Part Time Employee in Konoha-Chapter 319: Five Kage Summit

Black Zetzu was too timid.

If Kaguya were to be resurrected, Black Zetzu would naturally not be afraid; however, the chakra of the Sage of Six Paths might still be monitoring the ninja world, making Black Zetzu somewhat anxious.

In fact, more than just a little.

Black Zetzu was so scared that he didn't even dare to mention Kaguya's name too often, fearing that if he mentioned it too much, it would trigger the nerves of the Sage of Six Paths, who might suddenly appear to stop them from resurrecting Kaguya.

"Now we must revive Mother as soon as possible..."

Black Zetzu looked at Akihara Kagura, who was reeling in a fishing rod, and couldn't help but urge, "Kagura, that guy could change his mind and stop us at any moment..."

"Of course."

Akihara Kagura continued to wind his fishing line methodically, speaking softly, "Now we have another problem..."

"We need a sufficiently large army."

"If there isn't enough pressure, they might only send a small group to fight me. Therefore, we need to find a way to gather everyone together..."

"According to the records on the bark, reviving that person requires a massive amount of chakra. Besides resurrecting the Ten-Tails, we also need to gather as much chakra from the ninja world as possible to accomplish this..."

"..."

Black Zetzu's gaze turned to the Gedo Statue, and in a hoarse voice, he continued to deceive, "The Gedo Statue has another use. We can use the chakra of the seven Tailed Beasts inside it to cultivate White Zetsu, then use Hashirama cells to strengthen them. They can also be used for combat..."

"..."

Akihara Kagura was well aware of this since he also had a Ten-Tails shell inside his body, allowing him to freely cultivate White Zetsu.

As for forcing the ninja world's ninjas to gather together... freēnovelkiss.com

This was not just for reviving Kaguya. Akihara Kagura also needed to gather the ninjas to collect enough chakra for the Ten-Tails shell inside him.

However...

Akihara Kagura's method of collecting chakra was more environmentally friendly. He only absorbed the chakra present in a person's body at that moment.

"Then let's start cultivating White Zetsu..."

Following Black Zetzu's gaze, Akihara Kagura looked towards the Gedo Statue, "If we can cultivate enough White Zetsu, and if their combat power is insufficient, we can use them as sacrifices for the Edo Tensei to revive a reasonably powerful army..."

"..."

Black Zetzu's forehead twitches.

"The sooner, the better..."

Akihara Kagura turned to Black Zetzu and softly said, "The Five Great Nations will soon hold a Five Kage Summit in Rain Village. They will certainly discuss how to stop me from destroying the ninja world at that meeting. We should give them a small shock before that..."

"How do you know this?"

Black Zetzu looked at Akihara Kagura in surprise, then seemed to realize something, nodding to himself, "After all, the great nations of the ninja world have all suffered from your torment. They probably won't miss this chance to kill you. The Hokage's assistant in Konoha once made those great nations too afraid to breathe loudly when thinking about Konoha..."

"No..."

Akihara Kagura shook his head, revealing a mysterious smile, "Because the person who proposed the ninja world alliance was me..."

"!!!"

Black Zetzu's eyes widened.

What a sinister plot this was!

Even the matter of the ninja world alliance was part of this guy's conspiracy!

Land of Rain, Rain Village.

This small country, caught between the great ninja villages of three major nations, had once been a battleground for those great nations. Now, it was gradually becoming the center of the ninja world.

Ninjas from all the ninja villages in the ninja world were traversing the Land of Rain, heading to Rain Village to discuss various matters regarding the Five Kage Summit to be held there.

Besides the Five Great Nations, many other ninja villages in the ninja world had long agreed to Hanzo of the Salamander's request, including influential nations like the Land of Iron, known for its neutrality in the ninja world.

All this was due to one man's efforts.

Hanzo of the Salamander.

Hanzo of the Salamander actively visited many people.

Despite his old age, there were still many willing to give him a face, especially many small nations that highly revered Hanzo of the Salamander.

For example, the Land of Iron, a well-known neutral samurai country in the ninja world, whose leader Mifune greatly admired Hanzo of the Salamander. At Hanzo's invitation, they agreed to join in at a critical moment to prevent the destruction of the ninja world.

