In Konoha, Naruto lies down

But from Tsunade's tone, it seemed that she was somewhat dissatisfied with the Raikage's frequent initiation of the Five Kage summits.

The Five Kage Summit hadn't even begun yet, but the atmosphere was already tense. Each Kage had a wary air, with the Kaze and Mizukage being the more approachable. The others... it was hard to say.

After all, right now, only the Hidden Cloud Village has lost its tailed beast Jinchuriki, while other countries are doing fine and have not lost their tailed beasts yet.

Entering the tower, the light was dim, and several eyes were immediately focused on them. Naruto and Tsunade were calm and composed, slowly walking towards the elevator.

The rattling of chains echoed from below, and the massive mechanism activated, sending the wide elevator soaring upwards. Naruto glanced down before going up, then whispered to Tsunade from his side.

"Did someone pull it up from underneath?"

"How should I know?" Tsunade glanced at him sideways, "It's my first time here too. Are you interested?"

"No, just asking." Naruto sniffed. The elevator was rising very slowly, and the wind was blowing inside. "Why is it still leaking?"

"How do you think the Iron Country's neutrality came about?" Tsunade said, "A truly powerful country cannot be neutral. The Iron Country's neutrality is just a helpless move."

The elevator rose and stopped. There was no elevator door, so the two of them walked directly out of the simple elevator.

They seemed to be the last to arrive. Below was a long semicircular table, surrounded by curtains. Behind each shadow position was a corresponding curtain, and behind the curtain was a rest area for the attendants, which also served as a waiting area.

Naruto and Tsunade stood at the entrance, dozens of eyes cast their gazes over. The three siblings from the Wind Country were familiar faces. Naruto stared at Temari, then quickly looked away.

The scoundrels of the Land of Lightning wore stern faces, their wounds seemingly healed. The Fourth Raikage was a muscular figure, wearing only a cape.

Two guards, Darui and Xili, stood on both sides of the Fourth Raikage Ai with serious expressions.

The only people present who hadn't met each other were probably Ohnoki and his two companions from the Land of Earth, and Terumi and Mei from the Land of Water, who were standing leisurely on the side watching the fun.

Behind Ohnoki stands his granddaughter, the long-legged Kurotsuchi, who likes to hang out with her grandfather Ohnoki whenever she has nothing to do. She is a proper third-generation Kage and a legitimate hereditary princess.

Unsurprisingly, Kurotsuchi is the last candidate for Tsuchikage in the current situation of Iwagakure's talent shortage. He is famous for his Lava Release, but the power of his Lava Release is not very strong, which has aroused the suspicion of the Raikage.

After all, looking at the entire ninja world, there are only a handful of people who possess the Lava Release Kekkei Genkai, and the Raikage clearly remembered that Uchiha Sasuke, who kidnapped the two wooden men, used Lava Release.

Another of Ohnoki's is Akagi, a powerful ninja from the Hidden Rock Village. He is tall and can be called the strongest fat tiger in the ninja world. His strength is also extremely strong and it is difficult to be ignored.

At this moment, Naruto didn't even glance at Akagi, but instead glanced at Mei Terumi, his gaze pausing for a long moment. Thanks to Zabuza, the hot-tempered elder from the Blood Mist, all of Mei Terumi's peers had been killed by him alone.

As a result, Mei Terumi is almost 30 years old, and even though she has a broad mind, she still hasn't found a suitable marriage partner in the village. She is truly sitting firmly on the throne of the single queen.

Behind him stood the owner of the Ninja Sword Ayu, a man with a pure face but a softie at heart, the future Sixth Mizukage Chojuro. He was a coward and could only barely make any difference with the help of the Ninja Sword Ayu.

The other was Ao, the old scoundrel from the Hidden Mist Village. During the Third Shinobi World War, he had snatched a Byakugan from the Hyuga clan and completed its glorious evolution.

Naruto withdrew his gaze and turned to glance at Tsunade, only to find that she was not looking at anyone else but was staring at Mei Terumi's chest first.

