Chapter 403 Six Shadows Conference
After a few words that confused Kakashi, Bai Ye left the place.
Before leaving, Bai Ye looked at Naruto, and then at the sky covered by dark clouds. His eyes seemed to pass through all obstacles and locked onto the Six Paths Sage who was traveling at the junction of life and death.
When he sensed the chakra on Naruto just now, in addition to Naruto's own chakra and the Nine-Tails chakra, he also vaguely felt another breath, and this breath became more and more obvious as Naruto's strength increased.
This breath belongs to the second son of the Six Paths Sage, Otsutsuki Ashura.
As the second son of the Six Paths Sage and the grandson of Otsutsuki Kaguya, Ashura is different from other Otsutsuki. They did not use the wedge technology to save their own data in the form of chakra.
And providing chakra to future generations in the form of chakra reincarnation did not cause much impact.
Of course, this may also be because Ashura and Indra did not receive the complete inheritance of the Otsutsuki, which led to the only way to continue the struggle that had not ended that year.
However, although Ashura and Indra have been dead for thousands of years.
But the power they left behind is still considerable, enough to make the reincarnated person a figure of the current era, and the combined power can even give birth to the Samsara Eye.
Uchiha Madara is the best example.
Before the Battle of the Valley of the End, Uchiha Madara's limit was the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, but after obtaining the flesh and blood of Hashirama, Uchiha Madara possessed the power of Ashura and Indra at the same time, giving birth to the Samsara Eye.
But the strange thing is that I also have the power of Senju and Uchiha, and I can even use some Yin-Yang escape, why haven't I been able to give birth to the Samsara Eye?
Is it because the concentration of my blood is different, or I lack the two most critical chakras.
If I think of this problem, I may have to let Naruto and Sasuke stay together and carefully examine their bodies to figure everything out.
But if I really encounter the power of Ashura and Indra, will I meet the Six Paths Sage?
That might be a strong ninja who still has the ability to seal Kaguya a thousand years after his death. In terms of strength, he even surpassed many Otsutsuki in the Boruto era.
Retracting his gradually scattered thoughts, Bai Ye stopped thinking and entered the fortress.
The most urgent task is to use the power of the Five Kage Conference to establish a ninja alliance and make the Akatsuki organization the largest organization in the entire ninja world so as to get more system rewards.
Things in the ninja world can be done slowly. When they have enough strength, the Otsutsuki clan is just a higher-level bloodline family.
Not long after, Bai Ye saw Yahiko and Konan who were chatting with Jiraiya.
After patiently waiting for a while, Jiraiya left the place. Bai Ye walked to Yahiko and said with a chuckle: "Yahiko, what did Jiraiya talk to you just now? Were you discussing Nagato's affairs?"
Yahiko nodded, and then said: "Teacher Jiraiya misses Nagato a little. It's a pity that the teacher has no plan to visit the Hidden Rain Village, otherwise I would like to treat him well."
"Your identities have changed, so it's naturally difficult to get along like before."
After a pause, Bai Ye continued to ask: "Have you told Jiraiya about forming a ninja alliance and letting Konoha Ninja Village join us? Did he agree?"
Yahiko shook his head and said: "Teacher Jiraiya said that Konoha has no idea of forming an alliance. Even if a ninja alliance is formed, Konoha should be the leader, not Akatsuki and Hidden Rain Village."
Bai Ye touched his chin and said:
"It seems that Konoha has not realized its own weakness, but they will soon understand that the next ninja world will not allow the existence of ninja villages fighting alone."
Hearing this, Yahiko and Konan were a little helpless, but they also nodded.
If possible, they did not want to have a conflict with Jiraiya, let alone deceive Jiraiya, but the ninja world has been in chaos for too long, and a strong country must emerge.
…
As time went by, representatives from the major ninja villages arrived at the meeting place one after another, and were received by Admiral Mifune and sent to the guesthouse.
After a full night of rest, Bai Ye and others came to the fortress conference room.
The space in the conference room is large enough to accommodate the leaders and shadow guards of the six ninja villages. The Five Shadow Conference, which determines the future direction of the ninja world, will also be held here.
After all the ninja village leaders sat down, Admiral Mifune, the host, cleared his throat and said:
"Thank you for your trust in letting me host this meeting. I hope you can reach a consensus in this Five Kage Conference and resolve the crisis facing the ninja world."
After hearing what Admiral Mifune said, the Fifth Kazekage Scorpion of the Red Sand couldn't help but frowned:
"What is the Five Kage Conference? This Five Kage Conference is obviously participated by six ninja villages, it should be called the Six Kage Conference."
