Naruto: I, who didn't want to be hacked to pieces, saved the ninja world.

Karin nestled in Shirakumo Aoba's arms, seemingly unconcerned about Kurotsuchi's situation, but rather filled with interest about the next Five Kage Summit.

She hasn't tried it yet...

Judging from Temari's comment, it seems like it's more fun with more people.

Bai Yunqing pinched her little nose and said in an annoyed tone.

"Then you can come to the conference room to sit in on the meeting tomorrow."

"Huh? Tomorrow? In the conference room?"

Karin paused for a moment.

"Yes, today's Five Shadows meeting was cancelled due to force majeure, so it will be postponed to tomorrow in the conference room."

Bai Yunqingye said matter-of-factly, "So, do you want to come to the conference room to sit in on the proceedings tomorrow?"

"...Never mind."

Karin immediately lost interest when she heard that it was a proper Five Kage Summit.

Baiyun Qingye: "..."

Fortunately, no one seems to be paying attention to them right now.

Fu also noticed the strange looks from the others around her, as well as Kurotsuchi's stiff expression, and tilted her head in confusion.

Did I say something wrong?

"Ahem, no, dinner is already prepared. You're tired after a long day of work and school, let's eat first."

It was Uzuki Yugao who stepped in to help Kurotsuchi out of the predicament.

They're all family, we can't really let Heitu Society die.

Although the only people at the scene who were unaware of the truth were probably Fu and Uchiha Hikaru...

"okay."

"..."

Seeing that Uzuki Yugao had spoken, Terumi Mei naturally didn't say anything more.

The whole family sat down at the dining table to eat.

No further incidents occurred after that.

In other words, when it was time to go to sleep, Fu pulled Kurotsuchi back home, intending for the two of them to sleep together.

Then Samui and Mabui were also taken away by Yukito.

Baiyun Qingye had no idea what the three of them had plotted before dinner.

He didn't realize it until the very last moment.

This is a trial.

-

The next day.

It was still pouring rain last night.

It's another calm and sunny day.

Shirokumo Aoba arrived at the Hokage Building's conference room on time, accompanied by Terumi Mei, Kurotsuchi, Samui, and Shizune.

However, Gaara and Kankuro had clearly arrived much earlier.

"You guys are really early."

Baiyun Qingye raised an eyebrow.

Yesterday, I managed to find a plausible reason to explain to the two of them in advance why the Five Kage Summit was postponed by one day.

I also told the two of them the time and place of the postponement.

However, the two arrived ahead of schedule.

"Well, we're not very familiar with Konoha, and we didn't have anything to do at the guesthouse, so we came over early."

Gaara's face didn't show much expression.

He didn't really care about the Five Shadows Summit being postponed by a day.

After all, yesterday's hot spring experience was quite good for both him and Kankuro.

Because the Five Kage Summit has been postponed, they may have to stay in Konoha for two more days.

I feel a little bad for Chiyo-sama, who is covering for him.

"In that case, after the meeting, let Temari show you around Konoha."

White clouds and green leaves are not demons.

Since her two brothers-in-law had finally come to Konoha, she gave Temari a break and asked them to show the two of them around Konoha.

"Then thank you very much, Lord Hokage."

Upon hearing this, Gaara couldn't help but let a slight smile appear on his poker face.

Baiyun Qingye didn't say much about it, but simply nodded and sat down at the head of the conference table.

"Okay, everyone, please sit down. Let's begin the meeting."

Mei Terumi, Kurotsuchi, and Samui naturally took their seats as well.

Seeing this, Baiyun Qingye looked at Jingyin and said, "Jingyin-neechan, let's begin."

"Ah."

Shizune stepped forward, holding the documents. "The main content of this Five Shadows meeting can be roughly divided into two parts. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask."

"First, there's the matter of integrating the five great ninja villages."

After he finished speaking, no one reacted in any particular way except for pursing their lips.

After all, it was something we already knew.

However, what Shizune said next surprised everyone.

"Regarding the method of integrating the ninja villages, Konoha will not merge the other four major ninja villages. The four major ninja villages will remain in their original positions and administrative status."

"This……"

Not only Gaara, but also Mei Terumi, Kurotsuchi, and Samui were somewhat surprised.

After all, they didn't know this beforehand either.

Shizune glanced at it and then continued her story.

"However, the other four major ninja villages will be under the jurisdiction of the Land of Fire, just like Konoha."

This is actually just a different way of saying it.

After all, Shirokumo Aoba is currently the Daimyo of the Land of Fire. Whether he belongs to Konoha or the Land of Fire, he is the one who listens to Shirokumo Aoba.

But once you change the wording, it becomes much easier to accept.

From now on, the relationship between Konoha and the other four major ninja villages will be roughly equivalent to that between a municipality and a prefecture-level city.

Having discussed the ownership of the ninja village, the ninjas within it also need to be re-evaluated.

Silent continued.

"Secondly, regarding ninjas as a military force, from now on, each ninja village's ninja corps for each term shall not exceed five hundred people."

"Ok?"

Gaara, like a well-behaved student, raised his hand before asking his question.

"What should we do with the extra ninjas?"

Sunagakure is considered the weakest of the five great ninja villages, but even excluding those who only learned basic ninjutsu, it still has two to three thousand ninjas.

If there are only 500 people, many will lose their jobs.

"Resettlement arrangements."

The silent answer was very simple.

Gaara still didn't quite understand.

Shizune then handed a copy of the document to everyone, saying, "Regarding ninja abilities, sometimes they are far more effective in other aspects than simply in combat and killing."

"I think the Tsuchikage should be very experienced in this regard."

As she spoke, Shizune used Kurotsuchi, who was also one of the Five Kage, as an example.

Kurotsuchi: "..."

Heitu also gave Jingyin a somewhat resentful look.

Fortunately, she used her transformation technique to get to the construction site when she was in Konoha.

Otherwise, another unofficial story will circulate in the ninja world about the Tsuchikage of Iwagakure's early experience of fighting ashes in Konoha.

Chapter 824 How many ninjas does the Daimyo still have?

The group of people then picked up the documents and began to read them.

Of all those present, only Gaara was completely bewildered and observed the situation most closely.

This document is not complicated; it is roughly an analysis of what jobs different types of ninjas are suitable for in the future.

However, this is just a rough analysis. The actual approach will depend on the specific circumstances and will require a case-by-case analysis.

After Gaara finished reading, he turned his curiosity to Kurotsuchi.

"Does the Tsuchikage really have a lot of experience with this?"

Kurotsuchi had only recently become the Tsuchikage, and Gaara didn't know her very well.

"Uh……"

Heitu's expression stiffened for a moment, and after thinking about it, she nodded. However, she certainly couldn't reveal her own story, so she only told part of the facts.
