Yes, the Hokage!

Upon hearing this, Terumi Mei's expression changed drastically. The slight goodwill she had just developed towards Feng Lan shattered instantly, replaced by shock, anger, and fear.

That's ruthless! This guy is really ruthless. He's trying to cut off the future high-end combat power of the Hidden Mist Village with his very first words!

More importantly, the Blood Mist Village policy was originally intended to suppress or even kill ninjas with bloodline limits, so there is a high probability that Yagura will agree!

She wanted to speak up and offer advice, but her relationship with Yagura was nowhere near as good as that with Minato and Furan. Speaking rashly would only have the opposite effect, especially since this was the Five Kage Summit! Furan could command respect not only because he was backed by Minato Namikaze, but also because he had accomplished many great things that made the Kage acknowledge him as an equal.

And what about herself? Who did she think she was? Those high and mighty Shadows wouldn't even give a second glance to a little guard like her.

However, before Mei Terumi could speak, the Tsuchikage couldn't sit still any longer: "Advisor Fenglan, isn't it a bit too much for you to ask for such an exorbitant amount?"

“Making a deal is a matter of mutual consent,” Feng Lan said with a smile. “As long as Lord Yagura finds it acceptable, it’s not excessive.”

"Is Konoha going to collect the bloodline limits of other villages?!" The Raikage slammed his fist on the table. "Kumakuha will never allow it!"

"Speaking of collecting bloodline limits from other villages, it seems like Kumogakure has done the most." Feng Lan looked at her innocently. "What, is it that Kumogakure can do the first thing, but Konoha can't do the fifteenth? Can monks do it, but I can't?"

The Raikage was momentarily speechless. He wasn't usually one to talk big, but just then, the mysterious guard suddenly spoke coldly, his voice unusually hoarse: "That's still nothing compared to what Konoha did. They even dared to openly use a forbidden technique like the Impure World Reincarnation. Aren't they afraid of incurring public wrath?"

Upon hearing this, everyone present paled!

Chapter 121 Black Jue

"Impure World Reincarnation?!"

The moment these four words appeared, everyone in the venue was stunned. Its terrifying effect and negative impact have been described earlier. It can be said that as soon as these words were uttered, Konoha instantly fell into a state of being condemned by everyone!

Feng Lan was also taken aback, but remained calm. Her gaze first swept over Luo Sha, and seeing that he seemed even more anxious than herself, she ruled out that option: [He wasn't the one who leaked the information.]

The Sand Village is furious that the Impure World Reincarnation card has been played, because they have lost their last card to restrain Konoha. Whether Konoha will keep its promises or not depends entirely on their mood.

So, who could it be?

Feng Lan's brain was working at high speed. Although there weren't many people who knew about the Edo Tensei, there were definitely quite a few. She had basically seen everyone in the delegation she had brought. In addition to the Yahiko trio, some members of the Akatsuki had also seen them. On the Sunagakure side, there were only Rasa, Pakura, and the Chiyo siblings.

Now that we've ruled out the possibility that the information leaked from Sunagakure, it's also possible that the intelligence came from Konoha or Amegakure, and there are many possibilities for the Raikage's identity as a bodyguard.

He was multitasking, pondering the other person's identity while casually replying, "Guardian, anyone can make baseless accusations. If you want to accuse Konoha, please provide corresponding evidence. I can also make empty claims, such as... that Kumogakure might have been colluding with Uchiha Madara all along!"

To others, this would be nothing more than a joke. Uchiha Madara? He's been dead for ages, but the black-robed guard's body trembled slightly.

【Um? 】

Feng Lan immediately noticed this detail: "Lord Raikage, if I may be so bold, is this person really from your Hidden Cloud Village? Could it be some random Tom, Dick, or Harry who came here with some baseless rumors to frame our Hidden Leaf Village?"

The Raikage's expression grew even more annoyed, but he couldn't bring himself to retort.

"Heh heh heh, Advisor Fenglan is quite the smooth talker," the guard chuckled in a low voice. "But no matter how much you try to argue, you can't escape this undeniable fact!"

As he spoke, he took out a crystal ball, which, like a video recorder, displayed scenes of the First and Second Hokage in Amegakure.

The third generation also had one of these, but it was clearly not his, and the identity of this black-robed guard was about to be revealed.

"It really is Edo Tensei?!" Onoki couldn't help but exclaim in shock. "Konoha, you're conducting such a dangerous experiment! Aren't you afraid of becoming the enemy of the ninja world?"