"Six Kage Conference?"
As soon as this was said, the others frowned. The Kazekage was obviously making trouble.
Although there are many leaders of small ninja villages in the ninja world who call themselves Kage, it is only a private title. In fact, only the leaders of the five major ninja villages are qualified to be Kage. This is not only a title issue, but also represents the status of the ninja village behind them.
From the perspective of strength, the leader of the Hidden Rain Village can indeed be called Kage.
But the Hidden Rain Village has never defeated the five major ninja villages on the front battlefield, and it is difficult to get the recognition and support of most ninjas in the ninja world.
Seeing this situation, Admiral Mifune, who was presiding over the meeting, sighed and looked at Yahiko and Byakuya.
Facing the gaze of Admiral Mifune, Yahiko slowly said:
"Compared to the seniors of the five major ninja villages, I am still young and not qualified to be called Kage. Lord Kazekage, please don't make fun of me. I came here for the peace of the ninja world, not to compete for the title of Kage."
Yahiko's words were very humble, but other people's eyes fell on Bai Ye.
Yahiko didn't have many records of his attacks, so it was impossible to judge his exact strength, but Bai Ye was different. This guy was the successor of Hanzo and had many records of confronting the five Kage head-on.
His strength and record were no less than that of Minato Namikaze more than ten years ago, and even stronger.
Seeing that Bai Ye did not react much, Scorpion of the Red Sand continued:
"What is important for a ninja village is not seniority, but strength. The Hidden Rain Village has strength comparable to the five major ninja villages, and should have joined the ranks of the five major ninja villages long ago. Moreover, the Jounin Bai Ye of your village has repeatedly repelled the masked man. His contribution is enough to make the Hidden Rain Village the sixth largest ninja village."
"Lord Kazekage..." Yahiko opened his mouth and said, "Maintaining regional stability and cracking down on masked men who hunt Jinchūriki is what the Hidden Rain Village should do. There is really no need..."
At this time, Zabuza stood up and said, "Maintaining regional stability is what a big ninja village should do. Your Hidden Rain Village has long been a big ninja village. There is no need to bear the name of an ordinary ninja village."
After a pause, Mei Terumi also said to Admiral Mifune: "Admiral Mifune, I think what Lord Kazekage said makes some sense. This meeting should indeed be called the Six Kage Conference, not the Five Kage Conference."
Mifune looked at Bai Ye, who was as steady as an old dog, and then looked at Scorpion, Mei Terumi and others.
At this time, he had already guessed that the Hidden Rain Village had contacted the Hidden Sand Village and the Hidden Mist Village in advance, and was waiting for the Five Kage Conference to force the Hidden Rain Village to become the sixth largest ninja village.
After a moment of silence, Admiral Mifune transferred the problem to others and slowly said:
"I also think it is inappropriate to call this meeting the Five Kage Conference. It is more normal to call it the Six Kage Conference. I wonder what Lord Hokage, Lord Tsuchikage and Lord Raikage think?"
"Konoha Ninja Village has no objection to this and agrees that this is the Six Kage Conference."
The Hidden Rain Village is Konoha's current partner, and the leader is Jiraiya's disciple. Tsunade really can't think of a reason to reject this proposal.
Moreover, the strength between the five major ninja villages has never been balanced.
In fact, the Hidden Sand Village and the Hidden Mist Village were not worthy of being mentioned in the same breath with Konoha, Kumogakure, and Iwagakure many years ago, but the strength of the two countries has surpassed most of the ninja villages, so they were not removed from the list.
Tsunade has no objection, and Ohnoki, as a troublemaker in the ninja world, naturally has no objection either.
He had fought Bai Ye in person and knew Bai Ye's strength. He was also the first leader of the five major ninja villages to have in-depth exchanges with the Akatsuki organization and knew the current industrial strength of the Hidden Rain Village.
The Hidden Rain Village may not be as populous as the Hidden Rock Village, but its overall quality is much stronger.
And apart from the fact that the theme of this meeting was to deal with the masked man, the emergence of a large country as a buffer zone between the Hidden Rock Village and the Hidden Cloud Village was also a good thing for the Hidden Rock Village.
"You should always give young people a chance. I don't object to the Six Kage Conference."
After seeing Tsunade and Ohnoki agree, the Fourth Raikage knew that his refusal would not change the facts. After looking at Bai Ye fiercely, he snorted and said:
"The Kage is not that good. I hope that the Hidden Rain Village will not be complacent because of the title of Kage."
