Chapter 1042: Konoha's Powerful Negotiation Team
Chapter 1042: Konoha's Powerful Negotiation Team
It is common knowledge that Naruto is a fool when it comes to emotions, and at this moment, he is completely unaware that Kushina is on the verge of fury.
Having spoken his mind, Yakaze decides to help Naruto to the end, maintaining a serious expression as he addresses Kushina, "I, Yakaze, have the strength and the looks. Although my behavior occasionally goes off the rails, there are countless female ninjas in Konoha who are interested in me."
"From the first time I saw you, I felt a sense of familiarity, and I also believed that you two were destined for each other."
Before Naruto could finish his sentence, Kushina, in a state of rage, had already dragged him away.
Before leaving, Kushina also took the opportunity to request leave from Tsunade, stating that she had some personal matters to attend to.
Naruto initially wanted to struggle, but he was quickly bound by sealing chains, forming a braided dumpling, and pulled away from the Hokage's office by his collar.
During this, Naruto did not fail to glance at Yakaze and Jiraiya with pleading eyes, but unfortunately, both Yakaze and Jiraiya responded with expressions of helplessness.
"Kushina must be exhausted, dealing with such a child and husband."
Regarding Kushina's departure, Tsunade not only did not reprimand her but also expressed sympathy.
After a few coughs, she glanced at Minato, who seemed disheartened and questioning his life choices, and said, "Let's get down to business.
We've called you here primarily because of the Akatsuki and the Five Kage Summit."
"Three years ago, we intended to convene the Five Kage Summit, uniting the forces of other hidden villages to suppress and eradicate the Akatsuki's power.
But due to the mutual suspicions among the major hidden villages, didn't this summit fail before it even began?
However, this proposal has been revived recently, with the Cloud Village taking the lead again. They propose holding the Five Kage talks in the Land of Iron, with the most prestigious samurai, Shipu, from the Land of Iron, acting as the host."
The audience was not surprised by the sudden desire of other hidden villages to hold the Five Kage talks.
Over three years, Konoha has been recuperating and preparing extensively for the upcoming war.
Both the Masked Man and Black Zetsu are aware that they must not provoke Konoha, which boasts numerous powerful fighters, until the time is absolutely ripe.
As a result, the other hidden villages have begun to suffer. Mist Village's Sanbi was captured, but Cloud and Stone Villages' Jinchuriki were also taken captive, and the Sand Village's Kazekage nearly died.
Currently, aside from Konoha's Sanbi and Kyuubi, almost all the Tailed Beasts have fallen into the hands of the Akatsuki.
While the Akatsuki has been stealing from everyone, Konoha has remained unaffected, causing the other hidden villages to feel a sense of imbalance.
Previously, they maintained an indifferent attitude towards the Akatsuki because they believed that the Akatsuki was targeting Konoha and had nothing to do with them.
As long-time rivals, they secretly wished for Konoha's weakening.
But the situation has changed; the Akatsuki, realizing Konoha's resilience, has turned its attention to their villages instead.
Currently, aside from Konoha's Tailed Beasts, all the others have been captured by the Akatsuki. If another Ninja World War breaks out, the overall power disparity will be immediately apparent!
Tsunade is not one to hold grudges, and she is also aware of the dangers posed by Uchiha Madara and the Masked Man. Therefore, she did not refuse this call for the Five Kage talks.
Due to the mutual suspicions among the major hidden villages, the location for this Five Kage Summit was chosen to be the neutral Iron Country.
Furthermore, each Kage attending the summit could only bring a maximum of two escorts alongside themselves.
Tsunade invited Yakaze to accompany her to the summit, intending for him to join her.
In addition to Yakaze, Tsunade planned to bring along Minato as her other escort.
Tsunade anticipated that this summit wouldn't be peaceful, but with her two formidable escorts, Yakaze and Minato, she expressed complete composure.
After the proposal for the Five Kage Summit gained the agreement of the major hidden villages, each village's Kage set out from their respective villages and simultaneously headed towards the summit's location in Iron Country.
On their way to Iron Country, Yakaze's group made a detour to Amegakure and picked up Kakashi and Xiao Nan, making them the last team to arrive at the summit venue.
However, when Yakaze's group entered the venue, the other four major villages that had arrived earlier were all taken aback by their team's lineup.
Tsunade, leading the way with her commanding presence, fully affirmed her reputation as the "Ninja World's First Milk" with her imposing figure at the forefront.
The two figures behind her were equally hard to ignore: Yakaze, with a dejected expression, and Minato, always wearing a gentle smile.
Minato, the Fourth Hokage of Konoha, was renowned throughout the Ninja World as the "Yellow Flash." When the Fourth Raikage, Raikage, saw Minato, his body involuntarily erupted with lightning, and he instantly stood at attention.
The Fourth Hokage had passed away over a decade ago, which wasn't a secret in the Ninja World. But no one expected to see him alive and well here.
Aside from the Yellow Flash, Senju Yakaze was also a notable figure. As a ninja from the same era as the Fourth Hokage, Yakaze was previously low-key, and while he had some reputation in the Ninja World, it didn't compare to the Yellow Flash's fame.
However, in the past few years, Yakaze's achievements were remarkable. He had defeated several previous Hokages of Konoha and, together with the Yellow Flash, suppressed the entire Akatsuki organization.
In terms of combat strength, the other villages had a configuration of one Kage and two Jonin.
In contrast, Konoha had the strength of three Kages! Adding the male and female Rain ninjas, if Konoha were to turn hostile here, their five-person team could even rival the other four major villages.
After all, compared to Yakaze and Minato, the Fifth Kazekage, who seemed a bit inexperienced, and the Fifth Mizukage, who wasn't well-known in the Ninja World, it wasn't certain that they could win against Yakaze and the Yellow Flash, even though they were the leaders of their villages.
"The Fifth Hokage, you're quite late compared to the agreed-upon time."
As the initiator of this Five Kage Summit, Raikage felt he couldn't let Konoha's momentum overwhelm him. Otherwise, during the subsequent summit, he wouldn't be able to maintain the dominant position and negotiate for more benefits for his village. So, he took the initiative to speak up.
However, Tsunade wasn't bothered by Raikage's challenge. Instead, she folded her arms and said, "If we're talking about who waited the longest, it should be me, right?
Don't forget that I've been waiting for this Five Kage Summit for three years now.
I just didn't expect you to initiate it."