He couldn't help but think to himself, "Oh my god, great minds think alike." Tsunade had been around a lot, so she must have known the heroes of the time. She noticed Naruto's gaze and met his.

The tacit smile immediately made Naruto break out in a cold sweat.

Chapter 254: A glance and an uncontrollable heartbeat

Tsunade didn't seem to care, she pulled Naruto closer and spoke in a low voice.

"I told you, Kirigakure, Sand Village, and Iwagakure are in a period of transition. Even if there are only two of them, there's nothing to be afraid of. If you go this way, Konoha will win."

As if she had seen through his doubts, she added another sentence.

"Don't worry, with the Iron Nation's leader, Mifune, here, there won't be any fighting here."

Naruto was soon relieved. He wasn't the only one who could use Lava Release. The world was so big, and there was nothing to be surprised about when ninjutsu collided with each other.

"Hokage-sama only brought one guard? He is truly brave and skilled." Ohnoki said indifferently. This little old man was indeed domineering.

Tsunade had a smile on her face, revealing no emotion.

"There are too many outstanding juniors in Konoha. It's hard to choose just anyone. I might as well take one with me to keep things quiet. After all, there doesn't seem to be anything important to discuss at this Five Kage Summit, right?"

"The guards I brought with me know nothing except ninjutsu."

These words were spoken softly, yet they carried a sting, and they dealt a ranged damage. Besides Konoha's allies, the Village of Sand Village, the Village of Mist, the Village of Sand Village, and the Village of Cloud were all hit at the same time.

The translation means: "You guys are almost extinct, and you are still pretending to be me?

Look at all these skinny-armed, skinny-legged people. What are they? Konoha is still a lean camel that's bigger than a horse. Any random group of people from the new generation are of higher quality than you.

What kind of trivial matters can be brought up to convene a Five Kage meeting? I didn't bring my secretary, so I need to make a quick decision. If there is something, I will speak to it. I am in a hurry to get home. Thank you."

There was nothing serious to begin with; the Akatsuki had just surfaced and been suppressed by Naruto. There was no movement at the moment, and the Raikage's request to Mifune to convene the Five Kage Conference was simply about the kidnapping of the Two-Tails Jinchuriki.

It can be seen that the three people from the Hidden Cloud Village did not look very happy. They probably didn't know that the two Yumu people they were thinking about were now locked in a sealed space.

Naruto is keeping her and has no intention of letting her go for the time being. Kumogakure is ambitious and spends all day thinking about conquering cities. Isn't this going to kill it?

Ohnoki was choked back, and the old man snorted coldly and turned to walk towards his seat.

Raikage Ai looked at Tsunade with some dissatisfaction, but Tsunade ignored him and walked straight to the seat in the middle that belonged to the Hokage.

The seats were U-shaped, with the Hokage sitting in the middle. On his sides were the Kazekage Gaara and the Tsuchikage Ōnoki, and on the outside were the Mizukage Mei Terumi and the Raikage Ai.

As the five Kages took their seats, their followers and subordinates quietly retreated behind the scenes on the second floor.

Mifune, the leader of the Iron Nation, mediated the situation, his face solemn as he sat directly in front of the seats for the five Kage. Suddenly, the lights came on, illuminating the entire venue.

Mifune looked around and said, "Now that all five Kage are here, let's begin."

Naruto yawned as he stood behind the scenes as the conversation began. He looked around and saw Temari and Kankuro standing together, and Kurotsuchi and Akagi on the other side.

Sensing his gaze, Temari turned back, meeting his gaze in the dim light. His eyes were bright, but not the kind that brought sunshine.

When looking at people, his eyelids would habitually raise slightly, with a hint of depth.

From a distance, Temari felt a little uneasy when he looked at her. Her heart skipped a beat. Her head felt dizzy and the blood rushed to her head, which was a bit unbearable.

She turned her face away, unable to continue watching. When she looked again after a while, Naruto had lowered his head, and was not sure what he was stepping on with his toes.

