Chapter 399 Invitation to the Five Kage Conference

A few days later, the leaders of the major ninja villages received letters from the Fourth Raikage.

The first person to receive the letter written by the Fourth Raikage was the Third Tsuchikage Onoki. After receiving the letter from the Fourth Raikage, Onoki just glanced at it and his face gradually darkened.

In the letter, the Fourth Raikage mentioned the incident in which the Eight-Tailed Jinchuuriki was attacked by a masked man, and boldly speculated that the disappearance of the Four-Tailed and Five-Tailed Jinchuuriki in Iwagakure Village was also inseparable from the masked man.

After reading the letter, Ohnoki's expression became uncertain and he looked at the location of Kumogakure Village.

The Fourth Raikage guessed well. He had lost contact with the Four-Tailed Jinchuuriki and the Five-Tailed Jinchuuriki, and listed the two on the missing list, suspecting that they had been poisoned.

But he still had a fluke mentality, thinking that the four-tailed jinchuriki and the five-tailed jinchuriki deliberately hid them because they couldn't stand what he was doing.

The letter sent by the Fourth Raikage undoubtedly completely dispelled his remaining illusions.

Even Kirabi of Yunyin Village was attacked by a masked man. The weaker Khan and Lao Zi must have also encountered a masked man, and they didn't even have a chance to escape.

As for the Five Kage Conference proposed by the Fourth Raikage, Ohnoki cannot make a decision yet.

He didn't know if this was a test by the Fourth Raikage. If he really agreed to attend the Five Shadows Conference, he might be able to confirm the news about Lao Zi and Khan's disappearance...

At this moment, there was a knock on the door of Tsuchikage's office, and boys and girls walked in noisily.

Looking at the boy and girl in front of him, Onoki couldn't help but hold his forehead and said helplessly: "Kurotsuchi, Deidara, are you arguing again?"

Kurotsuchi folded his hands on his chest and said, "Grandpa, Deidara always bullies me. He always stuffs explosive clay into my clay dolls to scare me."

Hearing this, Onoki frowned: "Deidara, is what Kurotsuchi said true? Do you usually do nothing like this? Have you learned the dust escape I taught you?"

Dida Ramen said without changing his expression: "It's just a dust escape, I've learned it a long time ago."

After saying that, Deidara mobilized his chakra, and a miniature cube immediately appeared in his palm. This cube was the prototype of Dust Release.

After seeing the Dust Escape Cube, Ohnoki's expression softened a lot, but he didn't intend to let Deidara go just like that.

If he praised Deidara for this, the boy would definitely take advantage of it.

At this time, Deidara walked to the desk and opened the handwritten letter sent by the Fourth Raikage at any time. After scanning it, he said in great surprise:

"Old man, are everything stated in the letter true? Both Uncle Khan and Uncle Zi were taken away?"

Ohnoki did not intend to hide it from Deidara, nodded and said: "Both Khan and Lao Zi were taken away, but it is still unclear whether it was the masked man who did it."

Deidara snorted, and then said: "The two of them are still too careless. If I meet the masked man, I will definitely blow up the masked man to ashes."

Kurotsuchi on the side showed disdain and said: "The masked man has the ability of 'virtualization', your explosive clay will definitely be ineffective against him!"

Deidara choked for a moment, but still argued: "I don't believe that the blur is permanent. As long as my art doesn't stop, I will definitely be able to blow up the masked man."

"It's just talk, who wouldn't? My melt escape can still defeat the masked man."

The quarrel between Deidara and Kurotsuchi caused Onoki to break out in cold sweat. Facing the mysterious masked man, he had no intention of winning. It was unreasonable that these two brats were so confident.

"You two! Stop arguing!"

Onoki shouted at the two of them: "You don't really think you can defeat the masked man, do you? Your strength is far behind Lao Zi and Khan. If you encounter the masked man, you will just die."

Deidara was noncommittal to Onoki's warning and said casually:

"Okay, okay, I've said it many times before about the masked man's threat. That's not what I care about. When will you let me travel to Yuyin Village?"

"Don't even think about this. The white night in Yuyin Village is too dangerous. What if you fall in?"

Deidara picked up the letter written by the Fourth Raikage again, and then said:

"Then you should take me to the Five Shadows Conference. I have never seen such a big scene? In the operation to rescue Lao Zi and Khan, you will always need my fighting power, right?"

Deidara's words caused Onoki to fall into silence.

