I'm in Konoha, and I started with Ashura Chakra.

"Elder Master Yuan, I have long admired your name."

Led by Mei Terumi, Yagyu soon met Genshi, whose power was equal to that of the Mizukage. He bowed slightly in greeting, showing great politeness.

Each of the five great ninja villages has its own council of elders, but only the elder of Kirigakure has the same power as the Mizukage.

This shows just how highly respected the other party is in Kirigakure.

In this respect, even Chiyo, who was also an elder in power, was far inferior.

"Lord Yagyu, I have long admired your name."

The elderly Master Yuan squinted his eyes and smiled kindly, "Lord Mizukage is away on business, so I will have to entertain you myself. Please forgive me."

"Not at all, it's my honor."

Liu Sheng smiled, exchanged a few polite words with Yuan Shi, and then took out the envelope again, saying, "This is an invitation letter that the Hokage specifically instructed me to deliver to the Mizukage. Since the Mizukage is not here, I would like to trouble Elder Yuan Shi to pass it on to him."

"Sure, sure!"

Yuan Shi nodded, then gestured for Terumi Mei to bring it over.

Mei Terumi immediately took the envelope, silently checked it, and then respectfully handed it to Genji.

Master Yuan took it and opened it, his squinting eyes opening a tiny slit.

Unlike Mifune, Onoki, and the Fourth Raikage, whose expressions changed, Genji put down the letter after reading it, nodded slightly to Yagyu, and said, "I agree to this invitation on behalf of the Mizukage. I will report to the Mizukage as soon as possible and have him go to the Land of Iron."

"That will be troublesome," Liu Sheng nodded slightly.

"This must be your first time visiting Kirigakure, Lord Yagyu. I am too old to show you around, so please let Mei Terumi entertain you," Genshi said politely with a smile.

"No need, I still have invitations to deliver to other ninja villages. I'll bother you again next time."

Yagyu smiled and shook his head in refusal, then his figure vanished again without warning.

Mei Terumi's pupils constricted slightly upon first seeing the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Then, she looked at Master Yuan curiously and asked, "Master Yuan, is Konoha going to hold a Five Kage Summit?"

From what Genji just said, Terumi Mei had clearly guessed something.

The fact that the Mizukage wasn't invited to Konoha indicates that this wasn't a diplomatic event related to the Chunin Exams.

Inviting the Mizukage to the neutral Land of Iron reminded Terumi of the Five Kage Summit, which had not been held for many years.

"Ah—this era is about to go completely mad."

Yuan Shi nodded and handed the letter to Terumi Mei, saying, "Read it yourself."

"Yes."

Mei Terumi, who was practically indistinguishable from the acting Mizukage, naturally took the letter and began to read it.

The next second, Mei Terumi's expression changed drastically.

"The Rinnegan? The legendary top of the three great dojutsu actually exists?" Mei Terumi exclaimed in disbelief. "Isn't that the Sage of Six Paths' eye? If the Rinnegan really exists, doesn't that mean..."

The myth of the Sage of Six Paths is not fictional, and the Ninja Sect also truly existed?

"Konoha wouldn't joke about the deaths of its own people," Master Yuan said slowly. "The information that Jiraiya, one of the Legendary Sannin, risked his life to gather must be true."

"First, the Wood Release reappeared after many years, and now the legendary Rinnegan has come out. How has this world become so unfamiliar?" Mei Terumi felt a lot of pressure.

At first glance, she seems to be an extremely unique existence in the ninja world, possessing two bloodline limits.

However, Mei Terumi was very clear that her strength was not as great as that of the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi, who had lived before.

Yagura Karatachi was not only a perfect Jinchūriki, but he also possessed the ability to see through water mirrors. If the mysterious person controlling him hadn't been able to counter Yagura Karatachi, he would never have been able to stir up the Blood Mist Village.

Even Yagura was easily controlled by that mysterious person. In this era where Wood Release and Rinnegan still exist, Mei Terumi felt that she was really too insignificant.

If the Fourth Shinobi World War were to break out, Kirigakure would probably be no match for the invasion of other powerful shinobi villages.

Mei Terumi then asked Genji, "Genji-sama, are you going to attend the Five Kage Summit in person?"

"No, I am too old to go to the Land of Iron." Master Yuan shook his head and smiled. "You have governed Kirigakure very well over the years. I originally wanted to hone you for a while longer, and after the number of Kirigakure's elite troops recovered to a certain level, I would slowly reveal the fact that the Mizukage is dead, and then appoint you as the Fifth Mizukage."

