Born with a great love for the Uchiha

Kirigakure, the Second Mizukage, Hozuki Gengetsu.

As one of the village's founding elders, Genji was actually quite clear about how Hozuki Gengetsu defeated the later Third Hokage and became the village's Second Mizukage.

There is only one reason.

Hozuki Gengetsu is strong enough!

Moreover, he was stronger than the third generation!

In the ninja world, strength reigns supreme.

It was precisely because Hozuki Gengetsu possessed such exceptional combat talent that he was able to defeat the future Third Mizukage and become the Second Mizukage of Kirigakure ahead of others.

The reason why Master Gengetsu said that Hozuki Gengetsu and Terumi Mei were somewhat similar was because Hozuki Gengetsu was not a supporter of the Blood Mist policy.

The man with the mustache was naturally humorous and quite talkative.

He also has high expectations for the young people in the village.

If Hozuki Gengetsu hadn't died young, he would have fought the Second Tsuchikage, Mu, to a standstill on the battlefield. (By the way, does anyone know why the Mizukage and Tsuchikage could fight across the Land of Fire and the Land of Lightning?)

Then Kirigakure would definitely not be what it is now.

"Elder, you still speak as if you're speaking in riddles..."

Mei Terumi was speechless. She simply stopped paying attention to those old grievances and focused on the Five Kage Summit.

"Are there any points to note regarding the Five Shadows Summit?"

"I have said all that I needed to say."

Master Yuan shook his head and whispered a reminder.

"Furthermore, Fifth Hokage, you shouldn't be asking me this question."

You should ask the Hokage.

"However, I would like to make a suggestion."

Master Yuan unfolded the "Official Invitation to the Five Kage Summit" sent from Konoha, and pointed with his withered fingers to the location of the summit.

"The Hokage wants to hold the Five Kage Summit in Konoha. I think our village and Kumogakure will not object. However, the Third Tsuchikage of Iwagakure and the Fourth Kazekage of Sunagakure will also be attending the meeting."

"Therefore, I suggest that the Fifth Hokage remind the Hokage that the Five Kage Summit should ideally be held in a neutral country, such as the Land of Iron."

Throughout the history of the ninja world, there have been numerous cases of attacking and killing enemy leaders under the guise of peace talks.

The most famous example is probably Tobirama Senju, the Second Hokage, who was assassinated by the Kinkaku and Ginkaku brothers from Kumogakure decades ago during the negotiations of the Thunder and Fire Alliance.

Master Yuan's suggestion was only out of good intentions, to avoid unnecessary trouble for Iwagakure and Sunagakure.

"The Land of Iron?"

Mei Terumi conjured up a map of the ninja world in her mind. After muttering a few words to herself, she began replying to Konoha.

Compared to the Fifth Mizukage, who had a stronger sense of initiative.

The Fifth Raikage did not raise any objections to Konoha's "formal invitation to the Five Kage Summit," but accepted it entirely.

Whatever the Hokage wants to do, the Cloud Village will do.

This is the current state of Kumogakure.

Rasa, the Fourth Kazekage of Sunagakure, shared the same view as Genji.

Luo Sha must make a prior statement.

He wasn't afraid of the Fifth Hokage, who was famous throughout the ninja world.

He did not intend to refuse to participate in the Five-Shadow Talks.

They simply chose to hold the Five Kage Summit in Konoha...

This is extremely dangerous!

I don't know why.

As soon as Rasa heard that he was going to Konoha, an instinctive warning arose in his heart.

It's as if, once he goes to the Land of Fire, he will immediately be assassinated by an S-rank rogue ninja on the way. Even the Fourth Kazekage's face was peeled off and put on the face of a poisonous snake. In the end, the entire village was severely weakened and basically became a vassal of Konoha...

"Hi~"

Rasa took a deep breath of hot air and began replying to Konoha.

"...I suggest that the Hokage change the location of the Five Kage Summit..."

……

Konoha, Hokage's office.

As soon as Uchiha Gen returned, he received letters from Kirigakure and Sunagakure.