Outside the tent, the conversation of the five highest-ranking Kage in the ninja world could be heard clearly. It seemed that they were discussing a key issue, and the atmosphere was quite tense.

Raikage: "The two Yukito were kidnapped by Uchiha Sasuke, Konoha must be held responsible for this!"

"Ridiculous, Uchiha Sasuke has already defected from Konoha." Tsunade glanced at the Raikage, "I'm sure Kumogakure has also received this news a long time ago."

Upon hearing this, the fourth generation Ai Zhong was full of energy and asked angrily.

"That's your business, Konoha. Regardless of whether he's a traitor or not, it's Konoha's fault that Uchiha Sasuke wasn't captured. We don't have any traitors in Kumogakure!"

Tsunade chuckled, her beautiful eyes squinting, "Who knows?"

"You!" Raikage gritted his teeth.

"Hokage-sama has a sharp tongue, and his reputation is well-deserved." Ohnoki said sarcastically, "But he still lacks some experience in managing ninjas."

"After a ninja defected, it was the proper course of action for a great nation to mobilize the village's forces to quietly retrieve him. To leave him alone is unacceptable, isn't it, Hokage?"

Knock, knock! Tsunade knocked on the table and glanced at Ohnoki, her aura fully released.

"As far as I know, Deidara, one of the members of Akatsuki, is from Iwagakure Village. After his defection, he caused considerable casualties to other villages."

"And this person is also a disciple of Tsuchikage-sama, right?"

"That was a long time ago. The Iwagakure Village had gone through the Third Shinobi World War, so they didn't have any extra manpower to pursue him. It's understandable."

Ohnoki's face looked unhappy, obviously he had been hit in a sore spot.

"Really? After all these years, there's still no extra power." Tsunade said, "Lord Tsuchikage is getting old. If we can't find a suitable successor, I think the Iwagakure Village should just disband."

"You!" Ohnoki was speechless. There was indeed a lack of young people and talent in the Iwagakure Village.

Listening to Tsunade's complaints, Naruto smiled insincerely. This time, Tsunade didn't come here to solve the problem. On the one hand, she came to observe the situation, and on the other hand, she wanted to fish for Danzo.

The Hokage was not in the village, so it would be strange if Danzo didn't have some tricks up his sleeve. Tsunade had already made arrangements for this. If she could catch the fish, that would be great. If not, forget it.

The topic of the conversation turned to the Jinchūriki of each village. The Raikage took the lead and pointed directly to the disappearance of the Nine-Tails in Konoha.

"Konoha can totally accept the Nine-Tails disappearing. Konoha despises the military power gained at the cost of the life of the Tailed Beast Jinchuriki." Tsunade remained calm throughout.

"Peace in the ninja world cannot be created by the tailed beasts. If anyone tries to launch an attack through the tailed beasts, Konoha has enough power to strike back."

As she said this, Tsunade stared at Kumogakure and said with a smile.

"It would be too cruel to allow the village companions to become vessels for the tailed beasts, wouldn't it, Lord Raikage?"

The Fourth Raikage Ai has always treated Killer Bee as his own younger brother. It is no exaggeration to say that Killer Bee is a minefield that he cannot touch and will explode if touched.

Sure enough, as soon as Tsunade finished speaking, the Raikage instantly got furious.

With a loud bang, a big hole was hammered into the solid iron table.

The moment the Raikage stood up, the five Kage guards behind the scenes all appeared instantly, blocking their respective Kages with alert faces.

Only the position in front of the Hokage seemed a little empty, with only a young man standing there empty-handed.

His eyes were somewhat cold, and he had no weapons in his hands. He stood in front of Tsunade, just in the middle of the crowd, protecting her firmly.

The conversation ended here.

Mifune set off to arrange food and lodging for the Five Kage. To avoid further conflict, the three people from the Hidden Cloud Village were placed in a separate place.

The Sand Village and Konoha Village lived in the same inn, on two floors. The Kirigakure and Iwagakure Village lived in the inn next door, and the four parties were separated from the Kumogakure Village who came to question them.

