Something had gone a little wrong.
Itachi Uchiha had wanted to hold a Five Kage Summit for the entire ninja world after his inauguration ceremony, but the gathering of the past Hokage had completely changed the flavor of it.
Due to Tobirama's strong request, and since Hiruzen also held the title of "Professor," a strange meeting was held in the Hokage's office in Konoha.
Future historians were unable to learn the content of this conference, but based on some of the changes during Itachi's future administration, they attributed it to the influence of this conference. They believed it to be a succession and sublimation of the Will of Fire.
A brand new Will of Fire was born at this conference:
When the flame burns fiercely, it will burn everything it can touch to ashes, turning them into the territory of the flame.
As for the truth…
It actually had nothing to do with the Will of Fire.
When Hiruzen Sarutobi was escorted to the Hokage's office by Izumi Uchiha's ANBU squad, he was still a little surprised. Had that unworthy grand-disciple recognized his mistake?
That little fellow, to be in charge of the entire Land of Fire, was still too young. It was normal for him to not know how to handle things…
Fine, since he was still alive, he would give him one more lesson!
After Hiruzen entered the Hokage's office, Kisame quietly walked out from within and closed the office door…
He didn't want to get involved in this sort of thing.
Hiruzen saw Hashirama, who was laughing and livening up the atmosphere in the office, at a glance. Then his gaze fell on the white-haired reanimated person in the Hokage's seat. "Lord First Hokage, Teacher, Minato… you all…"
He was truly frightened…
In an instant, he thought of the intelligence on his disciple…
Hiruzen's nerves instantly tensed. "That rebellious disciple Orochimaru…"
"Alright, we're not here to discuss that little brat Orochimaru's problem! Nor are we here to reminisce!"
Tobirama slammed his hand on the table and said in a cold voice, "Right now, pretty much the entire high command of Konoha is here. Let's talk about how to deal with Madara Uchiha!"
"According to the existing intelligence, he has already captured eight of the ninja world's jinchuriki, and has also obtained the Nine-Tails' chakra through the reanimated bodies of the Gold and Silver Brothers…"
"The threat of the Ten-Tails' revival is imminent!"
"…"
Itachi Uchiha frowned, habitually slandering his seniors. "If it weren't for Lord Second not completely destroying the Gold and Silver Brothers, we should be sitting here waiting for Madara to show himself…"
"If I hadn't sacrificed myself to hold back the Gold and Silver Brothers…" Tobirama defended himself in a cold voice, "The Konoha of that time would have had no future to speak of!"
"It was precisely Lord Second's policies that forced Madara to defect…"
"That's because Madara harbored ill intentions! And it's all in the past. Are we now going to blame the threat of the Ten-Tails' revival on my big brother distributing the Tailed Beasts back then?"
"…"
Itachi Uchiha slowly stood up, scanned the Hokage present, his gaze finally resting on Tobirama. "To be blunt, it is precisely because of Lord First Hokage's soft-heartedness that has led to the current situation…"
Hiruzen quickly spoke up, "Itachi, do not criticize…"
"Shut up, Saru!"
Tobirama stood up at the same time and looked at Itachi with a sneer. "It seems that little brat from back then has really grown up!"
"Fine, I'm not here to argue either…"
Itachi looked at him and lowered his head. "The most critical thing right now is the trouble of the Ten-Tails' revival. Let's divide up the combat power!"
"According to Kitahara's intelligence, the Ten-Tails is not something ordinary ninjas can compare to. Even if they go to the battlefield, it would be a futile sacrifice…"
Itachi had carefully calculated the worst-case scenario. It was nothing more than him and Kitahara together being unable to defeat Madara with the Ten-Tails…
But that guy Kitahara, ever since obtaining the Dragon Vein's chakra, had suddenly become a lot lazier. Perhaps it was because it had become stronger again and no longer cared about the trouble of the Ten-Tails…
After Itachi took office in Konoha, he had specially placed a small bed in the Hokage's office for Kitahara to take a nap.