"However, this Five Kage Summit came too suddenly. The Akatsuki and the Rinnegan have become a major threat to the ninja continent. Even if other ninja villages know about our situation, they will not attack our Hidden Mist Village before we deal with the Akatsuki."

"Therefore, it's time to hand over the power of Kirigakure to you."

After saying that, Master Yuan continued, "Go and select two trustworthy subordinates to become your guards and accompany you to the Land of Iron."

"Yes."

Mei Terumi nodded solemnly, showing no joy at being promoted, only the pressure and heaviness of suddenly shouldering a heavy responsibility.

"Yagyu-kun, you've come to see me!"

"Yeah, I'm here to play with you again, Temari!"

After visiting the Land of Iron, the Hidden Stone Village, the Hidden Cloud Village, and the Hidden Mist Village, Yagyu once again arrived at the Hidden Sand Village.

Unlike the other four places where you enter through the main gate, Yagyu, who is allied with Sunagakure and has an extremely close relationship with the village, teleported directly to Temari's side.

Temari, who was cooking at home, saw Yagyu appear beside her and immediately rushed into his arms with a joyful expression, saying excitedly.

Yagyu was also holding Temari, their actions were very intimate.

It's clear from their conversation that this wasn't the first time Yagyu had come to see Temari.

After Gaara was captured, Yagyu gave Temari a kunai engraved with the Flying Thunder God Technique, which was already a response to the girl's feelings.

So, just like when he went to the Land of Demons to find Shion, Yagyu would occasionally come to Temari to cultivate their relationship.

Of course, he didn't teleport directly to Temari's side. Instead, he teleported outside Sunagakure first, then used his senses to locate Temari and see what she was doing.

If she's busy, Yagyu won't bother her.

If she wasn't busy, Yagyu would teleport to her side.

From expressing her feelings to Yagyu last year to receiving his response this year, Temari, who is naturally outgoing, enthusiastic and proactive like Ino, and a heroine like Tsunade, has long since stopped being shy and timid.

Not to mention hugs, Yagyu has done even more intimate things with her.

If it weren't for the fear of causing a diplomatic incident, Yagyu would have already taken Temari for himself.

Yagyu and Temari cuddled together in the kitchen for a while. At Temari's request, Yagyu hugged her from behind and taught her how to cook Chinese food.

Whether it's Namino Ikome, or Tehan and Shion, they all really enjoy the food Yagyu makes.

After all, people who are used to Japanese food will find it incredibly novel to suddenly eat Chinese food.

"Temari, this is an invitation that Tsunade asked me to give to Gaara."

After feeding Temari in the restaurant and then spending some time being affectionate in the living room, Yagyu finally remembered his business. He took out an envelope and stuffed it into Temari's arms, casually pointing at the oil through her clothes as he said, "The Akatsuki has been making some big moves lately. Tsunade is preparing to invite the Five Kage to the Land of Iron for a Five Kage Summit."

"A Five-Shadow Summit?"

Temari, whose little face was flushed from being pinched, was slightly taken aback at first, and then sighed, "With the start of the First Shinobi World War, the great powers began to become enemies, and it seems like this Five Kage Summit hasn't been held for many years."

"Don't worry, once the Akatsuki is destroyed, the ninja world will soon enter a long period of peace."

Yagyu smiled confidently and said, "With me here, war will not come."

"Yagyu-kun——"

Temari looked at Yagyu with eyes full of adoration, her beautiful eyes gradually becoming misty. She wrapped her arms around Yagyu's neck and slowly leaned closer.

Before long, the same bob haircut as Android 18 from the Dragon Ball world slid down Yagyu's head and began to undulate.

"Tsunade-neechan, the invitations have all been delivered to Mr. Mifune and the Five Kage."

Yagyu did not stay overnight in Sunagakure. After using the life force within the Grell Stone to enhance Temari's physical abilities, he teleported back to Konoha from Sunagakure.

It was already late, and Tsunade had already left work.

So, Yagyu went to Tsunade's mansion to report to her, who was already drunk, depressed, and even had traces of tears in the corners of her eyes.

Clearly, Jiraiya's death was a huge blow to Tsunade.

Just as Kurenai Yuhi had a very deep impression of Asuma Sarutobi, Tsunade, despite repeatedly rejecting Jiraiya, who had always been a simp pursuing her, never felt the same attraction she had when facing Dan Kato.

