Naruto: I am Ninja World Ghost Story, who are you?

The dense forest that shouldn't have appeared suddenly rose up from the white mist, then returned to the motionless 'Misty Forest' environment that we had seen before.

"Damn it, could it be... could it be..." The fourth generation Ai, who hadn't spent much time with his father, seemed to have already figured something out.

"Brother, please accept my condolences. Let's go back now."

There was no information about the 'Misty Forest', and the atmosphere of the entire ninja world changed after witnessing the Third Raikage enter and not emerge again.

The nations convened the long-dormant Five Shadows meeting to discuss what kind of team to send to resolve the crisis in the 'Misty Forest'.

Meanwhile, Amegakure, the village closest to the Land of Grass, also learned of this information.

Nagato was deeply troubled because of a piece of intelligence he had previously obtained.

Any single shadow clone that enters will 'collapse' and disappear as soon as it gets close to the mist. He doesn't know if he can enter using the Six Paths of Pain.

Therefore, the Akatsuki organization also began secret talks.

Within the space, colorful phantoms appeared one by one.

In the end, Nagato's gaze fell on Itachi Uchiha.

"Suzaku, you should know about what's been happening lately."

Itachi Uchiha sighed and nodded slightly: "I never expected such a strange thing to happen to the Uchiha clan."

"Hmph!" Kakuzu was somewhat dissatisfied. He had received the latest intelligence, which indicated that a 'world-ending crisis' had recently occurred in the ninja world and was likely related to the 'Uchiha'.

"Itachi! Do you know what you've done?! The 'Misty Forest' in the Land of Grass recently is very likely the work of the 'Strange Tales of the Uchiha'."

Logically speaking, shouldn't you, the 'culprit,' be the one to solve this?!

Itachi Uchiha frowned, his gaze towards Kakuzu filled with icy coldness: "Do you have any evidence?"

"In all my years, I have never seen anything so terrifying."

"Many ninja from various ninja villages have been sent out to probe, but none of them have returned. Even the Third Raikage of Kumogakure died there! This means that even Kage-level ninjas cannot clear the level!"

"Tell me, how can the ninja world stop this crisis!"

Upon hearing Kakuzu's words, everyone's gaze turned to Uchiha Itachi.

Konan's expression flashed with disgust. Not long ago, she had become friends with Uchiha Bufan, exchanging daily conversations and trying to get closer to him. However, she found that his personality was 'very normal' and he was not the kind of arrogant and annoying Uchiha ninja at all.

Yet this innocent child was murdered by that scumbag Itachi Uchiha.

Not only that, Itachi Uchiha didn't even spare his family and friends... This made Konan, who already valued friendship and relationships, even more disgusted with him.

"I suggest that we capture Uchiha Bufan and bring him into the 'Misty Forest,' or guide him there."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Nan flew into a rage.

"That's a great idea! But we can't get close to Uchiha Bufan. However, we can still find a way to capture Uchiha Sasuke. That way, we can use Sasuke to lure Bufan into the 'Misty Forest,' which might solve this crisis."

Konan's colorful phantom stared at Itachi Uchiha's cold gaze and spoke each word clearly.

"That's my thing."

"Wasn't this your idea?"

Seeing the two arguing, Pain interrupted, "Enough! Our goal is to find a way to resolve the crisis in the ninja world."

"This matter concerns everyone; no one can escape it."

“The area covered by the ‘Misty Forest’ is expanding. One day, the Land of Grass will be swallowed up, and the surrounding Land of Rain, Land of Fire, Land of Earth, Land of Waterfall, and even more distant countries will not be able to escape.”

At that moment, Scorpion's voice rang out.

"Can we solve this using a barrier?"

Upon hearing this, Payne said with a hint of helplessness, "If casting a barrier were effective, there would be no need to convene the Five Kage Summit."

His gaze then fell upon the 'immortal duo': "Kakuzu, Hidan, you both possess immortality..."

"I can't do it. I'm not immortal, I just have a few more lives than ordinary people. Don't come to me with things that require you to die." Kakuzu curled his lip. He wasn't stupid. The Third Raikage was dead, and the ninja teams sent out by various ninja villages hadn't returned. Who knew what was going on inside?