Meanwhile, Onoki from Iwagakure also expressed his "minor opinion" regarding the location for the Five Kage Summit.

"I'm not worried about inviting a group of Kage to Konoha, but they're the ones who are starting to worry."

Uchiha Gen sat behind the Hokage's desk, holding several letters that had just been sent from other villages.

"The shadows from other villages are really rude!"

'I think...it probably doesn't have much to do with politeness...'

Nara Shikaku stood on the floor of the Hokage's office, his expression indifferent, but his mind was racing.

'The Kage of the other villages... should all know that four tailed beasts have gathered at the Naka River Reservoir... no, now there are six tailed beasts... not to mention the Kage, even the people in their own villages are very worried...'

"Senior Shikaku".

Gen Uchiha's voice brought Shikaku Nara back to his senses.

"Please reply to the other villages as well, and also inform Admiral Mifune of the Land of Iron."

"Let's follow Mei's suggestion and set the Five Kage Summit in the Land of Iron!"

Nara Shikaku nodded in agreement.

"Yes, Lord Hokage!"

"Um... there's one more thing."

Uchiha Gen suddenly spoke up, stopping the Nara clan head who was about to leave the Hokage's office.

"Senior Shikaku, do you want the white deer?"

Chapter 183 The Deer Maniac is Terrifying!

You call this a Great White Deer?!

Nara Shikaku looked up at the huge, snow-white tailed beast in front of him, his usually calm and composed expression completely shattered, and he was momentarily speechless.

Look at that snow-white, glistening fur, look at those thick, enormous horns, look at those long, slender, beautiful legs, look at those deep, sea-blue eyes…

Nara Shikaku became somewhat mesmerized as he watched.

The dead-eyed ninja with the pineapple-shaped haircut couldn't be described as polite.

Even a tailed beast like the Five-Tailed King Kokuo, who had cultivated for a thousand years, felt a slight discomfort.

It has lived for so many years, and some people have looked at it with kind eyes, some with indifferent eyes, and some with hostile eyes...

But no human looks at it with that obsessive gaze!

The Five-Tails, Kokuou, couldn't help but look at Uchiha Gen, who was standing to the side with a smile on his face, and said with a slightly embarrassed expression.

"...Source? This?"

"This is Nara Shikaku, the current head of the Nara clan."

Uchiha Gen gave a brief introduction on behalf of the absent-minded Jonin squad leader.

"As for the Nara clan, they are the 'deer fanatics' who are famous throughout Konoha and even the entire Land of Fire!"

"I am not a deer, I am a tailed beast!"

The Five-Tails, Kokuo, delivered its signature tailed beast speech.

"Oh~"

Before Uchiha Gen could reply, Nara Shikaku let out a groan-like sigh.

I like it even more now!

"Calm down, Shikaku-senpai."

Even Uchiha Gen couldn't help but show an embarrassed expression.

"What is the most basic quality of a ninja? It is patience!"

"You don't understand, Hokage-sama."

Nara Shikaku took several deep breaths to calm down his excited emotions.

“I have never seen such a beautiful and majestic white deer—I mean, a tailed beast.”

Although Nara Shikaku said that, judging from his expression, he clearly did not regard the Five-Tails Kokuou as a tailed beast.

Even the five tails behind the Five-Tailed King were almost shaking like little fans!

can only say.

Human beings and human aesthetics cannot be generalized.

The reputation of tailed beasts cannot be generalized.

Nara Shikaku had never met the Five-Tails Kokuou before. He had only read some information about the Five-Tails Jinchuriki in Iwagakure from intelligence reports and had a general idea of ​​the Five-Tails' physical characteristics.

But it wasn't until today, when Nara Shikaku saw the Five-Tails Kokuou with his own eyes, that he realized how negligent the village staff who had compiled the information on the Five-Tails Jinchuriki had been!

Who said that the Five-Tailed Kokuo is a combination of a horse and a dolphin?!

That's clearly a white deer!