"Hokage!" The Raikage's aura rose as well. "If you don't give us an explanation, Konoha won't leave here unscathed!"

"Lord Hokage." Even Yagura temporarily put aside the matter of the ninja sword, "Please explain."

"Lord Hokage, even though the Land of Iron has always been neutral, this incident is still unavoidable..." Mifune stood up, his hand unconsciously resting on his sword.

"Hahahahaha!"

However, at that moment, a series of wild laughs interrupted everyone's questions, and everyone's attention was once again focused on Feng Lan.

He laughed with the triumphant air of Iori Yagami for a full half minute, until the hall was completely silent, before forcefully pointing at the Raikage: "Well, so you really were in cahoots with Madara Uchiha!"

The first time he said it, people would think he was just talking nonsense, but Feng Lan made such accusations twice in a row, and his tone was so confident. In addition, considering his previous behavior, he couldn't possibly be someone whose words carried no weight.

"Uchiha... Madara?"

Onoki was the first to change his expression. When he was young, he was taken by his master Mu to Konoha as an envoy. Then, he was unlucky and encountered Madara. Madara beat him up badly and he was seriously injured. So, before Gaara enlightened him and he finally regained his will of stone, he had some Madara PTSD.

"Tsuchikage, do you really believe what this guy says?!" Raikage roared.

“Of course I have evidence, but before that…” Feng Lan took a deep breath, “Minato, take this guy down!”

"Shh!"

Almost at the same time that Feng Lan called out Minato's name, the Golden Flash had already moved. Neither the battle-hardened Tsuchikage, nor the Raikage, who was also known for his speed, nor Yagura, who was also a perfect Jinchuriki, could react in time.

"Boom!"

The black-robed guard was slammed to the ground by Minato, his robes ripped open, revealing his black, jelly-like body underneath.

"It really is you, Madara Uchiha's will, Black Zetsu!"

Startled by Feng Lan's shout, Black Zetsu was terrified. In fact, there were very few people in the entire ninja world who had seen him in this state. The last time he personally revealed his true appearance was to Otsutsuki Indra. How could this person have revealed his identity so easily?

Fortunately, he only revealed his superficial identity. Black Zetsu was not Madara Uchiha's will, but Kaguya Otsutsuki's!

Of course, Feng Lan, being a transmigrator, certainly knew this, but if he mentioned Kaguya Otsutsuki here, the people around him would be completely confused. It would be better to use Madara Uchiha's name to scare them first.

It wasn't until Black Zetsu's identity was exposed that Mifune belatedly exclaimed, "Hokage-sama! How could you make a move during the Five Kage Summit?"

“Feng Lan must have his reasons for wanting me to take down this guy.” As Minato spoke, the sealing technique was already being applied to Black Zetsu. “And as it turns out, his judgment was completely correct.”

Seeing that he was about to be sealed, Black Zetsu didn't dare to stay any longer and immediately burrowed into the ground to escape. He was more skilled and experienced in this trick than White Zetsu, and he also had an advantage that White Zetsu didn't have: as long as one part of his body escaped, he was gone, and the remaining part that was caught would quickly decay and turn into branches.

During the Fourth Shinobi World War, Black Zetsu used this trick to deceive Chojuro, secretly arrive at the front lines, control Obito, and revive Madara.

His direct combat ability is not strong. He relies on his strategy behind the scenes, just like Feng Lan. He is unwilling to expose himself to the public. However, he did not expect that Feng Lan would be so unethical and dare to send someone to attack during the Five Kage Summit, where fighting is prohibited. He also did not expect that the Golden Flash would be so fast!

Black Zetsu's original intention was to trick the Raikage, who was heartbroken over the loss of his younger brother, into attacking Konoha. His real target was Obito. However, he had just released the information about the Edo Tensei in an attempt to make Konoha the target of everyone's attacks when Feng Lan captured him. For now, he can only flee and think of another way.

Sensing that what he was holding was rapidly decaying, Minato frowned and stood up: "He got away."

"Explain yourself, Raikage. How could Madara Uchiha's will be connected to you?" Feng Lan pressed on relentlessly.

The Raikage's expression twitched: "You people from Konoha disregarded the rules of the Five Kage Summit and forced your way in, and now you want an explanation from me? Do you really think I'm afraid to start a war?!"

