I founded the "Bragging Cult" in Naruto.

Chapter 733 The project team leader may seem to have no job, but no one can live without him.

"There were so many twists and turns in the whole thing. I was so irresponsible back then. I never imagined it would all turn out this way."

Inside the tavern, Minato, no longer in his impure body, shook his head with a sigh. He held the wine glass in his hand for a long time, then finally brought it to his lips and drank it down in one gulp.

"Brother, I'll have a drink with you."

Before Tatsuma could even raise his glass, a hand was already around Minato's shoulder. A tipsy Hashirama Senju said apologetically, "If I had been able to control Madara back then, none of these tragedies would have happened."

"Ton ton ton~"

As he spoke, Hashirama Senju downed a whole bottle of sake in one gulp. Tatsuma and Tobirama Senju exchanged a glance, then shook their heads in perfect unison, looking utterly disgusted, and simultaneously raised their glasses for a drink.

"The Uchiha were born evil. I had doubts about the truth of the whole thing back then, but I never expected that I would still underestimate Madara Uchiha's ambition."

After finishing his drink, Tobirama Senju said quietly, but Hashirama Senju shook his head and said, "The ninja world is so vast that it's not enough for Madara to dance with. I should have foreseen today's situation."

"Let's not talk about that anymore, Minato."

Tatsuma filled Minato's glass with sake, but only poured half a glass for himself. He put down the bottle, raised his glass, and said, "Naruto might still be confused. There are some things that only you, as his father, can explain."

"I know, and I also want to stay with him forever, but I am already dead. Taking advantage of the calamity in the ninja world to see the light of day again and meet him one last time is the best I can do."

Minato raised his glass, sighed, and said, "Let's stop drinking here for today. I want to go see Naruto."

"Where is his mother?"

Hashirama Senju asked, and Minato shook his head, replying, "Kyuu is soft-hearted. I'm afraid that as she comes and goes, she'll become even more reluctant to leave, which might disrupt the order of life and death. Let's just forget about it."

If he could, he would like to see his wife, the wife he owes so much to, but some things are not as good as they seem.

If they abuse the forbidden technique of Impure World Reincarnation for momentary pleasure, disrupting the order between the two worlds and breaking the barrier between life and death, how are they any different from their enemies?

Tobirama Senju nodded in agreement. As the developer of the technique, he knew better than anyone that it should be subject to the highest level of regulation.

Even he needs to abide by the rules. If he had acted according to his own whims, he would have been reborn as his parents and siblings long ago.

The use of ninjutsu must be confined to ninja affairs and cannot be spread indiscriminately. Otherwise, losing respect for power will only lead to being devoured by it.

After Minato finished his drink, he said goodbye and left. After he left, Tatsuma didn't drink much anymore, watching Tobirama Senju drink cup after cup and Hashirama Senju chug bottle after bottle.

"Grandpa! Second Grandpa! Tatsuma! You've gone too far! I'm busy at the Hokage Building, and you're slacking off here?!"

Suddenly, the door to the private room was pushed open, and Tsunade walked in with a displeased expression. She snatched a bottle of sake that Hashirama Senju had just opened and gulped it down.

He has a similar air to Hashirama Senju.

"Busy? You?"

Tobirama Senju glanced at Tsunade sideways, his reply brief, but his sarcastic and unsettling remarks were on full display.

Hearing her second grandfather's words, Tsunade blushed. She wasn't exactly busy, but she still had to stay away from the Hokage Building, since as the Hokage, she was the backbone of the organization.

Many things, even though they don't require her planning and the implementation work is unrelated to her, cannot be carried out without her stamp. So, she's busy.

Perhaps, while Chenma and her second grandfather aren't leaving so soon this time, she could optimize the workflow again? Ideally, it would be so optimized that she wouldn't even need to stamp anything.

Before she could even ask, Tatsuma inquired, "Teacher, how's the Five Kage Summit going?"

"Hmph! With me in charge, of course there won't be any problems."

Tsunade proudly raised her head and said, "Those Kage have been planting spies in our village quite a bit. Although they have doubts about Madara Uchiha, they are very interested in the Akatsuki organization and the collective resurrection of the Konoha villagers."

Therefore, as soon as I mentioned holding a Five Kage Summit, they agreed. A even offered to persuade Mifune of the Land of Iron.

The practice of spies being planted between ninja villages has always existed and cannot be eradicated. Even Tatsuma would not take action against spies from other villages unless absolutely necessary.

The existence of spies is not without its drawbacks. While they can steal intelligence, they can also relay messages that one ninja village wants to convey to another.

In the event of conflict or friction, these spies could also become a tool for the ninja village to demonstrate its stance.

For example, before starting a war, you can dig out a group of spies and kill them. Depending on the extent of the digging, you can demonstrate your toughness.

Of course, this involves a great deal of espionage and counter-espionage work. To make spies from other ninja villages have a beneficial effect on one's own ninja village, one must have sufficient counter-espionage capabilities.

If a ninja village cannot even figure out the spies planted within its own village, then these spies are harmful and useless, just like the spies that Tatsuma planted in the Land of Water back then, which only caused damage to the Land of Water.

The successful convening of this Five Kage Summit owes much to the spies planted in Konoha by other villages. Upon hearing this, Tobirama Senju nodded and said, "Not bad."

These weren't exactly compliments, but they brought a smile to Tsunade's face. She then looked at Hashirama Senju, hoping her grandfather would praise her too, but Hashirama scratched his head and asked:

"Can the Five Kage Summit be refused?"

He recalled that when he convened the Five Shadows Summit, everyone arrived without hesitation, without even a question of agreement or rejection.

"Ignore him."

Tobirama Senju rolled his eyes at his older brother. This older brother was top-tier in the ninja world below the head, but his brain was indeed not very sharp. He had just heard that Minato Namikaze died because of sealing the Nine-Tails and almost blurted out that "the Nine-Tails can also kill people".

After being stopped in time, Hashirama Senju finally realized what was happening and said something like, "The Nine-Tails is indeed quite powerful. I was seriously injured when I sealed the Nine-Tails back then."

But such words are only meant to bully young people like Minato Namikaze. Does Tobirama Senju know what kind of environment Hashirama Senju was in when he sealed the Nine-Tails?

The so-called "severely injured" Hashirama Senju was able to seal the Nine-Tails and fight Madara Uchiha. After Madara Uchiha was defeated and Hashirama Senju was severely injured, he was still able to seal the Nine-Tails with a simple head pat.

Tsunade, still more inclined to listen to Tobirama Senju, nodded and then asked, "Then who should I take to the meeting? Second Grandfather, why don't you come with me? Back when Great Grandfather convened the Five Kage Summit, you were the one who protected him."

They were called guards, but in reality, they were handling the actual meeting content. Even so, they couldn't stop their own elder brother from kowtowing and handing over assets like tailed beasts.

The more Tobirama Senju thought about it, the angrier he became. He glared at the bleary-eyed Hashirama Senju, then looked at Tatsuma and asked, "Fourth Hokage, what do you think?"

"If all six Hokage go together, either they'll agree to our proposal, or we'll help them agree to it."

To prevent others from refilling his glass, Chenma pretended to hold up an empty glass, and the words he spoke were precisely what made him seem menacing.

Tobirama Senju smiled and said in a very good mood, "As expected of the Fourth Hokage."