Nagato gave a wry smile, calmed his mind, and controlled Pain to speak in a steady tone: "What I mean is, let the two of you work as mercenaries alongside the ninja village's team to conquer the area."

Then, worried that Kakuzu and Hidan might be unwilling, he added, "You know, if it really is 'that person's' 'death game,' you might also receive a corresponding reward."

After being tempted by this, the two were indeed somewhat interested. After all, Kurotsuchi was just an ordinary girl back then. After obtaining the Mangekyou Sharingan, her fame soared, and some even said that Kurotsuchi's strength had surpassed that of a certain S-rank Uchiha rogue ninja.

"In that case, please ask the chief to negotiate. I won't step in without a generous reward."

"Hey! I didn't agree to that!"

"Do you want to watch the ninja world be destroyed, leaving you alone to worship this so-called evil god?"

Provoked by Kakuzu's words, Hidan immediately fell silent.

"Okay, okay, this is such a hassle."

"I must sacrifice that damned 'Misty Forest' to the evil god!"

Then, everyone's gaze couldn't help but turn to Uchiha Itachi, who hadn't said a word.

"Since that's the case, let's decide on this." Itachi Uchiha stepped onto the field.

"Damn! I thought he was all talk and no action, but he just ran away when things got tough?!" Deidara had long been annoyed by Itachi Uchiha's arrogant expression and immediately started mocking him.

"Hmph! How can someone who can wipe out an entire clan without feeling have the sense of responsibility to save the ninja world?" Sasori's hoarse voice rang out.

Immediately, everyone began to condemn the attack.

Even Kisame, who became Itachi's teammate, didn't dare to utter a sound.

After the meeting ended, Kisame asked Itachi what he thought.

"My body is not strong enough to resolve this crisis."

Itachi Uchiha knew very well that, according to current intelligence, the number of ninjas devoured by the 'Misty Forest' had exceeded one hundred. The exact number was uncounted, but it was likely over two hundred, or even three hundred...

None of the Chunin, Jonin, or even the Third Raikage survived.

This also means that if he goes, he might be physically destroyed before he even clears the level.

So, Sasuke...

He also wanted to save his eyes for Sasuke and use Kotoamatsukami to deal with the ever-uncontrollable Uchiha Fufan.

Meanwhile, Obito Uchiha approached Nagato and decided to join Hanzo in taking on this "death game" alongside the "immortal duo".

Iron country.

Snowy day.

The start of the Five Kage Summit led to a shortage of resources throughout the ninja world, and the price of many foods also began to rise due to this crisis, thus affecting the economic development of various countries.

"Then, let's begin the talks. Please feel free to share your ideas. This crisis in the ninja world depends entirely on you all."

In the center of the venue, Mifune, the leader of the Land of Iron, announced the start of the talks.

Then, the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, looked first at the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, who possessed knowledge of countless forbidden techniques and was standing next to the Fifth Hokage, Kakashi Hatake.

"I remember the Second Hokage knew a technique to revive the dead, right?"

"If possible, I have some belongings or hair of a deceased Iwa ninja. Do you think it's possible to revive him and question him?"

Tobirama Senju shook his head immediately: "It won't work. I've tried, and all the summoning attempts failed."

"It's possible that the 'Misty Forest' devoured their souls, or that they were bound and left in the 'Misty Forest' area, which is why I can't summon them."

Upon hearing this, the air in the room fell silent once again.

"Then how about we each send out our own ninja armies?"

"No!" x4

The Fourth Kazekage, Rasa's, voice immediately drew rebuttals from the crowd.

Knowing that her village's forces were pitifully small, Mei Terumi bluntly said, "What if the ninjas we send out increase the difficulty of the 'game,' or make the crisis more challenging, leaving all our ninjas there... tell me, will the village still have any ninjas left then?!"

Even the Fourth Raikage, who was always known as a boor, couldn't help but nod: "How could such low-level words come out of a Kage's mouth?"

"If there are many people, then it won't all fail, and at least one person will survive."

Enraged by the repeated mockery, Rasa retorted, "Does that mean quality matters?! Wasn't your father supposed to be the strongest Raikage? How did he die?!"

boom!

"You want to start a war, don't you!"