The problem hadn't been resolved yet, so they couldn't just disperse and return to their villages without reaching an agreement. Mifune, the Iron Nation's leader, offered a fair proposal: postpone the matter for a day and resume discussions tomorrow.

With a click, the door was pushed open from the outside.

Naruto walked in and looked around, followed closely by Tsunade, who casually took a few glances and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

"There's a bathtub in this place?"

"It's not made of iron?" After eliminating the safety risks in the room, Naruto also leaned over to take a closer look. "It seems to be quite big."

"After all, some ninjas have different body shapes. The Iron Country has always been very hospitable, so the size of the bathtub will naturally be taken into consideration." Tsunade said, holding her hands.

"Is that so." He tutted and made a move to lie down in it, but was directly pulled out by Tsunade.

"Go lie down by yourself." She said unhappily.

"Stingy." Naruto snorted and turned to leave. "Then I'll go back to my room to take a shower and come back. I can have dinner with Lady Tsunade later."

"Don't come over so quickly. I want to take a bath too." She casually let her blonde hair fall behind her head, took off her shoes, and stepped on the fluffy carpet on the floor of the room.

Almost at the same time, another hand reached to the back and unbuttoned it in an instant. Suddenly, the waves surged and the elasticity was amazing.

Naruto said as he looked up at the ceiling, not knowing where to put his eyes.

"Okay, later."

With a loud splash, Naruto sank into the bathtub, his head tilted back against the edge. His eyes were only slightly open, narrowed slightly, as he reviewed the events of the day in his mind.

The two Yukitos were captured by him, using the name of Uchiha Sasuke. Cloud Village blamed Konoha on the surface, but actually wanted to drag everyone into the water.

For Kumogakure, the tailed beast Jinchūriki may die, but the tailed beast will not, it will only disappear temporarily. The purpose of the Five Kage Conference is to emphasize that the Two-Tails is still nominally Kumogakure.

The fourth generation Lei Ai may seem strong but simple-minded, but the perceptive ninja Xi behind him is no pushover. Are the two Yukitos really that important to them?

Not necessarily. The Fourth Raikage believed in the law of the jungle, with his younger brother Kira being the only exception.

If it was Killer Bee that Naruto took away at that time, then the Raikage's action would be excusable. But today, the Raikage seemed to be mentioning the fact that Konoha did not have the Nine-Tails intentionally or unintentionally.

Could it be that, having lost the Two-Tails, Kumogakure was planning to propose a reshuffle of the Tailed Beasts? This was unlikely, as it didn't seem like something the Raikage could pull off.

He would take things one step at a time. He slowly closed his eyes and let his thoughts drift away. All he had to do was protect Tsunade, and he didn't need to think about anything else.

After half an hour.

Naruto was getting dressed, his hair still wet, and his figure looked thin in the mirror.

There was a knock on the door and his eyes moved over. Tsunade never knocked like him.

Chapter 255 Do You Still Want Me?

The door was opened and Temari stood outside with her hands behind her back, looking a little uneasy as if she was having an affair.

"What's the matter?" he asked, his voice a little cold.

He was wearing a tight black long-sleeved shirt that highlighted his muscles. He raised his taut jaw slightly as he slowly looked at Temari.

Hearing this, Temari subconsciously looked up and met his gaze again. It seemed that she had just taken a shower and had not had time to dry it yet. The edges of her hair were wet, and even her eyes were wet.

"No, about what happened last time... I just wanted to ask if you were doing well." Temari's mind was confused and she didn't know what she said. She wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

Naruto glanced back into the room, then glanced at the next door. He figured Tsunade was still in the bath, and the arguing in the meeting was really tiring, so she probably wouldn't be eating dinner soon.

It just so happened that he also had something to ask Temari. The fact that Sand Village and Konoha had a deep cooperation because of him was also thanks to Temari. In terms of both emotion and reason, she had indeed helped him a lot.