Before Deidara said this, Onoki still had some thoughts about not participating in the Five Shadows Conference, but if the other four ninja villages all participated in the Five Shadows Conference and were united because of the masked man.

Then Iwagakure Village, the only village that did not participate in the Five Shadows Conference, became the target of public criticism.

Today, everyone can work together to deal with the masked man who threatens the five great ninja villages and the tailed beasts, and tomorrow they can work together to deal with the unsociable Iwagakure Village.

After making the decision to participate in the Five Kage Conference, Onoki looked at Deidara and Kurotsuchi.

Kurotsuchi definitely wanted to accompany him to the Five Kage Conference, and he had already trained Kurotsuchi as the next Tsuchikage, but he was hesitant about taking Deidara with him.

If Deidara is brought along, Deidara's character will definitely cause him a lot of trouble.

But if Deidara is not taken with him, Deidara will also cause a lot of trouble. The lesser of two evils, it seems that he can only take Deidara on the road.

…

Compared to Ohnoki of Iwagakure, Sasori of Sand Village did not have too many thoughts after receiving the letter.

As a spy sent by Byakuya to Sand Village, the fifth Hokage of Sand Village, he will definitely attend the Five Kage Conference. It is just a matter of whether he will arrive early or late.

After making the decision to attend the Five Kage Conference, Scorpion of Red Sand quickly convened a high-level meeting to announce the matter.

Too many high-level officials of Sand Village are relatives of Scorpion of Red Sand, and the event of abolishing the unequal treaty for Sand Village has also made Scorpion gain great prestige.

This made the Sand Village almost a one-man show, and agreed to this matter without any objection.

The only thing that troubled Scorpion was whether to include Temari, Kankuro and Gaara's siblings in the shadow guards for his participation in the Five Kage Conference.

Although these three are the children of Rasa, they are loyal enough to him.

He is an eternal puppet body and no longer has the ability to give birth to offspring, but the position of Kazekage will be handed over to others sooner or later, and Temari, Kankuro and Gaara are the best candidates.

After thinking for a while, Scorpion of the Red Sand still hadn't made up his mind. He finally decided to wait for Bai Ye's order. Bai Ye would definitely intervene in such a grand event as the Five Kage Conference.

...

Inside the Kirigakure Building.

The Kirigakure Village Elders also received the letter from the Fourth Raikage. They read the letter, fell into a brief silence, and then looked at the master on the main seat.

After the Fourth Mizukage got rid of the control of the masked man, Kirigakure never elected a new Mizukage.

First, the Fourth Mizukage had not died yet, so it was inappropriate to elect a new Mizukage now. Second, Kirigakure was full of fear of the position of Mizukage because of the Third and Fourth Mizukage.

For Kirigakure ninjas, the position of Mizukage is no longer a glory, but a curse.

Before becoming Mizukage, the Third and Fourth Mizukage were full of vigor and fighting spirit, but after becoming Mizukage, they were controlled by mysterious ninjas and became puppets.

After weighing the pros and cons, the Jōnin of Kirigakure decided not to elect the Mizukage for the time being.

First, it can avoid the curse of the Mizukage, and second, the status of both parties is almost the same. Even if someone is really controlled by the masked man, they can find and stop it earlier.

Under the gaze of everyone, the master coughed and said:

"I didn't expect that the Eight-Tails of the Hidden Cloud Village was also attacked by the masked man. These descendants of Uchiha Madara are really thieves, but this is also a good thing for us. At least the Fourth Raikage realized the horror of the masked man and convened the Five Kage Conference to discuss the solution to this matter."

"Who do you think is better to attend the Five Kage Conference?"

"Of course it's Master Master."

Everyone said in unison that although the Kirigakure Village has established a group of elders, there are also differences among the elders. The master is undoubtedly the elder with the highest status and the most qualifications.

The master shook his head and said, "I am too old to go to the Five Kage Tournament. I can only select people from among you. Is there anyone who would like to recommend himself?"

After this, Mei Terumi and Zabuza raised their hands.

Both sides wanted to be the leading ninjas to participate in the Five Kage Tournament. After all, the ninjas who could participate in the Five Kage Tournament were almost the next Mizukage.

Seeing that it was Mei Terumi and Zabuza, the master was also a little hesitant.

He didn't know whether he should choose Mei Terumi or challenge Zabuza. Both of them were very strong and had considerable power within the village.

