Naruto: Inheriting the Legacy of a Person Who Traveled Through Time

Chapter 65 The Five Kage Summit

Seeing the Five Kage Summit descend into chaos due to the argument, Raikage A, who had remained silent throughout, glared and raised his large hand adorned with metal arm guards.

"Stop rambling on!"

Whoosh!

Sensing the sudden surge of chakra from the Raikage, the ten guards who had been on guard on the second floor leaped down, creating a situation of mutual restraint in the narrow space.

boom!

An ordinary wooden table could hardly withstand a casual blow from the Raikage; a huge hole was immediately smashed into the tabletop.

"Ugh!"

Seeing the conflict erupt at the Five Kage Summit, the host, Mifune, felt extremely troubled and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

"This is a place for discussion; please be mindful of your manners."

At the signal of the five Kage, the ten guards retreated to the second floor. The Raikage, realizing his lapse in decorum, snorted and sat back down in his chair.

"The Hidden Leaf Village, the Rock Village, the Sand Village, the Mist Village, and the Akatsuki are all composed of rogue ninja from your respective villages. Moreover, we have discovered that you have all secretly cooperated with the Akatsuki to varying degrees in the past."

Once he calmed down, Raikage A began to righteously bring up old grievances, such as the fact that Iwagakure had once employed Akatsuki, and that the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, had secretly cooperated with Orochimaru to launch the Konoha Crush plan.

"————Although we don’t know if Orochimaru had already left Akatsuki at that time, your father, the Fourth Kazekage, and the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, both lost their lives because of him."

What?

Upon hearing Raikage's words, many people's gazes fell upon the puppet beside the light screen.

If it weren't for the appearance of a miracle worker who stopped the battle between Orochimaru and Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Third Hokage would likely have been unable to withstand the combined attack of Orochimaru and the Senju brothers, and would have had to use the forbidden technique Reaper Death Seal, ultimately losing his life.

"It's highly likely that someone was behind this scheme!"

In the light screen, Danzo simply closed his eyes and listened quietly to the Raikage's accusations, as if the person the Raikage was talking about had nothing to do with him.

That old fox!

This is the shared sentiment of the lightning shadows within the light screen and all the viewers.

"Hmph, they've completely disgraced Konoha, yet they remain sitting there as if nothing happened. Their skin is so thick that even a kunai couldn't pierce it. No wonder when the Sand and Sound ninjas attacked Konoha, they didn't see a single Root member."

Tsunade, who had long disliked Danzo, clenched her fists so tightly they cracked.

"Hmph, this kind of thing happened because Hiruzen was incompetent, it has nothing to do with me."

Danzo, whose head was being painfully constricted by numerous wooden strips, forced himself to lift his head. Naturally, he would not admit that the Konoha Crush plan had anything to do with him, even though Orochimaru, his collaborator, was right in front of him.

"Hmph—"

Orochimaru chuckled coldly, but did not expose Danzo to his face.

Next, the Raikage pointed the finger at Kirigakure, saying that based on various clues, the Akatsuki's origin was very likely in the Land of Water.

To avoid becoming the target of public criticism, the Fifth Mizukage, Mei Terumi, had no choice but to reveal the truth of the matter, briefly explaining how the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, had been manipulated for a long time.

The people outside the light screen were already numb, because one shocking thing after another happened.

As we all know, Yagura was one of the perfect Jinchuriki and the Kage of Kirigakure. How could such a great figure, standing at the pinnacle of the ninja world, be controlled by someone else?

Anyone with even a little knowledge would immediately think of the same name.

Only Madara Uchiha, only his Sharingan could do this.

"The leader of Akatsuki is probably Madara Uchiha."

Danzo, who had been silent throughout the light screen, suddenly spoke up and casually added a sentence, but the effect was undoubtedly astonishing.

Both the other four Kage inside the light screen and the Konoha people outside the light screen showed expressions of shock.

"Impossible. I saw his body myself and confirmed that he died in the Valley of the End."

The one who reacted the most was undoubtedly Tobirama Senju outside the light screen. He rushed to Danzo and grabbed the other man by the collar.

"Shimura, have you been scammed?"

Seeing that his younger brother was about to strangle Danzo to death, Hashirama rushed to stop him.

"Don't be impulsive. Even if Madara survived back then, he's definitely dead now. At least I haven't sensed his chakra during this time. However, the Akatsuki they're talking about must have some connection to Madara. It's highly likely that they're the ones who will revive him in the future."

Although Hashirama could not foresee what would happen in the future, the First Hokage still guessed the general outline based on the information in the two light screens.

"I clearly checked it myself back then, and Madara was already dead at my eldest brother's hands."

Tobirama released his grip on Danzo, but he was still utterly bewildered.

"The answer lies with Danzo."

With a casual flick of his finger, Danzo's clothes spontaneously combusted, yet his skin remained untouched by charring. This masterful manipulation of flames astonished the ninjas present.

Then, they witnessed an incredibly disgusting scene.

Danzo's right side looked incredibly strange, with large patches of white skin, a clear indication of the transplanted Hashirama cells.

Most importantly, on Danzo's right arm, the ten three-tomoe Sharingan eyes emitted a faint crimson glow, trembling occasionally, causing the Konoha people who witnessed this scene to get goosebumps and feel a chill down their spines.

No wonder the Second Hokage angrily denounced Danzo as neither human nor ghost; he had actually transplanted the Sharingan into his arm.

"I'm going to kill you!"

Sasuke's eyes turned bloodshot, and his Sharingan activated automatically under the stimulation of intense emotions, causing him to rush towards Danzo.

It must be him!

It must have been him and that man who joined forces that led to the extermination of their clan in such a short time.

"Sasuke, don't be impulsive."

Naruto tried to stop Sasuke, but it was too late. Sasuke rushed in front of Danzo and was about to interrogate him about what happened on the night of the massacre when a wooden stick was pulled up from the ground and tightly bound Sasuke, preventing him from taking the last step.

"Sasuke, calm down. I believe the village will give you an explanation."

Tetsuya maintained the hand seal with one hand, and no matter how much Sasuke struggled, he could not break free from the control of Wood Release.

"I propose that, during this period of dealing with Akatsuki, we should establish an unprecedented allied army of the five great ninja villages. These are critical times, and we must work together."

Just then, Mifune, who was inside the light screen, spoke up and made a suggestion, drawing everyone's attention back to him.

So this is why the five great ninja villages later formed an allied army?

Upon seeing Hashirama and Orochimaru during the Fourth Shinobi World War, this thought crossed both of their minds.

"Currently, only the Nine-Tails of Konoha remains under the control of the Allied Shinobi Forces. This will be key to our victory over the Akatsuki. Therefore, as a neutral nation, I propose that command of the ninja army be handed over to the Hokage. What do you think?"

After hearing Mifune's words, the people outside the light screen looked at each other in bewilderment.

Apart from the Nine-Tails, have the other eight tailed beasts fallen into the hands of the Akatsuki?

Danzo actually became the commander-in-chief of the allied forces?

Only a few people noticed that Danzo's lips curled up slightly when Mifune spoke, which was highly unusual.