"Hmph!" Luo Sha didn't pick up on the topic, crossed his arms, snorted coldly, and ignored it completely.

"Tch, coward." The Fourth Raikage sat back down.

Onoki took a deep breath and finally looked at Konoha and the others: "So, Fifth Hokage, what are your thoughts?"

Kakashi Hatake, dressed in the Hokage robe and wearing a straw hat, placed his hands on the platform and clasped them slightly together: "Currently, the best solution is to send out our elite forces. Only by sending our elite forces can we resolve this."

"Based on the three instances that occurred in Konoha Village."

"It is clear that the number of people is not the key to victory or defeat; the most important factor is the individual strength of the soldiers."

"Sending out troops is a last resort. While I don't approve of the Fourth Kazekage's decision to send out troops, if sending out elite forces still doesn't solve the problem..."

Kakashi sighed and continued, "I suggest we abandon the Land of Grass and allow ample time to train the Allied Shinobi Forces so we can be in better shape to deal with the crisis."

“I agree with Godai’s opinion.” Terumi Mei thought this method was feasible.

Even if we can't win, at least we can buy time, giving the ninja world enough time to train more excellent ninjas and then form an army to deal with the crisis.

However, this is contingent on the fact that the elite forces of the five countries have not been dealt with.

“I agree as well,” said the Fourth Raikage.

"The Fifth Hokage's idea is good, and I agree with it," said Onoki.

"Hmph! Agreed." Although Luo Sha was dissatisfied, the other countries all voted in favor, so he followed the group.

Therefore, the five countries planned to spend a month selecting suitable ninjas to form an "elite allied force." Each country would send six or more ninjas with the strength of Jonin. Furthermore, they would recruit powerful ninjas from across the entire ninja world with generous rewards, aiming to resolve this crisis with a team whose members were at least Jonin.

A short month passed in the blink of an eye.

In four months, the 'Misty Forest' expanded to an area with a radius of 1,200 meters and a diameter of 2,400 meters.

As planned, it will reach the vicinity of Kusagakure in about a year; and in three years, it will affect the capital of the Land of Grass as well as various villages and towns.

Overall, the ninja world was much more optimistic upon receiving this news, because the 'Mist Forest' would only expand its inherent range by ten meters each day.

Therefore, the ninja world still has ample time to cultivate more talent and resolve this crisis as soon as possible.

However, no one can say for sure what kind of terrifying creatures might appear inside, so it's best to deal with it as soon as possible.

In the land of grass.

Each of the major ninja villages dispatched a formidable team, none of whom were less than Jonin in strength.

The Konoha team, led by Hatake Sagumo, consisted of six Jonin.

The Iwagakure team, led by Kyoto, consisted of five Jonin.

The Cloud Village's team, led by Tai, consisted of five Jonin.

The Kirigakure team, led by Yagura Karatachi, consisted of five Jonin.

The Sand Village team, led by Maki, consisted of five Jonin.

There were also ninjas from various ninja villages and ninjas recruited from all over the place. Among them, the black robes of Akatsuki members made Yagura Karatachi from Kirigakure's eyes turn red, and he almost couldn't help but want to make a move.

At this moment, Huang Tu noticed that there were two bounty hunters among the people sent by Kirigakure, and couldn't help but twitch his lips: "What's going on with Kirigakure? Didn't we agree that each village would send six Jonin?"

"Am I not enough?" Yagura Karatachi removed the mask of the Kirigakure Anbu, instantly shocking everyone present.

"The Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi!"

"I didn't expect him to still be alive?! I heard not long ago that Kirigakure had produced a Fifth Mizukage. I thought the Fourth Mizukage was killed by the Fifth Mizukage and only barely managed to take the throne."

"It seems that Kirigakure is indeed still very mysterious!"

Yagura Karatachi looked at the man wearing a black robe and an orange mask: "It's you, isn't it? The Uchiha from back then."

Obito Uchiha, now wearing an orange vortex mask, paused for a moment, then scratched his head: "Huh? Do I know you?"

The three people beside him, who were wearing straw hats and trying to hide their identities, couldn't help but twitch their lips. In the end, Kakuzu and Hidan couldn't help but look at Hanzo, the demigod who once ruled Amegakure.
