Chapter 552 Learning

Hidden Leaf Village.

Hokage Building, conference room on the third floor.

The Fourth Hokage, Namikaze Minato, and several high-level officials of Konoha were having a small meeting in the office.

Faced with the tragic ending of his disciple's death, his mentor's death in battle, and his wife's death, Namikaze Minato has become taciturn in the past few days, and he no longer has the warm and sunny feeling of closeness he had before.

If his son Namikaze Naruto hadn't been sent to the shelter beneath Konoha Hospital with a flying thunder god to save his life during the battle, Namikaze Minato might have gone crazy!

Even so, these days, some people with keen senses always feel a chill running down their spines even when they are close to him.

This is the instinctive reaction that humans have when encountering a crisis.

This is enough to show how strong the murderous intention is in Namikaze Minato's heart.

However, since Katsuyuki's status as the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki is highly confidential in Konoha Village, the other major ninja villages do not yet know about the death of the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki and the fact that Konoha has now lost the Nine-Tails. .

Otherwise, without the Nine-Tails as a big killer, Konoha's status in the hearts of other ninja villages will drop to another level.

"I have already received responses from several other Kage. Surprisingly, those few have straightforwardly agreed to my invitation and that of the Raikage, saying that they will bring people to participate in this Five Kage Conference."

Namikaze Minato said expressionlessly. He was obviously talking about a serious topic related to Konoha's situation, but his tone was as calm as if he was talking about something completely insignificant.

After a slight pause, he still kept his gaze lowered and not looking at anyone, and then continued.

"The Five Shadows Conference will be held the day after tomorrow, and the location will be in the Kingdom of Iron. I have already informed Admiral Mifune about this in advance. I will just go there by myself then. Several advisors, as well as Tsunade-senpai, please stay here. Just stay in the village..."

Hearing this, several people in the office frowned slightly. Then they looked at each other and wanted to speak to dissuade them, but they didn't know how to talk to Namikaze Minato in his current state.

But his plain words were suddenly interrupted by Shimura Danzo, who was sitting at the head of the desk on the left side.

This older generation Shimura clan ninja who already had white hair on his head cast a dissatisfied look at Namikaze Minato.

"No! I don't agree with the last point! As Hokage, your safety is on the one hand, and Konoha's face is on the other. This time, Yondaime, you go to the Land of Iron to attend the Five Kage Conference, and you must bring a bodyguard with you!"

Hearing Shimura Danzo's slightly fierce words, everyone present felt their hearts skip a beat, and then cast worried glances at Namikaze Minato.

The Fourth Hokage had to endure the huge pain in his heart before continuing to work. Endless negative emotions had already accumulated in his heart, and the extreme grief was suppressed in his heart, which then turned into a monstrous murderous intention towards Tang Ninja Village and Shangguan Mo!

And the mysterious masked man who unsealed the Kyuubi from his wife's body has also been marked as certain to die by Namikaze Minato!

Unforgivable.

Blood debts must be repaid with blood!

Therefore, Minato Namikaze at this time is no longer the gentle and sunny Namikaze Minato he used to be.

He is like a fire barrel, and may explode if it encounters the slightest spark.

Not to mention Shimura Danzo’s fierce opposition.

But to the surprise of everyone in the conference room, Namikaze Minato just nodded indifferently.

"Okay, then just do what Danzo's advisor says."

Hearing this, Danzo Shimura's expression changed for the first time.

He opened his mouth slightly, as if he wanted to say something more, but in the end he said no more and sat in his seat with an ugly expression.

He tried to cheer Minato Namikaze up by irritating him.

As the war is approaching, this may be the battle that determines the survival of Konoha. As the Hokage, Namikaze Minato is the leader of the whole village. But now it gives people a feeling of mourning more than death, which will undoubtedly be extremely detrimental to the village.

But seeing Namikaze Minato's indifferent reaction, Shimura Danzo could only give up this plan.

He, who is experienced in the world, suddenly discovered an important issue before everyone present.

Namikaze Minato was not depressed or negative, but was very rational.

"It seems that the death of Jiraiya and his wife was a huge blow to the fourth generation, so much so that his personality changed drastically..."

Shimura Danzo murmured in his heart.

There was a brief silence in the conference room.

After a while, Tsunade, the first person on the right side of Namikaze Minato, spoke up.

"In this case, let's leave the guard work to Shisui and Hizashi, and then transfer two teams from the ANBU to protect your safety, Yondaime."

If nothing happens to Kakashi, Hizashi's escort job will undoubtedly belong to Kakashi.

As a guardian of the shadow, the selection criterion is not only strength.

It is more about showing other ninja villages and the next generation of the most talented ninjas in their own village.

This has been an unwritten rule since the first Five Kage Conference held by Senju Hashirama, the first Hokage.

Most of the second and third generation Kage were born under the protection of the previous Kage.

......

The land of rain.

Black Zetsu, named the successor of Uchiha Madara's will and actually the product of Kaguya's will, suddenly found Nagato, the leader of the Akatsuki organization.

At the top of a tall building, a black figure suddenly emerged from the floor.

Tiandao, who was wearing black robe, just glanced at it.

"What's wrong? What's the matter with coming here suddenly?"

he asked calmly.

As the intelligence chief of the Akatsuki organization, Hei Zetsu rarely appears in Yuyin Village.

"I'm here to tell you a piece of news."

Hei Jue's voice paused slightly, and without waiting for Tiandao to speak, it began to speak on its own, while secretly observing the subtle reactions of Tiandao's pair of reincarnation eyes.

"Jiraiya is dead!"

Tiandao was still expressionless, but Xiaonan, who was standing next to him, changed his expression and glanced at Tiandao, but she did not speak.

After a moment of silence, Tiandao spoke with some emotion.

"It's really ridiculous. Teacher Jiraiya, who has been pursuing peace all his life, ended up dying in the war..."

It was hard to tell whether his words were in remembrance or ridicule.

Maybe a bit of both.

With a sigh, Tiandao turned his head and looked at Hei Jue with indifferent eyes.

"You shouldn't be so boring, just to tell this irrelevant news. Tell me, what is the loss of Konoha?"

Hei Jue stared at Tiandao's reincarnation eyes, but he couldn't see any emotion from the ripples.

So I had no choice but to continue to inform him of the information.

"Under the attack of Shangguan Mo and his psychic beast, Konoha suffered heavy losses. No less than six thousand ninjas died in one night! Nearly half of the elite Jonin who faced Shangguan Mo's psychic beast were also killed. The psychic beasts were killed, including Jiraiya, Akimichi, Sarutobi, and the elite jounin of the Shimura clan, one of the three ninjas.

Moreover... the Sharingan that Obito gave to Kakashi was also poached by the mantis under Shangguan Mo when Bai Zetsu saw it with his own eyes! "

At this point, Hei Jue's yin-yang face was not only frightened, but also looked a little ugly.

Although Yunin Village was frightened by its strength, the loss of Obito's Mangekyō Sharingan was something that made it feel very angry.

He couldn't help complaining to Heaven.

"I have persuaded Obito many times to take back the kaleidoscope, but he just won't listen! Are you okay now? The kaleidoscope is in Shangguan Mo's hands, can you still get it back!?"

If there were a pair of kaleidoscopes, Obito would naturally be stronger than he is now, and he would be able to play more roles in the tailed beast sealing plan.

As for Shangguan Mo, he had forced Madara Uchiha to move his position and flee in confusion, but his current strength has undoubtedly become stronger.

Although it does not prevent Hei Jue, a descendant of Otsutsuki, from still looking down on Shangguan Mo, he still has the due fear.
