dog in ninja world

While Yukimura is slowly improving his strength and carefully planning his future life trajectory, at this moment, in another place in Konoha Village...

Snap!

Tsunade took long strides, walked through the corridor, rushed into the Hokage's office like a gust of wind, and threw a large pile of documents on Sarutobi Hiruzen's desk.

"This is today's report."

After saying that, she sat down on the chair next to her, picked up the water glass and took a deep sip of water. Then she breathed a sigh of relief and then turned her eyes back to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"It's no problem, old man."

"Yes." Sarutobi Hiruzen stretched out his hand, pulled out a copy from the top of the document, opened it and looked at it, nodding slightly as he read it.

"Thank you, Tsunade."

After about half a minute, Hiruzen Sarutobi put the documents away again and put them in the drawer. He raised his head with a satisfied smile on his face.

Since Tsunade finally overcame her anemia three months ago, Konoha has begun to prepare for the handover of the Hokage. However, the resignation of the old Hokage and the appointment of the new Hokage are not that easy, and it will take a long time.

After all, this is the taking over of a village leader, not playing house. In order to ensure that the new Hokage can adapt to Hokage's work immediately after taking office, the new Hokage needs to learn from the old Hokage for a period of time.

So in the past three months, Tsunade has been learning to handle government affairs with Sarutobi Hiruzen and gradually taking over the secret affairs of Konoha Village. She is a former Sannin and has also served in the war.

The commander who is in charge of his own job is not particularly new in government affairs. In just a few months, he has basically fully grasped the operation of the entire Konoha Village.

"In this way, we can leave with peace of mind."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was very happy. Now that Tsunade could handle government affairs alone, he could start his next plan.

The content of the plan is to gather the forces in the ninja world to deal with Akatsuki without revealing too much information.

In fact, from a few months ago, when he learned the news that the Fifth Mizukage came to power, Sarutobi Hiruzen had been planning to hold a meeting of the Five Kages, with two main purposes.

The first purpose is to determine Obito's life and death situation. In the entire Akatsuki organization, there are three most important figures, Nagato who possesses the Samsara Eye, Obito who is responsible for the specific implementation of the plan, and Black Zetsu who hides behind the scenes.

Among them, Nagato's real body has been hiding in the base camp of Yu Ninja Village for many years, and is guarded by Xiaonan. He rarely goes out. Even if he goes out, it is led by the Six Paths clones. The real body will not show up at all. It is difficult for him to combine powerful strength and concealment.

To deal with it, even if you have enough intelligence, you want to deal with Nagato Kako

The Southern Combination will have to dispatch at least three combatants who are equal to the Hokage, and if there is a real fight, the possibility of causing casualties is quite high. Therefore, before making sufficient preparations, the top management of Konoha Village unanimously believes that they cannot rush to fight against them.

Rain Ninja Village takes action, otherwise it may lead to the same situation as Danzo's.

Not to mention Black Zetsu, the younger brother of Sage of Six Paths, except for his identity, his abilities are basically a mystery. Even Yukimura doesn't know what kind of tricks he has, but he can hide it from Otsutsuki Hagoromo and Otsutsuki Hamura's.

With his eyes, he knew that Hei Jue was at least very good at concealment. For such a conspirator who secretly instigated hundreds of thousands of years of war between Indra and Asura, no amount of precaution could be taken.

Fortunately, he will not take action officially in order to hide his identity. He has not been exposed for thousands of years, and he will not expose himself easily because of a small fluctuation. Therefore, it is naturally impossible for Sarutobi Hiruzen to do so without being sure.

He just casually alerted the enemy. To be on the safe side, he could only let the culprit go and let him think that his plan was going smoothly.

After excluding the two important people, only Obito is left. Among these three, Obito is difficult to deal with. With his divine power, he can be said to be full of points in dodge, but he

It also belongs to a slightly more technical type. In terms of attack, it is not comprehensive and does not have very strong offensive ninjutsu. As long as you know the characteristics of his ninjutsu, although you may not necessarily win, it is still relatively easy to save your life.

In addition, Obito is also the only person who has been exposed so far. In addition to his true identity being kept secret, he is not afraid of arousing Black Zetsu's suspicion by carrying out some targeted actions. Moreover, among the three of them, he is the only one whose life and death are now a mystery. If you want to

To make accurate plans for the future situation, it is naturally necessary to have Obito's information.