At this moment, that crow was looking at this one, then at that one, curiously watching their discussion.
Tobirama tapped the table and said in a deep voice, "Lord Fifth, I must remind you, do not underestimate the power of ordinary ninjas… Even a low-level C-rank ninjutsu, when used by tens of thousands of ninjas together, is enough to shake our nerves!"
"Then I also have to remind you…"
Itachi raised his head and said in a low voice, "I hope Lord Second will consider carefully. The Ten-Tails can also use the Tailed Beast Bomb, and its power should not be considered weak…"
Tobirama subconsciously glanced at Kitahara. "…"
Just as they were about to continue their discussion, the sky suddenly darkened. Kitahara's eyes narrowed, and it spread its wings, soaring out of the office!
"Something's happened!"
Itachi's expression tightened. He also sensed several extremely powerful chakras descending upon Konoha!
The other Hokage also sensed the hostility. They exchanged a glance and quickly rushed out!
The third stage of the Joint Chunin Exams.
Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha, who were in the midst of a fierce battle in the exam hall, were suddenly stopped by a woman who had come through a space-time gate. Even all the spectators present were intimidated by her Byakugan!
"These two little ones, are they this generation's Indra and Asura chakra reincarnates? They look very interesting!"
"If it were in the past, perhaps I would have liked them very much!"
"But now…"
After a word of praise, Kaguya Otsutsuki's tone gradually grew cold. Her palm suddenly pierced through Naruto's abdomen. "In his body is chakra that he should not possess!"
Kaguya extended her palm and grabbed the largest chakra aggregate. The Nine-Tails demon fox instantly turned into a torrent of chakra and entered her body!
She could clearly feel her own power growing stronger!
Naruto's body, on the other hand, was like a broken rag doll, casually tossed to the ground by Kaguya. Blood was constantly seeping from his mouth and nose, and he was on the verge of losing his breath…
"Naruto!"
"Naruto!!"
Sasuke Uchiha watched this scene in a panic. He threw himself onto Naruto's body, two streams of bloody tears flowing from his eyes. "Hey, Naruto, hold on!"
"…Sasuke…"
Because the Tailed Beast in his body had been violently taken away, Naruto couldn't even move a finger. His pupils were losing focus…
Sasuke suddenly turned his head, his face fierce as he stared at Kaguya. The force of his will had already made him bite his lip. "Give me back… the Nine-Tails!"
The black tomoe in his scarlet eyes spun wildly in their sockets!
Madara looked at the angry Sasuke, as if looking at his own younger brother from the past. "Finally, because of the death of a dear friend, you have awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan?"
"What's sad is that even the miraculous power of the Mangekyo…"
"…cannot save your own friend."
"CAW!"
Just as Sasuke was about to get up and throw a punch at Kaguya, a crow appeared by his side, flapped its wings, and knocked him out of the ring!
A golden-yellow figure appeared on the stage at the same time, nervously grabbing his son's hand. "Naruto… don't be nervous… you'll be fine soon…"
It was the fastest, the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze!
He was going to give the Nine-Tails inside him to his son!
Itachi flapped his black wings and landed on the stage, blocking in front of Minato and his son. "Sasuke, go and take the Fourth and Naruto to Karin's place. Have Naruto hold on for a while. After we've dealt with things here, we'll go and save him…"
"Yes, brother!"
"Thank you, Lord Fifth!"
A golden flash of light appeared and vanished. Minato, carrying Naruto and Sasuke, disappeared from the stage.
This was not a battle they could interfere in right now.
A moment later.
Hashirama and Tobirama landed in the air and appeared by Itachi's side. They looked at the three people standing behind Kaguya, somewhat surprised and uncertain. "Madara?"
This isn't what I imagined!
Didn't they say Madara had revived the Ten-Tails?
What on earth is going on?
