Ohnoki and looked down with an unhappy look on his face at the last Hokage who had arrived.

"Don't say anything for a while."

Oonoki didn't say much about his granddaughter's dissatisfaction, but just sighed.

He was the one who facilitated the Five Kage Summit.

He knew very well that he wanted all the villages to put aside their hatred and jointly fight against the monsters, but it was very difficult to let go of hatred.

The atmosphere of the previous online talks was already tense, and now that everyone is gathered together, who knows what will happen next.

"You are such a nagging old man."

"By the way, when will the position of Tsuchikage be passed to me?"

Kurotsuchi crossed his arms and looked at Ohnoki with dissatisfaction.

Oonoki was speechless when he heard this.

If it had happened before, it would have been fine, but there was indeed no other good candidate to succeed the Tsuchikage in the Iwagakure Village except Kurotsuchi.

Huang Tu's brain is not suitable for participating in politics, Lao Zi has an unconventional mind, and Han went berserk in the village before completing the perfect Jinchūriki.

These three most powerful people in the village are not suitable to inherit the Tsuchikage.

but now……

Ohnoki's eyes fell on the golden retriever who was sitting on the sofa playing with clay.

"What are you looking at, you old man?"

Deidara noticed the eyes falling on him and looked at Ōnoki with an unhappy expression.

"How do I talk to Master?"

Ohnoki gave Deidara a powerful blow to the head without any hesitation.

"It hurts!"

Deidara cried out while holding his head.

Damn old man!

If I could beat him, I would have run away long ago!

"Brother Deidara, please be more respectful to this old man~~~"

Heitu looked at the golden retriever rolling on the sofa with a smile.

"You bastard, I didn't do anything!"

Deidara protested, holding his head.

"I haven't even settled accounts with you for leaving the village without permission, and you've taken the initiative to join an organization like Akatsuki. You really don't even know how to write death."

Oonoki said with a look of resentment that he didn't fight back.

As a direct disciple of the Tsuchikage, he actually lowered his status and joined an organization full of rebellious ninjas.

Moreover, this rebel ninja organization also provoked Konoha. If it weren't for Konoha's alliance with Iwagakure and the need for Iwagakure's secret techniques, a man of Ohnoki's age would have been in trouble.

"whispering sound……"

Deidara looked at the old man in front of him with a frustrated look.

"Hmph, follow me now, no more talking later!"

After Deidara, Kurotsuchi and others returned to Iwagakure, Ōnoki did not punish them.

I just carried it with me and watched it more closely.

Even many people in the Iwagakure Village didn't know that Deidara had fled, and Ōnoki never launched a manhunt for Deidara.

"Yes, yes, I know..."

With the arrival of the Hokage, the Five Kage Summit officially began.

In the conference hall at the top of the office building, six forces gathered together.

Fire, wind, earth, thunder, water, rain.

Six curtains are hung around the perimeter, with a long circular table placed in the middle, giving the illusion of a round-table meeting.

Under the illumination of the curtain lights on the ceiling, an indescribable solemn atmosphere spread invisibly in the field.

The five Kage sat in front of the curtains that represented their own forces. In addition to the six most powerful people in the ninja world, there were two trusted aides standing behind each of them.

Uchiha Sasuke and Uchiha Hikaru behind the Hokage.

The black earth behind the Tsuchikage, Deidara.

Temari and Kankuro behind the Kazekage.

Darui and Tutai behind the Raikage.

Chojuro, Ao, behind the Mizukage.

The Salamander is half-hiding behind...

Sakura didn't know.

These people are the ones who are qualified to inherit the "shadow" in each village.

The emerald eyes glanced at the man who was also sitting in front of the cloth representing the word "rain".

Hanzo the Salamander with a mask on his face and dressed in ninja clothes.

The real Salamander Hanzo died long before Pain ruled the Hidden Rain Village.

So who is the person in front of me...

"Ahem, I am Mifune, an unknown samurai from the Land of Iron."

Before anyone could speak, a figure walked out of the darkness.

The man was in his forties or fifties, with wrinkles on his face, a long sword slung around his waist, and walked towards him with steady steps.

"I am invited by the Tsuchikage to host this meeting. I hope you will forgive me if I have offended you."

The Iron Country is a neutral country in the Ninja World, located northwest of the Fire Country. Like the Frost Country, it has snow all year round and few resources, but is rich in iron ore, so there are mostly samurai in the country.

Sakura didn't say much about this person's appearance.

Sakura was not surprised by this person's arrival.

"No objection."

The most honest Kazekage Gaara spoke first, which made the others look at him twice. "Mr. Hanzo, it's been a long time."

Mifune looked at the Salamander Hanzo who was sitting on the side and nodded slightly.

When he was young, he traveled around the ninja world and encountered this being, and was defeated in a battle with him.

"Ah."

Salamander Hanzo made a steady voice under his mask, which was considered a response to the samurai.

Mifune did not take this too seriously. After all, the meeting was so grand and not a suitable occasion for chatting.

"In that case, I believe you all do not want to have any unnecessary prefaces, so let us get straight to the topic of this meeting."

Mifune looked at the five most powerful Kage in the ninja world.

"This meeting has only one goal..."

“That’s the ghost.”

Mifune spoke in a steady and powerful voice as he began to introduce this demon from a thousand years ago.