Facing the Fourth Raikage's explosive speech, Bai Ye also responded without hesitation:
"Instead of caring about our Hidden Rain Village, Lord Raikage should focus on the Jinchūriki, so as not to be attacked by the masked man again."
Bai Ye's words were full of provocation, and every sentence made the Fourth Raikage very angry.
He propped himself on the table and said to Bai Ye: "Bai Ye, don't think you can do whatever you want just because you got lucky and repelled the masked man. You don't need to care about the affairs of the Hidden Cloud Village."
"If the Hidden Cloud Village can really handle it by itself, why hold this meeting?"
Bai Ye asked back without hesitation, making the Fourth Raikage angry, but speechless. Bai Ye was right. If the Hidden Cloud Village could really face the masked man alone, it would not hold this meeting.
At this time, Ohnoki on the side also began to ridicule: "Raikage boy, your temper is not as stable as your father's. You need to temper your temper more."
If Bai Ye's speech was just an attack on the Fourth Raikage, Ohnoki's speech was a naked mockery.
Who in the ninja world doesn't know that the Fourth Raikage's father, the Third Raikage, died in the siege of the Hidden Cloud Village.
The old guy Ohnoki not only killed the Third Raikage, but also used the Third Raikage to stimulate the Fourth Raikage in front of the Fourth Raikage.
"Tsuchikage meeting? Have you forgotten my father's killing of 8,000 ninjas?"
After forcing himself to calm down, the Fourth Raikage said to Ohnoki:
"Although I don't have my father's strength, I can take away 5,000 ninjas. After I die, there will be a deputy to become Raikage. The Hidden Rock Village seems to be lacking in training successors."
"Raikage boy!" After being caught in the sore spot, Ohnoki's face also looked ugly. He slowly flew into the air, as if he was ready to use Dust Release to teach the Fourth Raikage a lesson.
The Fourth Raikage had no intention of retreating, and a faint lightning flashed on his body.
That was the Lightning Release Armor that could only be used after entering the Lightning Release Chakra mode, which could withstand most attacks in the ninja world.
Seeing the atmosphere in the conference room becoming more and more solemn, Yahiko stood up and said:
"Tsuchikage-sama, Raikage-sama, I apologize for Bai Ye first. He is indeed not very good at speaking sometimes. Please forgive me, both adults."
When he said this, Yahiko emphasized his tone and said:
"However, both adults have forgotten that we are sitting here to deal with the masked man who hunts the tailed beasts and for the future peace of the ninja world."
"If there is an internal conflict between us, the only one who will be happy is the masked man organization."
As soon as these words came out, the other Kages nodded. Nodding, Jiraiya said to Tsunade proudly: "Tsunade, Yahiko is worthy of being my disciple. He is still maintaining peace between ninja villages at this time."
Tsunade glanced at Jiraiya, and then said:
"Since you are such a strong teacher, why didn't you come forward to stop the Tsuchikage and Raikage just now? Did you forget?"
Jiraiya scratched his head and said with a grin: "With Yahiko here, it's naturally not my turn to come forward. Everything is left to me. Why am I still teaching my disciples?"
Faced with Jiraiya's words, Tsunade was helpless.
But she also knew Jiraiya's character. If Yahiko was not present, Jiraiya would definitely come out to make peace. Jiraiya is also such a person.
Seeing this scene, Admiral Mifune, who was sitting not far away, secretly thought that his position as a peacemaker was taken away.
But it's better to have less trouble than more. In the past, he always became the one who persuaded the fight. Now it is also a good experience to observe from the perspective of a bystander.
Bai Ye also secretly admired Yahiko's ability. Yahiko's management of internal and foreign affairs over the years was not in vain. He actually eased the conflict that he had actively provoked.
After Yahiko spoke, Ohnoki and the Fourth Raikage's Shadow Guards also began to persuade their own shadows. After making great efforts, Ohnoki and the Fourth Raikage could only return to their seats reluctantly.
There was no way. They could quarrel with each other, but they couldn't really fight at the Five Kage Conference. If it got out, not only would the Five Kage Conference not be held in the future, but the two of them would also become a joke in the ninja world.
Seeing this scene, Yahiko stood up again and said:
"I'm very happy to see that Lord Tsuchikage and Lord Raikage have put aside their past grudges. However, time is very tight. Let's discuss the problem of the masked man, at least to exchange the current situation of the Jinchūriki."