If the two sides fought each other, the Hidden Mist Village might fall into a new civil strife.

After a light sigh, the master said directly: "You two go to the Five Kage Conference together. If there is a major event that affects the future of the Hidden Mist Village, remember to discuss it carefully."

"Whoever performs well and can bring back the six-tailed fox, I will give up the position of the chief elder."

Until the end, the master did not choose a new Mizukage, but threw out the big pie of the chief elder, so that Mei Terumi and Zabuza could compete head-on.

After all, the Jinchūriki is the foundation of the ninja village. Whoever can bring back the Jinchūriki is a hero.

After hearing the master's promise, Zabuza and Mei Terumi looked at each other, and fighting spirit ignited in their eyes.

……

In the Hokage's office.

Tsunade, who had just taken office, received a letter from the fourth generation Raikage, and immediately called Jiraiya, Shisui and the advisory elders. The invitation to the Five Kage Conference was not a trivial matter, and everyone must discuss together to make a decision.

Soon, the Konoha executives gathered in the conference room.

After hearing that the Eight-Tails Killer Bee was attacked and the Fourth Raikage had issued an invitation to the Five Kage Conference, Jiraiya and the two advisors were slightly stunned and frowned.

Shisui also frowned. He was not aware of this matter and had not received any information in advance.

After circulating the letter from the Fourth Raikage, Tsunade asked frankly: "This is the entire content of the letter. How do you think Konoha should reply to Kumogakure?"

Utatane Koharu pondered for a while, and then said: "The invitation to the Five Kage Conference is likely a trap set by the Kumogakure Village. When Lord Tobirama was still alive, we once participated in a Five Kage Conference..."

At this point, Utatane Koharu said no more. Her meaning was already very clear.

Mito Kado En said:

"Koharu and I have different ideas. This time the Fourth Raikage convened the Five Kage Conference in the face of the Ninja World. He should not dare to plot a conspiracy, but this time the topic is to deal with the masked man and rescue the Jinchūriki. I think we should think about it again before making a decision."

"The masked man is the murderer of the fourth generation couple. We must bring him to justice."

"But while we still have the jinchuriki, it is a good thing for us that the masked man attacks the jinchuriki of other ninja villages. It can at least reduce the pressure from the four major ninja villages."

"And while they're busy dealing with the masked man, we can quickly recuperate."

After listening to Mito Kaden's opinion, Jiraiya couldn't help but frowned. He knew that the village was very weak now, but it was really a shame not to go to the Five Kage Conference and to leave the task of dealing with the masked man to the other ninja villages. A good thing?

The masked man is attacking the Eight-Tails now, but one day, he will attack Naruto again.

Thinking of this, Jiraiya couldn't help but said:

"Mr. Tensho, Master Mitomon, our Konoha is the number one ninja village and the first village to convene the Five Kage Conference. How can we give up participating in the Five Kage Conference? As for letting the others join forces to deal with the masked man, it is even more unreliable. , If they really join forces, won't the masked man deal with us directly? "

Hearing this, Koharu and Mito Kaden's expressions changed, and then they said: "We just stated the pros and cons, it is up to you to decide whether to participate in the Five Shadows Conference."

After listening to the conversation between Jiraiya and the consultant duo, Tsunade looked at Shisui aside and said, "Shisui, what's your suggestion?"

Shisui was stunned for a moment, then said: "Of course we are participating in the Five Shadows Conference. How could Konoha be absent from such an important occasion? We not only have to participate in the Five Shadows Conference, but we also have to take the initiative in the Five Shadows Conference."

"If you can become the leader of each major ninja village at the Five Kage Conference, Konoha will restore its glory to the time of the first generation of adults. Neither Nebe nor Uchiha can refuse such a scene."

Shisui's words made Tsunade, Jiraiya and others' blood boil, as if they had seen the Konoha of the past.

Yes, Shisui is right. Konoha will definitely participate in the Five Shadows Conference, but whether it can gain a dominant position is yet to be seen. Konoha is no longer the strongest ninja village.

After unanimously agreeing to participate in the Five Shadows Conference, you will be the candidate to participate in the Five Shadows Conference.

In addition to being the fifth Hokage, Tsunade needs to go to a neutral country, and she also needs to select a few people as the Shadow Guards.

Jiraiya was definitely a member of the Shadow Guard, but the others didn't know how to choose.

There are actually not many ninjas in the village who are qualified to participate in the Five Shadows Tournament.