Therefore, Konoha must learn the whole story of Mizukage's change from Kirigakure for further analysis and processing.

In addition, the second purpose of convening the Five Shadows Conference is of course to gather strength.

Nowadays, the relationship between the five major ninja countries is actually very chaotic.

Because of the three ninja wars, there have been decades of fighting and fighting between countries and between ninjas. During this period, countless hatreds and deaths were born.

Konoha and Kumogakure, Konoha and Iwagakure, Konoha and Kirigakure, Konoha and Sandgakure, Iwagakure and Kumogakure, Kirigakure and Iwagakure, Kirigakure and Sandgakure... There are interests between various ninja villages.

Driven by their ambitions, they fought for many years, resulting in heavy casualties and considerable grievances against each other. There were intrigues between countries and conflicts between people.

Under such circumstances, it would be difficult to form a united ninja coalition to fight against the Akatsuki like in the original work.

Because unlike the original work, without enough pressure and evidence, the other four shadows would never trust Konoha, which was once an enemy. Even if they were barely organized, there would definitely be all kinds of intrigues and intrigues.

Therefore, it is impossible for Hiruzen Sarutobi to gather everyone together to deal with Akatsuki like in the original work. That would be unrealistic.

However, he can first inform all parties of Obito's existence, so that the Four Shadows in other countries will know that there is such a mysterious figure who is coveting the tailed beasts in each village.

Tailed beasts and jinchuuriki are the ultimate weapons in the ninja village. If they know that such a person exists, even if Konoha doesn't tell them, the other four shadows will try their best to provide proper protection for jinchuuriki, and at the same time, they can also block some Akatsuki.

Work process.

This is the purpose of the Five Shadows meeting. For this reason, Sarutobi Hiruzen had already sent invitation letters to the other four shadows a week ago. Of course, for the sake of fairness, the location of the Five Shadows meeting cannot be arranged in

Among the five major countries, it also requested the Iron Kingdom to act as a neutral country as before and undertake the organization and reception of the Five Shadows Talks.

In this regard, the Iron Kingdom is relatively easy to talk to. Holding the Five Kage Talks is also a way to show the Iron Kingdom's national strength and status. After a short period of thinking, they almost immediately agreed to Sarutobi Hiruzen's request, but several other

It's different in big countries.

In the original work, the reason why the Five Shadows Conference requested by the Raikage was successfully held immediately was because Akatsuki's act of capturing the tailed beasts at that time also threatened the collective interests of the five major countries. Now, although Akatsuki's plan has not changed, this

On the timeline, only Konoha and Kirigakure are threatened. It is not even known whether Kirigakure knows that their fourth Mizukage is being controlled by others.

Under such circumstances, it is an uncertain proposition whether the other three major powers will watch from the other side or empathize with the situation.

However, something that was somewhat beyond Sarutobi Hiruzen's expectation was that, despite some slight remarks at the beginning, after some hesitation and discussion, within three days, Konoha Village continued to receive confirmation letters from various countries.

, agreed to attend the Five Shadows Talks to be held in half a month.

"It seems that the Tsuchikage, Kazekage and Raikage also have their own ideas."

Looking at the letter in his hand, Sarutobi Hiruzen murmured.

"The Raikage's thoughts are easier to guess."

Jiraiya said that among the five Kages, the Raikage has the biggest temper and a very reckless personality. He likes to go straight when doing things and does not make many detours. The castle is not as deep as the other Kages. Although he is ambitious, he is the easiest to see through.

.

"Maybe it's because of the Eight-Tails."

Tsunade nodded and took over the conversation.

Rabbi Kiri, the Eight-Tailed Jinchuuriki, is the younger brother of the Fourth Raikage. Although he is not a real brother, he is closer than a real brother.

Among all the jinchūriki and shadows, they have the best relationship, so after knowing that someone has taken action against the Nine-Tails, it is normal for the Raikage to worry about the Eight-Tails. Therefore, the purpose of Raikage's participation in the meeting should be

I just want to get some information about the masked man from Konoha.

As for the Kazekage, it was probably because of the relationship between the allies. Although Konoha and Sunagakure fought a Konoha collapse war in the original timeline, that was five years later. The relationship between the two has not broken down at this stage. Since

They are allies. As long as they do not pose a threat to themselves, Sunagakure will not openly oppose the proposal of Big Brother Konoha for the time being.