This was quite natural.

After all, Akihara Kagura wants to destroy the Ninja World, making it impossible for others to survive. Konoha propagates that their former Hokage's assistant, Akihara Kagura, will kill everyone…

Of course.

The most important aspect remains the five great nations.

To get the five great nations to agree to unite, Tsunade took the initiative to extend an invitation, asking Hanzo of the Salamander to act as the guarantor and convene this Five Kage Summit.

Inside Rain Village.

Hanzo of the Salamander took on the role of host.

In terms of status, this elder, who had a great reputation in the upper echelons of the Ninja World, indeed had the qualification to take on this responsibility. Even the leaders of the major ninja villages had to show him some respect.

For this Ninja World summit, Hanzo of the Salamander specifically constructed a grand conference room. To prevent conflicts among the five great nations before the meeting, he even designed the conference room in a pentagonal shape, with each nation entering from a different area.

Inside the pentagonal conference room.

For their safety, the Five Kage brought numerous Anbu members.

These Anbu sat beside the conference room, ready to rush in and protect their respective Kage. This was all meticulously considered by the elderly Hanzo of the Salamander.

"Now…"

"Please welcome the Five Kage."

Large lights illuminated one by one.

The grand conference room was gradually lit up.

In the middle of the five pathways, five figures appeared.

The Fifth Kazekage of Sand Village in the Land of Wind, Gaara. The Third Tsuchikage of Rock Village in the Land of Earth, Onoki. The Fifth Mizukage of Mist Village in the Land of Water, Mei Terumi. The Fourth Raikage of Cloud Village in the Land of Lightning, A. And the Fifth Hokage of Konoha in the Land of Fire, Tsunade.

The five individuals who held power in the Ninja World walked along their respective pathways to their positions, each harboring different thoughts.

In the Konoha area.

Tsunade's bodyguards were Jiraiya and Orochimaru.

Due to the significance of this meeting, Tsunade only trusted her close friends, and Jiraiya decided to bring Orochimaru along.

Tsunade agreed.

After all, during the time when Akihara Kagura served as the Hokage's assistant in Konoha, they had offended many ninja villages. At that time, no other village dared to speak up…

Now that Akihara Kagura has defected…

These ninja villages would inevitably want to take this opportunity to make trouble.

"That man Hanzo…"

Jiraiya glanced around the conference room and couldn't help but praise, "He really made this meeting ceremonious…"

"It seems he put in a lot of effort…"

Orochimaru smiled lightly and nodded, "Let's hope that if a fight breaks out, it won't be too embarrassing…"

"..."

Jiraiya fell silent.

Because Jiraiya knew Konoha's reputation in the Ninja World.

Due to Akihara Kagura's presence, all ninja villages' dissatisfaction with Konoha had been suppressed. Now these villages would definitely target Tsunade, at the very least they would take the opportunity to kick Konoha when it's down.

"I'll go first!"

The Fifth Kazekage Gaara straightforwardly stated his demands, "Now, Sand Village demands that Konoha return all the ninjutsu and forbidden techniques obtained from us, compensate us for all previous losses, and annul all former agreements…"

Gaara's gaze fell on Tsunade as he solemnly said, "I appreciate Konoha's past support for Sand Village, but the burden Konoha placed on us is too heavy…"

"Sand Village does not wish for war…"

Gaara closed his eyes and remained silent, only quietly stating his demands, "I am merely making reasonable requests…"

"The demands of Mist Village are the same."

The Fifth Mizukage Mei Terumi voiced her demands, her tone heavy, "In the past, we were forced to become Konoha's vassal. Mist Village needs more independence. We also demand the annulment of all agreements with Konoha, the return of our ninjutsu and forbidden techniques, and compensation for our village's reconstruction…"

"Hmph…"

The Fourth Raikage A glanced at Tsunade and said solemnly, "Tsunade, Konoha must also return our Cloud Village's ninjutsu and forbidden techniques, and send all your ninjutsu and forbidden techniques to Cloud Village. This is the final ultimatum before the two villages go to war…"

Actually…

The Fourth Raikage had also considered taking Tsunade as a hostage.

