Chapter 498: Meeting of the Five Kage, Selection of the Hokage's Guard

Nagato's Rinnegan has the ability to control gravity and repulsion. His special method, Chibaku Tensei, can create a gravitational point, allowing huge objects to stay in the sky permanently. Suzumiya Musashi wants to use this power to build a gravity room for himself to practice.

After carefully listening to Suzumiya Musashi's opinion, Nagato thought about it and decided that this method was feasible.

Although certain talents in formation and architecture were needed, Suzumiya Musashi agreed that all the ninjas in the Anbu who were good at formation could be on standby, and his own attainments in sealing techniques were also top-notch.

After Nagato had almost recovered, Suzumiya Musashi chose a location, and this is how today's trip took place.

Having made the decision, the two of them, without further ado, began to work on creating the first controllable gravity room in the ninja world.

This is an extremely tedious task.

Renovation of building structure, selection of materials, estimation of load-bearing capacity, and construction of formation runes.

The extent of gravity, the design of the adjustable amplitude, and whether the design can actually be created all require exploration and practice. Even though Nagato possesses the Rinnegan, using its power is more like a human moving his hands and feet. While he can use it, understanding the detailed principles behind it is not easy. Fortunately, Suzumiya Musashi's requirements were modest. He did not covet the power of gravity and repulsion, but simply wanted a stable, physical gravity chamber that could support his training.

After all, this is a field that has never been done before, and there are many difficulties and problems that need to be slowly explored through trial and error.

Time passes especially quickly when you are busy.

One day, then two, time slipped by unnoticed. The construction of the gravity chamber encountered numerous difficulties and problems, but with the collaboration of the two and the professional ANBU ninja, they were all resolved one by one. During this collaborative effort, Nagato's eyes grew brighter, but his body grew weaker day by day.

The time of death has reached a point where even ordinary people can sense it.

Nagato noticed the change in Suzumiya Musashi's eyes when he looked at him, and he forced a smile and said, "Don't be sad for me."

"Before I die, I'm actually very happy to be able to do such an interesting thing with you."

"Keep trying, Musashi."

"I'm still waiting to see the new world you create."

"Come on, stop slacking off and get to work! The sooner you finish, the sooner you can practice in the gravity room."

Suzumiya Musashi was speechless and could only concentrate more on the construction of the gravity room.

Of course, this kind of investment is not always smooth sailing, and there will always be some individuals who will disturb him.

For example, Tsunade.

Tsunade, who had just violated Konoha's work regulations, seemed to have a big change in her mentality. In addition to being busy with her work as Hokage every day, she would come to find Suzumiya Musashi when she had time, under the pretext of checking her physical injuries or discussing Konoha's next development direction.

Feeling Nagato's teasing gaze, Suzumiya Musashi blushed and rejected him.

Healing?

My injury has healed a long time ago.

What's the direction of Konoha's development? You're the Hokage, so you decide. Do whatever you want, fight whoever you want, and come to me if you can't win.

The Five Kage Summit?

"Five Kage Summit?" Suzumiya Musashi stopped what he was doing and looked at Tsunade in surprise.

Tsunade, who had come to the Anbu construction base in person, nodded.

"Yes, the Five Kage Summit."

"Akatsuki..." She glanced at Nagato, and after finding that he was normal, she continued, "Akatsuki's actions are still continuing."

"I'm not sure why, but I can feel that the situation is becoming increasingly different."

"I need to discuss this with everyone. We can't just work on our own in the current situation."

Of course, Suzumiya Musashi knew the reason.

After Nagato left the stage, it was Obito who took over the Akatsuki organization.

Whether Nagato exists or not will not actually affect the subsequent pace of the Akatsuki organization.

Suzumiya Musashi looked at Nagato.

"So I say, your goal is fake."

"Because someone is taking advantage of your desire for peace. Even without you, the Akatsuki and those in the darkness will continue to move forward for their original goals."

Nagato sighed softly and lowered his head.

He originally thought that if he stayed in Konoha, the Akatsuki organization, which was leaderless, would stagnate or even disband.

But the current situation made him realize clearly that he was only the leader in name only.

The person who drives Akatsuki to follow his own will is the real leader.

"Do you need me to solve it?" Nagato asked.

Akatsuki's evil had its reasons, and he could deal with it.

"No thanks." Suzumiya Musashi refused: "I don't have many days to live, just enjoy the breeze in Konoha, watch the sunset, and work overtime for me."

"Leave the Akatsuki matters to me."

Nagato sighed again.

Tsunade continued, "The Five Kage Summit is a matter of great importance."

"The Kages of the five major ninja villages need helpers and guards."

"Musashi, I hope you can be by my side. I will feel much more at ease if you do that."

Suzumiya Musashi frowned, then he shook his head.

"No."

"The construction of the gravity chamber has reached a critical moment."

"I can't leave now."

Tsunade didn't expect Suzumiya Musashi to answer like this. She asked in confusion, "Is a gravity chamber more important than the Five Kage Summit?"

You know, the Five Kage Summit is the most significant meeting in the ninja world. The Five Kage's guards are all ninjas of at least the jonin rank. This is especially true for their personal guards. In special situations where the Kage is unable to intervene, the guards usually step in to resolve the situation.

Whether for safety or for the sake of the reputation of the great ninja village, a strong ninja is needed to play this role. The strength of Lei Tong and others is not enough.

In Tsunade's mind, there are only two people who are suitable for this position: Jiraiya and Suzumiya Musashi. Considering Jiraiya's habits, there is actually only one answer in her mind: Suzumiya Musashi.

I didn't expect the other party to disagree.

Suzumiya Musashi was stunned for a moment.

He looked straight at Tsunade and said confidently, "Of course!"

"How can the Five Kage Summit compare to the construction of a gravity chamber?"

The Five Kage Summit will continue regardless of whether he is there or not.

Besides, a dark circle under the eyes and a few old guys, what's there to see? In comparison, the gravity room is related to his next step of practice.

Nagato's death was approaching, and he didn't want to leave the work to him alone.

Tsunade? Angry.

"If you don't go, you won't go!"

"Ahhhh~" Suzumiya Musashi hurriedly called out to Tsunade who was turning around and leaving.

"I won't go, but I can assign you an assistant and a personal guard."

Tsunade turned around and asked suspiciously, "Who?"

Suzumiya Musashi: "Karin."

"Karin?" Tsunade raised her voice.

"Isn't she too young?"

Suzumiya Musashi: "Youth is a sign of talent."

"Believe me, Karin's strength is more than enough to be your personal bodyguard."