Of course, Nara Shikaku also pointed out that Sunagakure may use this as a basis to request part of the material assistance afterwards.

"That makes sense."

Sarutobi Hiruzen thought for a while and expressed that he agreed with Nara Shikaku. It is well known that Sunagakure's economy has been poor in recent years. Almost all financial resources have to be provided by the Fourth Kazekage alone (Kamihao Rasa)

, but the Country of Wind is vast and sparsely populated, and there is not much land that can be used. In addition, the environment is harsh.

, even the basic survival resources are very few. Even if you have enough money, you may not be able to buy enough materials, so you need to import resources from the outside world. The Fire Country is vast and rich in resources, with a large number of mountains, plains and flowing water.

, what the Kingdom of Wind lacks is nothing to the Kingdom of Fire.

Therefore, the reason why the Fourth Kazekage was so active was probably because he wanted to obtain some things from the Land of Fire afterwards.

Sarutobi Hiruzen does not object to this, because he himself plans to read the original version of Sunagakure through some channels. On the one hand, it is to prevent Sunagakure from jumping over the wall and attacking Konoha like the original work, and on the other hand, it is also a kind of emotional investment.

, the future enemies are Black Zetsu and Otsutsuki Kaguya, and Sunagakure's power will definitely be used by then. Giving Sunagakure some help at this time is not considered as a favor to the enemy.

On the Tsuchikage side...

"Ohnoki is an old fox, no one can guess his thoughts."

Koharu said as he went to bed, the third Tsuchikage Onoki was an old man of the same era as Sarutobi Hiruzen, a scheming old antique. When he was young, he had met the first Hokage Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara. He was a very foresighted person. There was no such thing as

There is enough profit to not take action easily.

The Iwa Ninja under his leadership are equally ambitious and unusually aggressive, and are very good at finding opportunities to sneak up on others when they are not paying attention.

In the previous ninja battles, the Iwa ninja rarely lost except for being defeated by Namikaze Minato a few times, which also shows the superiority of Onoki's leadership.

"I suspect that the Tsuchikage may take this opportunity to attack several other villages."

Tsunade thought for a while and came up with an idea.

"You mean to raid the ninja village while the other four Kage are not around?"

Jiraiya asked, is this unlikely?

"It's not necessarily an attack." Tsunade shook her head. Attacking other villages is taboo during the Five Shadows Conference. If such a thing really happens, the Earth Country will definitely suffer violent retaliation. Unless Onoki is crazy, otherwise

It was impossible to do this. Although the Iwa ninja was not weak, it was impossible for him to withstand the siege of several villages at the same time.

"However, intelligence, resources, weapons, ninjutsu and even blood stains may become their targets." Tsunade said solemnly. It is impossible for the Iwa ninja to launch a large-scale attack, but it does not mean that they will not make other small moves and be sneaky.

If they do something dirty and steal something, as long as their identity is not exposed, other villages can't do anything to them.

"That makes sense."

Sarutobi Hiruzen pondered for a moment, and had to say that based on his understanding of Onoki, he was the person who would do such a thing.

"So, for this time of the Five Kage Conference, Tsunade and Jiraiya will stay in the village."

He ordered that the village must retain three Hokage-level combat capabilities at all times, not only to prevent the other four countries, but also to prevent Akatsuki from taking advantage of this opportunity.

"I'll just take Shikaku and Fugaku."

The Five Shadows Talks have always been held in the form of a peaceful meeting. Although there is intrigue among the shadows, no matter how big the conflict between the two parties is, they try their best not to take action during the Five Shadows Talks. This is not just a kind of

A habit is also a kind of willingness to pursue peace that has been passed down from the first Five Shadows Conference.

With such symbolic meaning, at least during the Five Shadows Conference, the Five Great Shadows will not take action against the participating Shadows, otherwise it would be a taboo.

Therefore, Sarutobi Hiruzen doesn't need to bring many masters with him, it is enough to have Uchiha Fugaku and Tanaka Koharu accompanying him.

"knew."

Tsunade and Jiraiya nodded together.

"Then, let's start preparing!"

With this order from Sarutobi Hiruzen, in early Konoha 56, the fourth Five Kage Talks slowly began.

Finally, Akatsuki, the mysterious organization that had been hidden for many years in the original work, unveiled its mysterious veil several years in advance.