"The Five Kage Summit only stipulated that we wouldn't attack each other. That monster wasn't even from Kumogakure. Minato's attack on him didn't violate the rules. Or... does the Raikage admit that the guy is from your Kumogakure?"

When it comes to verbal sparring, ten Raikages couldn't beat Feng Lan, and he had no intention of continuing the argument: "Enough talk! Let's get straight to it!"

With a single punch, the Raikage smashed the table in front of him. The two remaining guards, Yugito, were also engulfed in blue flames. Minato's right hand flashed with a Rasengan, and with a flick of his left hand, he scattered Flying Thunder God Kunai everywhere. Obito even lifted his robe and began forming hand seals.

"Calm down, everyone!" Mifune tried to mediate, but neither side paid him any attention. In the end, the Raikage didn't take the Land of Iron seriously, and Minato didn't believe that Mifune could make the Raikage stop.

"Shh!"

But just as the atmosphere was about to explode, a semi-transparent beam of light swept across the space between Raikage and Minato, instantly obliterating the tables, chairs, and ground in its path.

Dust Release: Ōnoki, that cunning old fox, finally couldn't sit still any longer.

"Raikage, Hokage, please restrain yourselves a little. We are here for talks, not to start a real war." He hovered in mid-air. "Kumakuha needs to explain what that black creature that was clearly not human was. And Konoha shouldn't even think about running away. If you don't explain the Impure World Reincarnation clearly, you will be the enemy of the entire ninja world!"

It must be said that the older generation still possesses considerable skill and authority. If it were Yagura and Rasa who were to mediate, neither side would necessarily listen.

The blue lightning around the Raikage slowly dissipated, Minato returned to his position, Obito silently lowered his hand, and Yugito's blue flames also went out.

Seeing that no real fighting had broken out, the other guards who had been on guard all breathed a sigh of relief.

"Well then, since Konoha was the first to bring up the matter of the Impure World Reincarnation, let Konoha explain it," Feng Lan said calmly. "It's very simple; it was the rogue ninja Orochimaru who used it."

"You think you can get away with everything by blaming the rogue ninja?!" The Raikage pointed a finger. "Just like you said about me before, produce the evidence!"

Feng Lan raised his hand, and a scroll was unfurled in mid-air: "This contains Orochimaru's experimental data on the Impure World Reincarnation. You may wish to record it down and have your village's researchers calculate it when you get back."

"When the Second Hokage invented this move, it was only used in conjunction with the multiplicative explosive tags to counter the self-destructing zombies of the enemy. However, the First and Second Hokage not only had self-awareness, but could also utilize some of their abilities from before they were born. This could not have been done without considerable experimentation."

"Orochimaru used this move as a last resort when we were chasing him, but he was eventually captured and controlled by Konoha. After that, the Kage resurrected by Edo Tensei naturally communicated with me. I suppose Black Zetsu secretly recorded the scene using a secret technique at that time."

"This is still just your side of the story!" the Raikage roared. "Even if these records can be used as evidence, who knows if they were originally developed by your Konoha? What about the witnesses?!"

“There are witnesses, of course.” Feng Lan tilted her head toward Luo Sha. “Actually, the Third Kazekage was also resurrected at the same time. Orochimaru secretly killed him in order to study the Reanimation Jutsu. It was through this that I was able to contact Sunagakure and form an alliance.”

When Luo Sha heard Feng Lan turn the topic to himself, he trembled, because if the Third Kazekage was mentioned, he would have to reveal the truth that he was killed by Sasori, which would bring shame to the village.

But now that Feng Lan has taken the initiative to let Orochimaru take the blame, he is naturally more than happy to do so, and immediately stated: "Advisor Feng Lan is right. It was precisely because Konoha took the initiative to contact me and had the Third Hokage of Edo Tensei communicate with me for a long time, and officially completed the handover of the Will of Wind, that Sunagakure was willing to put aside past hatred and form an alliance with Konoha."

"Hmph, so you're saying the Third Shinobi World War was caused by your Konoha!" The Raikage still wouldn't give up and continued to press the issue.

But his skills were nothing compared to Feng Lan's: "Orochimaru was publicly declared a rogue ninja by Konoha a long time ago. How can his actions be attributed to Konoha? Besides..."

He smiled maliciously: "If we really want to pinpoint the cause of the Third Shinobi World War, it was because you Kumogakure took advantage of Sunagakure's weak defenses to launch a surprise attack. You are the real culprits who started the Third Shinobi World War!"