But among the people who lived from that era to the present day, Jiraiya is undoubtedly the acquaintance Tsunade has the deepest impression of and the greatest affection for, without exception.

Unlike Sarutobi Asuma and Kurenai Yuhi, Jiraiya was not only an acquaintance, but also Tsunade's best friend and companion.

From childhood to adulthood, she, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru fought side by side countless times.

Just like the bond between Team 7, Tsunade also formed a deep bond with Jiraiya and Orochimaru. Now that Jiraiya is dead, Tsunade's grief is no less than that of Nawaki and Dan Kato's deaths.

This usually valiant and sharp-tongued woman secretly reveals her vulnerable side at this moment.

"Thank you for your hard work, Yagyu."

Seeing Yagyu appear as a double image, Tsunade said in a hoarse voice, her movements unsteady as she carried the sake bottle, "Come—come have a drink with your sister!"

"it is good."

This time, Yagyu did not refuse, but sat down next to Tsunade and drank with her.

However, after only a few drinks, Tsunade slumped onto the table as if she had fallen asleep.

Liu Sheng put down his wine cup and prepared to help her back to her room.

Then, just as Yagyu was helping Tsunade up, his robe was suddenly grabbed by a pair of small hands.

Looking down, he saw Tsunade sobbing in his arms, her tears soaking his chest.

Just as Yagyu was about to pat Tsunade's delicate back to comfort her.

Tsunade suddenly looked up at Yagyu, her beautiful eyes reddening, and pleaded in a hoarse voice, "Yagyu, can you promise your sister something?"

"I promise you, sister." Yagyu nodded vigorously, thinking that Tsunade wanted him to kill Pain and avenge Jiraiya.

But the next second, Tsunade was seen nestled in Yagyu's arms, sobbing as she said, "Don't die—promise me, don't die before me!"

Yagyu felt a slight tremor in his heart, clearly not expecting Tsunade's request to be this.

Unexpectedly, in her heart, her fake younger brother was more important than Jiraiya, who had grown up with her, fought alongside her, and faced countless life-and-death situations with her.

It seems that in this crying, sadness is secondary; fear is the key factor.

Jiraiya's death brought back memories of receiving news of Nawaki and Kato Dan's deaths for Tsunade, and the fear that had triggered her hemophobia resurfaced in her heart.

She was afraid to hear news of the deaths of acquaintances and important people again.

So, Yagyu hugged Tsunade tighter in his arms and smiled, "I promise you, sister—I won't die!"

Tsunade continued to sob in Yagyu's arms, and after a long time, she fell asleep in his arms.

After carrying Tsunade back to her room and placing a glass of water on the bedside table, Yagyu instantly appeared on the Hokage Rock.

Standing atop the portrait of the First Hokage, Yagyu looked down at the brightly lit village below.

After the four major ninja clans were wiped out, four areas of this village, which were enormous in size, lost a great deal of their lights.

However, once the Konoha leadership and the various ninja clans have divided up these resources, the village will soon return to its original state.

Thinking of this, Yagyu silently formed a hand seal and gave instructions to his wood clones scattered throughout the ninja world to increase their surveillance of Amegakure.

Jiraiya's death caught Yagyu off guard and taught him a lesson.

As a transmigrator, Yagyu's narrative level surpasses that of countless others. He knows the secrets of this world, and even knows things that the Sage of Six Paths does not know.

For example, divine arts; the Otsutsuki Isshiki, whose whereabouts are unknown; the Otsutsuki Shibai, who seems to transcend this world, etc...

Because of his understanding of the original work, Yagyu naively assumed that Jiraiya would also inform Tsunade before heading to Amegakure.

If he tells Tsunade, then Yagyu will definitely know.

In this way, he could save this Kage-level powerhouse who, despite being lecherous and fond of peeping, was fundamentally a righteous man who valued the village above all else.

After all, Yagyu had already achieved a balance between the two extremes. He didn't need Jiraiya's death to transform Naruto, nor did he need Naruto to become the savior of the ninja world.

Unexpectedly, Jiraiya still died.

Ultimately, he became the key to Naruto's transformation into the prophesied child, or to put it bluntly, he became the stepping stone for the child of destiny's growth.

This made Yagyu realize that, in addition to information about certain important characters, there was also information about some locations and props.

The original plot is no longer worth referencing.

The butterfly effect he triggered has completely distorted the so-called plot.

In that case, there's no need to wait any longer; let the plot go completely out of control.