"Thousands of years ago, the demons wreaked havoc on the world. They were sealed by the Sage of Six Paths himself, and their souls were torn from their bodies."

"The body is sealed in the witch of the Demon Country, and the soul is sealed underground in the Bear Country."

"Once the body and soul merge, the demon that wreaked havoc a thousand years ago will reappear in the world."

"The demons are still here, but the Sage of Six Paths has long since passed away."

"Although our predecessors were great, our successors are not completely useless either."

"Now that the Wuliang is about to be resurrected, you should put aside your grudges and work together to fight the enemy."

After Mifune finished speaking, the Fifth Generation Mizukage Yugao leaned back in his chair, with a slight smile on his face, and said:

"After all, the point is the witch of the Demon Country, right?"

"As long as we protect her, the so-called resurrection of the monsters will be nothing but a joke."

"For something like this, we can just hide the witch. Is it necessary to go through so much trouble?"

There was an unhappy smile on Yu Gao's face, and he was obviously unhappy that he had to rush here overnight for such a simple matter.

"That being said, there is some kind of connection between the ghost and the body. No matter where in the world, the ghost's soul knows where the body is."

"As for the direction of the Terracotta Warriors, to be precise, their marching direction is not the Land of Ghosts, but the direction where the witch is in the Land of Ghosts."

"If the witch is in the Water Kingdom, then the direction of the Terracotta Warriors is naturally towards the Water Kingdom."

The platform behind Kirabi spoke.

"Who are you to interrupt Mizukage-sama?"

Qing behind Yugao spoke.

Qing naturally knew who Dodai was, but had to speak up when the Mizukage interrupted him.

King against king, against general.

Only the Four Kage who are also Kage can interrupt the words of Yugao, who is the Mizukage, and it is obvious that this Raikage courtier has crossed the line.

It would be a clear demotion for the Mizukage to question him, so only Qing, who is the Mizukage's personal guard, could speak.

"Dodai's words are my words."

"Mister Mizukage, is there a problem?"

Killer Bee's eyes did not look at Qing, but fell on Yugao, who was also a Jinchūriki and the Mizukage.

"Of course it's no problem."

"But just as you said, Qing's words are also my words."

Yugao looked at Kirabi without fear.

We are all Kage, and we are all Jinchūriki.

He had nothing to fear.

Earthen platform…Hei Zetsu’s expression was calm.

He only needed to tell the few people present about the connection between ghosts and souls. As for this inexplicable contradiction?

No need to care at all.

Even if he didn't say anything, this conflict would break out at any time.

It would be better to bring this conflict upon myself first.

"Is the Mizukage deliberately looking for trouble?"

Kirabi narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at Yugao.

Although he was wearing sunglasses, no one could see his squinting eyes.

But even so, everyone present could vaguely feel his chakra beginning to become restless.

"Well, let me interrupt."

At this moment, Sakura, who had been silent all this time, spoke.

This caused the tense atmosphere between the Raikage and the Mizukage to stagnate.

"Just now……"

"You looked at me, didn't you?"

Cui's gaze fell on Qing behind Mizukage Yugao.

To be more precise, it fell on the eye hidden behind the sealing device on Qing's face.

The blue of white eyes.

Behind that sealing device is a byakugan of the Hyuga clan.

During the Five Kage Summit in the original work, Ao opened his Byakugan to investigate the Five Kage.

Now he was even more reckless and rolled his eyes at everyone.

Of course, Sakura, the Hokage, will not be spared.

Even with the protection of the sealing device, Sakura's keen intuition still noticed it.

"You are the Hokage, and you are so young, Qing will naturally take a second look at you. You, the Hokage, don't care about other people's eyes, right?"

Upon seeing this, Yugao put aside his dispute with Kirabi and responded indifferently.

"Oh, if it were that simple, I wouldn't care."

Sakura's lips curled up.

He gave up the friendship between Mei Terumi and Kirigakure for the sake of Konoha.

But this is just right, I can take back what belongs to Konoha.

In this case, Mei Terumi was left speechless.

"If I'm not mistaken, there is a special eye behind the device, right?"

After these words were spoken, everyone present changed their expressions slightly.

They knew very well what eyes were behind Qing's sealing device.

After all, Aokiji, who has the Byakugan, still has some fame in the ninja world.

But at this moment, this moment of discussing important matters and working together, is definitely not an opportunity to point the finger at Qing.

"Hokage, please discuss this matter later. This is not a topic that should be discussed now."

The silent Salamander Hanzo spoke up.

As a well-known figure in the ninja world, his words carry considerable weight.

Of course, if he is really Hanzo of the Salamander.

"Who do you think you are?"

"How dare you talk to me like that?"

!

Everyone's expression changed. This was a naked provocation!
Is Naruto crazy?
Saying such things at this time, isn't she afraid of being attacked by all the forces in the ninja world afterwards?

If Sakura knew what they were thinking, she would definitely sneer.

In every Ninja World War, wasn’t Konoha targeted by everyone?

"Hokage."

"Are you provoking me?"

Salamander Hanzo looked at the young Hokage without fear.

"Please calm down, both of you."

"This isn't the time to..."

Mifune wanted to calm the tense relationship between the two.

"I'm talking, what right do you have to interrupt me?"

"I want to see if you have the power to stop me from taking back what belongs to me."

The Hokage sat there, speaking calmly, but his next sentence made everyone's face change drastically.

"Sasuke, take back your Byakugan."
