Chapter 916: True Bidirectional Rush!
Chapter 916: True Bidirectional Rush!
A castle!
Located over a hundred kilometers outside the capital of the Iron Country, it was brought into use for the Five Kage Summit.
Why not negotiate in the capital of the Iron Country?
No way!
The destructive power of Shadow-level combatants is terrifying.
Moreover, the ninja world has entered the 'Ultra Shadow' era, where their power can devastate the heavens and earth.
Sanzen was deeply concerned. If things turned sour and a fight broke out, the negotiation site would undoubtedly be destroyed.
It would be a disaster if it happened within the city.
Therefore, it was only natural that the summit wouldn't be held within the city, at most, it would be a temporary reception area.
Even during the reception, they tried to avoid direct encounters as much as possible.
Yekura and A Mei insisted on being together; otherwise, Sanzen wouldn't have arranged for them to room together.
Shadow-level combatants! In the ninja world, they are like dangerous nuclear bombs, and they can be used consecutively.
Now, it's not just one nuclear bomb, but one that could detonate at any moment. Even if Sanzen's brain was waterlogged, he would never dare to hold the summit within the city.
Over a hundred kilometers!
For an ordinary person, it would take a day or two to travel, but only a few hours if they used a sky vessel.
For a ninja, it would only take around an hour.
At this moment, Touhei disguised himself, donned a Mist Village headband, and followed behind A Mei, quickly arriving at the negotiation castle.
The place was packed with people.
Delegation after delegation, each with their own agenda, surrounded the castle.
They didn't enter, not because they didn't want to, but because of the samurai stationed everywhere, long swords in hand.
Heavy security!
These samurai were no pushovers in combat; ordinary ninjas couldn't hope to gain any advantage against them.
Of course, some people were naturally exempt from this.
For example, several figures hidden entirely within cloaks.
They stood atop the castle, and the surrounding samurai, who should have been keeping watch, seemed to not notice them at all, their red-tinged gazes scanning the area.
Genjutsu!
These samurai had fallen under genjutsu.
Ordinary genjutsu wouldn't easily affect these well-trained samurai.
But against Sharingan genjutsu, it was hard not to be affected.
Among the four figures in black cloaks, one lifted its head, its blood-red eyes scrutinizing a team below that was parting the crowd and entering the castle, surrounded by samurai.
Sasuke!
He had sneaked into the summit location ahead of time.
And by his side, naturally, was that guy Danzo.'
But he wasn't alone.
Next to him was a Root Division ninja from the Yamanaka Clan.
Root!
As Danzo's base, even though he was driven out of Konoha and Root was disbanded, it didn't mean he no longer had this power.
The Root Division, reorganized by Kusagakure Konoe, was actually infiltrated by Danzo.
So, he was living quite comfortably.
Not only did he find a place to stay and a base, but he also gained a force.
Now, this Yamanaka Clan Root Division Jounin was brought by Danzo.
In Danzo's mind, everything from Konoha was his, the future Hokage's possessions, so he used them without hesitation.
The other person by Sasuke's side was naturally Chougo.
"Let's go!"
After seeing all the participating Kage arrive, Sasuke spoke coldly and led the way into the castle's palace.
Soon, they would infiltrate the Five Kage Summit and declare war.
After completing this task, they would be free to act.
At that time, it would also be time to settle scores with Danzo.
With the power of the Sharingan, Sasuke felt like 'the sky was clear, the rain had stopped, and he had succeeded.'
"Damn Uchiha brat!"
In Danzo's eyes, as he watched Sasuke's back, there was a greedy and cold light flashing.
How could he not sense that Sasuke had already activated the Sharingan?
And he yearned for the power of the Sharingan.
He had once tried to take it from Itachi, but only managed to get one eye, which was immediately snatched away.
Now, a pair of Sharingan eyes was right by his side; how could he not be tempted?
Even for this mission, he had made extensive preparations, all aimed at dealing with Sasuke and acquiring the Sharingan.
In a sense, the two of them were 'mutually attracted' by this declaration of war.
They both wished the other dead! So, given the chance, they wouldn't let it slip by.
Both were well aware that this mission was also an opportunity to settle their grievances.
However, the prerequisite was to complete the declaration of war mission first; otherwise, they would have to face the consequences of failure.
The book in his hand was the uncensored version!
And below, at the castle entrance!
"What's wrong?"
Homura maintained her composure, but quietly questioned the disguised Tomihira, who was pretending to be her bodyguard.
As a 'Root Division' insider, she was well aware of Tomihira's unusual behavior.
"It's nothing, just a few little mice. They won't affect us as long as we keep up appearances!"
Tomihira didn't elaborate.
He wasn't one to blab about his plans within Akatsuki.
But he wanted Homura to understand his intentions. Otherwise, he truly feared that during the upcoming conflict, she would unleash her full power, which would be like hitting his own hand.
"Is that so?"
Homura, with her high IQ, instantly understood. Someone had sneaked into the venue, but it wasn't related to them and might even be beneficial. As long as they weren't exposed, it would be fine.
The slowest to arrive was the team representing the Mist Hidden Village, including Kusagakure Konoe.
The two had met yesterday under the pretext of 'consultation'. Normally, they were enemies, so it was natural they wouldn't arrive together.
Soon, the group reached the dimly lit hall.
In the center of the hall, where the light converged, there was a long 'U'-shaped table. Five banners with the characters 'Fire, Earth, Wind, Lightning, and Water' were distributed around the five chairs behind the table.
At the opening of the 'U'-shaped table, a small table was placed, with a banner reading 'Servant' behind it. Iron Country's General Sanzen sat there, accompanied by several samurai carrying swords.
The host!
Today, Sanzen played the role of the host.
Apparently, this was the venue for the meeting.
The setup wasn't overly flashy, just simple and direct.
At that moment, four of the five chairs at the 'U'-shaped table were occupied, except for the one behind the 'Water' banner.
The four Kage!
And behind each Kage, two Shadow Guard Team members stood.
Tomihira also stood with Haku in the shadow behind Homura.
At the same time, his gaze swept over the bodies of Jiraiya, A, and Great Tree, confirming something through his perception.
Unequal strength!
He had clashed with them before and confirmed their strength couldn't have grown to this extent.
Regardless of Great Tree or the Fourth Raikage, A, their strength was somewhat beyond his expectations.
It could only be said that after Tomihira had elevated the power level in the ninja world, these Kage had started to crazily pursue strength, and indeed, they had made significant gains.
If all were Kage-level powerhouses, and after a balance was formed, naturally, the Kage wouldn't take risks to pursue strength.
But with Tomihira, this catfish, directly making the Kage of various villages understand that their previous strength was insufficient to protect their villages.
After exhausting their village's resources and going crazy, the three Kage had all made tremendous improvements.
Regardless of Great Tree or A, they all belonged to the level that could fight against the powerhouses guarding the super-Kage.
Don't think this improvement is insignificant.
You should know that before Tomihira demonstrated his strength, the strength of the two had remained unchanged for many years.
It could only be said that after someone stimulated them, it ignited their pursuit of strength.
Jiraiya gave Tomihira a subtle sense of threat.
Super-Kage!
As long as one was in Sage Mode, they were a super-Kage, even without the Three-Tails Mode.
It must be said that to become a Kage, one's talent and heart are beyond reproach... Even Danzo is no exception (Danzo: Are you going to expose me too?).
After confirming the strength of the three, Tomihira's gaze shifted to the escorts they had brought.
