Born with a great love for the Uchiha

"Over the years, the Akatsuki organization has amassed a great deal of wealth through war and mercenary activities."

"According to internal intelligence from Kumogakure, the Akatsuki organization is suspected of being lurking in... the Land of Water."

No, sisters?

So all your nutrients are going to your breasts and not your brains?!

Mei Terumi glanced at Samui with slight surprise, then corrected her statement in an annoyed manner.

"The Akatsuki organization doesn't operate in the Land of Water! Its true core territory is the Land of Rain!"

Mei Terumi emphasized this point.

"Amegakure, the Hidden Village of the Rain Country!"

Standing behind Mei Terumi, Juzo Biwa nodded in agreement.

That's right.

It was him who betrayed Akatsuki information again.

"We'll discuss the Akatsuki and Amegakure matters later."

Uchiha Gen finally stepped forward and delivered the final blow.

"The most pressing issue now is the Five Shadows talks, which were forced to end before they even began."

The Five-Shane Summit is indeed doomed to fail.

But it just can't continue operating right now.

Losing one Wind Shadow is not a big problem.

Why not just have Sunagakure send out a new Kazekage?

You could even become a distributor for Fengying!

Ōnoki pondered Uchiha Gen's intentions and asked tentatively.

"Lord Hokage, do you still intend to push forward with the Five Kage Summit?"

"That's it."

Gen Uchiha smiled.

"Furthermore, don't we still have to deal with the Sunagakure problem?"

"Then let Sunagakure send people to the Land of Iron again."

After a long silence, Tobirama Senju suddenly spoke.

"Fifth Hokage, aren't you worried that the new representative of Sunagakure will 'mysteriously disappear' on the way?"

Well known.

The mysterious disappearance of the Kazekage is an old tradition in Sunagakure.

I recently did some cramming on the history of the ninja world, specifically the story of Tobirama Senju, and I now know what sparked the Third Shinobi World War.

The mysterious disappearance of the Third Kazekage of Sunagakure plunged the village into chaos, which in turn triggered the Third Shinobi World War.

Now following the Third Kazekage.

The Fourth Kazekage also mysteriously disappeared in the desert of the Land of Wind.

However, when Tobirama Senju suddenly spoke, it wasn't because he was genuinely worried that the newly selected ninja representative from Sunagakure would disappear again.

He just felt it didn't need to go through all that trouble.

The Sand Village is far too weak right now.

The Five Kage Summit, whether or not there is Sand Village, makes no difference.

To put it bluntly...

Tobirama Senju felt that the existence of other villages was unimportant!

There should only be one ninja village in the world, and only one Konoha in the ninja world.

No matter how you put it...

In the ninja world, strength speaks for itself.

Let's say that.

Konoha sent out Hashirama Senju and Gen Uchiha.

How can other villages resist Konoha's opinion?

Tobirama Senju could even promise not to send Hashirama Senju.

Gen Uchiha was the only one from Konoha to escape.

Other villages, come and fight!

Times have changed!

Tobirama Senju sighed inwardly, and once again found himself missing Madara Uchiha.

The Fifth Hokage was too weak; he wasn't like a normal Uchiha at all!

"I am indeed a little worried about the situation in Sunagakure."

Gen Uchiha smiled slightly.

"Therefore, I plan to make a trip to the Land of Wind in person."

Chapter 276 First Failure of Edo Tensei! The Mastermind Has Revealed Himself!

The Sand Village only lost the Fourth Kazekage, and still has two of his bodyguards.

It's not like all the ninjas in the village died!

No matter how much the Land of Wind cuts Sunagakure's funding, or how much the village's overall strength declines.

Sunagakure remains one of the five great ninja villages in the ninja world.

The total number of Sand Village ninjas is enough to rank among the top five in the entire ninja world (probably).

From such a large number of Sand Village ninjas, one new ninja representative will be selected to participate in the Five Kage Summit.

Not difficult.

The only problem is probably...

The new Sand Village ninja representative may not be as strong as the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa.

But this isn't a big problem.

Look at the Hidden Mist Village next door.

Let's take a look at the Hidden Cloud Village next door.

Mei Terumi, the Fifth Mizukage, may not be strong overall, but she still possesses two unique kekkei genkai (bloodline limits) of the ninjutsu type.

Samui became the Fifth Raikage despite being an ordinary Jonin.

He absolutely deserves the title of "weakest Raikage in history"...

There is the example of Samui before us.

Even if Sunagakure were to choose an ordinary Jonin to become the Fifth Kazekage, it would not have any negative consequences.

The Hidden Cloud Village had already done this before the Hidden Sand Village did it!

Yes, Kirigakure did it too!

What Uchiha Gen needs to do now is to go to Sunagakure and have the Sunagakure ninja select a new Fifth Kazekage as soon as possible to continue participating in the Five Kage Summit, and incidentally collect the bodies of the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, and others.

If Sunagakure cannot select a new Fifth Kazekage for the time being.

That doesn't really matter.

All we need to do is choose a ninja who can represent Sunagakure; even a substitute Kazekage would be fine.

Like a certain "5.5 Hokage" who wishes to remain anonymous.

Despite the fact that in the normal timeline, a certain "Dark Ninja" represented Konoha at the Five Kage Summit.

However, within the official Konoha system, this "5.5th Hokage," who hastily took office while Tsunade was unconscious, had absolutely no presence and didn't even qualify to be engraved on the Hokage Rock.

Even the title "Fifth Hokage" is somewhat exaggerated.

The "Darkness of the Ninja (Shimura Danzo)" during the Five Kage Summit was, at best, acting Hokage.

Moreover, it was a super short-term agency job that only lasted a few days.

After attending the Five Kage Summit, he built the Danzo Bridge at the cost of his life...

The Sand Village now has to either elect a Fifth Kazekage or an Acting Kazekage; it's that simple.

All Uchiha Gen needs to do now is to notify Sunagakure to take action as soon as possible.

He could have delegated such a simple task to someone else.

For example, Tobirama Senju, or Minato Namikaze.

Both of these Hokage mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique, which grants them high speed and exceptional mobility.

Well, Hashirama Senju's Body Flicker Speed ​​isn't necessarily much slower than Tobirama Senju or Minato Namikaze.

But sending Hashirama Senju to Sunagakure as an errand boy...

This isn't a question of whether it's appropriate or not.

That's really a waste.

Furthermore, Gen Uchiha also considered that there was a One-Tailed Beast in Sunagakure.

This is also the fundamental reason why he is preparing to go to Sunagakure in person.

As for the "mysterious disappearance of the Kazekage" mentioned by Tobirama Senju...