However, remembering that Tsunade had once saved him during her travels, he decided to forgo this. He only wanted to retrieve Cloud Village's secret techniques first, "Additionally, Konoha's ninjas are forbidden from using and spreading Cloud Village's secret techniques!"

"..."

The Third Tsuchikage Onoki also appeared solemn.

The Third Tsuchikage also wanted to say something, but he couldn't think of any real losses he had suffered. He had only lost face at the time, and Rock Village had actually been one of the least affected.

After all...

Akihara Kagura had only kidnapped him at the time.

However, now that Konoha had fallen, the Third Tsuchikage Onoki made an outrageous demand: "We demand that the Land of Fire cede territory to compensate for the unequal treaties we've signed with Konoha over the years, as a final ultimatum before the war..."

"..."

Tsunade closed her eyes and did not respond.

Before the Five Kage Summit, Tsunade had anticipated some of the excessive demands these great nations might make, but she hadn't expected them to be so eager!

In the past, Konoha, with Akihara Kagura's support, had dominated the entire ninja world and extracted benefits from other great nations that were hard to digest. Now, after Akihara Kagura's defection, the backlash had come so swiftly...

"..."

Everyone in the meeting room looked at Tsunade.

The Fifth Hokage took a deep breath and slowly placed her hand on the table: "I hope everyone understands one thing: Konoha's intention in contacting the other great nations was to prevent a crisis that could destroy the ninja world, not to hear you all demand a piece of us like hyenas. Don't think Konoha is afraid of war..."

"Tsunade, this mess was caused by your Konoha people..."

The Fourth Raikage, A, snorted discontentedly and slammed his fist on the table: "Konoha should have killed that guy Akihara Kagura long ago!"

"Young one..."

The Third Tsuchikage Onoki looked at Tsunade and questioned in a deep voice: "Konoha can't handle the mess it created and wants the entire ninja world to help? Isn't this unfair to the ninja world?"

"..."

The Fifth Kazekage Gaara and the Fifth Mizukage Mei Terumi nodded in agreement.

After all...

This was indeed Konoha's own doing!

"I understand your thoughts."

Tsunade narrowed her eyes, her gaze turning sharp: "You all want to start a new ninja war before Akihara Kagura destroys the ninja world, clearing the path for him, correct?"

"Calm down..."

Hanzo of the Salamander quickly interrupted Tsunade, even taking the initiative to maintain order in the meeting: "Everyone, the purpose of this meeting is to discuss preventing Akihara Kagura from destroying the ninja world. Talking about those things now is like dividing post-war spoils..."

"Before the war starts..."

The Third Tsuchikage Onoki, being the most senior, had the right to chat with Hanzo: "It's not unreasonable to distribute interests in advance. We can't make the entire ninja world pay for Konoha's troubles..."

"Hmph..."

The Fourth Raikage agreed with Onoki's opinion.

However, given their past enmity, the Fourth Raikage would never willingly admit his agreement.

"Enough."

Tsunade shook her head and looked at the other Kages present, speaking in a solemn voice: "Konoha will return the benefits we gained from Akihara Kagura, after we prevent him from destroying the ninja world. This includes secret techniques from Sand Village, Mist Village, and Cloud Village, as well as some unreasonable treaties we signed..."

"As for other unreasonable demands!"

"Konoha will categorically refuse!"

"This is Konoha's final bottom line!"

Tsunade glanced coldly at everyone present: "Whether we can stop Akihara Kagura before we divide the interests is another matter entirely!"

"Moreover..."

"You are not entirely blameless..."

"You had many chances to kill Akihara Kagura back then, but ended up being forced to sign treaties with Konoha. Some of you here even became his captives!"

"As far as I know..."

"The Third Tsuchikage Onoki was forced to teach Akihara Kagura the Dust Release, which he used in a recent battle to defeat Uchiha Madara..."

"..."

The Third Tsuchikage Onoki's face turned from anger to embarrassment, and the elderly man's small fist pounded the table as he tried to explain his grievance!

"What I taught him was fake!"
